The Vibrational Universe

Your beliefs establish your creative range. In other words, your beliefs establish the parameters of what you can have. Joe is a person who does not believe himself capable of having money, so the lower range of his possible manifestation will be, I can make enough to survive and the top of his range might be, I always have enough to pay the bills, with a little left over. If you are like Ted Turner, however, you may consider it your God given right to have a few billion dollars. Mr. Turners range of possible manifestation is orders of magnitude greater than Joes.

It is impossible to create and manifest beyond the boundaries of your beliefs. This is one of the most important principles in the Universal Operating System (see the book The Vibrational Universe for details).

Your beliefs are established by the broad, general (but powerful) decisions you make about yourself. I am fun loving. I am intelligent. I am a loving person. I am poor and Ill always be poor. These sorts of powerful I AM statements establish states of being. A state of being is a decision about what (or how) to BE. States of being are vitally important, for from them proceed your beliefs, thoughts and attitudes about yourself, others, and life itself.

Once you have established a state of being about anything, you begin to flesh them out, to become more specific. Here is where the role of thoughts come in. Thoughts establish the specifics of your desires.

A desire comes forth quickly from a state of being. The decision, I am fun loving will lead to many desires. I like to make people laugh. I like to make up and learn new jokes. I want to write them down so I dont forget. Now I have a routine I can perform to make others laugh. I would like to be a professional comedian. Etc. The list is probably endless!

Your thoughts determine the precise nature of what you will eventually manifest. Ill get a job at the Improv, even if I have to be a janitor. Ill listen every night to the performers and learn how to perform a comedy routine. Ill get an agent and a publicist and tour the comedy circuit. Etc. If your thoughts are lined up with your desires, then your life experiences will be a match to your desires. If they are not, you will experience something different. I want to be a comedian but I dont think Im funny enough. I cant make enough money being a comedian. Etc. These thoughts are not a match to your desire, and in fact are selflimiting, causing you to feel negative emotion and fail to take the actions that will guarantee law of success. These thoughts also shut off the flow of life force energy and cause blockages and distortions in your human energy field.

If you do not determine precisely what you want, then what you manifest will be fuzzy as well. I want a car, is a lot different than, I want a silver Toyota Camry with a blue interior and a CD player. The former might lead to manifestation of an old junker!

Your emotions and feelings are a perfect mirror to what you think and what you believe. Your feelings tell you whether you are, in this moment, treading the correct path which will lead to the manifestation of your desires. Your emotions tell you whether you are aligning properly to the goals you have set for yourself.

You are ALWAYS creating something, because you are always thinking and doing. It is absolutely vital to understand the powerful role of thought not only in the creative process, but in life. Many people do not realize that life itself is a creative process! They do not realize that the universe and everything in it is continually responding to them, but it is! The only way to prove that to yourself is to become more aware of what you're thinking and how that relates to your actions and the manifestations you receive. Once you become aware of that connection, you will experience a quantum leap in self confidence and personal power.

Make the Law of Attraction Really Work
Law of Attraction the most powerful law in the universe

Improving The Safety Of Your Home For Elderly Loved Ones

Everybody get old; its a simple fact of life that can be hard to face. The truth is that muscles and bones get weaker and the home can slowly become a dangerous place. However, making some minor modifications to keep your loved ones safe is a very easy process.

Improving safety indoors

You cant always prevent falls, but there are many things that you can do to help prevent them. Here are a few ideas:

Clear floors of clutter The majority of falls come from having a messy house. Be sure to keep all floors clear. The less of a struggle is it to move around the home, the less chance of falling. Make sure things are within reach, as well.

Well lit rooms Just as important as important as having clear floors, make sure things are lit well enough so you can see that the floors are clear. Keep plenty of flashlights around for blackouts, too.

Safety railings Grab bars and safety railings can be installed all around the house. Be sure to fix them to the bathtub and next to the toilet. Bed railings can also help keep your loved ones from falling out of bed at night.

Non-Slip mats Place non-slip mats underneath rugs and be sure to use them in the bathtub and on stairs.

Improving safety outdoors

Being safe outdoors is just as important as being safe in your home, but theres not as much you can do to prevent danger. Make sure you assist your loved one by holding their arm when walking. If any roads or sidewalks become wet or icy, be sure to salt or sand them. Using a cane for any uneven ground is also advised.

What to do if they do fall

Not all falls can be prevented, accidents happen. When they do, the first thing you should do is not panic. If you panic, youll cause your loved one to panic as well. If theyre not able to get up, cover them with a blanket until help arrives.

Overall, you cant prevent every fall, accident, or slip. You can, however, prevent the majority of them. The home is the place your loved ones will probably spend the most time in, so its the first place you should start.

Personal Growth - Why It Is Important

Why are personal growth and self-improvement important, not just to certain individuals who are committed to growing, but to everyone? It is a question that needs to be asked and answered. Sure, it will make a pleasing little article to read, but more importantly, the answer affects our entire planet.

When we are beset all around us with violence, hatred, prejudice, and illness, it is critical to examine why this is so. It is even more crucial to do something about it.

Now, it is impossible to change the world, or even to change a few others. Have you ever tried to change your spouse or your child? Has it worked? No, of course it hasnt. It is certainly a lesson in frustration for anyone who has attempted it.

