Moreover, by using these tips you will be able to make your date to smile often. So, if you have to go on a date with someone that you've previously met on the internet continue reading this article.

Most of the time, people who are doing this thing are amazed by their date's profile or photos. I'm sure that if you already have an account on an online dating site you have your mail inbox full of different messages. If you are a newbie in online dating I bet that when you think of the first date that you are going to have with someone you are nervous. Where to meet, what should your wear, how to talk? These are all question that are coming into your mind. Relax! Take a deep breath! You have nothing to fear about. Just think that you will have the best date of your life and believe in yourself.

The first thing that you have to do in order to make sure that you are going to have an awesome date is to find out if your date is really interested in your. Send him/her an email or phone him/her and make an invitation to a coffee or brunch. Don't ask your date directly if he/she is interested in you. If your invitation will be accepted it means that you are going to a date with a possible partner. Fix the time and place for meeting.

How you can make sure that you will pick the right place? Well, when it comes about this detail you have to know that there are many options available. You can decide to go to a public place such as a restaurant, cinema, bar or pub or you can decide to invite your date at your house. However, if you opt for a cinema, you have to know that this is not always a good thing to start with because you will not be able to talk with your partner. It's not comfortable at all to watch a movie with a stranger.

Before you leave your house, don't think that the person you are going to meet will be your future lover or husband. Wake up! You are going on a first date, not for marriage! Also think that you will meet a stranger whom you don't know too many things about. I truly recommend you to think of your date as one of your friends. In this way you can be sure that you are going to have a fantastic date!

The last thing that you have to keep in mind is represented by the fact that you will have to be on time on your first dare. You should have the same expectation from your partner.

How To Use Christian Anger Management

How To Use Christian Anger Management

by Broyde McDonald

Christian anger management principles are found all over the Bible. The books of Psalms and Proverbs are loaded with them. With these guidelines, Christians are expected to live and be examples of peace and orderliness so that the entire world would be a better place to be.

There are not a lot of instructions, but in different places they are worded differently. However the meanings are left unchanged.

We will look quickly at six of them.

Keep away from anger

Reading the Bible, you will realize why this is included in the Christian anger management plan. The two big reasons are that anger leads to sin, and anger has the effect of putting a person in danger of the judgment of God.

Let things go

Let people get away with things. If they have caused you any damages just fix it and leave them up to God to get even with. Under his power they will reap what they sow. However, forgiving others their trespasses against us is a big part of the plan in which we expect to have our trespasses forgiven.

It is still sin

The situation is that someone has angered you and you go and cuss them out or do some other thing to soothe your hurt feelings.

The truth is that something wrong in God's eyes has just taken place. The fact that these people bothered with you first and made you angry does not matter. You are expected to be cool all the time, and losing your cool can get you into trouble.

Pray

Prayer is the beginning of all Christian effort. Many things are done in the world without prayer, but for something to be recognized as a Christian thing prayer has to be involved. Praying is the way that a Christian gets God to be a part of things, and without prayer it is not guaranteed that God will be a part of it.

Don't keep it for long

When angry, the first thing to do is to get rid of the angry feeling. The given instructions are that the Christian's anger is to be put away before the sun sets for the day.

This does not mean that you are to do what you can to stop the sun from moving. It is saying that before the night comes the Christian is better served by having already calmed himself from his anger while the sun was still up.

Past Regression - A Life Enhancing Process!

Past Regression - A Life Enhancing Process!

As more people today begin to believe in reincarnation. It is hard to decide the best way to start on the journey of remembering your past lives.

A very good starting point is keeping a journal. Later on it will help you to identify patterns when you refer back to it. It is important to record all your thoughts, even over things that seem irrelevant. Because it is generally believed that emotions play a significant role in linking us to past lives, it is also important that you record yours in your journal as well. This could be anything, such as an irrational fear of heights.


To start with you should begin your journal by describing yourself thoroughly. Write about your likes and your dislikes. Describe what food you enjoy, what phobias (if any) that you have. If you find that you feel a particular affinity with a time period in history, or with a certain culture or even climate, write about that as well. Do not forget to write about what your talents are, and what you enjoy doing. Even writing about animals that you feel drawn to, or perhaps afraid of, can prove useful. Describe your personality and if you experience things like deja vu. If you do, record your experiences when you have them.


