There's something seductive and intoxicating about being a creative butterfly - those gorgeous flashing wings that flit from beautiful flower to beautiful flower - the constant heady sipping of nectar and the basking in the warm sun with wings ablaze for all to see. I don't know if there's a creative butterfly in all of us, but there certainly is in me. And left to its own devices, left in control, it can be a very damaging creature. For people at the very beginning of their creative journey, butterflyism can actually stop them ever getting started in the first place. When you are equally attracted by so many different flowers, it becomes difficult to properly settle on any. Choosing becomes near...

cl It is very common for clients walking in my office to say to me that they feel trapped by their life and they just can’t seem to make the changes that they know they want to make. They say they want things to be different but they just don’t see how it is possible. Perhaps, you have found yourself thinking this way as well. The bottom line is, that whether you are aware of it or not, everything that you have at this moment required that you followed a series of steps. Getting what you really want is no different. So…. The real question is: On what level can you make a change now? Regardless of the goal, or even if you do not clearly know what the goal is, there is almost always a...

Here's an all-too-common problem: You are stumped for a solution to a problem. You need new ideas and you need to turn on your creative mind. Next time you find yourself in this situation, try this method for coming up with new ideas: 1. Write out a list of open-ended questions that describe the problem you are trying to solve. The more thoroughly you write about the problem in the form of questions, the better your answers will be. 2. Next get outside and take a walk. Really you can be flexible here, you can also go hiking, running or hop on a bike. The main two ingredients you are looking for are fresh air and exercise. 3. Often your ideas will come to you while you are walking and you will...

Aphasia is a language disorder that results from damage to portions of the brain that are responsible for language. For most people, these are parts of the left side (hemisphere) of the brain. Aphasia usually occurs suddenly, often as the result of a stroke or head injury, but it may also develop slowly, as in the case of a brain tumor. The disorder impairs the expression and understanding of language as well as reading and writing. Aphasia may co-occur with speech disorders such as dysarthria or apraxia of speech, which also result from brain damage. Some people with aphasia have trouble using words and sentences (expressive aphasia). Some have problems understanding others (receptive aphasia...

What is it that allows you to wake up in the morning feeling energized and inspired? The particulars are going to vary, but I think the majority of us feel most alive when we experience being aligned with some greater purpose. That purpose is often related to becoming more of who we are, to giving ourselves permission to freely and unselfconsciously use all of our natural gifts , and to having the willingness and the courage to continually grow, learn and stretch ourselves in order to live a truly authentic life. We all know what it feels like when we are totally engaged in our lives, and how deeply satisfying it is when we experience being in the flow with all cylinders firing. But too frequently...

I am sure that you have heard the expression that success is a habit. Well it is accurate. Some of us were fortunate enough to learn the habit as we grew up, some of us learned it but only in certain areas of our life, and some of us did not get the information we needed to thrive and as a result success does not seem possible. But success, in whatever way you see it, does not need to be elusive anymore. With the right information and the right support, you can have the life you have most deeply wanted. Steps to take to counteract a habit of disbelief: • Dream: Set aside a half hour and imagine what things would be like were they exactly how you wanted to them to be. Write this down and reread...

When we understand that we are not separate from our wants and needs, we are able to more competently and confidently create what we most deeply want. Many of us have adopted a separatist view of our experience, when we could be better served by a holistic view. In a separatist view, everything is out of reach even to some degree what is right in our grasp. In other words, the object, by virtue of it being held, is separate from our hand. In a holistic view, nothing is out of reach because everything is connected. A shift from one view to another can be very helpful in advancing our personal growth. It is common for people, when they are using this separatist thinking, to put whatever they want...

How To Change Anything In my work, I talk with people every day about the things that hold them back from creating the life they want to have. These things range from thoughts of dis-empowerment, feelings of depression or fear, to behaviors like procrastination and avoidance. When I tell them the answer to creating the change they want, it always sounds too good to be true. Usually, if it sounds too good to be true, it is not true, right? This is the one exception: our mind. We complicate our lives to the point that we box ourselves into a corner, with no way out. We create so many boundaries around ourselves, that the light at the end of the tunnel disappears. Just because we do not see the light...

