Training Your Mind - The Law Of Attraction

Having a Focus mind is imperative to success. Even if you are skepticle about the power of intention, it isn't difficult to imagine what a discipline mind can do for you. In reality, it is difficult to have absolute focus on one thing that you are doing without being sidetrack. Ask even the most focus thinker and he will tell you it is difficult not to be distracted in a given situation.
So does it mean it is impossible to be focus? Not quite, a good solution to these problems is to build your mental discipline, your ability to stay focus on whatever it is you consciously decide to think about. We spend a lot of time thinking, yet how much effort do we consciously put in to managing our thoughts?
To begin to train your mind to be focus. You should start by consciously blocking out negative thoughts and indulging in activities that distract you. Watching TV is one example as it is fill with many negative influence which are hard to control once addicted. Learn to be more aware of the things you are doing on hand and concentrate on it rather than be distracted by things around you. When you are lifting weights at the gym, concentrate on the particular group of muscle you are working on. Focus on the contractions not the people around you. Although it is impossible to have 100% focus on whatever you are doing. Your degree of focus will get better with practice.
Negative people never run out of excuses to complain. Staying away from such people will eliminate negative thinking and let's you focus on the positive. Learn to " switch channel" quickly by rejecting negativity and focusing on a happy and positive situation. Set a standard and stick to it. Do not let someone's opinion sway your decision.
Improving you finance. Financial burden can weight you down and distract you from achieving your goals. Consciously work toward your financial goals first. Only when such distraction is remove, can you focus on things that are of more importance.
Last but not least, spend time in your recreation. Having a relaxing moment takes stress away and help you focus on your game. In whatever you do, do it well and with an intention. Since we are not robots and cannot completely shut off our emotions. We need to learn to control them and let our intention dominates our thoughts and action.

Use Mind Power - Train Your Mind for Personal Growth, Development and Success

There are many aspects to personal growth and development that are important if you are to be successful. You will need to learn new skills, you will need to develop a positive attitude and stay focussed on achieving your objective.
One vital aspect of personal growth and development is that you need to train your mind. Unless you develop a mind that equal to the demands of greater success, your success will be short lived.
Like the legend of Icarus, you may find a way of soaring up to the clouds, but if you don't have the right mindset you will find that you can't cope with your new situation and you will crash back to Earth. Some people go through this cycle time and time again without realising that they need to use mind power to develop their strength of character and success mindset.
There are a number of areas where you may need to use mind power for personal growth and development.
Can you believe it, is it important to you? 
Your beliefs - what you believe to be true, and your values - what is important to you have a very powerful effect in your behaviour. If you are trying to achieve something that is in conflict with either of these two areas, you will find it difficult or even impossible to achieve long term success.
The most troublesome area is limiting beliefs - statements that begin with "I can't...", "I'm not..." or any other negative phrase. If you believe you can't earn more that $3000 in a month, you will almost certainly find it very difficult to break through this income barrier.
If maintaining a good relationship with your colleagues at work is important and you believe that the promotion you are hoping for will mean that you can no longer be friendly, you will find it hard to drive yourself to get the promotion.
How has your mind been trained?
At a deeper level, we have all been conditioned since childhood and we have habits of thought that are deeply ingrained in our minds. Many of these habits are good for you - checking that there is no traffic when you cross the street is good for your survival!
However you have also probably picked up many habits of thought that are not beneficial. Sometimes these habits express themselves as limiting beliefs. Sometimes your habits of thought affect the way that you process and respond to information as you receive it through your senses. Are you a person who always look for problems or do you habitually try to find solutions?
Your mind has been "trained" by many influences - your parents, your society, your culture, your experiences in life. You will need to examine your thought processes very carefully to detect the subtle influences of your past conditioning.
Use your mind power to overcome your barriers to success
As you have seen, your mind can have many barriers to success built in to it. You may have limiting beliefs that prevent you from getting the results you want. Some of your past conditioning may give you habits of thought that will hinder your progress. You will need to take the time to identify potential problems and then find ways to eliminate them.
The best tool you have to eliminate the barriers to personal growth and development is your own mind. If you use mind power you can overcome any obstacle that you create for yourself.
The challenge you may have is knowing where to start and how to train your mind. There are many good personal growth and development tools available today. There is a selection of tools to help you use mind power to clear away barriers.

