Gratitude is a signature strength that can be tested and measured. It is an appreciation of someone else's character. It is one of the most endorsed strengths around the world. Gratitude shows a strength of character that contributes to life fulfillment and satisfaction. It implies awareness and thankfulness. Gratitude can be built by focusing on positive aspects. Here is an example: "Universe, I am grateful that I have time to play with my pets." Try this exercise: Think of something you are grateful for in your life and express your gratitude. Reliable and validated exercises can build your gratitude, such as journaling and writing structured gratitude letters. Studies show a directly proportional correlation between happiness and gratitude as well as an indirect correlation between gratitude and depression. This correlation is in line with the definition and diagnosis of depression. Here is an example: "Doctor, I am grateful for all the valuable feedback you have ...

Are you happy with the quality of your every day moments? Are your relationships rich, your work rewarding and the essence of your experiences engaging and exhilarating? Your world mirrors the through-line of your thinking. If you're not quite content with what's showing up on the outside, then it's time to explore the inner workings of your playground. A lot has been written on shifting your limiting beliefs. There is tremendous value in identifying those thoughts that constrict your flow and engaging them at a conscious level. However, if you're not getting results with this strategy you might want to shift gears and try another approach. Limiting beliefs can be slippery eels and a direct approach can sometimes be counterproductive. Instead, focus on what opens your flow. Getting into a feel good state is a much more graceful, and fun, way to create a new reality! Here's an exploration to help you distill the essence of gratitude out of EVERY encounter: 1. Reflect...

Ever had one of those days when you just feel stuck. Sometimes it can stretch out into weeks, and even months. No matter what you do, you just can't bring yourself to do what you know you need to do. Knowing the steps you must take, and being unable to take them, might even move you into a spiral of self doubt. It's times like these that 'knowing' what you should do doesn't really help. The very thing causing you frustration could be something personal, like knowing that you need to exercise and eat healthy, or it could be about your business, knowing that you need to increase sales so you must write that squeeze page for your upcoming preview teleseminar, send that solo email and post on social media. It doesn't really matter what 'it' is, you just can't bring yourself to do it. You don't have the energy to exercise, or the words don't flow for your copy. You're stuck in quicksand and you can't bring yourself to take any course corre...

  Have you ever wondered why sometimes we get something that we really didn't want in our lives? People often tell me, "I didn't ask for THAT!" In fact, some people think that the Law of Attraction 'isn't working for me' when they attract something they didn't want into their life--but it is. You see, the Law of Attraction doesn't hear the words 'don't, not or no' (as in, 'I don't want that.' 'That's not what I want.' 'No more of this!') it only responds to your feelings (your vibes) about that subject. If thinking about a certain situation causes you to feel upset, the Law of Attraction sends you MORE upsetting situations. Here's a story sent to me by a reader, that demonstrates what I mean: I went to a charity event last night (for which I paid $50) and then I donated another $20 for raffle tickets for various prizes. The idea was to put your ticket into the bowl that represented the prize you wante...

  One of the most common inquiries during a Tarot reading typically concerns matters of romance and partnerships. Naturally, people consult the Tarot for answers about love. One would expect that most people would want knowledge about their future love life: who and when that special somebody would be entering their life. Yet, many come to the Tarot for guidance about a current relationship. Typically, these are the relationships that have reached a stalemate. In these cases, the relationships have lost their sense of direction or purpose. The Tarot has an exceptional ability to uncover the areas in a relationship that are struggling. More importantly, the Tarot can identify the key issues that are going on within each partner. This often refers to each individual's emotional development, expectations, and past experiences that are being projected into the relationship. One would hope that the Tarot would tell us exactly what we need to do in order to bring harmony back into a rela...

 Tarot card reading invariably conjures up visions of 'that' old gypsy women sitting in front of her crystal ball in a misty room full of weird things. The word 'Tarot' itself has that aura of mystery around it since no one knows exactly where or when Tarot reading originated. Most of the recorded history of the tarot cards comes from Italy, although historians are sure of its existence much before that. Tarot may have been derived from ancient Egyptian tablets (since the concept of Egyptian hieroglyphics and some Tarot symbols are same-silent figures that speak only by their appearance and representation) or from the Chaldeans' secret texts. Some believe that the Tarot was brought to Europe by the Knights Templar after the Crusades while others believe it is the gypsies who would indulge in Tarot reading, while they travelled through the continent in the Middle Ages. Historians have found evidence that the 78 card Tarot decks were used while Tarot reading to tell f...

 At the last dating workshop I taught, several people expressed the thought that they couldn't bear to date again. 'I just can't take any more hurt,' lamented one woman. A man complained, 'Putting myself out there only to get shot down another time is too much heartache.' Letting yourself be vulnerable is risky. Yet, it is the only path to love. If you don't open your heart and allow yourself to be vulnerable, you close yourself off to love. There are ways to make vulnerability easier in dating. Here are some tips on how. 1. UNDERSTAND THAT GUARDING YOUR HEART DOESN'T WORK. As people date, they can experience heartache and vow not to be vulnerable again. Some put up walls to try and protect their hearts. This sets them up for failure. When Mary picked Jack to marry, because he loved her more than she loved him, not only did she settle but she falsely assumed that this was a guarantee against heartbreak. Unfortunately, this assumption didn't hold up....
