Don’t Make Assumptions – Ask Questions

This blog post has been authored by Laura Koubenec, Reconnecting-You

Tips for intercultural couples #1

We easily assume that our loved one has similar thoughts, values, and perceptions. However, bear in mind your partner from a different culture has seen different status symbols and role models through fairy tales and movies.

He/she has grown up with different smells and spices in the kitchen, and was raised with different rules regarding respect, privacy or punctuality.

A lot of tension in intercultural couples comes down to miscommunication. So, instead of assuming you know, stay open-minded and curious.

Ask your partner directly: “what does this mean to you?”.

Examples:

What does it mean to you to get married?

What does it mean to you to involve the extended family in the decision-making process?

What does it mean to yo…

Yoga is great but it's not complete. You should practice every day But you shouldn’t do the same set of poses every day. Anything that you do repeatedly over long periods of time can lead to a repetitive stress injury (RSI). Even yoga. Yoga is great but It's missing som factors for a well rounded healthy body.Here are 3 reasons why you should yoga every day But you should train more than yoga.

Are You Joyful and Happy?

This blog post has been authored by Michelle J Howe, Empath Evolution

Are you able to consistently feel these emotions?Are you interested in uplifting your Spirit?Hopefully, your answer is yes.

Our lives are busy. Many of us lose sight to feelings and sensations unless, they are heavy and painful. The noise of distractions and our busy-ness takes away our natural ability to feel and sense finer vibrations.

Let us count the ways we get busy!1 – Social media, business agendas, and news that promotes the latest and greatest fads, innovations, clothing, foods, diets, supplements, gifts and more. These sources constantly remind or sell us products and solutions to increase our value, status, worth and success.2 – Doing, preparing, planning, socializing, and celebrating with friends, family, and others.3 – Volunteering, working, supporting and caretaking.4 – Dealing with stressful situations, commitments, deadlines, …

7 Things I Learned Going LIVE

This blog post has been authored by Susan Fessenden, ProfitLogics

Whether you want to start a business or grow a business, one thing is clear: You have to be willing to put yourself out there if you want brand recognition.I’m not a millennial (clearly) so I haven’t been broadcasting every aspect of my life out into the world since I was 10. Up until 2 month ago, my Facebook Profile was still super locked down with only a few aspects of my life or values expressed. And then, I made a decision to change things up.I realized that if I want to help thousands of small businesses grow, survive, and thrive, I would have to be more accessible and let more people get to know me. But this was very uncomfortable at first. People I’ve dated and ex-employers would all have access to see my life – where I’m living, what I’m doing, what I look like. Yikes. I had to do a big ‘Woosahh’ to overcome this discomfort. But beyond that, I would have to …

You’re Never Too Old

This blog post has been authored by Cat Janisko, The Confidence CEO

You're Never Too Old

Today, we’re talking about one of the most overused adult phrases that I absolutely *hate.* Like really-- these five words are enough to make my blood boil, and, in my field, I hear them on repeat every day from person to person.

Wanna know the five words? Maybe you’ve even said them yourself in the past...

I’m too old for that.

I cringe even having to write it! It baffles me because it’s an excuse people use to *talk themselves out* of doing something they actually, so badly want to do!

I’m too old to start my own business. I’m too old to be a parent.

I’m too old to run a marathon.

I’m too old to compete in a pageant.

Self limitations like this are instant confidence blocks. We convince ourselves to believe that what’s, in all reality, possible (even if it takes s…

How to Boost Your Immune System and Realize Perfect Health

This blog post has been authored by Britni Zandbergen-Karel, 8 Organics

We are purpose-built to be in perfect health and have total well-being.

Our immune systems are powerful bumper guards and shields of protection against all forms of negativity.

When there is disease in the body, mind or spirit, it is because we have forgotten our purpose. This forgetting causes imbalances in the system. Faulty information begins to be transmitted to our cells, and when there are too many imbalances and faulty information in our system, weakness and sickness can occur.

The intelligence of every cell in the body is beyond fathomable. Just as an acorn has all the intelligence within it to grow into a mighty oak tree, so too does every cell in our body. Your body has the Natural Intelligence within it to spread vitality, protection, and yes, perfect health.

In Ayurveda, we do not recognize “supplements” or “…

5 Reasons to Get Featured in the Media with Your Business

This blog post has been authored by Luana Ribeira, Luana Ribeira

You have the power to be able to unleash your message on a global scale and to call your people into your space. It’s right there waiting for you to tap into it.

Here are 5 reasons to get featured in the media with your business:

Build trust and authority

The biggest barrier to come between you and more sales for your business is trust. Your potential clients have got to believe that you can help them. By getting into mainstream media and being endorsed by people and brands that they already recognise, you are instantly claiming your place as the authority on your topic.

More money

A comment that my clients typically get from potential clients is “I thought your prices would be much higher, being a celebrity coach”. Being called a celebrity always makes them giggle – they are coaches & entrepreneurs who have an im…

The 5 ways my life changed after doing a daily orgasm challenge

This blog post has been authored by Nicky Thompson, Sexual Energy Coach for Women in Business

Writing about orgasms and vibrators is not something that came easily to me. However, I knew I had to write this because I WISH someone had written about this years ago so I could have read it and taken some action as it truly did change my life. This is the story that started me on my own sexual journey in my mid 30’s and is also what started my business of sexual energy coaching for women.

Before I get into all of the juicy details I want to fill you in on where my life was at when I took on this challenge. I was exhausted. I had 3 young children. I was a young mum but I felt like I had aged several decades from having 3 children. My body was unrecognisable from pregnancy, child birth, lack of sleep, surgeries, and general lack of care and maintenance. I had little energy and interest to take care of myself and would often jus…