Achieve More - 7 Tips on Goal Setting and Making Changes

The only thing constant in life is change, though the irony is we all fear change to one degree or another. In fearing change, we fear life itself, or at least inhibit our exposure to living it. Many of us wish for a more fulfilled and prosperous life but for some, the fear of failure or a lack of confidence can prevent them from achieving their best. Even for those who do decide to change something in their life that makes them unhappy will often only talk about changing it, without taking any action. This can lead to a feeling of disempowerment and frustration. As humans we have cultivated fear as a form of survival; knowing to fear the sabre tooth tiger and run to safety.
Fifty years ago our lives were well defined; men went to work and spent their whole life working with one employer, women stayed at home, couples got married and the family unit stayed intact. Fifty years on and we have witnessed major changes within these parameters. People have numerous job changes and those jobs are not as guaranteed, more than fifty percent of marriages end in divorce leaving the family unit split. The workplace can be an unsupportive, even hostile place for a personal crisis. If we are to sample life to its fullest, we need to able to embrace change and learn to understand its concepts and our behaviours to it. Learning the techniques on how to accept and make changes in your life can give you a huge advantage in your personal and career future.
7 Tips to Achieving More:
Are you ready to change but unsure where to start? Try these tips and make a contract with yourself to see it through.
o Write down 3 things you want to change, be specific and give them a due date.
o Write a goal for each change you want and write it in the present tense. Ensure to be detailed in your description. How will you feel? How will it affect others you love? What will it give you? For example "It is November 23rd 2008 and I have got my fantastic new business marketing job which makes me feel worthy and respected"
o For each goal, write 10 reasons why you must achieve it.
o Then write 10 consequences of not achieving your goal.
o Read your goals aloud everyday and smile.
o Write down 5 different ways for you to reach each goal. Get creative and see it as a challenge rather than a problem.
o Set 3 small action steps you need to take every week/month on each goal. Build up a plan and write them down. Each step should take you closer to what you want, so plan the route and each time you achieve a step cross it off your list.Keep on track you will automatically achieve your goals.
Go for it and good luck on your journey.

How to Achieve Happiness in Life - 3 Happiness Tips That Work Like Magic

Learning how to achieve happiness in life is now at the forefront of everybody's minds. Throughout the years, people have grown more aware of the importance of self-development.
They've come to regard happiness as an important aspect of their life. For others though, it is as elusive as spotting an endangered species in the middle of the street. But that doesn't mean it is unattainable. Here are some remarkably simple tips on how to achieve happiness in life.
Happiness Tip # 1: Be at Peace with Yourself.
If you want to experience lasting joy, you must first come to terms with yourself. First of all, how do you feel about your life? Are you satisfied with yourself? Are you contented with your job?
There are probably a number of answers for these questions, but what's most important here is that you accept yourself for who you are.
If there are a couple of unpleasant skeletons in your closet, you must try to deal with them one by one. That way, you'll be able to breathe easier every waking day of your life.
Happiness Tip # 2: Think in Positives.
One powerful way on how to achieve happiness in life is to think positively. One thought at a time does wonders for a person's morale.
Start thinking positively the moment you wake up. Be grateful for having another opportunity to live a meaningful life. Think about how beautiful the weather is today and how fortunate you are to have such a life.
If negative thoughts spring to mind, immediately shake your head and cancel them out; then look for the positive side in every situation.
It also helps to avoid hanging around with negative-minded people (also known as toxic people). They would only damper your mood and state of mind despite all the great things happening around you.
Being positive keeps your temper in check and allows you to deal with stressors effectively. Continue this practice of thinking in positives; and pretty soon, it'll come naturally to you.
Happiness Tip # 3: Make Somebody Else Happy.
Another effective way on how to achieve happiness in life is to cheer someone up or make somebody else happy.
Whether it is someone you know or a stranger on the street doesn't matter. What's important is the feeling you get after making others smile and giving them joy. It could be as simple as treating your cousins to ice cream or giving someone a big help in a project.
Happiness is infectious and spreads easily. It works pretty much like the Christmas spirit. Believe me when I say that you're also doing yourself a big favor by spreading happiness.
These days, people seem too cynical and vulnerable to depression. It's high time that more people start learning how to achieve happiness in life. After all, in the end, wouldn't we want to remember a life filled with bliss and wonderful memories, than one filled with disappointment and anger?

