Unconscionable: Why High Tech Stalking Knowledge Should Be Part of Everyone’s Self-Care Regimen

Unconscionable: Why High Tech Stalking Knowledge Should Be Part of Everyone’s Self-Care Regimen

Unconscionable: Why High Tech Stalking Knowledge Should Be Part of Everyone’s Self-Care Regimen Self-care Awareness Month rolls around every September, yet few think to include this little known culprit of poor quality of sleep, diminishing sense of safety, wellness, and more. With connected IoT devices in America projected to reach 3.5 billion by next year and the well documented harms of the malicious use of technology, including disruptions to productivity, sleep, and more, knowledge about the hazards and potential misuse of devices is critical to self-care. Most people consider lifestyle, diet, and heredity when trying to discover the cause of a wellness related problem that they are experiencing. Because the damaging and destructive energy (when excessive) of technology is invisible, very few people think about their environment’s effect on the issues that they are facing. People only focus on the things that they are familiar with and that they can see. Research shows that the human eye can only see .35% of light. That means that people are in the dark about 99.65% of the things that are happening all around them. High-tech stalking phenomena is part of that 99.65% range of invisible light. While the root cause is invisible without the knowledge and tools to detect it, it has very visible effects. It is written that people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge. You can’t afford to stay in the dark about this issue any...
The Overlooked Relationship Between Productivity and Cybersecurity

The Overlooked Relationship Between Productivity and Cybersecurity

Dr. Trevicia Williams Speaks Out about Cybersecurity and Productivity October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month From phishing to password attacks, there are several types of cybersecurity issues. The one that is overlooked the most is the Internet of Things Security (IoT). It is projected that by 2025. over 22 billion devices will be networked through the internet of things (IoT). Examples of IoT devices include: Connected appliances Smart home security systems. Autonomous farming equipment. Wearable health monitors. Smart factory equipment. Wireless inventory trackers. Ultra-high-speed wireless internet. Biometric cybersecurity scanners. So what does the Internet of things have to do with cyber security and productivity? Related story: Your smart home devices can easily be hacked – CBS Information can be stolen from vulnerable IoT devices which are accessed/hacked through your router and cell phone. Related Story: The dark side to technology…woman cyberstalked in her own home “Vulnerable IoT devices can be accessed and have information stolen, or the devices manipulated in a way that could cause a physical disruption.” Alternatively, IoT devices in buildings could be hacked into remotely to cause physical disruption, i.e., a polling station.” Source: Center for Internet Security That can lead to down time because you don’t know what to do and infringe on productivity. The excessive radiation can cause poor quality of sleep. Some 70 million Americans suffer from sleep disturbances and most don’t factor in the radiation from the tech around them. From power lines (the source of extremely low-frequency radiation) to cell phone towers (the source of high-frequency radio and microwave radiation), our living spaces, workplaces, and everywhere else is bombarded with electromagnetic radiation from...
Strong Lives, Self-Care, and the Most Overlooked Factor In Routines

Strong Lives, Self-Care, and the Most Overlooked Factor In Routines

Strong Lives: Self-Care and Why It’s Critical to the Fulfillment of Purpose September is National Month for Self-Improvement. It’s also the National Month for Self-Care Awareness. However, what exactly is “self-care?” The dictionary defines it as the practice of taking an active role in protecting one’s well-being and happiness, in particular during periods of stress. However, I like WHO’s definition better “The ability of individuals, families, and communities to promote health, prevent disease, maintain health, and to cope with illness and disability with or without the support of a healthcare provider.” Self-care doesn’t mean being selfish. It means putting your well-being first so that you can take care of yourself, loved ones, be productive, perform your work responsibilities, serve your community and fulfill your purpose. It also empowers you to manage stress better and improves your outlook on life. One of the most overlooked factors in self-care is the adverse effects of electropollution on wellness. Research shows that excessive exposure to electromagnetic fields leads to electro-stress, fatigue, headaches, poor concentration, sleep disturbances, and a host of other health issues. Awareness and education are keys to important knowledge about the growing problem so that you can prevent, protect and mitigate the ill effects of exposure. Productivity=success, progress, accomplishments, and the fulfillment of one’s potentials. Studies show that there is a ten-year latency period for the manifestation of symptoms. Think about the potential health problems that might be prevented by taking precautions. Since it’s airborne (like Covid), the only way to protect yourself is by first taking the time to understand what it is…#educateyourself. Studies show that it affects productivity and...

