This month’s newsletter asks the question: How do we differentiate between taking care of ourselves and our needs (self-love, some would call it) and egotistically indulging ourselves? The article on anger also asks whether can imagine actually befriending this usually unwanted emotion, and the quiz helps you assess your tendency to blame rather than take responsibility. All juicy stuff! For comments, questions or responses to this newsletter, please click here. Messages using the reply button will be deleted.

Beyond the Box


The Inner Virtue of Selfishness

Modern culture prizes selflessness and abhors selfishness, in effect setting the two against each other. “The alternatives are either to love others, which is a virtue, or to love oneself, which is a sin,” wrote social scientist and philosopher... full story here


Self QuizAre You Playing the Blame Game?
When things go wrong, blame is an easy way of taking the spotlight off ourselves and shining it on others. From the first excuse we used as a child, shifting blame often becomes an all-purpose gadget in our toolbox of defenses, so handy we oftent... full story here
Befriending Anger
Anger is the unannounced visitor that keeps dropping by, again and again. Some of us hide, hoping this troublesome guest will go away. Others of us let it take over, turning our home into a nightly rage-fest, one that leaves us ... full story here
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY READERS!

Is 2006 the year you want to increase the amount of love you have in your life? Read below our clients testimonials of how coaching changed their lives.

HEALTH: Loving your body

"I read a journal entry I made almost a year ago right before we started coaching together and I almost can't believe I am the same person! I no longer dwell in unproductive states or unhelpful places in my past. Now I am generally balanced, incredibly productive, and wholly optimistic about life and my amazing future. Coaching has shown me how to have the life I always wanted, the two most significant changes for me are the lifting away of my food addiction/obsession and the accompanying unexpected spiritual growth. I am moving up to a spiritual level in my life that I always envied in other people.”

—Jenn, Lawyer, NY

RELATIONSHIPS: loving your self more deeply and creating loving relationships with others.

"My heart's desire was to have a loving relationship with a great guy who loved and respected and saw me for who I was. Through the coaching process, I got clear about what I wanted and said no to settling for less. Through self-love and clarity about who I wanted to be with and who I needed to be to attract that person, within 9 months, I married that guy!”

—Nancy, Personal Assistant, OK

CAREER: Love what you do!

"When I started coaching I was feeling unhappy with many aspects of my life. On my very first coaching session we were able to explore and discover the root causes of many things that were holding me back. In the last 9 months I have completely transformed my relationships with others, have started my own business and am really enjoying the challenges of building a business, something I was terrified of before I started coaching."

—Janice, Physical Therapist, London, England

LOVE your LIFE!

“I have not been this happy before in my life. Through coaching I have learnt tools and techniques to assess my needs as well as the needs of others, as well as powerful communication and motivation skills, relaxation techniques and most importantly how to listen to and trust my own inner counsel. I see my life now as a continuous, exciting, learning adventure. I am finally becoming the person I have always wanted to be.”

—Margy, Dept. of Forest & Fire Protection, CA
