Having Positive Thoughts - What You Think, You Become

Your brain works very much like a bank. Every day you make thought deposits in your "mind bank". These thought deposits develop and become your memory.

Everyone experiences plenty of unpleasant, upsetting, and discouraging thoughts. But negative thinkers and positive thinkers deal with unpleasant thoughts in opposite ways.

Negative thinkers take them to heart, so to speak. They dwell on the unpleasant thoughts, thereby giving them priority in their memory. They don't take their mind away from them. At night those unpleasant thoughts are the last thing on their mind.

Confident, positive thinkers, on the other hand, "don't give it another thought." Positive thinkers specialize in putting positive thoughts into their memory bank. Negative, unpleasant thoughts deposited in your memory can affect your mind. Negative thoughts produce needless worry, frustration, and feelings of inferiority.

Thinking in a negative way prevents you from leading a successful, rewarding, and meaningful life. Negative thoughts drain your energy levels, leaving you feeling worn-out. If you pay attention to negative thoughts they will just get bigger and stronger, causing minor issues to seem far worse than what they really are.

No one escapes life's ups and downs. Positive thinkers have their fair share of bad days and setbacks. The big difference is that they are more confident and show a positive attitude when faced with difficult situations.

Positive thinkers are focused on solutions to a challenging condition and getting results. They will invest their time in coming up with solutions rather than waste valuable time dwelling on their problems.

They are also action orientated and they will come up with the best method to overcome the condition and push forward. Positive thinkers take control of the problems and issues in their lives and by taking control they have control over the outcome.

Try this: In those moments when you are alone with your thoughts - when you are out walking the dog or taking a nice relaxing bath - remember pleasant, positive experiences. Deposit good thoughts in your memory bank. This boosts confidence. It gives you that "I-feel-good" feeling. It also helps keep your body functioning healthily.

Here is an excellent plan: Just before you go to sleep think pleasant thoughts and deposit them in your memory bank. Count your blessings. Reflect on the positive things you have to be thankful for; your spouse, your children, your friends, your health. Reflect on the positive things you experienced today. Reflect on your triumphs and accomplishments. Think about the reasons why you are glad to be alive.

Whenever you think of a situation of any kind, focus on the good part of that experience; forget the bad. Bury it. If you find yourself thinking about the negative side, turn your mind off completely. Your mind wants you to forget the unpleasant. If you cooperate, unpleasant memories will gradually get smaller and fade away.

Finally, it really is easy to forget unpleasant thoughts if you simply refuse to pay any attention to them. Withdraw only positive thoughts from your memory bank.

Another Lesson In Gratitude - Part 2

We've all read articles that encourage the idea that "when life hands you lemons, make lemonade", but when one has the opportunity to experience that for themselves it can definitely take on greater meaning. Looking past the natural negative response when life hands you less than what you expected and focus on the good things and blessings in the process can be most beneficial. Well, once again I am having real opportunity to practice what I preach you might say. It was yesterday, August 3, when my husband Jack and I along with our two cats, Woody and Bailey headed out the door in our van, trailer in tow to make our second and what would be our last trip to the high country of Arizona for the season. You see, when you live in what one might call....um.....'insufferable temperatures" June, July and August, you welcome any reprieve you can get. That's where the high country of Arizona comes in. Within two hours one can drop 20-40 degrees.....simply amazing. So, that's what we're trying to do....beat the heat as they say.

So, we're heading down the road, not a square inch of room left in the van between the clothes, the coolers packed tight with food, the firewood and of course the cats and all their luggage; including a double decker cat stroller. Hey, we travel in comfort what can I say. We've got our Starbucks Iced Americano as per usual and feeling much relief that we actually got out of town and are on our way. We pull into our usual first stop in Payson which is the Safeway store to get a few last minute perishables and our cubed ice for those "special" drinks we make. Because we have the cats with us and it is now approaching 95 degrees at this elevation, we leave the van on and lock the 'kids' inside with the air conditioning on. When we come back we noticed that the car seems to be idling/vibrating awfully hard. Hmmmm, we think....well it's just hot, and the A/C is putting extra stress on the car. We pull into the next section of the strip mall to pick up another item and again Jack says he'll just run in while the cats and I stay in the nice cool vehicle. Well, within minutes after his exiting the car I notice the van start to shake and idle even more roughly. What is going on here? I am thinking to myself. So I immediately turned the car off, tried to hustle Jack on his way by cell phone and figured we just needed to get this puppy back on the road. Nice thought in theory. However when he tried to restart the car nothing happened. It made that sickening sound like it was wanting to but just couldn't make it. You all know what I am talking about. The "car won't start - how much is this going to cost me? blues"

Well, this is the start of the 'gratitude moment'. We just happened to be in a parking lot in front of an Auto Zone store. So, Jack decides he will consult them. Well, at this point with the temperatures rising in the car I am really starting to 'glisten' as a lady would say. So the only option is to follow him in the store for his "my car won't start - 101 course". The only problem is that that would also leave the cats behind in the hot car. Have you figured it out yet? Yep, we haul out the stroller, place Bailey in it and then put Woody in his steel framed carrier (remember he's a chewer) and trek into the store. It's a wonder they didn't run for cover when they saw us coming with all the paraphernalia we had with us; water bowl, make-up bag (after all I couldn't let my make-up melt in the hot car, now could I???) and our water bottles. But, they were most kind and said we could keep the cats in the store for as long as we needed. Little did we know at this point that it would be needed much longer than we expected. We pulled Woody out of his carrier and slid him into the bottom compartment of the stroller so he'd be a little more comfortable and began what would be the second phase of this saga.

After considerable discussion and consultation you might say with each customer service parts employee, it was decided that the assistant manager would call his 'bud' up the street who had a repair shop. His opinion was that it was our fuel pump. Well, with that pretty much decided we still had the concern of getting the van to the repair shop. We call the Auto Club and they tell us that someone will be there in 30 minutes. Yeah, right. In the meantime, the nice owner of the repair shop offers to come and disconnect our trailer from our van (can't tow a car that's towing a trailer, you know). So, while we're waiting for him to do that, we call the Auto Club again. My husband's getting a little frustrated at this point as am I and the next words I hear coming from him are, "look, can't you tell the guy it's an emergency?? I got my cats here and we're stranded". Somehow, the story wasn't effective. We had to wait another 60 minutes. All the while we're watching the sky grow blacker than the color of coal and are seeing lightning strikes throughout. Having traveled to the high country as much as we have this time of the year, we know where this is going. The heavens are about to open up and dump a real soaker on us.

To add to the scenario, the poor cats have been away from their food and litter box for nearly two hours and I am getting nervous. I suggest that he take them back to the van so they can refresh and relieve themselves. After all, I didn't want any surprises in the auto parts store. They were being kind enough as it was. Just after Jack got them into the van, the tow truck guy shows up. I had no idea he would get the van loaded up that quickly and the next vision I see is the van going up at an angle about 10 feet in the air with Bailey looking out the passenger window giving me a "silent" meow. Oh my word.....the cats are in the car!!! Nothing to do now but to pray, as they say. The thunder is growing louder and the van is loaded on the tow ramp, but we still have the stroller and ourselves to get to the repair shop. There are three seats in the tow truck. Jack was going to follow on foot pushing the stroller but the next thing we know, the tow guy is strapping the cat stroller on the back of the tow dolly with bungee cords. I am not making this up.....I have pictures for any of you doubtful readers.