However, we CAN change ourselves and in so doing affect the rest of the world. Dont believe it? There is actual proof that this is true. The proof comes from a scientific body of study called Quantum Physics, and the Law of Attraction, which is outlined in the recent hit movie The Secret. The Law of Attraction works whether you know about it or not, so you might as well use it to make your life better.

Quantum physics laws have proven that everything is made of energy. EVERYTHING. Therefore, even your thoughts and desires are energy, i.e. non-physical realities that have not yet manifested in the physical realm.

What that means is that whatever you focus your thoughts on creates your reality. Well, this is good news and bad news. The bad news is that when you think about what you dont want or are afraid of or dislike, you create more of that in your life. The good news is that if you focus on what you do want, it comes to you in abundance!

Like attracts like. You have heard this before, I am certain. In other words, your thought energy attracts similar energy. If your thoughts are positive and happy, then they attract others who are positive and happy. Either those around you who are not happy and successful will go away or they will shift to a more positive energy.

I am sure we have all experienced this. If you are around happy people who are moving forward in their lives, you tend to feel happier and more content too. They are fun and easy to be around.

Conversely, if your thoughts are negative, filled with anger or fears, then you will attract more of the same in your life. You will even affect people around you to be more negative or fearful. Have you ever experienced being in the company of someone who was constantly complaining or criticizing everyone and everything? How did it make you feel? Not very good I am sure.

Obviously, for our entire planet to be more positive and healthy, more individuals need to raise their own vibration to positive, abundant, healing levels. If we do not make this an important focus in our lives, then our world will not improve and will continue with the crises and issues that overflow our news reports every day.

I know I, for one, want to live in a world that is healthy, abundant in every way, and surrounded by like-minded people. We all deserve this and need to be responsible for our energy and the way we influence others. That is why personal growth should be a priority in everyones life, not tomorrow or next month, but right now.

Characteristics of a Good Leader

Its interesting to hear the responses from executives when I ask them, What are the characteristics of a good Leader?

If I ask that question in a large room of executives, or even upper level managers the answers will be all over the map, and many are conflicting.

A couple of the usual answers are:

A leader is someone that empowers those working for him to make their own decisions.

A leader is someone who gives clear, direct orders, a take charge person that commands his employees.

The first implies that we let the employees make up their own minds what to do, and how to get the end result. The second implies that wed better be somewhat of a micromanager and tell everyone exactly what to do and how to do it.

Arent those somewhat conflicting?

After we have built a huge list, and almost always the RIGHT answer isnt there, Ill point out to them they have put several conflicting statements up there.

So, If you had to narrow it down to just one thing that defines a really good leader, what would it be?

Out of all the years Ive asked that question of executives, I believe only one time has someone even come close to the answer. The answer is A leader gets results. I believe that the reason there were so many conflicting characteristics is that most of what we put up there was situational. A good leader always knows when to use whatever tool according to the situation to get the results that are needed.

Too many are stuck in one mode or the other because that is the right way to do it, such as empowering employees. Ill admit that is usually the best way, but there are employees that need a nudge once in a while, that perform well when given step-by-step directions instead of guidelines.

Too many are focused on activities, and then get frustrated because they dont get results.

A good leader knows how to find the right tool, when to use it, and always delivers results.

Myths As Depictions

Differentiation - The Key To People Remembering You And Your Game

What exactly are you selling? What is your product or service? How do you differentiate yourself from everyone else? Are you really interested in being at the top of your game? Strange question isnt it? You might here people say, I am in the tradeshow labor business, so I sell labor, or I am in the office supply business, so I sell office supplies, or I am in the coaching business, so I sell coaching. But what is it that you really sell? Why would I buy from you, there are many people out there selling the same product. You are just the same; I might as well stay with who I have.

I used to be in the contract labor business for the tradeshow industry. So I sold labor right? Wrong what I sold was peace of mind. What I sold was the comfort that the customer would have by using us for his/her labor needs. The feeling that he/she would have no concerns over getting the work done, because we were that good. That is what I was selling, and once I defined it that way, I totally differentiated our company from all the rest and we became a leader in the industry. While my competition would try and sell you labor to put your booth up, I would be selling you the belief that all your problems were my problems and I would take care of them. That you could be totally confident that your job would not just get done, but get done very well. We even took it further by going outside our areas and helping you in any situation you needed help. Now, instead of worrying about your booth going up and everything coming together, you could relax, enjoy the process, and know your boss would think you did a great job. How about you, what business are you in? How are you differentiating yourself from the competition? What are you selling?

Let us look at a few more examples to help you see what we are talking about. Let us share some success stories about different businesses and what happens when you are not like the rest.

I have a friend that sells office supplies. Wrong he does not sell office supplies what he sells is convenience. What you might ask does that mean? Simply, that I could go and buy my office supplies at Staples, or Office Max, or online at a variety of vendors. They all have a price break; they all have the same products. So why do I buy from this vendor? Because if I need something quick, I can pick up the phone, call him or send him an email and he will have it to me the next day. What is that worth? If I am online ordering and have a problem I can call him direct and get the answer I need, get the help I need. What is that worth? What is he selling? Anyone can sell office supplies, I can buy them from any vendor, but I can only buy this super service from this vendor that is what differentiates him.

