Our Basic Needs get to be satisfied

Throughout our lives we have various requirements that must be met. These are our needs and desires, which range from basic physical needs to selfless desire. When any of these are not met, negative physical, mental, and emotional complications and addictions can result, sometimes with distressful consequences. This post is about needs. A need is an explicit requirement, like feeling hungry…

Crank up your Creativity

Creativity is a quality that we all have buried inside of us, one way or the other. It involves the invention of something new or the re-invention of something already existing to make it useful or interesting. Some people’s creative abilities are closer to the surface and one can easily see the manifestations of them. People say that their creativity is “inborn”. For others, expressing…

Feminine and Masculine characters - are you playing?

This may be an Unpopular opinion but Femininity cannot be taught. At least not in the way I see most people thinking it can. It’s not wearing flowing dresses. It’s not wearing long flowy hair. It’s not wearing makeup. It’s not a certain way of speaking. It’s not bigger boobs. It’s not bowing down to all the men. Anyone teaching this stuff is teaching you how to play a character. And…

Triumphing over Mediocrity

Are you tired of the same old existence? Do you want more out of life than what life seems to be handing you? You can rise above mediocrity but you must first change your mindset. To begin, you must have a keen desire for change in your life. You must know what you want, even if you don’t yet know how to get it. Be definitive in your desire. If you only had a short time to live, what would…

Create your Hearts Desire

There is a polarity in everything in life…. happy and sad, rich and poor, fat and thin. It is the contrast and the differences between things that can really help us clarify what we want in life. When it comes to creating your life there is the having and the “not” having. In order to create what you want in your life you need to focus on what you want, in other words “the having”. If you…

I know those feelings

The woman you see before you today is not the woman she used to be. I never would have done the things I do or said the things I say. Yet here I am. I know those thoughts of I can’t do it That fast beating heart The small constricted breaths Feeling weak in the knees The negative self talk I get it I’ve felt it I’ve experienced anxiety too It’s not often I come across someone who…

Wasting time or is it?

My husband told me that since I became a Glamma I have had a very short, sharp tongue when it comes to time wasting. And he made me realise he’s right. Yet when my granddaughter is in my vicinity I could ‘waste’ all the time in the world just watching her. And I think to myself it’s because babies are our biggest signs of how quickly time moves, whether we want it to or not. I’ve often been…

My favourite 10 Traits of Highly Successful People

These are the people who inspire me! I’ve studied them, and I’ve noticed they have the following traits in common: They work hard! Yet, they play hard, too! They get up early, they rarely complain, they expect performance from others, but they expect extraordinary performance from themselves. Repeated, high-level success starts with a recognition that hard work pays off. They are incredibly…

The Time For Me is Now

This trip has had me in all the feels and I have been trying to figure out why? Its not the first time I’ve gone away solo so that’s not it. Its not even the first time I’ve been to this country so that’s not it. Then I started thinking about how normally when I go away for this period of time it has some kind of volunteer aspect to it. Normally I’m volunteering in environmental or animal…

Know the Secret of Goal Setting

When asking the majority of people before a contest, whether it be a rugby match or a spelling bee, what they want, they will inevitably say, “I want to WIN.” Who doesn’t? I have yet to meet anyone who competes that says they don’t care if they win as long as they have fun. Note I said someone who competes. I don’t, and have never, like competitions. I quit ballet when my teacher asked me to…

Why Are You Keeping All the Clutter?

You know what the real problem is with getting organized? We have too much stuff!  I’m willing to bet you have some things you (or someone you live with) keep without having a good enough reason. I know I have a few drawers and hiding holes in my whare! I even still have a bag of letters from my friends in high school! And I’m 40! So why DO we keep so much stuff? The thing is, it’s easier to…

Stress relief with Meditation

Meditation is a form of alternative medicine that promotes relaxing and mental calmness through the use of controlling or suspending thoughts for a certain period of time. Since meditation involves physical and mental relaxation, it’s a great way to relieve stress. When some people hear about meditation as a way to relieve stress, they laugh and think it’s a bunch of baloney. They think that…

Where Does Our Time Go?

Time management is a big concern for a lot of people. I keep hearing, “There are just not enough hours in the day…” or “Where does my time go?” Face it we all live busy lives. Work, family, and other commitments keep us all hopping. To utilize better time management, it’s important to recognize what the specific problems are. Is it not having enough time for you or your family? Maybe you are…

Watch the people around you grow

The place where things go wrong is when you assume the absolute of who a person is. It gives them no room to grow. It gives them no room to make mistakes. It gives them no room to make different choices to what you think they should. It stops you from being able to love them as the person they are because you are assuming you know all of them. When you choose to love the pieces they share…

Women are powerful

Women have always been the gatekeepers of humanity. If a man couldn’t provide and protect, he couldn’t reproduce. If a man was killed in a hunt other men took on the role as father and provider. Nowadays men are out here taking no responsibility for their own, let alone anybody else’s. And we, as women, get to take responsibility for the decisions we may have made in choosing who to procreate…