The Notes I Took About Mariah Carey’s Fluorescent Lighting Rule, It Isn’t Just A Chic Look

My Non-Diva Reasons for Taking Mariah Carey’s Advice About Shades. Critics say that she’s showing off a ‘sad attempt at the Rachel hairdo’ from ‘Friends,’ but, Mariah Carey is on point about this look. She has been talking about shades and fluorescent lights for years and here’s why it isn’t just about being a diva. A little-known invisible problem that interferes with strong living, human potentials and sabotages productivity is excessive electromagnetic radiation. It’s everywhere, including homes, workplaces, and fluorescent lighting in public places. It’s a topic that I’m shedding more light on in my Strong Lives podcast series called “Our Invisible World.” After over 23 years of varying levels of intermittent high pitch tone in my ear and sleep disturbances, research led me to the reason for my experience: Excessive exposure to #electromagneticradiation. As a researcher who has been studying human behavior for over 20 years, I only trust peer-reviewed studies during my research so that I know that the information is valid. Now, because of the research that I’ve discovered about the high magnetic fields of fluorescent lighting and its biological effects, I wear shades even when I’m shopping or indoors in public places that have them. Electromagnetic radiation is everywhere. It’s a type of radiation that includes “visible light, radio waves, microwaves, gamma rays, and X-rays, in which electric and magnetic fields vary simultaneously.” Productivity=success, progress, accomplishments, and the fulfillment of one’s potentials. Studies show that there is a ten-year latency period for the manifestation of symptoms. Think about the potential health problems that might be prevented by taking precautions. Since it’s airborne and invisible (like Covid),...
The Biggest Problem That Humanity Is Unknowingly Plugging Into Every Day and Why It Matters

The Biggest Problem That Humanity Is Unknowingly Plugging Into Every Day and Why It Matters

“People are destroyed due to the lack of knowledge.” Another insidious global crisis affecting millions of people is looming. It’s the crisis of all time, and, consequentially, humanity is on the brink of becoming an endangered species. As a researcher, human behavior expert, and empowerment facilitator who has personally experienced the effects of this invisible dirty secret, I’m purposed to shed light on the problem. “Our problems are manmade; therefore, they can be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings. Man’s reason and spirit have often solved the seemingly unsolvable, and we believe they can do it again.”~John F. Kennedy It is written that people are destroyed due to a lack of knowledge. Therefore, I want to empower you with research-based information to eliminate the fear factor that’s oftentimes involved with the unknown or unfamiliar. I also want to provide you with the education to prevent or mitigate the well-documented issues associated with it Productivity, performance, and human potentials are voltage…a measure of electrical energy. While the debate about this topic is ongoing, I hope that you’re empowered to be curious, ask unpopular questions, and exercise your senses and discernment to connect the dots. They are everywhere. There’s power in knowledge, measurements, peer-reviewed studies, and people’s stories which are oftentimes overlooked. Sadly, most people don’t know where to begin when they become symptomatic of the problem, how to explain it, nor do they know what and how to measure phenomena to eliminate the oftentimes mind-boggling guesswork. It can be measured and you can make sense...

Strong Lives: Why Is Change So Absurdly Difficult?

