The status quo can be boring, and I love to put my unique signature on most things that leave my desk. I’ve learned though, that my creativity is many times inwardly focused. I like to change things and do things MY way. While this may resonate with others, it often is just a distraction. I’ve discovered what really matters is what customers think about my ideas and projects. The phrase “What’s in it for them,” has become my mantra. The hard part of an outward focus is determining what people truly want. You can do surveys, ask questions, or look at web traffic. For example, in 2009 I changed my blog template to a new, more sophisticated design. I used rotating graphics on the front page to highlight new topi...

We are moving forwards, in the direction of fresh air, but it is worth pausing a moment, to receive what has come to us, in a friendly way.Tags: focusing, mindful awareness (Source: Psychology, Philosophy and Real Life) Psychology, Philosophy and Real Life blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4197146 Wed, 24 Nov 2010 14:27:11 +0100 4197146 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=4175772&cid=t_214152_109_f&fid=34958&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.counsellingresource.com%2F%7Er%2Fpsychology-philosophy%2F%7E3%2FfjL4S1QwttE%2F Once we have a clear sense of a whole problem there inside our bodies, the time comes to ask it: alright, I hear you, now what is it that you really have to tell me?

From Fortune 500 high-fliers to those struggling just to get enough to eat every day, finding a way to collect, control, and act on all the "stuff" in life increases not only productivity, but also peace of mind. And if you understand organizing, you also understand several concepts central to the therapeutic process.Tags: book, focusing, in practice, therapy, tools, work-life (Source: Psychology, Philosophy and Real Life) Psychology, Philosophy and Real Life blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=4031312 Tue, 05 Oct 2010 14:23:22 +0100 4031312 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3858445&cid=t_214152_180_f&fid=38607&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2Fsuccessbeginstoday%2FBHWQ%2F%7E3%2FpDaN_JuBYoY%2F I ran across an interesting book at Costco the other day while shopping. It’s called Transformation, and it’s a follow up work by Bill Phillips to his life changing book, Body for Life, which was published 11 years ago. If you have been a reader of this blog for any length of time, you know that his first book changed my life. In twelve weeks following the Body for Life program, I lost over 25 pounds and cut my body fat percentage by over 30%. And the muscle that I gained, helped me keep the weight off for years. Bill’s new book is more holistic than his first, covering not just diet and exercise, but also mindset and well being. His weight training and exercise program is a kinder and gentler version of the original but still achieves amazing results. It’s written from the viewpo...

Focused work means working on one thing at a time. You turn off all distractions such as e-mail, web browsers, and close your door if possible, and focus on one key task. 2. Accountable means setting a short term and long term goal for your project and letting someone else hold you accountable for completing the task. 3. Scheduled means setting a time and place for your focused activities and also setting a completion schedule with milestones along the way. 4. Time is the amount of focused time you will spend on each interval of the project and also the amount of days or weeks to complete the project. Looking at our objectives above, we’ll need to incl...

Michael Hyatt had recommended the book, and I found it to be chock full of great ideas to improve your life. The thing that sets Tony’s book apart from so many others is the real world statistics that Tony includes, from his company’s work with hundreds of organizations around the world. Tony’s company is called The Energy Project and his work is focused on improving workplace and personal life performance. I found this book ties in with many of the things I’ve blogged about here at Success Begins Today. From diet and exercise, to time management, and goal setting, this little book has some practical and workable solutions to many of the ...

Much research has been conducted about who engages in celebrity worship and what drives the compulsion. Celebrity worship for purely entertainment purposes likely reflects an extraverted personality and is most likely a healthy past time for most people. This type of celebrity worship involves harmless behaviors such as reading and learning about a celebrity. Intense personal attitudes towards celebrities, however, reflect traits of neuroticism. The most extreme descriptions of celebrity worship exhibit borderline pathological behavior and traits of psychoticism. This type of celebrity worshi...
