I am grateful for music as it expresses that which cannot be put in words and that which cannot remain silent.

I am grateful for music as it expresses that which cannot be put in words and that which cannot remain silent.

The Key West Montessori Middle School just started the Grateful Ring project. After one week of focusing on gratitude, one student wrote:

“I am grateful for music. I honestly don’t know what I would do without it. Music is where I shut the outside world off and allow myself to go within to be with who I really am.
I am grateful to discover all the ways it really helps me like:
When I am mad, I blast my music and the anger goes away.
Music helps me express myself.
Music helps us connect.”

Caution: Gratitude walks may result in letting go and enjoying life

I want to share a quick gratitude exercise that will help to create more balance, love and peace in your life…

The exercise is to simply go on ‘a gratitude walk’…

You basically take a walk for 5, 10 or even 20 minutes and you dedicate 100% of that time to gratitude. You consciously think of all the things you appreciate in your life, notice all of the beauty and natural gifts that surround you and simply reflect on how lucky you are to have the life that you have.

Not only will you feel AWESOME, you’ll also notice an increased level of fulfillment.

In fact, in a study conducted on a group of people who practiced daily gratitude for just 3 weeks, it was measured that they had a 25% higher satisfaction toward life! They exercised more, drank alcohol less, and their friends and families noticed that they were more pleasant to be around. And, the effects lasted for several months past the initial 3 week study!

So remember to always show appreciation for the things, people and opportunities that exist in your life. And go on… why don’t you take a gratitude walk this week? I dare ya 😉

Giving gratitude to Natalie Ledwell of http://www.mindmovies.com of explaining one of my favorite things to do everyday!

Nicholas Steele, “The Unbreakable Man” joins Jenny Craig, LCSW, BCD on the Live your Power hour

Click here to listen to the interview –

Nicholas Steele is known as ‘The Unbreakable Man’.

Several years ago, Steele thought he had the perfect life – Beautiful wife, an incredible son, plenty of money which afforded him most luxuries and a busy and exciting social calendar. However, an illness cut his career short and he underwent a number of major surgeries, which left him in immense pain and debilitated. To recover he moved with his family to France to live in his 500 year Chateau.

However, fate dealt him and his family another huge blow, when without warning.  A lightning-struck tree fell on him. It did more than just paralyze him from the neck down: ultimately, it broke his wife’s spirit, destroyed his marriage, and ripped his family apart.

But despite the cards Fate dealt him, he refused to give in to despair. When the doctors told him he would never walk again, he literally forced himself to heal, until he could once again stand on his own two feet and move under his own power.

The human spirit truly is UNBREAKABLE, if you’re determined to keep stepping forward, learning from your mistakes, refusing to let despair hinder you. Steele has been there, and made it through the fire; not unchanged, but forged into something new and stronger.

No matter how broken you may be in body, reputation, or spirit, you’ll never fail as long as you refuse to give up.

Why is it so hard to spot a con-artist?

Con-artists are often tough to spot. One of the number reasons is that they become adept at using the skills of emotional intelligence for thier own narcissitic reasons versus the higher good. As anyone who has tangled with a con-artist knows, they are skilled at the nuaces of reading other people’s behaviors and emotions. They know just what to say and when to say it. This is because the emotional intelligence skill sets that are necessary to survive in today’s global economy are skills that can be learned by anyone. As a performance coach, I have helped people to take quantum growths in business, athletic and personal success by teaching the tools of emotional intelligence.

With a background in neurology and psychology, I am often asked how con-artists are able to live with themselves considering all the harm and destruction that they leave in their path. Con-artists lack emotional empathy. According to Daniel Goleman’s definition, “emotional empathy means we feel in ourselves the other person’s emotions – our feelings resonate. People adept at emotional empathy can form warm bonds with others, and have good chemistry. Such rapport makes negotiations, teamwork and just about any shared task go better.” Con-artists lack empathetic concern for others. This is the reason they are able to manipulate, lie and steal from others with a smile on their face. They do not FEEL the emotions of others and therefore have no concern over how their behavior will affect another.

In truth, many of most successful people in the world have one or two stories about how they have tangles with con-artists including myself. If you have had the experience of dealing with a con-artist, they were more and likely an expensive lesson financially and emotionally. Often times after being seduced by a confidence artist, people will then waste time trying to understand how someone could be so callous. I remind people trying to rationalize sociopaths will only make you crazy. Instead, I have helped people move past this experience through several different exercises. One of the exercises is writing out the gifts that these people have given to you. For example, here a few of mine:
They have taught me that I am blessed to be able to care about the well-being of others. Can you imagine how lonely a life that is completely centered around yourself?
They have given me the gift of discrimination. While I enjoy my pollyanna glasses, I recognize the traits of a con-artist much sooner now. This allows me the opportunity to set boundaries with them and spend less time, money, and energy that could be used for something positive.
They got me to be grateful for all the wonderful people in my life. When I realized that I was maxed out financially and emotionally in a business with con-artists, I found myself surrounded by people offering me solutions to getting back in balance. Instead of trying to understand the motives of someone who does not feel or care about others, I spent my time being grateful for those who do instead,
