Media Release in Response to “Bullied Girl Back To Class But With Her Mother.” At What Cost?

LoGreco is offering to work with mom and daughter free of charge to teach them the necessary skills to overcome this distressing ordeal.

Toronto, Ontario—[May 13, 2013] – In response to the segment on bullying: “Bullied Girl Back to Class But With Her Mother” aired on Monday, May 13th at 5:30pm, Bruno LoGreco Author and Master Life Coach claims “What you may think is protecting your child, can actually do more harm than good.” From a life skills perspective, Jill Trahan-Hardy becoming a body guard and chaperone for her daughter at school has long-term consequences on Harley’s overall personal development.

At 11 years old, children are going through a special developmental stage that is essential for building self-confidence and trust in their abilities to deal with life situations, specifically bullying. Life skills and self-efficacy are developed when a child takes initiative to deal with oncoming situations regardless of the severity. If these opportunities are taken away, the long-term consequences include: low self-esteem, lack of self-confidence, and high self-doubt. These can lead to eating disorders, chronic depression, low self-worth, and continuous feelings of insecurity in adulthood.

To remedy this situation, the solution is to teach Harley life skills so she can walk to school with her head held high and feeling confident that she can take care of herself and this situation even if she is facing abuse or assault from the bullies. It is also necessary to teach her mom how to support Harley through this situation so they both feel empowered with strategies and tools for long-term success.

LoGreco says “Trahan-Hardy is acting based on ‘desperate, last stand position’ but there is a better way of dealing with the situation.” He is offering to work with mom and daughter free of charge to teach them basic skills to overcome this unpleasant ordeal and to help them deal with the stress in the upcoming days.”

Happiness is a state of mind not a goal. The secret behind living an extraordinary happy life is by making ‘happiness’ a lifestyle.

Here are the 10 secrets of extraordinary happiness:

1. Stretch. Stretch your legs, toes, arms, and fingers as far as you can reach. Do it for a good five minutes when you first wake up in the morning.

2. Laugh for the sake of laughing. After completing your stretches, get up and stand in one spot. Take a deep breathe, and from the pit of your stomach exhale saying “ha-ha-ha-ho-ho-ho” repeat it 3x. Feel free to jump up and down on the spot and laugh out loud for no reason. The benefits of laughing are endless:

• reduces stress and anxiety
• adds oxygen to your blood cells
• reduces stress hormones such as cortisol
• increases memory
• clears the mind
• improves clarity

3. Socialize. Meeting new friends, as you get older gets harder. As you age your priorities change, as do your interests. A good way to meet new people is by discovering your values – those are those things that are near and deer to your heart, and finding environments where you can express them. There you will meet others who share similar interests as you, and you will have an opportunity to socialize with like-minded people all while still making your needs priority.

4. Connect with your family. Keep in touch with family members on a regular basis. Make an effort to spend one night a week with them. Connecting with family gives you a sense of belonging and closeness. It can even change your physiological makeup shooting happy chemicals throughout the body.

5. Creativity. The biggest secret of happiness is creating. That’s right – creating something from start to finish will give you a sense of accomplishment, meaning, and purpose. The best part about being creative is that it could be just about anything. Here’s just a short list of creative activities:

6. Make someone’s day. Putting a smile on a strangers face isn’t hard to do. Simply by acknowledging someone with a smile and saying “good morning” is enough to make their day. You can even buy a stranger a coffee. Pull over and help the person with a flat tire. Help the neighbor with their groceries. Share a piece of your wisdom with the next generation. Do one thing everyday even if it’s just smiling.

7. Gratitude. Count your blessings; you made it through another day. Millions if not billions of people suffer everyday, their basic needs are not satisfied because there is so much upheaval happening around the world: war, recession, austerity measures; compared to all that you have and don’t need to worry over. Reflect upon your day and look at all of those things you take for granted and be grateful for them.

