Here we are!

Well fellow web readers, We have arrived at another New Year. Tell me what are your goals for the year. What do you want to accomplish. One thing I am currently trying to understand better is this presupposition:

Every behavior is useful in some context.

Although it may not be useful in the moment. I have a close friend that is very sharp tongued and I am trying to understand why this happens. This person is a very kind and loving person but that piercing attitude is very limiting for this person.

If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude.

"Maya Angelou"

I have been busy catching up on paperwork from the year in which I had neglected due to my busy schedule. I also have slowed down on my blogging. I have managed to successfully negotiate a football pool. Surprisingly enough I know nothing about football pools.... I enjoy football, I would just rather play then watch.

In training my two students are doing great on is actually my teachers student. The other is my student. We are currently studying the defensive postures and katas.

My online trainer program is increasing in numbers I hope to grow it to 25 before the first quarter. I will let you know how my progress is. Along with that if you want to try out my trainer program. Send me an email with a subject line of I want online training tell me you read my blog and I will get you set up for one month for FREE.

That is it for now web warriors see you again soon.

Almost Christmass

Can you believe it is that time again. I am up in the AM listening to Jason Mraz boy could some people really use some music during this season. I also am listening to the TV. The education summit in aspen.

What is it with the holiday season? The rush of having to buy a gift or the want to buy a gift? Can anyone tell me. If it was the having to buy a gift I can see why people are in a rush and aggravated. I get a pretty good feeling of people just from being around them so when I have someone in a rush behind me they can just about push me over. I was standing in amazon picking up a few gifts a guy looked at me with ten heads when i let him pass me in line because I was looking at a kiosk. The young man that ended up behind me was in such a rush. I had to physically pick myself up and stand up straight. He finally got to the register before the girl could say anything he said I dont want anything no bag either just give me my stuff. I was like okay no hello no nothing. Shame this is supposed be 2 weeks where happiness and joy should be spread throughout the community. Not about monetary gifts the joy and happiness are the real gifts. How far has our world moved from being spiritual people to just being Human Cattle.

Driving home was a whole nother deal. Why do people disregard any common courtesy is beyond me. I came out got into what the corect lane to make the turn was. Unfortunately there is a mall turn lane which got turned into a straight lane for the next turn. Fine instead holding up an already lon line of traffic I bypassed it to the next turn I could take as I sat there waiting to pass through two lanes of traffic that was a standing line of steel. one car pulled forward and so did the next one. That would be fine however they cannot go anywhere!!! They are stuck in traffic. Finally I had a hole to go through and this guy like I am cutting him off starts letting his car creep forward. I let my clutch out and could have cared less I think I gave him a disappointed nod and fit my truck through the now shoe box opening and headed home a 5 minute ride was 45 minutes. Unbelievable.

I give it to all you holiday warriors who put up with all that frustration and to all the shopkeepers that deal with it day in and day out.

Sunday we ended up getting back to normal.

The Christmas season is upon us I have some shopping to do this week. Hopefully all will go well. I have a few vacation days to burn up or I loose them.

Life Coaching
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Gerard_O'Donovan]Gerard O'Donovan

There is a new phenomenon sweeping the U.K. which is helping people not only to achieve, earn, and do more but also to lead a more balanced and holistic life. It's called 'Personal Life Coaching' and it really does help individuals be all that they want to be.

As with so many things this concept started in the U.S.A. in the late eighties. Following on from the once popular consultants and therapists, it has become the 'personal coach' who will now help sort out your personal and professional life. This new type of advisor will strategise with you in weekly sessions, either in person, on the phone or via email.

Coaching started out as a way to help frenzied entrepreneurs and corporate executives cope with a life that seemed to be careering out of control. As reported by the British Journal of Administrative Management coaching 'takes a holistic view of the individual' ensuring that work, corporate values, personal needs and career development are made to work in synergy and not against each other. However, what started as a 'corporate client' service has now become a valuable tool for any individual wanting to improve their life.

