How Negative Thoughts Affect the Body

There is a profound electrical nature within our bodies in which senses, feelings, emotions, and instinctive responses are electrically transmitted instantly along the nerves to the brain. These electrical messages are constantly sent throughout the body, keeping us not only informed of personal and environmental conditions, but they are also the electrical systems that are vital to our physical health. When the energy stops flowing, we die.

Become Positive, Become Proactive

Sometimes, we can feel overwhelmed by life, feeling as though small problems are bigger than they should be or that we lose control of ourselves and the outcomes we wish to achieve. Whether it’s based on a bad day or a bad year, the solutions are always easier than they seem and yet we fail to see them so clearly. We often think deeply about the problems we face, try to understand its source or seek others for help and support. But what if you were told that these solutions were the wrong approach to solving the struggles we encounter?

How Does Fear Hold You Back?

Fear can be a very debilitating emotion. We use it instinctively to keep us from perceived dangers but sometimes exaggerate the feeling and attribute it to situations in which fear should not be an issue. When fear becomes overwhelming it can negatively affect our emotional state, our physical condition, and our psychological well being. Thoughts spiral around themselves and alter our perception, rationality, and comprehension, limiting our expectations, reducing our productivity, augmenting the complexity of problems, and impeding our ability to survive.

How Self Determination and Will Power will get you Further (part 1)

John Locke once believed that the human conscious mind is like a blank slate (tabula rasa) at birth and all our knowledge is essentially an accumulated sum of experiences and learned concepts.

Achieve True Victory, Achieve Self-Trust

If we don't trust in our capacity to deal with life as it comes at us, we end up feeling in a state of perpetual fear and worry. We try to control life through perfectionism, making sure everything is just-so, and thus avoid any form of mistake. Unfortunately, life has its ways of throwing its twists and turns at us and when we do make a mistake we feel unprepared to handle it. We take on too much because we always compare ourselves with what everyone else is doing, we do what we think people want us to do, and we’re constantly worries about what others may think.

Developing Self-Devotion

Self-devotion is the feeling of ardent love that drives commitment and dedication to a purpose related to self-betterment. Though some people may associate this with egotism and self-centeredness when expressed in an extreme form, self-devotion in the right dose can be a useful tool of self-growth, self-development, personal success and achievement. So how does one become self-devoted? Begin by understanding who you are. Your self-image, self-esteem, body image, and sense of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being must be defined in its positive yet natural form.

The Secret to a Successful Relationship

Human Relationships can be enlightening and supporting but can also cause drama and trauma. This is also and especially the case of male-female relationships. You can see such a relationship as a special kind of interaction where two different physiologies and two different biological strategies meet. They come from a different origin and they aim at a different target but meet at a crossroad.

How Self Determination and Will Power will get you Further (part 2)

Rather than following our conscious Willpower, which is mostly made up of learned behaviours, memes, and an incomplete view of the world, we could learn to read what’s around us as messages from the subconscious, as messages that we give ourselves indirectly through the power of symbols. Our life is a real re-enactment of our internal state and whatever we experience around us is a play made of slides that we possess inside our subconscious projector or operative system.

Re-establishing Motivation in Your Goals

Goals are a crucial factor for achievement and success. They are the general guidelines we use to maintain focus in our work and persist enthusiastically in what we do. They are usually long-term ambitions with global visions and are composed of smaller objectives we aim for to reach the goals we set for ourselves. Objectives, then, are the strategies and specified steps we need to take to achieve what we desire. These can range from small intentions of what needs to be accomplished in the next hour to long-term projects. To regain a clear aim, try using a mind map.

The Power of Good Choices

"Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of CHOICE; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved." (William Jennings Bryan) From the time we wake up and decide whether or not to take those extra minutes of sleep, our waking day is constantly spent making choices. Every choice can lead to either a road of success or a path of mediocrity and it is our responsibility to be mindful of the choices we make. To think that we can drift along the sea of life is erroneous for even the decision not to decide is a choice that was made.

Choose Your Friends Wisely

This article is a continuation of a previous one entitled “You Are Who You Frequent” in which the focus was directed to overcoming one’s negative habits by changing or reformatting a social group. Your social network is a sum of the members of your family and the people with whom you work, live, share activities and conversations, enjoy free time, etc. Without necessarily being aware of it, these are the everyday models you use as social references, belief orientations, standards of achievement, and general comparisons.