8. Get physical. There’s just simply no way of clearing the mind and giving it the space it needs to create a happiness lifestyle with anything less than oxygen. So get up pump oxygen in to your system and reap the rewards instantly. Go ahead and try it. Take a brisk walk. Take the staircase instead of the elevator. Skip rope, walk the dog, go to the gym.

9. Learn something new. Expand on your strengths, learn a new skill, and take an adventure. Anything is better than settling for the “same old same old” or you may wake up one day feeling stuck and unfulfilled. If you don’t know what to do, just do anything. Whatever you do is better than learning nothing. If you keep learning you will eventually stumble upon great wisdom and passion.

10. Reward yourself. No matter what happened today you deserve time for yourself. Make a commitment to reward yourself after a long day. Whether it’s a glass of wine, a little taste of sweetness, a soothing bath, or massage, you deserve it. Simply by recognizing that you’re deserving of your time will ensure you stay balanced and happy all of the time.

Here are 10 ways a life coach can help you reach your full potential:

Sort out your thoughts – With a comprehensive personal assessment your life coach should be able to root out your sabotaging beliefs and pinpoint those experiences that build the foundation of your sabotaging patterns.

Challenge your beliefs – Your life coach will help you look at your sabotaging behavior and the belief system at the root of it. He will empower you with real knowledge so that you can catch and change your automatic and negative reactions with constructive and rewarding ones.

Take back control – Far to often others control our lives. Your life coach will show you who has your control and how to take it back. After all, you can’t reach your full potential if you’re not in control of your life.

Break out of the box altogether – We’re born explorers. Human beings are naturally curious. It’s the experiences we have that stunt our desire for exploration. That’s why your life coach will help you look at your fear, understand it, and finally, overcome it.

Reconnect with thyself – Wisdom comes from within. But most of us live from the outside hardly considering what’s on the inside. Your life coach will guide you through the bumpy road leading you to reconnect with the most powerful and wise person to you – The Inner Child.

Discover your strengths and values – Your life coach is armed with a treasure chest of tools to help you rediscover your self-image. He knows exactly which tools to use to pull out your strengths and values, and to measure which ones are near and dear to your heart. Reaching for your full potential is easier when strengths and values are leading the way.

Discover your personal needs – The saying goes, “Whatever you’re hungry for is where the motivation shall be.” Recognizing and learning how to measure and satisfy personal needs will benefit you in more ways than imaginable. Your life coach will help you identify those fundamental needs and ways to satisfy them so you’re left feeling happy and fulfilled at all times.

Clarify your purpose and passion – Knowing how to apply yourself; how to leverage your strengths to express those things that are important to you, is the only way you can live a life of purpose and passion. Your life coach will show you how to do exactly that – How to express yourself to make a difference.

Set objectives that satisfy your needs – Everything you do from this moment onward, every goal you set, every move you make must tie in to the ultimate objective. Otherwise you end up doing things that have no purpose or meaning and eventually get abandoned. Working with a life coach will help you identify your ultimate vision and will put you on the path to success.

Tools and strategies to make things happen – To reach for your full potential you must honor and respect your strengths, values and instincts. You must be working toward becoming independent and self-motivated, uninfluenced by your environment moving along the journey of life with intention.

10 Ways a Life Coach will help you reach your full potential.

Life Coach Bruno LoGreco shares five steps to deal with criticism constructively.

Everyone can use help from time-to-time whether it comes from a life coach, expert, friend or family member.

For centuries, philosophers, experts, and authors have been writing about how to be successful. Regardless of the the time period, writers, thought leaders, and advisers have come to a common consensus: “In order to be successful you must socialize with like-minded people.”

That’s why I have no problems asking for help when I don’t have the answer. And right now I need help promoting Stop Sabotaging Your Life, 3 Steps To Your Full Potential. My friends over at the Author Marketing Club are going to help me do just that. They’ll be promoting my book on May 10th and May 12th.  Those are the 2 days I am giving away Stop Sabotaging Your Life, 3 Steps To Your Full Potential absolutely FREE on Kindle.

