Exploring Mindfulness And Meditation  By : Roy Thomsitt In our every day lives, we are all guilty of neglecting our minds, allowing our brains to be lulled into a lazy, neglected, and unaware state. It is as if we are allowing ourselves to be sculpted by bland and repetitive consumerism, our individuality being chiselled away by a tedium we cannot even be bothered to challenge with any will. Life need not be like that. We are each blessed with a powerful mind; but normally people have forgotten or, most likely, never even knew ... What Role Does Ecology Play In Personal Success?  By : Patrick Porter Could your failure to activate personal success be linked to self-sabotage? This isn’t the type of sabotage that you would normally suspect or even give time to? What I am talking about is a part of your unconscious called the adaptive unconscious. This part of your mind is trained to predict and then avoid pain, displeasure or stress. The adaptive unconscious doesn’t set out to cause you to fail. It is working along a complex blueprint that has been developing since the m... Why Material Success Goes Beyond Money, Cars And A Big Home?  By : Patrick Porter I’ve meet people over the years that have made a great deal of money, that have material wealth, that don’t feel that they are personally successful. Their lives just don’t work. So we are talking about having the material things that bring you happiness but not the fear of losing them or in some causes the guilt over having them. What I ask my clients to be is the person they want to be? That person who has all of the freedom, flexibility and joy that is part of the equat... Guided Meditation To Make You Whole  By : Carl Walker Guided meditation is a form of stress relief that is conducive to relaxing the whole body, in part by finding a way of peaceful and calming relaxation from within the body. Guided meditation may utilize soothing photographs or scenarios to enhance the ability of the mind to relax and guide the body to a point of relaxation so that the person in meditation can find a true sense of inner peace. Quite often, guided meditation will be accompanied by soft music or sounds of nature... Ready To Snap: Crazy, Busy And The Lure Of Modern Life  By : Patsi Krakoff, Psy. D. Are you too busy? Are you always in a hurry, juggling work and family tasks like balls in the air? Are you ready to snap? You're not alone. Millions of successful adults are being swept up by today's frenetic, globalized, technology-driven lifestyle. We have plunged into a mad rush of activity, aided by high-speed Internet, cell phones, instant messaging, BlackBerries and email 24/7. We work longer hours, with escalating demands at work and home. We expect our brains to... Good Self, Bad Self  By : Patsi Krakoff, Psy. D. Do you walk your talk? Most of us like to think that we mean what we say and say what we mean. Then why do we keep saying we will quit doing this, or start doing that, and we find we keep on doing the same old things? Most New Year's resolutions end up abandoned shortly after they were made. We are not liars. We are sincere at the time. But soon or later, we find ourselves faced with conflicting emotions, convictions and our real actions. Most of the time we kid ours... Can Dreams Tell The Future?  By : Ken Donald Why do you dream? The precise function of dreaming when we sleep is still a matter of disputation among scientists and dream researchers. One accepted theory holds that dreams are a way for the subconscious mind to rinse out itself and make sense of the sensory inputs gotten during the daytime where you were awake. Another accepted theory is that dreams are a sort of let go valve. For example, a lot of people hold back or repress their feelings of anger and dislike during ... Recovery From Addictions, Part 5  By : Margaret Paul, Ph.D. In Part 1 of this series of articles, I defined substance and process addictions, and described the four major false beliefs that underlie most addictions: 1. I can’t handle my pain. 2. I am unworthy and unlovable. 3. Others are my source of love. 4. I can have control over how others feel about me and treat me. In Parts 2,3 and 4, I explored in depth each of these false beliefs and how they contribute to addictive behavior. In this final part of this series, I addre... Creating Our Reality  By : Patrick Porter Imagine that you have just put on a pair of blue-tinted sunglasses. If you were to look around the room and describe what you see, everything would appear blue to you because it’s being filtered though a blue lens. But is this reality? No, it’s your perception of reality. We only see, hear and experience life through the perceptual filters of our senses. This is why life (and reality) is always subjective. Our senses are always at work, filtering out what we believe to be ... A Rested Mind Can Improve Your Productivity  By : Wendy Betterini Imagine that you’re working late at night on a project due in the morning. Your body is tired and your mind is numb, but this project must get done, so you push on. You continue to work, despite the distinct feeling that the project would be much easier if you went to bed and approached it again in the morning. You feel obligated to do it now, so you stay up until the wee hours of the morning, producing less than desirable work in much more time than it