Your dreams also give clues in your past life. But keep in mind your dreams contain things from your present life as well but write it down anyway.


Another way to go is Past life Regression.


This involves a visit to a professional past life regression therapist. They are trained to guide you through the regression and then with your help interpret what information that came through. This technique involves the professional doing hypnosis. Sometimes this can be done by self-hypnosis.


Many people use Meditation as a way to find out about their past lives.


When meditating there is usually no professional assisting and so many people find it difficult to trust the information they get during their sessions. But trusting your feelings as well as your instincts is necessary with meditation.


While meditation may feel like daydreaming to you, something of importance may come through as images start to flow through. Your journal maybe of help here too.


Things to help you in your meditation maybe things like music, a visual focus point or burning a pleasant smelling incense or a combination of them. Prerecorded guided meditation tapes maybe what you need or a soothing sound like water will be of help. If that isn't helping this may.


Binaural Beats


With Binaural Beats you listen to different frequencies in each ear that help you to attain the same meditative state that Zen monks can reach. You should choose somewhere quiet and free from any kind of distractions and disturbances. Somewhere that enables you to sit or lie down comfortably.


It is important that you are relaxed and that you are not distracted by thoughts about everyday things. Simply acknowledge the thought so that it does not keep recurring, and so that you do not forget it, then put it out of your mind. Remember that meditation does not just happen, it takes practice before you will reach a true meditative state.


Sometimes meditation can help with that which you are confronting in your current life. Many discover that the people around them are people they shared a past life with. Although this might seem strange a simple bit of research can confirm or deny the information gleaned from the regression meditation.


Reincarnation is a belief held by many of the world's religions. Some believe that we experience the consequences of that which we did in our past life or lives, whether good or not, in our current life. It is called Karma and is not that different from regression, in that once you have discovered information about your past life it can help you when faced with issues in your present life. It is all about learning from our mistakes in the past, and that can only enhance and enrich your current life experience.


Although it may be difficult for you it is important that you keep an open mind to enable you to accept whatever information about your past life that comes through. This information can be very beneficial to your present life, because you are able to learn from the past mistakes that you made and as a result enjoy a fuller, richer current life.


Sometimes it happens that the subconscious might be blocked but it can be unblocked successfully to receive the information that comes through past life regression. Despite the fact that some people experience a blocked subconscious, the experts still maintain that past life regression can be very beneficial to the present life. But besides the unblocking of the subconscious, there are other benefits as well.


Practically speaking, past life regression enables you to identify those things you did in a past life that resulted in negative consequences and not repeat those same mistakes. It is important for the well-being of your present life that you address the issues from the previous ones.


Another way that past life regression can be beneficial is that from it you may discover that you have talents and/or abilities that you did not know of and that will aid you in enjoying your current life that much more. It can explain talents or abilities that you may have that you never understood before. For instance, perhaps you are good at singing while the rest of the people in your family are tone deaf! The fact that you were a singer in your past life will explain why you ave that ability in your present life.


In short, because regression can give you the opportunity to understand yourself better and so make better choices, it is a process that is worth more investigation.

Why Is Chakra Meditation So Important?

Why Is Chakra Meditation So Important?

Chakras are the focal points for universal energy which flows through us, whether we know it or not. Your chakras have a profound influence on your life whether this effect is good, such as when they are properly aligned for energy flow or whether this effect is for the worse, like when they are blocked, preventing the flow of energy or are out of alignment.


Chakra is a Sanskrit word that means energy, and while its roots are Hindu, energy is not partial to a religion. Energy is in fact universal and every single person on this Earth has these energies. The chakra is really the vortex that this energy flows through and manifest physically. The chakras are the channels by which universal energy can flow in and out of our aura.


Chakras which are correctly aligned have a wealth of benefits for the mind, body and the spirit, which is why chakra meditation is such a good thing to learn. You will be able to perform chakra meditation if you know where your chakras are and what each chakra does.


Situated in important areas of your body like the heart and the top of the head, the chakras influence the organs which surround them and they also play a part in proper energy flow. The number of chakras in your body is seven.


