This truly is the most wonderful time of the year for me.  I have always been a huge fan of Christmas, even when I was a young boy growing up in a house with few presents and little love.  As an adult, I created a family filled with love and luckily filled with an abundance of things to be thankful for.

But I know for some, the holiday season is a struggle, with peaks in anxiety and depression.

That’s why I want to recommend this wonderful Netflix documentary made by Jonah Hill.

No affiliate links.  I have no affiliation with Netflix other than being a customer of theirs.

There are some real nuggets of wisdom in this film that are easy to put into action, and that is the key to change.  Easy actions that bring positive results.

Wishing you all my best,

Half of your life is spent on maintenance of the human body.  HALF.

You may think you have 24 hours in a day, but if you are living a healthy lifestyle and taking care of yourself so that you live longer, you probably only have 12 hours of useful time.

Every doctor in America will tell you that you need 8 hours of sleep (although I did just read a study that suggested that middle-aged and elderly people do best on 7 hours, but I’m sure that information will take a decade to make its way to the mainstream of consciousness).  Sleep is maintenance, and not a productive time (unless of course, you listen to a subliminal while you sleep, as I do, but that is a completely different topic).

It’s easy to spend another three or four hours putting foods and liquids into your body, and getting rid of these foods and liquids, washing the body, grooming, shaving, brushing and applying makeup, etc.  Then there is all the time you spend taking your body in for treatments at doctors, dentists, chiropractors, etc.   Let’s not forget the time we spend exercising our body, jogging, lifting weights, bicycling, or even doing Yoga.

That’s half of your life, just keeping your body in good (or at least decent) running order.

With 12 hours of the 24 gone…  spent on maintenance, there is a good chance that you spend 8 of your remaining 12 hours at a job.  Most people don’t work a job because they want to, but rather because they have to, just to be able to afford to take care of their bodies.

That leaves you with four (4) hours, and some of that will be spent driving to and from the job and the various body maintence locations.

So try not to be too hard on yourself for not getting more done.  There’s a good chance that you only have four hours of freedom in a given “workday”.  Four hours to get everything you want out of life done.

Sure, after all the time you’ve spent on maintenance and exchanging your time for money, you probably want to relax and take a moment for yourself.  That, like driving, comes from that four hours.  Spending time with friends and family is important, and that comes in those four-hour windows as well.

Once I realized how little time I had to myself on a weekday, it became obvious to me that I need to prioritize the things I find the most important, and focus on those, rather than making a huge list of things that I never completed and then felt a twinge of guilt each night knowing that the list was longer at the end of the day than it was at the beginning.

Knowing that you spend so much of your life exchanging your time for money, you may find it a worthy goal, as I have, to concentrate your efforts on finding something you can do for money that brings you joy.  If you love what you do, you never had to work a day in your life.

Best Wishes to you on your journey.  My hope is that you are kind to yourself as you grow.

The post Time Managment first appeared on thailand christian dating sites.

Is time working for you or against you?

Seems like a funny question, but everyday time is either helping you in your efforts or it is hurting you.  Let’s take a closer look at how time affects your goals.

Money 

Time working for you:

If you have money invested in an interest making account, then every single day that money is earning more money for you.  Start investing early and let the magic of compound interest make you a millionaire before retirement.

Time Working Against You:

If, on the other hand, you rack up credit cards and create massive debt and you make the minimum payments on these debts each month, most of your money is going to interest.  You are now losing money each month and making money for the credit companies.

 Weight

Time working for you:

If each day you eat slightly less than your body needs, you will lose weight.  It doesn’t have to be a lot less.  A pound a week or a pound a month, as long as you heading in that direction, time is on your side and as the weeks, months and years pass, time will provide you slimming results.

Time Working Against You:

Of course, the opposite is true also.  If you overeat each day, time will deposit that overflow of calories as fat.

ANY GOAL YOU HAVE!

Think about a goal you have.  Any goal.  Surely you have a goal, right?  If you don’t have any goals for yourself then your life must be perfect, and if so, congratulations.  I’ve never met anyone with a perfect life. Assuming your life isn’t perfect, if you do not have any goals set, this might be the perfect time to create one (or more).  If you want something to change, you need to set a goal for the result you desire.  Once you have that goal in mind, all you have to do is map out the steps required in order to make that goal into a reality.  Break them up into small daily prices and time will take care of the rest.

