The only way to make healthy decisions is to be true to your beliefs. Your conscience is bound to be at peace when you choose to go this route.

Use these additional tips to help you make those tough decisions with confidence:

1. Limit the advice you take. In some scenarios, advice is very helpful. However, in others, it can easily cloud your judgment. When making a tough decision, go with your gut. It’s usually correct if you’re aligned with your conscience!

• When you start to hear several different opinions, you can get confused. Of course, you can be courteous to everyone offering their suggestion. You may want to respectfully listen to everybody who’s trying to help. But listen with one ear!

• It’s possible to hear the advice and not take it to heart. It’s also possible to weigh everybody’s feedback and filter the ones that aren’t helpful.

When it comes to making decisions that take you out of your comfort zone, it can really be emotionally trying.

The only way around those decisions is to be untrue to your beliefs. And that’s an approach you most likely want to avoid. Your conscience is bound to eat away at you if you go that route.

Instead, try this process to help you make those tough decisions with confidence:

1. Weigh the alternative. When a tough decision looms overhead, you know there’s always an alternative. It’s probably easier to go with that alternative, and save yourself the stress. But at what cost?

• If you’re honest with yourself, you’ll realize that the tough decision may be the best decision from a moral standpoint. It’s hard to go wrong when you go the moral route!

• Avoid making decisions that you know may rest on your conscience forever. Those make it difficult to live with true peace of mind.

Procrastination is the root of unachieved dreams and success. It’s the most important factor between you and the prize you’ve set your eyes on. But somehow it’s difficult to eliminate it.

For some reason, you may be magnetized by delaying the tasks at hand. The sense that there’s enough time to get things done can be misleading. It can be the difference between celebrated success and shattered dreams.

End procrastination once and for all by slowly taking some steps towards a renewed approach:

1. Renew your commitment each day. In order to stay on track, it’s important to maintain commitment to the goal. That can be easily achieved by renewing your commitment each day.

• When you wake up, remind yourself of your purpose. Take a look at what you’re motivated to achieve. The feeling of excitement about achieving a desired goal is constantly alive. You just need to reengage it regularly.

• This exercise also helps you to maintain focus on what’s important to you. In fact, you may even find that the spark of a goal fades. This can happen when you realize something you thought was important really isn’t.

• Daily renewal helps you to zone in on what means the most to you.

Procrastination is the root of unachieved dreams and success. It’s the most important factor between you and the prize you’ve set your eyes on. But somehow it’s difficult to eliminate it.

For some reason, you may be magnetized by delaying the tasks at hand. The sense that there’s enough time to get things done can be misleading. It can be the difference between celebrated success and shattered dreams.

End procrastination once and for all by slowly taking some steps towards a renewed approach:

1. Prioritize opportunities. If something isn’t important to you, you’ll probably spend very little time trying to achieve it. That reality is the basis of your priority list. The achievements that really matter most belong at the top. Everything else can fall whenever. And that might even mean falling off the list!

If you’re like most people, you might not have figured out what you’re intended to do with your life. What is your Purpose?

What is Life Purpose anyway? For our purposes, let’s define your Life Purpose as something that you love to do that also has a great impact on the world. It’s that sweet spot where you’re having a great time and doing something wonderful for as many people as possible.

Many people leave their lives up to chance. They slide into a profession that they don’t hate and stay there or in a similar situation until they’re ready to retire. Living your purpose usually requires taking action with the intention of finding it.

There are several ways you can attempt to discover the purpose of your life:

1. Describe your ideal day. Project yourself several years into the future and imagine that your life is essentially perfect. What would your life look like? Are you working? What type of work are you doing? What do you do all day? Who is in your life?

• Now that you know what the end looks like, what can you do today to take the first step in that direction?

2. Find an organization in your community that interests you. Doing something worthwhile can be a good way to discover your purpose. Even if you come up short, at least you’ll have done something important.

3. Assume you can do the impossible. When anything is possible, what would you do? Take action to bring your dreams to life.
4. Write. Perhaps the most effective way to discover your life’s purpose is to spend an hour writing. At the top of your paper write, “My life’s purpose.” Now spend the next 60 minutes writing whatever pops into your mind.

