To all my friends recently touched by destruction and dire circumstances, as our collective prayers, thoughts and actions aid recovery from Superstorm Sandy, and to all of my friends not in the New York Metro area, let’s remember we can always accelerate resilience in spirit with these simple steps:
• Set specific goals that are attainable. Take baby steps to get there when necessary.
• When you are feeling down due to personal circumstances, take stock of your strengths and positive circumstances and BE GRATEFUL!!
• Surround yourself with positive people as much as possible.
• Do not read, watch or listen to the news if you become “too upset”.
You are the only one who can control your attitude. By focusing on what is strong and enduring and seeing potential, you can take calculated risks and overcome challenges .
It takes an open, creative mind free from anxiety to pick up on opportunities.
They are out there ready to be accessed by your positive and resilient radar!!

Scary Places & Being Resilient!/ Newsletter 10/9/12

Hi Everyone!
I was on the airplane 3 nights ago, a return flight from European family fun and travels- and found myself contemplating how growing up in Brooklyn near Coney Island may have been a blessing in disguise-
I became fearless going on the “scary” rides even though I never would go on the parachute- there were known accidents on that one and I was very safety conscious- Mom was a worrier.
Going in the front car of the roller coaster, approaching the top (with friends of course ) and looking at the big drop ahead gave no time to do anything except scream & hold on tight! So it went through the fun summer months. Thinking back over the years, I did many courageous things and not much scared me. Here are a few that got me thinking back to the scary rides…:
•Walking on hot coals while on a mind body spirit retreat in Santa Fe ( first time away from my young children too). We had lots of prep time and when it was my turn I was ready. Awesome.
- Skiing.This wasn’t worth it for me; injured and it could’ve been worse… Later on I took up cross country- fun!
- Para sailing Puerto Vallarta: This was the ultimate overcome of fear of heights for me. I was sitting on the beach for several days meditating (and drinking pina coladas) and surprised myself with the conscious decision into action. Very challenging and I did look down a few times when I wasn’t looking at the mountain.
- Riding a bicycle in Amsterdam last week. Steve and I were visiting our daughter who lives there with her Spanish boyfriend. The city is really set up for cycling but I convinced myself it would be tough, it’s difficult enough being a pedestrian there- ‘cause of all the bicycles! My daughter went off riding with my husband and after a while came back to get me- they knew I would love it and it was only a few blocks to Vondel Park. Steve and I visited that city 40 years ago and rode our bikes around that we bought in Italy.
- Back on the trip forty years ago- we rode our bikes out of Florence (where we bought the racers- and mine was a boy’s with the bar- the only kind made at the time) and I scared myself with a coughing attack that precipitated me throwing the pack(s) of Marlboros out- which was scary ‘cause I couldn’t imagine not smoking “cold turkey” which I succeeded at. And it was difficult- maybe not scary- to totally change our travel plans so that we went back to the city and got the bikes on trains that rode out of the seven hills, through the Alps and landed us in Germany to enjoy the rolling hills (so we could use all the gears ) and along the Rhine onto Holland. Of course we stopped to eat and sleep in foreign lands- sometimes in hostels and sometimes in the forest, scary and amazing.
I’m happy to be telling you all now. When friends and strangers comment on (both) our daughters living in Europe – I smile and am happy we brought them up with roots and wings - and the ability to navigate the scary and unknown.
• The scariest thing of all for me was 9/11 and the period following that. Were we really OK? Then it became more than me and being empty nested- yes our daughters already just in Europe- and it was much more than getting off the coach and back onto the treadmill and back into the gym- even that was scary after a dark period.
- Now getting through the airports is kinda scary. Getting off the Long Island RR into Penn station is fine if I look straight ahead and focus. That’s it, and what I recommend:

A big shout-out Thank You! to Barbara Kent, publisher of “The Long Island Corrider” magazine of the area who organized and hosted a luncheon to honor Long Island Authors and gave us the opportunity to talk about our books and lives.

