http://net-teams.net/nti/Display.cfm/19071 Extraordinary Lifestyles was created because of the continuing desire for developing a life that brings richness and fulfilling experiences. It is about redefining what is possible.

At first you think this is a really good person, and then down the line you discover that the person is self-centered, narcissistic, angry and uncaring. You wonder how you could be so wrong, and what can you do differently next time? http://net-teams.net/nti/Display.cfm/338 http://net-teams.net/nti/Display.cfm/338 Sat, 23 May 2009 04:08:01 PST Living with adult ADD can be quite a challenge. Not only is it a challenge for the actual person who has ADD but for those around him or her. Much needed understanding and support for adults with ADD has finally begun to surface. But what about the people who have chosen to love, honor and cherish adults with ADD? Where do they go for support and understanding? Who is going to help them cope with the challenges of adult ADD?Over the past couple of years both online and lo... http://net-teams.net/nti/Display.cfm/533 http://net-teams.net/nti/Display.cfm/533 Sat, 23 May 2009 04:08:16 PST Fight or flight - our automatic response to danger. When fear is present, adrenaline pours into our system to prepare us to fight or flee - from the tiger, the bear, the lava from the volcano….Fight or flight - today we automatically respond this way to the present dangers, the deep fears that come up in relationships: rejection and engulfment - fears of loss of other and loss of self. http://net-teams.net/nti/Display.cfm/648 http://net-teams.net/nti/Display.cfm/648 Sun, 24 May 2009 08:40:31 PST How much energy do you spend trying to get what you want from your partner? Think about it for a moment - how much of your thinking time is spent on what to say to your partner to get him or her to be the way you want him or her to be? http://net-teams.net/nti/Display.cfm/654 http://net-teams.net/nti/Display.cfm/654 Sun, 24 May 2009 08:40:31 PST How far can you afford to bend your values to preserve your relationship? How far can you go in giving yourself up to avoid losing your partner? How much of yourself can you afford to sacrifice to not lose someone you love? How do we find the balance between maintaining our integrity and bending our values? http://net-teams.net/nti/Display.cfm/685 http://net-teams.net/nti/Display.cfm/685 Sun, 24 May 2009 08:40:33 PST Most of us who have been intimately involved with someone beyond the infatuation stage know that relationships are like a rollercoaster ride. When things are good, they are very, very good. When things are bad, they are very, very bad. As a relationship coach, I have developed Top 10 Lists---one for men and one for women on 10 things to do and not to do in relationships.MENDO1. Just listen to your partner without offering advice.2. Trust and respect her.3. Tre... http://net-teams.net/nti/Display.cfm/696 http://net-teams.net/nti/Display.cfm/696 Sun, 24 May 2009 08:40:33 PST It seems as if creating successful relationships with our significant others and parenting children are two of the most difficult jobs we face and yet we get no formal training in either. It’s as if people believe that we are born with an inherent ability to do these two things. Yet, look around us. In the US, the divorce rate is slightly over 50%! I don’t know anywhere but baseball where a 50% average is a good thing.Couples go through life getting along when times are g... http://net-teams.net/nti/Display.cfm/705 http://net-teams.net/nti/Display.cfm/705 Sun, 24 May 2009 08:40:34 PST It's the dream of 81% of the population to write a book. No matter how many times people tell you how difficult it is to do, nearly everyone wants to do it. There hangs a certain romance around writers. I think it's a kind of nostalgia or grieving for some forgotten part of ourselves. We long to return to a place where magic and imagination are revered. Others may just want the quick glory or fast buck they associate with being an author. But whatever you want, getting a ... http://net-teams.net/nti/Display.cfm/968 http://net-teams.net/nti/Display.cfm/968 Sun, 24 May 2009 10:37:08 PST Wouldn't it be nice to write a book, get paid handsomely for it and be considered a top expert all at once? It's possible--if you know the rules.1. Study the publishing industry.Today celebrity books rule. Books that catch a quick trend come in second. Take chick lit, for example. Nobody cared about hip books for women ten, or even five years ago. But women buy the majority of books--and actually read them. It's not to say that other book genres aren't viable. Of cour... http://net-teams.net/nti/Display.cfm/979 http://net-teams.net/nti/Display.cfm/979 Sun, 24 May 2009 10:37:09 PST Can you give me some feedback on my website? a life coach asked his e-zine subscribers. I just revised my site - -finally!Naturally, I couldn't resist clicking over to see what he had done. I knew he was a thoughtful coach with a reputation for high integrity. His new site cried out for a re-makeover. He had paid a designer to get drop-down menus and a bit of flash. As a result, he admitted, I have no budget to pay a copywriter.Ouch... http://net-teams.net/nti/Display.cfm/1083 http://net-teams.net/nti/Display.cfm/1083 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 04:25:05 PST
