The Earth we live on like any other planet goes through cycles and changes, we know this from the geological record. The Sun also goes thru cycles and periods of unrest. The Solar System in its little energy bubble travels thru the depths of space. Gravity waves affect the Earth and the core spins within. The magnetic field also goes thru changes and we all have h

Many people in the last decade have experienced for themselves either a layoff or termination. Some of these people affected have experienced outplacement-consulting services. This is a fancy word for “help” in finding a new job. Many have also heard the adage that it is better to get a new job while you are still employed.I will address why finding a job i
The answer is distraction. Purposeful distraction.
As adults living in a world of chaos, we get distracted all the time. Someone is always trying to get our attention, whether it’s some company’s marketing team or the person on the other end of our ringing cell phone. From our perspective, this is not purposeful distraction. It’s not something we set out to do. That’s something someone else set out to do.
Purposeful distraction occurs when we shift gears for a little while; when we get out of where we are and go to a more neutral space. It’s the space between problem and solution, issue and non-issue. When we want to shift from the problem to the solution, there needs to be the space in-between the two – the space where we can think. That’s where we use purposeful distraction.
Kathleen is an expert at using purposeful distraction. When she got home, she called her favorite massage therapist and made an appointment for later that evening. In the meantime, she went to the health club to work off some of the tension. On her way home from the health club, she stopped at the store to buy food to make a healthy dinner. By the next morning, Kathleen was ready to take on the day. She had a fresh perspective on how she would handle yesterday’s events.
By the end of the week, she had a new car, a solid lead on a new client, and a much more manageable date for her wedding dress. Because she took the time out to put everything into perspective, she was able to turn her luck around in a swift and efficient manner.
Sometimes we forget that we need time and space to think or to just “be”. When we remember to take time to step out of the daily necessities, we see what’s happening with new eyes. Here are some ways to shift gears with purposeful distraction:

Those who are plagued by allergies are always struggling to diminish those irritants that cause watery eyes, runny noses and rashes that sometimes translate into full-blown hives. These and other symptoms can be brought about by a number of contaminants that infiltrate the very air that people breathe within their own homes. If you’re among those who are constan

I just finished to read a book. A story for kids (yes, I like them), interesting, told with participation and sometimes irony.Which is the problem, then? Simple, if the author have been reading "How to Write a Children's Book in 30 Days or Less" by Caterina Christakos, he could have written it decidedly better.There aren't outcrying defects, but

Why should I increase my Omega fatty acid intake?Our intake of essential fatty acids has changed radically in the last century. Our ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 should be close to 1:1, but it is now over 10:1 and up to 20:1. This is due to the addition of corn, sunflower, safflower, sesame and other Omega-6 oils to our food supply. Such excesses are thought