My own product is coaching business owners and professionals. Or is it? What is my real product? My real product is success beyond what you think you can achieve. So when I speak with a prospect, I am not trying to get them to buy coaching, what I am trying to get them to buy into is taking their business and life to new levels of success. The beliefs that if they work with me, their business will grow to the place they want. So my product is success. Anyone can sell you coaching, what I sell you is building a very successful business and life exceeding your expectations.

Point is that if you differentiate your product/service, you need to make sure people remember who you are. You can take two sales people sitting in office right next to each other. One makes $25,000 a year, the other $250,000 a year. Why? Maybe because one is selling insurance and the other is selling assurance.

I now want you to look at your business and answer these questions.

1. What is it that your customers buy from you? Have you ask them? Ask.
2. Your top 10 customers why do they buy from you? Ask them.
3. How do you present your product to new prospects?
4. How could you better present it and close more business?
Go out and differentiate your product. You can make it so unique, that no one else is selling what you have, but everyone wants to buy what you are selling.

How To Get What You Want

Having magnetic appeal and charisma is that special something which allows you to walk into a room and instantly draw attention to yourself. It is a feeling of self-confidence which attracts people and money to you in spades.

The person with Charisma commands respect and radiates power everywhere they go. It isn't something they have to do or say. It's kind of an inner glow which radiates outward and makes people feel at ease in their presence.

People who have Charisma get everything they want in life There is no shortage of admirers who just want to help them get to where they want to go.

Charisma makes you irresistible.

It is not something which only some can have. It is lying latent in all of us and can be developed.

It's just a matter of getting in touch with itof activating it.

Charisma can make you a master salesperson. It can make you influential.

One of the benefits of tapping into this "source" is that ability to connect with people. The ability to have instant rapport with someone.

Another is the ability to "float" through life. Not expending energy unnecessarily.

Elvis had it. James Bond had it. Princess Diana and Mother Teresa had it.

There are people in all walks of life that have that confidencethat optimism.

Your DNA has little to do with Charisma. It seems to be more of a learned trait than anything else.

One way of capturing this sometimes illusive ability is to emulate someone who has "it". Everybody knows someone who is popular, loves life and seems to get everything they want easily.

When you are in their company, notice how they draw glanceshow they interact easily with others. How they conduct themselves with dignity.

See yourself being and acting as they do. Incorporate the feeling that comes with living life with ease and grace.

Take deeper breaths and draw out your inner voice. It'll be more powerful and enthusiastic...

Look on the bright side of everything Relax more than you ever have. See yourself as being successful in every way.

Be the new you. See it. Feel it. Be it.

7 Ways To Make a Great First Impression

When you have an important event to attend there are 7 great ways to make sure you perform at your very best. These tips are relevant for social events and business meetings. Discover how to communicate with confidence while making great conversation.

1. Decide what you want to say before the event. Review it in your mind to make sure it sounds okay. Keep rehearsing it until you can say it with conviction and confidence.

2. Consider your potential listeners. Who will you be talking to and which topics of conversation will be welcome? You need to make sure your message matches your audience.

3. Be yourself. The worst mistake is to pretend you are something you are not. People will see through you and distrust everything you say. Even if you communicate clearly and with confidence.

4. Never expect things to work out perfectly. Be ready to deal with problems by deciding in advance what you will do. What will you do if people ignore your input? Now is the time to decide and not later on in the heat of the moment.

5. Be flexible in your approach. Different people need to be treated differently. Pay very close attention to how people respond to what you say and keep adjusting your approach until you have a good rapport with your listener.

6. Make the other person the focus of your attention and let him lead the conversation in the early stages. Let that person steer the conversation onto topics that are of interest to him.

7. Anticipate what could go wrong. Then do what you can to make sure those scenarios do not occur. Adequate planning is the key to performing at your best in the moment.

Is This All There Is

When we hit middle age or thereabouts, it's not unusual to begin asking questions such as, "Is this it?"

Before that, we are busy with kids, careers, and all the things that, as we become older, begin slipping through our fingers like water - without our even realizing it at times.

Whatever we are doing, or have done, is only temporary, and this takes a while to sink in. Even the money we have accumulated only buys so many vacations, cruises, or second and third homes; and pretty soon we find ourselves saying, "been there done that" way too many times.

For questions such as, "Is this it?" to come up, something has to slow us down. As long as we can maintain our busyness, these kinds of questions may never come up. "Keep your mind busy, honey," (your grandmother might say), "A busy mind is a happy mind!" Good advice. Because once you begin to question things, busyness doesn't help so much - best to hold off these kinds of questions if you can, (unless you have guts!)

But try as we might, sure as heck something usually happens to wake us up, if we're fortunate, and it usually isn't pretty - usually traumatic actually. Nothing like a little financial disaster, serious illness, or losing something or someone that's very close, to alter our glass-half-full outlook on life!

Of course, the kneejerk reaction to coming face-to-face with these deep questions is to root out some answers from someone else in some book somewhere, or on the web - too much time and trouble to find the answers ourselves! This is a fatal error, simply because the process of the search, and the white beads that you will sweat in finding your own answers, is the only place where true answers can be found.

These questions actually may never come up for people who know everything, or think that they do. If all of their questions have been answered ahead of time by their beliefs, or their philosophy, or their leader, no further inquiry is required . . . and then they are as good as dead! A philosophy or religion will never answer these deep, heartfelt questions.