Why is change so hard? What’s really holding people back? Why do some people seem to benevolently breeze through all of the changes that life demands of them, while others become unglued even if they have to change their laundry detergent? Although change is inherently part of everyday life, there are few things equal to the process of personal change. Human behavior is fueled and even captivated by habits which is one of the reasons change is so hard. However, there are other explanations. Change is a continuous process that interrupts or disrupts the conditions of life leading to a new way of thinking and behaving. Change always presents the challenge of beginning something new, ceasing old ways, reducing something or adding to it. I can think of no better relevant example of change than Covid19. People resist change because they believe they will lose something of value or fear they will not be able to adapt to the new ways. Because it jeopardizes their sense of security, they also withstand change if it remarkably alters their usual schedules. The three types of changes in life include personal change such as creating a new habit or eliminating an old one, then there’s physical changes like those that occur in the human body and external changes such as world or global transitions, corporate or work related ones, cultural and social changes, and, something everyone is reeling about right now, political reform in one way or another. Another reason that change is difficult is because of all of the questions that people have when facing change. Questions like: Why is change...

3 Stunning Advantages of Adversity

The Covid-19 pandemic created a global crisis that led to unprecedented levels of uncertainty and dismay. Managing life’s storms can be uncomfortable and downright scary. It can cause one to feel powerless, reveal shortcomings, and lead to disappointment. As terrifying as adversity can be, dismissing or avoiding it deprives us of gains that we could not otherwise realize. The absence of tough times and adversity prevents us from learning and growing. We can’t develop and discover what our purpose and real potentials are. Reflecting on previous difficult times, we can see where we gained much-needed lessons, knowledge and even spiritual growth when we felt the toughness and embraced it anyway. The surprising benefits of adversity: Self-improvement and development. Inspiration, motivation, self-help book, and, life coaching significantly helps one discover his or her strengths, but, nothing teaches like adversity. Adversity forces us to press the pause, and, sometimes even stop button to assess our lives. It causes us to evaluate our behaviors and priorities to see if they are aligned with our purpose. Sometimes even success, as those who define it by material gain, isn’t really success because it lacks divine purpose…what we’re really on earth for. Development of endurance. The turbulences of life build strength and endurance to withstand future storms. Just as we reach plataeus with physical workouts, there are times when our stamina for difficulties and challenges needs to be strengthened. It’s written, the race is given to those who endure. There are sprints and marathons. In the context of life, we’re all running a marathon. There’s always another level of endurance to achieve and each one...

Crisis: Staying Strong Amid Turmoil and Uncertainty

Staying Strong Amid Turmoil and Uncertainty   It’s not easy to remain positive and strong in the midst of an unprecedented life changing event like a global pandemic. However, it’s important to keep the things that you have control over in mind, including: 1. Work through overly thinking by challenging negative thoughts and replacing them with positive ones 2. Focus on preventative measures that you can take and act on the things that you have control over 3. Acknowledge the things that you can’t control and release them  4. Find comfort in the Serenity Prayer 5. Take care of yourself6. Restrict exposure to news. Pay attention to your reaction to news updates and regulate your consumption. Taking one moment and day at a time helps too. Brighter and happier times are...
Aftermath of Tragedy: 4 Ways to De-stress and Heal

Aftermath of Tragedy: 4 Ways to De-stress and Heal

Honoring the fallen: Coping with grief and stress | WFAA.com www.wfaa.com/news/health/honoring-the…and…/273105340 Dr. Trevicia Williams Talks Ways to De-stress After Tragedy As a human behavior expert with a doctorate in psychology, I look at life events and experiences through the lens of multiple disciplines, including psychology. That’s why I stopped by ABC’s WFAA News 8 to discuss the psychological effect of grief and stress after a tragedy like the ambush on Dallas police department officers during the peaceful protest July 7. Our brains are much more sensitive to negative information than positive news. The reasoning and emotional areas of the brain must have balance to function properly. When the emotional part of the brain is overly excited, people lose control of their ability to respond sensibly. That’s why it’s important to pause, listen, seek information from all perspectives of issues and think before speaking. My work focuses on inspiration, motivation, and personal development through full potential living coaching wherein I help people define their purpose, vision, personal growth and plans of action as well as professional development through speaking, seminars, workshops and training. Seek help from a licensed mental health professional if you are in emotional distress since coaching is not counseling nor therapy. “The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is the agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that leads public health efforts to advance the behavioral health of the nation.  SAMHSA provides a list of warning signs and risk factors for emotional distress related to incidents of mass violence and other disasters. SAMHSA also has a number of resources if you or someone you know needs help in working through emotional...

