I had a realization this week, about where a part of me was living my life from. I was living my life through a place of thinking, "I need to make more money to be happy." At times in the past when I would make a lot of money I would feel happy, but then other times when I thought I didn't make enough I would feel very unhappy and stressed. Resulting in me making bad choices for myself.
This unhealthy definition is not something I came up with on my own, this is a belief that many people are brainwashed with through media, other people and a lot of North American culture.
The chase for wealth is a very unnatural way of living, there is so much stress associated with it because human's have a natural instinct to always want more of whatever their goal is.
One thing I have grown to understand over the years is, "Wealth is the result of my actions." So, I if I want to be wealthy I need to do the things/actions that will produce it. And with me being a very holistic minded person, I want to help people achieve their full potential.
Back to my story….
After having this realization, I decided to change my goal of my life by first asking myself the question, "How do I want to feel?"
The answer I came up with was, "Joy." So, I decided I am going to start living my life from a place of joy.
So, my next question was, "What do I need to do to create that?"
The answer my soul gave me back was, "To just be." The answer felt peaceful, joyful and loving.
I then asked myself some more specific questions.
From a work standpoint the message I received was to share how I feel and help others pinpoint exactly what they want out of their lives. When you know what you want then you can achieve it.
From a physical health standpoint I want to eat the healthiest food/diet possible for myself and do exercises and movement that make me feel good.
Emotionally: Be open and accepting of other people and their views, be kind and gentle on myself always.
Mentally: Accept that I don't know everything and ask for help.
Spiritually: Continually align myself with the highest form of unconditional love.
So, my question for you is, "Where are you living your life from?" If you're not sure how to answer that then, "What is the most common way you feel about your life?"
How you feel has a direct impact on every aspect of your life such as health, relationships and finances.
Below I have written the steps I used to find out what was controlling my life and how I changed it into what I do want.

Hi Adam, I too was doing my own cleanse this week. Went off all media - internet, phone, tv (which was easy as I don't watch anyway), youtube, podcasts - for 5 days and yes, the time you spend with yourself, your thoughts, was quite a journey.A lot of questions came up during this time which were well needed to come to the surface.Thanks for sharing your story!Linda

Yes, Adam, I agree. We create many roadblocks to what we truly desire because of the limitations we impose upon ourselves based on ingrained beliefs. However, once we determine to 'listen' to our inner self and become aware, then we can bring about the change we seek. Our thoughts really do create our outcome. Let go and let God; trust and believe we will be directed to what is best for our highest good. It works!!!
Do you feel out of balance, unhappy, sad or depressed? Or even worse are you struggling with a chronic health problem?
Do you ever wonder how you got this way?
Well, let me tell you how I see these problems manifest....
They are the result of being out of touch or alignment with who you truly are. Regular reinforcement of being fearful of not trusting your gut feelings, desires and passions have created a life that you don't like.
This is because you haven't developed yourself in the way that you want to be. Instead you are acting like someone other than your natural self. You are an accumulation of stress, insecurities, resistance, etc. resulting in your current state of being.
Why would you ever do something like that?
Actually, it's extremely common due to the society we live in, and the other reason for it is a lack of being taught how to get in touch with who you are.
Think about it from day one of your birth you are born into a world where people all around you are working a job that they don't like, think they must dress a certain way because they saw it on a magazine, tv or the internet. So, you are being bombarded with people and their feelings and attitudes of being unhappy with not being themselves.
But, the biggest influence on you is your parents, siblings or whoever you grow up around. Everything they say you take as truth and very rarely are you taught to think for yourself and choose what you want to do. Instead you were forced to be like someone else, to fit in to prevent them from feeling embarrassed and to do things you really didn't want to do or have no interest in. Many times, what ends up happening is, people just think that this is the way life is and give up on their hopes and dreams.
No wonder it is so easy to get out of alignment with who you are.
But, listen it's not too late, you still have a chance to get in touch with who you are and your needs.
To do this you must be willing to put total trust in yourself…. Are you ready to do that?
Some people aren't because of old hang ups in their mind that interfere with trusting themselves.
If you are one of these people, here are some important questions to ask yourself:
To get a Yes or No answer from these questions, close your eyes and ask each question. Make a note of the answers you receive. You may receive the word Yes or No, or you may get a feeling for your answer. A Yes feeling is calming while a No answer is tensing.
If you received a No to any of these questions you will likely require assistance to remove what is inhibiting you from moving into a place of trusting yourself. This can be a variety of things, such as insecurities, which were made up at some point in your life, but through reinforcing them, they have grown and now hold a lot of power over you.
Your blockages to trusting yourself can be resolved in one on one Sessions with me.
Sign Up for Distance Healing Session
If you received Yes to the questions then, you can move forward with trusting yourself.
The next step into trusting yourself is asking yourself, "what do I need to do to achieve… name a specific goal you have." It may be overcoming an illness, relationship issue, financial issue, etc.
It is best to close your eye when you ask this question and be somewhere quiet and peaceful. Have a pen and paper handy, so you can write notes. There may be several steps you need to take to achieve your goal. Make sure to ask yourself if there are steps you need to take.
There you go. Now it is up to you to follow the answer you received.
When you follow the answers, you received, it helps to solidify that you do trust yourself and the process then gets easier and more comfortable every time you do it.
Leave a comment below about your experiencing in trusting yourself or any challenges you may have with trusting yourself.
If you feel stuck in this area and would like help, we can work one on one to overcome your challenges that are inhibiting you.

