3 Scientific Tricks to Erase Bad Habits

Hi, enjoy this nice article I just received from Jason,
Have a Bad Habit? Take the Doctor's Advice::

1. Recognize your triggers. Our habits are often prompted.
Dr. Wendy Wood, a professor of psychology and neuroscience
at Duke University, put it this way: "If you regularly eat
chips while sitting on the couch, after a while, seeing the
couch will automatically prompt you to reach for the
Doritos." The couch becomes a trigger.

With this knowledge in hand, the shame-filled snack lover
has a new weapon of attack. Instead of relying on willpower
to resist the chips, he or she can stop the urge before it
strikes by sitting in a different spot--or selling the
couch.
2. Snap yourself. Whether it's biting nails or drinking
soda, we do bad things for a reason. Though it might be
hidden, there's a reward milling around there somewhere.

Brian Wansink, Ph.D., author of Mindless Eating, offers
simple advice to take advantage of the fact. "Habits," he
says, "become that way because they provide value to a
person." To change the habit, take away the value.

Here's his tip: Put a rubber band around your wrist. Every
time you engage in your negative behavior, snap it--and
snap it hard! (Well, not too hard.) Simple as it sounds, it
works. According to Dr. Wansink, "It's a quick way to pair
non-reinforcing behavior with the behavior you want to
stop."

3. Hang in there. If you're trying to start a new habit,
for example jogging every morning, Monika Fleshner, PhD.,
has good news. If you can force it for two or three weeks,
habit will soon take over the heavy lifting.

Here's the science: When you do something such as
exercising, something that makes you feel good when you're
through, neurotransmission of dopamine is increased.

(Dopamine, if you don't already know, is associated with
the pleasure system of the brain. It produces feelings of
enjoyment, which motivates the action that triggered it and
helps to form a habit.)

The more you exercise, the more you get chemically
rewarded. After two to three weeks, your brain will
actually crave the activity. You'll be eager to exercise.

Until next time,

Jason

Ready for a breakthrough?


Breakthroughs do not happen when we are stressed. They happen when
we finally let go and stop struggling. Resisting is at the heart of
struggle. Although what we are resisting feels like it is "out
there" the resistance is really inside of us. That is, if you are
resisting anything you are really resisting yourself.
The Secret Of Delibrate Creation


When we resist something we increase the amount of struggle in our
lives and this in turn increases how much scarcity we experience.

When we resist, we make things harder than they have to be. By
making things difficult we create struggle and prolong getting
where we want to be.

We make things complicated because we are afraid to decide. It is
partly our fear of the unknown - what will happen if - and partly
our fear of making a mistake.  The excuse I hear most from my
clients is that are afraid they may make the "wrong" decision.
There is the fear that somehow they will permanently be locked into
the consequences of their choices.

But consider this for a moment. What if there are no "wrong"
choices, only choices. Even if we don't make the best choice, we
will be guided to what we need to learn. 

All great athletes understand this concept. They know they can only
anticipate so much, but have to make constant instantaneous
decisions IN THE MOMENT as each new situation arises.

So who wouldn't want to stop struggling? More people than you can
imagine.  I struggled for most of my life with the illusion of
struggle. The power of any illusion is its ability to keep us
thinking the illusion is real.

When you give up struggle it involves letting go of both the past
and the future to activate what is needed right now.

It is not your hard work that creates the results, but your ability
to give up struggling and forcing things to happen.

Flow happens when we accept and embrace "WHAT IS". Flow happens
when we release our death grip on resistance and insistence and
instead step back and take more conscious actions.

Flow is the lack of resistance. It is effortless. The magic in life
is believing in possibilities and the getting out of your own way.

Today will bring you a new awareness, a lesson or a manifestation
that you are making progress - IF YOU LOOK FOR IT!  No matter how
large or small, please record it in your Evidence Journal. It will
only take a few moments and will AUTOMATICALLY put you in the Flow.

Get From Where You Are To Where You Want To Be

Dr. Joe Vitale, motivational speaker and author, often
says: "the fastest way to get where you want is to be
happy with where you are."
The Magic Of Making Up
Believe it or not, this mindset works! It may take some
changes and soul searching on your part, but in the end,
it'll be more than worth it to adopt this positive
mentality.

While you should strive to make your dreams come true,
concentrate, also, on yourself and your journey. When
you spend less time wishing things were different and
more time accepting what you've got, you've already
found a sense of peace and happiness right there.

Here are some tips that can help you become who you want
to be right now:

=============================
1. Feel gratitude. When you concentrate on the big picture,
it's easier to exhibit feelings of gratitude. When you're
grateful, you remain positive and appreciative of every
joyful moment in life.

- Sometimes people get too caught up in a sense of
entitlement, which leads to negative feelings. Concentrating
on gratitude, instead, will get you where you desire.

=============================
2. Be optimistic. Some say that life is all about optimism.
And it's true! An optimistic attitude is one of the few
things you need to succeed.

- If you're trying to achieve a concrete goal, optimism
will help you accomplish it.
 The Magic Of Making Up

- If you're trying to change your mindset, optimism will
make the task easier.

- Optimism can be the driving force that keeps you going.

