Life is a Continuous Prayer

Written by Catherine Franz

When we walk into a meeting, you say a little prayer in hope thatrepparttar meeting will not drag on. Or that your presentation will go well. Or that Sandy will not ramble on as he usually does. That’s a prayer.

Yes, there are times when people, places, or things don't want to receive our prayers. Then our soul cries out to them in prayer overrepparttar 130172 loss of possibilities.

Prayer is a vibration. It feels good becauserepparttar 130173 vibration meshes in with nature andrepparttar 130174 Universe. Quantum physics proves these theories.

Prayer isrepparttar 130175 voice of love that brings us internal peace, understanding, andrepparttar 130176 wisdom on how to share.

Now, doesn't your day look just a little different? Your prayer is a vibration that manifests fromrepparttar 130177 inside out. It’s natural and easy to do. The key is awareness. We've been doing it for so long, we've taken it for granted and thus stop noticing unless something big. Couldrepparttar 130178 miracles that occur everyday in our life sharerepparttar 130179 same fate?

Embrace your prayers everyday in whatever form they appear. Connectrepparttar 130180 positive, natural vibration that enthralls attraction. Be aware of its presence and natural attraction to you.

10 Barriers to Clear Perception and Smart Choices (which EQ can remedy)

Written by Susan Dunn, MA, Emotional Intelligence Coach and Consultant


Continued from page 1

Because of their emotional state, they may jump to conclusions that aren’t warranted, or over-react. For instance, if their partner tells them “I don’t like it when you talk that way to my mother (which is a behavior which can be changed),” they may hear, “I don’t love you” (which is a condemnation of you as a person).

This sort of distortion is why it’s good to repeat back what you think you’ve heard in heated discussions whererepparttar outcome is important. If you say, “Let me make sure I understood what you said. You said you’re angry because I…” this givesrepparttar 130170 other personrepparttar 130171 opportunity to clarify what they said or meant, and to correct your misperceptions. This is vital to good communication.

It’s common with couples for each person to correctrepparttar 130172 other saying, “But that’s not what you meant” or “That’s not what you said.” There’s never a place for this. By checking it out withrepparttar 130173 person you give them a chance to self-correct, to correct you, and to establish clear communication about important things.

SELF-SABOTAGE

If you aren’t clear about what brain is working, i.e., reptilian, limbic or neocortex, you can do yourself in. One reason coaching is helpful is because it can help you clarify what you’re really after, and what fears and obstacles you’re throwing in your own path. If you want something but never seem to be able to attain it, it could be that you fear success, or fear failure, or aren’t clear about what you want.

An example would be wanting to marry someone because you love them (limbic) but talking yourself out of it (neocortex) because your best friend doesn’t like him. Your best friend may or may not be perceiving correctly, and is certainly entitled to their opinion, but they aren’trepparttar 130174 person who will be marrying this man, you are. Therefore you need to get centered in your own feelings and perceptions.

DISTORTION FROM “CATCHING” EMOTIONS

Emotions are contagious. We vary in our ability to protect ourselves from “catching” them, and in our ability to stay centered in our own emotions. An example of this happened to merepparttar 130175 other day. I told a friend I was planning to drive from San Antonio to Houston to pick up my sister atrepparttar 130176 Houston airport for us to continue on to a vacation in Alabama. Her flight would arrive at Houston International and we both had cell phones. I planned to pick her up out front. It seemed simple enough to me, butrepparttar 130177 person I related this to said it was “very difficult” and not to try it.

I checked it out with a third person who travels throughrepparttar 130178 Houston airport allrepparttar 130179 time to find out what on earthrepparttar 130180 first friend was getting at. The third person said “Just be sure and bring at least $4 worth of quarters forrepparttar 130181 tollway, and aside from that, there should be no problem.” It turned out I had no trouble whatsoever. When I checked back in withrepparttar 130182 first person, he was incredulous. If I had listened to his perception of reality, I wouldn’t have done something that was actual quite easy to do. I’m sure you can think of many examples in your own life.

This is another situation coaching is good for. People tend to bring their own fears into advice-giving, and think about what they would do and how they would feel instead of being able to see if from your point of view. Whatever your goal, whatever you have in mind, there is someone out there who would be afraid of it. Whether you want to be an entrepreneur, or marry someone from another culture, move to a Caribbean Island, or write a novel, or bungee jump, there is someone to whom this is a frightening thing who will do their best to discourage you because of their own feelings about it.

Developing your Emotional Intelligence has many benefits. Give it a try! Most people get immediate results and realize immediate improvements in their lives.
