My Favorite Self-Help Stuff

Imagine you're in a bookstore, heading for the self-help isle. What would you be looking for?

Okay, it changes of course. Whatever your interest of the moment may be. But let's think for a moment: What kinds of books do you expect to be there? Probably not ones on bowling, though bowling could conceivably be quite therapeutic when you're stressed. Nor will there be books on sailing, even though sailing too takes you very much out of your stuff (especially if you're sailing on a small boat).

Well, here's some of what I'd be looking for:

Info on how to make my life happier, more relaxed, less stressful, more self-empowered, more enRICHed ;-) Yay to the last one!

That's my idea of self-help. And, well, the last one is not usually found in the self-help isle either, except for maybe the books directly related to the psychological aspects of money issues.

But they should be. Remember Maslow's hierarchy of needs? If the basics aren't met, you don't really get to the higher-level stuff. So that's a really important part of self-empowerment.

Steve Pavlina, my favorite personal growth guru has it right. He includes it in his blog and forum.

And since I have limited space here in this lens, you may want to check out some of my other lenses too. Or my blog:

Here a couple of quick tips, gleaned straight from Abraham and then elaborated upon:

"Nothing is as important as that you feel good"
-- Abraham

What can we learn from this. No, this is not the manifesto of an egotist. Truth is, we're not much use to anyone, ourselves or others, if we don't feel good. So the number one thing we have to do is take care of ourselves:

Sleep well and enough hours for starters. If you don't get enough sleep... you know what happens.

Eat well, meaning give your body food with the nutrients etc. it needs.

Move. Give your body the exercise it needs to stay healthy.

And keep your vibrations high. For more on the latter, check out my free newsletter...