When the questions come up for them, they can convince themselves that they already have the answers, and then they don't have to look! But they don't have the answers; they have someone else's answers that they have only accepted as truth. They don't have the courage to look for themselves, because looking at these things tears down everything that they have ever believed in the past.

Until we investigate ourselves, we will never experience that hot forge that tempers the true seeker. Without heat, we have only the answers of someone else; an escape, and therefore no fundamental change is made within. We remain a perpetual work in progress, where we continue barking, like hungry dogs, up the same ol' worldly trees, while espousing platitudes of divinity!

If, however, we are fortunate to have something awaken us from all of this; then we can expect the questions to really get dicey quicker than a New York minute, culminating in the classic one, "What am I?"

And only after this question comes up in our hearts do we realize the immensity of our inquiry, and that in time, only a true reversal of how we have been living can take us to our answer.

Nothing like a little financial disaster, serious illness, or losing something or someone that's very close, to alter our glass-half-full outlook on life!

Of course, the kneejerk reaction to coming face-to-face with these deep questions is to root out some answers from someone else in some book somewhere, or on the web - too much time and trouble to find the answers ourselves! This is a fatal error, simply because the process of the search, and the white beads that you will sweat in finding your own answers, is the only place where true answers can be found.

These questions actually may never come up for people who know everything, or think that they do. If all of their questions have been answered ahead of time by their beliefs, or their philosophy, or their leader, no further inquiry is required . . . and then they are as good as dead! A philosophy or religion will never answer these deep, heartfelt questions.

When the questions come up for them, they can convince themselves that they already have the answers, and then they don't have to look! But they don't have the answers; they have someone else's answers that they have only accepted as truth. They don't have the courage to look for themselves, because looking at these things tears down everything that they have ever believed in the past.

Until we investigate ourselves, we will never experience that hot forge that tempers the true seeker. Without heat, we have only the answers of someone else; an escape, and therefore no fundamental change is made within. We remain a perpetual work in progress, where we continue barking, like hungry dogs, up the same ol' worldly trees, while espousing platitudes of divinity!

If, however, we are fortunate to have something awaken us from all of this; then we can expect the questions to really get dicey quicker than a New York minute, culminating in the classic one, "What am I?"

And only after this question comes up in our hearts do we realize the immensity of our inquiry, and that in time, only a true reversal of how we have been living can take us to our answer.

Dealing with Difficult People: 27 Secrets & Strategies You Can Apply Today

No one can get your goat if they dont know where its tied up.
Zig Ziglar

1.Listen more effectively. Listening is the number one tool in communication, especially when dealing with difficult people.

2.Step back and analyze the situation from an outside perspective. When we are less emotionally involved and "cool our jets," the answers come for how to effectively deal with them. Whether dealing with a difficult boss, dealing with a difficult co-worker, or spouse.

3.Ignoring often doesnt work. The tension becomes so thick you can cut it with a knife.

4.Choose your battles. There are times when you have to let it go. Know when to speak up and when to pick your battles.

5.Criticize in person, praise in public. Never publicly criticize someone as you will look like the bad guy and the difficult person will only become more upset.

6.Maintain respect for them even if you disagree or dislike them. At least acknowledge what they say. Think about how you would want to be treated.

7.Seek first to understand then to be understood.

8.People often wont care what you think unless they think you care. At least attempt to see it from their perspective.

9.Maintain high expectations and standards if you are managing this employee. If you dont do this you will be seen as enabling their unacceptable behavior.

10.Strive for greater communication. Often, its not that there isnt enough communication, its that its bad communication. Work on improving your conflict resolution skills. If you are a manager, consider training everyone in conflict resolution skills. One of the main reasons teams fail is because some of the people on the team don't like each other, or aren't skilled in how to handle conflict effectively.

11.Invest in communication skills courses and conflict resolution skills courses to improve the part you can control you.

12.Dont lose emotional control. Antagonists and passive-aggressives will often try to push your buttons.

13.Avoid being around difficult people when theyre in a bad mood. If theyre always in a bad mood, try being around them when they are in a better mood!

14.Accept, change or reject. Know that ultimately you only have three choices. 1) Accept the situation knowing it wont change. 2) Attempt to change your relationship with them by changing how you react. 3) If its really affecting your well being, it may be time to reject the situation and move on.

15.No buts allowed! Dont follow giving them positive reinforcement with, But on the other hand The word but only negates everything positive you just said.

16.Non-verbally position yourself at their eye level. For example, if they are sitting when you talk with them, sit. If they are standing, stand. Converse at their level.

17.Avoid the word need when possible and use want instead. Saying politely and tactfully, John, I want to have the project in to me by noon so that we'll meet our deadline. "Want" is more assertive as long as it's in the right tone.

18.Watch your tone of voice. Avoid an autocratic or sarcastic tone. The Latin root of the word sarcasm is "sarco" meaning tearing of the flesh!

19.In face-to-face communication, words account for only 7% of what people notice and believe about you. Tone is 38% and body language 55%. So a full 93% is tone and body language.

20.Give sincere positive reinforcement when they do something well. Show genuine appreciation. Often difficult people are difficult because they feel unappreciated.

21.Avoid absolutes such as, You always and You never. It puts people further on the defensive.

22.Dont take it personally. Often theyre difficult because of something going on with them.

