What Makes You Stand Out in a Crowded World: Personal Branding Congruency
What exactly is congruency and what makes a person congruent? Congruency in both online and offline is an environment when all different parts of a thing and/or person come together to form a state of agreement and harmony. Being congruent is to be in total sync with one’s non-verbal and verbal communication. In this case, it is the coming together of an individual’s various parts involving what they say (verbal communication) with how they behave (non-verbal communication) and how others form a perception about them based on the aforementioned factors. Congruence is something that highlights the connection on how one relates their thoughts to their actions. A congruent person is…

Deconstructing The Ideology of Stress in 3 Easy Steps
Any form of resistance leads to stress. Stress is not good or bad in itself. It’s just a way to describe the patters of resistance and adaptation any living organism goes through. But we have transformed stress into an ideology: stress is an all-pervasive evil force that ultimately gives us heart-attacks. Stress is bad, stress is a big no-no, stress is the root of all evil and will ultimately kill us. The ideology around stress has made it into a perfect scape-goat too: I’m moody because I am stressed I am burned out because I am stressed I am angry because of stress I am sick because of stress I…

Dating With Mental Illness- An Interview with Jim Leftwich, Founder Of NoLongerLonely.com
Thank you so much for joining us, Jim. Can you tell us the “backstory” about what brought you to this specific career path? In the early days of the internet, I had tinkered with creating websites and always found that enjoyable. One day in 2004 I googled “Mental Illness and Dating” and found nothing, so I thought this should exist. I hired some programmers on the cheap to code it (mistake). Over the years and after finding a competent affordable American coder, the site has morphed from a hobby to a full-fledged business. My initial desire to create the site was both philanthropic and driven by profit. I feel blessed…

Your LIFE Breeds Content, and CONTENTMENT in the ARTS
Art and life require problem solving. Great art, like a fullfilling life, must meet both ups and downs, joy and sorrow, black and white in a way that requires creative solutions to find hope in the bad, and amplify our feelings of joy and gratitude in the good. Though our environment and the outside world provide endless inspiration for creative expression, it is how this information is “digested” by your creative sensitivities that makes it personal. Ha? A tree is a tree is a tree. Or is it? Well, there are many kinds of trees and one can photograph a tree and this is one way to express yourself. But…

Living Skillfully by Removing Foolishness
My first thought was to title this article “avoiding foolishness” however that would be insinuating that foolishness can be completely avoided, which would make us perfect… and since perfection is something none of us have fully achieved, I would be setting you, my reader up for failure… hoping to accomplish something that cannot be accomplished in this world. Therefore, if we can learn how to remove foolishness from our lives and make the removal part of our skillset that we employ regularly, then we can reduce the times and the seasons of foolishness, since we would be making better decisions. One common thread throughout the living skillfully series of articles…

INTROVERTS: How to unleash the power of the thinkers in your workplace.
What do Albert Einstein, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Mahatma Gandhi, Eleanor Roosevelt, Charles Darwin, J.K. Rowling and Rosa Parks have in common? They are all people who made an impact on their world. They are also introverts. In today’s corporate boardrooms, they might be completely overlooked and go unnoticed. In previous centuries our culture valued quiet integrity and introspection. However, in today’s culture the emphasis on personality and striving to be noticed has propelled a certain type of person to be valued. That person speaks fast, loud and a lot. They think while they are speaking. This is the extrovert. The introvert, who articulates their ideas in their mind before…

Do You Need a Social Media Check Up?
The first time I ever thought about the potential negative effects of social media use was when a friend and I were discussing her widowed daughter. Lisa’s husband had died in a tragic accident, and she was grieving by spending hours alone in her bedroom, scrolling through her social media feed. My friend was worried because instead of being comforted by her social media, Lisa seemed to be getting more depressed as time went on. “Do you think spending hours looking at all of these happy families on social media could actually be making her feel worse?” she asked. That conversation was 10 years ago, before we had research linking…

Be Courageous on Your Journey With Love
Falling in love takes courage especially after experiencing deep romantic heartbreaks. Some may even say heartbreak is one of the deepest and most scarring wounds. With that many of us, including myself, as we close past relationships and embark to explore new flames and potential relationships we enter with much more guarded hearts. Saying a subconscious and conscious narrative: “I do not want to be hurt again. I am taking this one slow.” I personally found myself further thinking “Yes, being guarded is healthy. I am being smart and cautious, which is the right adult thing to do.” However, as I thought these words something did not feel quite right.…
