The decision to try life coaching or therapy/counseling can be easy. For example, you may struggle in your relationships, see negative patterns, realize you may need to set some boundaries and feel afraid to follow through, need support for taking charge of your life, or realize you dont take care of yourself very well. You know you want to grow as a person and its time!

Jesse

However, finding the right professional is another story. How will you choose?

How will you know if you will be a good fit with the professional you do choose? How do you know which professional has the knowledge to best help you? Where do you even begin to find a professional in your area?

The first thing you need you to know is that the relationship between the professional and the client is a power relationship, meaning you are going to be in a position in which you must trust in the knowledge and guidance of the professional. You are reaching out to a professional who has expertise in several areas of life, and its presumed they are there to help you. Most professionals I know decided to pursue this career because they desire to help people and are very caring and competent!

However, as in any profession, we have our bad apples. Because of the knowledge and power that professionals have acquired through graduate training, they possess the power to be helpful or harmful to the client.

Thats why its important to interview the professionals that you decide are well suited to help you. I tell my friends, my family, and my clients, You are the customer looking for a service, and you get to interview the professionals to make sure you get what you are looking for.

Most professionals I know are willing to give you 10+ minutes to interview them.

Make a list of questions about what you are seeking help with and ask those questions of the three or four professionals that you have decided you like based on their websites or recommendations from others. Two really good professional search websites are PsychologyToday.com and GoodTherapy.org, and there are several others.

Use the filters they provide to find a professional that will have expertise in the areas for which you are seeking help. Read their individual websites and see if you like what they have to say and if a few resonate with you, decide to call and interview them!

Everybody Has Issues How to get started with life coaching and/or therapy - The Clermont Sun

A death sentence turned out to be life transforming for one Christian singer.

Almost five years ago, Carman Licciardello, the singer, songwriter, preacher, performer and life coach known as simply Carman, was diagnosed with an incurable form of cancer. He underwent intense treatments, and according to his most recent scan in July, there are no signs of cancer.

Every six months I go and find out if I can live another six months. You start to appreciate things around you more, said Carman, who will be at Living Waters Church at 10:30 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 3. We say one of these days, Ill get around to doing something, but then you realize one of these days is today.

And your quality of life actually improves when you take steps to start living rather that just existing, he said.

Since his diagnosis, there have been a lot of advancements made in treatments, and Carman said sometimes you just have to live long enough for the right treatment to be developed.

Carmans music career began in the 1980s, and he has created numerous recordings over the years. Billboard Magazine named him Contemporary Christian Artist of the Year in 1990. He has 15 gold and platinum recordings and his recording, The Champion, spent a record-breaking 33 weeks at Billboards No. 1 slot. Hes also appeared in several films.

When he was diagnosed, Carman hadnt recorded anything in several years, and he decided to make a push to get back into the studios. He released No Plan B in 2014 and hes currently recording his latest CD, Legacy: Hymns, Jams and Stories. It should be out next year.

His journey with cancer also opened up a door hed never thought of.

He chronicled his progress with the disease through his Facebook page. His surgeries, his treatments, his hopes and his fears were all laid out for 500,000 followers to read. During his No Plan B tour, he did a lot of meet-and-greets with his fans.

People would just start talking to me about personal stuff, he said. They found it hard to talk to people in their own family. Id put out my personal stuff, and there was a connection.

So he embarked on a new type of career as a life coach. He went to school and got certified in the field and now he helps people in a different way. One thing hes found is theres no one size fits all to life coaching. Everyone has various circumstances and challenges to overcome.

Doing life coaching is extremely rewarding, he said.

As for his Augusta visit, Carman will be singing his songs, telling his story and raising money for the charity, World Vision. His goal is to raise sponsors for children in Third World countries.

To learn more about Carman and his life coaching, visit http://www.carmanlifecoaching.com.

It's become a tradition here in Kentuckiana, the Hike, Bike and Paddle event is held every Labor and Memorial Day at Waterfront Park.