A jar fills drip by drip.

Just do the one little bitty thing you need to do each day, and over time you will achieve your goal.  Sounds simple right?  That’s because it is.  It’s so simple that most people overlook the power of time.

Everyone should have goals.

If you are not working towards something, then time will not be working for you.

Wishing you all the success in the world,

The post Top 10 Things That Will Make 2016 The Best Year Ever first appeared on thailand christian dating sites.

It’s the time to set resolutions for the New Year.

My resolution is to be more active on this blog.  I miss all of you and writing posts here help me as much as they do anyone else.

What do you hope to accomplish in 2016?

With the right mindset you can accomplish anything.  They key is to NEVER QUIT.  Don’t give up a month or two down the road.  Keep at it.  Think positive and FEEL the success you want as if you already have it.

There are many Law of Attraction Tools available (My favorite is the Manifesting Cards Method) but a simple thing you can begin doing NOW, is to pay attention to your thoughts and how your thoughts make you feel.

Your thoughts create your reality.

Most people think that this is something new, or a newage way of thinking, but it really isn’t new at all.

I am currently reading the book FEELING GOOD: The New Mood Therapy, by David D. Burns M.D.  The book itself is written for people to overcome Depression and Anxiety, but the premise of the book is that “Your thoughts create your feelings.  If you change your thoughts, you will change how you feel.”  In fact, this simple premise is clinically proven and the basis for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

If you want to have the power to control your thoughts, I HIGHLY recommend reading this book.  It’s just a few dollars and its a skill you can carry with you for a lifetime!

In the Old Testament, Proverbs 23:7 you will find “For as he thinks within himself, so he is”.

WOW.  That’s really powerful stuff.  If you think negatively about yourself then you will not get positive results.  Sounds too simple right?  Simple, but true.

In my opinion the absolute best thing you can do for yourself this year is to gain control of your thoughts because your thoughts create your feelings and feelings are what power the universe.

Everyone can benefit from happier, uplifting, positive thoughts and self-image.

Wishing you to be the very best you can be, think and feel in 2016!

It is true, feeling grateful, will improve your health. This means that the effects of gratitude go way beyond those already known to those of us who use the Secret Course

It turns out the human heart creates an electromagnetic field that expands about five out from the body.  The field itself is much stronger than the electromagnetic field created by the brain (it’s about 60 times stronger to be exact.)

Scientists have been studying this field and found that when a person is experiencing stress or anxiety the electromagnetic waves are shorter in length and more erratic in nature.

Positive feelings brought about heart frequencies that were smoother and more consistent, but researchers took note that gratitude changes the heart’s rhythm more easily and faster than any other positive feeling.

What’s even more interesting is that because this field extends outside your body it can affect the hearts and brains of others who are nearby. So if you are in a state of gratitude, you are likely changing the feelings of those around you and “bringing them up” as it were.

Who doesn’t want to be around someone who is happy and pleasant?

We’ve all heard that you are influenced by the people that you spend the most time with, but who knew it was happening on this level?

You might want to spend some time thinking about the people you are spending time with and consider if they are influencing you for the better each day.

It is true, I am not as young as the picture of me on this website.  Perhaps the time has come to update it and show off my well earned gray hairs.

I have never been a fan of pharmaceutical drugs so I researched natural approaches which led me to adding a few supplements and making some changes to my diet.  This worked to some degree, but there always was a level of nagging pain.

How did I forget?

How in the world did I forget about the Extraordinary Health Meditation?

I have no doubt that being away from self development for some time has allowed me to slip.  It is so easy to become busy with your work and family that you forget you are creating your own reality.

So I have used the Extraordinary Health Meditation for two days now, and today when I woke up I was up and about for several hours before I even noticed that I was not in any pain.

This motivated me to share my story with others.

If you already own the Extraordinary Health Meditation, then perhaps this would be a good time to remember to use it if you are suffering from any health problems.

