What a great time of the year to sit back and reflect on your goals for the new year! Let’s be honest and acknowledge the wisdom from Dr. Bruening’s quote “the new year won’t solve all problems” so we must be clear about what we want to do differently this year to overcome the problems. My colleague’s tagline for this year: “2022, it’s for you!” What do you want in 2022? When you are planning your goals for the year, it is best to think with the end in mind, envisioning yourself as if you are already doing the things that you aspire to do. Just like when you want to make something for dinner, you plan the dish that you want to make, create the menu, then, make sure you have all the ingredients and supplies to make your dish. Once you know what you want to make and you have all the ingredients, you then follow the pre-set directions from the recipe, step by step to ensure a successful and delicious dish. That same formula applies to almost everything in life; when you are st...

HOW TO PRACTICE MINDFULNESS AT WORK? Life Coach Nafije Prishtina Let’s face it, every job comes with challenges due to multiple simultaneous projects, deadlines, and interdisciplinary teamwork. Challenges can motivate us but sometimes it can also cause us extra stress. Often job postings are seeking those skilled in working in a fast-paced environment.

You are invited to read my previous Mindfulness-based  time-stress management blog posts ; but today’s focus is on Workplace Mindfulness. You will learn...

  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...
