The Time to Begin Your Dream Is Now!

Life is now! If you wait to start your dream, you may not get a second chance. When you feel the inkling to move, then move; jump in! Accept the challenge. Make something happen. It’s all up to you.023-The Time to Begin Your Dream Is Now_720x400 [http://www.betterlivinginstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/023-The-Time-to-Begin-Your-Dream-Is-Now_720x400.png]http://www.betterlivinginstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/023-The-Time-to-Begin-Your-Dream-Is-Now_720x400.png If we don’t choose what we want, then life chooses for us. Maybe we don’t feel worthy enough to choose for ourselves; or maybe we don’t understand how to. But all of your dreaming—the seeing and planning and having—is all wasted if you never start. Join Kira and Bill Van Ittersum as they give you some solid tips to overcome some of the “blockers” that stop you from getting started on your dreams. They really want to encourage you to begin “choosing and doing” right now. Links Do It! – Let’s Get Off Our Buts by Peter McWilliams and John-Roger ©1991 by Prelude Press, Inc.

Happy Relationships Are Built On Trust

Trust is something that is essential in all relationships—whether it is a love match, a friendship, or a work partnership. We exercise trust when we marry, when we leave our children in the care of another, or when we provide services for others.022-Happy Relationships Are Built On Trust_720x400_02 [http://www.betterlivinginstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/022-Happy-Relationships-Are-Built-On-Trust_720x400_02.png]http://www.betterlivinginstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/022-Happy-Relationships-Are-Built-On-Trust_720x400_02.png We develop trust with the idea that it is a matter of integrity and good moral choice to abide by certain agreements, whether spoken or inferred. Trust is most definitely a choice. We are hurt when these agreements are broken. We will not be happy when there is a lack of trust. Join Kira and Bill Van Ittersum as they discuss how trust is built in a relationship, how to manage trust, and how to repair trust when it is broken.

If You Want to Be Happy, Get in the Flow!

What is “flow?” Professor Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi (Me-high Cheek-sent-me-high), noted as the originator of coining the name “Flow Psychology,” says, “. . . if you focus attention on anything, it is likely that you will become interested in it. Many of the things we find interesting are not so by nature, but because we took the trouble of paying attention to them.”021-If You Want to Be Happy, Get in the Flow_720x400 [http://www.betterlivinginstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/021-If-You-Want-to-Be-Happy-Get-in-the-Flow_720x400.png]http://www.betterlivinginstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/021-If-You-Want-to-Be-Happy-Get-in-the-Flow_720x400.png Flow is a mental and physical state of being where you are completely in the moment; your whole being is involved while you’re using you talents to the fullest. You become absorbed, totally involved in the activity for its own sake. Time flies; ego falls away; every action, movement, and thought “flows,” one from the next. Join Kira and Bill Van Ittersum as they talk about “Flow Psychology” and how to get into the “flow!” Using your creativity and then boosting your task into the “flow” is immensely enjoyable. Bill and Kira say that, “Being in the ‘flow’ truly leads to more happiness in your life!”

Creativity Part 6 – Clutter on the Brain!

Just like your physical body, your living space needs to be balanced. When “personal treasures” begin to overwhelm you, it’s time to de-clutter. A disorganized space creates stress that can leave you feeling overwhelmed, hopeless, and emotionally drained. Clutter is like the old saying, “too much of a good thing.”020-Creativity Part 6 - Clutter on the Brain_720x400 [http://www.betterlivinginstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/020-Creativity-Part-6-Clutter-on-the-Brain_720x400.png]http://www.betterlivinginstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/020-Creativity-Part-6-Clutter-on-the-Brain_720x400.png Clutter not only affects your ability to function joyfully, it also steals your creative powers! All of us have things that we absolutely love and we don’t want to even think of getting rid of, but are many of these things really being used? De-cluttering is often a work in progress for many of us—it’s ongoing for sure. Join Kira and Bill Van Ittersum as they talk about some of their clutter issues and offer helpful suggestions on how to de-clutter your space!

Creativity Part 5 – Balancing and Healing Your Chakras!

Just like your physical body, your seven energy centers, or chakras, can be adjusted and balanced. The benefits to a balanced “energy body” are: more vitality in mind, body, and spirit, and keeping the spiritual pathways open to receive inner intelligence, healing, and guidance. In fact, many healers say that “dis-eases” of the physical body begin with imbalances in the chakras.019-Creativity Part 5 - Balancing and Healing Your Chakras_720x400 [http://www.betterlivinginstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/019-Creativity-Part-5-Balancing-and-Healing-Your-Chakras_720x400.png]http://www.betterlivinginstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/019-Creativity-Part-5-Balancing-and-Healing-Your-Chakras_720x400.png Join Kira and Bill Van Ittersum as they describe balancing methods for each of your seven chakras, and how you can keep them in tip-top shape.