Julia Rose, WHAS 1:11 PM. EDT September 04, 2017

(WHAS11) -- A warm, sunny Labor Day morning brought hundreds to Louisvilles Waterfront Park for the Hike, Bike & Paddle event on Monday. The twice-annual event has become a holiday tradition in Kentuckiana that many say they look forward to every year.

The Hike Bike & Paddle is held every Memorial and Labor Day where people take their pick from a 5k hike, 9.5-mile bike ride or a paddle on the Ohio River.

The event is now in its 11th year and Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer says it's amazing to see how the community has embraced the idea.

Everyone's happy, they come from all over the city, everybody's getting an early morning workout in so it's just a great way to start the day, said Fischer.

From Zumba to Thai Chi, there's something for everyone, even the furry friends.

Weve got everything from floating dogs out here to 90-year-old grandmas riding their bikes out here so I think it's going to be a record crowd, said Fischer.

People participating say the Hike, Bike & Paddle exemplifies this unique and proud community by giving people across the area the chance to exercise while exploring the city by foot, bike or boat.

When was the last time you really thought about pain? I don't mean the physical kind, breaking bones and everything. I'm not talking about your hangover from the weekend either, although I am sorry if that's the case. This is something deeper, a burial, a fallout that's been covered with soil yet continues to breathe inside you. A past trauma that needed to be forgotten but somehow still exists.

If you're slightly aware of something like this, the pain you might be thinking of is likely to be still be as cracked as a broken leg. Maybe it emerges from time to time, influencing the present with its broken wounds. Perhaps it's lingering behind a wall, sealed internally with protective glue. It could even be so present it's carried around like a satchel. Whatever the case: it's there, somewhere, pulsating as an ember of the past, pushed down so deep it should be forgotten but isn't, because why else would there be remnants of a fire if there wasn't still something flammable enough to burn? Eckhart Tolle describes it as the "pain body"a kind of parasite that pops up from time to time, bringing past situations alive, trying to create present pain.

Whether it's the loss of a close friend, family issues, drug addiction, being broke or any other traumatic experience, Eminem has seemingly been through them all. For the last 21 years he's released pain through musicabout his mother (and father); his drug addiction; his recovery; his mourning for friends or family that are out of reachand done so in a way it's allowed us to reflect on our own issues.

Last weekend he brought that mirror to Reading and Leeds, where he headlined. At this point we could talk about the mechanics of the performance: he rapped his songs, which you may know, and he had a beard, which you may not. While this information may be useful to those who support beards and/or reliable expectation, it doesn't really say anything. What's more important to focus on is that feeling I mentioned earlierthe one buried in the walls of time yet unconsciously present; the one Eminem probably talks about in one of his songs; the one thing you're probably thinking of right now but never fully addressed, because it was easier to suppress.

Most of Eminem's songs are so old it's difficult to watch him perform them and not relate in some way to the moment when you first heard them and what's happened since. Whether it's the subject matter or the way it's approached, he has something for everyoneyou're sad, you're broken, you're ignorant, you want to laugh; he's got you. That's why he's one of the best-selling artists of a decade. He can spit on your onion rings, lift the mood with a crass joke about the Discovery Channel, then expose expose his feelings in a way that's so direct you get something from it too.

Because he's a human first and a rapper second, it's likely Eminem has his own pain bodyone complete with recurring themes of sadness, anxiety, anger, or self-defeating behaviors. It would be unfair to second guess what these experiences are. But should you relate to anything he's saying in his songs (if you've ever had a shitty day and put them on) then his headline slot is a spectacle. It's hard to beat music you care about being performed in real time. Eminem's appeal has always been rooted in his ability to let loose with past experiences, often in a way that can be helpful to his audiencewhether that's confrontational, funny, obscene or so blunt it's depressing yet cathartic in the way it can be empathetically applied to a variety of situations.