Now my petite 5'2" frame is struggling to get up in the truck cab which has to be at least 6 feet off the ground, but with the help of a foot rail and a friendly "push" behind me from my chivalrous husband, I made it in. We travel the five or so blocks to the repair shop and get dropped off while the van is being lowered; again with Bailey mouthing a "silent" meow. It's hard to say where Woody was through all of this. We didn't have time to ask him, believe me. Because of COURSE, it's now starting to rain. We run for cover to the little repair shop's office and are told that by now the time is too late to work on the car so we'll have to stay the night. I secure a hotel a few blocks away and again we're offered transportation over to it, which was a real blessing because the thought of trying to make it on foot with two cats, a stroller, their luggage, and our luggage was just a tad bit overwhelming.....in the rain nonetheless.

While I am on the phone with the hotel negotiating a decent deal, playing on the unfortunate nature of our situation, I then see the repair guy hoisting what he called a "Texas sized litter box" into the back seat of his quad cab truck. This left two seats open besides the drivers. Again, where were the cats in their stroller going to ride? OK, you've probably figured this one out, right....? They are now riding in the back of the pick-up truck, again bungee corded in. In the rain. We arrive at the hotel, wet cats and all and get checked in. Again, I see the repair man helping to haul our stuff out and this included lugging the "Texas sized litter box" up two flights of stairs because of course they had nothing available on the ground level. He helped with getting us settled and told us that as soon as our car was ready the next morning, he'd call and come and collect us once again.

This is where the 'gratitude' part comes in. First off, YES we were upset that our second and last camping trip of the season was thrown way off course. YES, we were just a little upset that it cost us an auto repair bill and a hotel room and frankly, a lot of hassle. But, we were also very grateful. Had we not stopped for that second purchase in Payson, we would have been on the highway in the heat when the fuel pump went out. We would have had no way to get out of the heat ourselves and certainly no way to protect Woody and Bailey. I would have been frantic with worry over them. Jack may have had to hike back to town along a very busy highway in the heat for help. It could have been a disaster. Instead, it happened right in front of an Auto Zone store in a friendly, little town where people still know what it's like to be a good neighbor. All of our needs were cared for and though it wasn't the way we had envisioned it, we were OK. And we were after all.....together.

I am also grateful because I had the opportunity to build more faith in my boy, Woody. He's been a real pill when it comes to trying to chew his way out of his stroller. Actually, he has done this and frankly it truly could be a whole other story on it's own. But, this time, Woody proved to be a real champ when he had to sit in his stroller inside the Auto Zone store for 90 plus minutes. He just lay very quietly and watched the people come and go throughout the store. Perhaps he enjoyed the entertainment. I know people thought he and Bailey were entertaining. It's not too often that you see ordinary cats in a stroller, especially in a small town. But, then again....these are no ordinary cats as you well know.

I am happy to say, that we got on our way, albeit 24 hours later than planned, and even managed to secure our favorite campsite in our favorite campground. We've had beautiful weather and a really nice time. Woody and Bailey are enjoying themselves immensely watching chipmunks, squirrels and woodpeckers. We are very grateful, actually. So, once again I've been forced to count my blessings and not the trials. Something that I think gets easier with time, age and practice. I've certainly had the practice lately and knowing life as I do......I am sure I'll get more. And for that....be sure to stay tuned!!

A Fluid Awakening

A change in the weather is sufficient to recreate the world and ourselves. - Marcel Proust

This year my ushering in of spring was a rather rude - and fluid - awakening. While often the season of unpredictable weather, it is generally accompanied by warm, sun-filled days with only occasional showers. Unless you live in the Red River Valley - here spring may be accompanied by a massive flood.

A change in the weather, included heavy fall precipitation, rain and late spring snowfall on already saturated ground, colder than normal temperatures and a higher-than-normal volume of water flowing up from the south. What does that mean? Ice jams, record-high water levels in the Red River Valley and a burgeoning river with nowhere to go but over its shallow banks.

I happen to live along those banks, in the south end of Winnipeg. With predictions of floodwaters in the city only two feet lower than 1997 - the so-called flood of the century (I guess that was last century) - I am advised to prepare for the worst and hope for the best. Hundreds of sandbags in my backyard are the only barrier between my house and a gushing, bloated, prairie river; one that I prefer to admire while standing beside it - not in it.

Cause for alarm, perhaps. A time when one might feel somewhat betrayed (not to mention inconvenienced) by Mother Nature, and finding it difficult to remain calm, breathe deeply and get on with business, pleasure... or just plain life. I realize this high water and relentless ice can also wield its fair share of perspective.

I've discovered that this flood of unpredictability, somewhat analogous to the current state of the economy, can be seen as a disaster or simply an abrupt shift in the balance of nature. And as they say, "shift happens." In either view, we have about as much control over this change in events as we have over controlling the weather.

So, what to do? In times of ebb and flow there are always those who will do well no matter how bleak the circumstances and those who will falter no matter how bright the forecast. When asked for a recommendation about how to weather the financial crisis a wise woman responded: "Chill out and go to work." When flipping through the Globe and Mail Style section, I recently noticed a hot-selling poster of timely advice from the Second World War. It read: "Keep calm and carry on." A framed copy of the poster is one of the latest design trends. I've decided to adopt this motto in handling the waxing and waning of both my financial portfolio and my riverbank.

I admit that remaining calm during a flood of disastrous events (physical, economic or otherwise) may be easier said than done. But after you've done all you can do to protect yourself, your property or your livelihood, it may be a good time to reflect on what matters - a chance to re-evaluate what drives and sustains us, to reinvent ourselves, or reinvest our energy in better ways.

This season's transition from winter to spring (at least in southern Manitoba) has been an extreme makeover. Nature - both human and environmental - is a powerful teacher. What we draw from it, and our experience of it, depends much more on our outlook than the forecast.

Lessons From a Balloon Ride

I knew I had made a breakthrough in my positive attitude when I went for my first hot air balloon ride. We had been told several weeks ago that my husband and I had been chosen to accompany his mother on the ride to spread his cousin ashes over the family farm.

I was so excited I could hardly contain myself. Riding in a hot air balloon was something I had always wanted to do.

When the day arrived, my sister-in-law told me the ride was only for two not three people and I wasn't supposed to go. That didn't sound promising but I waited to see for myself. I just knew I would be going on that balloon ride and I wasn't going to let anyone damper my expectations.

Upon the arrival of the balloon and its crew, we learned that the ride was, indeed, only for two people (plus the balloon man). We were also told that there wasn't enough wind that day for three people anyway.

Instead of getting disappointed, I stayed excited for my husband and ran around taking pictures of the prep work. When the balloon was ready to go and the passengers had boarded I went up close to get a photo of my husband and his mom as they took off.