Adam: Its so true. I honestly believe if I set my mind to being healthy and allowing for me to heal myself it will happen. I let fear take over me. Which is not good. I have emotional issues which have blocked my healing. I must overcome all fears.
One of the things that came up for me on my journey to wellness was a lot of fear in trusting new things.
What I didn't realize was this way of thinking was the wrong approach entirely. I was living in fight or flight. I was living in a fear-based mindset. I expected the worst, so I would not have the rug pulled out from under me.
With every new treatment I had oodles of hope, but deep down I was scared of the outcome. At a core level I didn't think it would work.
This way of thinking never brought me the right therapies or the right environment for healing. All it brought me was more fear, more pain and even more of what I didn't want in my life…. STRESS!
Did you know that this type of negative thinking, also called 'worse case scenario thinking' is seen and felt as stress to the body?
Stress is not something you want to be dancing with on a daily basis. Chronic stress will NEVER open you up to Health and Healing. It actually creates the opposite effect.
It took me a long time to realize that I was blocking my own healing by the way I was thinking.
I was causing myself stress!
The funny thing about stress is that people often do not even realize that they are stressed!
I didn't.
I was happy with my career, my family life, my marriage, my life seemed flawless at the time!
So, if someone asked me if I was stressed, I would have said no. I loved my life.
I had no idea that my own thoughts, my innermost darkest thoughts, that played around in my mind day after day could be causing so much turmoil for my body.
I was a 'worst-case scenario thinker.'
Even worse than that, I was hard on myself. I didn't except myself for what I was. I didn't love every inch of myself. Instead, I judged myself everyday.
When constantly thinking that the other shoe is going to drop, or wishing for something better than what's there, it causes a huge amount of stress to the body.
I found that De-Stressing and checking in with myself everyday was paramount for my healing.
1. Check Your Thoughts – If you are prone to worry and fortune telling about the outcome of your health and future, there are simple techniques. I found that when I had a fearful thought or worry, I stopped and asked myself, "I am 100 percent sure that what I am thinking is true?"
If the answer is "no," I let it go. Unless you are sure of the outcome, don't give it energy. I have also found that asking myself, "Will this matter tomorrow?" Is just as important.
If what you are worrying about will not matter tomorrow, what is the point about stressing about it? Be sure that what you are giving your energy to is worth it!
2. Meditate and Deep Breathing – Meditation and inner reflection is really important for self-healing. Your body has all of the answers that you need when it comes to healing. Taking the time to get quiet with yourself to ask your body why you are having a certain problem is important. With practice you will hear your inner voice and it will 'no doubt' guide you to healing. So don't forget to ask!
Deep Breathing is just as important A deep breathe lets your body know that you are relaxed and there's nothing to worry about. It also engages your parasympathetic healing response. This is the opposite of your stress response. Because stress is the number one cause of most health issues, deep breathing is essential.
3. Positive Reinforcement – It does a body no good to think judgemental or hurtful thoughts towards one's self. It is important to stop negative self -sabotaging thoughts in their tracks and reinforce it with a positive statement. This tells your brain that you are not stressed and everything is ok.
4. Do Something Joyful – Most people can get really caught up in their health issues. It can bring about melancholy, depression and even anger. It is important to counter act those feelings with joy.
Did you know that laughter heals? Or that a smile, even if faked can release feel good hormones in your body. Feel good hormones are what you need to heal. Watch a comedy, do laughter yoga, smell some flowers, call a good friend, or simply think about something that brought you joy (really visualize it).
These are just a few techniques to get your started. Doing them on a daily basis will help to increase your vibration, keep your body out of stress, and keep your moods positive. It can even heal. When your vibrating at a higher frequency, you attract all that you need to be well.

Keri: I really enjoyed your blog. I am at the same point you were when you started not feeling well. in how your mind can drive you wits end. I get really worried to a point where I cant sleep. Thank you very much you are inspiration to me.
Have you ever wondered if SELF HEALING was possible for YOU?
Perhaps you have read stories of miraculous healings in other people.
I too wondered the same thing when my life turned upside down. I was doing great. I was eating all the right foods, exercising, loving my children, had a loving husband, but I learned that wasn't enough.
One day suddenly out of nowhere I found myself in the 'dark night of the soul', or a very tomultuous health storm. I was crippled with head to toe pain, burning, shaking, tremors and crippled posture. I could barely get out of bed, let alone take care of my kids. Doctor's told me I was normal and there was nothing wrong with me. I had lost all hope.
I didn't believe healing could happen to me, that is until I decided to take my power back. Until I decided to take healing into my own hands.
Find out what I did to heal my body in video below...... and what you can do to!
You are more powerful than you could ever imagine and if I can do it, so can you!

How do you love yourself for what you are when you are so deformed by medical treatment that your face is half missing and you look really scary. People turn away and cant look at you. I know I am a good and great person on the inside but not on the outside. it impacts on every area of life and I cant love it no matter how I try.