It’s so easy to use, and the benefits are amazing:  See Health Benefits Here

I am so happy to be back into the swing the feeling great again.

Being in pain really can damper your mood.

I hope I have helped you, or someone close to you, improve their life and reduce chronic pain, reduce anxiety, lower blood pressure while improving circulation, improving moood, and achieving vastly better sleep.

Life is just too great to waste anytime suffering.

With Love,

– John Derrick

Yes, there are many products and many teachers out there which can help you focus your mind, lift your spirits and motivate you and point you in the right direction…

BUT…

In the end, all that really matters is this:

Are you coming from Love or Fear?

That’s it.  You are either coming from a place of love or coming from a place of fear.

I know that this truth is not going to be popular with most people, but it is the truth nonetheless.

I know that WEALTH and MONEY is the most sought after use for the Law of Attraction, which is exactly why the Extraordinary Wealth Meditation  has shown such insane interest  (Keep in mind that at the time of this writing it has not even been released to the public yet).

You can attract insane amounts of money into your life, and many people have, and yet they still find challenges.  It turns out that many millionaires are not happy.

That’s because they did nothing to deal with the fear.

If you have not done so, I highly recommend you watch the movie LEAP!.

I just re-watched it this weekend with my kids and got a whole new level of meaning from it.  It really is amazing how that works.

It is much easier to understand something intellectually than it is to “get it” on a deeper level and experience the feeling of it.

Here is an example:

In the movie Leap, they often use the analogy of the world being a movie.  The idea is that the world is not something that is coming at you, but rather something that is coming from you.  You create the world.  You project the world onto the canvas of physical reality.

So intellectually, you can understand that yelling back at the person on the movie screen is not going to do much good.  Getting scared and reacting to the movie does not actually change the movie.

If you want to change the movie (aka: the world playing around you) you have to change what is being projected.

In the movie analogy you would change the film, and then the projector would show a different movie on the screen.

In the movie you are staring in, you would need to change what is inside of you and then what is outside of you changes.  You are both the projector and the starring actor.

After thinking about it, you may refuse this idea or you may decide to get it intellectually.

I mean it makes sense, we’ve all read this many times before.

All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.

William Shakespeare

Every religion states (in their own way) how this reality we live in is not real and that after this life you get to experience eternity in a “real” or “true” existence.

Scientists have now learned that atoms are not the physical things we once thought and we know now that our thoughts and feelings change how they behave.

So your thoughts and feelings (emphasis on the feelings) are shaping the world around you.  You are projecting a movie (or a game) for you to star in and you are choosing to play out your role(s) in it.

But how long can you hold on to that truth before the illusion of the world makes you too busy and sucks you back into the game/movie?

This goes WAY beyond the law of attraction.  This is the deepest understanding of reality, of which the law of attraction is merely a tip of the iceberg.

Yes, you can manifest incredible things using techniques such as the Manifesting Cards, but if you want to change EVERYTHING in the world around you (no limits) you have to let go of fear and fill yourself with love.

If there is something in your world you don’t like, then find it inside of you and give it love. In fact, anytime you want to change something outside of you instead of trying to make the changes in the physical world, where you are sure to create new problems along the way, instead make the changes inside of you.

Turns out the Beatles were right all along:

All you need is love.

98% of the people who read this are going to think I am out of my mind.  I know.  I didn’t write it for them.

I wrote it for you.

You can change the whole world with love.

All my love,

– John Derrick

The post All that is real is either love or fear first appeared on thailand christian dating sites.

I sit down in the morning, clear my mind and begin to manifest my reality.  I make my day in my mind how I want to see it.  I focus on attracting to me what I want to attract by thinking it and feeling it, when all of a sudden an unwanted  thought pops into my mind.

Cancer.

Yes, the word cancer just pops into my head.  WOW.  That is big and certainly unwanted! Immediately I can feel a change inside me.  Some call it a vibration, but I prefer to think of it as energy and my energy has a dark streak in now, all caused by an unwanted thought.

There’s a good reason that Cancer may be on my mind.  My mother-in-law died from it last month.  I cared for my mother-in-law very much.  In fact, I loved her.  It was a terribly sad thing to witness and made a huge impact on me and my family.

