Too many times we judge and blame ourselves or others rather than seek to understand why we or they think or behave in certain ways. Judging and blaming keeps us stuck and does not allow us to progress in a positive direction. It just keeps us going around in vicious circles. A lack of understanding in our life creates anger, frustration, heartache, stress, anxiety and negative experiences. If you take the time to understand yourself and others it will improve the quality of your life. This understanding allows us to become more aware of why we and others think and behave in the manner that we do and provides us with an opportunity to adjust our thoughts and behaviours as required. For instance, we all have personalities that will influence our thoughts and behaviours. My personality style is Stable/Steady. Approximately 65% of the population falls into this category of personality. The greatest fear of a Stable/Steady personality type is loss of security and one of their weakne...

Success holds many different meanings to people. To some it’s equal with being famous and earning lots of money. To others it means helping out others to improve social conditions, achieving excellence in a particular area of life/ career or simply creating something that gives you that warm fuzzy feeling and wells up a beaming smile from cheek to cheek Yet no matter what peoples personal ambition is, there’s a common reason in the traits possessed by all successful individuals. Firstly, they have a dream. Secondly, they believe in themselves. And finally, they’re prepared to work and stick with it when the going gets tough. A theme that keeps repeating itself in successful peoples thinking is the importance of being able to learn from their mistakes. In fact, what separates the winner from the person who also ran in the race, is the achiever’s ability to get up again and again and keep heading for that goal – despite failures and setbacks along the way. Think of a person you believ...

I was adding to our Click A Life Coach - Forum and updating my goals for 2008 when I found myself being hit hard by my own revelation. This year is already flying by and I have found on more than one occasion that I am getting slightly overwhelmed by everything that I have to do. Taking the viewpoint that we are responsible for our own situation, I realised that I have created this mayhem. Taking some much needed time out over the Easter long weekend has made me recognise that I’ve bitten off more than I can chew (sorry for the cheesy cliche). I used to think that if someone needed my help then I had better give it to them (after all, it makes me feel good about myself too). And there’s nothing wrong with this belief system at all (if only there were more helpful people in the world!) The danger comes though from being too helpful. Yes it sounds crazy – but this can occur in two ways:   Saying ‘yes’ to everything that is asked of you Seeking out actions and volunte...

Spirit Guides are people who have passed over into the next life. They have reached a high spiritual level where they are, but still retain an interest in what is going on in the world. They are not like guardian angels who protect us, but are there to help and guide us when we ask for advice. Guides are principally concerned with our spiritual growth and are prepared to help us with it. However, as they want us to be independent and stand on our own two feet, they discourage us from asking for help every time we have a small problem. They prefer to act as mentors, older and wiser, who have already learned the lessons we are so painfully trying to master. Your guides do not offer advice unless you ask for it. That is why some people go through their entire lives without ever realizing that they have spirit guides. Often they have never heard of them, let alone learned how to ask their guides for help. However, even in these cases, their spirit guides will do all they can to help thes...

Is it just me or are there pregnant ladies everywhere? In the city, shopping malls, crossing the street, at cafes even at the swimming pool? This is wonderful to see new life beginning and the ladies displaying their beautiful bellies. Even the clothes they wear are flattering, no longer are they wearing granny tops that look like tents, these soon-to-be mums, have hit the fashion stakes and look fit and healthy. Even the clothes stores have more choices now catering for such Romanesque women. It’s a mine field, and naturally then come the baby clothes and baby things. Don’t get me started on that! Can this be an indicator that the economy is doing well and people are realizing their dreams to have a family because the indicators are there? Steady employment, the mining boom, consumer confidence is high. Life seems to giving us these signals that new life is now welcomed, and thus the abundance. We live in a great city, Sydney has so much to offer those seeking, balance, variety, car...

When you are in a state of flow, everything just happens, your path is as clear as day as you navigate yourself to the ultimate goal. Life becomes simplified and a joy in everyway. Then you maybe tested with an unforeseen obstacle. You hesitate as you ponder what this really means and wonder if your momentum is compromised. By the time you assess the situation you find yourself in a limbo state, then the negative thoughts take over like a fever and your mind is confused as you ramble to make sense of it all. Obstacles mean we are moving towards what we want, so see them as what they are: as obstacles to overcome and this will re-establish your momentum and your energy flow. Flow is still there you just recognized a bump on the road; this doesn’t stop your flow it just makes you realize that you need to keep going and soon enough others will come to you as you radiate this energy. Like attracts like so you cannot help but receive those resources that will assist you get there. Just ens...

Are you having trouble balancing your life? This is a common challenge that most people encounter and find difficult to resolve. I hope that this article assists you in taking some steps to improve the balance in your life. The 3 important questions that I ask my clients when they want a solution to creating more balance in their life are: 1. Do you value your time? 2. Can you be disciplined? 3. Are you willing to change habits? What are some causes for us getting out of balance?   Dealing with the urgent and not the important. Being disorganised. Procrastination. Too much time spent on the phone or computer. Watching too much television. Changes in family roles. Belief systems. Deterioration of boundaries between work and home. Disease to please. Can’t say “NO”. Inabil...

Astral projection can be simply described as the ability to leave the physical body. The spirit or the astral body (same thing- 2 names) leaves the physical body and moves into another dimension known as the spirit world or astral plane. Your spirit or astral body remains attached to the physical body through a silver umbilical type cord (etheric cord) and some people have the ability to actually see this cord. The etheric cord has been with you since the time you entered the physical body for the very first time. It CANNOT be cut or severed until you leave this plane for the very last time. It connects to our bodies when we astral travel so that we may come back into our body when we wake up. It happens when the physical body is asleep and the subconscious mind takes over. The subconscious mind contains the spirit or the astral body and often results in falling dreams or waking up with a falling sensation or sudden jerk. Normally this is when you wake up when your spirit is either ent...

It is interesting to see that many people are just waiting, waiting for their lives to begin, to feel complete, to be happy, they are in a queue and their number isn’t up yet. Do you get this feeling sometimes? It is like those who buy a lotto ticket, thinking that they deserve to win, and yet week after week they are still at the mercy of the lotto draw. With waiting comes the anticipation that once they have ‘it’ then life can truly begin, I often hear, ‘when I have a new career I will feel happier about my direction’ or ‘when I have my soul mate I will feel complete’. What are these people waiting for? An opportunity, an external power to come into their lives to make it better, a fix, a solution. They wait and expectations get higher as the time keeps on ticking. If you haven’t achieved those goals in 2007, well then begin afresh in 2008. Also explore the reasons why you haven’t achieved them, are they always the same goals? Do you find yourself indulging in sabotage behaviours ...