When I'm watching Eminem at Reading, I can't help thinking about my own pain body and how it's possible to carry memories forever like an invisible limb. Tolle says it's possible to dissolve these past experiences, to recognize when they're starting to breathe their hurt into new situations. In his book A New Earth he writes: "We can learn not to keep events alive in our minds, but to return our attention continuously to the pristine, timeless present moment rather than be caught up in mental movie-making"which is to say we're not defined by the past but by our present, that it's possible not to feed the pain body and subconsciously repeat patterns.

As he said on "Rap God," Eminem has got "enough rhymes, to maybe try to get some people through some tough times." That's his USP and it's not a faultit's a good, cathartic, needed thing. But if there's one last grand trick he can pull that doesn't involve him battle-rapping until there's no more spaghetti left in Italy, it's how he can be a vehicle for each of us to see what emotional baggage we may still be carrying around; to learn to let go and become so fully present we're able to move smoothly between the so-called immovable parts of the past.

In 2008, The New York Times called Eckhart Tolle "the most popular spiritual author in the United States." His bestsellers, The Power of Now and A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose have sold 20 million copies worldwide. Oprah Winfrey calls Tolle "a prophet for our times... essential spiritual readings." In speaking about The Power of Now, Deepak Chopra remarked, "Every sentence rings with truth and power."

This weekend (Thursday, August 31 and Friday & Saturday, September 1 & 2, all 7 pm) the River Street Theatre in Jaffrey will present the filmed adaptation of Tolle's novel (with Robert S. Friedman), Milton's Secret starring Donald Sutherland and Michelle Rodriguez.

Twelve-year-old Milton Adams (William Ainscough) feels his world is in crisis. With his parents (Mia Kirshner & David Sutcliffe) stressing about their careers and finances, and the neighborhood bully (Percy Hynes-White) tormenting him, he is constantly anxious. But when Milton's optimistic Grandpa (Donald Sutherland) comes to visit, he learns the secret to finding true happiness from a man who has seen the world and who has committed to living life in the 'now'.

SpiritualityandParactice.com calls Milton's Secret "A transformational film about a radiant octogenarian passing on his spiritual wisdom to his grandson."

Tickets for the Milton's Secret (Rated PG) are $8.00 (seniors, military, students, teachers $7.00). More program and schedule information, as well as ticket purchases, can be found at riverst.org or by calling the RST Box Office (603) 532-8888. The after-hours box office can be reached by calling OvationTix at (866) 811-4111.

The River Street Theatre is located in downtown Jaffrey, New Hampshire at 6 River Street. The River Street Theatre is sponsored by Grove Street Fiduciary, Coca-Cola, the Board of Trustees of the Park Theatre, Janet S. Grant, Betty Locke, Owen Houghton and the James F. & Fernande Kelly Charitable Trust.

The Park Theatre first opened in Jaffrey in 1922 and was the center of community life as a movie and vaudeville house for 54 years until it closed in 1976. Purchased by The Park Theatre, Inc. in 2006, it will be rebuilt as a state-of-the-art film and performing arts center, featuring two auditoriums seating 485, presenting movies, live theatre, including children's productions, concerts, and lectures as well as offering a place for business and community gatherings for the Monadnock Region and its 100,000 residents, school districts and dynamic artistic community. The new Park Theatre is scheduled to open in 2018.

The Park Theatre currently operates the River Street Theatre (RST), a small live entertainment and cinema venue, located adjacent to the construction site as an interim theatre until the new Park Theatre opens. Opened in January of 2017, the RST holds the title of "smallest theatre in New England." Visit http://www.theparktheatre.org for more information.

The world No. 9 beat Carla Suarez Navarro 6-3, 3-6, 6-1 to book her place in the quarter-finals at the 2017 US Open.

Williams, 37, has now taken her record in majors to 19-3 this year with her win over the Spaniard.

And when asked about her longevity and what motivates her to succeed, she put it down to her sister Serena and the rest of her family.

Serena said: I dont know. If I did I would put it in a box and sell it.

I love the game and youve got to have health, fitness, skill, desire and the love.

My sister motivates me a lot and my family too.

