creationAuthor: Scott Ginsberg

BE brilliant at the basics. Be the change you want to see in the world. Be the first one. Be the only one. Be unforgettable. Be interesting. Be a sleeper. Be that guy. Be the world’s expert on yourself. Be better than yesterday, but not as good as tomorrow. Be confident enough to be humble. But be somebody who reminds everybody of nobody else in the world.

AND DON’T wish it was easier, wish you were better. Don’t sell, enable people to buy. Don’t let the bastards get you down. Don’t be weary in well doing, for in due season you will reap a great harvest if you faint not. And don’t wait for the mainstream to validate your voice. Don’t despise the day of small beginnings. Don’t be selfish with your knowledge. Don’t complain if you haven’t earned the right. And don’t be different, be unique. (more…)

baby stepsAuthor: Ethan Kalvin

Perhaps the biggest reason why New Year’s resolutions don’t cross the finish line at the end of the predetermined time line is because it is going to take some sobering lifestyle changes that will generally take longer than the month of January. While the goals are always very ambitious, the results are much less than desired and usually inspires giving up rather than pressing through to get the results you envision. Revamping a new you will require more than 30 days. New Year’s resolutions are good examples of goals that are usually never achieved because of the gun ho attitude that soon looses steam and the time line that is attached to them. However it is very possible to achieve any goals set, by using a common sense healthy perspective approach. (more…)

Mind ControlGuest author Steve G. Jones

There are many mind control techniques that can work to manipulate the mind. Sometimes known as the power of persuasion, mind control can give you the ability to transform your thinking so you can accomplish anything your heart desires. Do you aspire to have that dream job, relationship or live in a beautiful part of the world that you have always wanted?

There are ways to control the mind and give in to the power of suggestion, so that whatever you desire can be accomplished. Learn how to influence others or influence yourself with a change of thinking patterns. Have you ever wanted to stop smoking or lose weight but something always prevents you from doing so? Are you attracting the same detrimental partners in your life as you wonder how you will ever get out of these bad patterns? As powerful as our brain is, it tells us what we are worthy of and more importantly, what we aren’t.

You can meditate or use self-hypnosis when using mind control and both are excellent ways to manipulate your environment. They also are ways to help you reprogram yourself into thinking that the way out, is always through. Program yourself to be a positive thinker and relish as you see instant results will improve your life many times over. If you want to look a certain way but need to lose weight and haven’t had success doing it by yourself, you may want to consider self-hypnosis. As an effective strategy that will improve how you feel about yourself, it will send a message out to the universe that you have already achieved your goal. (more…)

ProcrastinationAuthor: Louis Williamson

There are could be any number of reasons for why you can’t stop procrastinating: you might be doing something that you really don’t like doing. You might not know enough about the job or task that you need to do. You might be scared to fail at the task. You might lack confidence. Whatever the reason is, it tends to do you no good whatsoever.

As a former serial procrastinator I made a few conscious changes to improve my productivity and stop procrastinating in the most important areas of my life.

1. Understand the issue

This might sound a little strange, but think about it: how can you stop procrastinating if you don’t know why you are doing it? (more…)

5 Steps to Change Habits by Changing Your Brain – Create New Neural Pathways

ChangeGuest author Marilyn B. Gordon

Because of the brain’s ever-changing potentials called neuroplasticity, anything is possible. People who’ve had strokes can retrain their brains to function again by building new pathways. Smokers and overeaters and many others can learn new behaviors and attitudes and can transform their lives.

I used to drive with one foot on the brake and the other on the accelerator, and I wanted to train myself to drive with one foot only. It took some time, as I had a strong neural pathway for two-footed driving. But because I had the will to do it, I built a new pathway, and I rewired or reprogrammed my brain. You can remove a behavior or thought or addictions directly from the brain.

Some Powerful Ways to Retrain the Brain

1. Use aversion therapy.

This isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. It’s an optional path. I like to call it “the maggots on the chocolate cake technique.” I used to love candies and sweets, and when I stopped eating them, I still had to pass by them when I walked by the candy store in town. I used aversion to train my brain to walk on by: “That’s junk,” I said to myself. “It’s made in factories, sickeningly sweet, makes me feel bad. The company makes it so sweet just to addict buyers. I don’t want any of that.” So I talk myself out of it. I’ve use it with many clients (only those who say they want it) on smoking, junk food, cocaine and many other behaviors. (more…)

The Secret Decoded

Do you ever wake up with doubts, anxiety or insecurities? I do. It’s those little whispers in my brain causing my heart to race and my stomach to flutter until I pause to identify ‘what’s up’.

Over the years I’ve learned the secret to befriending these physical messages. I’ve developed a more positive interpretation of the role my brain plays in producing the unsettling messages, and this helps me transition faster from reacting fearfully to taking calm, conscious action. So what’s the secret? (more…)