How To Let Go Of Grudges

I'd like you to try a simple experiment.
First, get an empty backpack and fill it full of stones. If you don't have access to stones, you can use potatoes, canned food, or whatever else is handy, until it weighs about 30 pounds.
Got it? Great. Now put your arms through the straps and put it on your back.
For the second part of the experiment, find some small pebbles, the sharper the better. Put a dozen or so in each of your shoes, then put your shoes back on. Now, wear this backpack and those pebbles in your shoes for the rest of your life.
Outrageous? Stupid? Masochistic? Of course it is. So why would you do exactly the same thing by holding a grudge against someone?
Grudges don't hurt the person who wronged you. They hurt you. And when you carry them around, they become a torture instrument of the person who injured you in the first place, punishing you again and again every time you take the grudge out and go over it.
When you look at it in terms of real physical harm, like the fatigue and pain caused by the backpack and pebbles, it's easy to see the danger. But when it's psychological pain, we tend to underestimate it, even though that can increase your stress level, make you susceptible to high blood pressure, and leave you feeling exhausted at the end of the day.
The 'poor me' syndrome
So why do we carry grudges? Why do we refuse to forget a slight somebody inflicted on us in the past, perhaps years ago?
Maybe it has to do with our normal need for attention. When we can pull an old grudge out, parade it in front of our friends or relatives, maybe we'll get some sympathy. Maybe they'll tell us how unfair life has been to us and that we're really a good person who didn't deserve such injustice.
Others will commiserate with us, pat us on the back and marvel at our bravery in holding up under such a load.
But if we were lugging that backpack full of rocks around, more likely they'd say, "What's the matter with you? Stop doing that to yourself." Actually, that's probably what they're thinking when you pull out your old grudges for the umpteenth time.
How to let it go
The first step in ridding yourself of these psychological anchors is to recognize that the only person being hurt here is you certainly not the person who harmed you. There's no nobility in making yourself miserable. There's no reward in resurrecting painful memories, except a dose of fresh pain.
Only when you're willing to admit that this is self-destructive behavior are you ready to start dealing with it. When you understand that periodically renewing your old hurts makes as much sense as walking on sharp pebbles will you be ready to stop punishing yourself.
The next step is to care more about your present and your future than about your past. Why ruin today and tomorrow with regrets from yesterday? Happiness is not just a matter of doing positive things. It also requires that we stop doing negative things.
Finally, acknowledge that like whiskey to an alcoholic, even a little wallowing in your old grudges can be deadly. You have much more control of your mind than you give yourself credit for. When you become alert to the these damaging thoughts, you're better able to stop them in their tracks.
Forgive, forget, or both?
Forgiving is one of the hardest things we have to do, but that's because we try to accomplish it with feelings instead of an act of the will.
Forgiving is always in your best interest. It stops the grudge from doing you future harm. That doesn't mean you'll forget. Forgiving still leaves a scar. Refusing to forgive leaves an open wound.
Often the only justice you'll receive is the kind you'll get when you refuse to let an old grudge continue to hurt you any more. Dropping that backpack and emptying those pebbles from your shoes will lighten you immeasurably for the rest of your journey.
You owe yourself that.

