The Value of Trust


The value of trust lies within the search for the truth.
[Your Weekly StressTip]


This period of economic challenges and turmoil calls out for
transparency; and the need for investing in "the value of trust."

Although it is hard to measure "the value of trust;" we all have
experienced and know the value of losing trust in someone and
something.

Value is used in this report as being desirable, and trust as
being confident in...

Warren Buffett's statement "Price is what you pay. Value is
what you get." may help in getting a handle on this concept
of "the value of trust."

To be sure, what you do matters, and "the value of trust" lies
within knowing the truth, searching for the truth, and telling
the truth.

As a daily reminder, a recent gift from a colleague on "how-to"
find "the value of trust" in almost every area of life is helpful.

Inspiring relationships are the consummate of all
relationships in that each member "get" each other
and "look out" for each other since each member
in these relationships usually have shared beliefs

Inspiring relationships are powerful in that each
member is able to "let go" of their "ego" for the

"Happiness is the result of the beliefs you choose.
Choose to celebrate change."
[Your Weekly StressTip]


What would your life be like if you had a personal mentor to guide

Certainly your life is worth investing in yourself.

Here are two mentors who have touched our lives this past month
and we are pleased to share them with you in this eleventh entry of
Meet the Best.

Introducing with appreciation and gratitude this month's "meet the
best" mentors James M. Kilts and Hal Brill et al.

James M. Kilts came into our lives recently when faced with the need
to reconnect with our business self.

Within the pages of Doing What Matters we found these thoughts...

•  "Growth matters.  Continuous dissatisfaction with the status quo
is the best way to keep growing."  (p.  293)

•  "Relationships matter.  Mentors can be the difference between your
having to struggle and learn entirely by trial and error versus profiting
the sage advise and past experiences of someone who is older and
wiser.  (pp.  293-294)

•  "The right team matters.  ...surround yourself with the best people."
(p.  295)

Hal Brill et al came into our lives when we were faced with financial
issues that needed attention.

Here are a few thoughts from their book Investing With Your Values

•  "Creating your own value-based portfolio begins with your general
approach to investing.  ...a portfolio may be...for a variety of social
issues without sacrificing return."  (p.  66)

•  "Choosing your strategies is one of the fun parts...  This important
step is the one in which you map out a game plan for bringing your
values into the financial world."  (p.  72)

•  There are "Four Spokes to the Investment Wheel."  (pp.  72-78)

Introducing with appreciation and gratitude this month's "meet the

Mentors.*

* Contact The Baum Group to find out who they are and how they are
able to impact your life.

Eckhart Tolle has been sharing his work with us for many years, and
recently when faced with the need to reconnect with our spiritual self.

Within the pages of Stillness Speaks one of his earlier books we found
these thoughts...

•  "Most people's lives are run by desire and fear."  (p.  58)

•  "Desire is the need to add something to yourself in order to be yourself
more fully.  All fear is the fear of losing something and thereby becoming
diminished and being less."  (p.  58)

•  "These two movements obscure the fact that Being cannot be given
or taken away.  Being in its fullness is already within you, Now."  (p.  59)

Dave Lakhani came into our lives when we were faced with business
and life issues that needed immediate attention.

Here are a few thoughts from his book The Power of an Hour

•  "This book is holistic; it addresses both personal and business issues
because there is no separation between the two."  (p.  xi)

•  "This book is a guidebook.  Open the book to the issue you want to
focus on and you'll find detailed information about the key areas you
should explore."  (p.  xii)

The Benefits of Journaling


"Staying present in the moment helps you be aware
  and accept your intuition, feelings and thoughts.
  With awareness and acceptance of your intuition,
  feelings and thoughts you are able to manage and
  overcome your stress reactions."
  [Your Weekly StressTip]

"Be larger than your task."
  [Simpleology Daily]


Among the benefits of journaling are...

1.  Journaling helps you stay on track as you focus on your goals

2.  Journaling helps you stop sabotaging yourself with ways to
handle your self-imposed barriers that stop you from achieving
your goals.

3.  Journaling is the single most important thing you can do to
identify your stressors and stress indicators in achieving your
goals.

Since you are the awareness of your thoughts and emotions,
journaling keeps you present -- in the moment -- by shifting
your focus from the emotion and thought to the awareness
of the emotion and thought.

This shift changes your energy level from being stagnant to
being dynamic.

"With the new day comes new strength and new

We are all in this life together as spiritual beings in physical bodies
having human experiences to learn life lessons.

So how do you live as a spiritual being in a physical world?
Here are a few exercises from a colleague...

