How to Break Through The Fear and Do What You Love
“Do what you love” is a common piece of advice given to people when they’re unsure of what they want to do in life. But how is it possible? It’s easy to get bogged down into thinking that you’re just not talented enough, or don’t have the right degree, or that your goals are too lofty.
In Amanda Nachman’s book, #Qualified she shows you how to break through the stress, fear and uncertainty of the job search and land your dream job.
Amanda recently appeared on Good Morning America where she shared her top tips on how to get hired. Here are the highlights:
Make courageous connections. Identify someone you admire who is in your dream job and reach out. This will help you learn the steps you need to take to follow in their footsteps.
Ask questions. During an interview, make sure to ask the interviewer what they love most about their role. It gives them a chance to tell their story, and share what they love about working at the company.
A DM a day. Instead of looking on job boards, send a DM a day and reach out to people. Around 85% of jobs are made through networking, so the better your network, the higher your chance of landing your dream job.

Would You Like to Be Naturally Sexy… Forever?
NEWSFLASH: You don’t have to ditch the bikini when you turn 40 – this can be the beginning of your sexy years! And it’s never too late to start.
In the award-winning book 10 Years Younger in 10 Weeks, which has gained cult status in Scandinavia, its author Thorbjörg, details a 10-week anti-age program with delicious recipes, invigorating exercises, and nutritional supplement recommendations.

A Step-by-Step Guide to a More Profound and Meaningful Life
Nicolai was heading down a path that almost always ended in one of two ways: prison or an early death.
In Gangsters ‘n Gurus Nicolai Engelbrecht tells the story of the life-changing night where he lost his eyesight in a drug-motivated chemical attack. It only was after losing his vision that Nicolai was able to clearly see what the future held if he did not make a dramatic shift in his life. After weeks of anguish and a miraculous recovery, Nicolai embarked on an authentic journey of self-discovery.
His travels took him to remote parts of the world―from India, to White Horse Mountain in China, to Bali, and beyond―to learn the secrets of renowned spiritual teachers like Guru Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and Master Li Sifu.

Successful Social and Emotional Learning in the Modern Music Classroom
Teachers are forever telling their students to “pay attention” and “focus.” But are they teaching them how to pay attention and focus?
In Lesley Moffat’s book, Love The Job, Lose The Stress, she reveals the secret to getting students engaged, focused, and curious so you can teach them all the cool stuff about music is teaching them how to actually build those skills until they become habits.
The book is packed with practical advice, including Lesley’s top 3 tips for being a badass band director:
Boundaries are essential. By setting healthy boundaries, we teach other people that we value our own time and they begin to value it more, too. Boundaries give students parameters within which they can learn to function with much more success than when there’s a lack of structure.
Parents and other adults can be the most powerful assets in helping run a program. Don’t try and do everything alone. It’s much easier and more fun when you have a group of parents and kids working together toward common goals.
Work Is Love in Action. When you’re doing jobs that make you want to poke your eyes out with a pitchfork, remind yourself of its importance. This reframing of the purpose of the task helps it go from being another chore to becoming a way to serve the kiddos I love so much.

How to Manage Jaw Pain so You Can Eat Normally
Does painful jaw clicking and popping make it difficult for you to eat normally?
When you have chronic clicking, popping, or pain in your jaw, it can make everything that much more difficult. And it’s not just eating – severe pain in your jaw can also affect your sleep, ability to talk, and overall ability to function.
In TMJ is Ruining My Life, author and pharmacist Chelsea Liebowitz helps suffers of TMJ to manage jaw pain and prevent flare-ups
According to Chelsea, the most common causes of jaw pain are:
10 Steps to a Spiritually Enlightened Life After Divorce
Are you struggling to get over your divorce? Does it feel as if your emotions are running wild and they’re impacting your professional and personal lives? Are you nervous about dating again? Most people have tried to move on but nothing seems to work.
In breakup to breakthrough, Psychologist, Divorce Coach, and Grief Expert, Lana Gajic applies scientific principles to help people mend their broken hearts and develop more satisfying, soulful lives.
Included in the book are biohacking techniques that help you deal with stress when it arises. Here are three stress-busting biohacking tips:
Self hug. Give yourself a hug by putting your right hand under your left armpit and your left hand on top of your right arm. This technique is meant to help you calm your nervous system down and it does not require the presence of someone else to give you a hug
Focus on Your Breath. Take a slow, deep breath in and an even slower and deeper breath out. Do this for ten to fifteen breaths. Research shows that when you take six or more seconds to exhale, you will get a reduction in stress because it activates your parasympathetic or relaxation response.
Exhale Loudly. Take a deep breath in and exhale like you would in a yoga class. Say a long haaaaaa, like you would when saying the beginning of the word happy. Repeat the breathing exercise ten to fifteen times. If you feel very upset, feel free to do it longer until your body naturally relaxes and your shoulder drop.
“I am so appreciative that Liebowitz wrote this book. As a TMJ sufferer myself I was able to relate to the experiences in her book. There aren’t a lot of resources available that allows a patient to take feel empowered; this is definitely one!.” – TMJ Is Ruining My Life Review

ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Build Your Own Freedom by Starting Your Own Business
Do you have the spark inside to create something of your own? If you want to follow that spark, there’s a way to transform your mindset to become a successful entrepreneur. Even if you’re starting from zero.
In the book, Start From Zero, Dane Maxwell helps you build the brain of an entrepreneur. In fact, according to Dane, there are four ‘entrepreneur brains’. Very few entrepreneurs possess all four of these brains. In fact, most entrepreneurs get by with just two or three. But if you combine all four, your bank account will look very, very good.
Do you possess one or more of these?
Brain One: The Surveyor – Here you see the world in income streams and survey landscapes. Once you understand this, you’ll see income streams everywhere.
Brain Two: The Tiller – Here you find and sell ideas by tilling the landscape you surveyed. This is a very profitable skill when done correctly.
Brain Three: The Planter – Here you create and plant scalable product seeds from scratch. The planter is thorough and masterful.
Brain Four: The Gardener – Here you garden and grow the product revenues. Many activities are a waste of time; only a few are needed to grow revenue.
More than 60 million Americans–that’s about one in four–are affected by mental health issues every year. Rather than determine what might actually be causing that depression, many doctors immediately reach for their prescription pads.
Dr. Achina Stein’s new book, What If It’s Not Depression?: Your Guide to Answers and Solutions is a lifeline to patients that want to understand the underlying causes of depression. Dr. Stein takes a different approach to depression by trying to understand what creates it and believes the key to this new paradigm is depression is not in our head.
One key to fixing the root cause is to improve your sleep hygiene. Here are Dr Stein’s top 5 sleep tips:
Avoid caffeine, alcohol, nicotine, and other chemicals that interfere with sleep.
Go to bed at the same time every night and wake up at the same time every morning. It’s the wake-up time that sets your biological clock.
Ease the transition from wake time to sleep time with a period of relaxing activities an hour or so before bed. Take a bath (the rise then fall in body temperature promotes drowsiness), read a book, watch television, or practice relaxation exercises. Avoid stressful, stimulating activities like doing work or discussing emotional issues.
Turn your bedroom into a sleep-inducing environment – dark cool place, use earplugs or white noise, and sleep on a comfortable mattress. Remove the TV from the room. Use your bed just for sleep and sex.
Drink enough fluid at night to keep from waking up thirsty –but not so much and so close to bedtime that you will be awakened by the need for a trip to the bathroom.

The 11-Step Formula To Make Money And Get Financial Clarity In Your Business
The term “entrepreneur” continues to gain attention as an exciting and financially rewarding career choice. However, there is a significant risk associated with leaving a comfortable position with a guaranteed salary, benefits, and pension.
But the risk of failure as an entrepreneur can be all but eliminated if you ensure that the financial foundation of your business is planned for, expectations are outlined, and the financial results are consistently monitored.
In Robert Gauvreau’s book, The Wealthy Entrepreneur, he explains that there’s an 11-step framework that if implemented, will provide you with financial clarity and extraordinary results in your business.
All entrepreneurial endeavors must start with the end in mind. So the first step to generating extraordinary results is being very clear on the outcomes that you desire as an entrepreneur. It’s important to answer the following questions:
A New Way For Women To Navigate The Menopause Years With Grace And Confidence
An empowering new approach has emerged which is helping women to master, not medicate their hormones as they shift from a time of being a caregiver to a self-care seeker.
In Dr. Mindy Pelz’s new book, The Menopause Reset, she explains how inside every human being lies an incredible pharmacy ready to heal. Dr. Pelz believes there is a 5-step lifestyle that will maximize that healing.
But it isn’t as simple as just going for a jog or doing one three-day water fast. You will need to put together several lifestyle tools to thrive during the menopause years. The five lifestyle changes that make up the menopause reset are:
Your Blueprint For Optimal Health, Longevity, And Peak Performance
The average American lifespan is decreasing, and the chronic disease epidemic continues to skyrocket. For many, the traditional path of no sleep, hard work, and an unconscious lifestyle deplete them of the health and vitality needed to be their best in their businesses, relationships, and life’s mission.
According to Kien Vuu MD, better known as Dr. V by his clients, it doesn’t have to be this way. In his new book, Thrive State, Dr V explains his ‘BioEnergetic Model’, which will help you to transition from a stress state into a “thrive state”.
Signs that you are operating in a stress state, and need to pay attention to your health include:
When asked what surprised him most about humanity, the Dalai Lama replied, “Man! Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health.”
