Break-Up Remorse: 5 tips for dealing with loss

By

"I just broke up with my boyfriend. Did I do the right thing?" Hear one woman's story...

I was signing books at a bookstore the other day and a young woman came up to me. She looked at the title of my book “The Pathway to Love” and asked if she could read some of it while she waited for her friend to arrive. I said “sure” and handed her a copy to explore. About thirty minutes later she came back with the book in hand and tears in her eyes. I waited for her to speak, not sure of what was to come. Finally I asked “Are you okay?”

My name is Gabrielle and I’m a recovering over-thinker. “Recovering” is the operative word. For the past 15 years, I’ve worked hard to overcome my addiction to over-thinking. I was 16 when I realized I was addicted to my thoughts. These thoughts were merely fearful illusions I’d created based on my past experiences and my uncertainty about the future. I was totally consumed by my thoughts and they often manifested in the form of funky behavior.

3 Steps Toward Enjoying The Here And Now

By

Stop obsessing over your future and start appreciating the life you have.

Do you have a case of the "When I haves?" That tripped-up way of thinking goes something like this: "When I have that job," or "When I have that relationship," or "When I have that money . . . then I will be happy." It's a dangerous habit that leads to depressing, self-perpetuating thoughts like, "When will I get there?" and "Why am I not there yet?"

Learn how to activate your self-worth and raise your net-worth!

I recently read through the new national report on women called Women in America: Indicators of Social and Economic Well-Being. Among all the amazing facts about women’s progress was one piece of data that hasn’t changed much: the unfortunate fact that women still earn 20% less than men. I get totally angry thinking of my hard-working female contemporaries under-earning. My immediate reaction is to blame men, society and government for putting us women in this situation. But the self-help junkie in me knows better.

Men report needing to be touched and talked softly to more than women? Could it be they need hugs mo

For a Healthy Relationship, Never Say No to Cuddling When couples come to see me with their first complaint being that they haven’t had sex in several months, there is palpable tension. They panic, and search for reasons why. When sex is going well, it is 5% of the relationship. However, when sex isn’t going well, it may become 95% of the relationship. A recent study reported in the Daily Mail suggested that more important than sex for a couple’s happiness and health is cuddling. Cuddling provides many benefits besides a sense of security and closeness.

How to Take a Good Dating Profile Photo

If a picture is worth a thousand words, on a dating site, it's like ten thousand.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, a profile picture is worth at least ten thousand. Profile pictures for online dating sites are a big deal, whether you like it or not. On most sites, it goes beyond just the profile picture. A lot of sites offer an opportunity to post other pictures too. So, for the photo-phobic it can feel like a lot of pressure. The right profile picture will get you noticed. The wrong profile picture will get attention too, but not the kind you want. The good news is this, getting the right profile picture isn’t about looking like a model.

Giving Too Much

Giving Too Much

How do we women stop giving too much of ourselves in our romantic relationships? Not a new question for sure, and I don’t’ know that my advice is startlingly new either. What seems important about this subject and why I bring it up often with the women in my coaching circle is that the only way to make such a monumental change for our gender is to chip away at it little by little. The paradox is that we women are natural givers and it is in our nature to be focused on our romantic relationships. This makes total sense if you look at it from an evolutionary standpoint.

As a dating a coach I have been learning more and more about what makes a woman attracted to a man.

As a dating a coach I have been learning more and more about what makes a woman attracted to a man. Sometimes the answer is a simple one and I can tell just by observing my client, what is wrong or right. However, other times I am completely stumped. Most of my clients are like this, very successful in every other aspect of their life and yet have never had a girlfriend or an intimate relationship with a woman. I learned quickly that money doesn't get anyone girlfriends. Sure it MIGHT help, but most of the time it works against them.