Thanks for sharing, this email arrived at the right time. I need to share this with a friend which is suffering from a myriad of health issues.
It is very hard to heal and be healthy if you don't have control of your energy.
Your energy is your power… What you do with it determines your outcome.
People come to me to receive Energy Healing because they are unhealthy. They are unhealthy because they are not in control of their energy. The main reason for this is because they never learned how to.
So, how do you control your energy to be healthy and stimulate self-healing?
One of the easiest ways I have found is through Medical Qi Gong.
Medical Qi Gong is an ancient Chinese Medicine practice that incorporates breathing, movement, meditation and visualization.
It has a 5000 years old rich history of helping people take control of their health, healing and longevity.
For along time Qi Gong was kept a secret in certain families in China because of its special healing power.
Qi Gong is now practiced throughout the world. In China it is used in some hospitals by patients with 'so-called incurable illnesses' such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, severe depression, paralysis and systemic lupus.
The results are amazing! Through daily Qi Gong practice people have overcome illnesses because they clear out old blocked energy from their bodies that created poor health and replace it with healthy energy.
Think of your energy like your home. If you continually bring trash into your home and never get rid of it, your home eventually fills up with trash and you will have a mess that is overwhelming to clean up.
With your own energy trash is inflammation, negative emotions, bad attitude, poor eating habits, electromagnetic frequencies (EMF), lack of exercise, etc. Overtime trash builds up and changes your energy creating different health issues depending on what you have a genetic disposition for if nothing is done about it.
By creating a daily practice of clearing unhealthy energy from you and replenishing it with healthy energy you stop the buildup and more importantly you create balance in your energy.
Why I like Medical Qi Gong so much is it incorporates all of these energies. No wonder it is so powerful for healing, prevention and longevity.

January is said to be the month that hosts many dreaded colds and flu bugs. Not only that, but it is historically known as one of the most depressing months in North America.
Why is it a dull month to many? I think it is the lack of sunshine, flu's and colds, and a dull feeling after the excitement of the holidays.
Many people find themselves battling cold after cold, having less energy than they would like and even feeling alittle blue.
But, rather than grab for cough syrup and cold remedies, how about boosting your immune system so you are rock solid and don't get sick at all?
Wouldn't you like to cruise through winter healthy, happy and have boundless amounts of energy?
I know I would!
Many people believe that if you go out into the cold weather dressed improperly, you will catch a cold. Whether that is an old wives tale or a good parental scare tactic, it's just not true.
Cold weather actually boost your IMMUNE SYSTEM. Going from cold to hot gets your lymphatic system moving, heart pumping and immune system engaged. It's like giving your immune system a workout!
Do you think that there are actually more germs floating around in the winter than in the summer?
Not true!
The germs are still there. It's actually the sun's UVB & UVA Rays that increase your absorption of Vitamin D keeping your immune system strong in the summer months.
Yes, you still get Vitamin D in the winter just less is absorbed from less UVB & UVA Rays.
I should mention that people are generally happier in the summer. With happiness comes less stress, and since stress is a major immune system inhibitor, it's no wonder less people get sick in the summer.
Like it or not, for the most part, people are not as active in the winter months. They stay indoors more often than not, and don't engage in as many sports. Even getting to the gym can prove to be a big feat for some.
Exercise improves circulation, stimulates the immune system, detoxifies your body and raises energy levels. Not only is it essential for good immunity, but it gives you a good boost of 'feel good hormones.'
So, exercise is essential for warding off flu bugs for sure.
1. Exercise – Make sure that you are getting at least 30-60 minutes of exercise daily. This will increase your immunity, help you stay strong and fit and give you the 'joy du vive' you are looking for in the winter.
Have you ever noticed that people who exercise in the winter are happier?
2. Vitamin D – Supplement with Vitamin D to increase your body's immunity in the winter months. Vitamin D helps you fight infections of all kinds.
A study in Japan, showed that school aged children taking Vitamin D everyday during the winter, reduced their risk of catching the flu.
The recommended daily intake of Vitamin D is 1000 iu for adults. But, I have found that most people living in the Northern Hemisphere require more to maintain optimal levels. Make sure to get tested with your doctor to see where your Vitamin D levels are.
You can purchase Vitamin D at health food sotre or online: Click here for Vitamin D
3. Get Adequate Rest – Let's face it, even with the dark days upon us, a lot of us have a tendency to stay up way too late. Lack of rest not only decreases your body's energy, but also increases your stress levels. Stress lowers immunity.
You should be striving to get to bed by 10pm everyday to keep your body's energy up and therefore your immunity.
4. Probiotics – One of the best immune boosters are good flora or Probiotics. Did you know that good good flora make up the first line of defense for your immune system. Good flora also create about 80% of your immunity. So, it goes without saying that to have great immunity, you definitely need to have a strong gut health.
I personally supplement with good flora containing fermented foods like kefir and kombucha on a daily basis. You can also use Probiotics, which can be found in your natural health food store or in my store.
Buy Probitoics Here
Make sure you buy a Probiotics that are stored in the fridge to maintain potency.
5. Herbal Immune Boosters – There are many Herbal Immune Boosters you can use in the winter for both prevention and treatment. The key is consistency. My favorvites include:
Echinacea – This is one of the more commonly known immune boosters, but I find that it is not always used correctly. Echinacea is widely used to fight infections, especially common colds and other upper respiratory infections. I have also used it at the first signs of mastitis quite effectively. The key is to use it at the first signs of infection: virus or bacteria.
So how do you use Echinacea?
Firstly, it's more potent and effective to use a tincture made from fresh Echinacea rather than dried. Dried Echinacea has normally lost a lot of its potency.
Echinacea tincture can be used on the first signs of a cold or flu. But, 20-30 drops two to three times a day is usually not that effective. For the first sign of a cold or infection, Echinacea can be used safely every 1-2 hours 1tsp or 30 drops, until the cold or infection subsides.
As always if you have an infection that does not improve, you should always see a doctor. Also, if you have an auto-immune disease you should speak with a practitioner before using it.
You can purchase Echinacea at health food stores or online.
Buy Echinacea Here
Goji Berries – For more than 5000 years the Chinese have used Goji Berries as part of their traditional medicine. It's known as 'The Fruit of Longevity;' having amazing immune enhancing qualities.
Goji Berries are loaded with Vitamin C and I love to get it from natural sources.
Most Vitamin C supplements found on store shelves are derived from corn and most likely genetically modified (GMO). So that's a big win for Goji Berries.
Goji Berries also reduce inflammation, improve resistance to cancer cell growth, nourish blood, reduce allergies & dizziness, improve vision and even help with low back pain. WOW!
You can buy Goji Berries in health food stores, grocery stores and online.

