I have not yet met a person who has never felt down, angry, frustrated, upset, or mad. We all feel negative emotions occasionally, but it does not mean that we are negative or bad people. This is what I call life and those emotions are part of our lives and who we are.
Do you ever think WHY you get angry or mad, and what or who causes those emotions?
I am sure you can think of a situation… a friend said some things that made you mad, you got disappointed when you could not close a deal, you got upset when your significant other did not act the way you wanted them to, or maybe you felt frustration when your boss made you feel unappreciated, etc. Any of these situations, if not addressed, can escalate your emotions beyond anger or sadness and that is just an easy way to depression.

I have to be honest with you, for a long time I did not know and I did not really pay much attention to what happiness
really meant to me. At one point in life, happiness meant one thing, then something else, and eventually, my definition of happiness has totally changed over the years. Every one of us understands happiness differently, and that definition changes when we go through different stages in life. Happiness can be a great relationship with a friend or a significant other, financial stability, a new car, great health, abundance of friends, etc., you name it.
Here are a few examples of how people described to me what makes them happy… (more…)
matter what. I am not saying that it cannot be the other way around, just that we as women tend to trust and believe the words we hear more than our intuition. Words can be so powerful that some of us lose the sense of what is real and what is not. It is not new that women are usually good at expressing what they are feeling, while men tend to be more closed up. So for us, women, when a man starts talking and expressing their feeling we want to believe every word they are saying because this is not a very common thing and we seek for communication and support.
I am sure everyone has some relationship issues at one time or another. Some of us will settle to be in a bad relationship, while others choose to improve things or dig deep into their lives and make some big decisions.
Before you do anything, before you make any decisions, before you act, you need to understand what is really going on. Many, so called “experts”, offer different step by step guides how to deal with certain issues or people who try to control or manipulate. The truth is that these steps usually work when you are in sync with yourself, when you truly acknowledge the situation, know what you want, and accept yourself.
Let’s take a look at the controlling or manipulative relationships. (more…)
Sales are dropping. Employee turnover is going up. Cash flow is sinking again. It is getting hard to get people to buy your services or products. You have tried many things – to lower prices, to offer extras, add incentives, advertise more, but nothing seems to work?
Or maybe the business is pretty stable, but you miss that excitement of growth and want to try a new direction, but not sure what needs to change?
Sounds familiar? No worries, in either case it is not over unless you choose to call it quits. You CAN take your business to a better place! (more…)
Lately, I had more conversations about this than before, so I thought I’d give you my take on it. I do not really believe in time management; time goes by and if WE do not do anything during that time, it’s gone! Therefore, managing time (i.e. what we do and when) I see more as self-control or self-discipline. Sometimes it can be a business necessity, but in most cases it is our choice to answer a phone call right the second when the phone rings or read/ respond to an email the moment it arrives to the inbox, no matter what we do at that particular moment.
