Helping You With Life Problems

Jill Whalen — Tue, 01 Jul 2014 15:06:38 +0000

A friend of mine was in town recently and told me how she and her brother have been estranged for many years, however, she wanted to try to reunite with him. So she made some kind gestures to him, but he seemed to rebuff them. While she felt hurt by that, she continued to want to […]

What is The Energy Behind Life?

Jill Whalen — Fri, 13 Jun 2014 17:08:03 +0000

I grew up without any religion. While my parents are Jewish by birth, other than eating deli and knishes on occasion, I didn’t (and still don’t) know anything about Judaism. There was no talk about God (either for or against) in my house and very early on I had decided that God was simply something […]

Seeing Our True Self and That of Others Underneath Our Ego Slime

Jill Whalen — Sun, 01 Jun 2014 16:00:45 +0000

When I graduated college way back in the olden days of 1983, I landed a job with Prime Computer in their Business Practices department. My main job was performing simple word processing (typing documents into the computer) of the internal company handbooks which were created by others in our department. Once a particular handbook’s information was in the […]

6 Similarities Between SEO and Personal Development

Jill Whalen — Fri, 23 May 2014 20:07:31 +0000

After nearly 20 years in the SEO industry, I learned a lot of things about how it worked. Now that my transformational journey has taken me down another path, I’m learning about completely different stuff. With my website marketing background, however, I can’t help but see similarities between it and personal development. In fact, I’ve […]

Change Who You Think You Are By Changing Your Perceptions

Jill Whalen — Tue, 20 May 2014 20:22:40 +0000

Most of us carry around a certain image of ourselves. I certainly did and still do, but I didn’t realize until recently how malleable that image can be. For most of my life I believed I was someone who was inherently lazy, a procrastinator, allergic to vegetables and exercise (not literally!), a decent singer who could/would never […]

How I Realized That Thoughts Create Feelings

Jill Whalen — Wed, 14 May 2014 12:00:48 +0000

A few months ago I finally grasped a concept that I had been grappling with for quite some time: Thoughts create feelings not the other way around. The difference between generally happy people, and generally sad (or mad, or whatever) people is their ability understand that simple concept. While I had heard this over and […]

Getting Caught Up With One’s Thoughts in Business Situations

Jill Whalen — Mon, 12 May 2014 14:41:07 +0000

Recently, a friend who has a small consulting firm called me for some advice about a business situation. He told me of a client who had signed off on a proposal and was ready to move forward with his services. Wanting to get a good feel for exactly what would be needed to get started, […]

Wipe Each Day’s Slate Clean of Judgment

Jill Whalen — Tue, 29 Apr 2014 23:32:28 +0000

Inevitably when interacting with people, they will say or do things you may not like. Your feelings about the situation are essentially judgments about the people involved. Each judgement you make contributes to the way you think (and therefore feel) about them. For whatever reason, our ego minds have the need to classify and categorize people; however, that doesn’t mean our classifications are true. They’re […]

Hey everyone! Here’s what I learned last week: Monday, Mar. 31, 2014 How to make the mug muffins I learned about last week into savory ones: I first sauteed some mushroom, onion, spinach, and uncured turkey bacon (which appeared to basically be ham).