The first chakra is the Root Chakra and it is located at the base of the spine. This chakra is related to the body and our individual ability to master our body. So your general health, constitution and security are all tied to the Root Chakra. This is also the chakra that helps us realize how we are connected to the world around us.

Your fourth chakra is the Heart Chakra, which can be found at the center of your chest. This chakra is representative of your feelings of compassion, love and understanding. Love which goes beyond the physical aspect is part of this chakra. Green is the color of this chakra.


Fifth is the Throat Chakra, which sits between the top of the sternum and your chin. This is the chakra which is in charge of communication and helps you to understand that honesty, expressed through speech can be a source of truth and wisdom. This chakra's color is sky blue.


The chakra that is located in our forehead above our eyes is the Brow Chakra. This is commonly referred to as the third eye. Our perception of insight, imagination, intuition and clairvoyance stem from this chakra. The ability to focus on your realization of your own soul is found in this chakra. Divine wisdom and peace of mind is also found here. The color for the Brow Chakra is indigo.


Your seventh chakra is the Crown Chakra, which as you may have guessed, is situated at the top of your head. This chakra is representative of your mind and your spirit. The Crown Chakra is responsible for your ability to contemplate your own consciousness and your place in the wider universe. This chakra is directly related to the higher self. The color of the Crown Chakra is violet.


If you know the function and the location of each of your chakras, you will be able to practice chakra meditation more effectively. You can use meditations which work on individual chakras, or ones which align them as a whole.

Chakra Balancing And Meditation The Essential Tools

Chakra Balancing And Meditation The Essential Tools

According to Hindu thought, chakras are the energy centers of the human body. These are the key points at which our life force move through the body and are what keeps our body and mind functioning properly and in harmony with each other. While you can't see your chakras, the major chakras are closely associated with the major parts of your endocrine system (which is tangible).

Our chakras are responsible for controlling the flow of energy into and out of our bodies. We depend on this constant flow of energy both internally and between our bodies and our environment. To keep in good health, our chakras must be in a balanced state.


The seven major chakras are ties to the function of a particular gland in our endocrine system. Our chakras are tied to everything we go through; each feeling, sensation and experience we have are related to our chakras.


Any kind of stress, whether mental, physical or emotional can negatively affect the balance of our chakras. We can have a loss of energy, even illness as a result of this imbalance. This is a clear sign if there ever was one that our chakras are out of balance.


Chakra balancing must be done regularly to maintain good health, just as regular maintenance is important to the proper functioning of a machine.


Importance of Chakra Balancing There are many different ways to balance your chakras; others are always being developed to help people reach a state of perfect balance in their chakras. This is the goal of those who want to have a more healthy, happy and productive life.


To begin with, people must understand that each chakra has its own different resonant frequency which corresponds to naturally occurring frequencies. These frequencies which facilitate the energy reception and transmission functions of the chakras; otherwise referred to as qi, chi or prana.


When we are experiencing physical illness, our chakras are not non-functioning, but are out of balance with each other. The resulting imbalance in energy flow can create all manner of problems, including exacerbating our state of ill health. Other factors which can cause a imbalance in our chakras are stress, poor diet and lack of exercise.


Though they may be out of synch and not function at their best from time to time, their balance can be restored.


Tools of Chakra Balancing: The most commonly used ways of restoring chakra balance are light, sound, crystals and gems, aromatherapy and color.


Colors: Commonly used colors and their corresponding chakras are red (the root chakra), orange (the sacral chakra), yellow (the solar plexus chakra), green and turquoise (the heart chakra), blue (the throat chakra), violet (the crown chakra) and white for any of the seven primary chakras.


Crystals and Gems: Going back thousands of years, the laying of crystals, gems and stones on the body where the chakra points are is another method of regaining balance of the chakra system. Considering that each chakra resonates to a particular color it follows that by laying a stone of the same color to which the chakra resonates on the area of the chakra, they will also be able to achieve the necessary balance for the physical body to be able to heal.


Gems and crystals reflect light in their colors; the play of light through these gems can restore balance to the chakras by putting this light into the body at the appropriate points.