The Realities of Disney Inside Out

Have you seen Inside Out yet? As a relationship life coach, I compared Disney’s Inside Out movie with my own Real Beauty Inside Out Healthy Mother Daughter Relationships seminars and coaching and found the commonality of having an inside out approach to relationships. So, here is an overview of the movie and a few tips to get through the complexities of mothers daughter relationships as well as father daughter relationships. Disney Inside Out (Pixar) leaps from the complexities of mother daughter relationships in previous movies like Cinderella and Brave and takes into account changes a father found in his own preteen little girl. For some, that is the age when adolescence begins to blur away, and kids frequently get to be touchy, darker, and they begin to disguise a significant amount of those emotions. Inside Out is an investigation of that turbulent time, and happens totally inside of the psyche of a 11 year old tween girl named Riley. The film concentrates on the main impetuses inside Riley’s head. These are fundamental feelings that drive Riley’s thought life and emotions. Simultaneously, they aide her development. They include Fear (Bill Hader), Sadness (The Office’s Phyllis Smith), Joy (Amy Poehler), Disgust (Mindy Kaling) and Anger (Lewis Black). What’s interesting is how the subconscious area of the Riley’s mind is played out through imagination, dreams, thoughts and abstract thinking. What a way for kids to be introduced to the power of the mind. In that context, the movie is very spiritual as well. So, moms, parents and guardians be aware and prepared to help your daughter or son understand the realities of the...

Dr. Trevicia Williams, Uses Coaching and Relationship Seminar to Address Publicly Shaming Teens for Punishment

 With the growing wave of parental social media shaming that has taken place in recent times, including the 13 year old girl who committed suicide after she was publicly shamed by a viral Facebook video, it was apparent to Dr. Trevicia Williams that a better way of communicating and parenting needed to be revisited. Using her years of experience as an effective success and life coach, she created the fun interactive mother daughter seminar, “I love You, But I Can’t Stand You Right Now” and a new addition to it called, “The Café.” This interactive thought-provoking seminar aims to help mothers and daughters learn skills to help them succeed through childhood, adolescence, and beyond.  Read more...

Dr. Trevicia Williams Highlights 3 Lessons We Can Learn from the Duggar Family Scandal

Just days after the Duggar family interviewed with major media outlets in hopes of quelling a public firestorm, Dr. Trevicia Williams is offering powerful lessons that can be learned from Josh Duggar, his past behavior and his journey to overcome it.  Read  more.. “When dealing with circumstances such as this one, it’s important to acknowledge the negative behavior, take steps to amend it and rely on the power of forgiveness in order to heal and move forward. Forgiveness is one of the most underutilized powers human beings have,” said Dr. Trevicia Williams, life coach and human behavior expert. “Even in Christian families, sometimes good people do unthinkable things.

Dealing with Difficult People

Dealing with Difficult People Chances are high that you have met someone who just always got under your skin. You are not always going to like the people that are in your daily life. Whether it is someone you live with, or someone you work with, you need to know how to handle people that seem to live to make your life difficult. Here are 10 tips you can utilize when you are dealing with difficult people. 1. Accept, change, or reject. You only have three choices when it comes with working with difficult people. You can accept the situation. This means you know it will never change but it is what it is. You can attempt to change how you perceive the person that seems to be giving you so much difficulty. Perhaps, they are only annoying you because you do not understand them. You can reject the situation. If the situation with the person is really that difficult it is time to move on. Find a different way to work around that person without having a negative impact on your well-being. 2. Don’t lose emotional control. Some people live to antagonize others. They want to see how far they can go until you lose control. It is important that you remain calm and do not show them your annoyance. Eventually, they will give up and move on to a new target. 3. Think before you speak. You cannot take back words once you have already spoken them. When you say hurtful things, the feelings will linger with that person. It is best to continue to be kind...

