					  <description><![CDATA[By learning to appreciate our challenges and see the opportunities in them, we take our power back from the situations and circumstances of our lives. Our ability to appreciate difficulties, learn from them, and use them to our advantage, gives us an important insight into who we really are and how to create success and fulfillment in a conscious and deliberate way. <br/>]]></description>

					  <link>http://www.refresher.com/mindfulnetwork/articlelive/articles/108/1/Not-Getting-Results/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[In my profession, I do a lot of coaching. Not just fitness coaching, but life coaching. I help individuals discover why they are having problems and how to solve them quickly to create the results they want in their life. Most of the time people think that if things look &#8220;bad&#8221; it&#8217;s because of luck or genes or circumstances outside their control. You might hear them saying, &#8220;I didn&#8217;t have money growing up&#8221; or &#8220;my parents were overweight&#8221; or &#8220;I have kids and don&#8217;t have time.&#8221; But, the first step in making changes is really understanding that everything starts with you. You are going to create a life either by design or by default. So, to create what you want in your life, follow these three simple steps.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[&#8220;Drink responsibly,&#8221; reads the ad for a Kentucky whiskey. But the big headline and alluring photos in the advertisement scream &#8220;buy our product&#8221; and imply they want us to drink it. Do they fear they may get sued if customers get loaded and hurt themselves or others so they add this message to protect themselves? Does it serve as a sort of disclaimer? Or are they good corporate citizens concerned that people will overindulge unless they include the admonition? Admonition or disclaimer, the words remind me that some of us are not responsible in the way we consume. And it applies to many things not just alcohol.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[<strong>How I Express My Personal Purpose</strong> <br/>
<div align="justify"><span lang="EN-CA">Continually peeling back the layers of who we are is a life long effort. It's the leadership process of becoming. Our own inner space is as vast as outer space. If we're going to continue to deepen and grow, it's our own never ending discovery trek.</span></div>]]></description>

					  <title><![CDATA[Our Fair Brains]]></title>
					  <link>http://www.refresher.com/mindfulnetwork/articlelive/articles/87/1/Our-Fair-Brains/Page1.html</link>
					  <description><![CDATA[Neuroscientists have been conducting experiments for over 25 years on what happens in our brains when we experience something as being fair or not fair. <br/><br/>This is interesting research. So often we see people become demotivated and not perform to their best because they perceive an unfairness eg: that someone is getting paid more than they should; that someone has a promotion that they didn't deserve; that someone got the blame or bore the brunt of management's wrath for something that wasn't their fault; that someone was asked to stay back late at work. <br/><br/>Demotivation means lower levels of commitment, lower productivity, poor energy levels and as for creativity, innovation and initiative - well, what do you think? ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[Have you downshifted and yet still spend your days racing against the clock? One of the bug bears of many of my clients is this: they manage to leave the rat race, to reduce their working hours, to balance their working lives with their personal lives, to find work doing something they truly love BUT they still feel stressed and pressurised because of their attitude to time. Why is this?]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[<strong>Slow Down and Enjoy the Ride</strong> <br/><br/>Do you ever feel like you're rushing around so fast or trying so hard to get to some destination in the future that you're missing out on some really important things in the process? I know I do. In our pursuit of "success," we often forget to stop, notice, and appreciate what's happening right NOW. ]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[I don't know about you but I get frustrated with baby boomers who simply bad-mouth Gen Y employees and don't think more about why they behave the way they do. The next time a Gen Y'er frustrates you at work or at home - take a deep breath and think about the context that they are coming from - their brain physiology, their database of experiences and the matters they are fearful and worried about. It won't make them change their behaviours but it might enable you to engage your pre-frontal cortex, calm down, use your emotional intelligence, be a STAR and maximize all the great things that creative, energetic, demanding and wonderful young people offer.]]></description>

					  <description><![CDATA[A friend of mine shared with me that a coworker of his arrives at work by 8:00 a.m. each morning and never leaves before 8:00 p.m. each night; additionally, he has a one hour commute each way.   Does this person have the proper work/life balance? ]]></description>
