-- Quote of the Day --  “ …Being very conscious – we tend to head back to habit; it is about making that conscious effort. Once you do, you can recognize that you are starting to feel better, and then you’ll feel excited about it. …You have to change your mindset and not just thinking of it as another thing to do on your list. It is about finding something that works for you. Guilt will sabotage your best intentions so we have to get rid of the guilt - but also accept the responsibility that for every action there is a reaction. So I think one of the biggest challenges is learning how to accept responsibility for every decision without experiencing guilt. ” ~ Denise Locsin Today's quote was taken from the Conscious Discussions Talk radio show titled: Learn Healthy Habits   ** (Click on the title to access the full interview) -- Referral Corner -- It has been quite some time since we posted recommended resources for our readers - so her...

Check out her website http://thoughtsdesigner.com , and subscribe to her monthly newsletter for more useful information. Is The Workplace Environment Affecting How Employees Work With Each Other? By Gabriela Casineanu  Yes, the workplace environment could shape the way employees work with each other! While most people become easily aware of the physical aspect of an unhealthy workplace environment, not too many pay attention to the human behaviors that could poison the workplace environment... or don't know what to do in such situations. And those behaviors could damage the workplace relationships and affect how employees work with each other. ...

-- Quote of the Day -- “… When I started out with interviews in 98 I would write out a dozen questions or more, specific meticulous questions – then it evolved into more of a conversation… These days I still write out the questions, but often we don’t even use them because I allow for spontaneity, as sense of dialogue. I want my readers to know what the person is really like, the person behind the image. I still do the research – and then I give access to the core of the person. …When we published the magazine people would come to us asking for an interview, but I am also a voracious reader and if I like the book I might reach out and contact the author or publisher for an interview. …I see writing as a way of getting thoughts out of our minds and onto paper. When I write it is usually done on a computer, because it flows more easily and I don’t have to edit. …But when you write the words out we can see what we are feeling, we realize that we thought that way, and some ...

-- Quote of the Day  -- “… Our society on a whole is in a huge transition. …What we’ve been working on in our school is helping young people realize why they want to have values in their life. When you do help other people, you do feel a joy inside – helping them find the meaning and value for their life. …It is a chaotic world to grow up in – but we can show kids that there are a lot of inspiring people out there, and that those values are inside themselves. …When children are given this, their natural learning tendencies come out. …[Teaching] isn’t just having kids memorize, or coercing them or threatening them – you really feel like you are communication with the person. Would you rather spend your time learning about things that have no meaning, or would you rather learn about generosity and other life skills? …Education is just upside down, people are blind to the fact that if you try to push kids in this direction you get alienation, you get sad...