Maitake Mushrooms – They contain Beta Glucan, a compound responsible for immune support and macrophages, which are immune cells that eat up viruses.
In addition to that, Maitake mushrooms help turn on natural killer cells (NKC), which give viruses the 1-2 punch combo out of your body!
Lastly, they are loaded with polysaccharides, reduce inflammation, help with collagen production, energy production and so much more.
I'm sure that in future studies we will see more amazing qualities of this mushroom.
You can buy Maitake Mushrooms in health food stores or online.
Buy Maittake Mushrooms here
Astragalus Root - This is another herb used in Traditional Chinese Medicine as an ENERGY & IMMUNE BOOSTER. It's known as an adaptogenic herb, which means it lowers your stress hormone cortisol. Stress hormones inhibit your immune system, so Astragalus is a powerful herb to keep on hand.
Astragalus also strengthen the lungs, which can lessen your susceptibility to respiratory infections and viruses and contains antioxidants that reduce inflammation.
This is something I like to take everyday in the winter to keep my immune system top notch.
You can buy Astragalus at health food stores or online.
Buy Astragalus Root here
Pine Needles – Did you know that pine needles are extremely high in Vitamin C & A? Not only that, but they are also a very powerful antioxidant, antiviral and immune system powerhouse. Pine Needles have been used for eons by native communities to boost Vitamin C levels, prevent cold and flu.
Pine Needles are great for preventing oxidative stress, beneficial for your skin and hair, and even have been known to improve vision.
Pine Needle tea also is antiseptic, helping to prevent bad bacteria and microbes from affecting your body. They also help treat respiratory cold and infection by expectorating phlegm and neutralizing pathogens found in the sinuses.
All you need are some Pine Needles and a pot of water. A good handful will do. Just bring water to a boil, turn off, put Pine Needles in pot, cover and let steep for 15-30mins. Strain and enjoy.
6. Local Raw Honey – Honey is perhaps one of the best immune system boosters out there. The world health organization lists honey as a demulcent, which treats coughs. I have used it for dry cough quite successfully.
Raw honey contains bee pollen, which is also known to ward off infections, prevent allergies, and is a natural source of energy.
Honey has been extensively studied and has been shown to increase disease fighting polyphenols in the blood. Polyphenols are part of what makes honey a great choice for both prevention and treatment of colds.
7. Laughter - They say laughter is the best medicine. I think this is more true than we realize. Not only does laughter increase our sense of well being, inner happiness and energy, but it creates a strong immune system.
It is one of the easiest ways to boost immunity.
I think that as adults we tend to laugh less than children. Perhaps we should take a tip from the kids and be more care-free in life?
So, how can you bring more laughter into your life? Make a commintment to laugh everyday, even if there is nothing to laugh at. Some would call this Laughter Yoga. Simply laugh. Soon you will be laughing at how silly it is and it will become infectious.
You could also make time to watch a comedy, visit friends (this usually brings about some laughs) and even play with kids. It doesn't matter how you do it, just make time for laughing each day.
Don't let negative emotions stop you from healing.
Did you know that negative emotions like anger, fear and hatred work against you if you are trying to heal?
They stop you from healing because they inhibit you from feeling love and LOVE HEALS.
Dr. Bernie Siegel explains the connection between love and health by saying that when you do not love your life your body suffers. It's the 'good girl' who gets breast cancer. She's the one who takes care of others needs and desires at the expense of her own.
The 'good girl' may see love as conforming. Of course, there are times that conforming is in your best interest. But conforming for love's sake stifles creativity and makes it impossible to live an authentic life. This creates stress and chronic stress leads to illness.
People often feel this stress on Monday - the most common day for suicide, heart attacks and illness.
Dean Shrock, PhD, author of "Why Love Heals" discovered scientific proof that love heals. Dr. Shrock was a director of Mind-Body Medicine for 40 cancer centers. He found that his patients lived much longer than those receiving only conventional medical care.
It was not his programs or teachings that made the difference, but the care his patients felt from him.
I wonder what would have happened if his patients learned how to love themselves unconditionally.
Dr. Shrock defines love as an all pervasive energy that flows through everything. Connecting emotionally and spiritually is the essence of life and health.
He explains that love is oneness. On a subatomic level, we are all connected. When you experience it, you are resonating with the essence of the universe and who you are. The quantum field flows freely and health is the result. You yourself are source energy.
When you love yourself and accept it from others, you naturally attract healthier relationships, healing, and blessings from the universe.
Very few people are taught this as children or let alone at all. So, now is your chance to integrate this knowledge.
To make things easier for you I have created a video with an exercise on How to Transmute Emotions that Stop You from Healing.
Watch Video.
In the video you learned how to transmute negative emotions into healthy emotions. Doing so allows for more unconditional love to flow through you for better and even optimal health
Have questions or comments, write them below.
If you would like to work together to go deeper into transmuting negative emotions into healthy ones sign up for a Distance Healing Session with me.

