Eight months later the musical thr...

                                              Its Habit Do you sometimes have the feeling that you’re running into the same obstacles over and over again? Many of my conflicts have the same feel to them, like “Hey, I think I’ve been here before,” but I can’t figure out how I wound up in the same place. The situation is different, but the conflict feels the same. I first read this poem in “The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying” by Sogyal Rinpoche. When I “Googled” it, I found fourteen pages of links. It’s a favorite with many people; I know it speaks volumes to me. “Autobiography in Five Chapters”  1 ) I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk I fall in. I am lost . . . I am hopeless. It isn’t my fault. It takes forever to find a way out.  2) I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I pretend I don’t see it. I fall in a...

           7 Steps To Break Or Make                                 A    Habit  We all have habits, some good and some not so good. These are behaviors that we’ve learned and that occur almost automatically. And most of us have a habit we’d like to break or one we’d like to develop. For most people, it takes about four weeks for a new behavior to become routine or habit. The following steps can make it easier to establish a new behavior pattern. 1 . The first step is to set your goal. Especially when you are trying to stop or break a habit, you should try to phrase your goal as a positive statement. For example, instead of saying “I will quit snacking at night”, say “I will practice healthy eating habits”. You should also write down your goal. Committing it to paper helps you to commit. It can also help if you tell your goal to someone you trust. 2 . Decide o...

  Y oga can seem like a complicated concept – or, at the least, a dizzying array of physical manipulations that turn seemingly happy-looking human beings into happy-looking human pretzels. Even more disconcerting, a stereotype does exist in places where the term yoga is synonymous with a cult, or some kind of archaic spiritual belief that compels one to quit their job, sell their house and go live in the middle of nowhere. Yoga is a very basic “thing”. If you've had the opportunity to visit a country where it has been established for generations – India, Japan, China, and others – its rather, well, “ordinary”. The practice of yoga came to the west back in 1893 when one of India’s celebrated gurus, Swami Vivekananda, was welcomed at the World Fair in Chicago.  He is now known for having sparked the West’s interest in yoga. The word yoga comes from the Sanskrit term Yug, which means: “to yoke, bind, join, or direct one’s attention”. At the same time, yoga can also imply concept...

1.  INSPIRATION.   Inspiration is critical to staying motivated and improving oneself. If you are not interested in your business, your motivation level will never be high and you will not be able to sustain interest for very long. Take an honest look at your inspiration level. Are you excited about going to work or is it an obligation? You would be surprised at the number of people who choose a business that looks good on paper, but in reality, does not interest them in the least. These individuals will grow weary and uninterested pretty quickly because they have no inspiration or passion to sustain them during the difficult times they will encounter as small business owners. If you do not like your work, then think about how you can re-focus your small business to better match your needs. Or consider making a change entirely. Without inspiration, there will not be motivated to even try self-improvement. 2. SETTING GOALS.  Short and long-term goal setting is vital f...

    Ashtanga yoga, also known as power yoga, is quickly gaining popularity among practitioners. So what is Ashtanga yoga? It is the form of yoga most used by athletes and those interested in quickly increasing strength and stamina. Because of that, Ashtanga yoga postures have a higher degree of difficulty than those in other styles. Additionally, they are done as part of the series. Usually, students doing Ashtanga yoga postures will move quickly from one to the other to maintain that focus on strength. That is in opposition to many other forms of yoga where the emphasis is on breathing, relaxation, and flexibility. Who Should Practice Ashtanga Yoga ? Ashtanga yoga poses are for most anyone who is in decent shape. If you are new to exercise, this is probably not the form of yoga with which you should start. Even the very easiest of Ashtanga poses are very demanding on the body, especially since you will even start with a body warming routine that is designed to activate your m...

      What To Look For In An NLP And           Hypnotherapy Training Provider NLP and Hypnotherapy are big news. More and more people are becoming aware of the benefits of mastering the power of their minds. Let us face it, there are infinite possibilities available to us in our lives and the more we open our minds, the more those possibilities bombard us and the more options we have. Long gone are the days of being hard-wired to depression, of only doing and being what others say I must do or be, of going through life with feelings of limited existence. You can do or be whatever you want to do or be, simply by mastering these skills. But now, a new problem bestows us. Who will teach us? There are many so-called teachers of these new-age subjects who have produced many so-called masters in the subjects. However, having met some of them, I would say that there are students who are failing to learn, simply because the teachers fail to teach. Fi...

                  The Defining Moment Of Self-Improvement   For any aspect of self-improvement, there has to be a reason for you to start and keep going. That is your motivation – the reason for doing what you do. To attempt any sort of improvement in your life, you need to be motivated in some way to get started. Strategies for self-improvement start with defining what it is you want to achieve and then charting a course through which you can effect the improvements or changes. These do not have to be drastic changes – they could be something as simple as making time for yourself to write in a journal each day or something to improve your health, such as quitting smoking.  Motivation comes from within. It is something that you want to do for yourself. This is what keeps you going, getting up each day and going off to work  Children are often the motivating force behind parents saving money when they would ordinarily blow ...