The crew were still holding down the balloon. Just then, the balloon man said to me, "I think there is enough wind now and you don't weigh much... why don't you come too!" I couldn't believe my good fortune. Camera in hand, as I climbed in I suddenly had the thought, "Wait a minute, I have a fear of heights." Too late---we were off!

Up we went and yes, I was scared at first. I thought if I leaned out to take a picture I might tip over the basket and we'd all fall out, and where were the parachutes? But my anxiety gave way to awe as we sailed up over the trees (and my picture-taking didn't tip over the basket).

After dumping the ashes, we swiftly climbed to an altitude of 3,000 feet. From that height the view was so spectacular that I forgot all my fears, cares, and concerns, and I was filled with pure enjoyment and bliss of the now moment. I couldn't believe how much fun it was and how magnificent the views were in the foothills of the Berkshire Mountains of Massachusetts. We took a 45-minute ride and came down right before the wind died.

In retrospect, I found that I had learned some valuable lessons while up in the air that expanded my personal growth.

1) Never submit to disappointment. Even when everyone says no to your desire, the Universe can come up with a yes.
2) Face your fears and then do what is necessary anyway. Then you just grow out of them.
3) When you have the big picture, life's challenges drop away, or become less significant and joy replaces them.
4) If you can treat a challenge as an adventure, it becomes more fun and more exciting.

I hope my story inspires you and gives you some insights as to how you can make your desires, and even your fears, an adventure.

Permanently End Co-Dependent Patterns And Become A Mature Adult

Do you know that most people, without realizing it automatically operate from a series of subconsciously driven programs that cause them by default to feel and behave like dependent, small, helpless and needy children? Do you know this makes them unattractive, unsuccessful in relationships, feel weak and unworthy, lowers their self esteem, and leaves them prone to rejection? Do you know this is like walking around in a hypnotic trance like state believing that you are something/someone other than who you "really" are? Finally, do you know that it is now possible to permanently wakeup from this debilitating nightmare, remember and re-experience one's mature, confident, independent, self sufficient and empowered adult self? Want to learn more?

Suppose you went to a stage hypnosis show and while there decided to become one of the guinea pigs who was on stage. While under hypnosis you were given the suggestion that from now on whenever you perceived that someone was rejecting you you'd start to feel and behave like an unloved, small, weak, helpless, unwanted, needy child of 5 years of age.

So after the show each time this happened you'd find yourself automatically and with little self control rapidly regressing into this embarrassing child like state. Can you imagine how your life would unfold with this internal subconscious program repeatedly being re-triggered?

I am sure that for many of you it's probably more familiar than you'd like to admit and also it isn't because you were ever hypnotised by a stage hypnotist. Rather it's because you were "hypnotised" into believing that you were unloved and unwanted when you were a young and very hypnotically suggestible child by the adults around your who for whatever reason failed to give you the kind of nurturing environment that made you feel safe, secure, wanted, loved, at peace, able to be playfully spontaneous, and grow up to be a self confident, self assured mature adult.

So that means that you remain stuck with an old outdated notion that you are unwanted and unloved. That notion is generated and supported by the old negative memories of the early life events that remain stored inside your subconscious mind and serve as the "hypnotic evidence" for why you feel the way you do.

Few people ever escape this nightmarish trance like state and instead find these limiting negative self perceptions severely constrict their self expression, creative potential and their over all sense of personal fulfillment and success in life. This is unfortunate because all it takes now to address this is to simply "wake up" from that hypnotic trance much like how wakes up from a sleeping nightmare.

So how does one do that you ask?

Well, in this context, waking up, implies that the internal subconscious "movie" called the negative memory that plays itself our on the screen of the mind must be permanently shut off. That is accomplished simply and rapidly with a new empowerment coaching process that permanently deletes those negative memories.

When this happens the individual literally within moments starts to feel more like their adult capable self. The feelings of smallness, weakness, insecurity, low self confidence, inadequacy and so on are replaced with an experience of self sufficiency, independence, inner strength, energy, excitement about life, creativity, self assuredness, maturity and much more to name only a few.

Affirmations To Help You Build Resilience - 20 Second Skin Affirmations

Sometimes in life you can find yourself having off days when you feel out of touch with those around you. You might feel targeted, criticised, ignored or just not taken seriously for whatever reason. What you may need is a strong set of affirmations to help you build resilience and develop a second skin.

The concept of the second skin is that you are literally creating a psychological protective barrier between the inner you and the other person. This can be done by placing yourself, in your mind's eye, inside an imaginary glass bubble. You can see out through the bubble, but you're protected from being hurt by the glass.

Alternatively you can place an invisible wall of white light around your body. This has a similar effect to the glass bubble in that you're shielding yourself from the acidity of the comments you receive.

Whatever method you use, the idea is that you are preventing negativity from being absorbed into your body, your psyche and your subconscious. In this way you maintain a sense of inner strength and balance, rather than being crushed by what is happening around you.

The following 20 affirmations help to build that resilience or develop that second skin. They work best if said out loud and with feeling so that you create a vibration or sensation in the body as you speak. This helps to drive the messages home. Repetition also helps to embed the affirmations into your psyche.

1. I always do the best I can given the person I am right now
2. I always have the power to choose to ignore any animosity that comes my way
3. I am improving every day, and as long as I am doing my best, no-one can ask any more of me
4. Others' negative comments towards me are opinions and are necessarily true
5. If others do not treat me in the way I would like it is their issue not mine
6. I am no better or worse than anyone else 'out there'
7. I am completely self reliant. I do not need the approval of others to feel that I am worthy and a person of substance
8. Everyone around me is just trying to make sense of the world in the same way I am
9. Those who are the most negative towards others re often dissatisfied with themselves
10. I exercise the right to live my life on my own terms, and know that that is enough
11. I am not responsible for changing others. I am only responsible for how I respond to others
12. I choose not give anyone the right to undermine my strong inner sense of who I am by their comments or behaviour
13. I choose, from now on, to assertively take up my place in the world
14. From this day forward I choose to give more significance to those around me who value me for who I am, and less to those who do not
15. It is not important what others think of me, what is important is my inner sense of who I am
16. I always face every situation with confidence, knowing that there is an ideal way to tackle anything, and there is a solution to every dilemma
17. I always have the power to choose to let go of any emotion
18. From now on I commit to being so strong that nothing and no-one can shake me
19. Any adversity that comes my way is an opportunity for me to develop a winning strategy and to grow
20. Every day I am deepening the level of respect I have for myself, and this is being radiated to others

Six Ways To Maintain A Positive Attitude When Your Emotions Are Low

Do you ever wonder how some people always seem to be happy? You ask yourself, how do they do it? What is it they have that I don't? I believe that some people are naturally happy people. This may come as a result of the environment they grew up in. I also believe that even in the best of families there are challenges for emotional support allowing us to be who we who we want to be. We all suffer mood swings. Moods that appear as a result of recent events both happy and sad. The moods we remember most are those that pull us down. We have a tendency to slip back into limiting beliefs about ourselves at times like this. We need to be cognitive about these negative emotions. Our friends and business associates sense and feel these negative feelings and they will have a tendency to pull back. You then are drawn even deeper into these negative emotions as a result. It can be a vicious circle.