How to Measure Your Goals and Needs
Posted in goal setting, goals, SOAR!, SOAR!with Resilience, Uncategorized, tagged Coach U, goals, Jack Canfield, resilience, the nine environments, the wheel of life on September 7, 2012 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve recently discovered after reading a newsletter from Jack Canfield that “The Nine Environments”, (named by Coach U in 2005) is quite similar to “The Wheel of Life”, used by Native Americans and Eastern culture for centuries.
No matter which system you adopt, it’s import to track your needs and goals. Find out how here in my book
THE MEMETIC ENVIRONMENT
The memetic environment includes ideas, values, thoughts, beliefs, paradigms, styles and habits that are passed down from generation to generation. The memetic environment also includes information and knowledge (books, websites, magazines, television, and radio)
THE BODY ENVIRONMENT
The body environment includes the body, hair, skin, nails, health and energy. This environment touches the network environment, as it includes physicians, skin care consultants, massage therapists, hair dressers, physical therapists, dietitians, personal trainers and other professionals who support your physical body and well being.
THE SELF ENVIRONMENT
The self environment includes our strengths, talents, personalities, feelings, emotions, values, passions and skills. The self environment includes the intangible aspects of our beings.
THE NATURE ENVIRONMENT
The nature environment includes nature, parks, bodies of water, the seasons of the year, pets, plants, the seasons of life, and the outdoors. As humans, we are a part of nature, so access to this environment is crucial for our survival and ultimate well-being.
THE SPIRITUAL ENVIRONMENT
The spiritual environment includes our connections to a higher power, to God or Spirit, the invisible connection we feel to others and the universe. It includes methods of connecting to spiritual aspects of life (such as meditation, prayer, and places of worship).
THE RELATIONSHIP ENVIRONMENT
The relationship environment includes those people in our lives who are closest to us and with whom we have an intimate connection. This includes family, close friends, close colleagues, co-workers, mentors and neighbors who are in our lives on a daily basis.
THE NETWORK ENVIRONMENT
The network environment is an extension of the relationship environment. It includes people with whom you are on a first name basis, yet you may not have a deep and intimate connection. The network environment includes business associates, community organizations, support groups you belong to. The goal of the network environment is usually to provide an exchange of information and to build bridges to people who can support you in enhancing both your business and personal life.
THE FINANCIAL ENVIRONMENT
The financial environment includes bills, credit cards, money, investments, insurance, stocks and bonds and the people who support your financial well-being (accountants, financial planners, stock brokers). This environment also includes any tools or support services you use to achieve your financial goals files, computer programs, budgets, banks. When exploring the financial environment, it is also important to look closely at the relationship a person has with money and their beliefs around money and prosperity/abundance.
THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
The physical environment includes the very tangible aspects of our lives…our home, office, car, furnishings, artwork, toys, boats, and accessories. The physical environment provides visual clues to what is going on in our lives. Clutter, noise, broken equipment can be visual clues to looking deeper to discover our thoughts, energy and behaviors.
“The Wheel of Life” used in the Native American and Eastern teachings
Stop Workplace Bullying Now!
Posted in aggressive, anger, anger coach, anger management and conflict resolution training, anger management specialist, bullying, bullying support groups, Certified Anger Management Specialist, conflict resolution, cyber-bullying, health, SOAR!with Resilience, stress management tips, stress release, stress resilience, workplace stress, workshops and trainings, tagged aggression, anger management, bullying prevention, management, resilience, stress management, workplace bullying on August 3, 2012 | 3 Comments »
Things can be chaotic enough “out there” without workplace bullying, which unfortunately is on the upswing; workplace bullying is a hot topic now.
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia defines workplace bullying:
Workplace bullying, like childhood bullying, is the tendency of individuals or groups to use persistent aggressive or unreasonable behavior against a co-worker or subordinate. Workplace bullying can include such tactics as verbal, nonverbal, psychological, physical abuse and humiliation. This type of aggression is particularly difficult because, unlike the typical forms of school bullying, workplace bullies often operate within the established rules and policies of their organization and their society. Bullying in the workplace is in the majority of cases reported as having been perpetrated by management and takes a wide variety of forms. Bullying can be covert or overt.
The Professional Liability Underwriting Society’s seminar “Hot Topics on D&O and Employment Practices Liability” at the University of Chicago on May 10, 2012 was led by four corporate employment law specialists.
Hot Topic #2 was Workplace Bullying. After an honest review of what our proposed anti-bullying legislation, the Healthy Workplace Bill, does for employers and for workers and what it does not do, the employer advocates suggested that employers are wise to get ahead of this trend and address workplace bullies in a proactive manner.
Balance & Power, Inc. has been addressing stress and anger management issues for two decades corporately, in the the educational and private sector and now is facilitating bullying prevention trainings and support groups for victims of bullying. Anger in the school, the home and the workplace has reached epidemic proportions and it is my goal to help eliminate the situation. I believe inner strength and being centered are keys to optimal productivity and happiness. I am a certified Anger Management Specialist, accepted by the US courts.
Our popular training manual SOAR! with Resilience™ Book often accompanies these programs.

