Priorities
Coming before in order of importance. This is the definition of priority. You know that a priority is important, but did you
realize that it should come first? Is exercise and good nutrition a priority for you in words or in action? Be honest with
yourself! It is easy to say that your health is a "priority" but how often do you miss an exercise session or say "The diet
starts Monday"?
Action
If you are to assign your health as a “priority” then it must “come before in order of importance”.
This may mean waking up 20 minutes earlier to get in a walk or skipping pizza in favor of grilled chicken. Put your words
into action! Write three priorities on a paper and post it some place you see often. Simply writing your priorities on paper
means you are 30% more likely to focus on them and do them!
Weight Loss
Prioritization is the key to goal achievement. The difference between having a goal and living with it is prioritizing the
goal! Anyone can have a goal but not everyone does what it takes to achieve that goal. Weightloss is a perfect example of
this fact. Many people say they have a goal to lose weight, yet few actually do what is required on a daily basis to achieve
that goal. Losing weight is not a mystery. It is not difficult either. You must exercise 3-4 times a week, eat 4-5 smaller
healthy meals per day, you must think positively and you must rest and relax. Prioritize these tasks so when you are tempted
to watch TV instead of doing a workout you will know which one is the higher priority and there will be no question in your
mind as to what to do. Each victory over the temptation to abandon your priorities reinforces your goal and strengthens your
confidence. priorities help you determine how to spend your time effectively. You are more productive and make better, faster
decisions when you have established priorities.
21 Day Test
It takes 21 days to form a habit. Right now, write three of your priorities on paper and place that sheet where you will see
it every day. Read that paper each day for the next 21 days and act on each priority. At the end of this period you will focus
easily on your priorities and feel the satisfaction of attainment
Conquer Stress!
Research has shown that people who exercise regularly handle stressful situations better than sedentary individuals. The holidays
can be a very stressful time for all. In fact, many people suffer from depression and anxiety during the holidays. During
periods of stress, exercise helps the body and mind cope.
Exercise!
A major ally in stress reduction, exercise causes the body to secrete endorphins, which counteract depression. Exercise helps
you work off anxiety and negative energy that can develop during a stressful day. Though 3-4 workouts a week is optimal, every
bit of exercise helps relieve stress! Whether you get to the gym or take a walk around the block, each extra effort you give
to being active will help you to control stress.
Using The Power Of The Mind For Success And Prosperity
by Jules Hawk
Looking back through history, it is evident that the power of the mind has been known for aeons. Many ancient civilizations
show evidence of there knowledge. Unfortunately, some of the ancient knowledge has been lost over the many years, but it
is now being rediscovered.
It is much easier to take control over your life than you think. Often times we mould ourselves to be what we think others
think we are. By imagining yourself as a successful and prosperous person you can actually become successful. By using positive
affirmations we are able to become who we always wanted to be.
The most successful people have many of the same attributes in common. Most successful people are goal oriented, are very
ambitious and think positively. Persistence and determination are also found in most successful people. However, true success
cannot be achieved without happiness. Happiness can be created by positive thinking. When you think positively about yourself
and the world around you then you have the ability to take control of your life.
What we think has a direct effect on where we go in life. If you are constantly thinking negative thoughts then your life
will go towards negativity. When things are constantly going wrong for you this is generally because you are thinking very
negatively. This can be a hard cycle to break but is something that you have to do to achieve success.
A money mindset for prosperity can include the use of success affirmations. It is best to review affirmations daily and early
morning upon waking, and late evening before sleep are good time to access the deeper and more powerful regions of the subconscious
mind.
If you want to break the cycle of negative thinking you can try an experiment. Choose a day to change your thought habits
When you wake up you will only focus on positive things. Be happy that the sun is out or that you have a warm home. Every
minute you need to think about good things and dwell on the positive. Have gratitude for all the wonderful things in your
day.
By keeping negative thoughts at bay you will then only have room for positive thinking. This will help to create a positive
environment around you. At the end of the day think back on the day and you will realize how much thinking positively helped.