How many times in your life have you heard a friend or business associate say, "I am on a roll right now" I expect you have said that numerous times yourself. Pretty accelerating feelings aren't they? So how can we stay pumped so we can lead a happy and productive life?

Start a gratitude journal. I personally have one. Start your day by writing down all the things you are thankful for in your life. This will help push back the negative feelings that can creep into your day.Start your day with some quiet time. Get up a half hour before the rest of the family. This can be your time to read and plan your day without the distraction of others. We all need time to our selves. It's a time that we can be proactive in our thoughts and not reactive. It's about maintaining control of our thoughts and emotions.Take the time to get some exercise. I walk about 20 miles a week. I actually log my walks in my daily journal. I do not take my Ipod. It's a time reflect without distraction. It a great way to walk off frustrations. It's also a great way to keep your blood pressure down.The morning news on the Radio or TV is always full of negative information. I personally get my news from the internet or a news paper. I choose the news I want to read. With Radio and TV the news it what they want to tell you. Think about it. They are not broadcasting feel good stuff. Why start you day that way?Tell your family and friends that you love them. Go one step further. Tell them why you love them. When is the last time a loved one barked at you after you told them you love them?Work toward obtaining an abundance mindset. These two books will help you get to this space. Go and purchase the book. "Chicken Soup for the Soul" by Jack Canfield. I suggest you also purchase and read, Don't Sweat The Small Stuff" by Dr. Richard Carlson. You will feel blessed for all you have. Better still you will come to understand, abundance has a never ending supply.

We all have abundance and so many wonderful things in our lives. It's human nature that we tend to focus on what is not going our way. We struggle to fix what's wrong in our lives. Build on obtaining more of what is good in our lives adverse to trying to fix what we perceive is a problem. One of my favorite sayings is by Mark Twain. "I spent much of my life worrying about things that never happened" There is more abundance on this planet than we could ever imagine. Use to your advantage an abundance mindset. Embrace these feelings to keep you in a positive frame of mind. Most of important of all. Remember to smile. It's contagious.

A Better Way of Handling Anger

Anger is an emotion. Anger only exists if we give it power. Screaming and yelling usually results in more screaming and yelling. When we are enraged, we are out-of-control. The minute we begin to raise our voice, we are lowering our energy. We are allowing another person's insecurity to bring us down. By reacting negatively, we have interrupted our ability to perceive rationally. Remaining calm and peaceful during heated discussions is a much better place to be and it is truly a skill. The tendency to react is feeding your ego negatively. First someone yells, and then we respond by yelling back. After we vented our non-loving feelings, we often are plagued with guilt. This mental replay is what starts the 'coulda/woulda/shoulda syndrome.' This pattern progresses into 'figuring-it-out' with more judgment of yourself and others. And the problem remains...

When we are angry, it is only because we want to be right... We are in fear... We are resisting... We are coming from a position of lack... Learning to deal with anger can greatly help us to have improved health and also better relationships. Seeing things from a deeper level helps us to have clarity as to 'why' we are reacting in the ways we do. Our responding in a knee-jerk manner is communicating in an ineffective manner. These patterns are often repeated because we don't know how to stop reacting in anger. We may think there is nothing we can do to change these patterns. We repeat negative and angry patterns, quite simply, because no one ever showed us how we can respond differently. We can actually train ourselves to see our own triggers and can then decide to respond in other ways. We can then decide to make better choices.

When we recognize that we have a tendency to react in anger, is our beginning to discriminate. By learning how to remain calm, offers us a much better opportunity of being successful in business and in personal relationships. An extremely powerful way to diffuse anger is to keep quiet. If someone is yelling, it is always a result of what we are holding in mind. If we are able to keep quiet, we have a much better chance of remaining in control. Instead of judging another, the situation, or yourself, please remember to immediately begin applying love. By applying love, we are moving into a higher level of action. By remaining calm helps us to remain in a neutral place. In order to feel calm, it is helpful to silently say, "I Love You!" Applying love is being smart. See for yourself and say, "I Love You" 3-times. Just by saying this phrase is calming and peaceful. In saying this phrase repeatedly, instantly will diffuse the anger of another person. Love is the answer. Love is the most powerful energy in the universe. You can love or hate. The choice is yours... and it always will be.

Why Some People Age Much Faster Than Others And Why Some Don't Seem To Age At All

Aging is a Choice

We are often confronted with a certain view of reality that other people have upheld and adopted before we did.

One of the best examples of how we create our realityis aging. Biological aging, which should not be confused with chronological aging, is a natural phenomenon that will affect every person at some stage in life; at least this is what we have been led to believe. Since everyone repeatedly tells us the same story, we begin to accept the 'reality' (of aging) and reinforce it through our personal experiences. So it must be true! But this does not explain why some people age much faster than others and why some do not seem to age at all.

It would be intriguing to find out what really determines our life span. Some of us may live up to 100 years or more without feeling old whereas others might die from 'old age' 50 years earlier. The ancient Indian sage Shankara who displayed extraordinary wisdom from the age of 8 saw the process of aging as being deeply rooted in a person's own belief system. He said: "The only reason why people age and die is because they see other people age and die." We all have more or less different viewpoints or opinions about the world as such. This may lead to varied perceptions of reality. What is the 'truth' for one person may not be relevant at all for another person, yet with regard to the ideas of aging and illness, we seem to agree with each other for we rarely step out of the main paradigm altogether.

To avoid looking for the real cause of decline with age, we prefer to believe in an invisible force that somehow and gradually programs our life to deteriorate according to a numbering system (from years 1-100...). It seems too far fetched for us to accept the idea that we may be causing the aging process ourselves. Do we perhaps give ourselves the (unconscious) permission to age because this lets us off the hook to take responsibility for our own life and that of other people?

Who Ages, Who Doesn't?

The mind/body connection is at work as long as we live. This is also true in the case of aging. If you believe that your biological age is 60 today because you have had 60 birthdays and that you are soon ready for your pension, then you are likely to be in the process of adjusting your biological age to your psychological one. This means that your biological organism may soon be as old as you believe it should be. When you become aware of the regular automatic 'servicing' that renews your body (each year 98 percent of the atoms of your body are turned over) and you are not afraid of aging either, you will find it difficult to age in the negative sense of the word.

People in poor relationships or those living in social isolation, those who create stress and worry in their lives, whose lifestyle (overeating, alcohol, tobacco, drugs etc.) is unnatural, or who have no purpose in life, age fast. Those who put themselves first in everything are also known to be prone to accelerated aging. People who suddenly lose their purpose in life are known to age and die very quickly.

By contrast, individuals who care about their health, who often think how they can be of help to others and the world, and who are in a secure and loving relationship, are known to halt the aging process and maintain their youthfulness. According to research studies, those who meditate regularly at least twice a day for 15-20 minutes can reduce their biological age by 12-15 years within five years. Similar results have been demonstrated among those practicing other forms of relaxation as well as yoga, Tai Chi, Chi Kung etc.

