Make Valentine’s Day About You

Valentines’ Schmalentines

It is upon us again, the “day of the lovers.” If you are married and in a relationship, you’ll tend to look forward to it; well, unless your other half forgets about it altogether. However, being single on Valentine’s Day just seems to be a major issue for most; and for the life of me, I don’t get why.

Let’s start with the obvious. The obligatory bunch of flowers and box of chocolate hardly tells you if someone loves you. Yes, I believe it is the thought that counts and as such, I am disappointed when I am forgotten, but then, that depends on how busy my husband is and what he’s going through. There are times when one simply doesn’t have the time to think about a holiday made up by some marketing person. Read the rest of this entry »

Robot Psychics Take India by Storm

Mechanical, Pre-Recorded Psychics Pop Up at Indian Fairs

This has to be, hands down, the strangest piece of news I’ve read this month.

A fleet of robotic fortune tellers have been deployed to various places in India, where those interested can plug in a pair of earphones and listen to pre-recorded bits of wisdom. They have the body of Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots and are painted in Iron Man’s colors. I wonder if they’re a hit?

Discover reports:

As technology marches ever onward, robots have taken on more and more of life’s necessary jobs: heavy lifting, precise mechanical manipulations, and, of course, predicting the future.

Peppering the fairs and festivals of India, striking in their boldly colored if battered armor, are a fleet of robots that are part fortune cookie, part street-corner psychic. These bots wait in perpetual readiness to dispense their pre-programmed wisdom, and for only 5 rupees or so, the robot’s handler will allow you to plug a pair of headphones into its metallic underpants and listen as it tells your fortune.

Change Failure to Possibility

Psychic Angel Helps You Transform Failures into Positives

Psychic Angel ext. 9266 is a natural born psychic who has survived two near-death experiences. In addition to her clairsentient, clairvoyant, and clairaudient skills, she is also a strong empath. She is very sensitive to people who feel like there’s no way out from failure. Her perspective helps her callers tap into their personal power and move on from wanting to give up. As she says in the video, “It’s kind of like the light at the end of the tunnel… do whatever you can to see that light.”

When we’re confronted with the looming sense of having failed, it can be very difficult to look for that light at the end of the tunnel, and very easy to want to stay sunken in the depths of disappointment, regret, and self-doubt. But this is the time when it is most essential to dig deep and trust that we can get through this challenge, and look to the light to guide our path ahead. Angel says “It’s ok to go through down times… [but] you have to grow from it, and you also have to figure out what do you want from that failure, and where do you want to go to?” Read the rest of this entry »

Jealousy Destroys Your Life

February 2, 2012 at 12:00 am
By S.K. Smith

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 »

Let it Out–Why Are You So Angry Inside?

January 30, 2012 at 12:00 am
By Carmen Honacker

Handle Negative Emotions Constructively

Nowadays, we’re not supposed to be angry. It isn’t good to be angry, because we are civilized people, who should be able to deal with our emotions in a constructive, non-threatening and non-confrontational manner. Of course, this results in a whole bunch of passive aggressive BS, backstabbing, talking behind another’s back and, of course, pent up rage, which then unfolds in people “losing it.”

I find nothing wrong with confronting people; quite on the contrary. I am absolutely sick to death of toxic nicety, sugarcoating, beating around the bush and pretentious cowards who run their mouth behind another’s back while never once confronting anyone. And this brings me to the fact that there are plenty of things I am angry about. Read the rest of this entry »

Speak Up: Will They Change for You?

January 28, 2012 at 12:00 am
By Carmen Honacker

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

January 27, 2012 at 12:00 am
By Holly Allender Kraig

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.

Survive a Confidence Crash

January 27, 2012 at 12:00 am
By Taryn Galewind

Regain Your Self-Confidence and Self-Love

If you don’t love yourself, it’s impossible to love anyone else. Self-confidence, feeling that you are truly terrific and a very special person, is key to self-love. However, there isn’t a human who hasn’t suffered a flaming crash of confidence at one time or another.

You lose your job. You fail in a project that means the world to you. You and your best friend have a huge falling out. Your love life turns to dust. What do you do when you want to paint a big red “L” for loser on your forehead? Toss the paintbrush, and nurse yourself back to confidence health. Read the rest of this entry »