As you increase the your positive energy vibration you attract more positive things into your experiences.
It can take time to really start to think positively throughout the day. It is a learned behavior just like thinking negatively
is a learned behavior. That is why we use affirmations to help re-train our brains to think positively. Before you know it
your brain will be thinking positively on a subconscious level and you won't even realize it. It will take a lot of time and
hard work though to achieve this level, but the benefits are so worth it.
As your mind starts to think more positive thoughts the negative thoughts will disappear. This will also be reflected in your
life and the people around you. When you have a positive aura you will attract things to you. People will notice a change
in you, and people will start to view you differently.
If you are stuck in a negative thinking rut then it is time that you use affirmations to break the cycle. Start off each day
with positive affirmations and before you go to bed at night. By practicing thinking positively you will get better and better
at it. Before you know it your mind will be trained to think positive thoughts. This will have an affect on your whole life.
You can develop your money mindset for prosperity by using prosperity affirmations. It is becoming more and more understood
how the power of the mind can attract things to us. By using prosperity affirmations we can attract wealth and abundance into
our lives.
Affirmations are like excercies for the mind to develop its happiness and manifestation muscle. Affirmations work almost
as a magic potion if you will that can bring about peace of mind, happiness, success, freedom from worries and spiritual prosperity.
The human brain has great capacity and we only use a small percentage of our brain power in our daily lives. Our brains are
never fully utilized because we are not programmed in the right way. However, through affirmations we can open up parts of
our potential that weren't there before.
In the book Rich Dad Poor Dad it is explained that what a child learns during childhood is what has the greatest influence
on his or her life. Therefore, by saying affirmations at a very young age you can get more of what you desire. And affirmations
can also be used to help change the programs that were embedded in the mind in previous years.
If you did not start at a very young age you can still start now with prosperity affirmations. You are able to reprogram your
brain and therefore your life. Once you continually say your positive affirmations you will believe them on a conscious level
and implant them at a subconscious level. You will find that in daily activities you will be putting these affirmations into
practice.
When you achieve the mental state of believing that you want prosperity in your life, that you can have prosperity in your
life, and that you are deserving of prosperity in your life, then you will be able to attain it.
The longer you think about being prosperous and repeat your affirmations in your head the quicker this will be able to come
true. But it is important also to feel the emotion of the attainment of your outcomes. Rote repetition of words alone is
not enough. Feel the feeling as if you have already attained the desired outcome.
Repeating affirmations is essentially programming your mind with positive thoughts. So many people dwell on the negative and
it is these negative thoughts that govern their lives. If you can identify these negative thoughts and other factors that
are preventing you from achieving prosperity then you will be able to control them better.
The more you believe in your ability to do great things and gain prosperity the more able you will be to actually achieve
it. The power of your mind will allow you to overcome any obstacles no matter how big.
It is easy to let negative thoughts control our lives. A person who is constantly thinking about losing money and is afraid
of it reflects this in their actions. This is why it is so important to control your thoughts and emotion in order to gain
prosperity.
The words that you say to yourself everyday are what your mind will believe. If you keep all negative thoughts away then your
mind will only be able to create a reality out of positive thoughts.
If you notice a negative thought or statement crossing your mind, just say Cancel That and as your say it, you can release
that negative thought.
You can use a variety of techniques to help you with your affirmations. One technique is autosuggestions which are specially
targeted affirmations. These are posters, audio messages or visual clippings that you can surround yourself with. This way
you will be thinking about your prosperity all the time. Be sure that your prosperity affirmations have only to do with you
and do not try to manipulate other people's lives, even towards apparently positive outcomes.
Keep your affirmations in the present tense. If you are stating your affirmations with future tense they will always be reamining
out there in the future. Bring your positive outcomes into the present by using present tense statements with your positive
affirmations.