Locusts, too, have a physical body, yet they can live forever if nobody kills them. Their secret is that they change their bodies once a day. We, too, replace our proteins, which are the building blocks of our cells, within 2-10 days. Why should we age, when our 'replacements' are as good as the old ones? Locusts do not suffer from stress in their lives, nor do they smoke, watch television, and eat more than they need or count their years of age. What about redwood trees? They can live from 6,000-10,000 years. Trees have no reason to believe that aging is a necessary part of their life.

We believe, however, that it must be different with us humans. It is true; we are not trees or locusts. Yet there is no rational, scientific reason to show that aging is a natural part of human evolution. Even the science of aging has not yet come up with a consistent theory that could explain why we age. Aging should not be confused with death. Nobody dies from old age but from other reasons such as accidents or illness. Aging is usually equated with a loss of vigor, physical strength and mental abilities. Accordingly, everyone who grows in age should be suffering from such or similar debilities. Yet this defies the reality of thousands of old people around the world who remain in good health throughout their lives.

Most people who live very long lives come from the Himalayas, the state of Georgia in the former Soviet Union, The Hunza mountains, Japan, the high Andes and other regions of the world where our idea of aging has not yet penetrated. One of our 'rules' of aging suggests that that it is normal to experience a deterioration of your eyesight after the age of 40 or 45. Yet societies who live in such isolated regions of the world as the Abkhazian Mountains of Southern Russia have completely contrary experiences. They are certainly not less human than we are. Abkhazians have their senses of vision and hearing in perfect condition at almost any age. People a hundred and more years old are seen swimming in ice-cold streams and riding on horseback. The elders (70, 80 or more years old) from certain tribes in Northern Mexico can run up to 60 miles a day without any sign of fatigue or exhaustion; they even show lower heart rates after their marathons than before.

These people rarely die from a disease. When their time has come they know it, and without making much of a fuss they experience the end of their lives with a profound sense of peace, accomplishment and fulfillment. Because their social systems honor old age more than any other 'achievement' does, they don't regard death as a form of punishment. For these people, advanced age is synonymous to maturity, wisdom, a wealth of experience and a good reason to become older faster.

For many women in Western societies, menopause represents a mid-life crisis. In some societies of the Far East menopause is very rare and some women are still fertile at age 70. On the other hand, if it occurs early it must not necessarily indicate a physical imbalance or progressed state of aging. Menopause can signal a new phase of living, when maturity, wisdom and love get a chance to reach unprecedented heights. If a woman is convinced that menopause is bad for her or if she is afraid of the mid-life changes, she may indeed experience it as one of the most difficult periods of her life.

Liberty From Poverty

Poverty is a spirit that one subscribes to as they develop. In other words no one is born poor.

Definition; fundamentally, poverty is a denial of choices and opportunities, a violation of human dignity. It means lack of basic capacity to participate effectively in society. It means not having enough to feed and clothe a family, not having a school or clinic to go to, not having the land on which to grow one's food or a job to earn one's living, not having access to credit. It means insecurity, powerlessness and exclusion of individuals, households and communities. It means susceptibility to violence, and it often implies living in marginal or fragile environments, without access to clean water or sanitation.

The above definition of poverty is a broad definition. I want to offer a simple and precise definition which is to lack. When lack is embraced and exalted it program your spirit and when it get don in your spirit, you start to walk believing and knowing that you are poor and you automatically become a poor woman or poor man, THE BELIEVE SYSTEM PLAYS A ROLE IN DEFINING YOUR LIVELYHOOD. Do not misinterpret me I did not say if you are insufficient you are suffering from poverty only God is sufficient.

Here in Africa the reason we are poor is we believe we are poor. We think poverty, talk even walk poverty. The danger of it is that eventually we download it to our progeny. I had an opportunity to meet Lil Jimmies as I was exploring the world and what shocked me most was their approach toward life at their tender age. Listen to one of conversation with Jimmy.

Randi; hello Jim

Jim; hi (looking down)

Where is mami; She is not home

Randi; Ok what are you doing for livings are you schooling or something?

Jim; I do not school, I stay in a (leteroko) trailer over there(pointing to rusty muddy trailer)

Randi; Why?

Jim; No money and you know life is hard here.

Randi; if I give you money will you go school?

Jimm; give me I want lebrara (tobacco) and no school

I want to you to see the above conversation the problem is not money, It is the mentality that has been installed by the environment surrounding Jimmy. Imagine the life of Jimmy he is now 12 years of age but his has a wrong mindset. Imagine him in the next 5 years he will be nothing but a gigantic Zombie.

External environment play a role in inventing our purposes or our fate.

What is surrounding you? I am feeling for the helpless children

Joseph was my neighbor during our school years. I observed his life crumble to pieces simply because where he lived, He lived in a SEPOTO (home with a BAR in it). Growing up he was tenacious and determined to be an asset to his family he observed all moral ethics and spiritual laws but a while. When we graduated to go for secondary education I started smell BOJALWA (Home made beer very corrosive) all over his body every time we were studying. Even though he was hiding it from me began to notice corrosives on his lips. Eventually he started drinking in the public with friends and suddenly beer corroded his life. Last time I checked on him he was going around begging for some cents from good Samaritans. Terrible.

Now how to be free from poverty?

Believe you rich; Even Jesus said if you believe all things are possible. Read books written by rich guys, watch inspirational movies, walk with great guys let them be where you anchor your faith. Read about great guys with great personnel and character.

Visualize yourself living better. You can only go as far as you can imagine or see. They is no limit to the extent of vision. How far can you see? How much can you dream? See yourself a manager, director, lawyer etcetera.

Then Say it: Confess your vision; keep saying what you want to be. Let it be in the present. Say I am a lawyer, I am happy, I have a good marriage. Say even though you don't have it. Say it three to 10 times a day in the bathroom, kitchen, bus stop and email me the result after 3 weeks.

Three Good Things

For every thing that goes sideways in our lives, there are twice as many things that go right. However, all too often we focus on the few mishaps rather than the positives. This negative focus sours our day lowers our immune system and makes us feel powerless. I notice this tendency in myself sometimes and have created a game I like to play when I catch myself spiraling downward. I call this game "Three Good Things."

I recently had a chance to play it, when I was traveling to Vancouver for a lunch presentation. Awaking to an early five a.m. alarm clock, my partner John gave me a ride to the bus stop. We kissed goodbye and I hopped on along with all of the other early morning travelers. Just a few blocks into our journey, the driver announced that the windshield wipers were broken and that we must get off the bus and he would try to get another bus for us from the depot. Chances were slim that we would still make it to the ferry terminal in time. Here we were standing in the rain, waiting for another bus that may or may not arrive in time for us to catch the ferry. People started complaining about the bus service, one person called her husband to pick her up and take her back home, the bus driver kept saying, "we are not going to make it to the ferry in time". In the midst of this doom and gloom, I began playing my first round of "Three Good Things." I challenged myself to come up with three things that were good about this situation and came up with the following:

1. Even if I miss the early ferry, I will still be able to arrive on time for my lunch talk.
2. I have a good book with me and two extra hours to read it in case we don't make the early sailing.
3. This bus driver takes safety seriously and is doing everything he can to get another bus as quickly as possible. I feel safe.

