New Year’s Resolution Blog

Yesterday we took a look at a blog that has found a successful and sustainable alternative to traditional New Year’s Resolutions. Today we look at a blog that takes a more communal approach to those traditional resolutions at the New Year’s Resolution Blog.

New Year’s Resolution Blog - Why You Should Go

The New Year’s Resolution Blog was started by an admitted resolution breaker (but who isn’t?), Tracy. Understanding what it is that makes resolutions so hard to keep, Tracy decided to start up a site and a blog dedicated to helping herself and her community succeed in their resolve to improve—together, with support, the way the most successful resolutions are said to succeed.

To this end, Tracy has built in many posts and tools to help you from start to finish. There are posts to help you decide on a resolution, jumpstart your resolution, and others for “after the fact” to help you track and follow your resolution through. As an added bonus, you can go public by posting your resolution and adding that extra level of accountability. Tracy has also built up a team of six other writers to help her, and you, along the way, with articles and posts to inspire and motivate, as well as stories of their own success.

Summing Up New Year’s Resolution Blog

Last year this blog saw a break in the action, but came back bigger and better, with a new design, features, and determination to build a successful community of resolution-makers. Tracy and her crew have a great thing going here, and your continued participation can only help to keep it moving. Check out the New Year’s Resolution Blog and ready yourself for an even more successful year ahead!

Creative Juices Arts & Painting From The Wild Heart

Chris Zydel’s Creative Juices Arts & Painting From The Wild Heart blog is an extension of the life and profession she has dedicated herself to. Summarized, this might be described as the facilitation of free-expression and creativity. This is the work that she does through her creative arts studio in Oakland, California (USA), which she continues through her website, and now her blog.

Creative Juices Arts - Why You Should Go

“We are all naturally creative, and we all have something inside of us that is authentically ours, wanting to be expressed.

Whether this “something” is written, sung, painted, spoken, danced, or manifested through cooking, growing a business, raising a child, designing a home, building a guitar, or bringing an idea into the world, our creativity is one of the most unique and precious aspects of who we are.”

This is the foundation upon which Chris Zydel has built her work and her blog. Chris realizes not only that are we all creative beings, but also that too many of us are stifling that creativity and suffering for it. To correct the problem, Chris works as a counselor, instructor, and facilitator, working through art, offering classes, workshops, and retreats (including 3-day weekend intensives for non-residents). Chris’s blog is an extension of this work. It is a place to capture many of the benefits of an in-person experience, to learn from Chris, and to extend that learning if you are lucky enough to be one of Chris’s students.

Summing Up Creative Juices Arts

Whether or not you are lucky enough to ever experience one of Chris Zydel’s classes or workshops, there is plenty that you will find of benefit at her blog. Chris’s blog serves as a renewal and awakening of your creative spirit, poised to help you break down the barriers that prohibit you from fully experiencing the benefit of maximizing your creative soul.

The Prosperity Blog

Kimmy B. is a blogger dedicated to helping others achieve happiness and prosperity. Her Prosperity Blog is a fresh voice in the motivation and life balance arena, offering great promise of even more great things to come.

The Prosperity Blog - Why You Should Go

Kimmy B’s blog is a lot like many other great motivational blogs, and a lot unlike, them, too. She takes a very holistic approach to prosperity, understanding it to be not simply financial or spiritual, but all-encompassing.

“The prosperity blog is about helping you living a holistically prosperous lifestyle. Prosperity is not only about wealth; it’s also about the affects of wealth and what you do with it. A prosperous lifestyle includes financial security but it also includes good health, the ability to spend quality time with your loved ones and so much more. I blog about holistic prosperity because all areas of prosperity affect one another. For example, if your health is not good, this may affect your ability to work and create financial prosperity. Balancing your life and living prosperously takes practice but it is possible.”

One of the most endearing qualities of Kimmy and her blog is her forthrightness. She is very open with her readers, not shying from baring her own soul and experiences to really prove that obstacles can be overcome. This she couples with a number of excellent resources and initiatives, including her own LiteracyRich project for women.

