17 Relationship Experts Reveal the Red Flags You’re Missing on First Dates
“The first date should be about the chill, casual courting. If things move too personal and deep too fast, this could mean that trauma from childhood was not left in childhood but is still haunting the individual in their present. The inability to process emotions and deal with them in the past can lead to problems in their adult life.” —Belinda Ginter, mind-set expert

10 Valuable Things Extroverts Can Learn From Introverts
Belinda Ginter, a mindset expert in Ontario, Canada, said extroverts have a tendency to move fast because of their boundless energy. While this isn’t necessarily a bad trait, everyone can benefit from slowing down, too.
“Introverts teach us to give ourselves time to slow down, process and think through next steps and also to enjoy the process,” she said.
Ginter added that introverts know that life can be sweeter when you take mental timeouts where you can relax, enjoy and be grateful for all you have accomplished this far. You don’t always have to be doing something.

How to actually save time working remotely
To avoid drowning in work, give your day some intention with a priority item. Belinda Ginter, a certified emotional kinesiologist who lives in Oshawa, goes further, recommending four priorities each day. She sits down every Sunday night with a glass of wine and sets attainable weekly goals. Every night, she draws from those four specific goals for the coming day. “By doing this, I am able to easily focus on what I need to do, even with the distractions of having children home. Even on my craziest days, I know I can complete four tasks,” she told ThriveGlobal. Put “proactive time” on your agenda: Zoom is a great place to visit, but you shouldn’t want to live there. Reserve time each day in your schedule for important but not urgent work.

Giving Yourself Permission to Love Again
Because you are worthy and deserving of love.
After any heartbreak, our initial human instinct is to shut down and to wall off the very thing we perceive caused the hurt and suffering in the first place. We vow never to be vulnerable again. Often, we decide to go through life alone, thinking that must be the only answer. Because hey if you don’t leave the door open love won’t come to a knocking, right?!
We have all done it …. But in all honesty shutting down never serves us in fact we end up hurting ourselves more but this time it is self inflicted hurt which we seem to be able to tolerate.
So how do we move on and allow love back in, when the thought of being vulnerable again makes us nauseous? Glad you asked!

Break Up With Procrastination
If you were to be brutally honest and transparent, how many times have you wanted an outcome, just the outcome not the journey . I do this all the time to myself I want something so badly and because I am only the end result, can you relate?. In general we forget that we need to do the actionable steps to receive the prize the goal at the end. There is a journey to be taken.
I think this is why so many people experience “analysis paralysis” leading to total procrastination. We have a tendency to overanalyze how to start and get stuck in perfectionism which prevents us from starting at all and in turn creates procrastination. Really this type of mindset is a huge form of self sabotage we engage in when you do quite feel good enough to complete the task in the first place.
Today I want you to make a list of all your desired outcomes. Don’t worry I did not just identify a problem and leave you hanging. Here is an exercise to help you break this negative behaviour forever …

Stop Trying to Fix Your Partner/ Spouse
When we are coming from a mindset of “ I must fix’ we are simply not coming from a place of love or good intention. When we believe that we need to fix another person we are instantly only looking at what we perceived are their wrongs or negatives and totally denying their positive attributes.
First of all… You can not fix anyone other than yourself it’s an inside job, not an outside job.
Secondly… Nobody is broken and needs to be fixed ( not even yourself)
We are all whole, yes we can improve and make some strengths stronger and make some weaknesses less weak but we are whole from start to finish.
What I have seen to be true after mentoring thousands of people worldwide is that you never need to fix someone else, if you work on your perception of the person and you work at shifting that, the other person shifts by osmosis.
You see, small suttle shifts in ourselves cause a beautiful ripple effect out to all those close to us. When we start seeing the goodness in you than you are finally able to see it in those people around us.
If you want to fix someone starts with yourself first and what you will find is they will be nothing external to fix after that.

Business Survival Tip #1: Create a strong business foundation
“Set up your business right from the beginning. Register your business and its name, create a business plan and hire a player team starting with a bookkeeper, accountant, and business lawyer. Go to the bank and set up your business account properly so that when payments come in you have a certain amount come out right away to go to a separate tax account. Keep one credit card so solely for business purposes and accounting. Mostly I feel so many good business owners go out of business because they do not treat the business like a business they treat it like a hobby which gets them nowhere. If you start a business right you build a strong foundation for growth in the future.”

How to Deal with Irrational People
You need to learn how to ground yourself around irrational people as often they are very reactive to things going on around them. Realize that you can not control their reactions and therefore knowing that you can not take their reactions personally.
If you are grounded in who you are and your good intentions, no matter what people react around you, irrationally or not, you will still be emotionally well.
I always visualize myself as a tree that is deeply rooted in the group. When someone is irrational, I just stay rooted and trust that their reactions can not phase me. Their overreaction or irrational behavior can be like a windstorm blowing my leaves but I stay rooted anyway.