23.Watch your mental state. Dont let them drag you down. A little of that can be normal but dont allow it to go on.

24.Remember the person who constantly angers you, or constantly intimidates you, controls you.

25.Mutually agree to move on. Agree to disagree. If this isnt possible, at least move on in your own mind.

26.Attempt to understand whats driving that difficult behavior. Get at the root cause, even if you only try to figure it out in your own mind.

27.E + R = 0. Event + Reaction = Outcome. You cant control the event, but you can control the outcome based on how you react or respond. Be careful how you respond.

For example, theres the story of the couple who were divorcing. A neighbor said to the wife, "Do you think youd ever get back together? She replied, "No, because we have said things to each other that are so horrible, that even after apologizing they could never be taken back. There's no way we'd get back together."

The moral of the storybe careful what you say. Once those words are out, they're hard to take back.

The disease of me often results in the defeat of us.

Successful Workshops

Speak of workshops and people generally perk up with interest. It could be a workshop about gaining confidence. Or it could be about being able to find romance. Workshops are big business these days. So, learning how to attract your audience is the first thing you will need to learn if you are to run a successful workshop.

My art workshops are generally smaller than most workshops you might be imagining. I am not talking about the kinds of audiences that Anthony Robbins and Jack Canfield normally motivate in speaking engagements. But, once in awhile you might see one of these high powered speakers speaking to a group of people the size of one of my normal workshops. A small group of twenty to thirty is about the size you should be expecting as you are just starting out giving workshops.

In a group of this size, you can attract your audience in several ways. Some ideas come from the many talk shows that have paved the way. Other ideas are products of just plain good business. So, its a good thing to try them all.

Have a Controversial Topic

When you run a workshop, controversial topics arent hard to find. Most workshops have controversial issues connected to them anyway. Doing a workshop about gaining confidence has inherent controversial issues. People who have no clue what they are talking about are always attracting all the attention. The people who are the most boring are always the ones with the most information. Those are controversial even though they arent necessarily on a social or political scale.

Coming up with a controversial issue for my own art workshops is as easy as talking about the board of education. With art slowly being cut from the education curriculum, all I have to pitch is the fact that art benefits the kids and their educations. I can raise some great attention just simply putting the news out about the benefits of art and how it is being cut from the schools.

Give Your Audience a Question

Believe it or not, questions are enticing. Especially if you ask an open ended question and you dont give an answer. Scores of people will come to either find out the answer or to give it. Youve just created an issue. It might be your controversial one too. If its a good enough question, youll definitely generate an audience ready to listen. What was the question for the art workshop? Simple.

If you could help improve your childs grades, would you?

Who wouldnt?

Give Something Away

One of the tactics that attract people is when you give something away. Not everyone can be like Oprah and give a car to every member in her audience. But, you can always afford to give something away. Think about the services you provide, not the products you sell. Give time, no money. In my art workshops, I could give members of my audience a free workshop. I could have a system for choosing that would make audience members want to keep coming back to my workshop in hopes that I eventually give them a free workshop.

Think about the services you provide and try to find a give-away in that. You just have to be creative. Make it interesting enough to want and youll have audience members.

This is just the beginning of the system. You have to pull them in and keep them there. You have to keep them coming back in order to make your workshop endeavors a six-figure income enterprise. Workshops can easily be six-figure enterprises, art workshops are.

An internationally known artist as well as a mother of six, Rivky Shimon founded Rivkys Art Workshop in Brooklyn, New York. Rivkys step-by-step method for teaching children how to create and enjoy art has earned high praise from students, teachers and parents alike. Through her new training series, Rivky plans to teach artists from across the country how to duplicate her success. Not only to ensure that art education remains a vital part of every childs life, but also to enforce the reality that "The Rivky Method" tm works the same magic for adults as well.

Recharging Motivation

Discouragement can block motivation because it's difficult to see a reason to put energy into a project or interest when you feel fairly hopeless. When it's gone, how do you get the drive back? When the juice just isn't there, how do you become regenerated to your purpose?

Sometimes there are interests you may try, but a lack of passion leaves your heart uninvolved. In that case, do you really need that particular activity? Maybe you had an interest in sewing your own clothes a couple of years ago and now you have all of these unfinished projects just laying around. If there really is no interest in sewing, you have to ask yourself what will not hold your interest and be more energizing and fulfilling for you. Maybe sewing just isn't your thing.

You really do not have to continue chastising yourself for unfinished things if it truly holds no joy at this point. Some of us grew up with the idea pounded into our heads that you always finish what you start. Does that even almost make sense? If you're so full at the dinner table that one more bite would be a disaster, then you simply don't finish. Sometimes there are situations that you are obligated to complete because of a prior commitment. This could be work related or family situation, or a promise to a friend. In those cases, it may be helpful to try to visualize what gave you the motivation when you started the project. Maybe it's career goals, family loyalty or a desire to help a friend. Let the memory of that renew your motivation. You will bring satisfaction to another person and be rewarded by the feeling you get when you keep a promise.

It's not always easy to imagine the future, but try to imagine what you hope the outcome will be once you have reached your goal. At one point there was a spark when you began that project. You have to look inside and find that spark again. Sometimes when a project seems particularly grueling, this will cause doubt and worry. It is possible to get past what seems to be the most difficult parts and look once more with a fresh perspective.

