Examine your External Environment Have you ever noticed how there are some places you go to or people that you visit that seem to leave you uptight and full of stress after you go away? Certain people and workplaces seem to exude a thick, heavy feeling of dread and weariness. If you buy into it you come out of there feeling wrung out and stressed. I have a few places that are like that and when I leave I have to shake it off or I will fall... 

To be successful, you need to first begin to think successfully! I heard this on the radio the other day,  and thought deeply about it.  Sounds easy enough, but putting it into practice is a whole different kettle of fish!!  Why is it easier said than done?    If we tell ourselves continually that we are unsuccessful, then that is what we will be, its that simple.  Our conscious and subconscious mind play a huge role in this, but... 

Self Improvement Mind Power Now that I know what was causing my negative thinking and bad luck, it was time to change them into positive and successful ways of thinking which would ultimately lead to the good luck and success I yearned for.  I had achieved the first step of awareness, I now needed to implement a strategy which would allow me to get rid of these negative habits. As I mentioned in an earlier post it is a persons belief system... 

Improving our self image is one of the missing links that holds many of us back from achieving our goals and dreams. Discovering how the conscious and subconscious minds control our self image has been the turning point for me. Changing Our Self Image Where it all started for me was discovering the close correlation with the thoughts that we allow into our mind and our self image. Our self image is controlled by our conscious mind which... 

Self-Image Values Beliefs Self-Image A friend of mine posted a question online the other day What is your self-image. It made me think for a moment, but it didn’t take long for me to work out what it is. Self-image is one thing that most people don’t bother to think about. Most people think that who they are now are just a product of environmental influences and how you were brought up. To some extent it is true, however, not... 

Keeping Weight Off Keeping our weight under control for most people is no easy task.  In our modern age, we usually don’t get enough exercise and find it too easy to eat fast foods. We make excuses for ourselves to feel more comfortable or we start an exercise program only to find that after a while we are either not practicing it often enough or we give it up completely.  It is so easy to let other things get in the way of our best... 

A Roller Coaster Ride I have been trading for a while and have made some good money.  The problem was that the more I made, the more I lost! Anxiety and Fear I was at a loss as to why I could not make the money and keep it.  Why was I losing it again.  I noticed that I had a growing anxiety when I traded.  Would I keep it this time?  The fear that I was wasting my time, energy and money.  At times, I just thought of giving up and looking... 

How many people have fears?  Answer: Everyone! Where do these fears come from?  Most come from our childhood.  I have heard it stated that by the time a child is 7 years old, they are fully programmed.  As a parent, we are literally programming their little minds. This is an enormous responsibility, some folks do it well, others fail miserably. Mostly because they don’t know any better themselves. I remember vividly things that... 

Awareness I mentioned in my previous article that the reason I was able to turn my life around was due to awareness.  I became aware of what was happening in my mind that was causing me so much grief and frustration. I needed to know: Why was I having such a run of bad luck Why was I unable to achieve success in my goals Why was I unable to achieve happiness Why was self improvement so difficult to achieve In his book Reprograming The... 

Understanding that to have success in any part of our life ultimately lies with what thoughts enter our mind is one of the most powerful lessons we can learn. What I have found is having an awareness of the way our mind works is the most important element if we want change to occur. Reprogramming the Mind Creates Success I have often wondered why some people seem to be successful at what ever they do whether it is in business, career, sport,...