National Bullying Prevention Month: Adult Bullies in Workplace, Friends and Family

October is National Bullying Prevention Month, and, while most of the attention concerning the topic focuses on children in schools, adult bullying is a serious issue too. Bullying is an abusive behavior that involves intimidation and aggression with the bully’s intention to control another individual. The behavior is often repeated and habitual. The objective is to dominate and show some form of power psychologically, socially and/or physically. Often times people only think of bullying within the context of children in schools. While that is an ongoing issue that needs attention there are adults who are bullied that need to have their voices heard too. Manipulative adults abuse in many of the ways children do. However, it happens within the context of family, workplace, universities or colleges and cyber space. The four types of bullying include: 1. emotional and psychological 2. verbal; 3. physical; and, 4. cyber. Verbal abuse can be just as damaging as physical and psychological abuse; therefore, it should not be dismissed because it’s not hands on. Bullies usually target their victims based on differences in socioeconomic status, image, demeanor, ethnic background, physical build, social status, gender, faith, political views and abilities. Race and gender are protected classes of people and  are protected by certain laws in the U.S.  Bullying can be person-to-person or it can occur in groups. It is referred to as peer abuse when it happens at school or at one’s job. It oftentimes involves abuse such as subdued behavior that isn’t immediately obvious. There are possibilities for bullying anytime human beings have contact or interact with each other. Notable environments include communities, homes, place of employment, schools, grocery stores, school...
Self Improvement: Ideas for Making a Lasting Impression in Less than 5 minutes

Self Improvement: Ideas for Making a Lasting Impression in Less than 5 minutes

Ideas for Making a Lasting Impression in Less than 5 minutes Research shows people form opinions about us within seconds of contact. A New York University, Graduate School of Business, study showed that within the initial seven seconds of introductions, people make 11 decisions: “(1) education level, (2) economic level, (3) perceived credibility and believability, (4) trustworthiness, (5) level of sophistication, (6) sexual identification, (7) level of success, (8) political background, (9) religious background, (10) ethnic background, (11) social and professional desirability.” That’s a real eye opener! However, don’t panic because, keeping within the 5 minutes to make a great impression, you still have 4 minutes and 53 seconds to change their minds! You are the one who gives credibility to what a person thinks. Whether you’re networking, interviewing for a new job or are in a social setting, the following tips can help you leave a positive lasting impression: http://t.co/1pXAWDui0i 1. Make eye contact and smile. Good eye contact is an indication that you are interested and engaged in what the other person is saying. Research shows that maintaining eye contact about 60% of the time is a good idea. A warm authentic smile makes the best first impression. Ensure that it’s a full lip-to-cheek-to-eye smile. A smirk can make you appear to be unreal. 2. Project positive body language. For example, poor posture can be perceived as low self-confidence and self-esteem. Using your dominant hand, give a warm firm handshake. 3. Say their name. Most everyone responds positively to hearing their name being called. Remembering and saying their name helps you establish a connection. That along with...

