During the first few weeks of starting this blog I would say to myself, "But I'm not an expert! All I know is I've tried a lot of things; some things worked and some things haven't. I just want to share what I know...is this enough?!" For days I would go on and on about this, firmly believing that I needed to answer this question before I could go on…

A few days ago I woke up remembering an unpleasant dream I just had. In the dream I was having an awful argument with one of the employees from a former business I used to own. Triggered by this dream, I was flooded with all the things I felt "went wrong" with this old business as I went about my day…

Sometimes when I feel upset and hopeless about my life (especially after having an argument with someone in my family or something I wanted to attract into my life hasn't happened yet) I watch this empowering, inspiring video and I immediately start to unhook myself from the negative thoughts of my Inner Critic...

Whatever your new project is that you want to start (or have already started) it has become important to you to stick with it. But what if you have a track record for dropping out when you've only just begun? We’ve all experienced discouraging thoughts: "Why is it taking me so long to do it like the Pros?" Who says, you're Inner Critic?

Today I was frustrated with this concept of knowing I can write more articles than I've actually produced, so what's the hold up? I've been working on writing a review for The Artist's Way: A Spiritual Path to Higher Creativity [10th Anniversary Edition], and found Cameron's blurb on taking risks and perfectionism…

I have a friend who wants to go back to school to get a Master's Degree in Finance. She told her business partner that she's thinking about getting a Master's Degree. He told her that it was essentially "A waste of time." And that "maybe you're trying to run away from the Real World.” --This entire scenario is destructive on many levels…

If you're curious about what it looks like when a person transforms his outlook from one of limitation (negative beliefs) to one of expanding possibility (positive beliefs), here is a story of a man who started with an extremely negative outlook and bit by bit learned how to transcend the illusion that negativity creates...

I read an interesting article from Steve Pavlina today, called Overcoming Indecision. Pavlina describes the traditional "decision-making process" that many of us fall into and why it's ineffective. He suggests an alternative decision-making approach, one that focuses on "The Power of Now". While reading his article…

"Think positive," someone says to you when your Inner Critic seems to be the only voice you hear in your head. But what happens when these suggested affirmations don't apply to the situation you're in? Positive thoughts take practice and when you're suddenly in a jam and caught off guard when receiving some "bad news"…
Limiting Belief
I’m a loser who quits everything I start.
Playback Affirmation
Even though my quitting this project (or career path) makes me feel like a loser who quits everything I start…I deeply and completely accept myself. And I am choosing to empower myself by letting go of roles and projects that limit me from expressing who I am and what I have to offer this World.

Limiting Belief
I’m afraid I will [fail at this, not be good at, be unqualified to work on] this new project.
Playback Affirmation
Even though I’m afraid of starting this [new project, book, artwork, assignment], I deeply and completely accept myself. And I am willing to plug into the Divine Creator and trust that I am guided in everything that I [create. . .write, paint, design, build, compose, manage].
