affirmation for the day:

try repeating this to yourself five times throughout your day today!

"I am powerful, and I am building the life I want. If something isn't working, I'll find or create something new. I will navigate around obstacles, "no's", failures, roadblocks, closed doors, lack of experience -- these experiences will MOTIVATE me to find something new, and build my foundation of strength. Life is good (even if it's bad at this moment), because I'm building it to become what I want. I trust everything I need and want is on the way -- and when it comes rushing towards me, I will welcome it."

Feel happier, right now!

The word "gratitude" is a bit syrupy and sugary, isn't it? Sort of like smiling for no reason, it can feel forced. Try this exercise as an alternative way to get a nice happy buzz of happiness: 1) What is something good you have in your life? 2) What if that good thing never happened? (Imagine that you missed out on meeting your significant other, or you didn't get into college, or you never got the job you have now, etc.) When I picture my life without say, having a house to grow up in, or without having my parents in my life, or without meeting my husband, or never having met great friends, or having things go down a horrible path, it makes me feel SAD initially, but then I'm overwhelmed with feeling GRATEFUL. Sometimes you don't realize what you have until you lose it -- how about you imagine losing it, so you can appreciate it, now. It's funny how you almost have to carve out a negative space in which to fill it with something positive. Letting sadnes

http://thoughtcatalog.com/christopher-hudspeth/2014/04/18-ugly-truths-about-modern-dating-that-you-have-to-deal-with/ My response to this article above. Read the link first, and then my response. I was moved by this article because these are frustrations which are SO common, and I know a lot of people feel this way. Over the years, some of my clients have expressed these same concerns.

Read on.  1. If someone is not that interested in you, it’s going to hurt your feelings. Get out of there fast. Love isn’t about power. If there are power games, get out of there, and get into something functional, where you are adored and admir

When you're dating...how to avoid sociopaths

To my daters... One in 25 people is a sociopath. So that charming person you're sitting across from at dinner? They may be missing an important part of their brain -- literally. Sociopaths lack a portion of their brain which is responsibly for producing feelings of guilt -- they are physically disabled , and this is not treatable. This enables them to do harm to others and feel no remorse. It all comes down to capabilities, ambition, and what the sociopath wants out of life -- some sociopaths might steal a friend's $20, or lie about something small, while others are CEOs who steal millions of people's money. One sociopath might delight in quietly bullying others at work, just to watch people become upset. While another sociopath may be violent and kill people or animals without a second thought. Scary. It's all shades of gray, but the central idea is that sociopaths don't feel remorse. They can kill your dog, or steal your spouse, or lie to your face -- and sleep s
