Blast Through Procrastination by Sharon Melnick

You tell yourself that you "really need to" do something to turn your situation around, and are baffled why you don't. Each day you do the same things and sink deeper into your stressful situation and personal misery.

The first step to taking action is knowing what your block is. One way you can start to get clarity is to set aside time to do the project that you know you've been needing to do. Write it into your calendar, protect the time, and have serious intent to carry it through. When it comes time to do it, notice what images come to your mind. You will have a mental picture that will reveal your block.

Read on so you can 'listen in over my shoulder' as I give you examples on how others got unblocked and started taking action.>>

George Washington, Leadership Skills by Michael Lee Stallard

From the time he was a young man, George Washington kept a personal rule book to remind him of the behavior that he aspired to live out each day. Many of the rules embody human value and capture the respect and deference Washington showed for others throughout his life. Some entries read: “Every action done in company ought to be done with some sign of respect to those who are present”; “Speak not when you should hold your peace”; “Use no reproachful language against anyone”; “Submit your judgment to others with modesty”; “When another speaks, be attentive”; “Think before you speak”; and “Be not so desirous to overcome as not to give liberty to each one to deliver his opinion.”

Washington manifest these guiding principles on the battlefield and as our first president. Read more for the skills he used to succeed with the help of others and think about what your guiding principles are>>

Are you Wishing You Could? by Rosalind Joffe

I've had my times of envy, anger, guilt, fear and loneliness over the years.  Yet, I've always been able to talk myself back from that space. Maybe it took my body's dis-integration to allow me to integrate all the parts of who I was more fully.  I could put my mind on what I had rather than what I didn't.  Over the years, I became very ill and then, fortunately, much better.

But a bad fall last August set off new chronic pain.  A few weeks later, I happened to develop a new chronic condition in my eye.  It became harder to maintain my balance and resilience.  Distraction and acceptance, my go-to places, weren't working as they had.  I sensed my deep frustration that I was healing so slowly, anger that new health issues were cropping up and deep disappointment that I couldn't get back to the health baseline I'd finally achieved.

Then a few weeks ago I noticed something; I sensed a wishing and it felt good.  "I wish I could do ..."  felt very different from wishing that things were different. It felt expansive and freeing. Read more about Rosalind's wish list>>

The 6% Solution to Weight Loss or Achieving Any Goal

Let’s face it – Americans are fat, fat, fat. According to current statistics, a whopping 60% are overweight and, of the 40% left, only about 6% fall into the lean category. (Those nice folks who can see their abs.)

So, whether your goal is to show off your six-pack or just shed a few nagging pounds, it makes sense to take a hard look at what sets this small group of lean-and-strong apart from the rest. How do they manage to accomplish what 94% of Americans find nearly impossible? The answer might surprise you >>
