Manifest Your Dreams – Attend The Vision Board Mastery Workshop
“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” — Mark Twain
The Vision Board Mastery Workshop is going to be held once again in Singapore next month.
There are many great benefits to attending a physical workshop for the making of a vision board:

“A girl should be two things: classy and fabulous.”
“Fashion fades but only style remains the same.”
– Coco Chanel
The fear of aging can strike at any age but 40, in particular, is seen as the year that inflicts a great majority of people, particularly women, with a sense of trepidation. Following my article on the Fear of Aging, I decided to invite the public or rather fans and friends on Facebook for tips on how to look young.

How to Get Over the Fear of Aging
“I believe in manicures. I believe in overdressing. I believe in primping at leisure and wearing lipstick. I believe in pink. I believe happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day, and… I believe in miracles.” – Audrey Hepburn
We live in a society that values looks and youth. And so as we mature past our 30s, then 40s and 50s, we can start to face the fear of aging. I believe that females feel the fear even more. The fear of aging can be like a looming dark cloud that drives us to irrational behavior such as undergoing multiple plastic surgery jobs to tighten sagging skin.

How to Overcome the Fear of Money
“There is only one class in the community that thinks more about money than the rich, and that is the poor.” – Oscar Wilde
You would think that most people would love to have lots of money. However, there are also those who fear money or having too much of it. Maybe it is the reminder about King Midas that puts these people in fear. His wish that everything he touched be turned to gold was fulfilled. However, he later found, to his dismay, that even his delicious food and beloved daughter were transformed into gold.

How to be Zen – Part B
“A calm mind is not disturbed by the waves of thoughts.” – Remez Sasson
How to be Zen – Part A
“What is this true meditation? It is to make everything: coughing, swallowing, waving the arms, motion, stillness, words, action, the evil and the good, prosperity and shame, gain and loss, right and wrong, into one single koan.”- Hakuin
How to Overcome the Fear of Failure
Does the fear of failure stop you from venturing forth?
The fear of failure often strikes with terror. A shiver goes down your spine. You break out in profuse sweat. Your imagination goes on the overdrive. Whether the trial you are undergoing is a big or small one, you feel faint from the thought of being seen as a failure in life.
The fear of failure may not all that negative. For instance, it can spur you to overcome your barriers and conquer new heights. I believe it was how I have studied and passed my examinations relatively well while in school. However, in the recent years, I realised that being motivated by fear may not exactly be the best way to go about living. I have also found that my children do not respond too well when fear is being used to get them to study or to instil some of discipline. With awareness, I intend to be mindful about not using fear on them.
How to Meditate Easily
“The affairs of the world will go on forever. Do not delay the practice of meditation.” Milarepa
I hear it all the time from friends and clients who complain that they are not able to meditate. Stressed out, they were hoping to attain some level of peace and calm through meditation. Unfortunately, they had found relaxing and keeping focus an almost impossible task.
Their complaints reminded me of the time when I first started meditation 12-13 years ago. With a mind that is in constant chatter, I could barely keep still. I gave up within five minutes of my first try. Luckily, over the years, I have been able to achieve better meditation experiences.

How to Overcome the Fear of Rejection
Is the fear of rejection stopping you from being free to pursue what you want?
Well, it is one fear that strikes many of us. The perception of having been rejected can cut like a stab in the heart. In an instant, you can feel as if you are drained of all blood. Dizziness ensues and you hang on to dear life, gasping for air.
“There is going to be a hundred thousand doors slammed in your face before one opens, so feel ok about taking rejection.” – Heather Matarazzo
I don’t know of anyone who has the privilege of going through life without ever experiencing the fear of rejection at least once. I have certainly been rejected many times. In a few of the situations, back when I was in my early 20s, I had thought that I would not be able to survive past the rejection. With despair, I would drown my sorrow via drinking and clubbing several times a week. Fortunately, these days, I have found better ways to deal with the fear of rejection.

7 Tips for Living a More Relaxed Life
“The only reason for time is so that everything doesn’t happen at once.” – Albert Einstein.
Today’s guest post is submitted by Ryan Rivera.
Often in life it feels as though everything is being thrown at you at once. We deal with stress on a regular basis, but that stress would often be much easier to manage if we had 100 hours in the day, and still only needed 8 hours of sleep. We’d have an opportunity to slow life down, relax, and go on with our lives.
