Hello Everyone, 
Listening is a powerful tool that we can use to help us increase empathy, understand another, stay present and also help us to grow. Learning to listen is a skill that we have to practice and develop over time. Learning to listen helps us to grow in both our understanding of ourselves as well as others. Take a challenge and spend an entire day where your focus is to listen much more than you talk. Focus on listening and understanding will change the way you spend your day. Most report experiencing much less stress and anxiety. Rather then the pressure to be heard, bask in the peace of understanding. Take care everyone, and no matter which point of your day you read this, shift to the challenge of listening.

Hello Everyone, 
Most of us have that person in our lives that could stand to change a thing or two about them to make interacting with them more pleasant. The same is true for us, most of us have things about ourselves that if we changed, it would make interacting with us much more pleasant. The more someone tells us what is wrong with us, the more we can push back and the less change occurs. This is true for others, the more we tell someone what is wrong with them or what they need to change, the more likely they are to stay the same. The answer is love, we all change through love. Love is the most powerful thing of all, being loved and loving someone is life changing and transforming. When we love, we have the power to change and to create a space that is safe for another to change if they choose to do so as well. Getting along and changing is about love, when we make that the goal, the sky is the limit, it's about love...

Hello Everyone, 

Saying goodbye does not come natural to most of us. Sometimes we have to learn how to say goodbye. It is important to learn to say goodbye so that you can move on and more importantly move forward in your life. Sometimes we try to move on without saying goodbye and sometimes we try moving on before we have decided that it is a "goodbye". This can cause all kinds of problems. It can make us wishy washy, we may yoyo back and forth, and this can prolong our growth and cause emotional damage to us. Saying goodbye can be difficult for a number of reasons. We may feel guilt or shame for saying goodbye or embarrassment. When we struggle with saying goodbye, we may avoid that person and this can cause hard feelings, misunderstandings and as a result we may feel a decrease in self esteem and confidence. When we take a step forward and learn to say goodbye, we feel stronger and more secure in our abilities to handle what comes across our path. the only way to learn to say goodbye is to take a breath and face it. Turn towards what or who you need to say goodbye to, say your goodbye and then turn and walk the other way. The more you face the shame, embarrassment, awkwardness or fear, the stronger and more confident you will become. 
Take care everyone, and if you struggle saying goodbye, I hope you learn how so that you can show yourself you are stronger than you think...