Meanwhile the doom and gloom talk continued around me until the new bus arrived and we all got on. The driver seemed to have his foot glued to the gas pedal and we somehow arrived at the ferry terminal 5 minutes before departure. Even though the ticket sales usually stop 10 minutes prior to departure, the BC Ferry staff let us on to the ferry. We were on our way to Vancouver - another good thing.

Before I created the "Three Good Things" game, I could have easily spiraled downwards with everybody else and gotten upset. However, I chose to have fun with my game and that helped me keep things in perspective.

Give it a try the next time you catch yourself thinking "oh no!" Take the challenge to come up with three good things. Sometimes it may be difficult to come up with positive aspects, however just engaging in the game and looking for the good things will help shift your perspective. Enjoy!

Enough With the Blaming Already!

If pointing a finger could solve a problem, we would no longer have any problems. We have become a country full of experts, absolute pros, every one of us, at determining what the other fellow is doing wrong. We have whole armies full of talking heads who generate faxes, tweets and emails about the stupidity of 'the other party' all day long, every day now. We have whole television networks full of people who vote a single party line and feel no qualms whatsoever about calling such a slanted viewpoint "news." We no longer need facts, or clear vision, or honest dialogue. We have rant and volume and we're not afraid to use 'em. We know how to stir up the masses and pour.

The worst of it is: we're no longer even trying to govern at the national level. We're just trying to obstruct, to keep 'the other party' from accomplishing anything. We're too focused on the next election-which our party will have a better chance of winning if 'the other party' can't get anything done while in office-to see the moment we're in. So alas and unfortunately, all problems remain unsolved. Nay, they not only remain unsolved, they worsen. The sheer number of crushing and seemingly intractable problems facing the USA today should be a big ole hint that blaming others does not really solve any of your problems in the long run.

Come on, folks! We can do better than this! We know what solves problems! Creativity solves problems. Discussion, dialogue, the ability to respect opposing views simultaneously, the willingness to work with others, honestly acknowledging when something doesn't work and then trying something else... all these things solve problems. And obeying the Golden Rule solves problems: Do unto others what you would have others do unto you. We learned this stuff in kindergarten! (And as that book back in the 90s said, it probably is all we need to know.)

But constantly creating enemies out of our fellow countrymen and women-creating enemies out of anyone, anywhere-does not solve problems. Never has, never will. Creating enemies creates problems.

I know, this is tough stuff. I long for the enemy to be elsewhere as much as the next person. We crave clarity at all costs-black and white, my way or the highway, for me or against me-without realizing that this is medieval thinking and that we no longer happen to live in the Middle Ages. This is the 2000s. We have seen the Earth from the moon. And you know, from up there you really can't tell a Red State from a Blue State.

We have come too far along in history to continue demonizing one another for political and economic gain without experiencing serious repercussions. Just look around. We can't keep pretending that everyone in 'the other party' is a mortal enemy or the wicked spawn of Satan, like kids in a schoolyard fight, without going to hell in a hand basket.

How do we want to be remembered by our children? As elders they could be proud of? Or should Tom Brokaw start planning to call his next book, The Stupidest Generation?

Certainty is a mark of spiritual immaturity. Fanaticism is just repressed doubt. Neither has proved to be all that useful in terms of human development. The wise ask questions. And seek answers.

What if cooperation were cool? What if our national heroes were those who got the most done for their country, instead of those who piled up the most money or wielded the most power? What if we started acting like grown-ups?

Is It All Doom and Gloom?

My son, typically, hates listening to the news - he cannot understand why only murder, bombs, terrorism, and economic disaster reach the air waves.

'Why do they not focus on good things that happen?' he has despaired on many an occasion. In this he is not unusual. Children begin their lives, innately optimistic which some sadly lose, over time. There are many adults who share his perspective too. If you think of the recent riots - yes, they were shocking. The wide range of walks of life represented in the rioters - stunning. The coverage was huge, and nothing else appeared to be happening.

So, is the world all doom and gloom? Is every bit of information (apparently 134 million bits of information per second, reduced to a more manageable 112 bits per second by our minds) that we are bombarded with every second of our waking lives - dire disaster?

What is it that you notice in each moment of your day? Do you notice the birds singing, the leaves fluttering in the breeze, the lovely smile that someone had on their face as you walked by, the colour of someone's tie or dress, the sun shining, or that the clouds are particular shapes and colours, or how many people were in a cab as it went by, the cyclist staying fit and getting paid for it, the shape of the bricks in the buildings, their colour, the paving stones you are walking on, whether there are stars in the sky tonight, or what phase the moon is at? etc Or have you walked, driven, or sat and barely noticed anything about where you have been or come from, engrossed in your own thoughts - frequently about something that you cannot affect right now?

When we are so deeply engrossed, and aware of so little around us, we are in an unresourceful trance. At such times, we are often looking down, enwrapped in our emotional thoughts and seeing very little, or perhaps, we are looking to the side - listening to our internal chatter - neither of which are giving us peace or benefit. In that process we have deleted, distorted, and generalised much of the information that is bombarding us - to focus on what we have chosen. So, just as the media chooses to feed us only dire tales, we also choose our own focus, our own subjective 'reality'.

So here is the good news - you can choose to focus differently - if you need to, and choose emotions and thoughts that are helpful to you, and will enhance your effectiveness rather than limit you. I am not talking hypothetically, from the top of my lofty-detached head, but from experience. I have experienced tragic events - and at such times it is hard to see that the sun shines and the clouds are not just a mass of solid, heavy grey. The sky has always fascinated me. I would find myself gazing up at it - I realised that doing so took me out of grief - (looking up actually takes you out of your feelings of despair - truly) and so I learned that I could change my emotional state - that I could be catastrophically despairing, and then find myself distracted and unaware of the grim 'reality' I had, moments before, been lost in. I had, inadvertently discovered that I could manage my emotional state and thoughts. I discovered that I could choose to find the positive aspects when dealing with multiple bereavements, and in the process I got to grips with my emotions.

Since I have studied many types of psychotherapy, life coaching and lastly and most wonderfully - NLP. I discovered that I, unwittingly, had come upon many realisations of neuro linguistic programming. NLP and coaching really do work. They have provided me with an array of tools and techniques to do work that thrills me and enables me to assist others to deal with their thinking and emotional states, and to enhance their effectiveness in any way they wish. NLP and coaching have amazing tools for learning to move forward, and to develop your own resources. Psychotherapies typically keep people focussed on what is past - that is not where any of us are heading. We are all living today, moving to the future, which in time will become our past.

So let us start work right now, taking action to make our present as effective and wonderful as we can, by focusing on what we can do now, and how we can make anything better. Create your goals, and turn your dreams into reality. If we always do the best we can, at any given moment (according to the circumstances of each moment) we can only get better and better. And it is true - life does. So come on, choose to take charge of your life and your world - wake up and choose your reality, and make it the best it can be.

Patience is a virtue

There are times when we need to be patient, but does not automatically mean being a patient is not necessarily a virtue in itself. A virtue is defined in multiple different ways, but in the context of patience, is defined as moral excellence, and sometimes even of the virtues. So is the patience a virtue or not?