"...repeating these four words many times during the day
- I am a Soul - gently guides you inwards towards your soul,
and away from the frantic, busy outside world."
(Source : John Holland's Soul Inspirations Newsletter, July 07, 2008)

"...When you want to experience the feeling of being with
your soul, or when you feel you need to slow the pace down
when life gets overwhelming and chaotic, simply close your
eyes, cross your hands over your heart, breathe deeply and
say to yourself "Find my center."  By doing so, you'll open the
connection with your soul, where you'll discover that you're
able to let go and gently relax into the present."
(Source : John Holland's Soul Inspirations Newsletter, July 14, 2008)

The benefits of these exercises to your health have been realized
by many and confirmed by the medical community.

I am consciously speaking, doing and acting, creating inner space
and stillness, of which there is no lacking."

Appreciation and leadership in action is what matters.

than saying -- you appreciate something.

Awareness and Mindfulness : Being Present in The Moment - 2

"Be remembered as being remarkable by focusing on your strengths."
  [Your Weekly StressTip]

"Know the true value of time; snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment
  of it.  Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today."
  [Simpleology Daily]


Once again, guided by Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth here are two thoughts
on the benefits of awareness, mindfulness and being in the present moment.

To be fully aware and mindful by being present in the moment without
thought...

*   is being attentive, observant, vigilant, and watchful.

*   relieves emotional and physical pain and tension.

Since all you have is this moment, the only thing you can be for sure is be
present.  The more present you are -- the more your experience is.

Being Present in The Moment

"Choices and decisions made proactively by being present
  in the moment are more aligned with your life's purpose."
  [Your Weekly StressTip]

"Look well into thyself; there is a source of strength which
  will always spring up if thou wilt always look there."
  [Simpleology Daily]


Guided by Eckhart Tolle's A New Earth : Awakening to Your Life's Purpose
here are a few ways to bring yourself to the present moment.

To be fully present in the moment take yourself out of your mind by...

*  becoming aware of your breath.

*  bringing your attention back to your breath when you begin noticing
   that you are in your head -- thinking.

*  bringing your attention to the rest of your body.

*  bringing your attention to your feet.

Bottom line : to be fully present in the moment you must give yourself
permission -- and time -- to make a shift in your consciousness from
your head to your whole body.

"Being present in the moment makes your heart sing."
  [Your Weekly StressTip]

"Show your gratitude."
  [Dr. Rae, Founder of Your Stress Matters]


What would your life be like if you had a personal mentor to guide
you on a daily, weekly and monthly basis -- on information products
of your choosing?

Certainly your life is worth investing in yourself.

Here is a mentor who has profoundly touched our lives this past
month and we are pleased to share him with you in this seventh
entry of Meet the Best.

Introducing with appreciation and gratitude this month's "meet the
best" mentor Dan Ariely

Dan Ariely recently came into our lives when we were being faced
with emotional issues that created predictably irrational behavior.

While waiting for Dan's book Predictably Irrational to arrive we have
been listening to the Predictably Irrational (unabridged audio book).

Here are a few thoughts on expectations, ownership and stereotyping
from Disk 4 and 5 of the Predictably Irrational (unabridged audio book) :

•  Behavior can be influences by our stereotypes and how
    we view ourselves at the moment.  (Disk 5)

•  Can a price be placed on memories?  (Disk 4)

•  Expectations shape stereotypes and stereotypes provide
    us with expectations.  (Disk 5)

•  Loses cause us to make bad choices and decisions.
    (Disk 4)

•  Ownership -- what we get and what we give up -- pervades
    our lives  (Disk 4)

•  The more work you put into something the more ownership
    you begin to feel for it.  (Disk 4)

Stress Awareness - 3


"If you hear a voice within you say "you cannot paint," then
  by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced."
  [Simpleology Daily]

"Stay in the now, plan for the future and take purpose full
  and meaning full action." [Your Weekly StressTip]


As we come to the end of Stress Awareness Month, here is a
reminder for you to revisit your emotional, physical and spiritual
health.

When you ignore your stress reactions -- and we all have them --
they have an impact your health.

Awareness, acknowledgment and acceptance of your stress
and your stress reactions get you from where you are to where
you want to be.

You know that, don't you?

Then what is stopping you from dealing with your stress and your
stress reactions?

Your stress and your stress reactions are your body signals that
must be dealt with right away.

Being mindful -- aware, acknowledge and accept -- of your stress
and your stress reactions, without blaming others, helps you...

...let go of your preconceived ideas of what it takes
to be emotionally, physically and spiritually healthy.

...live with and enjoy your emotional, physical and
spiritual health.

