So how do you get the most from your home workouts? Follow these
suggestions:

Achieve More Of Your Potential
Some of you may have thought about this, most have not. Do you have an image in the back of your mind (or maybe closer to the front) that is you the way you want to be?
For some that image is clear, but for most it is hazy at best. For most people that image is obscured by distractions and clutter. If asked, most would say, "I think I know what I want to become... but I'm not sure." Even after you grow up and achieve some success, you still probably have a vague feeling that I could have been more, that I could be more. For the fortunate, they...

The Different Components of Your Brain
Whatever the reason you came here, when I talk about components, I mostly mean literal, physical parts of your brain. Because if I wanted to talk about everything your brain can do for you, every ability and capability, every single function, it would take me years and years.
Long introduction short, your brain has 6 'pieces', all housed inside of 2 hemispheres (2 two halves of the cerebrum), which are connected by the corpus callosum (the great band of fibers uniting the two halves of the cerebrum).
If we'd look inside your head, we would firstly...
The Value of Psychotherapy
have recently set up a new practice as a Psychotherapist which led to a discussion with my partner in the practice as to our fees. This in turn led to thoughts about how to value our work.

After this we decided that we were not targeting the budget segment but were most interested in the quality segment. The webinar was a marketing exercise for a marketing workshop that I...
Your Brain Is Hardwired For Truth
False signals, sooner or later, develop into chaos. Lack of any communication is more trust worthy than miscommunication. False signals make it so you do not know where you are going and that is where you are likely to end up.
Your neurons are HARD WIRED for Truth, and Truth is what holds all things together. A few years ago I wrote these words: Total Truth gives no false signals. The flow of even the slightest false witness gives the wrong signal and initiates the flow of wrong energy and matter. Opinions do not count as Truth. Because nothing...

About 2,000 senior citizens free from dementia were tracked over the course of three years. At the end of the three year study, the mental health of all participants was evaluated. Several survey questions were asked to help track mood and mental health changes. At the...
A Few Words on Exercise
This week I would like to talk about exercise. For the most part the word exercise appears to be a foreign word lately. I started exercising when I was 13, and I haven't stopped since. At the gym each day I see a myriad of individuals trying to stay fit, but in reality this is only a small minority of the population at large. Our society has now become so obtuse in their habits that getting an extra fifteen minutes of sleep trumps an exercise regimen.
I hear excuses in my office all day long, from "I have kids", to "my job doesn't allow me the...
