Powerful Practical Prayer: Express Your Love
Do you know how powerful and practical prayer is as an expression of love for others? Prayerfulness is a virtue we can all experience, and you can too. Many people recognize the value of prayer and choose to make prayer a part of their life—a part of each morning, possibly, to start out their day. For those who pray, it helps them experience the feeling of “letting go.” As they pray throughout the day, it also helps them continually recognize that
Trust Your Gut Feelings: Improve Sport Performance
When you think of improving your sport performance, how often do your gut feelings come to mind? Do you relate your gut feelings to how much you trust yourself and your abilities? I’d like to bring you some mental training that will help you take full advantage of your sport mechanics and how you think and feel about your ability to perform well. There are many factors that affect performance, not just the skills you’ve been practicing, when it comes to performing well at an event, practice, or competition and
Joy & Happiness: One Day at a Time
As you consider your wellbeing, do you think about the words you use every day? The way you speak to yourself (or others) and the way you think everyday directly affects your feelings, your physical health, and your success. Moreover, your mindsets and belief systems prompt you to speak and think as you do. They either set you free to experience life how you choose or limit your greatest potential. A positive shift in mindset leads to gr

Book I Recommend for Weight Loss: The Fast Metabolism Diet
A growing number of clients come to me for weight loss mental training and hypnotherapy. I have found that, of all the clients that I have worked with and all the problems we’ve addressed, the weight loss clients have the greatest challenge ahead of them.
In order for someone to lose weight – and keep it off – they have to address their mental attitude, thought patterns, belief systems and habits… and I’m not just referring to eating habits. And even if I was referring to just eating habits, this encompasses alot more than how much we eat, it refers to
Is Getting Help For The Psyche Just For Psychos?
For years, people were afraid to make mention that they were going to therapy or seeing a Psychologist. The misperception was that admitting to such a thing would make them appear weak or disturbed. Nothing could be further from the truth! A person seeking outside help to improve themselves is a person who is courageous enough to admit to their weaknesses and pitfalls, who is willing to face change and who recognizes, like Einstein did 100 years ago, that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. What I have seen over and over is
Good Fuel for Your Engine
I watch car enthusiasts take great care of their classics, hot rods and muscles cars, some of which are over a hundred years old! Engines have been rebuilt with original parts that have been hunted down and found. Time, energy and a lot of money have gone into these beauties. You can imagine how important it is to keep their engines clean and running well.
If you had a muscle car with an engine modified to achieve high performance, I am quite confident you would fill it with the best fuel available. You would be well versed in knowing what the best fuel is and where you could get it. You might even know that over the last decade fuel chemistry has radically changed, with street gas now being
Sporting Clays Nationals Here I Come!
I am all booked and ready to go to the 2013 National Sporting Clays Championship, or more commonly referred to by competitors as “The Nationals.”
With several dozen active clients shooting the event and well over a hundred whom I have helped in the past or via my Clay Shooting Hypnosis Product Downloads, I am excited to see the mental part of my work in action! What it comes down to is not only who has the best mechanics, but who has the best mental game. Because as many of you know, you can’t
Common Sense in Eating Habits is Very Uncommon
“Common sense is very uncommon”… Mark Twain’s keen wit and incisive satire earned him praise from both critics and peers. But yet this statement is as true today as it was then. I am sure every one of us can think of examples of times when the simplest solution didn’t come quickly to our mind. There are times when we are so busy in our tunnel vision or defending a point that we don’t stop long enough to look at the bigger picture, to see the broader perspective.
Well, this is how I feel about the kinds of foods we are in the habit of eating. Over the past 40-50 years, technology and science have ‘evolved’ to bring us
12 Reasons to Really Quit Smoking
Are you still considering quitting smoking? Here is an article from usnews.com containing 12 really good reasons to quit smoking:
We’ll spare you the lecture. (Seriously, though. Stamp out that butt and flush the pack, already.) Tobacco use, namely cigarette smoking, is the chief cause of preventable death in the United States. Left unbridled, smoking could kill more than a billion people this century, according to the World Health Organization. That equals the number who would die if a Titanic sank every 24 minutes for the next 100 years
Acceptance for Less Stress and Greater Joy
Over the years, I have found that joy actually comes from acceptance. You can increase joy and decrease stress in your life by accepting yourself, your life, other people, and whatever situations may be presented to you. Of course, joy is quite the opposite of stress, or always feeling resentful, angry, frustrated or guilty. You have the ability to experience joy in everything you do and every moment of your day. It may sound farfetched or impossible, but it is not. I hope this article encourages you and offers you guidance in your progression towards that reality, so you can experience the greatest joy possible in your life.
So what does it mean when I say that joy comes from acceptance? It means that