A Look At Anxiety Depression
by John Samson
A lot of people who are exerting too much of their brain power usually exhaust not only their physical strength when engaging
in various multi-tasking activities, they also tend to over extend their brains up to the point when it plainly needs some
good old time for relaxation. A lot of busy people who seem to cannot fathom the idea of relaxing and taking time of from
work, as well as their worries, tend to actually start having nervous breakdowns, anxiety depression and all sorts of mental
illnesses that can cause a person's sanity to go haywire, fortunately, if you're one of those poor unfortunate ones who are
unable to distress and is constantly worried and fussing over things, there are actually available cures and various treatments
for treating anxiety depression.
Anxiety depression is actually characterized by all sorts of irregularities and erratic behavior from the person who is suffering
from it, this is usuallu due to certain stress triggers that may tend to easily cause a person undue jitters and stress. Also,
a lot of people who tend to get easily nervous over stressful activities are actually prone to having anxiety depression,
its just a matter of being strong-willed when it comes to facing difficult and stress-prone activities. It may be pretty hard
to overcome at first, but trying to be calm and cool in times of extreme pressure is what'll actually save your mental health
from going totally downward spiral.
When it comes to effectively curing one's self from a mental illness, one must keep in mind that you have to be actually honest
with yourself and assess what kind of depression or mental illness you actually have, go to reputable psychiatrist to get
yourself diagnosed correctly as well as be able to get the right depression treatment for yourself. Here are the various types
of depression:
Manic or Bipolar depression - characterized by sudden and extreme changes in one's mood wherein one minute he or she is in
an elevated state of euphoria while the next minute (day or week) he or she is feeling to be in a personal hell.
Postpartum depression - characterized by a prolonged sadness and a feeling of emptiness by a new mother wherein physical stress
during child birth, an uncertain sense of responsibility towards the new born baby can be just some of the possible factors
why some new mother go through this.
Dysthimia - characterized by a slight similarity with depression, although this time, it's been proven to be a lot less severe,
but of course with any case, should be treated immediately.
Cyclothemia - characterized by a slight similarity with Manic or Bipolar depression wherein the individual suffering from
this mental illness may occasionally suffer from severe changes in one's moods.
Seasonal Affective Disorder - characterized by falling in a rut only during specific seasons (i.e. Winter, Spring, Summer
or Fall) studies however, prove that more people actually fall in to a rut more during the Winter and Fall seasons and lastly,
Mood swings, wherein a person's mood may shift from happy to sad to angry in just a short time.
But the type of depression that has actually been proven to be quite common among people is anxiety depression, which is actually
characterized by the state of being overly anxious about things. Anxiety, a supposedly normal behavior that'll actually help
a person adjust more to a certain stressful activity like first date jitters or a grueling exam the following day. Anxiety
actually helps you get psyched up towards facing certain "difficult situations"; anxiety therefore is actually a good thing.
Anxiety depression however, is simply the opposite, not to be easily dismissed as a "case of the nerves"; Anxiety depression
is in actuality an illness that can be caused from the biological makeup of an individual, or in other words, a hereditary
illness.
Also, there are actually various types of Anxiety depression, each having its own unique characteristics. Take for example
Generalized Anxiety Disorder or GAD, this kind of Anxiety depression is a lot more complicated than the average Anxiety depression,
in spite of possibly being a day-to-day habit for those who suffer this kind of Anxiety depression, Generalized Anxiety Disorder
actually makes the individual quite more paranoid than usual, anxiety attacks are more frequent, even absurd at times. They
can even be anxious even when there's no apparent reason that calls for them to behave in such a way. People suffering from
Generalized Anxiety Disorder actually shows a lot of symptoms, from lack of sleep, to being unable to relax, getting tired
easily, cannot concentrate on what they're doing and even suffering from depression. This kind of Anxiety depression is still
curable; just a little work will actually do the trick.
Consult a reputable cognitive behavior therapist who'll help give the individual the therapy that he or she needs to help
him or her loosen up, also prescribed medicines are sort of a must to help these individuals battle anxiety attacks, help
them calm down and relax.