If you run into a problem at work that saps your motivation, try enlisting the aide of a supervisor or co-worker about that particular snag. Try your local home improvement store if you have a prickly home project. Of course, there is always my favorite, the Internet. There are more newsgroups and support forums than you can shake a stick at and they are great places to exchange ideas. You could receive feedback that will help you get past the sticky point in your project. These few simple things could be some of the tools you could use to recharge your motivation.

Audio-Hypnosis - Is It Safe?

Should I be Afraid of Hypnosis?

Have you ever been so involved with a task where you have lost track of time?

Have you ever been driving on a long trip and suddenly realized that you were thinking of something else for the previous 30 minutes?

Have you ever been engaged in exercise and zoned out for a period of time, not remembering what happened in the interval?

If so, you experienced hypnosis.

Hypnosis is a pleasant, natural state of physical and mental relaxation which is naturally experienced on a daily basis by everyone.

Science simply cannot agree on what it is and how it works, although as The British Society of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis states: "Hypnosis usually involves the person experiencing a sense of deep relaxation with their attention narrowed down, and focused on appropriate suggestions made by the hypnotist.

A good technical definition of hypnosis is: A state of relaxation and concentration at one with a heightened awareness induced by suggestion.

A good working definition of hypnosis may be this: a direct message line to your subconscious.

Relaxation

Hypnosis has been described in literature as a state of deep relaxation. Yet, modern scientific research has proven that hypnotic trance is not merely a state of relaxation. Sophisticated medical imaging techniques such as Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans reveal distinctly different patterns of brain activity depending on the state of sleep, relaxation, meditation or hypnosis.

The hypnotic experience has the unusual characteristic of combining concentration with relaxation, which allows you to focus on your problem, anxiety or habit while remaining relaxed.

In addition, the skills you will learn for relaxation and hypnosis will benefit you for the rest of your life. This deep relaxation allows your unconscious mind to communicate with your conscious mind.

In this state of relaxation you are more open to suggestions:

• Your confidence soars
• you are oblivious to outside distractions
• You feel no performance anxiety
• Your total body relaxation allows you to move with effortlessness and athletic grace.

A suggestion received under hypnosis relaxation is nine times more powerful and stronger because your subconscious mind is 90% of your mind power.

When you are hypnotized, you feel very calm and relaxed as though nothing else matters but being in this deep peaceful relaxation.

What is meant by hypnotic relaxation is a deliberately directed process that interrupts the circle of mind disturbing body and body disturbing mind syndrome. In the Hypnotic State, the doorway between the conscious and the subconscious is opened, memories become easily accessible, and new information is stored, without conscious filters acting in a judgmental manner.

Health

The World Health Organization says 90% of the general population can be hypnotized. To those people who wonder if they can be hypnotized, the answer is most probably: YES.

Hypnosis is not something to be afraid of, quite the contrary. You must realize that deep within you resides the power to make your brain happy or sad, afraid or confident, healthy or sick. Who among us doesn't want to give ourselves a "mental tune-up?"

Some things that you can accomplish with the help of hypnosis are:

• Change your eating habits: through the power of suggestion, you find yourself craving healthier foods.
• Increase energy: hypnotic relaxation is very healthful in restoring energy and vitality.
• Hypnosis is also a powerful agent for
• relieving stress
• managing pain
• speeding healing
• faster recovery from surgery
• releasing phobias and anxiety
• lifting depression
• facilitating healthful sleep
• letting go of bad habits and instilling good habits
• reducing blood pressure
• totally (and finally) managing weight
• easy motivation for exercise
• addressing skin conditions that do not respond to standard therapies
• childbirth: bringing babies into the world in a peaceful and relaxed way
• and so much more.

I have found that the easiest, most relaxing way to fit hypnosis into my busy schedule is using audio hypnosis files (either CDs, Tapes or MP3 digital audio).

I can start my iPod when I leave the house and listen to healthy, relaxing messages while exercising, driving, working or going for an evening walk! Obviously, some audio hypnosis is not suitable while driving, but hypnosis files are usually accompanied with instructions for their use.

Whichever method is right for you, I encourage every person to use hypnosis, at least try it out and see if you could benefit from this natural, relaxing way of communicating with your subconscious.

Do you want to try hypnosis in the easiest way possible?

How to Convert Telephone Calls into Powerful Presentations

You can multiply your ability to persuade by 400%, whether your audience is 1 or 100. Web-based presentations add a visual element to teleconferences. Instead of just talking to prospects, you can simultaneously show them and tell them. According to a Wharton Business School study, this dual mode communication makes your message up to four times more effective than using just your voice. Present from your office:

Web-based presentations can be as effective as in-the-same-room presentations, but are free from the costs and frustrations involved in traveling.

Talk to your prospects using your current telephone orfor large groups a rented bridge line. You and your audience view your visuals using a standard web browser and Internet connection. You control whats displayed on your audiences computer screen! Your screen contains a menu listing available visuals. You control presentation content, pace, and sequence. You can spend as much or as little time as desired on each visual. You can show all of your visuals, or just those needed to respond to attendee concerns or questions. No limits on audience size:

No audience is too large or too small for a web-based presentation! You can easily and cost-effectively show and tell 1-to-1 as you speak to individual prospects, or you can present to hundreds at a time. No advance scheduling:

Your visuals are available 24/7. No reservations are required to present. Convert any telephone call into a presentation by inviting your caller to immediately access your online visuals while talking. More than one set of visuals can be prepared and ready for instant use. Preparing your visuals:

Use Microsoft PowerPoint to create your presentation. Presentations can be as simple or complex as desired. In addition to creating visuals for your core presentation, consider creating contingency visuals available for showing as needed. This permits you to customize your presentation on the basis of questions from the audience or callers.

