Resolve to Live Consciously: Staying Connected from the Inside/Out

Image
  Staying Connected from the Inside/Out By, Nafije Prishtina We use the word consciousness often, but do we know its real meaning, and can we learn to be more attuned with our consciousness?  Let's check the real definition of the word consciousness. Based on the Merriam-Webster dictionary, consciousness is defined-as the state of being characterized by sensation, emotion, volition, and thought. My favorite teacher, David Hawkins, in his book Power vs. Force gives an example to help us understand this important concept. He said: “Consciousness is our true power-which helps us open our mind to more self-awareness!” In other words, our conscious plays the main role in our personal development and growth. We need to be more aware of our consciousness (emotions, believes, intuition and thoughts) as they affect our ability to form our attitudes, our choices and overall our will for life. In an interview for Global Women Academy, Dr. Ervin Laszlo explained that individu...

Don’t Give Up!

Image
By, Kathy Shabotynskyj & Nafije Prishtina As we find ourselves at the epicenter of Covid-19 in the USA, we are sharing this experience with everyone else in the world. That is amazing all by itself. While we are all in this together , have you noticed how time is flying and standing still simultaneously? Inherently, we know time is marching on, but our individual and collective perception of time is certainly skewed. For me, and most everyone I know, life as we knew it has hit the pause button. We are experiencing something special and a new understanding of 24 hours in a day.   Yes, we are facing uncertainty and challenges. I am finding an abundance of time, few professional demands and no deadlines. Being an extrovert by nature, social distancing is an added challenge. I’m squandering most of my time. Is it because there is so much time available? My intention is to be productive. That is not happening. The uncertainty may be a factor. But I am not giving u...

Mindfulness-based Time -Stress Management for Success in Life “ I did my very best today….this is the feeling we all crave to have at the end of the day. The feeling of accomplishment brings peace into our hearts!” - Nafije K. Prishtina Are your 2020 goals written down? Do you have a system in place to plan/organize your days and weeks? Do you schedule time regularly to evaluate your progress and implement changes? One key to success and happiness is to understand that time management is all about life management.

Success, in the inside out context, allows us to care and improve ourselves and this also allows us to serve others. Yes, your e...

Believing:Staying connected with God from the inside out

Believing: Staying connected with God from the inside out Written by Life Coach Nafije Prishtina   Edited by Career Coach Kathy Shabotynskyj “When we live in peace from inside we have the power to transmit that positive energy that resides in us outwards; our energy and our positive actions affect our internal /external environment and will contribute to BRING MORE WORLD PEACE!” Nafije Prishtina Some things in life we just can't buy ; the feeling of peace is free and it is within ourselves; all we need to access peace is to take our time and reflect on our beliefs. Ask yourself if you truly believe that you are connected with something greater than you! No matter how strong our faith in God, it can fluctuate.   Some days our faith is stronger and some days it is weaker. And the process of keeping our faith in God “as if you were to see God” is the real adventure in life. Let’s remember that even if you were the Pope or the Buddha, most likely y...

Life Hack: Social Accountability-How a Coach Can Catapult Your Success– Part 4

By,  Kathy Shabotynskyj & Nafije Prishtina The most important aspect of the 4S Time Management tool is the social component. 4S suggests that working with a coach is crucial for high level tasks for both event and time-based Prospective Memory.   A coach uses creative strategies to propel your effective self–management, including incentives and rewards resulting in growth and progress. Braver, (2012) suggested one way to motivate individuals is by providing a reward. The reward induces a level of importance and its effectiveness can be varied by the kind of reward, by the amount of reward or by manipulating the attractiveness (or unattractiveness) of the prospective memory task (i.e., the reward is the benefit of remembering the intention and for making progress on daily tasks.) The reward concept is supported by neuropsychological findings; providing a reward increased activation in prefrontal regions which support the control and active maintenance of task-goals an...