Summing Up The Prosperity Blog

Kimmy’s blog is young, but promising. She offers much reliable information, served with enough personality and openness to make this a very welcoming blog community in its own right. Join in now and don’t miss a beat of the many great things to come at Kimmy’s blog.

Self Improvement Journal

Surely you’ve guessed that this blog, too, is one dedicated to self improvement. Chris’s blog is a bit different, though, being dedicated to self improvement but in a much more ground-up, growth-oriented fashion.

Self Improvement Journal - Why You Should Go

A lot of the success and improvement blogs that we feature here have at their heart the universal laws like The Secret Law of Attraction or the principles of wealth and success. This blog, too, includes posts of that nature, but it is also more rounded to include other topics like health, diet and exercise, community, and environment.

One of the most enticing things about Self Improvement Journal, though, is its development. This blog started off in true web log style, as a personal journal to share with others as Chris worked through the many aspects of self- and life-improvement. Watching that growth and the development of the blog lends a very personal and grounded feel to the blog, making it one that relates well with its “normal people” audience.

Summing Up Self Improvement Journal

Because Chris has been so open from the beginning with this journey of self improvement, the blog has morphed and grown in many ways. It is now largely a blog about wealth and success, but it has never lost its personal roots, or its very well-rounded nature.

Self Improve Blog

We’re combining efforts this weekend to celebrate the release of Sean Rasmussen’s latest eBook, The Secret Law of Attraction. In celebration of its release Do You Digg It is featuring established and promising empowerment blogs, while continuing our efforts to expand our international blog rolls.

Today our combined efforts take us to the review of our first Belgian-based blog, the Self Improve Blog of Brussels blogger Richard Onebamoi (a blog migrated and combined from his original, Success Power Points). Richard’s mission through his collection of blogs is to “inspire your performance, expand your imagination, cultivate your dreams, help you discover, develop and maximize your God given potential.”

Self Improve Blog - Why You Should Go

Pastor Richard Onebamoi combines several aspects of self and faith in his works as a success facilitator. He brings a deep spirituality and faith, and marries them to leading philosophies and universal laws of success from both historical and modern perspectives. Inspiration for posts comes from people like Napoleon Hill, Wallace Wattles, and the much recognized Anthony Robbins, as well as Richard’s own studies and experiences. These are balanced with practical articles and “how-to’s” for life and success.

Summing Up Self Improve Blog

Pastor Onebamoi’s Self Improve Blog is just one of the vehicles he uses to achieve his mission, but it is one of his collective works that has the widest appeal as a blog dedicated to self improvement, where it all starts.

Work Happy Now!

There are many sites and many experts whose intended goal is to show you how to perfect a whole-life overhaul for more happiness and more success. But that is not what Karl Staib’s Work Happy Now! blog is about. You see, Karl doesn’t believe that you have to completely overhaul your life in order to be happy or to enjoy success. After extensive research Karl has come to the conclusion that you can change your state of being and enjoy that success in your current field and position—you just have to know how to maximize your resources and experiences.

Work Happy Now! - Why You Should Go

Maximize your resources and experiences. Sound simple, doesn’t it? At it’s heart it likely is, but as humans we know that it takes more for us to adapt and change than a good, simple idea. Still, it helps to know that life improvement is possible, particularly when the target area—your job or career—consumes so much of it. And so “The Work Happy Guy” Staib has developed his blog—and an entire consulting business—around helping people find joy and fulfillment in what they are already doing. He sums up the intent of his blog quite well, saying “Maximizing your work happiness should be the theme of your working life. Happiness creates success. When you stop putting in the hours and start extracting joy from work, you’ll be successful.”

Summing Up Work Happy Now!

Very basically Karl Staib’s blog speaks to the question, “”I want more happiness. How do I get it?” It’s a simple concept but an effective and important topic, and Karl Staib confronts it head-on, detailing the small and large changes in work and perception that you can make to live happily and elicit success no matter what you do.