Boost Your Energy

Both ancient wisdom and modern research has shown that life is driven by an energy that is similar to electrostatic fields, yet far more complex (in pulsation, but not in nature), and this is essentially observable in every natural process. Professor Harold Saxton Burr quoted in his book that “Electricity is the way nature behaves” and by discovering that all living things are shaped by electro-dynamic fields, which could be measured and mapped with standard voltmeters, he coined the term “fields of life,” or L-fields, as the basic blueprints of all life on this planet.

Consider Yourself Worthy

We spend so much of our time making sure things work out well for ourselves and do this by planning, organizing, and hoping for good outcomes. However, success is not related to perfection, driving hard towards a single goal, or wearing one’s self thin with endless efforts. The first and most important step to anyone’s personal victory is to use the mind as the means to achieve: think positively. There are many articles available that refer to various methods with which positive thinking strategies can be developed and used to reach for one’s goals.

Closing your Mind to Negativity

Many experts will provide various ways for people to think, act and speak positively about themselves as a form of auto-suggestion. If you walk the walk and talk the talk you become what you put out. Express positivity and you will feel good about yourself and a constant upward cycle. However, there’s another aspect that is almost as important to self-talk in being able to reach productive positivity and that is to be aware of suggestions from the surroundings.

How best to resolve a conflict

The origin of most conflicts, whether between couples, colleagues or friends, stems from the conviction that each party feels he/she is “right.” One’s needs, values and interests thus differ from the other to the point that each party will try to persuade the other to agree with what one believes to be true. This then generates a heated debate in which each side is presented and the argument will continue to rise unless one of two things occurs: one person backs down and admits defeat (“You’re right, I’m wrong. Sorry.”); or a negotiation is sought for conciliation.

Gain From Your Culture

In a previously article entitled “You Are Where You Live” the focus was on bettering one’s self by bettering one’s environment. This article is a continuation of that first one with an added insight on how to make use of the social and cultural conditions that make up one’s society and community. Social conditioning is one of the most influential ways of learning, through which we are encouraged to abide by certain rules of conduct and thus directly and indirectly learn how to behave.

You Are Who You Frequent

Your entourage is a profound definition of who you are and can be defined in two general ways. The first is based on your geographical environment in which your physical surroundings, your manner of living, and your general adaptation are considered. The second is based on the social group with whom you chose to or have to spend your time. In this article, we will focus on the latter, leaving the first for its own editorial (see “You Are Where You Live”). Group dynamics are complex yet predictable in that they are ever-changing and unique in every circumstance.

Who Do You Claim To Be?

Most often, people identify with their occupation and respond to the questio “who am I?” with titles such as a doctor, a referee, a cook, or whatever they do most throughout the day. It is important to understand that this is not who we are but what we do, yet most of us are unable to provide any other answer than the description of our profession or role in life. On the same line, many will also provide a label for themselves based on national, cultural or religious identification such as an American, Chinese, Catholic, Protestant, Caucasian, etc.

Live The Vision

We often have an idea in our minds, a goal to achieve, an aim to look forward to. But somewhere along the way we loose track of where we were going and leave our targets unattained or barely grazed. How can one reach the desired objective and know that success and achievement are possible regardless of the circumstances under which we engage our journey? Envision A crystal clear and personally undeniable vision is an essential first step. Without knowing exactly what is to be obtained, there is no way of knowing whether or not the task has been accomplished.

You Are Where You Live

The word “entourage” comes from the French word “entourer”, referring to the verb “to surround”, or “entour”, meaning “the surrounding”. In the English language, entourage is defined in two ways. The most common use of the term is the social group, friends, peers or associates with whom you spend your time. The less known definition is that of the geographical and physical environment in which your neighbourhood, your manner of living, and your general surroundings are considered.

Finding Inspiration Around the Corner

It is not uncommon for one to feel mentally blocked, void of ideas, motivation or insight. Sometimes the mind needs a little break and falls into a state of rest as the brain reprocesses the data it has accumulated. But should this down period last too long, it could be an indication of falling into a rut. If it’s new inspiration you’re looking for, try some of these strategies to help you get over the initial hump. Seek New Experiences: If the same habits, actions or routines are always performed then it is not likely that you embrace novelty and thus novelty will not embrace you.