Ten Tips to Increase Happiness and Build Confidence
Posted in coaching, confidence, empowerment, happiness, intuition, tagged coaching, confidence, EFT, fear, gratitude, intuition, life coaching, positive thinking, resilience, stress, success on February 11, 2012 | 11 Comments »
These tips are tried and true! :
1. Listen to and follow your intuition.
During these trying and difficult times it’s been shown that it’s often necessary to reprioritize to get best outcomes. Your intuition is most often correct when it comes to your life, work and relationships. So even if it’s an inkling feeling – a tiny revelation- take a moment to recognize that and then move forward.
2. Stay within your integrity- no matter what.
No reason or person is important enough to ever stray. If you have tried this over the years, whether intentionally or not, then you know it always backfires.
3. Love and laugh!
Both are proven stress reducers. Happiness is contagious – many need more of that now while surrounded by global negativity, difficult times, chaos and immersed in “the new normal”.
4. Forgive yourself for mistakes; let go and move on.
Self-forgiveness is essential in order to forgive anyone else. Forgiveness is essential to let go of anger. Letting go of anger is essential to be happier. Especially in “the new normal” this is a no-brainer 
.
5. Take time each day to relax, to dream.
We need our “down” time more than ever now, living in these difficult times. Honor your method of relaxation and allow dreams to surface. Be open to learning additional relaxation techniques and give them a try.. whatever works for you whenever you do it is OK as long as it has no negative effects on health or overlaps with personal or work responsibilities. If things are unmanageable – get help.
6. Be a great listener.
Listening is the most important part of communication. If you do not understand what is being said, ask. Listen well and your response will be more on target.
7. Stay healthy by practicing extreme self-care. (diet, sleep, exercise, relaxation techniques).
Stress takes its toll on health and may exacerbate conditions already in existence. Therefore we need to be more diligent in this realm in order to ”Thrive Amidst Chaos” (the title of a workshop I co-presented with two colleagues recently).
8. Stop procrastinating and take action- move forward or drop the project.
We all procrastinate; acknowledgement of being in this mode is the firststep in moving forward. All procrastination is fear based and manifests itself through negative statements such as:
“not the right time now”
“why even bother…can happen (worst case scenario).”
Sometimes the act of “non-doing” is an indication that the idea needs to be tossed.
What holds us back from accomplishing our goals is fear.
- Fear of failure
- Fear of being judged
- Fear of success
- Fear of being controlled
These fears are often caused by deeply routed anxieties. No matter- you can turn it all around with EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques: Meridian Tapping) combined with positive language-visualization reframing and Peak Performance Success Coaching and the intention to do just that!
The following are a few common phrases/excuses people use when they are procrastinating: The task is:
“too boring”
“too time consuming”
“I just don’t feel like it”
“I just don’t want to”.
The Good news is that EFT ( The Emotional Freedom Technique) is wonderfully successful in reversing procrastination, as usually deeper emotional issues are involved. It is based on the simple statement that the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system . It involves tapping on meridian points while making statements about the issue.
Knowing that you are afraid will not magically remove fear or change behavior. You can use The EFT Technique to eradicate the roadblocks of guilt and fear that keep you from moving forward. When you use EFT and stimulate the acupressure points (see chart) the level of serotonin in the brain rises and floods the amygdalia, the section of the brain involved with controlling emotion and fear, and the fear loop is disconnected. Once the brain stops experiencing fear with the proper EFT tapping, set-up phrase (see below examples) and intuitive NLP language guidance from an experienced EFT Practitioner, which I am, you will find that your thoughts and behaviors transform effortlessly.
9. Begin each day with a short meditation positive visualizations of successful outcomes of your goals.
Oh! I am so much a believer in this! Research has shown fantastic results. It’s all up to you – and your connection to a higher power/the universe.
10. Believe in yourself and your goals; create affirmations and post them onto mirrors, in an accessible notebook and in the car.
I’ve witnessed amazing escalation in self esteem, happiness, productivity and success with the implementation of these tips for my clients.
