5 Steps to Out Tough, Tough Days
Monday, October 20th, 2008by Success Expert Sharmen Lane
Tough days. We all have them. Is it reasonable to think that we are never going to face adversity? Not really. I once had someone say it would be great to date a motivational speaker, there’s no negativity.” As I am a motivational speaker I can tell you, no negativity is just not possible. But what can you do to make those tough days a little less rough.
- The first thing is to be aware and accept that things are just not always going to go your way. Sometimes things simply don’t go the way you want them to. Acceptance of "what is" will.
- Once you realize things thing are going askew, stop what you are doing, and take a slow deep breath. Take 5 seconds to breathe in and 5 seconds to exhale. This is almost like stopping the clock and resetting it.
- Change your physiology. Stand up and shake it off. Dance, jump up and down, shift your posture into a one of power. Shoulders back, head up, etc.
- Have a happy or good mood song. Is there a song that when you hear it, you can’t help but smile or feel good? Think right now about a song you like or simply pay attention to one that raises your spirits when you hear it. Have several songs that you can play so you are not only getting in a good mood you are staying there. Make a CD or download a bunch of songs onto your ipod and play them whenever you feel the need.
- Start your day off with something good. Do you enjoy a quiet cup of coffee by yourself? Maybe you like to run or exercise to begin day. Maybe you like a cup of tea and the news, or maybe you like to belly dance to Shikira. Whatever your thing is, do it first thing when you get up. No better way to start the day than with something that makes you smile.

Monday, October 13th, 2008By Personal Growth Expert Sharmen Lane
What do you call success? Is it money, status, title, or possessions? Or perhaps it’s being a good parent, or spouse, or daughter or son. Success is different for everyone. No matter how you define it, it’s important to be clear and achieve it.

Monday, September 22nd, 2008by Success Expert Sharmen Lane
Every choice we make has a consequence. Some will be good, some bad and other indifferent. Sometimes your choices will all be awful, but you still have a choice. Not making a choice is making a choice. C. Wright Mills said, "Freedom is, first of all, the chance to formulate the available choices, to argue over them — and then, the opportunity to choose. Wayne Dyer says, "Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice."

Monday, September 22nd, 2008by Personal Growth Expert Sharmen Lane
Fear is the number one barrier that stops us from getting what we want. However, there are really only two types of fears. Real fears and fake fears. The saddest part is that fake fears are what hold us back far more than real ones.
What’s the difference? A real fear is something that can cause physical harm or death. A fake fear is something that only exists in your mind and can change depending on your perspective.
For example, real fears are things like Ophidiophobia or Arachnophobia which are better known as the fear of snakes or spiders. These are things that could cause you physical harm or death. That would be a real fear.
On the flip side, you have fake fears. These are things that only exist in our minds. Things like fear of failure, success, rejection, etc. These things will not cause you physical harm or death. You will not suffer any injuries and you won’t die. You won’t end up in the hospital if you fail at something. Essentially nothing bad happens. So why is it that things like fear of failure or rejection hold us back from getting what we want?
Ego. (to learn more about the ego read The Power of Now) Ego is the reason things like failure and rejection stop us from making progress or working towards our goal. Silly if you think about it, isn’t it? Why would you not work towards something even if you might fail? So what if you fail. Failure is just a matter of perspective. In my mind there is no such thing as failure. There are only results. If I don’t get the results I’m looking for I’d bet I learned something along the way. That’s called learning and I simply will not believe that anything learned is a waste. Lessons are lessons and the important thing is to learn them.
If you find that you are not making progress or are not taking any action at all towards a goal, ask yourself what you are afraid of. No matter what the answer is, ask the next two questions. Will this cause me physical harm? Will this cause my death? Likelihood is the answer is no. So step up to the plate and swing. What do you really have to lose? Honestly, the only thing you have to lose is the opportunity to get exactly what you want.

What to do when you’re feeling blue
Monday, September 15th, 2008By Success Expert Sharmen Lane, Motivational Speaker and Self Help Author.
We all have bad days. So I have written a little poem to pick you up when you are feeling blue. I hope it puts a little spring in your step like it does for me.
Reach for the stars.
Divine, complete, perfect that’s what you are.
You can have what you want, sky is the limit.
Whatever it is, go out and get it.
Strive for the best, you deserve it al.l
Make the choice, rise up high, and stand tall.
You’ve got the world in the palm of your hand.
Make a difference, aim high, take a stand.
Be strong, look in the mirror and love what you see.
When you dream, dream big, be all you can be.
Put the past behind you, forget all the strife.
Now is the time, take control of your life.
Have no fear, be courageous, you can do it, have no doubt..
Today is the day, set your goals, make them count.
What is it that you want to achieve?
Trust me, its all in what you believe.
One thing to remember if you do you’ll go far.
All you must do is reach for the stars.