Light: Light therapy employs light not only on the eyes, but also on the reflex points and the meridian points of acupuncture to restore chakra balance. The broad spectrum of light is very beneficial here, including both visible and invisible frequencies, including those corresponding to the chakras.


Aromatherapy: Aromatherapy is the use of scented candles, fragrant massage oils and bath soaps in order to capitalize on the healing properties and physiological effects of the chemical ingredients of plants? essential oils that make up the base product. Essential oils are able to clean, set free and restore an individual's stability of thoughts and emotions because they can affect a person's mental, emotion and spiritual aspects. Aromatherapy is generally employed to relieve stress, promote physical and mental relaxation, combat fatigue and depression and as an aid to meditation.


Sound: Sound therapy creates chakra-resonant frequencies and produces a sensation of well being using tuning forks, soft music, Tibetan singing bowls and other means. Sound has natural soothing and chakra balancing properties and appeals to emotional response as well. A soothing, beautiful sound fosters relaxation and balance while a harsh one causes an anxious state. Sound can speed up healing and promote a higher state of consciousness.


Chakra balancing up until recently was a quite time consuming process, but recent advances in audio technology such as listening to binaural beat frequencies, subliminal messaging and self-hypnosis meditation recordings have made the process of chakra balancing far easier and quicker for most people.

The Economic Factors Behind the Boise Real Estate Market

The Economic Factors Behind the Boise Real Estate Market

 

Hopes soared on reports that the recession was coming to a close as the United States economy posted a healthy 5.9% gain and businesses invested to boost GDP. Boise real estate always depends on the national economic trend, so good news will help out.

It was estimated that Gross Domestic Product would increase at a clip of 5.7%, instead it grew at a rate of 5.9% according to the Commerce Department, based on fourth quarter financial numbers. This is the fastest pace the GDP has grown since the middle of the year in 2003. The fastest quarter was the third quarter which posted a robust 2.2% growth rate. The Boise real estate market will see some benefit from these increases, plus other local market factors.

In the winter period the GDP posted fore-casted growth of 5.7%, which indicates goods and services production totals, according to Reuters. With the recovery seemingly in full swing in the last few months of 2009, our nation seemed to be emerging from the most severe financial crisis since the Great Depression, but that growth has been stymied somewhat in the first quarter of 2010. With inventory at a recent high, many businesses took advantage of the slowdown to get rid of inventory and purchase needed software and equipment which lifted 4th quarter numbers, despite reduced consumer spending and real estate numbers. This wan't just a national trend either, as the Boise real estate market saw very similar changes in volume as well.

Stripping out inventories, the economy expanded at an annual rate of 1.9%, rather than the 2.2% pace estimated last month, indicating growth was not being driven by demand. Inventory sales amounts were alarmingly reduced from $33.5 billion to around $16.9 billion in the final quarter. There was a signification reduction from July to September of $139 billion. The change in inventories alone added 3.88 percentage points to GDP in the last quarter. This was the biggest percentage contribution since the fourth quarter of 1987. As home materials companies liquidated inventory, Boise real estate reaped some benefit from that.

For the whole of 2009, the economy contracted 2.4%, the biggest decline since 1946, the department said. In the final three months of 2009, consumer spending increased at a 1.7% rate, rather than the 2% pace reported in January. In the preceding quarter, the federal government "cash for clunkers" program lifted GDP by 2.8%, which was obviously a short term fix for a sector of the economy. In the fourth quarter, consumer spending - which normally accounts for about 70% of U.S. economic activity -- contributed 1.23 percentage points to GDP. As the national economy contracted, the Boise real estate market contracted right along with it.

With spending on commercial real estate heading down quickly, the fact that the growth happened at all was due mostly because of equipment purchases and investment in software necessary for business growth and improvement. Estimates for business investment came in at 2.9%, but rose dramatically to 6.5%, much higher than expected. Posting a decrease in the three month leading up to that, of 5.9%. With everyone watching the housing markets, projections of 5.7% were down graded to about 5% in the fourth quarter. In the third quarter it had posted a tremendous 18.9%. Both exports and imports grew much stronger than initially estimated in the fourth quarter, leaving a trade gap that contributed 0.3 percentage point to GDP growth, the data showed. As GDP indicates our national economic states, Boise real estate eagerly awaits is significant turn around.

