Investing Time in You

With you, my reader, as my main focus, my goal here at CRW has always been to provide the content and tools that are most helpful to YOU.

As I’ve interacted with many of you over past couple of years there have been a few themes that have been coming up regularly. Rather than continuing to post a little here and there on these topics, I decided pick one and put together a practical how to course for you.

The course will help you learn to MANAGE the challenging relationships in your life, discover new ways to COMMUNICATE and CLEAR out some of the negative energy you may be facing in some of your interactions with others, and become a more EFFECTIVE and happier COMMUNICATOR.

Making TIME TO WORK on this and get it to as soon as possible is now my PRIORITY. To do this I will be putting a pause to my regular video posts, and begin posting shorter posts every week or even twice a week. (you may have noticed this shift already last week) 🙂

I want to HEAR FROM YOU. Please tell, what is one of the biggest COMMUNICATION challenges you feel is weighing you down and taking the JOY out of your RELATIONSHIPS with family, friends, lovers, children, or even work colleagues?

Come over and let’s talk about it on Facebook. COMMENT on the link below:

5 Easy Steps to Gain Back Your Confidence, and Belief

I hear you saying, “But I can’t have that (fill in the blank), because (fill in the excuse).” How about “I’m too _____ to ever be good at _____.”

How to Be Happier Working Through Your To Do List

Now one would think of eating their grandma, but I read that the kids said, “Let’s eat grandma!” Sounds terrible but if you add a comma it’s a different experience. “Let’s eat, grandma!”

That’s a critical writing mistake that completely changes the outcome of the conversation, but the subconscious mind has a challenge with the actual words we use as well. The self-talk words we use play a huge role in the way our days and lives turn out.