You can easily add and edit visuals. This permits you to customize the title or specific visuals with your clients name or client-specific contents and prices.

After completing your presentation, upload it to the server where your visuals will be available online to you and your clients, prospects, or employees. Access:

Only those who know the specific location of your presentation on the web will be able to access your visuals. You can communicate the URL during the phone conversation or you can send it to a group via e-mail before an event.

Unless you are also online, visitors will not be able to navigate through your presentation. Applications:

Any presentation task you would normally accomplish in-person can now be done on the phone and online:

Demonstrations. Do a better job of describing the benefits of your product or service by showing as well as telling. Interactively walk prospects through the steps youll use to help them solve a pressing problem or achieve a desired goal.

Previews. Increase attendance at teleseminars and live events by previewing the contents and benefits of attending.

Proposals. Deliver client presentations in an interactive environment. Use your voice to build enthusiasm and address concerns or questions as they arise.

Continuous contact. Keep in close touch with clients and prospects while helping them make informed purchase decisions and best use of their purchase.

Training. Keep employees and your sales staff motivated and up to date on your latest products and services.

Its all about relationships. Web-based presentations are just another way you can put todays low-cost technology to work building and maintaining close ties with customers and prospects. At low cost, you can communicate with added impact from your office.

Let Roger C. Parker show you how to attract qualified prospects and retaining clients by creating the right messages and choosing the right tools. Visit www.onepagenewsletters.com or call Roger at 603-742-9673 for information

What Is Your Favorite Color?

Were you able to easily answer this question? Or did you have to take some time to think about it before you figured it out? Or maybe your answer was; I have no idea.

This seems like a pretty simple question to answer on the surface right? Not so if you have been in a long term relationship or a marriage. It is not uncommon for partners in a relationship to lose their own voice. This is even more common for the women in a relationship, as we often time set aside what is important to us as we focus on our mate and our children. I know this was the case for me and I often times found it hard to differentiate between my voice and theirs. I have to admit I made a pretty awesome chameleon in my day.

So what happens when that marriage or long term relationship ends? The answers to such simple questions as What is your favorite color, become more difficult. You are now forced to look inside yourself and find out what it is that makes you tick; that is if you want to be happy and content after your marriage or relationship ends.

How do you find out what makes you happy if you buried your dreams for the sake of your family/mate? Great question! The first step for me was to sit down and make a list of all the things that I wanted to do or have now that I was accountable to no one but me. That was easier said then done. Yes, I sat down, and pulled out my trusty journal and just stared at the blank page. I realized then that my future was a blank canvass, how intimidating or should I say terrifying. But I was up to the challenge and soon found that the more appropriate phrase was how exciting. My future was of my making, wow talk about empowerment!

I persevered and it was difficult, because my wants and needs were pushed so far down inside me that I had a hard time finding them. They slowly began to surface, however, once I put the idea out there. Being aware of my desire to be the true and authentic me allowed my daily focus to be on me. By doing this I was able to pay attention to those things around me that energized me.

For example, I never finished college because I got married and had my daughter. This dream of being a college graduate I found never truly died, so I put that on my list. How did I uncover this lost dream? Well, when I started on my journey toward rediscovering myself, I continually came across advertisements for the University of Phoenix. Eventually, I realized that the reason I was noticing these advertisements so frequently was because I really wanted to get my degree. Awareness is half the battle! So after a few false starts I finally made the phone call and enrolled in the program. I am proud to say, two and a half years after that call I received my Bachelors Degree. See nothing is impossible! So start making your list today!

Not all of the things on my list consisted of things that came from my past dreams. I began to notice new things that I would never have attempted to do when I was married, that I wanted to try and/or experience. How did I find these things? I began engaging in conversations with the people around me. One of my co-workers was a prime example. She was an avid skier and runner. I was impressed. So I started asking her questions. Her passion and enthusiasm for both sports really came through in her conversation. So I thought, why not give it a try. So I started to run and I attempted to ski. I found that I had a passion for running, but the skiing not so much. So I hung up my skis and married my running shoes.

You dont have to wait for an end of a relationship to start rediscovering who you are and what you want from life. You too can take the time to make a list of the things you want to enjoy and experience. Dont let the demands of your mate or children be the excuse for living in mediocrity. Start becoming the person you were put on this earth to be, starting today! Doesnt the world deserve to experience the greatness of you?

I still continue today to look for things to add to my list. Prior to this journey, I dreaded the beginning of each new day, now I embrace each new day with joy and excitement, open to finding something new and exciting to add to my list of things to experience. One thing that I can assure you of, there are two things that will never be on my list they are parachuting and mountain climbing. But, maybe you want to add those to your list. You wont know until you get started.

Next year will come regardless, what do you want to have experienced when it does? I encourage you to purchase that journal and start making your list today.

