4 Reasons to Take Your Pet Along for a Jog

It is clear that when your dog is able to ambulate, he or she should be on foot beside you when you are walking or jogging. The issue that pet strollers address is when your pet is no longer able to walk or run beside you. Your pet might be small and unable to run long distances, or your pet used to run with you all the time until he got injured or is now too old to make the journey.

Making A Commitment To Ones Self

Seven years ago I made the first commitment I'd made to my self in my entire life. That's right! I was forty-five years old and had never paid much attention to the commitments in my life. If things didn't work out, oh well! I had that attitude since my teenager years. My parents never taught me the meaning of the word commitment. I had no idea that commitments were important things to learn about. I can remember my mother asking me what was going to happen when my first marr

Break A Bad Habit Using Brainwave Entrainment

The beginning of a new year is not the only time that you may take stock of your habits and decide that you need to reign some of them in, but it often represents a place or a time to start. Brainwave entrainment is a personal technological tool that helps you access specific brainwave frequencies that can break a bad habit at its source, your subconscious mind. A habit is an often unconscious behaviour pattern, acquired by frequent repetition or a learned behavioural response, that becomes associated with a particular situation, becoming almost automatic, establishing a usual practice.r

Brainwave Entrainment Aligns You With The Law of Abundance

You must tap into your own source of well-being before you can receive abundance in your life. Brainwave entrainment is a neuro-technological tool that will align you with the frequency that attracts and activates the Law of Abundance, changing your life, making you a conscious receiver. Are you blocking your abundance? Do You Know How To Receive? I was never taught how to receive gifts of any kind. It made me feel awkward and unworthy, no matter what it was. I wasn't open to receive. This means I wasn't open to receive joy, love, and abundance for anything.

Brainwave Entrainment Stops The Cycle of Fear

When you factor down a limitation, you can see the cycle of fear. Fear breeds fear, breeds fear. Brainwave entrainment is a scientific tool that allows you to access the brainwave frequency that can stop fear in its tracks, interrupting the cycle of fear, giving you back your control over your own life. In the end, there are only two types of emotion, love and fear. Authentic love comes from that place where you receive your inspirations, from the Source or the Divine Intelligence. This inspiration cannot come through and guide you, if you are full of fear.

Why Am I More Stressed Out Than You?

Emotional and cognitive stress is a subjective response, experienced by the body, to a particular situation or thought. Stress can motivate us to perform at optimal levels, and it can also cause us to feel helpless and we emotionally shut down. How we perceive a stressful event or thought determines the response by our bodies. In some cases we perceive the stress as a challenge and are able to adapt, but in other cases our strategies for coping are not able to adequately manage the stress and we feel anxious, depressed and/or uncomfortably out of control of the situation.

On Handling Stress

The normal state of the human mind and body is that of total health and relaxation. This is not the abnormal state. It is healthy. People in their normal state are not constantly operating under tension and anxiety. Chronic (ongoing) stress, which is caused by worry, negative thoughts, and negative emotions, can result in ulcers, arthritis, cancer, and many other diseases that are often otherwise avoidable. It literally causes the body to deteriorate. Disease is a result of stress, not its cause.

Beliefs and How They Work

Beliefs are generalisations about how the world is. Your beliefs are so powerful that they do in fact determine your life! They are the presuppositions that we have about the way the world is that either create or deny us personal power. In effect, they are our on/off switch for our ability to do anything in the world. It is important to understand our beliefs as they explain why we choose to do what we do. Beliefs are the second set of internal filters. Beliefs are convicti

False Pride and Other Notions - A Way Out

At a young very young age our minds are fed with notions like "take pride in the work you do" or "be proud of yourself", but do we value the consequences of holding this lens on the world? I remember hearing voices from teachers and coaches telling me to "hold your head up to the world and take charge", and "be stoic and prove to the world you have the strength inside to do anything you want!" This exclusionary, fend for yourself attitude is drilled into our minds over and over again until is becomes habitual in our lives.