=============================
3. Exhibit the traits you desire. It was Gandhi who said
that you should be the change you want to see in the world.

With these wise words in mind, you can replace wanting with
some bold action. With some persistence and perseverance,
you can make it happen.

=============================
4. Adopt a prosperous mindset. Take a moment to determine
what prosperity means to you. Are you hoping for money,
a fulfilling career, or a relationship that lasts a lifetime?

Know what you want, then adopt the right mindset. Once you
do, you've then set yourself in the right direction toward
your goals.

=============================
5. Find the silver lining. As you go through life, you will
no doubt realize that things are not always going to go your
way. But even in tough times you need to keep your chin up.

Instead of allowing negativity to consume your life, seek out
the silver lining. This fresh attitude can be the difference
between being held hostage and achieving your goals.

=============================
6. Take small steps. When the place you're going seems
far away and unachievable, it's important to break it
down into small steps.

Give yourself an achievable goal with a realistic time
frame. Break that one down into smaller goals.

- When you avoid getting overwhelmed, you'll gain the
confidence to persevere.

You're Already There

It's a good idea to practice one of these tips at a time
until you've incorporated them into your life. Perhaps
you can spend a week perfecting one strategy and, then the
next week, add another one to your repertoire while
continuing with the first one. Soon enough, you'll be
a natural at all of them!

Once you choose a powerful and positive mindset, you'll
find that you've already achieved much of what you want.

Just remember: You already have the traits, mindset, and
lifestyle you desire, and you know that success is
inevitable, but only when you have the will to break
through the obstacles in your mind!

Your friend,

Using Repetitive Writing To Your Advantage



It seems like that mean old third grade teacher had a point when
she disciplined you by making you write down fifty times that you
wouldn't talk in class anymore.  Well, she almost got it right.

The Repetitive Writing mind technique is not as exciting as some of
the other techniques, but its benefits far outweigh the ten minutes
that it will take you to complete this task each day.  Writing out
your desires over and over again will further influence your
subconscious mind. 

This mind technique takes aspects from Affirmation Imprinting
(creating powerful, effective statements of your desired outcomes)
and Ideal Day Generation (unleashing the magic of writing down your
thoughts and feelings).

Reprogram Your Mind And Body Today For Success at
Mind Secret Exposed

Like I said earlier, the actual process of writing down your
statements will become boring very quickly.  I urge you to do it
anyway.  Is brushing your teeth fun?  Hardly, but you do it anyway
because you want your teeth to be and feel healthy (and you want to
avoid shots and drills the next time you visit the dentist).

Remember how I said that the third grade teacher ALMOST got it
right.  She, like most people using affirmations, structured the
statements incorrectly.  She focused on the negative. Like when she
told you to write the sentence "I will not talk in class" fifty
times on the blackboard.  As you already know, the subconscious
sees in images and can't visualize the word "not."  In the example
I just gave you, all it recognizes and "sees" are images of "I",
"talk", and "in class."

The well-meaning teacher thereby reinforces the exact opposite
behavior than she had intended.  And guess what happened the next
day?  You got in trouble for talking in class again!  And how did
the teacher discipline you?  You guessed it.  She had you writing
those sentences again, unknowingly reinforcing your negative
behavior.

So let's now put this information into practical application.

Action Plan for Repetitive Writing

Step 1: Pick a maximum of three behaviors you would like to change.
 Ideally, you would want to work on just one first, until you
started to see your intended desires materialize, before moving
onto other goals.  And if you really want to accelerate the
process, pick the same goal as the one you are working on with your
Affirmation Imprinting.

Step 2: Make sure that your sentence is formatted properly.  This
is the exact same step you used when you created your affirmations.
 To recap, your sentence should be personal, positive, and present
tense.

Step 3:  Buy a spiral notebook.  You will be using this to write
your sentences in.  Having a central place is much more effective
than writing on whatever scrap of paper you happen to find.
Sometimes you won't remember if you wrote your sentences out that
morning or not.  Having one place to look to find out will solve
this.

Step 4:  Write the date at the top of the page and write your
sentence over and over again on each line until it fills up the
entire page.   An average spiral notebook as between 25-30 lines
per page side.  From personal experience I find this to be the
perfect amount of times to write your sentence., but its benefits
far outweigh the ten minutes that it will take you to complete this
task each day.  Writing out your desires over and over again will
further influence your subconscious mind. 

This mind technique takes aspects from Affirmation Imprinting
(creating powerful, effective statements of your desired outcomes)

You will do this exercise first thing each morning, and then again
just before going to sleep at night.  Once your subconscious mind
fully absorbs the statement you are trying to send it and provides
you with the tools to make it a reality, only then would you start
with your next desired change.

Can Your Words Cause a Heart Attack?


Believe it or not, people who speak more about others then
themselves in conversations are less likely to suffer from heart
disease!

Larry Scherwitz, Ph.D., a research scientist from the University of
California, conducted an innovative study in which he taped the conversations
of approximately 600 men; A third of these men were suffering from
heart disease; the rest of the men were all healthy.

He counted how often they used the words I, me, and mine in
conversations. When he compared his results, he discovered that the
men who used those words the most had the highest risk for heart trouble.
Yes, self-centeredness is indeed a risk factor for coronary heart
disease.