Have you ever noticed how good you feel when you spend time in nature? If you do not know what I am talking about, it is time to get out into nature.
Nature is in a constant state of UNCONDITIONAL LOVE and it gives without expecting anything in return. Unconditional love is what all the great sages and healers like: Jesus, Buddha, and even Mother Theresa embraced.
We have a lot to learn from nature.
Albert Einstein understood it when he said, "Look deep into nature and then you will understand everything better."
I have noticed, in general, people who spend little time in nature have more health issues. Is there a connection? Personally, I believe there is and you might think so after reading the scientific health benefits below.
First, I would like to share with you how nature has favourably impacted my life.
I find time spent in nature helps return me to who I am….my natural, balanced state…. I believe nature does this for everyone.
It happens because being in nature, naturally, aligns you with the healing vibration of unconditional love. When in a state of unconditional love, your stress melts away and your body can heal much faster.
You breathe in more oxygen, as well as, therapeutic scents of trees and plants.
The famous Chinese philosopher, Lao Tzu said it well, "Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.
I like to walk in nature every morning before I start my day. Also if I have had a particularly stressful day, I like to go into nature as it is naturally therapeutic. I have also found my intuition has been enhanced by spending time in nature.
For years, I have been intuitively guided to daily spend time in nature in order to balance myself and improve my health.
And guess what, science has done several studies that prove this is exactly what is happening.
If you are struggling with any health issues, I challenge you to daily spend time in nature and see how much your health improves.
All health issues are a sign the body is out of balance and not in its natural state.
If you want to enhance your health… get out into nature. Its therapeutic benefits are FREE!
I would love to hear any comments you have about nature. Share them below in the comment section.

Hi Barbara,I sense you have something inside you that you need to let go of and your body is telling you this by the symptoms you are experiencing with your fingers. Say the affirmation, "I let of all the toxins inside of me that are affecting my fingers and hands." Say this everyday, when you are outside in nature. From there, ask yourself, "Is there anything I need to do to remove the toxins?" Listen and feel for a response.

Good day Adam thanks for sharing. My life is spent outside either walking my dog, or riding my bike. I don't feel right if I haven't been outside at least once a day. Oh gardening as well. However, for some reason I have this arthritis going on in my fingers and not sure why. If I wasn't seeing it first hand I would never think I wasn't healthy. I feel healthy, and didn't feel unhealthy prior to this starting. Does getting your fingers cold do this. It's discouraging when I see it going on in my fingers and like I said I wouldn't even think I was unhealthy if I couldn't see it. Thanks and yes I do believe we all should be in nature. Intuitive readings come to me the min. I go outside for a walk. Blessings Barb
Your ability to be healthy is greatly dependent on how well you adapt. This is because when you are adaptable and exposed to different stressors you have an easier time moving through them without being taken out by stress.
Let's face it, STRESS is unavoidable. You never know when it will show up, the best thing I have found that can be done is have a preventative strategy and adapt to it when it does show up.
Stress can be the # 1 cause of health problems because it drains your energy and makes you more vulnerable to make poor choices, which can translate to your physical body's intelligence lowering.
Depending on the amount of energy you invest into the stressors, your body can have trouble coping and regulating autonomic functions like immunity, repairing itself, digesting food, circulating blood, breathing, balancing hormones and even regulating your sleep cycle.
There are several health issues linked to stress:
To prevent and heal from health issues you have to change and be adaptable. I have found that I am much more adaptable when I am in a loving mind set.
Your mental state is essential. When stress shows up in your life make sure you view and approach it with a solution oriented mindset.
Be aware that there is a stress, but put your attention on how to solve it rather than the problem itself.
To prevent and heal from health issues it is important to focus on unconditional love. If you don't know what unconditional love is, let me tell you. Unconditional love is loving someone, something, even yourself despite who or what they are, their beliefs, actions, feelings, etc.
I know it can be challenging to love yourself and some people because you may feel they don't deserve it, they are mean, they have done bad things, maybe even killed people. But how do you expect you or that person to change if they only receive negative feelings, thoughts, or actions towards them.
I have found to BE Unconditional Love, the first step is to develop Self-Love.
Watch the video below, I explain a simple technique called Self-Love Supercharger: 9 Steps to Developing Self-Love.
It is a great exercise to do every day in the morning or when you are feeling out of balance to bring you back to a state of balance.
If you want to work with me one on one to develop your Self-Love, you can do so by signing up for a Distance Healing Session