...locate your stressors (causes) and stress indicators
(body signals) to make alternate life choices.

...make your heart sing.

"April is Stress Awareness Month."
   [The Baum Group]

"Within you each and every moment is the art of living
  and the miracle of life."
   [Your Weekly StressTip]


Did you know that...

You overcome and manage your stress reactions as soon as you
stop your thinking and stay in the present moment?

Stepping out of your stream of thinking by breathing and paying
full attention to your surroundings brings you back to the present
moment?

Worrying takes your attention away from you in the present moment?

Worrying takes away your power?

in the present moment.

Bioenergetic Analysis : Energy Matters


"Only you are responsible for your life.  Being mindful
of your reactions to your life you are able to choose at
each moment what is best for you and your life."
[Dr. Rae for The Baum Group]


Did you know there is energy in your muscles that matters
and needs expression?

Did you know you are able to live with much less stress
and worry when you stay in the moment?

Did you know your emotions direct your behavior?

Since 1972, as a Bioenergetic Analysis practitioner I have
found energy matters.

I have also seen how energy matters.

When energy is blocked and locked in your muscles you
experience muscle tension, aches and pains.  You also
experience blocked and locked emotions causing a lack
of emotional connection with your self and with others.

In a variety of ways, Bioenergetic Analysis helps you get
in touch and comfortable with your emotions by releasing
the tension in your muscles.

"Be innovative and willing to change."
   The Baum Group


What would your life be like if you had a personal coach to guide
you on a daily, weekly and monthly basis on information products
of your choosing?

Certainly your life is worth investing in yourself.

Here are two coaches who have touched our lives deeply in the past
two months and we are pleased to share them with you in this fifth
entry of Meet the Best.

Introducing with appreciation and gratitude this month's "meet the
best" coaches...
Michael Masterson
and
Andrew Newberg

Michael Masterson has been sharing his work with us for several
years, and was first introduced on this Blog in October 2007.

Here are a few thoughts from his book
Ready, Fire, Aim

•  "One of the keys to making a company successful is hiring
the best employees you can, the ones who are tenacious and
self-motivated, and letting them set the direction of your
business, allowing them to excel and adapt to change instead
of forcing them toward arbitrary goals.  ...Since I made up my
mind to surround myself with superstars and stop working
hard, my income has been consistently in the top one-tenth of
1 percent in the United States.  I don't need an active income
anymore,...these superstars just keep handing me checks." [p. 9]

Andrew Newberg recently came into our personal and professional
lives to take us to our next level of understanding..

From his well-documented book Why We Believe What We Believe
we found...

•  "How do we find happiness and peace?  The first step is to learn
that we do not need to grasp the absolute truth in order to survive.
We can appreciate the mysteries of the universe and the mysteries
of the brain; and we can learn to trust our intuition, to have faith
in our biological and even spiritual drives."

Relationships Revisited


"Keep all of your relationships remarkable
and spectacular. "  The Baum Group


At times, relationships can be difficult and trying.

Building and maintaining every business and personal
relationship takes awareness, commitment ­ and lots
of work.

For one thing, taking responsibility for your actions in any
relationship requires you to take ownership of how you
react to any situation in your relationship.

Never give your power to anyone else; and never ever give
up

coaches...
Deepak Chopra
and
Brian L. Weiss

Deepak Chopra has been sharing his work with us for many years.

Here are a few thoughts from his book
Life After Death : A Burden of Proof

•  "The standard assumption is that no one really knows what
happens after we die.  ...Instead of being unknowable, perhaps
the afterlife is something we haven't looked at hard enough.
And, if so why not?" [p. 97]

•  "In Life After Death Chopra draws on cutting-edge scientific
discoveries and the great wisdom traditions to provide a map
of the afterlife.  ...Who you meet in the afterlife and what you
experience there reflect your present beliefs, expectations
and level of awareness.  In the here and now you can shape
what happens after you die.  ...Chopra invites us to step into
a numinous sense of wonder and personal power." [Book
Description]

Brian L. Weiss recently came into our lives when we needed
guidance to take us to the next level in our lives.

•  From his enlightening and life affirming book
Messages from the Masters : Tapping into the Power of Love
we found (by reading with an open mind) solace in the following
messages from the masters

•  "...we come back to teach and help others." [p. 1]

•  "...Our body is just a vehicle for us while we are here.  It is
our soul and our spirit that last forever." [p. 11]

•  "We choose when we...come back into our physical state
and when we...leave.  We know when we have accomplished
what we were sent down here to accomplish.  ...When you have
had the time to rest and re-energize your soul, you...choose
your re-entry back into the physical state." [p.44]