Expressing Anger Profitably

Expressing Anger Profitably

Anger is emotion that everybody has in varying degrees, and one thing we all do is express anger. The problem is however that we all do not express anger in ways that are good for us and the people around us. This article talks about the good and the bad parts of expressing anger, and how you can do it so that your anger is not a problem.

Three expressions...

Anger is typically expressed in three different ways. Some people express it outwardly; others people inwardly, and still other control and calm it down.

Outward expression is when you scream, make insults or threats, become sarcastic and/or become violent.

Outward expression is not a good form of handling anger and leads to an assortment of different difficulties. The most notable ones being that it makes your anger levels go up, and when you use the outward form, you are likely to create a situation where you earn an angry reaction from the people you are dealing with.

Anger that is expressed inwardly is different but it too is dangerous. Inwardly expressed anger leads to the formation of rage and major illnesses like high blood pressure and depression.

A third type of expression is called controlled anger. This is the good form of anger expression. It is better because it lowers the chances of you getting sick from anger. It is also the form that is least likely to cause another person to become aggressive toward you.

How To Express Anger Correctly...

If you want to get into the habit of expressing anger in a useful way, you will need to get into controlling yourself between the time that you start to feel angry and the time that you respond to your anger.

You can find a number of anger management strategies that will help you to do this, but I can recommend two things to you to do. First stop what you are doing and take some deep breaths. Count to ten or more until you are calm and then give a gentle answer.

Second, if you find that you have a problem, or if you are about to lose something important to you from being angry, then do an anger management class. These classes are surveyed to be more than 95% effective when it comes to changing attitude and behavior. And another good thing about them is they do their work in a short amount of time. They only need two months to work.

What To Do Before Going To A Facial Salon

What To Do Before Going To A Facial Salon

You can see facial salons everywhere. They sprout like mushrooms, dotting virtually every corner making it a bit of a challenge to select the best one. While a friend's testimonial can help you narrow down your choices or even help you go into a good facial salon, sometimes you are given with no option but to sample a particular salon (with fingers crossed), hoping you'll come out blissful and satisfied. After all, experience still is the greatest teacher.

What are the things to look into when choosing a facial salon? Consider the following:


Cleanliness is close to godliness. You've certainly listened of this ancient proverb for possibly a thousand times now, but this certainly isn't just another line on your proverbs collection. Hygiene is the first thing to deal with when looking for a facial salon. Check the surrounding area if it's right for such kind of establishment. Moreover, make sure that this certain facial salon sticks to the sanitary ordinances set by the ministry of health. The cleanliness of the equipment utilised in a facial salon is as important as the treatment itself. By all means, ensure that all facial instruments are properly cleaned before and after use. Furthermore, you have to be sure on how the therapists in a certain facial salon keep cleanliness. Are they sticking to strict sanitary standards? Do they change their gloves with every patient? Do they rinse their hands before touching your face or any facial instrument? Do they put on clean scrub suits? Is the area itself clean?


Quality Products. Most facial salons are exclusive distributors of particular skin care products. Usually these products are tested and proven to be competent in detoxifying and cleansing your skin. Even so, some facial salons produce their own products. Shy away from cheap and synthetically-produced products as generally they fail through quality control standards, hence, more probably to do harm to your skin.


Skin Consultation. A good facial salon should offer this service prior to any treatment. This is the part where you discover and understand your skin condition. The therapist should be able to tell you your skin type and evaluate the needs of your skin. Recommendations for what type of products to apply are dependent from the outcome of the consultation.


Trained and professional staff. A good facial salon should invest in training their therapists. No matter how good a certain treatment sounds like or how effective the products applied, they're only as good as the hands that utilized them. Trained and professional therapists look at your concerns with credibility. A qualified workforce is a big asset of a facial salon to ensure the clients with the best results by taking into consideration the primary needs of your skin.


The price is right. Let's face it, we all want quality result that doesn't compromise our budget. And so it goes that quantity doesn't always mean quality or vice-versa. When choosing a facial salon, make sure that their services are fairly priced. If you could get a very nice treatment for a very affordable price, then great! Still, you must also consider the kind and quality of products being utilized. Sometimes, it's also more advisable to go for a more costly treatment that promises great outcomes than go for a low-cost treatment only to be frustrated with the outcome.