Army Navy will be performing tonight at the Silverlake Lounge in Silver Lake along with The Wind, The Damn Sons, and Dede. Army Navy is a Los Angeles indie rock group that sounds a lot like Britpop, complete with a tangible influence from bands like The Smiths, The Stone Roses and others who favored bright guitar chords as opposed to the highly distorted, uber-loud stylings of Grunge or hair metal of the same period.
The show kicks off at 9 p.m. with Dede, a great band that sounds a lot like a '60s vocal group or Edie Brickell with a little more dreaminess thrown in for good measure. Singer Dede weaves her lyrics around the airy, mellow beats, soothing the listener with her vocal melodies and rounding out the tunes very nicely. Doors should be at around 8 p.m., and the cover charge is $8.
Resistant Culture @ The Boulevard Cafe & Bar
On Friday, Resistant Culture will be tearing up the already band-battered stage at The Boulevard Cafe and Bar on Whittier Boulevard, and for a good cause too. They are joining forces with SMD, Social Conflict, Rabia Al Sistema, and Politziko to raise funds for the Humberto Corzo Guzman school in Guatemala.
The school is in the highlands of Guatemala, and the threat of its demise hits especially close to home for the bands. The school has been under fire from a church, corrupt police, and city officials trying their hardest to shut down the school. Sounds like the perfect cause for this group of socially conscious bands to adopt, and a very good reason to come together over some very loud angry music in the spirit of defiance. The show at the East Los Angeles club – 18 and over, – starts at 7 p.m. Cost is $8.
There's a lot of music out there. Eastside Mix will help guide you to noteworthy shows and keep you up to date on Eastside venues, bands, artists and labels. Did we miss something? Send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Don't feel embarrassed if you don't know what privacy professionals do. As the YouTube clip above demonstrates, most people have no idea! The concept of privacy is very old, but the privacy professional is a very new, very modern, and largely undefined position in today's workforce.
The role of the privacy professional is hard to define. This is due in part to "privacy" itself being an elusive concept. Privacy means different things to different people. Some think privacy is the ability to keep personal information secret. Others think that privacy means the ability to control how personal information is used. To many, privacy is just another right that has to be weighed against other considerations such as crime prevention and national security. And to others, the right to privacy is absolute and must be protected at all cost.
Privacy professionals perform many different and multi-faceted roles. Some privacy professionals support businesses, ensuring they collect and process data without violating regulations. At the same time, other privacy professionals are policing businesses and issuing sanctions when they run afoul of privacy rules and regulations. The rise of the privacy profession is evidenced by the change of composition of the C-Suite of many of today's companies. Chief Privacy Officers play increasingly vital roles in today's workforce.
Companies that deal with personal data should use the services of privacy professional to avoid costly mistakes. In fact, today's companies are increasingly aware that delivering services and products that respect consumers' data is just plain good business. As a result, more companies are developing products and services to offer stronger privacy protections such as automatic encryption for smart phones. Privacy should be treated as a separate position from just informational security. For example, after a data breach security professionals address system vulnerabilities and download patches to address the breach. Simultaneously, privacy professionals deal with regulators, educate employees, notify customers, and minimize the legal damage the breach has caused.
But there doesn't have to be a data breach to employ the services of a privacy professional. Privacy professionals enable companies to be proactive about implementing privacy throughout their organization via employee education, privacy impact assessments (PIAs) of new products and projects, and general privacy audits.
Today, the privacy professional may be a new and largely unknown position to circles outside the field, but the issues they tackle on a daily basis will be vital to business for years to come.

Principles of Adult Learning
- Daniella Ellis
- 2 years ago
- Views:
1 Principles of Adult Learning Adapted from John Goodlad ADULTS PREFER LEARNING SITUATIONS WHICH: 1. ARE PRACTICAL AND PROBLEM-CENTERED, SO... Give overviews, summaries, examples, & use stories to link theory to practice Discuss and help them plan for direct application of the new information Use collaborative, authentic problem-solving activities Anticipate problems applying the new ideas to their setting so, offer suggestions CAUTION- Guard against becoming too theoretical. 2. PROMOTE THEIR POSITIVE SELF ESTEEM, SO... Provide low-risk activities in small group settings Plan for building individual success incrementally Help them become more effective and confident through guided practice and establishing routines. CAUTION- Readiness to learn depends on self-esteem 3. INTEGRATE NEW IDEAS WITH EXISTING KNOWLEDGE, SO... Help them recall what they already know from prior experience that relates to the topic of learning. Share your agenda and assumptions and ask for input. Adjust time for topics to fit their needs. Use a continuum that describes a range of skill & knowledge. Ask they to apply stickers or marks showing what their current level of knowledge/skill is in the topic(s) Ask what they would like to know about the topic Build in options within your plan so you can easily shift to address needs. Suggest follow up ideas and next steps for support and implementation after the session CAUTION- Collect needs data and match the degree of choice to their level of development
2 4. SHOW RESPECT FOR THE INDIVIDUAL LEARNER, SO... Provide for their physical needs through breaks, snacks, coffee, comfort Provide a quality, well organized, differentiated experience that uses time effectively and efficiently Avoid jargon and don't "talk down" to participants Validate and affirm their knowledge, contributions and successes Ask for feedback on your work or ideas, provide input opportunities CAUTION- Watch your choice of words to avoid creating negative perceptions 5. CAPITALIZE ON THEIR EXPERIENCE, SO... Don't ignore what they already know, it's a resource for you Plan alternate activities and choice so they can adjust the process to fit their experience level Create activities that use their experience and knowledge Listen and collect data about participant needs before, during and after the event CAUTION- Provide for the possibility of a need to unlearn old habits or confront inaccurate beliefs 6. ALLOW CHOICE AND SELF-DIRECTION, SO... Build your plans around their needs, compare desired behaviors (goals) & actual behaviors Share your agenda and assumptions and ask for input on them Ask what they know already about the topic (their perception) Ask what they would like to know about the topic Build in options within your plan so you can easily shift if needed Allow time for planning their next steps. CAUTIONS- Match the degree of choice to their level of development. Also, since there may be things they don't know that they don't know, use a mix of their perception of needs AND research on needs and organizational needs and calendar to guide your planning.