She also gave some fighting talk after reaching her 39th career quarter-final by insisting she he is here to take the US Open title.

For me Im focused on myself and try to be aggressive as possible, Williams added.

Nobody ever gives you a Slam, youve got to take it - so Im going to try and take it.

Up next for the American at Flushing Meadows is a clash with either Garbine Muguruza or Petra Kvitova.

US Open 2017: Venus Williams puts motivation down to Serena ... - Express.co.uk

Its the voice in your head that that tells you to push through past seemingly impossible fatigue on the gridiron. Its the thought that keeps your motor running at a supreme level on the hardwood.

Its getting your parents that new house, its retiring your grandmother, its, simply, never wanting to be picked last again.

Motivating factors in sports range from the simple to the simply inconceivable; but theyre all necessary factors in the production of elite talent.

Every Monday well catch up with elite athletes on all levels and get them to dish on the single most powerful motivating factor thats gotten them to where they are now.

Today we caught up with New Albanys (New Albany, Ind.) Romeo Langford, the No. 1 shooting guard in the ESPN 100.

The greatest motivating factor thats gotten me to where I am today isThinking about the outcome of what could happen if I continue to work hard. My ultimate goal is to make it to the NBA and when Im in the gym and in games I just try and focus on working harder. Every play, every possession, every rep I just try and go harder because I know that pushing it more and more will put me in the best position to accomplish my goal one day.

Here are the fruits of Romeo Langfords motivation.

Press Release

A recent study indicated that financial rewards are not enough to encourage people to perform certain tasks

In a report conducted by the National Bureau of Economic Research, they discovered that despite receiving an Amazon gift card, customers were not sufficiently motivated to visit the gym any more.

Researchers divided 800 new members of a gym into four groups. The first group received a $30 Amazon gift card after six weeks, unconditionally. The second, third and fourth groups were rewarded for going to the gym at least nine times in the first six weeks of membership (with a $30 amazon gift card, a $60 amazon gift card and an item of their choosing from Amazon worth about $30, respectively). In the first six weeks, those promised rewards made just 0.14 more visits to the gym on average than the group who did not receive a reward.

About Roar Ambition: http://www.roar-ambition.co.uk/about-us/

The Roar Ambition workforce has been investigating these findings, most recently studying the results on the effect of financial incentives on motivation recall; an observation from Dan Arielys 2016 book Payoff. Ariely argued that financial incentives are not the sole source of inspiring motivation in people. Instead, a study conducted by Ariely and colleagues found workers who received compliments from their boss performed much better than those who received financial bonuses. The result, Ariely suggests, indicate intrinsic motivation is much more powerful than cash incentives. With this in mind, the Liverpool based firm recognise integral rewards provide far greater motivation when completing an activity, than being paid to do would.

The report suggests that it would be a rather difficult task to push someone into regularly exercising. Especially, if an individual found working out to be an intolerable, gruelling experience. In response to the results of the study, Roar Ambition have shared their conclusion that if someones heart is not in what that they do, it would be unlikely for them to succeed. The motivation necessary to perform a task more regularly and successfully must come from an intrinsic motivation or desire to do so, says the sales and marketing collective.

Roar Ambition understands that in the world of business, intrinsic motivation is a much more powerful and meaningful tool. The firm believe by offering a companys workforce this form of motivation, members of the workforce will be better at boosting one anothers morale and desire for meeting company targets. By creating a team and an environment team members appreciate, a company will reap the benefits by gaining a set of individuals who are passionate and enthusiastic about the industry.

Based in Liverpool, Roar Ambition aims to be king of the sales world like the lion is the apex at the very top of the food chain. By combining motivation, determination and ambition, Roar Ambition will stop at nothing to achieve their goal to become the top tier of their industry. As sales is an extremely competitive industry, Roar ambition aims to become the number one choice for outsourced sales in the UK through the unique direct marketing campaigns offered at the firm, personalised to suit the individual needs of both the client and the consumer.