Make it a habit to speak more about others, make it a habit
to listen to others more and refer to yourself less.

Your heart will love you for it!

How to build self-confidence

The ideas I share in the article below sound simple and almost
too obvious. Beware! Some people get fooled by this simplicity
into not taking action.

If all you do is take one simple concept and apply it you
will make progress one step at a time. Do this with each of
the tips in this report and you will enjoy new success
with other people.

And you will feel a new confidence that changes the quality
of your day to day life.

When I made the leap from feeling unsure of myself around
people and shy with new people to becoming highly confident
and persuasive it happened one step at a time. I did not
wake up one morning feeling completely transformed.

I focused on getting better and I took the time to learn new
strategies AND I applied them each day until I soon mastered
the simple concepts I introduce in this report.

You can do the same! Remember having the ability to
communicate with confidence is only a question of knowing
the right strategy.

All the very best,

How To Build Self-Confidence To Improve Your Life - 6 Key Insights
by Peter Murphy

One of the best personal attributes one can have is
self-confidence. A positive relationship with others
fosters a sense of self-worth that contributes to the image
you have of yourself.

Even if you are shy and retiring, you can develop the
self-confidence you need to propel you from obscurity into
a place of honor within your circle of acquaintances.

Self-confidence can help you develop new friends, and may
even help you get that promotion you want at work. Recent
research shows that supervisors value your attitude more
than your actual knowledge about your job.

The job can be learned, but an attitude is a personality
trait that comes naturally to those who are self-confident.
If you are not self-confident, there are techniques that
can help you build self-confidence.

1. You have to invest time to learn how to build
self-confidence. Even those who appear to be very
self-confident have faced situations where they were not
comfortable in groups and felt alone and rejected.

Observe the actions of self-confident people and make their
personality traits yours as well. You can imitate their
actions and slowly learn to develop your own personality
traits that lead to self-confidence.
The Power OF Positve Habits
2. Most people dread walking into a room filled with
strangers, either at work, conferences or parties. It is
difficult to appear to be forceful and confident, but if
you practice putting on a happy face, it will soon become
second nature for you to do so (and may even help you
actually be happy).

Attend social functions even though you'd rather stay at
home reading a book. Practice your confidence-building
techniques until they become part of your personality.

3. Appearances count for a lot in projecting an image of a
self-confident individual. When interacting with others,
don't stay glued to the wall.

Mingle with others and initiate conversations in a
friendly, interested manner. Even though you may be quaking
with insecurities inside, if you appear self-confident it
becomes easier to converse with others and will also make
you more approachable.

4. When you project a self-assured image, you'll find that
others respond in a positive manner to your overtures of
friendship.

Don't be afraid to join a group or activity that is already
in progress. You have something to contribute, and others
will know it.

5. We've all admired and envied the person who has the
"gift of gab." They appear to effortlessly engage in
conversation in any group on any subject.

These people aren't necessarily born with this ability. For
most people it is an acquired trait that is learned over a
period of time.

It is important to be in tune with others by observing
their expressions, their emotions and body language to know
whether they are approachable or genuinely want to be left
alone. Remember, though, that even a loner will appreciate
a friendly greeting.

6. Being a good conversationalist is essential when
learning how to build self-confidence. Off-the-wall
comments, while they do have their place perhaps during a
lull in the conversation, are generally avoided.

Your contributions to a conversation need to be on target
with the subject being discussed. Easing into a
conversation gradually after listening for a few minutes is
preferable to simply butting in.

Watch for an opening in the conversation to introduce
yourself and make a comment or two; don't hog the
conversation.

The process of building self-confidence can be a long,
arduous process that takes time. Be prepared for rejection
some of the time but don't take it as a personal rebuff.

Keep up your self-confident image and practice what you've
learned about building self-confidence. It will soon come
naturally to you.

Why do you want more self-confidence?

What will it give you?

Apart from better relationships at home and at work most
people want to be able to get along more easily with
people they meet.

And this is where so many people take a wrong turn.

Instead of learning advanced self-confidence techniques
which are easy to learn and straightforward to use --
they learn about positive thinking and think that is all
they need.

In the past you were more or less stuck if you wanted to
change your habitual ways of dealing with people. And it
took a lot of effort to make even a little progress. The
difference now is that there have been major breakthroughs
in the field of peak performance.

It is now possible for you to quickly and easily change
how well you interact with others and to go from having
difficulties to having great self-confidence when dealing
with people. Or to go from having good people skills to
becoming exceptional.

And this can happen faster than you think.

Use the Power of Hypnosis to Make New Friendships


I want to ask you a question.

Aside from your immediate family, is there a group of people or a close circle of friends that you have that enrich your life on a level that nothing else can compare?

If your answer is yes, then I can show you a way to enhance that area of your life even further.

But if your answer is no, then you really need to stop whatever you are doing and listen closely to what I have to say because it will forever change your life.

The word "friend" is often a very undervalued term but in reality, a true friend can be a commodity that is both extremely valuable and in certain cases, extremely rare.

Friends serve as the core foundation of all relationships. And relationships provide nourishment for the soul.