In my opinion, but the patient often in contradiction with the idea of being a morally perfect. I'm usually patients (at least wypuklymi) when I'm in the queue or stuck in the traffic jam. But the idea of moral excellence, suggests that I have actually some other options. Sure, in respect of the motion, which I can deadlock could resort to road rage, but who does not do much other than wind me up. The same kind of thing relates to wait in line — it needs patience, if not you are going to bait all others who wait, but that's all.

A lot of cliches like "patience is a virtue" sounds sensible at first meeting so that we may not investigate any further. Anyway, why are we? But if we take the time to members of their then those cliches that often crumble into small pieces.

Despite this patience has different effects depending on the situation.

Sometimes, you just wait. Most often this is the place for things like colds or even broken bones where whatever we can do, we'll recover at the same time. I am not sure if this really is just accepting the patience-that some things take time, sweet, whether it is our results.

Then also often says that someone has the patience of Saint. It is usually used to describe someone who is a patient of the surrounding against all you e as keeping Your calm around someone like Gordon Ramsay when he is having another kitchen somewhere his rants. At least there is something to say about this saying — saints are generally considered a kind and gentle entities.

But the return to the idea that patience a virtue. There are definitely times where patience and moral excellence does not go hand in hand.

There are also times when being patient is plain dumb. Our mind Back to the time they were waiting in line. If you are too patient, then everyone can simply push past you and literally jump the queue. This is not a sensible idea.

And situations where you can follow the moral high ground and everything, what happens is that people use the views and attitudes as an objective. Indeed it may be quite difficult to know that you are morally right, but all other thoughts that you are out and out bad. Other States take this title with patience is not necessarily a good idea.

In total, I'm thinking strongly that patience--at least most of the time-necessary but not a virtue. This is something we should learn from the practice of occasionally together with all other tasks that we will carry out to help us make a positive contribution to society

Change your attitude and change your life-Power positive intentions

"The problems are not the stop signs, they shall be Guide."-Robert h. Schuller

True! Often we tend to look more at the negativesrather than its optimistic changes. Change is inevitable Life to everyone and everything. And we must accept that sportingly-is a good or otherwise. As in personal life so at work, change comes from uncertainty and abruptness. But one should not be rigid about it, rather be flexible to accept changes to do in heart. In fact, the power can help a person become titration emerge with the most distressful situation. The key to surviving against all odds in life is change with a smile. That is why the positive intentions are always considered as an essential factor for the development of any organization. When the employees also contributing with their suggestions and ideas for the company, we are going through a rough time, the company can easily reverse gear on his behalf.

For all the companies going out by a change in a positive atmosphere is desirable in the workplace. Employees must show resistance in such situations. Changing attitudes-to think good and good, or even in unfavorable situations, allows an individual to appear as a true champion! Check the following points, which are necessary to do in life.

1. do not dwell in the past: without a doubt, our present is built in the past, but our future depends on our current activities! So do not dwell too much in the past. It is better to learn from past mistakes, instead of a smiley on the achievements of the past. The true Champions are never fulfilled. It always looks perfect themselves. Learning from past mistakes and not repeat them is certainly the best thing to do.

2. Invite that: "the positive"-we often heard from older, teachers and seniors. It is relevant forever! Nonetheless, there are other positive thinking and acting! When started, think positively no negative amount can affect the user. Whether in personal life, or in the Office, employees too must always try to operate effectively. But cocoa positiveness, one to cultivate positive intentions in a string.

3. participate in the meetings of the speaker's presentation: presentation of the certified motivates people to do. Truly effective motivational sessions would instill confidence to the participants. Besides, it will refresh their thought process, helping them to achieve the potential of positive intentions. Workers are much cast through participation in sessions of the demonstration, led by the famous motivational speakers.

If you're looking for a change your attitude and change your life, the power of positive intentions will guide you through. However, this would sound professional speaker orientation. Certified speaking professional (CSP) is the ideal person would be a mix of laughter and humor of inspirational notes in its sessions helps fulfil internal power!

To maintain positive survivors generates a Curveball

Life is. ..

Hi, Welcome to my thoughts again. "Staying positive," what All we want for our lives. Place in a conscious effort of trying to stay out of the negative thoughts and feelings, as do I, but then again positive and negative is part of life, it is not? In fact, I began to understand that the mind plays a very important role here, we must positively program our minds and remove all the junk. Now how do you do, which is what I was thinking when boom "Be A Sport" kept blinking on my mind. What is a sport to be? As it was connected to dispose of my mental junk? He was confused then flashed Sport Psychology, so search the Internet and realized that the sport psychology is mortally wounded, and several energy efficiency techniques to relax the mind and focus in a positive way.

I then remembered as "the sport" was a popular word for us, whenever someone failed at the task. Now things make sense. In order to stay positive and rid my mind of all the Junk I had to sport in the game called life. I had to stop brooding over spilt milk, clean up the MESS and move. Wow that is so simple, but then again it is? Now I came to the same task from different perspectives. WoO! The boy now I'm confused, irritated and interesting ce positive, so I decided to start from only where I was. I stepped out sporting activities. To continue surfing the Internet I realised that what he was searching for was difficult, after all, actually I loved what I was reading was fun.

Everything I need to do to clear the MESS and delete isolated junk was first, relax. Relaxation comes with the practice of meditation, which also got me more centered, focus and confidence. However, there was and meditating like a monk, the very 1st day it took me a few weeks, but took me good and I ensure that I found time to meditation. Initially, I used to find a strange concept of meditation. I mean, you know, you can simply wait still an hour or so, and you are the erstwhile. Believe me, it gets rid of meditation helps to concentrate stress, helps maintain positive regardless of how i can help you enjoy life.

Now relaxing was 1st thing I decided to do to clear the junk, so what other things? Frankly I don't know, it was not all I did other things from that day on he still believes that i connect with my inner self. Meditation or automatically all the things that had to be done. So all the beautiful people to get rid of your messy you live start meditating and persistently, fervently do not give up, you will see miracles. In fact, will not be considered on its own, can be positive, this check box means that life will have heaven on Earth.

Meditation has helped me and hope that you can try it too. Don't waste your time with stress and anxiety of living life ... are wonderful and shapes.

Are you ready to choose a positive mental attitude towards amendments

Here's what you can expect from negative thinkers:

"Don't waste your time. Never change. "
"I'm sorry; That's way, always, and that is how I 'm. What you see is what you get! "
"Don't you teach an old dog new tricks."

Note, these are absolute, not relative, observations. This is a clear one that () does not believe in the case of a change or (b) does not have to contemplate the perspective changes-many reasons, some clear and some barely tolerable.

On the other hand the possibility thinkers look after the change as a threat, but as a basis for hope! If there is no possibility of change, there is no hope for improvement! Certainly reluctance to have a positive attitude towards change is more binding, his subconscious defense mechanism of insecure person who often perceive themselves as victims of change. Internally a safe person who sees himself as the creator of the developments that require planning and preparation before tomorrow comes! A Grand collection of positive attitudes this positive attitude to progress is the most fundamental.

Number one job is to make sure that you are a thinker possibilities! I do not expect a pep talk to the task. Banking on the motivational rally not (mine or anyone else 's)! Significant effort can indeed offer a positive tone, and stricter majoring even prepare mental soil to get you going. However, for results of anything solid and durable, less than psychological human personality restructuring must take place.

