Women can control time management well by finding their lost time. Lost time is when you did not even appreciate that you were squandering it in the first place. It is almost like keeping change in a piggy bank, and one day you know it, you have over $100!

1. Do not waste the time that most people do.

There are ways to find a time often unnoticed because women tend to think about time management as their big blocks of time available. But you can do a lot in just ten or fifteen minutes.

Do not waste away the time you have while waiting at the doctor’s office or exercising. For example, if you enjoy using a treadmill, you can get a standing desk to work on something with a fast-approaching deadline while you walk.

2. Appreciate that not everything that appears crucial is.

Sometimes things only seem important. Examine your life and stop doing the things that are not critical, and drain your time. If something is not a matter of being happy and succeeding personally or professio...

When you are living in the moment, your focus is on that moment only. The past and the future cannot touch you.

It is a difficult task to put your feelings about the past or future aside. It is like when someone says, "Don't think of a hippo in a pink tutu!" You thought of one just now, didn't you?

Well, your grief is sometimes that hippo in a pink tutu, and it seems like there is nowhere to turn. In these situations, you can look for help by thinking in the present moment.

Staying in the present takes practice. While you are learning how to live in the moment, remember that it gets easier as time goes on.

Using Meditation

You can control your thoughts. One practice that is all about staying in the present moment is meditation.

This easy practice can also assist you in getting over your grief.

Meditation tips:

• Create a meditation schedule - 30 minutes daily.
• Go to someplace where you are alone and can relax.
• Sit in a position with good posture.
• Tak...

What if I told you I would give you $1,000 to make a significant public speech? Would you take me up on the deal? Like most of us, you most likely recoiled at the idea right away, even though it may well be lucrative for you! Why didn't this idea appeal to you?

When the very notion of certain activities evokes fear or anxiety within you, it is because they are outside your comfort zone. Public speaking, for example, is outside most people's comfort zone.

Our comfort zone is the sphere of actions we feel comfortable with and can achieve with no negative emotions. It also consists of people, places, and things that bring about only positive thoughts within us.

How Important is this Comfort Zone?

A comfort zone may limit your capabilities and make you abandon your dreams and goals. Or, it can drive you on to great things. Your comfort zone can define both your personality and your promise for success.

Countless successful people achieve their goals because they can exp...

Learning to let go and forgive is a noble act. It can help you have peace with yourself and others. However great the benefits, though, it is not always an easy thing to achieve.

Minor transgressions are easy to forgive and forget. But then there are the big things for which you may feel the need to cling onto for long periods. You might tell yourself that you have let it go, but ultimately you have not. In these challenging situations, there are techniques that you can use to let go and find peace finally.

Learning to Forgive

It is essential to learn to forgive. Holding onto resentments or hatred only hurts you. It can lead to foul moods, depression, or even health conditions. When you hold onto resentment, you allow a situation to burden your future.

Forgiveness is the right choice to make, but it does not mean that you have forgotten what has happened. You might even still hold someone else accountable for the wrong. With forgiveness, you are simply deciding to move...

At least 90% of people will tell you that they do not relish change. Change is not easy because people are creatures of habit. You want to continue living in a specific schedule once you have conditioned your body and mind to function in that way. This makes you feel secure with your surroundings and decisions.

Even if you do not like change, there are ways to make healthy lifestyle changes easier. You can also use tools to welcome change into your life, even when entering new uncharted territory.

Here are three ways to make lifestyle changes easier for you:

1. Establish the Pros and Cons. If you recognize that you need to make changes in your life and are not looking forward to doing so, you can carry out a simple exercise that will make the transition simpler to handle.

Take a sheet of paper. On one side, write "Pros." On the other side, write, "Cons." On the corresponding side, you will note the pros and cons of the change to see the benefits and drawbacks.

Happy - a state of well-being and contentment that we reach when we feel satisfied.

This so-called ‘pursuit of happiness’ is a mission that takes most women the majority of their lives but never really seems conquered. We put a lot of energy and thought into things and people supposed to make us happy, to find out that they can’t.

Your attitude impacts your entire life. Your career, happiness, relationships, and satisfaction are all affected by your attitude.

Do you generally have a positive attitude? Are you an optimist or a pessimist? How do you think this influences your life?

Use these 12 strategies to maintain a positive attitude:

Criticism is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, it can improve you, but on the other hand, it can shatter your confidence if you allow it. Understanding how to deal with criticism is vital to improving yourself in both your personal and professional lives.

How does it feel if someone criticizes you? Maybe you have had someone criticize your work effort or personal aspects of your life. You might feel hurt or angry, and you may even become defensive.

There are so many times when we have to deal with criticism that it’s essential to learn how to deal with it. Indeed, you don’t want someone else’s opinion to prevent you from having a happy and productive life.

Dealing with Constructive Criticism vs. Destructive Criticism

The first action in dealing with criticism is to figure out whether it is worth considering. Sometimes we may mistake personal attacks for criticism. They are not the same!

• There are two forms of criticism: constructive criticism, which is to hel

Let's face facts, ladies: life is full of both nasty and good surprises. You cannot live your life worried about bad news. Otherwise, you will numb yourself with fear. Instead, you must become extra resilient and learn to expect the unexpected.

You really can learn how to cope with unexpected news and become a stronger, more confident person in times of pressure.

Let's go through a variety of ways to make coping with the unexpected more straightforward.

Expect the Unexpected

Did you ever receive that phone call from someone to cancel a get-together you were looking forward to having? This is a highly trivial example of unexpected news, but it represents what we all deal with daily.

You may feel disappointed or annoyed, especially if you devoted time planning for the event. But, you have a couple of choices: move on and make the best of the day or let it spoil your mood and hold you back.

Ask yourself: what do you usually do when you face something unexpected?

Did you know that fear is debilitating? It can totally ruin your day or even, in some cases, your life! Fear is an emotion, and while sometimes it is very valid and can help preserve your life, there are other times it must be faced and dealt with to be free.

Here are some practical strategies you can use to overcome your fears:

1. Do you know your fears? If you can identify them, you are off to a good start. Can whatever you fear hurt you? Begin to conquer your fears by determining if they are rational or irrational.

• When you fear things that cannot harm you in any way, you are acting with irrational fears. In reality, there is not anything to fear there. But it sure is easier said than done!
• When they can hurt you, then there is justification in your fears. In this case, you can work out a backup plan that affords you some level of comfort.

2. What do other women do? Whatever your fears are, someone else has experienced them as well. Search out women who share y

I don't know about you, but there are times when I feel less than fine. Low, grouchy, fed-up, and bored are the words I use to describe what I am like on those days, and I am almost certainly not the greatest company. The thing is, times like those are part of being human – it is not an elective. There will always be off days, and that is all right.

But what happens after you get a whole string of those off-days, maybe lasting weeks, months, or even years?

Too many women say that they are in a rut, feel stuck, fed-up, or bored and admit that they do not want things to be that way. But we do not know what to do to change. That is the problem. When you are in a rut, you do not have the strength or motivation to shift things for the better. And it is hard to find the insight or resources you must to do that jump.

Here are things to do right now to climb, or better yet, leap, out of the rut:

1. Do things differently

Life has a tendency to run smoothly after we establish syst...