But when I take myself into that meditative trance-like state (which I will show you to do in an upcoming writing, it is VERY powerful stuff) I can’t afford to be thinking and feeling negative thoughts.  IF unwanted thoughts pop into my head I will energetically (or vibrationally if you prefer) react to them, and then I will be attracting what I don’t want.

That word is a loaded word and full of lots of energy and I certainly don’t want to attract it into my life, so I need to avoid thinking about it.

It doesn’t do ANY GOOD to tell yourself “stop thinking about an unwanted thought. Seriously.    If I tell you NOT to think about a white bear, the first thing you are going to do is to think about a white bear.

I am one of the lucky ones, because unwanted thoughts only enter my mind once and while.  Some people have unwanted thoughts pop into their head all the time and my heart goes out to them.

That’s no way to live!

So I set out to find a way to “delete thoughts” from my mind.  If I could just delete them, then they would not pop into my head.  I don’t want to think about bad things happening to me or to my loved ones.

Now that I understand the Law of Attraction, I REALLY don’t want negative or scary unwanted thoughts at all, because I know that they can bring bad things into my reality.

I did a lot of searching, and trying some things that didn’t work at all (like a video on youtube that made things actually worse and increased the negative thoughts that popped into my head.)

Finally, I found a technique to Stop Unwanted Thoughts

This technique is used to stop people who have serious anxiety disorders who can’t stop thinking scary unwanted thoughts so I was not sure if it would work for me since I only suffer from this on occasion.

It’s only been a week, but it has already worked like a charm.

I can’t say that I have 100% control over my mind, but it is pretty darn close.

When an unwanted thought pops into my head, instead of it hanging around and getting stronger the more I want it to leave, I can now make is simply disappear using this technique.

I thought I should share this with everyone who is interested in stopping unwanted thoughts.

If you have unwanted thoughts that enter your mind this may be of interest to you too.

Now you can, or at least that is what they claim over at Zen12.

(Try it free:   http://www.zen12.com/homepage/a/free )

As the creator of Extraordinary Health Meditation, I am well practiced in the ways of meditation and the many health benefits of meditation.

For some, meditation can be difficult.  

It used to take years of practice to quit your mind and body so that you could enter a truly deep meditative state.  A state of pure bliss where waves of good feelings washed over your body.

Zen12 Changes All That.

Zen12 uses advanced brainwave technology (which they explain on their site) to trick your mind into a deep meditative state almost immediately.

When you try it for free, you will see that the stress melts away and you get relaxed right away.

http://www.zen12.com/homepage/a/free

I use this to enhance my creativity (I am writing my first novel now) and to relax and get better control on my thoughts.

There is no better way to get control of your thoughts than to have complete control over your own mind.  Once you have control of your mind, you can manifest anything into your life using the law of attraction.

I really can’t say enough good things about Zen12, an Inspire3 creation from the UK.

Let me know what you think about it by leaving a comment below and one lucky commenter will win a free copy of my product Extraordinary Health Meditation.

As we age, people become more reluctant to leave their comfort zone. We like to be comfortable, and as the name would imply things outside our own comfort zone make us feel uncomfortable.

So why can this be a bad thing?

To put it simply: Everything you want is outside your comfort zone.

Think about it. Your current comfort zone is made up of all that you currently have and things that you have had over the years. If you want something that you do not have, then by definition it will lay outside of your comfort zone.

The only way to get what you really want is to expand your comfort zone.

It doesn’t matter if you want to be RICH or THIN, you have to make changes and go outside your comfort zone or else you will get the same results you have always gotten.

Odds are you are very comfortable, or at least used to (even if you are unsatisfied) living where you live. If you want to Get A New House, you will have to expand your comfort zone to include living somewhere new.

Isn’t it ironic that those who hate their lives the most are the same people who are completely afraid to reach outside their comfort zones?  It’s sad really, because that is the only way to see the change that they want in their lives.

So if you want something new to appear in your life, be ready to expand your comfort zone in order to improve your life.

Love, Peace and Success in 2014,

John Derrick