It is the natural path of the human nature to have friends. And if your life is not surrounded by loving friends, I can assure that you are missing something.

Whether it be the fulfillment that you feel as a result of the connection to another soul or the support system that a true friend becomes, if you do not have deep meaningful relationships in the form of friendship, your life will feel incomplete.

For some people however, making friends is no easy task. Many people from all over the world find themselves lonely and without friends and cannot seem to establish friendships no matter how hard they try.

Or, they don't even bother to try because they cannot get past the social barriers that serve as initial barriers toward entry to the world of friendship.

Well, my exciting news is that it doesn't have to be that way.

Because now, you can use the power of hypnosis to cultivate new friendships.

Stop struggling

We are conditioned to believe that life is supposed to be hard.
And that Struggle means you are courageous and strong.

Struggle is like taking a cross country trip in your car with the
emergency brake on. You may get there, but you are burned out at
the end, and you missed most of the fun sights on the way.

As it turns out, struggle is highly overrated.

We hear inspirational stories about people who have "struggled
against all odds" to become successful. How often do we hear
positive things about the people who are successful because they DO
NOT struggle?

Struggle is life's treadmill. The Secret Of Delibrate Creation



The need to struggle and effort to get what we want is an illusion,
and like all other illusions (or assumptions) by their very nature
they keep us from seeing the truth that's right before us.

Struggle is trying to rearrange the world so that it aligns with
the way you think it should be. It is the greatest source of
unhappiness in our world today. It happens when you focus on what
you perceive you don't have, instead of embracing what you do have.

We live in a time of striking contrasts. There is tremendous
prosperity for some and outrageous poverty for others. We have so
much available to us, yet we continue to strive for more and more.

So what's going on? We must change our paradigm and see abundance
as a mind set. Abundance is waking up to the reality that you are
already the person you yearn to become and that you already have
everything you need in this moment.

The denial or more accurately the resistance to who you really are
is what keeps you struggling. Abundance is about falling in love
with WHOM and WHERE you are. It is focusing on all that you have
and not losing yourself in all that you don't have. In the end it
is this thought that allows you to create anything you desire.

Today will bring you a new awareness, a lesson or a manifestation
that you are making progress - IF YOU LOOK FOR IT!  No matter how
large or small, please record it in your Evidence Journal. It will
only take a few moments and will AUTOMATICALLY put you in the Flow.

Let Go of the Past

Its time to let go... say goodbye to all those bad memories, past
relationships, and negative thoughts that hold you back or prevent you
from achieving tremendous success
Today I'm going to show you how to do that quickly and easily.
Many of us hang on to things that at some point have hurt
us, angered us, made us feel sad, or depressed us...
We don't want to hang on to them...
but we just keep thinking about them.
These feelings and emotions will eventually
cripple you and destroy your chance for success...
because by hanging on to them you can't
move forward, grow and achieve wonderful things.
And it gets worse, because by hanging on to the past you destroy
your bodies, your life and your future.
Sure it's easy to say: "Just let go, move forward, forget about
it, just let go." Let's face it, that's easier said than done.
Why?
Because your mind is probably filled with unpleasant or negative
situations some of which go back years or even all the way back to childhood.
Other negative experiences may have happened yesterday or 6 months ago.
Something someone did may have angered you, caused you to build up
resentment, seek revenge, etc.
When you hold on to these negative experiences you block our ability to move f
orward and you can't heal.
How many pleasant memories do you recall everyday?
Chances are you don't recall all the good things that happen.
And like many people you have a number of unpleasant experiences
that you're holding on to, and they cripple your chance for success.
These negative experiences can be anything from a
traumatic event that took place during your childhood
to a fight you had with a friend and because of that
disagreement you no longer speak to each other.
These are the kinds of things many people carry.
The more negative experiences you carry the worse life gets,
it's that simple.
Think of it this way; you're on a hiking trip and along
the way you keep picking up heavy objects, things that
really don't serve you but you want to hang on to.
After a while these objects begin to weigh on you,
they slow you down and unless you get rid of them
you'll never get to where you want to go.
You can begin to let go by simply getting your mind
to focus on something different.
It's not about saying: I let go of the pain from my fight with ---- and move on.
That will help but if you really want to start moving on then you
have to get your mind to focus on new things, then you'll
automatically let go of the negative events and situations that
have been slowing you down.
Start focusing on what you want to happen.
Let go of the past and negative situations by getting
your mind to focus on different things.
Direct your subconscious mind to help you let go by giving it new
instructions. Start letting go today - visit:
Belief Buster Kit - High Conversions! Ultimate Belief Changing Guide
Hanging on to bad memories can kill you.
Because they actually destroy your nervous system and
alter your cells.
Scientists have found that if you hold on to negative feelings
and sad emotions or depressing memories there's a
chance that you could reshape the human cell to the point
where your thoughts of the past have a negative impact on
your cells and your physical health.
Hanging on to negative events can destroy your life in ways
you're not even aware of.
Sure there have been negative things that have happened,
I'm not asking you to ignore them, acknowledge them
because they did happen.
But ask yourself these questions:
Do they serve you any purpose?
Do they help you move forward?
Do they work in your favor in any way?
If you said no to any or all of the above questions then tell yourself:
This emotion/feeling doesn't help me so I'm letting it go and
focusing on what is important.
Then begin focusing on what you want next; focus on what is
important and what can improve your life. This will get your mind
moving in a new direction.
When you begin focusing on more positive things and focus on what
you want you begin shifting that energy and start attracting
positive situations to help you create the life you want.
Your success will depend on how you train your mind and
subconscious mind to focus on what you want.
Start moving forward by choosing to let go of unwanted and negative situations or
events that you remember.
Start moving in a new direction by focusing on what you want.
Begin taking steps to create the life that you want.
Shift your energy and get your subconscious mind to help you
attract positive situations

Words That Will Change Your Life


Move closer in a bit.