would have taken with ... Depression Q&A: Common Kinds Of The Depression  By : Dane Loveless * What is Depression? Depression is a disorder, engaged in a person’s body, mood and thoughts. It can influence and interrupts eating, sleeping or judging manner. It is different from unhappiness or a “down” feeling. It is also not an indication of personal flaws or a condition that can be motivated or wanted away. Persons with this disorder cannot just gather themselves together and get well. Usually, treatment is important and significantly vital to healing. * Ar... The Ungiven Gift  By : Rick Beneteau He was pencil thin and walked with a limp. A thirteen year-old boy with huge yearning eyes who was always an unlucky patient on the children's floor of the hospital where my youngest daughter was all too often incarcerated. Curtis had sickle cell anemia, an incurable, painful and terminal disease that plagues young people of African descent. I would meander into his room to spend a little time with the rebellious loner and would often end up refereeing a screaming match... How To Meditate With A Mantra  By : Dada Vedaprajinananda These days whenever a politician repeats a promise over and over again commentators say that this promise has become a “mantra” for that politician. For the journalists, the word “mantra” means a meaningless phrase that is repeated endlessly. For yogis however, a mantra is a word or collection of words, which has the power of liberating a human being from all limitations. How can the repetition of a word or a few words have the capacity to bring about such miraculous resul... The Battle Of Self-Discipline  By : Analeese Burnabaker Many people struggle to break bad habits from their past and to create new, healthy habits for their future. It is much easier to continue living in the ways that are normal for us than to battle our way to a better life. If, for example, we are used to watching endless hours of television each night it will certainly be hard for us to win the battle of breaking that habit. It will be even harder to replace television with constructive and healthy ways of spending time such a... Self-Esteem: Developing A Strong Belief In Yourself  By : Wendy Betterini Inevitably in life, we will face disapproval or rejection from others. It might be a family member, friend, employer, or even a stranger. They might disagree with the way we live our lives, the decisions we make for ourselves, or even who we are. They might belittle our dreams, criticize our goals, or make hurtful comments that reveal a low opinion of us. These experiences can be quite painful, because we all want to be liked and accepted. We all want to be supported and nurt... Strategies For Overcoming Procrastination  By : Wendy Betterini When we decide to make changes in our lives, one of the biggest obstacles we might need to overcome is procrastination. We want to change (don't we?), yet we keep putting off the very steps that will create the desired results. At times we might feel like a crazy person, starting and stopping, starting and stopping. Why can't we just get it together once and for all? Unfortunately, it's not that simple unless we develop an iron will. In the meantime, we might need to come ... To Succeed Online You Must Be Sexy  By : Steven Schwartzman Did the title of this article catch your attention? I hope it did, because this will be one of the most important articles you ever read. You can read dozens of articles on how to succeed at Internet Marketing. You can buy dozens of ebooks and buy dozens of courses on how to be a successful Internet Marketer. That is all very important information, and it will certainly be crucial to your Internet Marketing success. It's not the most important thing, though. ... What Is Success?  By : Roy Thomsitt I recently read a thread in a forum in which somebody was dismissive of other people who wrote about success. His argument was that they wrote about success but were not successful themselves. I made no comment, just smiled as others were diving in to dismiss what was nothing more than a self glorifying remark. To make such a statement he must have had a very narrow minded view of success, presumably relating success to massive wealth. Even on such a narrow, and plainly s... Quit Smoking And Watch Your Social Life Soar  By : Freddy Cedano You may not realize it, but smoking affects your social life as well as your physical well being. How often have you avoided going places because they were non-smoking, or ducked out of a party at the height of the action to satisfy your nicotine cravings? When you quit smoking, you can also increase your confidence, meet new people, and join new activities. An improved social life is just one more reason to quit smoking! Gain confidence. Smokers become addicted to... You Are Not A Victim; You Are Not Alone  By : Colette Kelso If you don’t feel good about yourself, you have to fix it. There’s no other way around it. You can’t raise confident kids, have a healthy relationship, or get satisfaction from your job if you don’t. This comes from someone who didn’t, for most of her life, feel worthwhile. Many books come from the perspective of an expert, someone who already has a healthy sense of self-worth, which I believe immediately sets up an alienating perspective between them and us, those who “know”...