Borne out of the competitive pressures of today's economy as well as the struggle to find balance in the frantic pace of modern life this Personal Life Coaching is now rapidly attracting devotees in Britain. CEOs, entrepreneurs, professionals, people in career transition and many others grappling with life issues are all turning to this new 'tool' to guide them through life's difficulties and help raise them above the 'fog' to the clear heights of peace and self-satisfaction. There are now hundreds of coaches across the country and it is forecast that by the year 2004 it will be as common to have a coach as it is to have a personal fitness trainer.

Coaching is a very powerful, collaborative relationship between the coach and a willing individual, which facilitates that individual, through the process of discovery, goal setting and strategic action-planning, in the realisation of an extraordinary result. It is also a body of knowledge, a technology and a style of relating that focuses on the development of that human's potential.

More and more people are tired of the frenzied, technological information age that we live in and are interested in a higher quality of life. Life where you have more time for yourself and your relationships, with more energy to invest in your emotional, physical and spiritual well-being. Whether you are a corporate executive working sixty hours a week, a single parent trying to raise a family or someone who is just tired of feeling stressed out and pressed for time, you have a choice about how to live your life. You can step back, re-evaluate your priorities and make a conscious decision about the future you would like to create.

Just as you would turn to the local gym or personal trainer if your body were out of shape, now you can hire a personal coach to improve the quality of your life. With their help you can shape up your life and overcome all the obstacles that get in the way of living the life you want - like hiring a personal trainer for your soul!

One might ask why a coach is needed, rather than a partner, best friend or work colleague. Quite simply it is because of the qualification, professionalism and experience of the person to whom you are talking - and the FREEDOM with which you can speak.

Most of us have experienced the desire to have a kind of heart to heart with someone who really understands workplace challenges, family demands, the need for love and job satisfaction and the importance of personal space. It is imperative that this 'sounding board' is a person to whom you can offload ALL of your thoughts, fears, ideas and aspirations. Often discussion with a loved one or work colleague can be restrained for any number of reasons - concern for their feelings, fear of displaying weakness, reluctance to share good, but perhaps unformulated, ideas or the unwillingness to disclose a secret.

One reason for the high demand for coaches and coaching comes from the increasing number of entrepreneurs, infopreneurs and self employed people seeking to be successful in an extremely competitive market place. It is now recognised that the right coach gives the professional or business owner a major and competitive advantage. It is estimated that over the last ten years well over a quarter of a million people in the United States have been coached. This phenomenon is now here and running in the United Kingdom and any businessperson or entrepreneur who wants to get ahead, who wants to have a major and dramatic competitive advantage will have their own personal coach.

The value and success of this 'tool' has been seized upon by hundreds of corporations worldwide including IBM, Ernst and Young, Deloitt Touche, Lucent Technologies, AT & T, Phyzer, Dupont, Delta Faucet, Kodak, Rodale, the FAA, Globe Business Services, Caterpillar Financial, JC Penny and Telus. All of these corporations have recognised the key differential between training and coaching - they each have their value but are distinctly different. A very interesting article published in the Public Personnel Management in the winter of 97 revealed a study done by the International Personal Management Association where training alone was compared with coaching combined with training. The study showed that training alone increased productivity by 22.4% while training plus coaching increased productivity by a massive 88 %.

Coaching contracts vary to some degree but generally a client will work with a coach for between six and twelve months for a monthly fee, which covers four weekly sessions. There are no additional charges and the coach does not take a percentage or a contingency- type fee or award.

Very simply, people hire a coach because they want MORE of something (money, time, happiness, success, freedom) or LESS of something (frustration, toleration, delays, procrastination). A coach is trained to work with a client on both personal and business goals as opposed to a therapist who works on issues- there is a huge difference. Having set those goals the coach will help you implement them and stay by your side until their completion. So the question is "Would you like to change your life? Do you want more time for yourself? Would you like to take better care of your health, reduce stress and create more balance in your life?". The answer is to hire a coach.

Very soon the question will be not "Do you have a coach?" but
"Who is your coach?"

Do you need help getting your life on track??

