Do You Trust Others? Do They Trust You?

5/18/2016

Learning to trust is one of the most important elements of life. Those who trust others live calmer, more emotionally stable lives. Every bit as important, those who live their lives in ways that are trustworthy will no doubt be living their best lives. Trust can be defined as complete confidence in a person, plan or situation. Trust is also the trait of believing in the honesty and reliability of others. Essentially, when we trust someone, we have confidence or faith that they’ll behave a certain way.

Consider these strategies when you want to learn to trust:

Are you trying to lead a life where you are committed to displaying excellence in everything that you do? This is a wonderful way to lead your life. One way to reach this point is by taking ownership and responsibility for all of your actions.

Once you 'own' your choices and accept the consequences you will be viewed as a person who can be respected. Other people will see you as someone who can be counted on, and this is a huge trait to own.

The easiest way to display ownership is by...

A huge factor in burnout is the stress related to feeling like you do not have enough time to get everything done in a day. It can feel like everyone wants you to attend to things immediately, even things that are not really that important! Our bodies are not machines, and it is important to remember that we cannot treat them as such. This is why learning how to set priorities is so important. Surprisingly, there are many people who do not know how to do this effectively. One of the first things I work with new clients on is learning how to set priorities in one's life.

"The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities." – Stephen Covey

Stephen Covey has created a quadrant grid that is helpful in determining where you are currently spending your time, and where you should be spending your time.

Does your morning routine consist of staying in bed as late as possible while barely making it to work on time? Getting the day off on the wrong foot can negatively impact your entire day. Imagine how different your life would be if you had a morning routine that ensured a good day, instead!

If you’re like most people, your morning probably goes something like this:

Alarm goes off.
Hit snooze (3 times, at least).
Lie there and think about how much you don’t want to get up. Or maybe you think about how much you dislike your job.
Shower.
Get dressed.
Run out the door with a granola bar (or nothing) in your hand.

How can you expect to have a great day when you have a morning routine that is disjointed, harried, and unhealthy? A good day requires intentional preparation and a solid foundation.

Consider these ideas when developing your positive morning routine:

Using the NLP Swish Pattern to Break Bad Habits

7/27/2015

An effective NLP technique which can help abolish many bad or unwanted habits and behaviors, such as smoking, overeating, nail biting, and so forth is the “Swish” pattern. It works by changing your focus just when you are about to drop into the old habit unconsciously, putting a newly-introduced desirable habit into your conscious mind as a substitute. This interruption changes your focus and makes you consciously aware of what you are about to do.

Remember, whenever you desire to break a habit, it is very important to substitute a more desirable habit in its place. Trying to break a bad habit without substituting some desirable alternative in its place leaves a void, and the unconscious may try to fill the void by bringing back the old bad habit or another unwanted behavior in its place.

The Swish pattern has several different variations. Here are two simple ways of executing it:
