Keeping Fit And Healthy With Pilates Yoga

Joseph Pilates, a German immigrant, developed the famous and highly popular Pilates exercise program, designed to get you fit without the bulky muscle of the Mr. America type. He spent many years, beginning as an adolescent, studying various body disciplines in his search for a program of exercises to promote health and fitness with a lean look and a graceful demeanor. Among the disciplines he studied was yoga, which he integrated into his method. Developed in the late 1920's, Pilates yoga today is a well respected and wildly popular form of this ancient art and body discipline.

Although Joseph Pilates did not achieve fame in his lifetime, his work was practiced and carried on by a small group of devotees to his methods, for decades, before the recent explosion of Pilates exercise programs and Pilates yoga. Today, Pilates' form of yoga is at the forefront of exercise and self discipline regimes. Pilates yoga is especially popular with dancers and athletes, as well as celebrities who've caught on to the superior benefits of Pilates' methodology.

Pilates yoga requires an instructor to have expertise in human anatomy and movement, physiology and the principles of yoga. In order to evaluate the knowledge and integrity of the yoga instructor, several yoga organizations offer online information on choosing a qualified yoga instructor. There are even certification programs which require months or even years of study.

If you choose to pursue a Pilates oriented yoga program, you'll want a well qualified person as your instructor. Be aware that some “certified” instructors may have as little as a day's or one weekend's training. In order to gain maximum benefit of a Pilates yoga class, look for a teacher with at least the minimum certification of 250 hours of training. An instructor with a 500 hour training certification will likely prove a good choice.

With the current popularity of the Pilates programs, you need to be careful in choosing an instructor, as certification programs are not standardized and vary widely in both standards and depth of training a certification may represent. So how do you make an intelligent assessment of your Pilates yoga instructor?

The Pilates Method Alliance (pilates method alliance on the web) has a database allowing you to search for qualified Pilates instructors in your locale. In addition, they give you a run down on the profile and standards of a qualified instructor, as well as tips on interviewing your potential instructor.

Another resource is the non-profit Yoga Alliance group (yoga alliance on the web), dedicated to serving the yoga community with resources and their own searchable database of Pilates yoga instructors meeting their strict standards of qualifications.

If the Pilates yoga program holds an appeal for you, invest a little time in finding the right instructor and you'll soon be on your way to that fit, lean body you always wanted.

Adult ADD | How To Streamline An ADD Day

Last time, we talked about attention deficit and boredom, and how much doing boring things affects people with ADD. Part of the path toward correcting that problem is deciding what you did in a day, and categorizing those things, so that you can eliminate boredom effectively. But you may wonder, What are those categories?

Everyone should look at two general categories: Personal and Business. If you feel an ADD need to argue with yourself over certain things you do and how exact your categories can be, don't do that right away. Put what you do into four general categories, and mold and shape them as it makes sense to you.

The first general category is household/personal. This would be anything that you’re doing, like feeding the dog, cleaning the toilets, doing the laundry, taking care of the kids, riding back and forth to school—or whatever it is that you have to do that’s outside of work.

The second general category is business, but there are three sub-categories that you need to look at.

Number one is ”Administrative.” The administrative category would include answering the telephones, writing letters, managing people, meeting with contractors. It might be all those kinds of things that basically keep the business running. You could include accounting or bill paying, things that people with ADD are prone to hate, and that kind of thing, too.

The second category in business is a category called “Production.” The raw definition of production is anything that you do in your business that relates to the creation or delivery of your product or service.

This category is generally very exciting and things that people with attention deficit like to do. It's a delivery of a service that we promise to provide. It’s a production task. It would include bringing a product to fruition, that brings out our ADD creativity. But for boring things like getting the phone lines for a teleseminar, and recordings, and all those things set up. Stuff ADD people usually hate. Those are all production tasks.

The last category in business is “Sales and Marketing.” Even though sales and marketing are tactically two different areas, they both have to do with customers. Marketing in its raw form is the act of bringing customers to you and getting them interested. Sales is the act of building the relationship and making the sale. It's like the game part of business that people with attention deficit generally enjoy.

Write everything you do down for a full week. Then, once you understand and analyze the basic categories, look at your list of tasks, and ask yourself, “Where am I spending my time? Am I spending all my time doing boring things?” If you are and have ADD, you’re probably feeling stuck. People with attention deficit just don't like to be bored, period. You’re probably feeling frustrated and unmotivated.

What can you do when you know that you have boring tasks?

You need to start outsourcing and delegating them, one at a time, to other people.

However, when you absolutely have to do the boring tasks—when you’ve got to do the dishes, take out the garbage, or some kind of accounting, what can you do?

One thing is to never allow your ADD procrastination tendencies talk yourself out of outsourcing something. Talk to at least five people about how much it’s actually going to cost you, and you'll probably find that it's much more affordable than you expected.

Many people with ADD resist what we’re talking about, saying, “I can’t afford to do this.” We’ve said this before and we’ll continue to say it. That is, it costs you twice as much in time, money and frustration to try to do it yourself. It’s not worth it. Have you actually figured how much your time is worth?

Use your ADD to focus here. How much do you need? Decide an actual figure. Write it down. How much do you need each month? How much each week? Each day? Each hour? Then, come up with a plan to make that much money.

The other thing is when you start to write these categories down, and start to think about what you might outsource, it’s not an all-or-nothing thing. It’s not like you’re going to bring on someone full time and carry the cost burden of that. It might be a one-hour job.

You need to figure out what mundane boring things you're doing every day that make you fall into ADD procrastination and frustration. Then, you need to hire people without attention deficit to do them. Decide what's more important... your money or your time, and remember, you can always replace the money.

Gifts That Grow? Maybe So!

In today's fast paced world most of us have become accustom to 'instant everything'. Don’t want to wait for your favorite song to be played on the radio? Just download the tune on your iPod and play it the moment you wish to hear it. Don’t want to wait for dinner to cook? Just run down to your favorite fast food restaurant and pick up a quick meal. Our 'immediate gratification' culture has produced stress, obesity, selfishness, and over-indulgence amongst everyone from children and senior citizens. Our 'got to have it now' philosophy has made gift giving progressively more difficult because most of our friends and relatives already have most everything they ever wanted.

As most wise sages will tell you, the end of the journey is not where the adventure lies, but it is the journey itself that reveals life’s miracles. Make your next gift to someone you care about a process instead of an event by giving a gift that grows. Caring for a growing thing fosters patience, persistence, and pride, three qualities that all of us need in our lives.

Gifts that grow come in two basic categories, plants, and animals. Plants tend to be a bit easier to keep alive than animals, so it may be best to begin by giving vegetation to someone who has no experience with raising things. Houseplants and Chia Pets are the first things that come to mind when one thinks about a gift of greenery, and these are fine selections, but there is a broader range of gifts in this category than one might first consider.

An ornamental tree or shrub is almost always appreciated by a new homeowner, an avid gardener, or a senior citizen who likes the feel of earth on their skin. Ornamental trees come in all sizes from 3-4 foot tall, to large shade-producing varieties. Some flower and bear fruit, while others attract birds and butterflies.

Topiary (a sculptured tree or shrub) is an elegant gift for those with refined tastes, or for the creative types on your gift list who will enjoy manicuring and shaping their piece of 'growing art'. A Japanese bonsai (miniaturized trees grown as a container plant) or a Chinese penjing (a tray landscape) is a unique gift that can be enjoyed indoors or as a patio accent.

Not to short change Chia pets and houseplants, these too are great gifts for the young and the not-so-young alike. The Chia herb garden is a thoughtful gift for the cooks you know, and what child won’t marvel at a rapidly growing Chia Pet? Cat owners experience endless hours of fun watching their kitties wallow in the cat grass Chia. Corn plants are also great fun to raise because they are almost impossible to kill, do well in any environment, and grow steadily to heights of 10 feet or more. Folks with 'brown thumbs' will feel like genuine horticulturalists as their corn plant flourish.

Once a person is adept at raising plants, shrubs, or Chias without causing them undue harm or suffering, it may be time to progress on to the animal kingdom. Fish, hamsters, gerbils, guinea pigs, birds, bunnies, lizards, kittens, and pups all provide companionship and ongoing entertainment. It would be considered irresponsible to burden anyone with a pet without first asking if they want one, so do not overlook that little detail before making a pet purchase! Kids always want pets so be sure to get their parents blessing before picking up a pooch.

Instead of selecting a pet for the gift recipient, the giver may want to give a pet shop gift certificate, or take the person along to select the pet of his/her choice. Deciding who you want to live with is a very personal choice, and a pet is an additional family member.

A growing gift is better than anything made of plastic, or metal, or cloth, because a growing gift is made of spirit, and feeling, and fun.

What Most Horseshoes Don't Protect. And What You Need To Do After Every Ride.

The horseshoe is a wonderful invention. It protects your horse's feet by putting a half inch of steel between his delicate hoof and the hard ground.

The problem with horseshoes is they only encircle the perimeter of the hoof, leaving the inner portion of exposed. So if your horse steps on a sharp object, he could easily damage his foot. If left untreated, your horse could go lame. And unrideable. To avoid this problem, here are some things you should do…

You need to check your horse's hooves after every ride. And one of the things you want to check for is a bruised sole.

Bruised soles are a common cause of lameness in horses. 9 times out of 10, a sharp stone is the culprit. Remember, your horse probably weighs around 1/2 a ton, so when he puts his full body weight on a sharp object he can't see, the result isn't pretty.

So if you've just finished your trail ride and find your horse has a bruised hoof, what do you do?

First, you need to assess how serious the bruise is. If your horse can support his own weight and yours too without flinching, it's probably nothing to worry about. But if your horse is noticeably gimpy, even without you on his back, you need to do a little triage and figure out how bad the injury really is.

If the bruise is in your horse's heel, it may just be a corn (yes, horses get corns too). If this is the case, your farrier will try to cut the corn out. Depending on how painful the area is for your horse, the farrier might make a special horseshoe called a heart bar horseshoe.

This special shoe is made to support the coffin bone by placing a metal tongue under the frog. And If your horse is naturally thin-soled, he may even install a leather pad under the shoe. Heart bar horseshoes work very well. I've seen this kind of shoe relieve a horse's corn pain very effectively.

But if your horse doesn't have any corns, yet he's still displays signs of being in pain, the problem may be a bit more serious. Your farrier will probably want to remove the steel shoe and give your horse a more thorough examination.

Expect the farrier to touch your horse's hooves to see if they feel abnormally hot. If they are, it usually means your horse has an abscess - an infection of the hoof. If this is the case, either he or an equine veterinarian may treat the hoof abscess by paring it out and then poulticing it.

Now, having said that, I've worked with some farriers who sometimes choose to let the abscess grow out to a point where he can just cut it off or filed off. I always take the farrier's advice when it comes to abscesses - they've seen more hooves than I'll ever see!

I'll cover paring and poulticing soon. But for now, what I want you to take away from this tip is hoof injuries are not to be taken lightly.

You'll be able to tell if your horse was "off" during your ride. If so, spend a little extra time examining his hooves as you pick and clean them. If they're bruised or feel hot, it's time to call in your farrier for some professional advice.

That's all for now.

Yours for Better Horse Health

You Can Make A Change In A Day

As someone who has recently completed training in an NLP course, Hertfordshire, at master practitioner level, I wanted to share with you my experience of giving and receiving a Turning Point Session TM. NLP differs from most other therapies, in the sense that it claims to get results quickly, by focusing on the here and now, rather then taking a long time looking at the persons past and why they feel as they do.

How refreshing, but does it really work? When I first signed up to take part in an NLP course, Hertfordshire, with people building, I was aware that at master practitioner level, I was going to be expected to undergo and be able to give a Turning Point Session. Having experience of giving other therapies such as CBT and having worked as an NHS therapist, I was dubious that change can be achieved so quickly and also I felt uncomfortable about the amount NLP therapists charge their clients for these sessions.

What I found from first hand experience, having trained in an NLP course, in Hertfordshire, was very surprising to me. I now believe it is possible to achieve global change in one day and also the investment of the therapist’s time, energy and emotion warrants the investment the client makes financially in the session. Turning Points TM can achieve much more quickly what psychotherapy would take years to.

How is global change achieved in a day? - The idea of such a session is that you work with the client intensely for up to six hours in one day, in order to achieve global change. What this means is that you are not just working on fixing discrete problems, such as a relationship issue, a limiting belief or a negative anchor. Rather, you grill, and I mean grill, the client, using NLP linguistic tools, in order to get to whatever it is (usually a significant emotional event) that is shaping and driving how they live and experience their life today. After dealing with the big driving emotional event, you are able to wipe out the gestalt of emotional events the person is hanging onto and then literally mop up whatever challenges the person is still facing, with the most appropriate NLP techniques.

People Building offers an NLP, course, in Hertfordshire, where you will learn to give and receive Turning Point sessions. As a therapist, the idea of sending a client on their way, knowing that you have had the time to deal with all their challenges is about as rewarding as it gets. If you are interested in an NLP, course, in Hertfordshire please go visit our website.

Three Optimal Ways To Treat Sensitive Skin

Sensitive skin demands more attention to its care routine than does normal skin. They require skin care products with fewer chemicals, fewer additives, fewer preservatives, and less fragrance. Use of these kinds of products can lower the skin's risk of irritation and allergic reaction. Although it is not always practical to use only natural ingredients for fear of a breakout, it is possible to enjoy a plethora of skin care products while still reducing the risk of suffering irritation or a bad reaction.

Keep in mind that in addition to skin care products, there are several foods and other items that can trigger negative skin reactions. Following are suggestions to avoid these problems:
  • Wash your face and hands after coming in contact with irritating materials such as pollen or perfume.

  • Keep your home and workplace dust-free.

  • Avoid wearing wool and other synthetic fabrics: instead choose cotton garments.
Here are three ways of dealing with sensitive skin:

1. Utilize the dilution method. Eliminating contact with ordinary products is very difficult, if not nearly impossible. However, you can use the dilution method to weaken the effects of harmful dyes and chemicals contained in these products. Following are some suggestions:
  • Dilute your shampoo with equal amounts water.

  • Use half your normal amount of shampoo with one tablespoon of baking soda added to rinse off waxy buildup left by hair conditioners.

  • Adding baking soda to unstained laundry can reduce the needed amount of detergent by up to fifty percent.
2. Treat your skin as gently as you would treat a baby's. Like a baby's skin, sensitive skins need the both the most plain products as well as those that offer maximum protection against irritation.

3. As much as possible, try wearing clothes that are made of natural fabrics. People with sensitive skin are more likely to get an allergic reaction to some fabrics. The major culprits are the dyes and formaldehyde that are in the fabric. Here are some tips to avoid this problem:
  • Those who suffer dye allergies should avoid clothes made from spandex, nylon, polyester, or acrylic.

  • Avoid wearing tight or fitted clothing.

  • Wash new clothes a minimum of two times prior to wear.

Save Money Save Time Save Gas Save Pollution By Using A Shopping Mall

Yes you can save money because the goods for sale in an online shopping mall are normally a lot cheaper than in a physical shopping mall, you will also save time as you do not have to travel from one shop to another carrying heavy shopping bags as the online mall has all the products in the one place, and you do not have to wait at a busy checkout.

You can save gas because you do not have to drive to the mall to do your shopping nor do you have to spend time looking for a parking spot. Also as you are not burning gas you are in fact lowering the amount of pollution in the atmosphere and helping with the war on global warming, and as you are not driving to and from a shopping mall you save even more money.

You do not have to wait for sales at the shopping mall as prices in the online shopping mall are a lot lower on just about every product.

You can browse as much and as long as you feel like without being followed around the store by sales people, you can decide if you want to buy at your own pace .

Just bookmark the page and return to it as many times as you like in order to make up your mind or even show friends or family to get their opinion before you decide to purchase an item.

There is a huge range of products for you to browse, if you can think of something it is most likely to be at the shopping mall.

So don’t get the car out and drive for perhaps thirty minutes in heavy traffic, try to find a parking spot within walking range of a shopping mall and then go from store to store carrying your purchases and then waiting for up to twenty minutes at a busy checkout, then driving home again in heavy traffic and carrying your purchase into the house.

Just turn on your computer and browse at your leisure while having a cup of coffee and order the products you want and have them delivered to your door , from the shopping mall.

Now that’s what I call shopping.

A Quick Outline On Various Disability Laws

Differentiating people on the basis of disability is a crime. Still, many people do not refrain from committing such atrocities every now and then. A daily newspaper is a real proof to this. Every day at least one such incidence is reported.

To safeguard the rights of disabled, certain laws have been formulated and acts have been devised by the American government. Under the umbrella of law, they have been given a considerable amount of protection.

In America, the disability law is regulated by the American with Disability Act (ADA). The provisions of this Act prohibits discrimination against people or individuals with any kind of disabilities. It protects them to face disabilities everywhere, be it office, home, educational institute or a public utility place.

Under the American Disability Act, disability is defined as a physical or mental impairment, which limits substantially some or all the major important activities of an individual.

Under this act, alcoholism is included as a type of disability. But the other undesirable social behaviors are excluded from being a part of this Act. For instance, various disorders in one's sexual behavior like pedophilia, compulsive gambling, transvestism, and pyromania are excluded. But ADA does not however lists all impairments under it.

Further, ADA aims for reasonable and equal accommodation for all the disabled without any biases. The departments and agencies that can enforce the provisions under ADA are the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and Department of Justice. Apart from them, the state can pass the disability statutes. The statutes that prohibit discrimination against people with disabilities include Fair Housing Act, Individual with Disabilities Education Act, Rehabilitation Act and Air Carrier Access Act.

It is considered unlawful to discriminate any body on the aspect of denying the selling, renting or even accommodating a house, just because of an individual who is suffering from any kind of disability. This is all covered under the Fair Housing Act.

Under the Rehabilitation Act, there is prohibition of discrimination on the basis of the programs that are conducted by the Federal agencies of the States. The air carriers are prohibited to discriminate against people having any kind of disability, under the Air Carrier Access Act. Last but never the least, the Disabilities Education Act asks the various public schools, free public education to the children who are disabled but still eligible to get such kinds of education.

The Art Of Creating Powerful Intentions

Intentions are indeed very powerful if they are created in the right way. There are a few basic rules you will want to understand, otherwise your intentions may simply evaporate, or even backfire. By backfire, I mean they create just the opposite of what you wanted.

The Purpose of Making Intentions

We use intention to guide our attention in a new direction, in order to create a new or different reality. For example, maybe you’d like to change your job. Most people would start with the intent to have a better job, as the old one doesn’t satisfy anymore. However, trouble may be brewing here already…

If you move on from something you don’t like, to something you prefer, you may deny your current situation. In order to make successful intentions, it is important to deal with the current situation first, and do some analytical thinking about it.

Understand that you created this situation, so don’t blame anybody else for it. Take full responsibility, and understand that you are the only person responsible for the current circumstances.

Do away with any judgments of your current situation, until you can see it from a neutral perspective. There was a point in your life when it was the perfect decision. Don’t compare the now with the past, as you have since had new experiences and gained a different viewpoint.

This is a common mistake in thinking; it is like a loophole in the mind. You jump from one time-line into another time-line, and then compare them. This leads to false conclusions. Besides that, leave the past; don’t reinvent it.

Evaluate Your Current Situation

If you look at your current situation without judgments, you empower yourself. Only from a neutral standpoint can you make a powerful new decision. This new decision will be based on deliberate intent instead of reaction to circumstances. This is where choice and free will comes in.

Now, at the point of being neutral, you can ask yourself the following questions:

* What do I like about my current job?
* What do I want to improve in my next job?
* What would be the perfect job for me?
* What would I like to feel from my next job?
* What am I good at?
* In which areas is this job supporting me to live my full potential?

Write down the answers to these questions, and start to craft a few full sentences out from your answers. Include all the positive points. Make these sentences as precise as possible.

It could read like this: “My next job is exciting; it flows with me, makes me happy, and I am able to learn and grow with it.

When you are done, read it out loud. If you have trouble saying the sentence, or even memorizing it, then it is not ready. Simply take a few moments and refine it.

Overcoming Pitfalls when Creating Intentions

Intentions are formed in your conscious mind; however, it’s your subconscious that receives these commands and creates the necessary opportunities in your life. In other words, your conscious mind deciding on this new opportunity creates a new reality.

* Use only positive words
* Include a time frame
* Remove negations
* Be precise

Here is a simple test. Don’t think about a blue elephant! What happened? You thought about the blue elephant, you may even imagined it. The subconscious does not work analytically; it cannot understand words like ‘don’t’ or ‘not.’ It works mostly in images, sounds, and smells.

You want to avoid use of any negative words in your intentions. Always formulate your intentions in such a way that they reflect the outcome of what you’d like to create.

Example of how not to do it:

- I don’t want to have so much responsibility.

Better Example:

- In my new job I feel comfortable with my responsibility.

Including a Time Frame:

There is a difference between creating in your own universe or in the physical world. When you create inside yourself there is no time involved - your consciousness is timeless!

For example, if you’d like to change your attitude toward your boss, you don’t need to set a time frame. You can simply create the intention: “I appreciate my boss,” or, “I value my boss’ viewpoints and beliefs.” It will work instantly if there is no other belief or intention in its way.

When you deal with the physical world, setting a time frame becomes important. The physical world works within time and space. If you build a new house, first you have a plan, and then you move dirt, assemble wood, install plumbing, and move furniture, until the house is complete. It takes time and effort.

So if you make your intention but you leave out the time frame - your intention becomes doubtful. Example: “I am working in my dream job.” Well, you would say right away – I’m not. It sounds more like an affirmation than an intention. Include the time frame, and this example turns into: “6 months from now I am working in my dream job.”

Pay attention to any reactions you have when you formulate your intention. Your mind may interfere and tell you: “No way, I will never get this,” or “this is impossible.” If you encounter these instant judgments, formulate your intentions differently, so that they feel more do-able. Sometimes you may want to break a big intention into smaller pieces.

For example: “In 2 weeks I am a Millionaire” is an intention that may not work for most people. However, an intention like: “Every day I have more money to spend” may bring you there.

New Years Intentions Vs. Birthday Intentions
Many people make new year’s resolutions on first night, which is a good thing. However, making them on your birthday is more efficient.

Why is this? A new year is an artificial point of time, it just means that one year passed, and is not related to you in any way – it’s impersonal. If you make your new year’s resolution on your birthday, it is personal, because on this specific day the sun is in the same position as it was when you were born. Astrologers call this point a sun-sun conjunction. It is a very powerful point in time, as a new individual cycle for you starts.

What Are Horoscopes Based On?

If you do not know much about astrology, you may wonder what are horoscopes based on and how astrologers are able to know so much about your personality. There are many different varieties of astrology all over the world and even Western astrology has many different methods. Mundane astrology is used to predict events that affect a large group of people such as a country or the entire world. Although there are different types of astrology, as an individual, when most people think of a horoscope, they are thinking of Natal astrology.

Natal astrology may work a couple of ways. You can open up almost any newspaper and find your horoscope for the day. This is based purely on your zodiac sign. Your zodiac sign is determined by what constellation the sun was in on the day you were born. We all know the Earth revolves around the sun and as it does, it seems like the sun moves across this celestial sphere. Astrologers and astronomers both used the celestial sphere to determine astronomical measurements such as constellations. The path the sun follows is known as the ecliptic. So, when you check to see your sign based on your birthday, you know that the sun was in that constellation at the time of your birth.

The horoscopes you read in newspapers and magazines are not nearly as accurate as having an individual reading by an astrologer. A horoscope reading that is based on the exact day and time of your birth as well as your birth city is much more personalized. Once the astrologer has your birth information, he or she will convert your information into Greenwich Mean Time then consult a table, the ephemeris, to see the location of the planets, Sun, and Moon during your time of birth. A house of tables is used to divide the horoscope into twelve divisions, one for each sign of the zodiac.

As the astrologer plots the information on your chart, your horoscope begins to make a little more sense. Each sign of the zodiac has a different type of energy. Depending on things like your rising sign and the position of the planets, Moon, and Sun as well as the degree to which your sign falls into that particular house, your horoscope can tell you many things about yourself.

A well-written horoscope birth chart will tell you both positive and negative aspects about yourself. You may find that you are a very sociable person, but very jealous in relationships. A horoscope should be used to help you appreciate the positive aspects of your personality as well as focus correcting the negative aspects if possible. Sometimes it takes something like a horoscope to point out any problems you may have.

If you cannot visit an astrologer, you can get a personalize horoscope reading online. Be sure to double check the exact time of birth with your birth certificate if possible before plotting your birth chart horoscope. Many websites will charge you to get your full birth chart analysis, but you can get a free sample at places like Astrology.com, Astro Star Charts, and Astrolabe.

Let Purpose Be Your Guide

We live in a “should” culture. We bow to the “shoulds,” pay homage to the “ought tos” and enslave ourselves to the “have tos.”

We listen to the wrong voices. And by doing so, we neglect the voice of our life purpose – the voice that really has something to say – something exhilarating, passionate and expansive. At the beginning of this new year, I urge you to listen to your voice of purpose. I encourage you to understand its power, and recognize that your purpose is the best guide. When people and circumstances swirl around you like autumn leaves in a strong wind, your purpose is your internally grounded constant compass. If you listen to its direction, it will show you exactly where to go.

Despite the power inherent in living our purpose, there’s a cultural message telling us it’s optional. Not true. If you choose to live without purpose, you’ll probably be dissatisfied, if not miserable. Your life will feel off kilter and you’ll live according to shoulds, ought tos and have tos. This is your choice.

But to imbue life with any meaning, joy or satisfaction, you must live with purpose. Yet why do some of us perceive that purpose is optional? Consider the following erroneous beliefs:

-Focusing on life’s purpose, or on yourself, is selfish or a luxury.
-You are supposed to get a good job with benefits and stay in it (even if it kills your spirit) until you retire.
-If you try to identify your purpose, you won’t find it.
-If you do find it, your life will drastically and painfully change.
-The landscape of known pain seems an easier journey than the territory of the unknown.

Honor yourself by learning your purpose. Reconnect to passion, notice what excites you and energizes you. Get rid of those things, people or places that drain your energy. Stop tolerating. Stop settling for less than what you deserve. Clear a path for purpose.

As you fully engage in the “want tos” in your life, pieces of the purpose puzzle will start falling into place. Purpose often reveals itself quietly – you probably won’t be struck by a lightening bolt. Your purpose may assume a singular form, or it may be multi-faceted. Its shape is its shape and it’s the reason you’re here.

Use this year to uncover your purpose and embrace it with a vengeance. Break out of the “have to” box, bust open that bag of “want tos” and listen to your voice of purpose. You’ll be glad you did – and so will the rest of us!
