Eat More to Lose Weight by Guest Tickler How fast do you need to lose weight? Most experts would suggest to diet; but everyone hates dieting. Why? Because dieting is temporary and doesn't work. You need to CHANGE the way you eat. |

Time to Change YOUR Leaves? by Guest Tickler Fall is one of my favorite times of year—the temp starts dropping, the air gets crisp, the trees put on a glorious display of color—I love it! I also think it's a great time to drop what's not working for you. If trees can let go of every leaf, why can't we let go of what no longer serves us? |

Why your new-year resolutions would not stick by Guest Tickler Some people won't even make New Year's resolutions anymore. Not because they don't want to improve their lives, but because they've tried and failed so many times, they've given up. It's not the resolution maker who's the failure, it's the methodology we've been using to try and bring about radical change in our lives. |

Super Manifesting by Guest Tickler Research has found a connection between the power of the mind and what happens in our life and the results are speaking for themselves. The process to create what we want in our lives is called "manifesting" - the bringing of ideas and desires into physical form. Manifesting becomes a self empowerment tool when it is applied to realizing our desires. This is done through the law of attraction. |

Time Management Methods for Daily Activities by Guest Tickler There are several concepts and approaches that aim to improve your time management skills. However, most of them seem to rest on unrealistic concepts that actually achieve nothing. Effective time management entails the maximum use of whatever time that is available each day to enable you to accomplish designated tasks. |

3 Steps to the Discovery of Anger by Guest Tickler Most people accept anger as a part of life. We all feel justified when we get angry and we can point to all the people and reasons for it. Certainly no one in their right mind could disagree. We all shake our heads as we hear of yet another "idiot driver who almost killed me", the boss "who set me up to take the fall", the spouse "who knows just the right buttons to push to send me over the edge". |

Texting Too Loud to Hear by Guest Tickler Don't make the mistake of assuming your employees are good communicators. Just because you trained them on what to say doesn't mean they know how to say it. There's a mighty fine line between efficient and rude. Caring is what people want. |

Make 2010 the Year of Your Life! by Guest Tickler Given the current economic condition in the US, 2010 could become the year that Americans have to look at their lives in a totally new way. If they stay focused upon their finances, like the economy they may spend a good part of the year, if not all of it, receding into a depression and not living their lives fully at all. |

Life as a Trainer by Guest Tickler Most employees view training as medicine or worse, as punishment. As an outside trainer, I work with hundreds of groups in a wide variety of industries and most people enter the training room as if they are going to the gas chamber. |

Tough Times: 6 Tips to Beat It! by Guest Tickler It's when events are overwhelmingly beyond your control, that you either find new ways to cope or are pulled down by the undertow. Your usual defenses are inadequate to protect from overwhelming long-term stress. Stress can build gradually beyond tolerance level, or a surprising turn of events like those recently reported in the news can create the kind of vulnerability that demands openness to change. |

Victor Or Victim - Your Choice by Guest Tickler Right now it's tough to not feel like a victim. So many events seem to be beyond our control, and so many consequences of the decisions of others appear to have cost so many so much. It's an easy time to choose to blame others and let events just carry us along- the perfect example of a victim. |

What a 5-year-old taught me about gratitude by Guest Tickler I frequently see folks going to great lengths in their effort to develop and incorporate an "attitude of gratitude" into their lives, lugging around special gratitude crystals, rocks, or stones, keeping special gratitude journals, and/or resorting to all sorts of other "props and crutches" as I like to refer to them, when *all* that's *really* required is developing the simple habit of saying "thank you". |

Living willfully in 2010 by Guest Tickler As responsible adults, we are encouraged to create both a Will and a Living Will. Wouldn't it be great to also create a document that declares how we want to live! It could be called a "Living Willfully Declaration." This document wouldn't divide up what we have, or detail how we want to leave with dignity, but instead it would bear witness to the principles and values we want our lives to express. By Living Willfully, I mean living with intention and integrity, purpose and determination, mindfulness and just action. It means consciously choosing how we want to respond to life instead of simply reacting. |

What I Learned Being a Parent by Guest Tickler Becoming a parent is embarking on a journey that never ends. Parenting may take different forms and functions as time progresses, but I believe no one ceases being one. Long after your child outgrows you, and leaves you, you remain the parent that loves and cares for him as much as when he was still a baby. |

Do Nice Mothers-In-Law Really Exist? by Guest Tickler Why does she feel the need to dominate our relationship? Why does she hold on emotionally to her son instead of allowing him to evolve into a mature and self-realized man and husband? Why should I be expected to prove myself to her? Surely my obvious respect and devotion to the family should be the measure of my worth as a daughter-in-law and wife? Why must so much of my time and energy be focused on my mother-in-law and not my son and husband? |

"God Is Whatever You Want It To Be" by Guest Tickler Who is God’s God? Andre: It is a circular reference .... well for me there is no proven God. So if I can't prove the first one I can't even begin to theorize further. But interestingly enough I have observed too that most things in life follow a cycle including animals, plants, the planets etc. This makes me think that existence must be cyclical too. It is only human beings who see everything to have a beginning and an end; maybe we are finite-focused and not able to understand anything else ? |

Sex and the Lonely Woman by Guest Tickler I was in Dumaguete, a city in the South of Manila, when I celebrated my 44th birthday last November 2008. I was not alone. I was with a group from the office, managing a multi-million peso event that was to crown all our achievements for the year. I was the team leader and I owned the project. |

What Will It Take To Stop Us From Wasting Precious Water? by Guest Tickler How can we stop wasting water? First we will have to change our attitude. We will have to feel responsible for the world that we will create for future generations. And what is the solution? How can we make everybody aware of this problem? Through public education programmes, water metres and higher water rates perhaps? As far as I am concerned I have always felt that the children can make a world of difference. Let's also begin by adding water conservation and environmental studies as key subjects on schools' curricula. |

Parenthood changed my life! by Guest Tickler Becoming a “real” dad was a combination of slow and natural process of “awakening” and conscious self-reminding, self-training, or self-conditioning that I am already a father and I have to change my ways.

Use lessons from the past to be successful in future! by Guest Tickler We are in January now. It is the appropriate time for us too, like Janus, to look back and look forward. However, we will not be physically able to look back and look foreword at the same time, since we do not have two heads like Janus. But with the single head, that we are blessed with, we can look back before we look foreword. In the time in-between we can review our past overall. |

3 simple questions to help you find your ideal work-life balance by Guest Tickler Work-life balance is a tricky thing to opine upon. In the abstract, it's kind of meaningless.