The Psychology of Relationships: Lessons from the Bachelorette Andi Dorfman

The Psychology of Relationships: Lessons from the Bachelorette Andi Dorfman Just off the heels of the finale of another season of ABC’s The Bachelorette with Andi Dorfman, it’s a good opportunity to look at where our culture is regarding morals, relationships, and, sex. First Clare Crawley and Juan Pablo, then Andi Dorfman and Nick Viall. Before the season started, it was reported that Chris Harrison explained why Andi “was basically Sean Lowe.” We all know that was an erroneous projection. Conversely, morals and the sanctity of sex is fading. People’s standards of behavior and beliefs about what is and isn’t acceptable to do has to leave many concerned about future generations. In a recent interview with Huffington Post, Andi called Josh Murray’s proposal “sacred.” That had to have sent mixed signals to fans since she had a very different reaction to Nick Viall questioning her motive for “making love” to him in the fantasy suite. It seems a bit backwards since sex is sacred in many religions. Nick Viall appeared to be thrown off by Andi’s demeanor for the very reason that Andi was so upset with Juan Pablo Galavis after the fantasy suite experience. Andi said the fantasy suite experience with Juan Pablo was ”a disaster” and that she felt “cheap” the morning afterwards. She was so hurt and upset about her experience that she drilled him about it the next day and decided she couldn’t go on with the relationship. In a world that’s quickly changing in perspectives, morals, and values, it was refreshing to hear and see Nick express that his intimacy with Andi “meant something”...

Parenting: Ways to Deal With Defiant Teens

Ways to Deal With Defiant Teens It’s tough for parents to understand how to handle a defiant teen. The frustration comes with trying various strategies to deal with the seemingly out of control behavior and feeling like nothing is working. The ability to “get through to them” oftentimes leads to more parent teen differences and the loss of one of the primary adhesives to all healthy relationships: trust. The subsequent conflict sometimes sends teens down a road of more negative behavior. The key to turning the situation around and putting teens on a positive path is parental awareness and expressing understanding about how their teen feels. Here are some ways to do that: 1. Underlying Reason At the baseline of all of the raw emotions defiant teens express is an underlying reason. Teens have difficulties with peers, socializing, dating, school and other external relationships that may be causing misplaced aggression. For most teens, parents are their “cushion,” you are the place they go for comfort, consolation, encouragement, love and understanding. Sometimes they just want parents to listen. Then express empathy for what they are going through. Listening and empathy oftentimes turns a negative situation into a positive one. 2. Minimize Idle Time Busy teens who participate in activities tend to perform better in school, have healthier relationships with their parents and peers and are less likely to get involved with risky behavior. 3. It’s a Battlefield: Choose Wisely As teens gain more independence and continue to discover who they are as individuals, parent child differences increase. Choose situations to contend with based on their level of safety and importance....

Raising Teens: What Berkeley & Brooklyn Moms Have In Common

What Berkeley & Brooklyn Moms Have In Common Puberty’s effect on teens doesn’t begin to compare with it’s impact on moms. It is a common thread for all moms. There’s a storm of emotional, psychological, physical and social changes that occur during the adolescent years. What’s going on physically greatly affects an adolescent’s needs, desires, interests, and, emotions. As a tween and teen’s physical appearance changes, his or her social influence is altered as well. Great social influence is like putting a propeller on the range of emotional transformations adolescents go through. Physical changes, such as breast development, menstruation, facial hair, deeper voice and the like, affect children’s social experiences. Volatile hormones is not an excuse for extremes in moods and behavior, it’s a reality. Rapidly changing hormones is an explosion of chemicals racing through the body. Bodily changes can both positively and negatively affect a child’s social life. Teens who develop slower might experience less popularity than those who mature more quickly. The new attention or lack thereof affects a child’s self-esteem and confidence. Parents of teens share many of the same concerns, such as: Family Rules: Chores, Curfews, Driving, Hanging Out, Home Alone, Messy Room, Parties, Phones, Privacy, Screen Time, Social Networking, etc. ; Health and Behavior: Acne, Anger, Body Image, Cliques, Depression, Disorganization, Out of Control Teens, Eating Disorders, Fears, Friends, Insurance, Orthodontia, Passivity, Sleep, Spirituality; Activities, Events & Fun: Biking, Classes, Concerts, Friendships, Halloween, Moving, Parties, Prom, Sleepovers, Socializing, Spirituality, Sports, Summer, Travel, etc; Clothes, Grooming & Their Stuff: Acne, Allowance, Bras, Clothing, Credit Cards, Ebay, Gifts, Hair, Makeup, Phones, Tatoos, Piercings, etc.; and, Dating,...