Business is like a parade... As you move along, there are people ahead of you in the parade with more wisdom and experience and those behind you, wanting to know what you know. You can continue marching along and gaining experience and wisdom on your own or you can find ways to move forward a little faster. (I guess it's almost like cutting in line at Disneyland!) One way to move forward and learn from those ahead of you in the parade is to take classes. This is a great way to learn in a group setting, gain insights from the questions of others, etc. Another way is to hire one of the people ahead of you as a coach. This is usually a bit more expensive than a class but the value you can receive, if...

Our success, whether it is a lifetime goal or a goal for the year, hinges on our ability to create an accomplishable plan to get there. One of the reasons that change is difficult for people is because they see such a big gap between where they are and their goal. This perceived distance can feel overwhelming and frustrating. But, big things happen step by step. Usually, there is one piece to the puzzle that once in place makes the goal much more achievable. The following paragraphs offer some problem solving tips aimed at helping you figure out and follow through on your plan. How do I pick the right step? Ask yourself: What is one step that I can take today that will lead me closer to where I want...

How do those who are deeply passionate about their work balance their lives? I have written a few articles on the topic of balance and could list several ways “to balance your life” but that does not seem to answer the deeper question that is being asked. This question I suspect is much more complicated than the basics of work/life balance. I had someone say to me once that part of the root meaning of the word passion is to suffer. I suspect that those people who are truly passionate about what they do can relate to this definition of passion -to be passionate about something is to be consumed and driven by it. Where in this experience is the concept of balance? Passion might compel you to...

I recently injured my back. Too much training, topped off by the first mow of the season. This, luckily, gave me the opportunity to take a couple of days off to rest. In addition to lots of rest, I watched a few great movies. One of those was "Be Kind Rewind" with Jack Black and Mos Def. Between scenes of outrageously funny comedy and awkwardness, one of the meaningful lines was, "Let them be a stockholder in their own happiness!" The characters were talking about allowing the community members take part in creating the "sweded" movies, to help them. What a great way to break down the elusive thing we call happiness: take ownership in your process Ever have one of "those" days? When everything goes...

Questions Arise: Will I Live, or Will I Die? When the doctor comes into the room to tell you that you have a serious illness, such as cancer, there are a number of questions that run through your mind. The rush of emotions and feeling of powerlessness can be overwhelming, and learning to cope with serious illness will take time and healing. Though everyone's healing process is different and takes different amounts of time, there are some ways to help you come to peace with the changes that will take place in your life. One of the most difficult things for you to face when coping with serious illness is the possibility of dying. Cancer patients often find themselves struggling with both the idea...

A couple of years ago I went to a one day meditation retreat with Cheri Huber. One of the guided meditations centered on practice. She said that everything in life is practice. And she meant EVERYTHING! At first, I was skeptical. I know that as a musician, the way I practice is the way I perform. For example, I insist that my music students focus on their breathing technique - even when goofing off and playing for their friends. Why? The more they breathe correctly in "fun play," the more likely they are to breathe correctly when on stage. What about the students who ignore my advice? They are the very ones who have a difficult time on stage and perform below their ability. The way I carry myself...

One of my big missions in life is to see everyone celebrate themselves. When my clients walk in the door of my office or speak with me on the phone, the first thing they hear me say is, "How are you?" I mean this in the most sincere sense of the phrase. The second question I always ask is, "What happened since I saw/spoke with you last?" This is often perceived as the most important question. It is not. The most important question is, "How did you celebrate that?" No matter the outcome of the first and second question, the third question holds the most valuable information for potential personal growth. Too often, we forget to celebrate ourselves, our accomplishments, our failures. Yes, I did just...

"We're lost but we're making good time." Yogi Berra As I walk through my painting studio on any given day I am sure to hear at least one plaintive cry of " I hate this painting because it doesn't make any sense!" or " I can't believe that I've spent so much time working on this absolutely meaningless painting!!" There is an assumption when people first begin an intuitive painting practice that understanding what is happening in their painting is an important part of the process. They think that the healing that is intrinsic to engaging with their creativity can only happen if they are painting something that is clearly meaningful. It is common and natural to want to know what something means as it...