10 Things To Do When You're Afraid or Scared To Overcome Fear

I recently finished chapter 7 (What to Do About What You're Afraid Of) by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale in his book called "The Amazing Results of Positive Thinking". His first two sentences state this, "You can do something about your fear. You can overcome it."
It's pretty easy to know how important being able to handle fear is when you think about how it can stop you in your tracks towards being the best you can be and reaching your goals. With this in mind, there probably isn't a single other topic as important to you as that of overcoming fear.
Here are 10 ways to overcome your fear so you can move on with your life and live the life you really want and not that of wishing you had...
1) Do it anyway - Your dreams are too important to just write them off due to fear. You can't afford to not overcome your fear. Ralph Waldo Emerson and Mark Twain said similarly, "Do what you fear the most and the death of fear is certain". How true it is.
2) Practice - If you can practice what it is you are trying to accomplish, like speaking in front of a large audience or interviewing, this will go a long way in overcoming fear.
3) Study or Educate - One thing that can cause fear is in the unknown. Turn the unknown to the known by researching and learning more about what it is you are needing to know
4) Use Self Talk - Self talk is very powerful in changing one's ability to deal with fear and stressful situations. Self talk is a topic on its own, but I recommend you write a positive statement about what it is you want to happen in present tense and say it out loud with feeling over and over for 30 to 40 minutes. You can deviate from the sentence to include more details and additional information as it relates to overcoming the fear, but it must be positive and in present tense. As corny as it may seem, this really works.
5) Evoke help and support from others - Others who support you like mentors and leaders in the area that is causing you fear can be very helpful in providing you confidence in yourself to overcome any fear you may have.
6) Become inspired - Read a book, listen to a passage, or watch a movie or some other video that inspires you regardless of if it is applicable to the fear you face. It will give you the power to know you too can overcome your fear when you learn and feel what others felt who had great challenges presented to them, yet succeeded.
7) Break it down - Don't try to eat an elephant whole. Whatever is causing you your fear (your elephant) in most cases can be broken down into bite size pieces allowing you to eventually overcome those fears. Take baby steps. For example, if you are trying to speak before large audiences, try sharing your speech with your spouse or friend, at a Toastmasters chapter, then a small audience, followed by a larger audience and so on.
8) Develop a protection shell equivalent to that of steel - Build confidence in yourself to assist in overcoming your fears. You have the ability to do that of which anyone else has already done, which really means your abilities are endless. To overcome your fears, gain self esteem of which there are a lot of programs available to assist you in doing so.
9) Consult and Pray to your Higher Power - This may be your best option for a quick fix and even long term fix for overcoming fear because there is no other option as powerful as this one. Use this option as your secret weapon, and nobody needs to know. When your Higher Power is with you, nobody and nothing can stop you, not even your fear.
10) Envelop yourself with your reasons why - Think of why you are doing what it is that you are doing. Perhaps helping your family or others. Maybe you want certain things for yourself or material things. Whatever it is, if you focus on your reason for doing the thing that brings you the fear, you'll have better ammunition to succeed at accomplishing that which scares you to do.
Bonus reason: You'll feel so great once you finish that which you fear. You can overcome your fear because I believe in you.

Improve Confidence - Top Tips To Help You Be More Confident In Yourself

Appearances can be deceptive! Sometimes you meet someone who exudes confidence; they seem to be able to handle anything, any body and any situation that life throws at them. But how many people are really genuinely confident about themselves and their abilities? Sometimes all you need to do is scratch the surface and you find that inside, even the most confident person on the outside can be filled with self doubt. So what can you do to improve your confidence?
I hear it all the time from friends, family, colleagues and clients; "people think I'm confident, but...". Very often people who portray outward confidence have what I call "blagging" confidence only. For example a young person that I know well seems to have all the confidence in the world, and yet will avoid simple things like making a trip on a bus in case he doesn't see the bus stop in time.
Others, often successful business people or academics who function well in the world have an inner doubt about their abilities often writing off their achievements as "flukes", or in their mind secretly believing that if their colleagues find out what they are really like that they would not be tolerated and expelled.
In psychotherapeutic terms, this self doubt is known as egotism. It manifests itself in the individual who instead of feeling satisfaction at a job well done, or pride in an achievement, goes over and over it, analysing everything to death. This eats away at their own confidence until they perceive themselves as the fraud, the fluker, the hardened exterior filled with jelly.
So how can you improve confidence levels? Well here are some tips to help you start to be more confident in yourself and become confident in your abilities and stop worrying about being rumbled as a fraud.
  1. Gather evidence - often the negative view of ourself comes from a belief that we treat as a fact. So you can become more confident in yourself by gathering evidence which challenges the negative schema. This can take the form of a diary, a list of bullet points or just paying attention to the reality of what is happening around you. So take a little time and think of all the things that you have achieved in a period of time - you can start with small wins like "I got the kids to school on time" and work up to recognising that all of the things you achieve in your life, simply cannot be down to pure luck and will start to help to improve your confidence.

  2. Match, mirror and model - Think of the most confident person you know. Think about not what they say, but how they look, how they stand, how they walk. Then decide to spend a period of time - (you can start with just a minute if you like) behaving "as if" you really are that confident. Build up the time and the frequency where you play this improved confidence game, and in time you will actually be more confident.

  3. Become confident in small chunks - you wouldn't be able to eat a whole elephant in one sitting, and likewise you do not have to improve your confidence to mega levels in just one day! Start looking for small opportunities and wins to be more confident and get into the habit of feeling genuinely confident. So for example, if someone asks if you would like to join them for lunch at 12 noon, why not try saying that you'd love to do that, but they make the time 12.05 as you want to make sure you can be there on time and not keep them waiting?
Of course not all of these things will work for everyone, but it is worth giving them some thought and giving them a try - after all, what have you got to lose apart from self-doubt?
