How Appreciative Are You?
Posted by: | CommentsWhat do the holidays mean to you? Are you looking forward to the free time? Is being together with your family important? Will you attend year-end parties with your families and friends? Will it be a time when you evaluate your choices and your achievements? Will you be concerned with transitions in your relationships and career? Will you invest a few moments to review if ad how your Self-Esteem has improved during the past year? Will you be convinced that you never take a vacation from your Self-Esteem?
Remember, Self-Esteem is the self-respect you feel for yourself. The holiday season, like all others, is a time to do some self-appreciation. Congratulate yourself for taking care of yourself, your family, your career, and your friendships.
Add up all the moments you gave yourself away to help someone. Add up all of the smiles you gave away and then received a smile in return. Recall all the times you gave someone a firm handshake. Remember how you felt when someone said “thank you” for your opening a door or holding open a door for them. Reflect on the times you gave information to your fellow employees or associates to help make their work easier. Appreciate the quiet moments you gave yourself. Recall relaxing to your favorite mellow music. Relish those vacation memories when you renewed your desire to experience life at a cutting edge level. Take delight in those experiences which helped you feel alive. Relive those special moments when you went to your favorite restaurant and enjoyed conversation at the highest plateau (the highest form of conversation, free of value judging, gossip, and envy).
Close your eyes and see all of those precious moments of the past year. Hear the beautiful sounds and feel the unique feelings of intact Self-Esteem which you deserve. I appreciate you reading this message. We all need to love each other to bring about peace on earth. With intact Self-Esteem, peace, happiness, and success are inevitable. I wish you and your loved ones health, wealth and to always be young among old friends. And, I wish you and your loved ones intact Self-Esteem.
Share this message with others and then, watch what happiness!
Can you turn off your thoughts and just be?
Posted by: | CommentsHow did you sleep last night? Did you find yourself waking up and not being able to go back to sleep? Were there thoughts and feelings going through your mind that kept you up? When you tried to stop thinking about whatever was on your mind, were you able too?
So many people today are so filled with so much going on in thier mind each day they can not slow it down and stop processing. You know the mind justs keeps going and going.
Is this you? If it is try this idea. Stop reading this and for the next 15 seconds practice quiting your mind for 15 seconds. Ok go.
If you said to yourself I can not take 15 seconds I am to busy. Ok, ask yourself are you worth 15 seconds? You know do you love yourself enough to pause and give yourself a break for just 15 seconds to just be.
If this was hard how can I invite you to the next level, if this one was hard? If you did take the 15 then try this. The next time you find yourself not able to quite your thinking put your feet on the floor to ground yourself and breath in through your nose and out through your mouth. Close your eyes and visualize a calming place or scene in your mind. A visual of a calming, peaceful scene that slows you down and helps you “be” in the moment. So try it and watch what happens.
Let me know how it works for you. Respond back with your other tips.
Visualization is a major factor in being successful.
Posted by: | CommentsI once heard a story about a man that was captured in the Vietnam War and thrown into a POW camp. He kept his spirits alive by visualizing playing 18 holes at his favorite course back home in the States. He would do this multiple times a day, every day. He would put himself through countless scenarios in his head that ranged from shanks to perfect shots. When he finally got back home and went golfing at his favorite course, his game wasn’t as diminished as someone who had spent a good amount of time in a POW camp should be. This may be an extreme example, but it was a great story that I heard along my journey and it really inspires me.
Studies have shown, if you visualize accomplishing something and have a positive attitude, it is easier to attain success. Today, I want you to visualize accomplishing a goal or a major project you are working on. You should spend a fair amount of time going over the details and intricacies of this goal or project. Actually see your self completing the task before you even embark on your journey. Visualize yourself ecstatic and full of pride because you accomplished what you set out to do. Visualize the steps you took to reach your goals as well as the problems that arose and how you navigated your way through them. If you really spend time visualizing yourself being successful, you WILL increase the likelihood of completing this difficult task.
If you visualize all the problems that you might encounter during your journey, you will have better prepared yourself to overcome them because you have seen these not-so promising situations before. Hopefully you will go over your plan of action so many times that if a problem does come up, it won’t rattle or surprise you.
Remember, before starting your day or week, visualize the so-called “impossible” tasks you have to get through. Really dig deep and make sure you see yourself overcoming all obstacles that you may come across. If you visualize being successful, chances are, you will be…