I license my art and teach artists how licensing works and if they are interested, how to go about it. "Licensing" your art basically means you are granting the right to someone (a manufacturer) to use your art on something (their product) in exchange for royalties based on sales. The beauty of this system is that you can license the same art to many different companies, as long as they are putting the art on different products. That allows you to earn income from several companies, over time, instead of getting one upfront amount for selling the art outright. Licensing is one of three basic ways companies get art to put on their products. There is no 'right' or 'wrong' way - it all depends on the...

Metal plates, cube-shaped, usually seen in yards, on ships or “left alone” in a corner of a firm: that’s the way we’re accustomed to seeing containers, cold and inanimate, only used for industrial purposes. Who would have ever thought that a light ‘make-up’ would have transformed them into real objects of art and/or containers for art? This has just happened in Genoa, Bologna and Bergamo. The latest news refers to Bergamo, where a container used for naval purposes and abandoned some five years ago has been done up and transformed into a lounge area dedicated to relaxing. But above all, containers have become objects of art. It is exactly because they’re easy to transport that...

Parents nowadays, are interested more in treatments of ADHD alternatives rather than conservative treatments such as prescription drugs. But if you are looking for ADHD alternative treatments, you might also want to know how effective these treatments are. Though prescription drugs are widely used, many studies show that they also produce many side effects in children whereas the ADHD alternative treatments usually employ natural products such as herbs and hence no side effects.

The question of how exercise or lack of exercise plays a role in the lives of ADHD children is an interesting one. Researchers believe lack of exercise doesn't cause ADHD but a lack of exercise contributes to the severity of ADHD and the propensity of ADHD children to pursue other activities which might. To understand this first we must understand the primary symptoms of ADHD. They are: inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity. The five characteristics in the order of frequently seen in those with ADHD are hyperactivity, perceptual motor impairment, emotional instability, general coordination deficit, and disorders of attention. In evaluating the above symptoms one could easily see how an...

Mention homeopathy ADHD treatment and most doctors will turn a deaf ear unless they are homeopaths themselves. The main argument against homeopathy is that the solutions are so highly diluted that they cannot possible have any effect on human tissues or organs. But, as homeopaths will tell you, they do have an effect and they do cure some ailments. The exact mechanism may not be understood but they do work. Ask your doctor if he really understands how an amphetamine drug like Concerta works on a child's neurotransmitters and he will not be able to tell you because nobody in the medical establishment to-day can answer that question. And that goes for many other drugs used to-day in modern medicine...

I was one of those blubbering ADHD children that cried about everything. I cried, without fail, every morning and my mother reports that I did not stop crying until I was in High School. I mostly cried about going to school. My mother says that she had to dis-enroll me from Kindergarten because the teachers complained that I would cry so much that I would throw-up. I stopped throwing up in first grade because the 'kind' Sisters of St. Joseph, who ran the Catholic School that I attended in first through third grade, had a basket for the poor that was full of old clothes. If I threw up, I got to wear a piece of clothing from the basket for the poor. The basket for the poor did not stop my crying but...

Let me ask you another question. How realistic is it to put a child on a stimulant drug which could alter his neural development? How realistic is it to put a child on a drug like Modafinil which has the potential for drug abuse in the patient? The FDA obviously thought it was unrealistic and they have now rejected the use of this drug in children. They know that child ADHD treatment means psychostimulants for the vast majority of people with ADD and ADHD. Just in case you come across this drug, the brand names are Alertec and Provigil. A natural cure for ADHD kids will not get much promotion or massive publicity campaigns but that should not prevent parents from looking at this alternative...

I find the number of medicines available today in the world market amazing and unbelievable because of its volume and number. However, what is more amazing is the fact that with so many drugs available now, there is not a single one that can cure ADHD. Although some drugs can control the symptoms of the condition, that is only how far these drugs can go. And what is disappointing is the fact that every single drug available out there has side effects that comes along its benefits to our body. And this is exactly what scares people off from taking medicines. No wonder a lot of people are looking for better substitutes and alternative to these drugs. Thankfully, started about 5000 years ago, the...

