Quote: “We learned to follow many belief systems programmed from youth. It is time to embrace change and re-create a new system based upon your own truth." Each one of us can identify with a certain set of beliefs passed down from generations. Beliefs can hold us back from creating greatness due to false limitations. Our minds are computerized programs set in our ways. We behave like robots imitating the influences of society. If you are unhappy in your life, change what yo

<cite>Yesterday is a canceled check; tomorrow is a promissory note; today is the only cash you have -- so spend it wisely. - Kay Lyons</cite> The world--your world, my world--is composed of only three time zones: past, present, and future. Focusing your mind exclusively on the past or the future will get you into trouble and render you ineffective while you are in the present.

Those who say winning is not everything have probably never truly won anything because they do not know the true meaning of success. To recognize success, it is necessary first to define failure. Failure is the refusal either to establish a plan or to work persistently toward its accomplishment, regardless of the challenges. Most of us were never taught that failure is a matter of choice or that success is a matter of choice. Failure is not, as many believe, the result of lack of talent, money, time, or opportunity.

One of the common narcissistic tendencies is baiting. Narcissistic individuals love getting attention – because attention is narcissistic supply, and it confirms to the narcissist’s ego that he or she is valid, alive and exists. Because a narcissistic personality is a constructed False Self,this ‘idealised version of self’ requires constant validation. What this means is the narcissistic personality cannot just ‘be’, and does not have the resources to bepeaceful,

We often hear the phrase “character motivation” and wonder what it is. Character motivation is attached to general life. But it is also used in case of writing such as fiction writing, drama, movies, plays and others. So, what is character motivation? Character motivation is what that motivates characters to behave in a particular way. Character motivation describes why a particular character behaves in a specific way. Not all characters behave in the same way. They behav

If you want to improve your performance at something, or if you want to create new good habits, one very successful technique is the use of positive reinforcement. The following story will illustrate how one of my coworkers used positive reinforcement to create new successful behavior. When I was in my early twenties a long time ago, I worked in an office with three other people my age. The room was very tiny, and we were young and energetic, so we probably spent as much time

Brainwave entrainment, a powerful audio and/or visual technology that entrains the brain to a specific state, can and does have the ability to stimulate brainwaves that will increase your experience of sexual stimulation. Yes it can make you excited. It can turn you on and up. It will lift your mood. It can give you great pleasure. Your sexual circuitry is in your right brain, right hemisphere. Directed energy in the form of alpha brainwaves from the occipital to the frontal cortex will build sexual energy throughout the body, before it accumulates in the genitals.

Are you in the right "frame" of mind? You are standing, alone, looking at yourself, naked, in a full length mirror, saying, for the hundredth time this week, "I am at my perfect weight. I only eat foods that are healthy for my body", and the 35 lb spare tire draped around your middle, like icing spilling over the edge on one of those designer cup cakes, yells back "Liar!" You've been saying affirmations like this for weeks, over and over, and nothing is happening. You're not any thinner. In fact, if anything is happening at all, it's that you're getting heavier.

By Sam Vakninr Author of "Malignant Self-love: Narcissism Revisited" The narcissist cursed - or blessed - with mental X-ray vision. He sees through people's emotional shields, their petty lies, their pitiable defences, their grandiose fantasies. He knows when they deviate from the truth and by how much. He intuitively grasps their self-interested goals and accurately predicts the strategy and tactics they will adopt in order to achieve them. The narcissist cannot stand self

It all starts with a thought, a desire and a dream. You want to change something in your life-make it better-alter your reality. You've watched "The Secret", repeated your affirmations, put up your vision boards, and you're still not manifesting your intentions. Why aren't your intentions working? Brainwave entrainment can help you develop the skill to successfully manifest your desires.

Webster defines Self Discovery as the act or process of achieving self-knowledge. Further, he defines Self Help as the action or process of bettering oneself or overcoming one's problems. Both are all about changing oneself. It’s all about finding ways to change your life. I love this quote by George Carlin: “I went to the bookstore and asked the salesperson, ‘Where’s the self-help section?’ She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.” It’s true we do have to fin

There are many choices of treatment types when it comes to behavior modification schools. Many offer the traditional behavior modification mode of rewarding positive behavior penalizing negative behavior etc. The behavior modification programs are typically based on a level system. This means that when a youth does appropriately, they advance and move up levels. This process continues through their stay until they graduate the program. There are a few programs that are using

Very few of us are at our peak mentally, athletically, emotionally, or spiritually, and could use some major improvements in those areas. Increasing gamma brainwave activity will help your brain work faster, stronger and clearer. Gamma brainwave frequency oscillates between 40 Hz and 70 Hz. They are the fastest documented frequency that you can experience. It is considered that gamma brainwave connects and helps processes information from all parts of the brain-for a whole brain experience.

Serotonin is a monoamine neurotransmitter that is produced from an amino acid called tryptophan that is stored within the gastrointestinal track, platelets, and the central nervous system. Ninety percent of it is found in the gut regulating intestinal movements. It is associated with your moods, how well you sleep, depression, anxiety, how you view things, body temperature, energy, muscle contraction, whether your platelets clot or not, and your ability to make decisions. Serotonin is the "happiness hormone." That makes it kind of important to your sense of well-being, don't you think?r

Isochronic tones are the strongest brainwave entrainment on the market today and using this technology can increase and enhance your sexual desire and drive. We all live stressed-out lives today, and the fall-out of that is, a diminished sexual libido.

While recognition of stages involving cognition in the developing child are universal--although much disagreement exists regarding the nature and substance of those stages--the study of cognitive change in adulthood becomes mired in the various definitions and philosophical views proposed by the respective theorists and researchers (Woolf, 1998). Structuralism, for instance, views cognitive change as unidirectional, whereas a life-span developmental theorist views it as multidirectional.

