10 Tips to Overcome Shyness
There are ways to overcome shyness even if you are in a social setting.
Are you painfully shy? Do you often feel awkward, turn white, stammer in anxiety, mumble and/or look away when someone approaches you to talk? Many people never outgrow the feelings off shyness that they experienced as children, and as an adult, being shy can pose tremendous social challenges that impede on success. Luckily, it is possible to overcome shyness at any time.
My daughter is encouraged to smile more despite being shy.
As a child, I was extremely shy. My voice was hardly audible. I wished that I could disappear into the ground when people I didn’t know well, approached me with a question. Until I entered college, I frequently hoped that no one would notice me. In college, I became somewhat split in my desires; torn between wanting to be noticed by the boys and not wanting to be noticed by the teachers during class.

How to Meditate for Beginners: 10 Essential Tips
How to meditate for beginners is a question that many people, perhaps someone like yourself, ask.
It would appear that everyone on the planet is extolling the benefits of meditation…and, you are eager to join the bandwagon too. However, it is possible to encounter frustration when you first get started. Your mind is in a constant stream of chatter. As such, it becomes impossible to sit still! After a couple of tries, you may even conclude that, “I just cannot meditate!”
(Picture taken: meditating in serene surroundings in Thailand)
I would like to believe that it is possible for the majority of us to meditate. The exceptions would be those with mental health issues. I have come a long way since the days when I had the same complaint myself.
In fact, I recall that I would previously give plenty of excuses in not being able to find time to meditate. I would choose to do something else “more productive” than a seemingly passive activity like meditation. Over the years, I would find that the time that I spend in quiet meditation is not a waste of time but rather an investment in clarity. I now meditate almost every morning, save for days when I need to go out early.

To fulfill our visions, we need to be bold. We need to be able to let go of our fears. Boldness is the magic brew that spurs us on to venture beyond known territories, undertake new adventures, and make bigger dreams. A healthy dose of boldness is required if we want our lives to change. It is the kickstart to living a life of being free from fear.
(A Scrapbook Page that I made, reminding me about being bold.)
7 Winning Life Tips from Top Financial Alchemists
Financial alchemists are those with the ability to make gold of their investments. They appear to have the Midas touch. And we all clamor to learn their winning strategies.

Successful financial alchemists have a lot in common, in terms of mindset, that we can also learn from. Knowing what these are can help us beat any financial market – whether they are trending upwards or downwards!

How to Handle Toxic Relationships
Toxic relationships are those which have become extreme. You experience a sense of dread, misery, illness and nervous energy, whenever you have to handle people with toxic energy. They can be people in the office, friends or even family members.
Toxic people are either skilled in poking holes or dampening your aura. You cannot help but feel affected by their energy. It is possible to feel energetically drained even after a mere 10 minutes with them. I recall myself having to make excuses to go to the bathroom repeatedly, whenever a particular friend with lots of negative energy come over for a visit. My article today shares 25 ways on handling toxic relationships.
How to Identify and Change Your Limiting Money Beliefs
The thing is that in order to change our negative beliefs, we need to be able to first identify what they are. The obvious ones are easy to address. Because we already know what these are. But how do we identify the rest that are hidden in our subconscious?
I received a question about changing limiting money beliefs from D Smith, a reader to my newsletter, a week ago. His experience is a very common one. In his email, Smith asked….

How to Be Positive All The Time
And so, you have bought a number of books and programs about how to be positive. You understand what the law of attraction says, that like attracts like. You know how important it is to be feeling good so that your vibrations are positive. You have dedicated time to saying affirmations – all 101 of them. You try your level best to be in an uplifted state. Yet…..somehow…..there are still periods when you feel like crap.
(Picture painting from my personal journal, “How to Be Positive”)
Certainly, life has changed ever since you started taking an interest on your personal growth. But you are still having on-going challenges. The thing is that as you tune into thoughts about your current situation and instead of feeling even mildly positive, you begin to sink into despair. So what’s that about keeping your vibrations up?

70 Ways For Self Care
Self care is an act of loving yourself.
Any act of self care is to nourish your mind, body or spirit. Whatever it is, you do something nurturing. You don’t put off from taking a needed break or having some me-time. You create a better relationship with self.
Self care is taking care of your inner home. And obviously, you do not wreck yourself apart when you undertake self-care. This means that you don’t give excuses for feeling tired, crying or going for an expensive pedicure. You please yourself rather than others. Very importantly, you do not experience guilt, shame or blame. So it may mean eating more, less or having an indulgence every now and then. You take a balanced approach to overall holistic well-being.
Inner Alchemy Through Life Lessons
So you have experiencing situations that show up your low self confidence?
You are a subject of constant emotional abuse since 3 years old?
Been dumped for the 7th time?
Been betrayed by your unfaithful spouse?
Engaged in daily fights with your family members?
(I keep myself contemplative via creative reminders of my life lessons!)
Well, all these situations can potentially hold life lessons for us. The thing is that if we do not build some awareness to their underlying meanings, we would have missed out on the gems. We would be simply reacting, avoiding and distracting ourselves from the true heart of the matter. We would merely be looking at the wrappings without knowing that there are treasures inside.