Just a little.

Perfect. Good.

8 years ago I thought I was ready for the 'big time'. Put me on Oprah,
put me in magazines, "I'm great.", I'm ready."

What a joke I was looking back.

If I would have got those opportunities I'd bet dollars to your donuts
I would have been mediocre at best. At best.

"Mike, why you saying this about yourself?"

I'm just being honest and one other thing.

You see, so many people are looking to jump 'levels'.

They chase the 'greener grass' over and over again. Always looking for a better opportunity, never
realizing THEY'RE the problem. (not the opportunity)

That was me.
Make Me a Millionaire by Tim Bekker - Massive Conversions
My words said one thing. My actions, my beliefs, my habits said something else.

Yes and they also talked much louder.

What I didn't fully get 8 years ago, I get today.

Read this 2x's (or more) please.

***Every level of income demands a different you.

You can't build a $100,000 a year income inside a $20,000 a year mind.

You can't build a powerful mind inside a house filled with weak habits.

You can't build a organized life inside a chaotic and scattered mind.

You just can't.

We must grow into each level and pay the price.

Yes, we pay the price into our next level.

Our goal is to go from awkward to natural as fast as we can.

Though, unfortunately I speak to so many people today who just won't pay the price. They won't.

They give lip service to it, though their actions are invisible.

Sure, they take action for a few days. They get all excited and then things slow down and stop.

They quit. Then they 'rinse and repeat' the cycle.

No good.

Read this again.

***Every level of income demands a different you.

Ask yourself this question today:

Who do I need to BE to double my income and double my happiness?

What is 1 habit I need to erase and 1 new habit I need to replace it with?

You and I have a decision to make.

We can delude ourselves or we can decide to be our best self every day.

It's just a decision. It's just a habit.

Remember, you don't have to get it right, you just have to get it going.

Want to Guarantee Great Conversations?

Today I have an excerpt from Conversation Secrets of Popular
People, the top selling course people asked me to create.

Enjoy these tips and remember to start using them right away!


10 Mindset Shifts that Guarantee Great Conversations

1 Forget about Perfection

We need to adopt a trial and error approach to every conversation.
It can take a few false starts before a conversation takes on a
life of its own. And the only way to hit on a good topic is to test
the waters with a few different ideas. If you try an idea and it
doesn`t work that does not mean you are failing. This is not a
reason to feel self-conscious and nervous about continuing.

If the other person does not run with it simply try a different
angle to get the conversation flowing. We need an attitude of
testing, observing the reaction we get and adjusting our approach
until... we hit on a winner.

This is exactly what great conversationalists do. They don`t expect
to be psychic and to hit on a great conversation topic right away.
They know it takes trial and error to find a topic that is of
mutual interest.

And this is the opposite of what shy people often do. They demand
perfection in a situation where this is simply not possible. Then
they worry about failing in conversation, they get nervous and its
all down hill from there.

Notice however that this is largely a problem of attitude. Getting
yourself in an unresourceful state like this shuts down your
ability to think straight and even if you had lots to talk about
you end up feeling stuck and tongue tied.

This is why it so important to adopt this trial and error, watch
for feedback and then adjust outlook. Take the pressure off and aim
to always be adapting to the person you are talking to.

2 Lead with Emotion

When you introduce a conversation topic there are two ways to do
it. One way is to desperately hope the other person goes for it and
to cautiously introduce a new topic. This is very unnerving for the
other person. They observe your cautious body language, hear the
tension in your voice and see the anxiety in your face. This is no
way to engage a persons interest and attention.

The best way to start a new topic is to lead with enthusiasm and
energy. Aim to be a little more energetic and a little more
enthusiastic than the current tone of the conversation. This way
you lead the other person comfortably without freaking them out.
You see, if you jump too high you can come across as "over the top"
and worry the other person that you are too enthusiastic or even a
little crazy.
Ultimate Conversional Hypnosis
Simply speak with more energy and express yourself with enthusiasm.
Ever notice how chat show hosts talk? Watch these masters of
conversation in action and you`ll see they do exactly what I`m
talking about. They always put energy and enthusiasm into what they
are saying and this keeps people watching because surely there must
be something interesting to hear if the guy is so excited!

3 Keep it Positive

When meeting new people and making small talk with friends,
colleagues and neighbors always keep the conversation on positive
topics. Only introduce positive news, views and opinions. Never go
down a negative path with someone you do not know because this can
quickly kill the conversation and leave an awkward silence you
cannot recover from.