Well it is definitely the holiday season

Good morning web users,

It is Tuesday December 2nd 2008. WOW, the year is almost complete. Did you accomplish your goals. Have you even set any goals. I have one more to complete. I hope to accomplish this. I had so much to do this year. Between school and training down time has been to a minimum. What have I accomplished. I have finished a few personal defense courses a couple fitness courses. I have traveled to Japan and completed my Go-Dan (5th level) test. Did some outstanding training. Next year my goals consist of buying a house increasing my life coaching business. Maybe a trip back to Japan. Straighten out all my training notes. Increasing my training partners by 100 percent. Perhaps you just don't know how to set a goal. Do you know how to stick to a goal? Can you break the goal up into smaller achievements?

First sit down or however you are comfortable and start writing down all the things you would like to accomplish. Now look at the list and choose the one that interests you the most. What do you need in addition to what you already know to accomplish this goal is it monetary, time, or something else.

How can you get to this GOAL this is your planing stage. How long will it take for you to accomplish this goal. I know when I plane my trip to Japan it costs around $3500.00 dollars for the trip. I divide up the months till I go wich is about 15 months. That means I need to bank $233.00 a month for the trip 3500 divided by 15 months. That is a lot of money a month depending on your budget you may need to extend the trip further out. For this goal we want a plan to finish something the coming year. You can have more than one goal I usually have two or three going at the same time and as I complete one I get busy on another.

Next I always write my goal down and keep it close by so when the going gets tough I can remind myself what I am trying to accomplish. Sometimes it means doing odd jobs and sometimes it means putting up with people who I normally would not associate with. I also put in checkpoints if it is a big goal and break those check points up to make sure I am on target if it is a year goal i make sure I check it every 3 months. 3 x 4 = 12. You can make more or less most important is to make sure you stay on track.

Speaking of being on track, did you know that is the job of a Life Coach to keep you on track. I love that part of my job. I am the checkpoint for my clients.

If you need help accomplishing a goal or need additional information please contact me. I can help you come up with a goal or accomplish one.

The Power Behind Writing Down Your Goals

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Susan_Velez]Susan Velez

What is the power behind writing down your goals? Believe it or not it is a very powerful process to be able to see your goals written out on paper. However even though this is a powerful and very effective form to assist you on reaching your goals, and helps us realize what we are striving for.

The power behind writing down your goals is to give you a road map to follow, kind of like a "honey do list." On the list you write down all the things you would like to accomplish. As the list remains in front of you, it is a constant reminder of what it is you wish to accomplish.

This scenario is true and works the same for your goals. The power behind writing down your goals, is they stay on your mind and in front of you at all times. If you do not write them down, chances are you will easily forget about them. Have you ever experienced the "out of sight - out of mind" phenomenon? If we do not have a constant reminder of things we wish to be do have, we tend to easily forget about them.

Okay now that you understand the power behind writing down your goals, you must come to understand that you must begin to learn how to begin dreaming about your goals. It is not like going to sleep at night and when we awaken in the morning we do not remember what we dreamed about.

This is the kind of dreaming they did not like you doing in school. It is kind of like going back to being a kid again, as you begin to understand the power behind writing down your goals, and you begin writing down things that are important to you and you would like to achieve. You will learn how to begin dreaming about them - also known as visualization. One of the easiest ways to dream about yourself owning a new house or a new car is to find pictures of things that resemble what you would like.

Take for instance you wish to have a new car; let's say a Lexus SC, you would either find a picture online or a magazine and create a vision board. As you create a collage of pictures of what you wish to accomplish, and full begin to understand the power behind writing down your goals and using the visualization process. You will begin to enjoy the process of creating what you desire.

One tip to remember is the more specific you can get with your goal writing, it will help you immenseley. It will also assist you to be able to visualize your goals with feelings and emotions.

For your benefit begin to understand the power behind writing down your goals and begin immediately to put your goals down on paper. Let's begin to achieve our goals together, I believe that we can live a more powerful life. You can check out what I use to help me keep my goals in front of me, by visiting my website.

Tuesday almost turkey day

Morning all,

Well we are off to a great holiday start. Thanksgiving is upon us. Also the wonderful Holiday shopping season. The aggressive driving, Rude people, and people who care only about themselves. Please be careful in the following weeks. As the stressed out masses are combing the shopping centers for gifts that they feel they must buy for some of the family they see once a year. My wife and I were adventuring out this weekend to take care of our normal weekend duties. Mainly to the mailbox and then food shopping. She manage to get cut off twice and honked at once. I had to explain to her that "tis the season" and to relax and just move along with it. Remember we can only control 50 percent of the interaction with other individuals even when operating our motor vehicles. We have to be in control of our car in hopes to be safe when others are not operating in a safe manner. Please be safe and have a wonderful and happy holiday season.