Customer Feedback. Find out about a facial salon you have in mind by asking other customer who have been there. You can get different feedback from them, for sure, and that should aid you make up your mind whether it's worth your dough or not. Consider all the pros and cons.

Life-Changing Questions - Question Number One - What Are Your Own Daily Judgements?

Life-Changing Questions - Question Number One - What Are Your Own Daily Judgements?

May I ask you a question? Well, actually, I'm going to ask you eight powerful, life-changing questions in this chapter. These questions are designed to make you take an honest look within yourself and the life you have created for yourself thus far. When answered truthfully, these questions will create a radical shift within you and will propel you forward towards your goals and dreams - the life you were meant to live. Questions are very important. They require you to get silent within, to listen to the inner voice of reason. The questions that you ask yourself on a continual basis control your destiny. They control your future. Questions create decisions, and your decisions control the actions that you take on a daily basis. So, without further adieu

Question #1 - What are your daily conclusions? The daily choices that you make either move you forward to success or keep you stuck in a mediocre existence.God wants you to prosper! Are you living up to your full potential? Are you following your own targets and wishes, or are you allowing the masses to make your options for you? Your own daily options are either helping you or hurting you. REALLY ask your self "Are the judgements that I've been making on a daily basis keeping me stuck in a rut" or "Are my daily conclusions helping me to create the life of my wishes?"Your daily conclusions encompass every area of your life not just your finances. Take a moment to think about the daily judgements that you make for your self : spiritually, socially, mentally and physically. Do you take care of your body, mind, and spirit? When's the last time you exercised? I exercise every single day, because I care about and honor my body. When my body is unhealthy, my mind is unclear and unfocused. I honor the body that God gave me.

Her life is changed forever, because of her daily decisions.


Who are the people which you hang out with on a daily basis? Are they motivators? Are people who you admire? OR Are they losers? Are they individuals whose only enjoyment arises from coming home from their J.O.B. and watching tv? As outlined by the A.C. Nielsen Co., the average American watches more than four hours of tv every day. That is twenty-eight hrs each week, or 2 months of nonstop TV-watching each year. In a sixty-five year life, that individual could have spent nine years stuck to the tube. That same person will moan and complain about their life, but did absolutely nothing to change it. Does this sound like some of your friends? If that's the case, it's time for you to make some conclusions about your associations.


Proverbs 11:14 says "Where no wise guidance is, the people fall, but in the multitude of counselors there is safety." You have to surround yourself with people that provide you with wisdom and guidance. Make a decision today to build a mastermind team of positive people that believe in you and your dreams. Your physical fitness and social network are just two areas of your life that you make daily decisions about that shape the rest of your life. What about the other areas? What decisions are you making today that will predict your future?

Turn Your Life Crisis into Lasting Happiness !

Turn Your Life Crisis into Lasting Happiness !

Life crises come in all shapes and sizes, and usually when we least expect them.

There are many possible such moments of crisis - from retirement to bereavement, from divorce to a severe health breakdown, from bankruptcy to dismissal. There are many others, and they can affect all of us at some time or another in our lives. In my case, I have suffered through two divorces, two bereavements, a major business crash, and a serious attempted suicide. The effects can be serious and long-lasting.

Naturally, we all see the dark side of any life crisis, be it a bereavement, a divorce, losing your job, or whatever. But if you are able to step back a little, look hard at your life, consider your strengths and your weaknesses, you may very well be able to make changes to your life which will result in that elusive state, true happiness and contentment. You may have just lost a well paid job as a finance director, for instance. But you know, deep inside, that you would be much happier doing something else, something quite different - let's say running a flower nursery. Definitions of tue happiness abound on the internet:

-Happiness comes down to the difference between commitment and attachment -Happiness is social relationships -Happiness is individualistic, varying from one person to another -Happiness is a recipe that includes a number of ingredients -Happiness and unhappiness are two sides of the same coin -Happiness is the highest good -Happiness is about having each tiny wish come true -Happiness is delivered through focusing on the key areas of your life -Happiness is connected with diet and exercise -Happiness is not something that happens to you. It is inside you now -Happiness is the most important and the ultimate objective in life -Happiness is a set of skills you must learn.