There are days where it seems like there’s just not enough of the precious gift of time.  What can you do about this?

Successful time management techniques are also effective in managing stress!  The pressures that come from feeling that time is lacking can cause massive stress in your life.  Thankfully, you can improve your time management skills so you’re able to accomplish more in any given day.

Here are 3 more simple strategies to help you make the most of your days!

1. Avoid procrastinating. Far too many people put things off to the last possible minute. When this happens, we rush frantically to accomplish everything, but we end up doing a cruddy job and get ourselves all worked up for no good reason. There is a better way!

• Use your morning hours wisely and get tasks started early in the day. Chances are you’ll finish them in one day rather than having it drag into a second day because you didn’t have enough time to get things done. For some, this may mean waking up an hour or two earlier instead of sleeping an hour or two later.

2. Do the unpleasant tasks first. A great time management trick is to get the things you dislike out of the way first. If you keep putting it off, you’ll attempt to squeeze it in somewhere, and you’ll get the feeling of being overwhelmed.

Managing Time is an important element in Stress Management.  Feeling pressured by not having enough time adds additional stress to your life.

Do you find yourself wishing there were more hours in the day? Our lives are so filled with work, family, and appointments that we often can’t seem to fit in everything we need to accomplish in a 24-hour day.

But what if we could accomplish more in less time? If this were actually possible, it would allow us more time with those we care about and more time to focus on ourselves.

The good news is: there are simple strategies you can use to make the most of your days!

These strategies can enable you to get more done in less time:

1. Make a list. Write out everything that you need to accomplish, and then joyfully cross off each task as you complete it. As you see your list dwindling, it’ll provide the needed motivation to get the rest of the list done, too.

• Put your list on the refrigerator, in your daily planner, or on the computer. Keep it somewhere handy so you can look at it often and stay focused.

2. Prioritize effectively. Determine which tasks are most important and what can possibly wait until later on in the day, week, or month. If this is something you’re having trouble with, you may be trying to squeeze in tasks that can actually be put on hold for a future time.

The following motivational strategies can help you persevere to attain your most-cherished goals:

Strategy #1: Do It — for as Long as It Takes!
It is very important that you not give up on your goal. Even if your route to success turns out to be longer and more twisted than you expected it to be. Such is the card life has dealt you. Success requires that you deal with it and — again — move on.

Strategy #2: Aim to be Better … not Perfect!
Aiming to be perfect is like aiming for the moon. You will never be able to reach it — such is impossible. What you can do is to improve yourself and make yourself — or your situation — better.

You may not be able to reach for the moon. However, if you were to arm yourself with a telescope, you would bring the moon much closer. Aiming at Read more

Are you tempted to give up?  Are you tempted to deny yourself success with your New Year goal?

When you feel like you have reached the end of your tether, make one last big push. That’s right: Do MORE!

Or, if you are just one step away from giving in to exhaustion, take 5 deep, slow breaths, and refocus. Now, do just 1 more (whatever the task-at-hand might be)!

You may not have completed your schedule for today, but knowing that you gave it your best is enough. Knowing that you gave it your best can give you the boost to be energetic and motivated for the next day!

The point here is that failure is NOT an option.

Certainly, you are not stuck on the moon. You are not flying Apollo 11. Your life is not at stake. However, go ahead — imagine yourself in this same back-against-the-wall scenario.  Your life depends on it — what are you going to do to save Read more

Think of all those who have not accomplished as much as you have.  Ponder those who did not reach as far the goals that you did. If you were to crow out loud about your victories, this would be boasting. But you are not doing this.

You are just quietly reflecting on how far you have come. You are recognizing what you have achieved that others have not.

Sometimes, you might find yourself tending toward comparing yourself to those you feel accomplish more — with more quality — than you do. This can result in the failure to realize how much you has done, even more, perhaps, than what others have accomplished.

When you realize this, you will see for yourself that accomplishing more than others does not make you better. You just happened to be Read more
