All of us want to help, protect, and shield our children from life's daily disappointments. How can we give constructive advice, to a child, without being remembered as one of their worst critics? Any negative comment we make has a "ripple effect" and can turn into long-term hostility.

What's Your Dating and Relationship IQ?

by Kevin Skinner PhD www.datingsmarts.com Intelligence comes in many forms. In spite of this, however, our society focuses almost exclusively on academic intelligence. Think about it.

Stans' Legacy - My Fathers Impact on his 13 Children

I will always have a clear picture of his face etched in my mind. As clear as a bright spring day in Geelong, the city in south eastern Australia where may father (Stan) and mother (Elsie) raised myself and my twelve brothers and sisters. Our home (lovingly referred to as '55') was the envy of hordes of friends we kids accumulated. '55' was always full of activity, it was the meeting place for the whole neighborhood and it was also full of genuine family love, largely because of Dad. I ...


How Optimism can Help - or Hurt - Your Marriage

Beth and Tom were happily married for over 25 years ' no small feat in today's world. At first, their friends could not understand how their marriage succeeded, due to numerous perceived shortcomings.

Life on the Front Burner

How many times in your life have you had to put something 'on the back burner', letting an idea or a project simmer in the background while you focused on something else? How often were the things that went on the back burner your personal hopes, dreams or needs while you concentrated on the hopes, dreams or needs of someone else? There is nothing wrong with that decision and in some cases it can be admirable. However, it's not commendable if your personal needs never come to the fore-front. ...


Energize Your Life

Did you know that it takes energy to NOT do something or to NOT deal with a situation? Every time we put off some task or chore, we start using energy to remember to do it. We also use energy to avoid doing it. Once you start thinking about how many things you are putting up with, it's easy to realize that there is an incredible amount of energy that could be available to you just by addressing these time-drainers. These items are often referred to as tolerations. Here is a simple strategy ...


Relationship Lost Its Spark?

A Mechanical Metaphor Over the years of reading self-help books, it's become obvious to me that I rarely find one that I could get my Dad, or most other men, to read. They're just not written in a way that men can relate to. Interestingly, I've noticed that computer and other gadget companies are beginning to catch on to this fact. When we unwrap our latest piece of high-tech gadgetry, we now have a choice to opt for the Quick Start Guide or plough our way through the entire manual. For most of ...


How To Save A Marriage - Should We Expect To See Counseling Actually Work In A Marriage

If all they ever see are their parents arguing and fighting then they will eventually start to lose respect for them. Stressful ...


Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life

En-JOY Your Life!

Have you ever noticed that your state of mind, whether you're happy, sad, angry, fearful, feeling any emotion at all, is directly related to what you're thinking?

Doing Your Life's Work

Most people want to do their life's work. Some people are able to separate work completely from life and be happy doing anything, but this is not the norm.

He didn't particularly like the job, but he didn't hate it. And I will never forget what he said, when trying to convince me I could do a better job with my attitude. 'It's just a job. ...


Open up The Flow To A Fulfilled Life

I had a really neat experience this morning. I was having a conversation with a friend when he suddenly asked me to chat with his wife and briefly explain what "life coaching" was about. Although I was a bit surprised by his sudden request, I happily agreed. Within seconds, I heard his wife Meg cheerfully greeting me on the other end of the phone. She began by explaining that she was in the middle of "cleaning gunk from the drain," but she wanted to know what life coaching was all about. I ...

A Blue Print For Relationship Disaster

Many singles who come to see me often start with "I already know everything about dating and relationships and I do not think I need any coaching, all I want is to know how I can find my soul mate". When we were teenagers and hopelessly romantic we really didn't care whether someone was right or wrong for us. We were fascinated with the mere idea of being in love. But many years later, hopefully, we've all learned that falling in love for all the "wrong" reasons can quickly turn into a ...


Relationship Breakup Demystified

How Much Time Do You Invest in Relationship Maintenance?

When starting a new relationship, we usually adopt a subconscious idea as to how much maintenance this connection will need. Usually, if given some thought, we can throw a microscope over this concept while it is in its fledgling state. However, time, no matter how you cut it, is a commodity and is as precious as a trillion dollars in your hot little hands. We attempt to save it, cut it, splice it among several tasks, take it for granted, and waste it. Although, most of us never consciously ...

What Are You Going to Make Life Mean For You?
