FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:  Positive Psychologist Shares part 2 of ‘How to make a Present of the ‘Present’ in Latest E-zine.

Ocean, NJ – January 15, 2002 – Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein, Author, Life Coach, and Originator of THE ENCHANTED SELF, has an inspirational/self-help mid-month e-zine entitled 'A Taste of Enchantment' that has been in circulation since November 15, 2000. 

Dr. Holstein writes A Taste of Enchantment with a focus on positive memories and life stories.  Subscribers also receive lively and inspiring stories from others, which focus on an enhanced way of living in each issue.  Readers are encouraged to share their own positive memories by submitting them to Dr. Holstein, who often features courageous and uplifting stories. 

  January’s mid-month article answers the question, “How can we 'give' in this giving season?” Dr. Holstein’s answer is discussed in part two of a three-part article focusing on the joys of giving in the holiday season with a particular emphasis on “How to Make a Present of the ‘Present’.”  Dr. Holstein describes in detail how making the most of your present situation by spending time with others and offering them your full attention, is often the best present you can give during the holidays.  She also recounts another story that one of her clients told her about her own ‘present’, which was learning to take time for herself to focus on self-improvement.

Dr. Holstein has been a psychologist in private practice since 1981.  Through the practice that she shares with her husband, Dr. Russell Holstein, they have created a long overdue shift in psychology by emphasizing what's right with us, rather than what's wrong.  She offers a new way of looking at your life ... your own 'enchanted self'.  Her goal is to inspire and encourage you to achieve your positive states of mind, body, and spirit. 

A Taste of Enchantment is sent out to subscribers on the 15^th of each month.  Interested readers can subscribe to the e-zine and find links to archived issues at http://www.enchantedself.com/newsletter.htm.  There is also information on how to sign up for The Enchanted Self’s lengthy print newsletter that is also available by subscription.
