Social Skills Training Can Positively Impact Your Life
Millions of people become anxious and insecure when speaking in public, starting a conversation, or mingling with others in a social setting. There are a large number of individuals who are extremely successful in their professional lives, but tend to shy away from meeting new people, attending social functions, and interpersonal communication. Social skills training can help you overcome obstacles and develop positive habits and social abilities... 1. Those wanting to improve their ability to communicate and their level of confidence through social skills training are increasing in number. Developing and expanding your social skills is perhaps the most important thing you can do for yourself, both professionally and personally. Speaking effectively, holding up your end of any conversation, establishing new relationships, and building confidence are just some of the personality traits that can be built upon through better social skills. 2. Improving your Social skills will allow you to understand the impact a lack of social skills can have on your life, determine the personality traits that cause you to feel uncomfortable in social settings, and give you the tools you need in to become confident and comfortable in any situation. You can learn to resolve conflicts, the art of negotiation, and how to easily carry on a conversation either individually or in a group. If you find yourself avoiding large social gatherings or you are reluctant to meet new people, social skills training can be very beneficial to both your private and professional lives. 3. Learning new social skills involves learning to communicate effectively, adapting to various social and professional situations, interpreting the body language of others and improving your own body language, and learning to handle adversity and rejection in a positive manner. Failure to develop adequate social skills can lead to negative feelings, self-doubt, and low self-esteem. If you are among the many who would like to improve your ability to communicate with others in a positive manner, social skills training can provide you with valuable information and teach you techniques that will allow you to excel in social settings and in your professional life. 4. Flexibility, understanding, and the ability to communicate effectively are the most important factors in improving your social skills. Developing better social skills can help you conquer your fears of social situations, teach you the correct ways to communicate with others, and help you understand how to resolve conflict and overcome adversity. A lack of or underdeveloped social skills can lead to isolation, loneliness, and frustration. Do not be afraid to take the first step in improving your life and relationships with others. You can learn to speak in front of large groups without feeling anxious, start new or improve your existing relationships with family and co-workers, and exhibit a positive, confident attitude. Improving your social skills requires dedication and the desire to change your own negative behaviors. You can dramatically increase your ability to communicate and influence others if you learn to change your own negative behaviors and build upon the positive. Understanding, good communication, interpreting body language, and conflict resolution skills can advance your career and personal life to levels you never thought possible. Social skills training can be done in groups or individually depending on your needs and the method you choose to assist you in improving upon your skills. Peter Murphy is a peak performance expert.

Tiger and the Three Pigs After years of terrorizing the countryside, hunting deer, poaching livestock, killing game, Tiger grew long in the tooth. Finally, he knew it was time to retire. So he packed his bag and ambled into town to the Three Little Pigs Retirement Home Inc. He rang the bell, and the first little pig appeared on the landing above. "What do you want?" asked the little pig. Be Grateful for Gratitude In Twelve Step meetings, it's traditional to groan when someone says, "Let's have a gratitude meeting." People don't like to talk or think about what they're grateful for. It's not in our nature. We're more tuned to what's going wrong than what's going right. We can't help it. The cave men who sat around and admired how white the teeth on the saber toothed tiger were, didn't last long enough to reproduce. The ones who realized those teeth were a bad thing are our ancestors, so to speak. The Path of Appreciation Without appreciation, any success you have will be in vain and worthless. Yes, you would have accomplished your goals but it would be an empty win. The Law of Attraction in Action Would you like to be able to experience more of what brings you joy in your life? Do you have unmet wants and desires that have left you feeling unfulfilled in some areas of your life? Were you taught that it is our desires that make us unhappy? Whoever taught us that desire is a bad thing was an unempowered person! How to Make Self-Improvement Work Every Time! There is an inherent problem with the approach most people take to self-improvement of any kind. There is a presupposition that there is something wrong that needs fixing. Perhaps it is true that there are areas in their lives that they wish to change. However, the mindset with which they approach transformation will very often NEGATE any positive results they might have. Why? Because all of their focus is on the PROBLEM they are trying to solve, rather than their vision for what their life will be like on without the alleged problem. Faith Creates Ideas That Create Wealth For years it seems as though the secrets to obtaining wealth were only for a selected few. Yet the truth of the matter is that these "few" have chosen to apply the principles of prosperity (at least most of the principles) in order to obtain their status, while many chose to ignore them. To Be A Cut Above The Rest! Mannerisms and personality traits go a long way in making impressions on other people. Some people unknowingly have mannerisms, which humor others. Some people have mannerisms, which obviously show that they are tense - wiping their face with a handkerchief or nervously twiddling their thumbs or even a lot of stammering when they talk. Break the Cycle The other day I was walking out of a store and a guy who appeared to be homeless stepped up to me and asked if I could spare some change. I gave him a few dollars and struck up a conversation with him. I thought I would share some positive information with him and do you know what? He got offensive and told me to leave him alone. He said he LIKED his life just the way it was and walked away from me-angry. (He did take the money though.) I thought that was a bit strange-not that he took the money but, how could he like a life where whether or not he ate depended on whether or not someone else gave him a few dollars. But, hey, as my mother use to say, "to each his own". Personally, I don't believe he likes his life. I do believe that HE believes that there is nothing he could do about it and he has lived that way for so long that he simply has adapted to the life style and sees it as normal. All of his friends are probably in the same situation that he is in and they too have adapted and accepted it as a way of life. Ego, Arrogance, and Self-Esteem The pursuit of pleasure and the avoidance of pain are not our only motivators. Whether you realize it or not, our underlying purpose in life is to define and pursue our true purpose in life. Regardless of what we feel or do, we are all simply searching for some type of meaning within our own individual existence that can somehow take us further. However, many problems we face in our lives arise from the lack of true life meaning. What Do You Want This Year? Christmas is all around us, and many people are making up wish lists.

Law of Attraction and Dreams, Premonitions or Predictions Recently, I received an interesting email in which a woman told me that when she was 10 years old, she was shown in a dream how one day she would have a son and he would die at a certain age in a specific fashion.