A positive attitude to change also requires humility. Only the person self-assured dares for the humble. Demand for humility, which we may be willing to admit that we do not know all the answers and some of our answers are wrong. Of course, the various proposals that we are dealing with will instantly be evaluated "hopelessly impossible" based on knowledge available at the time. But the thinker can assume that if the proposal is in itself the seeds of creativity, then blamed sincere attention and reliable research. Notice how the thoughts of the philosopher and opportunities in a relative rather than absolute? Notice how there is a basic desire to alter the conclusions shall be based on the assumption that the person has programmed some errors, falsehood and inaccuracies?

You will never know how many people have failed because they were programmed with errors. Besides, they never questioned their own flawed and interrupted the opinion, some needed to be changed, updated, revised or rejected!

Breaking free from the prison of DEPRESSION

I'm an enemy of depression. I want to find a way to any person who battles depression find victory over it.

The debate continues: decreases the performance of negative thinking or negative thinking degrade?

It is one of the worst things about depression, how people from other isolates. And it is a vicious circle ... the more isolated, you can get more depressed, displayed, and then you can get more isolated, you'll receive more depression.

I am the spokesman for the meds for depression. A lot of depression is the result of a chemical imbalance in the brain and body. There is nothing about printing meds for depression, which can be construed as a lack of faith in God, unless you want to place them in the same lack of faith, to meet the needs of the famine, well! I think that could speak better in this way: take meds for depression is more evidence of a lack of belief in a God than eating live can be thought of as evidence of a lack of faith!

There are several methods that can help you, in addition to medicines. Exercise is a great way to improve our attitude. So adding more light, where we can work or rest or play. Saintpaulia full spectrum is very helpful.

Getting our minds are actively focused on things, challenge and creative is also therapeutic. It can be difficult, staying with the projects due to the depression, but, in the store, pushing ... Go a little longer each time. Don't give up. Don't judge yourself. Fight battle of imbalance of the mind and body. so fight!

And pray. Ask God to give you peace. Tell him in detail about what is troubling you. And give it to him.

Find something to laugh about. BELIEVE. CONVINCED that God has better plans for you. Does.

Regardless of the true Honor, fair, clean, Lovely, accolades, excellent and Worthy of Praise, think on these things. 4.8 the Philippians

Back to the question: is negative thinking degrade or decreases the performance of negative thoughts? It is not easy, but it is true, the depression did not leave you. You can leave the depression! In what way? Combination: drugs (legally designated used corresponds to an allopathic directions), exercise, focused on positive, focused on the other, make small victories, find a reason to laugh and most important: pray.

We believe in God, because he believes in you. Whatever you do will cause God to love you more or less. For God loves with everlasting love consistency, regardless of what.

If you keep thinking about yourself, will remain depressed. Go beyond this mental prison, one brick at a time.

Your Self-Think

Why is it when you want to do something new or different have a tendency to sabotage it and yourself? You know this voice in your head, which kills motivation. The one who convinces that won't do what you set out to do.

Instead of falling victim to that of the voice call, how can you transform the negative thoughts into positive and neutral mean? These new ideas will be collected and are encouraged to believe in what is possible.

Take out a pen and a piece of paper and make three columns on it. Now, think of something you have wanted to do for a long time, but become in his own way and had allot of negative self-think. In the first column, save what negative think Auto's telling you. Perhaps it's telling You that you do not have enough money, enough time or enough talent. In the next column, note this may sound like it would be if your self-think wording was very positive and encouraging, over the top. In the third column write down which would also sound as if the tone was more neutral in nature. Sometimes makes us feel neutral as is natural.

You can use this technique, not only with the decisions you make, but also in the situations you may encounter. For example; Let's say you're in the car and the traffic is just terrible. Up the miles, and you have no way of knowing when to reach the axis to your destination. Thoughts the first may sound like "I can't believe it, and people are so stupid, why the police cannot handle traffic better it off me. Late on the important meeting and My whole day is to be generated. " Its second thought (extremely positive) may also sound like, "Man, this is a backup, I sure hope no one hurt as far in advance. I know I will create my meeting, but I pop in my books on tape and to gain something from that time, because it builds your skills ' thought (neutral) third may sound like "I sure hope no one is hurt forward. Looks like it will not be put to the meeting. Just call and see if I can Conference. "

Remember to use the three columns, when you configure yourself to this internal dialog. You can choose the thoughts that come to mind. You can also select, action, or lack of action to take based on the self, it seems that you can listen to it.

You've first bad impression?

You ever met someone new at a dinner networking functionality, transportable or other exposed to transgender events, and they immediately rubbed you the wrong way? Something they did or said or talked or acted, so really will be disabled? Of course we have this experience.

Now let me ask you, do you think the person knew truly their negative vibe in time? Probably not right? They would probably not try to deliberately frustrated You, right? So do not tell then about their poor first impression, then they may never know how they come and may even think that they have a good impression from you! They may be a little confusing to the next, you will see Why the program is running in the opposite direction!

My next question is-can this be you? Whether it is possible to inadvertently gave undue negative first impression of the new colleague, a friend of a friend, or even on a date? Make sure that it is. Now what can I do?

Here are some quick steps to take to recover from a bad first impression, on the understanding that have been made about his existence afterwards.

1-Rational evaluation feedback. Who told you his first impression was negative? It was the principle of a person, friend or observer? Before you condemn yourself, consider the source. However, if you trust the source, or derived from the mouth of the own rules, then it is time to move on to step two.

2-Self-allows users. Ask yourself what you can try to make the impression of forming what went wrong? It was a misunderstanding? You must do the same with other people as well? Is it time to stop, co this annoying behavior of the defence and accepted that it needs to be changed? Write down the things clear and focused.

3-contact. Send an e-mail message or if you're brave enough, call or meeting face-to-face with his victim of accidental. Acknowledge their special vulnerability or quirk and explain that this is not usually how to act, or at least clarified that there is more than just what they Saw this evening and would like to show their actual second possibility. You are not apologizing for his personality, but you can let someone know that you are aware of your bad first impression and show more rounded personality, instead, only what appeared at the first meeting. Most people can be really grateful for the courage, and humbleness, it takes to do this.

4-Modify. Would dominate conversation last time? Well, next time take a break, some questions and listen. They were so shy and quiet last time that a person domyslalem were bored or unloading? Then the next time the user must be involved to make lots of eye contact, use the ability to actively listen and Show enthusiasm. If the last sound you meeting someone calls? Well, but time to lighten up, to keep the General topics now and give the person time to open. I suggest not, act completely perverse, but try to modify and take the right steps in the direction of more sustainable. This will improve conversational dynamics.

5-Try the best. Further attempts to realise his own first impressions, and modify, where appropriate. But also accept the fact that not everyone will like you or get together with you, there are various personalities there. The point is that people not to love you, but at least you should feel comfortable with you at the first meeting.

After completing the self-assessment, if you feel that you need to improve its "art of small talk and winning first impressions", you may want to contact the Manager of secure communications.