If you are talking to people you know well then the conversation is
more likely to open up quickly and cover both positive and negative
issues. That`s to be expected just bear in mind that if your goal
is an upbeat and fun conversation at some point you need to direct
it back onto a positive topic.

What can you do if the other person keeps complaining and talking
negatively? You can stay on the same topic and look for positive
angles to the issue if there are any or change the topic to a more
positive one. Choose! Yes make that choice rather than staying
stuck in the negativity.

4 Good Conversation is Story Telling

Popular people know one secret most people don`t know. All great
conversation comes down to great story telling. Think about it.
People who keep you listening and eager to know more do so by
telling great stories.

They don`t just give you the facts they tell you a surprising story
with ups and downs, tension and an unexpected ending. And they tell
you the story in such a way that you just have to keep listening to
find out what happened.

Let`s say you are talking to someone and you want to introduce a
new topic. You want to test out the idea of talking about vacations
in Europe. Forget about introducing facts and vacation schedules.
Forget about mentioning the negatives involved with travel. Instead
tell a story about something unusual or interesting that happened
to you, a friend or a celebrity while on vacation in Europe.

Start the story with a good opening... "We`re looking at going to
Europe for a vacation but we`re undecided after all the crazy
things that happened last year when we were in Rome." Say this with
a smile, then pause, to see if the other person grabs the bait.
Very often, he`ll ask a question to find out more now that his
curiosity is aroused.

On the other hand if, as you pay close attention to the reaction of
the other person, there is no apparent interest it might be good to
quickly move onto a different topic. Change the direction of the
conversation by saying something like... "On the other hand we
might do something different for a change. Can you recommend any
good destinations a little more local?"

By doing this you are staying on the vacation theme but adjusting
your approach to get a response. Then, when you hit on a topic of
interest remember to tell stories in an engaging way - save the
best until last so that curiosity keeps the other person listening.

Law of attraction was only te beginning

Do you remember that first spark of hope you felt when you watched
The Secret? I clearly remember the desire that filled my heart,
knowing that - Yes, I can make my dreams come true

- FINALLY!

But how many of you soon saw that hope dwindle into frustration?
How many of you (and be honest now) started muttering things like:

- "It seems to work for other people, but I just can't get it
right."

- "I'm frustrated that sometimes I can get it to work, but
sometimes I can't. What's the trick?"

- "Why am I having so much trouble?"

- "I think the universe is against me."

- "I'm trying very, VERY hard but still nothing is happening!"

Don't worry, you're not alone. About 97% of people also couldn't
make the Law of Attraction work for them the first time round.
Think about it, just like anything else, you have to practice many
times before you see success. A child doesn't learn
to walk without falling over a couple of times, right?
Attractor Genie - Law Of Attraction Software
But in practice, everything is easier said and done. When you're
frustrated, it's hard to stay positive. And it's especially
harder to stay positive when the evidence all around you is screams
negativity like the unstable economy.

And do you know what happens when you fail to stay positive? That's
right - you start attracting negative things in to your life.

So how can you make the Law of Attraction work for you - without
getting frustrated? How do those who successfully implement the
Law of Attraction do it with such confidence and finesse?

Well, here's three quick tips so you will never feel frustrated or
tired of begging from the universe, because you know how to start
manifesting like a pro.

1. Allow Yourself To Receive

Just like a lost child who approaches a police officer and asks,
"Excuse me Sir, can you tell me how to go to the post office?

Can you? Can you? Can you? Can you? Can you?" Well, if the child
goes on and on asking, the police officer can't even give an
answer, right?

Well, it's the same thing with your mind. If the only thing your
mind is doing is transmit, transmit, transmit, the universe -- which
is trying to respond --can't give you a single thing because you're
not allowing yourself to receive!

So, have the confidence in yourself and stop exhausting yourself by
running around person to person begging for riches, and then
wondering why nobody is dropping a penny in your cup

(Hint: It's because you're running away too fast for them before
they can even reach for their wallets).

Just think of your desires and leave it out there, go away, and
trust that your cup will be filled with gold coins (or whatever it
is you asked for) when the time is right.

2. Be Patient With Yourself

Receiving takes time.

Sadly, many people give up just a couple of steps before the finish
line because they've decided that if it's not working by now,
it's never going to work at all. Worse still are those who throw in
more and more energy because they think that with more resources,
the results will come faster.

This is like expecting 9 mothers to conceive and deliver a baby in
1 month. You also can't bake cookies in half the time by doubling
the temperature. You'll incinerate those cookies to ashes!

In simple terms: Everything in this world has a natural development
time, and this fact will not change no matter what resources you
throw at it.So relax and be patient. Remember that you too, as
part of the universe, are also governed by the laws of the universe,
and you cannot change the natural development time.

If you remember this, you will less likely work yourself up into
frustration, or worse, push yourself into a downward spiral
of negativity.

3. Support and Educate Yourself

Like the child who is learning how to walk, you need support. You
also need to guidance on how to do it, and also the role models
to look up to.

Many people give up because they think that "The Secret" is the "be
all and end all" solution. Well, it's NOT. "The Secret" is just a
small portion. It was never intended, and has never been,
the whole answer.