You really do have to do a careful self analysis.

3 Proven Ways to Build Confidence and High Self-Esteem

How does it feel to have poor self-confidence and a low self-esteem? You feel other people are better than you. You think people at parties do not want to make conversation with you. You see more confident persons receiving promotions, making new friends, attracting hot women and men, and generally getting things you desire.

It sucks to have low self-esteem. If you want to build self-confidence to banish these depressing feelings and finally become a popular person, follows these tips to quickly boost your self-esteem:

1. Do an exercise routine:

 Exercise releases what I think of as self-esteem-enhancing hormones. Just running or lifting weights instantly makes you feel better about yourself. You'll also feel great about yourself once you see an attractive figure in the mirror.

If you don't yet exercise, start out with brisk walking for 15 minutes a day, 3 times per week. Work your way up to 30 minutes 6 days a week. Make it a ritual.

I also encourage you to build strength. Even if you're not a muscle-head, lift weights. The added physical strength adds to your psychological strength.

2. Reduce self-analysis:

 Low self-esteem individuals tend to suffer from social anxiety. A pre-cursor to social anxiety is self-obsession where the person continues to think about himself or herself.

No one thinks about you as much as you. Know that most people in conversations are more concerned about how you think of them than their perception of you.

If you want to be self-conscious, focus on other people. What a counterintuitive lesson! Once you focus on other people and reduce self-analysis, you begin saying and doing the right things. Also doing activities that make you focus and hold your attention can quickly boost your confidence.

3. Accept mistakes:

A baby tries to walk, falls over, and gets up to try again. If it gave up like so many people with poor self-esteem, it would never learn to walk.

Please accept your mistakes if you want to build self-confidence. There is no failure, only feedback. When you really believe and accept this, you use failure to build confidence - another counterintuitive lesson.

Nobel Prize writer George Bernard Shaw said, "When I was young I observed that nine out of every ten things I did were failures, so I did ten times more work."

That's what building a high self-esteem is all about. Everyone fails, gets rejected, and feels humiliated at times. What matters is how you react to what life presents you.

The moment self-esteem-diminishing situation arises, ask yourself , "What would a confident person do in this situation?" The answer to that is the quickest way to build unstoppable confidence.

Positive Self-Talk – Used By Successful People

For practically every habit you want to change, you can create a better, more productive Self-Talk that will advance desired change and results. Learn how to properly feed your brain with right thoughts and words, and you will discover a powerful method for positively impacting your life forever.

Do you know that every cell in your body is affected by every thought you have ... every word you say to yourself?

Whether or not the Self-Talk you engage in is good or bad, it affects what you believe, the attitudes and feelings you hold, the actions you take, and the results you produce.

A positive pattern of Self-Talk is one of the strongest, most effective components of personal growth and self-management. When you take the time to consider what you’re about to say (and its potential impact), it is important to understand that you are imprinting those very words as “the gospel” on your subconscious mind -- where habits are strongly embedded.

For some perspective on how you talk to yourself, ask these questions and see how you immediately respond:

* Do you mentally berate yourself when you make a mistake?

* Do I really know when your outlook needs a tune up?

* Do I skip the solution when you suspect a problem?

* Do I identify why an idea can't work before you recognize why it can?

* Do I struggle through projects when others breeze through them?

* Do I disparage or discredit your feelings?

* Do I attempt positive, action-oriented goals, yet they evaporate?

* Do I know how to effectively implement positive, lasting change?

Learn how to properly feed your brain with right thoughts and words, and you will discover a powerful method for positively impacting your life forever.

Here are 5 reasons that positive Self-Talk really works:

1. The positive and effective use of Self-Talk, silently or aloud, can dramatically impact the subconscious mind for lasting change.

2. You actually activate healthy, productive chemicals and electrical responses in the brain that spontaneously work for you … instead of against you.

3. Positive Self-Talk gives you the essential, action-focused means to make the changes you want and need … even if you have not been able to accomplish that in the past.

