6 Ways You Want to Rejuvenate Your Spirit

I was recently turned on to a TV series I had not yet seen. What do you think happened next? Yep, I went into binge watching mode. There is just something about getting caught up to the current episode and getting caught up by the series itself.

Something happened over those days, when I filled the spare moments and down time with watching. It seemed to take over more that just my spare time. Oh, I was having a great time in the play arena, and isn’t that an important part of self-care and work/life balance?

(Images) 17 Love Quotes to Take You Deeper

With all the buzz about love, I thought of seeing what Google had to say. Considering a picture is worth a thousand words, I simply typed love in my search for images. Here’s a screenshot of the results. Does Google take love to only be the romantic love between two people who love each other? Well, it does seem to be the dominant view.

As I scrolled down in my search (17 mouse scrolls to be exact) the theme didn’t change much. I believe the love between two people who love each other is a wonderful thing. It’s been attributed as a key to a success in life by many of the greats throughout history.

Consider some of the alternative images of love I found as I searched a little deeper. (more…)

6 Steps You Can Use to Turn Your Desire into Reality

Did your parents tell you to be content with what you have, when you were growing up? Mine did and I know they meant well. Sometimes people ask, “Why can’t you just be happy with your job?” or career, income, status, etc. That desire in your gut is an often misunderstood and maligned part of the healthy you.

Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s essential to be content with what we have. I strongly believe showing gratitude for all the good in our lives is a must if we are continue receiving. However, it is my belief that, to quell desire on its existence alone is a mistake, if we are to grow, develop, and reach our full potential. (more…)

And in addition to nurturing your intimate relationship, it can actually transform your work, activate your creativity and yes even impact your bank account. Sounds more like a turn off. I know! But hear me out.

Those days after a great date or an intimate night with our lover or significant other can be some of the best days of our lives. I know I’ve had incredibly productive days in that state. Walking on cloud 9. I don’t need to convince you of that. I’m sure you’ve experienced it for yourself.

This, often misunderstood, aspect of our lives provides us with an invaluable resource. In his landmark book Napoleon Hill made an incredible connection between sexuality and our mental faculties. He said:

The human mind responds to stimuli, through which it may be “keyed up” to high rates of vibration, known as enthusiasm, creative imagination, intense desire, etc.

He listed 10 mental stimulants in his book Think and Grow Rich. At the top of the list, as the most powerful, is sex, followed by others which included, love, music and auto-suggestion, also known as affirmations.

What these things do is, increase the frequency of the vibration of the mind. Viola, you are connected to new thoughts and potential, a genius state if you will, otherwise inaccessible in your ordinary state of mind.
