Resources /// Overcoming Inspiration Deficit
September 3, 2010 by Jonathan Ellerby, Ph.D. for Beliefnet
It may be a sign of the times, but even the best of us are suffering from at least a bit of an inspiration deficit these days. From the nagging sense that “something is missing”, to a struggle with motivate or full blown feelings of being “stuck” in a job, relationship or bad habit, most of these modern symptoms take their root in a lack of inspiration—not feeling connected to who we truly are and what matters most. There are ten common things that halt our process of change and keep us locked up in unwanted patterns, habits and situations. Fortunately, when a lock is made, it usually comes with a key. Here are ten keys to the most common traps along the path to balance and transformation.Tags: motivation, psychology, change, beliefnet

Resources /// Nurturing Your Child's Inner Strengths
July 27, 2010 by Jenifer Fox, M.Ed., for Beliefnet
Helping children find and develop their strengths is one of the greatest gifts parents can give. Strengths are the inner qualities that make us all feel most alive and energized. Our strengths give us the potential to make our most meaningful contribution to life. A child's strengths often show up at a very early age. Strengths are innate and usually last a lifetime. When strengths are combined with interests, children become passionate about learning!Tags: beliefnet, parenting, strength, psychology

Blog /// Movie Mom Review: The Sorcerer’s Apprentice
July 27, 2010 by Nell Minow for Beliefnet's Movie Mom blog
A pinch of movie magic makes this fantasy action movie a summer movie popcorn pleasure for kids and their families. The story goes back to an 18th century poem by Goethe that inspired a symphony by Paul Dukas a century later. But is best remembered as an animated chapter from Disney's "Fantasia," with Mickey Mouse in his most famous role, enchanting a broom to carry buckets of water and watching in dismay as things get very, very out of hand. -