Life Coaching - What is It?

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Scott_Shute]Scott Shute

A coach is there to help us live the life we really want.

A traditional sports coach is there to help an athlete fine tune their game to perfection. In the same way, a life coach helps fine tune a person's approach to life.

In the high stakes world of professional sports, virtually every top competitor works with a coach. Even Tiger Woods, the most dominant golfer of this generation, still works with a coach. Of course Tiger knows how to play the game, probably better than anyone on the planet. In a match versus his coach, Tiger would win nearly every time. So what benefit does he get from a coach? Tiger's coach is there to pick up on things that Tiger himself can't see. The coach is there to bounce ideas off of. He's there to challenge Tiger, perhaps to push him further than he would push himself naturally.

All the same traits are true of a life coach. Of course we all know how to live. We've made it this far, right? How many of us can say that we are living perfect lives? Or that we are living to our full potential? A life coach is there to ask us questions that we might not think of ourselves, to challenge the patterns and approaches that we've established. A coach is there to listen to our dreams and cheer us on. A coach is there to shine a light on our way of doing things to say "Is that really what you want"

What would life be like if all of us had a coach?

"Aristotle"

Life Coach - Align and Redirect

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Mathew_Ferry]Mathew Ferry

Miracles is just unexpected and unexplainable good fortune! As you align yourself with your environment, with the people in your life ,and with the situations you find yourself in...things instantly get better! Consider there is not resistance out there in the world! All the resistance you are experiencing is inside of you...it's your perception! So just give it up. Align with your life, make it right, declare it perfect, and then redirect it in the direction you want to go.

Notice how you are beginning to roll with life, even now. Having come this far in the Being Unstoppable seminar means you are developing the muscle of acceptance. You are learning to accept the situation as it is and then move from there. Just practice saying "Perfect...Now what?"

Because you are practicing accepting situations, you naturally find yourself declaring situations perfect. Your car gets stolen, you say "Perfect, I must need a new car," Your big deal falls apart before your eyes and you say, "Perfect, I'm making space for the biggest deal of my life."

Practice Alignment Phrases for this week:

1. This must be the perfect place to be...
2. I wonder what I'm going to learn from this?
3. I'm so excited about this breakdown!

Align yourself with life, declare everything perfect, stay calm and notice how powerfully the next steps come! Question: How do you know if something is perfect or not? Declare it perfect and it is. You are the creator of your experience. Your language, your perspective, and your actions create reality. The Drunk Monkey hates declaring things perfect, because The Drunk Monkey prefers the suffering of being the victim. Give that up, accept the situation as it is and watch the magic happen!!!

Just be unstoppable today!

Are You In Need of a Personal Life Coach?

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Cynndie_Hoff]Cynndie Hoff

Many people these days have a personal life coach. They probably talk about how wonderful their spiritual life coach or their personal trainer life coach or their online life coach is, and how their life coach has helped them achieve so much success. Could you benefit from having a personal life coach? It's possible, but a life coach isn't for everyone. To understand if you could benefit from hiring one, you need to understand a few things about what a life coach is and how they can and can't help you.

A personal life coach isn't a cure all to your problems. A coach is able to help you see where you are in life and will help you to find to discover where you want to go in the future. Many life coach techniques are used for the simple purpose of getting a person to be honest about their current situation in life and understand what kind of work is necessary to move ahead. Getting in touch with reality is something many of us struggle with. A personal life coach doesn't simply wave a magic wand and make everything better. You must work with your life coach to make sure you're both getting what you need.

That, in a nutshell, is what a personal life coach does. Knowing that, how do you decide if hiring a personal life coach is the right choice? It's hard to say, because it is such a personal choice. If you're looking at your life issues and saying, "I need some help to get over this", then hiring a personal life coach may be just what you need. However, if you're pleased with your life and you already understand how to get to where you want to go, then it may not be the time for a personal life coach.
