How to set positive affirmations - an easy 8 step approach

Like many things we don’t fully understand, it would be easy to dismiss the power of affirmations, but enough respected and highly successful people use them that, they deserve investigation. Regrettably, many of us grow up with a set of beliefs about ourselves that are less than empowering. As we grow up we begin to put ourselves down for any slight failure, whether real or imagined. Our parents, teachers and other influential adults can inadvertently create a diminished self image and install a number of limiting beliefs.

Why Affirmations Work

Have you ever driven a familiar route, only to arrive with no real recollection of how you got there? Scary when you think about it isn’t it? Yet when we were learning to drive, it took all our powers of concentration to coordinate our hands and feet, not to mention negotiate a busy junction. All the things we do on a daily basis without even thinking about are stored in the subconscious part of our minds. These include the way we brush our teeth, the way we tie our shoes, the way we drive and so on.

Why isn't Financial Education Taught in Schools?

If ever there was a time for better financial education then surely it is now? When you look at the state of many of the economies around the world it’s a mystery why financial education is not compulsory schools. It is easy to blame banks, big business or governments for the current climate but it is the education of individuals that need to change. At school, we may have learned some skills necessary to get a job, but nobody tells us how to create or manage our wealth.

How to help your children learn about money

The story of Pinocchio may be more profound than we initially thought… A perfect creation gradually gets influenced and tarnished by its surroundings before thankfully finding its way back to its true nature. Up until the ages of 7 or 8 children are literally being programmed by their environment, what they see, touch, hear and most importantly feel, shapes the 'rules' they create in their subconscious minds. These rules then dictate their values, beliefs and actions and can be difficult to reshape as adults.

The magic of setting goals

OK, let's be honest, Goal setting is not a new phenomena . Business and motivational experts such as Jim Rohn, Zig Ziglar or Brian Tracy have been extolling their virtues for many years. Napoleon Hill in the classic Think and Grow Rich writes: “Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe he can achieve”. But how exactly can the process of setting goals bring about tangible results? Allow me to use an example, for many, the goal of running a marathon is all about crossing the finish line. Consider this:- is the larger achievement the ability to get to the start line?

Financial Education - Who should be teaching your children?

The current financial crisis has sharpened the focus on the need for better financial education across all segments of the population. Just as information and guidance on healthy eating and exercise can prevent a lifetime of obesity, effective financial education, when started at an early age, can prevent chronic financial health problems later in life. Where this education should take place is a matter of debate. Whether education and guidance of this sort would be more effectively shared by parents and families or taught formally as part of the school curriculum.

Kids and Money - Should allowance be given or earned?

It’s an age old parenting question, but one which still causes a huge amount of debate: should you give your child pocket money for doing chores? The best answer I can give you is, ‘sometimes’. One obvious reason for linking the two is to encourage a work ethic. Giving pocket money for chores teaches a simple lesson: if you do the work, you get paid. If not, you don’t. Since children in the UK can only take on part time work at the age of 13 (except for certain ‘performance’ related jobs), pocket money provides a good way to teach this lesson at an early age.

What are you teaching your children about money?

Most people inherit their beliefs and values from their parents. So along with Mum’s eyes and occasionally Dad’s nose, we are likely to become conditioned by their set of rules around money, which in turn came from their previous generation.

Teaching Your Kids About Money - Setting the Financial Thermostat

A key concept in teaching your children about money is the awareness that as an adult your past programming determines every thought that forms in your mind. With this knowledge we can give our children positive messages and a healthy financial conditioning. As a child our conditioning, including our relationship with money takes place in three main ways: • Verbal Programming – What did you hear about money when you were young • Modelling Behaviour – what did you see when you were young?r

7 steps to Prosperity Thinking

How do you measure true achievement? Is it about more than money? Cash in the bank is a handy gauge, yet to be abundantly supplied means we can benefit from loving relationships, a beautiful home, travel, and contribute via the realization of our purpose or life's work. The process we use to access this Universal or Devine Energy is by understanding both how it works and what we need to do to open ourselves to this creative and nurturing power. This is known as having a prosperity consciousness.