If you need help uncovering those buried dreams I encourage you to hire a coach today. Sign up for a free sample coaching session by emailing me at coach@lisafredette.com or for more tools to help you rediscover what makes you tick check out the Getting Reacquainted ebook at www.lisafredette.com.

These numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11 and 22. All of these numbers can be reduced to single digit. Only numbers that don't reduce to single digit are master numbers.

Life is Like a Math Problem

I bet you dont know this about me, but Im a math whiz! I love math, and I love numbers. Nothing used to make me happier in school than working algebra problems and differential equations. And, nothing challenged and inspired me more than diligently working ledger cards in my accounting job years ago. I know people thought I had some screws loose but 10 to 1, if you wanted to find me, there Id be puffing away on my cigarette, calculating away, and in heaven.

Ive often wondered why working with numbers is so enjoyable for me. What is it that keeps me in the game? I would skip meals to do find answers and solutions. You cant imagine the look Id have given you for interrupting my flow and concentration.

I know this might sound weird, but I would hang in there because I knew there was an answer or a solution that existed for each and every problem. Just knowing that the answer existed kept me in the game. I had no fear of getting it wrong or right. That didnt matter. What mattered was finding the answer. I couldnt believe that people would just give up and say, "I cant do this."

Well, it hit me recently life is like a math problem. And life is like a ledger card. A solution exists, and it can be balanced! The variable (thats a math term for us math junkies) is you. Are you willing to do the work? Are you willing to hang in there, knowing the answer is there for you?

Let's look at an analogy: What do you do when you cant find the answer to a math problem and you dont want to give up? You look for a tutor, someone who can guide and teach you. You find someone who can walk you step-by-step through the math problem, helping you figure our where you got turned around, why youre stuck, and how you might do it better next time. Whenever I got stuck Id find a similar problem, glance at the answer in the back of the book and compare it to the problem I was working on. This was a great way to learn.

You can do life the same way. If you are stuck and feel like giving up, dont do it. Find a tutor, coach, or mentor to guide you and show you the way. Or, find someone who is law of successful at doing what you want to do and model, mentor, and learn from them.

Just dont give up... theres always a way! Life is like a math problem! Keep after it... and don't stop... Run, Tuck Gump, run!!

Causes of Divorce

In our life we come across many such resources (including websites, divorce experts/attorneys etc) that are working to safeguard marriages and provide ways and means to educate people in-order to have a happy life and stay married forever. On the other hand also there are found organizations, institutions and experts who would do their best efforts to provide happiness to people by drawing them out of miserable marital life they are experiencing for whatsoever reason may be and thats through divorce.

Well people on both these extremes are doing their part of work in promoting harmony, love and peace amongst people. Some focus on resolving the issues that arises in marital life while others focal point is to show people how divorce can bring an end to miserable relationship letting people breathe freely after they get divorced. But very wisely said it is always better to work on the cause rather than looking at the effect. Therefore we should think on finding the roots of the problems that more often than not occur in marriage and if can not be eradicated at least we can try to avoid them from happening after marriage.

As far the matter of divorce is concerned, The United States of America has the highest divorce rate of 3.8 divorces of 7.5 marriages per 1,000 people.

If we can not save many marriages, although many are making their utmost efforts to preserve it, at least we can try to identify the reason and grounds that become causes of divorce in most of the cases.

Every state of The United States has defined a set of reasons of divorce on the basis of which divorce may be granted. In most cases, the causes of divorce are complex and are specific to a couple's relationship, their troubles, and their own life experiences. Many people have cited irreconcilable differences, irretrievable breakdown, or incompatibility as major causes of divorce in different locations. The most commonly stem from one specific issue that is compounded by a lack of commitment to the marriage and having a poor or bad communication in between each other. There are other common causes of divorce that include money, infidelity, and career choices.

Marriage experts agree to the fact that communication problems are the root causes of divorce and they further lead and give birth to other as well. Because when two people lack communication, they are unable to solve problems that may occur in the marriage. Many married couples think that the minor problems that occur in their marriage, are insignificant, and are not worth talking about; however, they fail to realize that even the smallest things can cause conflict between the two when they are not able to solve them through communication. Many couples lack communication when it comes to making decisions about shared finances. And here money also become of the reason of divorce. Many people say money is the root of evil; the disagreement in a decision shown by one spouse can bring a drastic effect on the marriage.

With this connection when there are mismatch in the decisions made in financial matters, the support provided for children by both the parents weakens a lot. It results in poor child care, poor or no education and every other node of the chain. Eventually children become apple of discord between parents which jeopardizes the marriage. When one of the parents is closely related to children and the other is not able to provide attention, the relation takes another extreme turn and that is affairs (whether emotional infidelity or extramarital sex i.e. adultery) and which is becoming a very common cause and reason of divorce today.

As time passes by a spouse then finds warmth and affection from outside the relationship. Consequently starts cheating on the other and affairs tend to start. The outsider (to the marital relationship) then gradually starts filling hatred in your heart against your spouse. It truly fulfills no purpose, and can only aid in destroying what is left of the couple's marriage.

Therefore, divorce, no matter whatsoever the reason is, is never as easy as it is conceived. Whether a couples decision to divorce is for the good or bad, it is certain there are many affect that it has on the couples individual lives. The major causes of divorce so far clearly identified could be communication problems, lack of commitments, children support, money, affair and adultery.