3 PRINCIPLES OF ADULT LEARNING By Stephen Lieb Senior Technical Writer and Planner, Arizona Department of Health Services and part-time Instructor, South Mountain Community College from VISION, Fall 1991 Adults As Learners Part of being an effective instructor involves understanding how adults learn best. Compared to children and teens, adults have special needs and requirements as learners. Despite the apparent truth, adult learning is a relatively new area of study. The field of adult learning was pioneered by Malcom Knowles. He identified the following characteristics of adult learners: Adults are autonomous and self-directed. They need to be free to direct themselves. Their teachers must actively involve adult participants in the learning process and serve as facilitators for them. Specifically, they must get participants' perspectives about what topics to cover and let them work on projects that reflect their interests. They should allow the participants to assume responsibility for presentations and group leadership. They have to be sure to act as facilitators, guiding participants to their own knowledge rather than supplying them with facts. Finally, they must show participants how the class will help them reach their goals (e.g., via a personal goals sheet). Adults have accumulated a foundation of life experiences and knowledge that may include work-related activities, family responsibilities, and previous education. They need to connect learning to this knowledge/experience base. To help them do so, they should draw out participants' experience and knowledge which is relevant to the topic. They must relate theories and concepts to the participants and recognize the value of experience in learning. Adults are goal-oriented. Upon enrolling in a course, they usually know what goal they want to attain. They, therefore, appreciate an educational program that is organized and has clearly defined elements. Instructors must show participants how this class will help them attain their goals. This classification of goals and course objectives must be done early in the course. Adults are relevancy-oriented. They must see a reason for learning something. Learning has to be applicable to their work or other responsibilities to be of value to them. Therefore, instructors must identify objectives for adult participants before the course begins. This means, also, that theories and concepts must be related to a setting familiar to participants. This need can be fulfilled by letting participants choose projects that reflect their own interests. Adults are practical, focusing on the aspects of a lesson most useful to them in their work. They may not be interested in knowledge for its own sake. Instructors must tell participants explicitly how the lesson will be useful to them on the job. As do all learners, adults need to be shown respect. Instructors must acknowledge the wealth of experiences that adult participants bring to the classroom. These adults should be treated as equals in experience and knowledge and allowed to voice their opinions freely in class.
4 Motivating the Adult Learner Another aspect of adult learning is motivation. At least six factors serve as sources of motivation for adult learning: Social relationships: to make new friends, to meet a need for associations and friendships. External expectations: to comply with instructions from someone else; to fulfill the expectations or recommendations of someone with formal authority. Social welfare: to improve ability to serve mankind, prepare for service to the community, and improve ability to participate in community work. Personal advancement: to achieve higher status in a job, secure professional advancement, and stay abreast of competitors. Escape/Stimulation: to relieve boredom, provide a break in the routine of home or work, and provide a contrast to other exacting details of life. Cognitive interest: to learn for the sake of learning, seek knowledge for its own sake, and to satisfy an inquiring mind. Barriers and Motivation Unlike children and teenagers, adults have many responsibilities that they must balance against the demands of learning. Because of these responsibilities, adults have barriers against participating in learning. Some of these barriers include lack of time, money, confidence, or interest, lack of information about opportunities to learn, scheduling problems, "red tape," and problems with child care and transportation. Motivation factors can also be a barrier. What motivates adult learners? Typical motivations include a requirement for competence or licensing, an expected (or realized) promotion, job enrichment, a need to maintain old skills or learn new ones, a need to adapt to job changes, or the need to learn in order to comply with company directives. The best way to motivate adult learners is simply to enhance their reasons for enrolling and decrease the barriers. Instructors must learn why their students are enrolled (the motivators); they have to discover what is keeping them from learning. Then the instructors must plan their motivating strategies. A successful strategy includes showing adult learners the relationship between training and an expected promotion. Learning Tips for Effective Instructors Educators must remember that learning occurs within each individual as a continual process throughout life. People learn at different speeds, so it is natural for them to be anxious or nervous when faced with a learning situation. Positive reinforcement by the instructor can enhance learning, as can proper timing of the instruction. Learning results from stimulation of the senses. In some people, one sense is used more than others to learn or recall information. Instructors should present materials that stimulates as many senses as possible in order to increase their chances of teaching success. There are four critical elements of learning that must be addressed to ensure that participants learn.
5 These elements are 1. motivation 2. reinforcement 3. retention 4. transference Motivation. If the participant does not recognize the need for the information (or has been offended or intimidated), all of the instructor's effort to assist the participant to learn will be in vain. The instructor must establish rapport with participants and prepare them for learning; this provides motivation. Instructors can motivate students via several means: Set a feeling or tone for the lesson. Instructors should try to establish a friendly, open atmosphere that shows the participants they will help them learn. Set an appropriate level of concern. The level of tension must be adjusted to meet the level of importance of the objective. If the material has a high level of importance, a higher level of tension/stress should be established in the class. However, people learn best under low to moderate stress; if the stress is too high, it becomes a barrier to learning. Set an appropriate level of difficulty. The degree of difficulty should be set high enough to challenge participants but not so high that they become frustrated by information overload. The instruction should predict and reward participation, culminating in success. In addition, participants need specific knowledge of their learning results (feedback ). Feedback must be specific, not general. Participants must also see a reward for learning. The reward does not necessarily have to be monetary; it can be simply a demonstration of benefits to be realized from learning the material. Finally, the participant must be interested in the subject. Interest is directly related to reward. Adults must see the benefit of learning in order to motivate themselves to learn the subject. Reinforcement. Reinforcement is a very necessary part of the teaching/learning process; through it, instructors encourage correct modes of behavior and performance. Positive reinforcement is normally used by instructors who are teaching participants new skills. As the name implies, positive reinforcement is "good" and reinforces "good" (or positive) behavior. Negative reinforcement is normally used by instructors teaching a new skill or new information. It is useful in trying to change modes of behavior. The result of negative reinforcement is extinction -- that is, the instructor uses negative reinforcement until the "bad" behavior disappears, or it becomes extinct. (To read more about negative reinforcement, you can check out Maricopa Center for Learning & Instruction Negative Reinforcement Univeristy.) When instructors are trying to change behaviors (old practices), they should apply both positive and negative reinforcement. Reinforcement should be part of the teaching-learning process to ensure correct behavior. Instructors need to use it on a frequent and regular basis early in the process to help the students retain what they have learned. Then, they should use reinforcement only to maintain consistent, positive behavior.
6 Retention. Students must retain information from classes in order to benefit from the learning. The instructors' jobs are not finished until they have assisted the learner in retaining the information. In order for participants to retain the information taught, they must see a meaning or purpose for that information. The must also understand and be able to interpret and apply the information. This understanding includes their ability to assign the correct degree of importance to the material. The amount of retention will be directly affected by the degree of original learning. Simply stated, if the participants did not learn the material well initially, they will not retain it well either. Retention by the participants is directly affected by their amount of practice during the learning. Instructors should emphasize retention and application. After the students demonstrate correct (desired) performance, they should be urged to practice to maintain the desired performance. Distributed practice is similar in effect to intermittent reinforcement. Transference. Transfer of learning is the result of training -- it is the ability to use the information taught in the course but in a new setting. As with reinforcement, there are two types of transfer: positive and negative. Positive transference, like positive reinforcement, occurs when the participants uses the behavior taught in the course. Negative transference, again like negative reinforcement, occurs when the participants do not do what they are told not to do. This results in a positive (desired) outcome. Transference is most likely to occur in the following situations: Association -- participants can associate the new information with something that they already know. Similarity -- the information is similar to material that participants already know; that is, it revisits a logical framework or pattern. Degree of original learning -- participant's degree of original learning was high. Critical attribute element -- the information learned contains elements that are extremely beneficial (critical) on the job. Although adult learning is relatively new as field of study, it is just as substantial as traditional education and carries and potential for greater success. Of course, the heightened success requires a greater responsibility on the part of the teacher. Additionally, the learners come to the course with precisely defined expectations. Unfortunately, there are barriers to their learning. The best motivators for adult learners are interest and selfish benefit. If they can be shown that the course benefits them pragmatically, they will perform better, and the benefits will be longer lasting.