4. You learn a practical, easy way to live your life by active intent … rather than passive acceptance.

5. You strengthen your will, beef up your success-oriented self-concept, and gain deep-rooted self-assurance.

For practically every habit you want to change, you can create a better , more productive Self-Talk that will advance desired change and results.

Geniuses have possibility mentality. They believe in themselves and their own mental abilities to achieve their set goals. Optimism is a mental fortitude that helps you overcome resistance to your new innovative ideas.

Believe in your self and also believe in God to help you in your entire endeavor.

How to Become Courageous

How Can I Become Courageous?

    ESTHER is one of the few ladies I know that posses impressive driving skills and believe me I should know because I once worked as a driver. Today, watching her drive is awesomely pleasing, though there are times I feel like grabbing the steering from her; I’m sure some of the guys know what I mean. Anyway, this is the part you have to promise not to tell her.
I remember asking her how she was able to attain such level of driving skill. She didn’t start out being all that perfect. She recounted one frightening experience when se almost vowed never to drive again. This is what happened; one day, she was cruising around town with her friends with the euphoria of being able to drive (she was the first amongst her friends); she was suddenly faced with an oncoming speeding trailer. You know one of those 16 wheelers; I call them ‘King of the road’. She went on to explain how she could think of was to how she could escape from the car. She said, “I was so scared tat I lost control of the car and almost packed inside the gutter if not for the culvert”. It was so funny but for world peace I tried not to laugh out loud. Now that particular experience redefined driving for her. She concluded that driving was a dangerous act which is likely to shorten human life so, “No more driving” she concluded. But she went on to overcome that fear and even James Bond will be proud to have her as one of his stunt car derivers now.


What am I driving at? That everybody is courageous and we exhibit this everyday to the whole world in the ‘seemingly’ trivial things we do. The truth is there was a time, we were afraid of doing those things, but because we have now mastered them and gotten used to doing them we easily forget that it took some courage for us to do those things the first time ever. In other words, just by living our lives, we summon courage from within us every day and gradually lose our fear to the extent that such things become second nature to us.

Could you possibly remember that:



• The first time you tried to walk, it took some courage.


• The first day you attended Nursery / primary school or boarding house and your parents left you with your teachers, you had to be courageous. Well for some of us that courage took sometime to come but it eventually did.


• Like my wife, you had to summon courage and dare to drive for the first time.


• It took serious courage to jump into the water and expect to float when you were learning how to swim.


• But for courage, you would never have been able to sit in front of a panel to attend an interview talk less of speaking to a large crowd.


• You have to summon all the courage within you to propose to your wife and you dared to be courageous to accept your husbands proposal when you weren’t sure of where he would eventually lead you in life.


• When you were going to write that exam, it was courage that spurred you on.


• Goodness! That baby you decided to have took all the courage in the world.


• You wouldn’t have ever boarded that plane if not for courage.


• That 100-meter race was a test of your courage.


I am sure that because you have mastered all these, you wouldn’t know that there are some people who still dread the idea of doing some of those things


Courage is necessary when you become afraid to act in a particular manner, the action of which would probably lead to a desirable outcome. The point is, everyone is actually afraid of one thing or the other so courage is not the absence of fear, it is action in the face of fear. In some cases, courage is when you are the only one that knows you are afraid.

So How to Become as Courageous as a Lion?

 

1. Information

In most cases what you know about a situation or thing is the greatest determinant of either courage or fear. For example, I used to be afraid of snakes but after sometime I started studying them by reading books and watching documentaries and suddenly the fear is almost gone not because snakes are no longer deadly but because I now know how to behave around them.

2. Responsibility

You need to realize that all growth requires change and the truth is change is scary but nobody has ever won a race without setting out from the starting block. However, this will be risky because you could get injured by falling down or knocked down by other runners but when you realize that you are actually the only one tat can achieve this goal for yourself only then will you set out. As they say, “if it is to be, then it’s up to me”

 

3. Action

The shortest distance between your dreams and their realization is action. In fact, it is the only route. Courage is a verb (a word that connotes action). The only reason you and the world around you will have to call you courageous is when your action speaks louder tan your words.

So the ball is now in your court and what you do about it will determine if you will swim with ‘Sharks’ successfully.