Here’s how I do it in 3 – Steps:

1. Self-Awareness—Undo the doing: recognize what you have been doing, and why

If you are going to undo the doing, you have to know what you do and in what ways it is not working. That means you must challenge your beliefs and take back control of your choices. Don’t just think outside the box—break down the box.

2. Rebuild Values—Learn a different way to do things

Once people begin exploring the reasons behind their behaviors, they often become so self-aware that they get frightened, fearing that the whole wobbly structure of their lives might come tumbling down. Relax. It is not my intention to pull away the foundations of your life and not replace the rotten timbers with something stronger and more effective. We will determine what needs to be replaced, but we won’t just yank the supports out without making sure we put something better in place.

3. Goals—Reach your full potential

Studies show that people who actively work toward fulfilling their personal needs increase their life satisfaction.

Increasing your life satisfaction doesn’t have to take a lot of time and can be accomplished simply by considering those things that make you happy and then taking an active approach in those areas of your life. If you do, you will add meaning, fulfillment, and an extra ten years to your life.

Here’s how…

Socialize with positive people: We all have different circle of friends. Some are more positive than others. Frequently engaging the most positive ones in a discussion will give you a boost in motivation, inspiration or something else that will make you feel good. Positive people give off good energy and by being around them they’ll have a positive effect on you.

Live, Learn, & Grow. When you follow those three simple steps every day of your life you will be aligned with the Universal Line of Harmony. That’s where all good things happen. Some people say that’s where the stars align – meaning that your dreams will come true. Even living in the moment and allowing yourself to be true to yourself by expressing those things that are important to you will make you feel good. When you feel good about yourself you’re able to learn through your mistakes and from that comes personal growth.

Pump Oxygen To Your Brain. What happens when we suffocate the brain of oxygen? We die… right? So the opposite must also be true, the brain needs oxygen to survive. So why do so many of us deprive the brain of oxygen? Come on folks, let’s get physical and start taking care of the most important organ in our body and nurture it by pumping oxygen in to it everyday for 30 minutes. Go for a brisk walk. Sit on a treadmill. Use an elliptical machine. Just think about all of the benefits: it prevents dementia, alzheimer’s, adds grey matter to your brain, gives you a sense of clarity, and not to mention a great body. So let’s get to it. Get Up.. Up … UP!!!

Explore. Human beings were born to be explorers. We wouldn’t have been able to travel the world and find new continents if we weren’t explorers. We’re exploring space – the galaxy and beyond. We’re exploring alien planets and discovering earth-like planets that are galaxies away. Exploring is what we do, it’s what keeps us excited and thirsty. So get out there and start by exploring your city and see where it leads you.

Give Back. Take your knowledge and share it with someone. Tell someone how simple it is to increase life satisfaction. Share your experience of how you were able to increase your overall well-being by following these 5 ways to increase life satisfaction. Helping others feel good doesn’t have to take a lot of time or effort.

I chose these 5 self-help books because of the value the authors offer to their readers. The principles are clear and inspiring, and if applied there is a promise of extraordinary living.

The 5 self-help books include:

The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference by Malcolm Gladwell.

You’re right! This book is not a self-help book. But… this book opens your mind to see beyond what you currently see. It sheds light on what causes a tipping point; what makes a fad, trend, or a book climb to the top of the bestselling list. Is there a tipping point… a boiling point at which amazing things begin to happen and spread like wild fire? Gladwell has an excellent way of explaining why the answer to this question is an astounding Yes.

Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking by Susan Cain

This must-have self-help book explores the strength of introverts in a world that values extroverts and human networking. It encourages the world to honor the strengths and values every personality type has to offer. It illustrates the balance introverts and extroverts bring to the workforce and the world. More importantly, it helps the introverted reader build courage and accept the value they have to offer to the world. Introversion is no longer vulnerability or a weakness but a valuable strength!