TRCoach is the work of Tom Spanton, a Transition Coach dedicated to helping you get “From where you are, to where you want to be.” His blog is a compilation of information and personal development resources offered with the purpose of helping you move beyond the “one decision” to change, and find the path to that change and end goal.

TRCoach - Why You Should Go

TRCoach Tom Spanton offers posts of insight into personal development, as well as motivational posts and quotes to keep you moving on to where you know you should be. He does not prescribe to tell you what you need to change in life, just to help you stay focused and motivated to get there—to get you through the transitional point from point A (the decision) to point B (arrival at your goal—whatever in life that may be).

Tom’s blog borrows from some of the best minds in personal development and self empowerment; those minds hail from both the modern day and the classic icons of the field, and include people like Jack Canfield and Napoleon Hill. He goes far beyond just spiritual and psychological topics and explores deeply the connection between the physical body and mind, and how the two connect to form the person that you are and can be.

Summing Up TRCoach

Thrifty Mommy

What could you do if you could free up some of your hard-earned cash? Invest? Plan for a bigger and better financial future? Do more of what you want while living contently with less? Travel? Pursue a higher education?

Of course there are innumerable things that we could do with more money. We could pay down debt or just live with less financial stress. The possibilities are truly endless. But in an economy such as that which many of us are living in, coming by a higher income is pretty tough these days. So the possibility of increasing the quality of life can look bleak.

Now enter Thrifty Mommy. Here is a blog, written and edited by two frugal gals, Kelly Saunders and Karen W, whose purpose is to help you live better without breaking the bank. Because as many of already know, there is a lot of waste and clutter going on, and the good deals are out there for those who know how to find them.

Thrifty Mommy - Why You Should Go

The problem is many of us don’t know where to find them. And we lack the patience to even look. For the best thrifty livers this kind of budgetary boost is a whole lifestyle; and it’s not all about saving money, it’s also about living better with less financial stress, and less ’stuff’ cluttering up our lives. And of course it’s also about buying better and spending less.

Both Kelly and Karen will readily admit to this—the one enjoys her thrifty living because it gives her a thrill to beat the big-guys at their own economic game; the other thrives on being thrifty to support her most favored habits like eating out. Whatever their personal motivation is, these two thrifty Moms offer up lots of great ideas for getting the quality (and just the right amount of quantity) in your life that you want, while saving money for bigger and better things (at a discount, of course). They make the pain that many of us associate with frugality a pleasure and a challenge to embrace, paving the way for more.

Summing Up Thrifty Mommy

As you can see there many motivations that compel people to a thrifty lifestyle. Some come out of necessity and some come out of pure defiance for high prices and over-costed living. Here are two girls that can help in any case. Visit Thrifty Mommy and find out how to finance your lifestyle and fun!

Category: Positivity, Motivation

Positive Communication

Positive Communication‚Äîsounds like something the world needs more of, doesn’t it? Without argument we all get enough of the negativity that’s out there, and after a time it begins to infect one of our most cherished and basic abilities‚Äîcommunication.

Similar to Proof Positivity, Positive Communication is a blog that highlights the best of the world’s news and actions. As the author, Ellen Janssens, describes it, “This blog is a Tribute to the Positive News. To Positive Action, People and Possibilities that Make a Difference. To social campaigns that use Positive Communication, focusing on what people can do.”

Positive Communication - Why You Should Go

The news highlights that Ellen offers are uplifting, but the author goes much further than the news feeds. Each post is accompanied by a thoughtful summary and discussion.

But not all posts here are news links; far from it. There are also posts of inspiration quoting and discussing many of the greatest and most inspiring authors, poets, and musicians. In addition, the blog is filled with inspirational quotes and snippets to keep you going in the positive way.

Summing Up Positive Communication

Ellen Janssens has identified a true need of the world’s societies‚Äîto remember our wealth as people and as a larger society, and to value all that is good in life‚Äîand support it. Her blog is one to stop through for daily inspiration, a place to relax and appreciate each and every day, if only for a few minutes. Go here when you are in need of some positive vibes (and as Ellen says‚Äî”well, who doesn’t??)