Bob Proctor from "the Secret" is going to reveal
"forgotten laws" that take the power of the "Secret"
to a whole new level and take YOU to a new level
of success in 2011 and 2012. It is like having your own personal life coach
for success.

"The Habit of "Zoning Out" and "Zoning In


Here is one of my favorite positive habits that will instantly
motivate you and make you feel happy.....you will love it!

Make a list of the songs that you love the most; songs that make
you feel happy, joyous, excited, full of energy, and young at heart.

Make a CD of these songs or create a playlist for your
I-Pod.

Play these songs at a designated
time, such as on your way to or from work, during a workout, or
just when you want to be motivated. If you have an I-Pod just
create a play list with your favorite "feel good" songs.
Flavia Del Monte's Full-body-licious Workout System
Try and get into the habit of "Zoning out" and "Zoning in" with
these songs.

What does that mean?

Here is an example:

When I am working out on a cardio machine at the gym I play
songs I love on my I-Pod and I "Zone out" of everything around me.
I concentrate more and more on the music...I am zoning out of
my surroundings, and zoning into the music and the feelings
I get from the music.

This is also a great stress reliever.

I visualize myself as getting stronger, I get into the music so much
that I sometime forget where I am....I have completely zoned
out of my surroundings.

As you listen to songs that you love, your mood will be elevated.

Picture yourself as succeeding in what is most important to you
right now.

Do this over and over again. You will find that
music triggers will automatically motivate you and give you a
feeling of  power and well-being.

I have been able to instantly
place myself in a better mood on cue by playing songs that make
me feel good.

Visualise yourself doing!

Being able to visualise enjoyably doing the activities that will lead to you achieving your goal is a strong predictors of achieving your goal. 

The following approaches will often help you achieve what you want: 

1) Set your outcome or goal. It’s useful if you can imagine having achieved it in at least three senses. What would it look, sound and feel like to achieve it? Would there be any new sounds and smells?

2) Specifically write down some of the benefits of achieving of achieving it

3) Imagine that you’ve achieved it, working back from that position in the future, identify the key milestones between there and your current position. While there is no specific correct number of milestones, from three to six can work well. Write them down. Remember that as you get nearer to your goal you are likely to have more accurate information and it’s likely to be appropriate to change them.Checkout Hypnotherapy & NLP Certification Courses


4) If you have strongly supportive colleagues tell them about it. If not it’s probably wiser not to. (Suggestion, if you don’t have strongly supportive colleagues, change at least some of them!)

5) Similarly break the first milestone down to a number of actions or behaviours, that are easy to complete, Imagine yourself completing the first action easily and comfortably at a specific and appropriate time in the future. Notice what you see, hear, feel, and if relevant what you taste and smell. Imagine it both from your perspective and the perspective of somebody watching you. If it seems difficult in any way break the activity down into a smaller ‘chunk’. For example of you had to phone somebody as well as imagining the whole call, imagine simply dialling the number in a positive state. Repeat that small ‘chunk’ in your mind until you’re genuinely happy doing it. Commit time for the activity in your diary. 

When you mentally rehearse the activity in the right way, you’ll find yourself taking the action easily and to the best of your ability at the appropriate time.

6) Celebrate having achieved your first action in any way that doesn’t negatively impact your end goal. Review your plan if necessary and plan, visualise and complete your next action.
Checkout Hypnotherapy & NLP Certification Courses
Remember that it’s taking enough of the right actions that will lead to you achieving your outcome. Enjoyably imagining that you have reached your outcome is very important as part of the planning process. However other than that it doesn’t help you get there. Imagining taking the required actions makes it more likely that you will take those actions and that that you will perform them to a higher standard. 


Attract a million dollars? Is it even possible

What is the foolproof formula that you can follow
for attracting virtually any amount of money?

You can even use this formula to become --
dare I say it -- a millionaire.

Don't believe me?

Skeptical?

I don't blame you.

But I know you have an open mind,
so let me explain...

My formula will not work for you if you
have any limiting beliefs about your ability
to attract money, about your own level of
deservingness -- or about money itself.

You probably know what I mean. If you
don't believe something is possible, it's
not likely you'll even try to make it happen.

But what if you took care of those beliefs?

What if there was a way for you to not
only clear the beliefs, but get help in
following my proven formula?

I talk about some of this in my new book,
"Attract Money Now," which I gave to you.

But now I want to accelerate your results.

How?

Money Beyond Belief by Dr. Joe Vitale and Brad Yates  

First, the foolproof formula is called...

            The Million-Dollar Secret

It's in my book, "The Attractor Factor."
It has five steps...and here they are:

Step #1: Know what you don't want.

When you know what you don't want, you're
determining what is no longer acceptable in your
life.  You may not want any debt in your life or
having creditors calling you anymore.

Step #2: Select what you do want < your
intention.

This is key.  You need to set an intention.  And
it has to be detailed and very specific.
Something like, "I want to make an extra $10,500
dollars per month, starting next month."  Or, "I
want to attract an extra $25,000 in the next 90
days."  Or, even something like, "I want to
purchase a Silver 2009 Panoz, Esperante GT with a
4.6L V-8 and 5-speed manual transmission."
The more detail - the better.

