Jealousy Destroys Your Life

Focus Your Fury

Jealousy is subjective. What triggers your envious emotions isn’t going to trigger someone else. That’s because as individuals we have individual soft spots. And as shocking as it may seem, jealousy is rarely linked to the present situation—you know, the one you’re obsessing over like a freak! Instead, it stems from past experiences, most frequently, anger, fear and/or humiliation.

The good news is, if you can focus your fury on getting to the root of your feelings (rather than on replaying the fears consciously or subconsciously associated with the past) you can stop it from destroying your life!

Here are three tips for exploring your envious urges and eradicating them once and for all! Read the rest of this entry »

Speak Up: Will They Change for You?

Create Realistic Expectations

Patsy from Pocatello, Idaho asks:

I have met a man who has had serious alcohol related issues for years and years. Is it really possible for him to be able to stop drinking just because he meets someone he likes now?

Carmen Responds:

Dear Patsy,

First of all, anything is possible. Is it likely that he will stop drinking? No, not so much.

People don’t stop an addiction because of someone else; at least not usually. Also, it is never a good idea to enter into any relationship in hopes that the other is going to change. This will only result in disappointment and resentment. If you want a relationship with this man, you do need to consider if you can stay with him the way he is right now!

Video: 3 Steps to Pursue Your Dreams

It is All About You and Your Dream

Recently, I decided to pursue my dream to get two books published. Although I’ve worked in the publishing industry for a long time, I know it’s not an easy task to accomplish. However, once I set my mind to accomplish this, it’s amazing what cleared out of the way for me to do so. Following advice from Psychic Gelsomina ext. 5354, I know I will achieve my dreams!

1. Stay Where You Are

As Gelsomina says in the video, don’t quit your day job. If you can handle staying put in your current job while you attain your dream, do it. If you can’t, find a new position where you can feel satisfied that you can divide your time between work and your dream. Treat your job like it’s just paying the bills. You’ll find yourself more disconnected and less invested, than if you think it is your career. If you disconnect from work, you’ll have more energy to do what you want to achieve your dreams.

6 Procrastination Busters

By LJ Innes

Tips to Get Moving On

The one thing a perfectionist and a lazy person have in common is procrastination. The perfectionist always wants to do it perfectly or not at all, and the lazy person just keeps putting things off. Believe it or not, both types of thinking can lead to procrastination which can eventually lead to feelings of being over-burdened, overwhelmed and even agitated.

Thomas Jefferson said, “Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.” By putting things off, you may be buying time in the present, but it may leave you scrambling later when more things pop up.

Here are six procrastination busters that will get you moving when you need to so you can relax when you want to. Read the rest of this entry »

Follow Your True Bliss

What Are the Important Things In Your Life?

As I am looking back on the year that’s just passed, I cannot help but wonder if we haven’t gotten it all wrong. I feel guilty for having gotten stuck in the rat race that is called Los Angeles; always having to have the newest gadget, the newest technological crap, keeping up with the proverbial Jones’ and feeling no closer to fulfillment than when I sat out to beat “being poor.”

I remember growing up with awful Christmases, usually defined by people crying or fighting. I remember being so poor that my mother sat there crying because she couldn’t buy us any gifts and yet, still anxiously awaiting the “Christkind” in its sleigh, riding on a shooting star, straight down to our apartment, being heard miles away due to all the bells ringing. And then one small bell would ring and we’d run into the living room and not care at all at the utter lack of presents. We were thrilled at haven gotten one present. We never got to make lists. We always got to choose one. Read the rest of this entry »

6 Steps to Regret-Proof Your Life

January 11, 2012 at 12:00 am
By S.K. Smith

Create a Future Without Past Regrets

If you’re tired of looking back and feeling badly about the decisions you’ve made, things you’ve said, people you’ve dated or goals you’ve set, you’re not alone. And what better time than the beginning of the year for turning over a new leaf. After all, while you’ll always make mistakes on occasion, and you certainly can’t change the past, you can ensure yourself a future without regret!

1. Listen to Your Gut

We’re all blessed with intuition. Even if we’re not psychic, we have instant reactions to people, questions and situations. It sounds so simple, but listening to that inner voice is the key to looking back on life with a sense of completion rather than nagging regrets. Learn to listen when you sense what’s good (or bad) for you, even if you don’t “know” it intellectually. Translation: does a date make you feel uncomfortable or nervous excitement? Does the prospect of a job bring about eagerness or dread? There’s a difference. Don’t talk yourself out of your instincts. Read the rest of this entry »

A Psychic Reading is Like A Massage

January 5, 2012 at 12:00 am
By Holly Allender Kraig

Use Knowledge to Break Free

When my body is sore, stressed and tense, I go to a massage therapist. When my mind is tense, confused or stressed, I go to a psychic. After a massage, my body relaxes and I feel better. After talking to a psychic, my mind is at ease knowing the next steps and what is ahead. It’s that simple. It’s a matter of using the right tool at the right time.

As a massage therapist myself, I enjoy finding out what is hurting my client. Many times, someone will come to me with an injury or pulled muscle. And they’ve had it for days or weeks, even. Why they hung onto this pain unnecessarily is a mystery to me. However, there is a certain amount of joy knowing that I am easing pain and helping to solve their problem. When the session is over, I can see in their eyes relief and relaxation. The pain may not be completely gone, but they feel better and are on their way to healing. Read the rest of this entry »

A New Look at Selfishness

January 4, 2012 at 12:00 am
By Theresa Danna

Love to Love Yourself

In the Christian Bible, we are told that Jesus taught the commandment to “love your neighbor as yourself.” The part about loving your neighbor is clear to most people; it is generally accepted that being kind and respectful to others is a virtue. But the part about loving ourselves confuses some people. Isn’t loving yourself considered selfish?

Redefining Selfishness

In his book The Art of Selfishness, David Seabury defines selfishness as “looking after your own needs so that no one else will have to.” And Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of the bestselling book Love, Medicine & Miracles, explains how self-love is the essence of good health: “The extent to which we love ourselves determines whether we eat right, get enough sleep, smoke, wear seat belts, exercise, and so on.” Read the rest of this entry »