WWF helps change UK law to make buildings more environmentally friendly
A new WWF-sponsored Sustainable and Secure Buildings Act, introduced by Andrew Stunell MP, will provide the government with a host of new powers to tackle the harmful effect that homes and other buildings have on the environment.
England and Wales currently lag far behind other European countries in addressing this issue. The new act should help to redress the balance by, for example, requiring the use of materials that have a minimal impact on the environment, such as recycled or reclaimed materials or timber from independently certified well-managed sources.
WWF has supported the passage of this act through the UK Parliament as part of its One Million Sustainable Homes campaign. The goal of the campaign is to provide more people with the choice of living in a home that is healthier, safer, and cheaper as well as benefiting the environment.
Paul King, Director of WWF's One Million Sustainable Homes campaign, said: "WWF is delighted to have helped change the law governing building regulations. For the first time, we are able to seriously address the impact that all houses and other buildings have on the environment."
The new act will move issues of sustainability in housing from the margins to the heart of building legislation. However, WWF is calling for action to be taken to ensure that these new powers are used effectively. This can only be achieved by reviewing and upgrading building regulations as soon as possible.
"The government must act immediately to amend building regulations so that they lay the foundations for sustainable development. Progress in this area is long overdue," added Paul King.

Performance and Driving Impressions Rating:
As with its pickup-truck brethren, the Titan trades handling and ride quality for off-road ruggedness and potent hauling capacities. While the Titan can giddy up and go and has sufficient stopping power, its ride, steering, and handling aren't as refined as its competition.
What's New for 2018?
We've driven the Titan single cab, rear-wheel-drive crew cab, and Pro-4X, and all exhibit small differences in their performance and driving dynamics. While they have their share of shortcomings, they are all better to drive daily than the stiffer-riding Titan XD.
2017 Nissan Titan
The Titan's 390-hp 5.6-liter V-8 and seven-speed automatic transmission provide ample acceleration in all manner of driving scenarios. Under heavy throttle, the exhaust emits a pleasing growl. While the seven-speed gearbox generally made a good impression, at cruising speeds it hesitated to downshift with heavy throttle applications. The Titan Pro-4X accelerates from zero to 60 mph just as quickly as most of its rivals with similar horsepower. Compared with their most powerful engines, though, the Nissan eats dust.
Test Results: Acceleration
Ride, Handling, and Steering
Although the Titan and the kinda-heavy-duty Titan XD share cabs and other components, they have their own specific chassis and suspensions. The Pro-4X trim swaps the stock shocks for an off-road set better suited for rough roads, but we noted that they feel stiffer than rivals with similar setups. The regular-cab Titan SV we drove lost its composure on unruly roads but felt acceptably compliant on smooth surfaces. Despite its all-terrain tires, the hulking Pro-4X we tested had one of the highest skidpad results of the competitors we tested (0.74 g). Its heavy steering adeptly transitioned between low-speed maneuverability and highway stability.
Test Results: Maximum Cornering Capability
The Pro-4X's brake pedal felt softer than those on the regular trims but not less responsive. In fact, at 186 feet, it posted the second-shortest emergency-stopping distance in this matchup—the rugged Ram 1500 Rebel needed almost 30 feet more.