Most doctors will tell you that a neurotransmitter imbalance is the primary cause of your child's attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. While there is no doubt that a lack of dopamine and norepinephrine makes a child more hyperactive and inattentive, it is not enough to know that a neurotransmitter deficiency causes ADHD. Where traditional doctors are satisfied with the neurotransmitter deficiency explanation and prescribing medication, alternative medicine digs deeper to find the root cause and provide natural treatments for the disorder. Calcium and the brain In most cases, a calcium deficiency is the reason why the brain produces less norepinephrine and dopamine. We all know that calcium is...

When it comes to the study of ADHD medication long term effects, researchers have been debating the issue for years. There is still a long way to go before this researched has been fully completed. Some studies to date have suggested several harmful effects that could happen to the body. It is yet to be seen if there are undesirable consequences arising from the use of stimulants and other ADHD medication on a long term basis or if these medications are indeed effective in keeping ADHD symptoms under control beyond the acute stages of the disorder. Findings that different researchers propose about ADHD medicine long term effects include both negative and positive results. Some say that there is an...

Youngsters downing Zoloft for ADHD? Are you spoofing me? In my previous psychotherapeutic practice practice, we might prescribe Zoloft for adults with fairly serious psychological difficulties. But now we are prescribing this dangerous stuff to young children& teens. When you are thru with reading this article, you will get why Zoloft may not be the superior alternative for treating ADHD.

Why is there all this talk of ADHD alternative therapy? There must be something wrong with mainstream therapy. Well, quite frankly, there is. The results are not nearly as good as they should be. Medication with the powerful psychostimulants seems to raise more problems than they solve. Just visit the FDA website to get an idea of their worries and concerns. There are also concerns about how these drugs which are basically amphetamines, are being over prescribed in very large quantities for young children. We also know that ADHD is overdiagnosed and this is another concern. Then there are drugs like Abilify, recently put on the market as a drug for schizophrenia and bipolar being also used for...

Risperdal was approved by the FDA for the treatment of adult schizophrenia and approved almost fifteen years later for bipolar disorder in young adults and children.  It has also been approved for irritability for autistic children with lasting aggression.  The approval of this drug for aggression in autistic children was based on a study but not recommended if the child has mild aggression or a volatile temper that does not last. Although risperdal and ADHD do not normally go hand in hand as a treatment, perhaps the child has severe aggression; obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) or possibly the person has Tourette's syndrome, schizophrenia, eating disorders or a depression not able to be treated...

What should the goals for counseling be when the patient has Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder? Every therapist will have their own opinions, but I'll give you some of my thoughts. First, it is important to teach the child or teen with ADHD how to recognize problems and how to solve problems. There are many good problem solving techniques that young people can quickly learn, and these are great tools to teach them. Second, it is important to teach the child or teen how to think before they act, how to be less impulsive, how to have greater self-control. Without good internal controls the natural tendency toward impulsive behaviors will cause the ADHD person many heart aches. Third, it is...

Art is structured like a language. It is simultaneously a conscious and intentional mental activity and a a greater amount of irrational, unconscious form of expression. Art can involve a sense of sudden exhilaration and liberation and also contain a mass of intellectual and emotional reactions. Art has the power to evoke emotions and the power to shock, confuse, repel and enlighten. Language has really similar characteristics. Language is a tool we use to communicate with one a new and to express our emotions and thoughts. Through the terminology of art we can also communicate and evoke response within the viewer. Does artistic instigating lie beyond the sayable and therefore cannot be captured in...

The first ever-recorded goalie mask to be worn in the NHL was sported by Montreal Canadian goaltender Jacques Plante on November 1st, 1959. The mask was plain and simple as Plante's sole purpose for wearing it was to protect himself from injury. The first net-minder to decorate his mask was Gerry Cheevers, who had stitch marks painted on it for every time he was struck in the face with a puck or a stick. That was in 1970, and perhaps his intention was to send an important message. The Artists behind the Goalie Mask As time went on, goalies became more creative with their headgear. The very first artistic mask made its debut in 1974 when Pittsburgh Penguin goalie Jim Rutherford got in between the...