Step #3: Get clear of interference between you
and your intention.

In this step, you have to get clear of limiting
beliefs.  If you have a little voice in your head
telling you that you cannot earn a certain amount
of money or that you're not deserving, you
definitely have limiting beliefs that you need to
clear.  This is where most people have the
biggest challenge.  (I can help with this - give
me a minute.)

Step #4: Feel what it would be like to have, do,
or be what you want.

It's very important that you get emotionally
aligned with whatever you want.  It could be more
money, a new car, better health, a better job or
anything else.  The key is to visualize it and
feel what it would feel like to have it *already*
in your possession.

And finally...

Step #5: Let go as you act on your intuitive
impulses and allow the results to manifest.

Here you just have to trust that the universe
will help you attract whatever you want.  Put out
your intention and let the divine help you - with
no doubts or preconceived notions.  (This is
vital.) You *must* take action, of course,
but not just any action.

Of the five steps listed above, Step #3 is what
holds most people back.

You absolutely must get clear of interference
between you and your intention.  Most of the
time, people, maybe even you, have
unconscious limiting beliefs about money.

Once you conquer these unconscious limiting
beliefs, and get clear, money can flow into your
life at breakneck speed.  The Million-Dollar
Secret Formula will then work for you in ways you
cannot even imagine yet.

I've said it time and time again, "Getting clear
is truly The Missing Secret to making the Law
of Attraction work for you all the time."

Obviously, once you clear those hidden
unconscious blocks/beliefs, nothing will stand in
the way of your success.  The roadblocks will be
gone.

But how do you get clear?

Right now people just like you, are clearing
themselves of limiting beliefs about money,
relationships, career, health, and even
happiness. So...

If you find yourself concerned about your
finances, the economy, your relationships, oil
and gas prices, global warming, or otherwise just
feeling like there's no hope...I want you to
realize that you can clear these unconscious
limiting beliefs quickly.
Money Beyond Belief by Dr. Joe Vitale and Brad Yates  

If you want to conquer unconscious limiting
beliefs fast, you need to follow a proven system
that works consistently, day after day, year
after year.

Communication Confidence Report

7 Simple Tips For Cultivating Confidence
by Peter Murphy


Today we take a look at confidence, that elusive quality
everyone seems to want more of. And if you think you are the
only one who needs and wants more confidence you are mistaken.

The most successful people I know are always aiming higher and
demanding more of themselves. And without confidence in their
ability to pull off the next project they grind to a halt
until they can get into the right state of mind.

Read on to discover 7 simple tips for getting the confidence
you want...

1 Spend time each day with confident people.

Their energy and inner strength is so inspiring that you will
find yourself feeling more empowered just by listening to them
talk.

And you can get tips from them. All you need to do is ask!
Even one good idea could point you in a whole new direction
you would not have otherwise considered.

2 Find a mentor.

Nearly all successful people have a mentor. You too need
someone who has already done what you are working to achieve
who is willing to advise you.

This person will help you to succeed even more quickly than
you can imagine. Remember, two minds are better than one.

When you have someone who believes in you and you have a plan
you believe in -- your confidence will soar.

3 Understand that confidence is only a feeling.

Have you ever felt confident? If you have ever felt confident
in any situation then you can feel confident again in the
future.

How? By re-accessing that confident feeling. This is something
that is worth doing every day. Spend 15 minutes a day reliving
occasions in your life when you felt confident. Imagine it all
in rich detail and pay very close attention to the feelings of
confidence.

After only a few days, feeling confident will become a good
habit.

4 List your reasons to be confident

Becoming aware of why you can be confident will help you get
back on track. Make a list of at least 50 reasons why you can
be confident today. Include previous successes, your skills
and qualities, your support network and your goals. Put down
everything that pops into your mind.

After you have done this you will have tapped into the power
of consistency. You will be under pressure to be consistent
with your own logic that stated you can be confident.

5 Make a public declaration

Tell someone whose opinion you value that you will be
confident at a particular event. Your desire to impress this
person will cause you to do all that you can to be at your
very best.

And when you demand more of yourself you will be amazed at
what you can do. You will start finding solutions to problems
that left you stuck and you will seek advice from people who
can help you.

6 Preparation makes perfect

Have you ever watched a top sportsperson in action and
wondered to yourself at how easy she makes it look? Or
listened to your favorite music CD and felt inspired by the
talent of the singer?

Think.

How did these superstars get to the top? Practice,
practice and more practice. I read an article about Pavarotti,
the opera singer, and he said he practices daily and he still
learns something new about his voice each day!

When you spend more time honing your skills your confidence
will soar because you will know with certainty that you can
and will perform when the curtain goes up.

7 Self comparison is key

Compare your progress in life with your previous results. Look
to the success of others to learn and not to measure your own
success.

When you put your focus on the daily improvement of your own
skills and abilities you can and will grow very quickly. And
your confidence will surge.

Confidence without competence is a dangerous combination.

Make it easy for yourself and only engage in self-comparison
when you are assessing your progress. By doing this you will
make it easier to keep at it when the going gets tough and
your competence will grow day by day.

And I have already given you two very powerful, practical
ways to feel super confident whenever you need to be at
your very best.