What Is Narcissistic Abuse? (Including the Warning Signs of Narcissistic Abuse in a Relationship)
Narcissistic Abuse happens over time. its manipulation where the narcissist gets you to only focus on them and their needs by neglecting your own.
It’s based on getting the victims to trust so that is why it is slow moving. What makes it so powerful is because it is slow-moving, the victim does not see huge changes in their own behaviors so they are no big warning signs to pick up on.
The narcissist’s goal is to alienate you from any other influencers like close friends or close family who may see their behaviors as being negative and warn you. They love and admire you and lift you up, then they slam you down and strip your self-confidence, this is often why narcissistic abuse can go on for years because as quick as they are to be terrible to you in the next breath they make you feel so special and needed like they truly see all that is you.
Its a relationship based on confusion and second-guessing and can often feel like for the victim like they are losing their mind. This is because anytime they get strong enough to call out the narcissist on their behavior, they are told that they are emotionally weak and are paranoid or just “off”. The abuser wins when you feel totally dependent on them and when you have lost your own power and feel helpless without them.

Ways It May be Physically Hard To Move On After A breakup
“Just as your muscles create muscle memory when you work out, your body also creates emotional memories when you’re with someone in a relationship for an extended period of time,” Belinda Ginter, certified emotional kinesiologist, tells Bustle. Special moments like your first date, important places to you like your favorite bar to go to together, or even songs and movies, all create emotional memories. It’s why hanging out at your favorite bar post-breakup can make you feel really emotional. “When a break up happens, it feels like you’ve been torn away from not one thing you loved, but all things you loved,” Ginter says. “Your emotional memories want to take you back there because the memories created there were meaningful and pleasant. However, this can also create a hopeless feeling post-breakup if it lasts too long.”

The Broke Person’s Guide to Hanging With Friends
Eat at home first.
Even if you will be going out with your friends, you can take some steps to guard against spending more than you know you should.
“Eat at home first,” recommended Success Mindset Expert Belinda Ginter (@unstoppablebelinda_). “If your friend group is going out to a nice restaurant for dinner or a pub for snacks and you really can’t afford it than eat first. Fill up, then you only need to chip in a few dollars to snack when you’re at the restaurant. This takes the pressure off. And if everyone is ordering an entree you can get away with an appetizer to be more cost-effective.”

Here are 7 scientific reasons for which breakup is difficult not only mentally but also physically
Belinda Ginter is an expert on human emotions and says that emotional memory is similar to muscle. If you exercise, the muscle will remember this movement, and so is the relationship. A favorite movie, a place where you were on a date for the first time, or a common favorite song – it’s all affected by emotional memory. When the breakup happens, the brain feels that we have not only lost a partner, but also everything that has been associated with it. This is what makes people hopeless, because the brain tries to get it back at any cost.

Expert Tips for Managing Remote Teams, Part II
Many remote workers believe the biggest benefit of working remotely is that you’re not tied to one place—the office. You can work from anywhere in the world, as long as you have your laptop or phone and the internet to stay connected with your team. Over the years, studies have shown that working outside of a traditional office setting positively impacts work performance, among other aspects. One such study cites 82% of respondents reporting lower stress levels.
But lower stress isn’t the only benefit of working outside the office. Belinda Ginter of belindaginter.com shares: “Different settings spark creativity. Whether it’s a different room of the house, the local coffee shop, a coworking space, or the beach, encourage your team to switch it up sometimes. Then take note of how that impacts their motivation and work results.”

5. Stay Grounded
Belinda Ginter, Certified Emotional Kinesiologist, says:
-
Keeping yourself grounded is key to your well-being and really realizing that self discipline is the same thing as self love. That one was preached by the amazing grounded Will Smith.

To stay grounded, spend time with your inner circle — the people in your life who are tried, tested and true. Spend time to commit to moving your body daily. Hydrate and fuel yourself properly.
-
Lastly, remember that your own happiness is no one’s job but your own. Do things that make you feel independently happy, positive and joyful daily.

How To Tell if Your Expectations Are Too High For a Relationship
Standards and expectations are not the same thing
When we have any or many expectations of others, we end up feeling let down or betrayed. It’s a form of self-sabotage. “The goal in a relationship is to limit the amount of expectations on our partners,” said Belinda Ginter, Certified Emotional Kinesiologist, BET.

Expectations are projecting your version of your ideals on someone else and holding them to that level. Standards are a series of beliefs, value systems and traits you expect to see in an individual you choose to date.
Belinda Ginter