You attend a seminar, read a book, talk to an expert or conduct research on the Internet. You expand your knowledge. You learn a great deal about the topic you wanted to know more about. A week or two go by and what often happens? You forgot most of what you learned. Studies have found that if ...

Isochronic tones are the newest form of scientifically proven brainwave entrainment technology. Brainwave entrainment occurs when a specific sound and/or visual stimulus is introduced to the brain with the intention of altering its state of consciousness and frequency. The brain, using the following frequency response principal in physics, quickly duplicates this stimulus and is entrained to its pattern.

Who doesn’t want to be fit and healthy? Probably everyone wants this, but most people I talk to feel it is too hard to achieve or something they just don’t have time to do. They think they have to start out exercising five to six days a week for an hour or more and maintain a rigid diet that ...

Addiction, a persistent, compulsive dependence on a behaviour or substance, can come in many forms and can be overcome with the use of brainwave entrainment to change the dominant brainwave frequency. Alcohol and drugs are what most people acquaint with addiction, but activities like excessive gambling and distorted eating habits also fall into this category. According to the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM), addiction, including alcoholism and "process" addictions like gambling, to be "a primary, chronic disease of brain reward, motivation, memory and related circuitry."

Think for a second or two about the people you consistently spend most of your free time with. We all have a certain social groups we connect with regularly, but do we really understand the effects of these relationships? Ask Yourself “What are these relationships doing to me?” I know for years I would always connect with the same faces each week and justify the time spent together for many reasons, even though I knew deep inside the friendships were forced and not healthy: -I have been friends with them since elementary school -I work with themr

Narcissistic individuals are usually highly functioning within society, and for that reason incredibly difficult to detect. There are many narcissistic people within the community, who are well respected and revered by ‘the outside world’. It is only the individuals who were unfortunately hooked into the inner space of the narcissist who know and experience the truth of this destructive personality disorder. The common narcissistic tendency is to quickly connect and prese

Sometime during the course your life, you will experience a migraine - a headache from hades. It will announce itself by removing pieces of your vision, zigzagging together what's left of the picture, making people look pretty scary without their noses. Or it could affect your speech, slurring your words and leave you feeling confused. Lights may flash and the room may spin. You might think you're having a stroke because your leg and arm will become weak and your face and hands numb.

When I was asked to write this article, my immediate thoughts were to draw from my more than 25 years of experience as a corporate self-improvement trainer. By doing so, I intended to illustrate what the basic mindset needed to succeed in life and business would look like based on close observations of successful clients. Simply put, their actions were highly revealing with regard to their basic psychological mindset. They were: __ confident and positive rn__ open and ready to learn rn__ focused and action-oriented rn__ healthy in their attitude towards people r

Recently I walked into my chiropractor's office and asked how he was doing. "Lots of challenges," he laughed, "so lots of growth and progress." I loved his positive perspective: It's all progress, no matter what! Perspective often disappears into the mental fragmentation described by Edgar Cayce as "broken points of consciousness." The brain, speeding up to the riot of modern life, deals with this stress by multi-tasking, but soon blurs with fatigue and confusion. The peacef

Experiences like this make us start to doubt ourselves and the negative self talk begins. Negative self talk is the negative things that you tell yourself.

The expression of who we are, our personality, is housed in our mind, our life data processor. As we experience life, our brain changes as it learns and adapts to what is happening to us, and how we feel about it. If it didn't do this, we wouldn't survive. Brain matter is malleable or plastic and is shaped by our life experiences and how we process them.

Do you want to know why I think it works? I believe it works because there is physical evidence, if the brain is stimulated in a repetitive, rhythmic manner, that it will physically change, growing new blood vessels and neural pathways, and you can see all of this on a brain scan. New brain pathways produce new states of consciousness. The brain physically changes with repeated stimulation.

Let’s talk about Chi. Chi is the vital life energy that needs to be flowing smoothly and freely so that every aspect of our life will do the same. Proper Chi movement begins in the outside of the home. A well planned garden is where we invite positive energy to then move into the home. Feng Shui principles recommend the proper arrangement of elements in our environment to promote good health and prosperity. The 5 elements should be represented in a garden, and the items you choose should ultimately be pleasing to you.

You are feeling down and lonely, so you get up at night and raid the fridge. You don't grab celery and carrot sticks. Are you kidding? Most likely, you'll dive into the chocolate cake or the family sized container of rocky road ice cream or maybe you'll finish off the cheesecake. There's a reason you're not eating the veggies, and you may not even be aware of it.r

In life , in a relationship, in a work situation, we are constantly dealing with situations that can make us reactive, or trigger our instincts.

Entrainment can help you access the area of your mind that will magnify your abundance frequency, increasing your chances for manifestation of your intentions. Abundance is a feeling. Feelings have a vibrational frequency of their own. The Law of Vibration states that everything vibrates and nothing rests. Vibrations of the same frequency resonate with each other. Like vibration attracts like frequency.r

There are many different situations in life that may leave one feeling lonely. Loneliness can be described as feeling cut off from others not by choice, being without company, and being unhappy alone. People may feel lonely because they don’t have a larger social network of friends, family and/or community. Loneliness can set in after a loved one dies, after children leave the home, following a divorce, or when there is a change in employment status or conditions. It’s possible to be lonely temporarily, or it could last long term.

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.

Did you trance today? Bet you did. Everyone experiences a trance state, everyday, whether they realize it or not. Did you get lost in a good book today or a music download? Did time disappear? How about driving home the same old way? Do you remember every detail about the trip? How many lights did you have to stop at? Scary -- because you don't know do you? Did you make love?... that'll do it too. Or did you take 20 minutes and disappear into a quiet room to meditate? Did it feel like 5 minutes?
