Behavior Modification
Too many of us are operating out of a certain need despite believing we are acting in our best interest. A need for comfort, a need for achievement, a need for social acceptance, a need for a partner, and so on. As human beings we do continually create situations through our desires, which ultimately manifests and brings us temporary joy. We then move on to the next something, furthering our perceived upward movement toward accomplishing our next "x"--whatever "x" means to you. Then we reach the...

The fall season is a time when things change. It's also a good time to continue to get more balance in our work and life.
Have you seen the life balance wheel? You identify areas of your life important to you, and rate them anywhere from 0 to 10. All-encompassing balance can include areas like: finances, emotions, health, career, relationships, personal growth, community and recreation. The real importance of using this balance wheel is to identify areas in your own life that you value.

A number of my coaching clients are small business owners. They are like the majority of small business owners in the world ? They have a small business which they dream of turning into a large business...someday.
During one of my recent sessions, a client pointed to several companies that had blossomed "overnight" (really within one to two years) and were doing hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars in business in a very short time.
He then asked me what I thought was the secr...

Behavior Modification
Behavioral therapy for autism is becoming popular due to its reported high rate of success. Using this therapy, your child quickly learns that his previous inappropriate behavior will be ignored and not encouraged. He finds that only appropriate behavior is rewarded and will be motivated to do more of the same. The success rate of this type of therapy rises if you start your child as early as 3 years old on the sessions for behavioral modification.
You would likely find that your autistic ch...

Behavior Modification
When people have the right mix of attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavioural control, their intention to change behaviour will be strong.
Their intention is only constrained by their actual level of control.
In this final of a series of four articles using Ajzen's theory of planned behaviour, I will explore what is required to change people's behaviour with regard to serving customers, as an example. This article explores intentions and the limitations of actual behavioural contr...

Behavior Modification
The invention of cell phones (celular) may be equated at par with the invention of radio, telephone or the television. Its usage has grown to astronomical proportions. Almost every human being from a bubbling teenager to an old infirm individual keeps a cell phone (celular). Previously it was considered a status symbol, but now with prices hitting rock bottom, it has become a necessity with everyone, right from the daily wage laborer to the company president.
Along with its wide spread use ha...

In this spiritual ghetto of the cosmos called Earth, are men who are intelligently stupid. They are intelligent in as much as they have the ability to understand – and stupid because they often react negatively to what they hear.
Why? Because they are controlled by a gang of sub-intelligent thoughts known as Monkeys.
I tried this statement on several groups of people. The overall reaction of the majority of them to “intelligently stupid” was a spontaneous eruption of nega...

Behavior Modification
Most people think they know themselves pretty well, but how well do you really know yourself? Do you know exactly how you feel about certain things and why, or do you tend to judge how you feel by how you think you should feel? Are you comfortable with your feelings and the "inner you," or is that uncomfortable?
Getting to know yourself may be a little different from getting to know the new neighbor or that attractive blond in your building, but it doesn't necessarily have to be harder to re...

Behavior Modification
Have you ever woken up one day and realized that you were less than perfect? That you possessed a few unpleasant characteristics? I'm not talking about superficial ones, like the fact that your body now resembles Frosty the Snowman or that climbing more than two stairs causes you to wheeze like an asthmatic. I'm talking about the deeper, darker, seven-deadly-sins type traits, such as Gluttony and Sloth, that inspire us to consume half our body weight in Haagen-Daaz and to treat the mere mention ...

Behavior Modification
If you want to learn how to stop obsessive thoughts, the first step involves understanding exactly what's happening to you right now. It's like you're spinning on a hamster wheel. Like a treadmill that just runs in circles without ever getting anywhere.
Why? Because you lack TRACTION. You spin because there's nothing to grab hold of. I know; it's obvious. But it's important to really let it in: you lack traction. That's why you can't stop the obsessive thoughts.
Fortunately, you can easily...

....Know yourself first: Your relationship with yourself
Deep down inside, at the core of your soul, your spirit knows that you are a person of worth and value. You have a burning desire to reveal to others that you are indeed a worthwhile individual, someone of value to know. But in order to express this to others you must fully realize it yourself, in your conscious thoughts and beliefs. But how many of us truly see ourselves in this light?
The most important human relationship you wil...

Behavior Modification
One of the greatest tragedies of human existence can be observed all around us, in the majority of the population who travel through life, allowing life to create them, instead of choosing to actively create their lives, settling complacently into lack, convinced that their condition must end up being their conclusion. Many of us even allocate free room and board, in our minds, to the infamous self-sabotaging belief that if we weren't born with a silver spoon in our mouth... mediocrity is simply...
