Make Fear Your Fire

Fear and Love Cannot Co-Exist

2011-01-17T11:57:00.000-08:00

By nature, fear and love act in conflicting ways in our lives. Fear is restrictive, repressive and
limiting. Love is expressive, abundant and free-flowing. Fear contracts, love expands. Fear
retreats, love forges new pathways. Fear is closed off and stagnant, love is open and vibrant.
Because of the reflective nature of our universe, the mindset you most often hold will be
mirrored in your every experience and in every person you encounter.
When you live your life from a mindset of fear, you are bound to see that same quality of
stagnation and repression everywhere. Your opportunities will seem smaller or more restrictive
(or even non-existent). The people you interact with daily will probably seem more reserved,
less generous, and less caring. Even your work will seem repressed, perhaps boring or
fulfilling; and your income may shrink in proportion too.

On the other hand, when you begin living your life from a mindset of love, everything around
you seems effusive and joyful. The people you meet seem warmer, kinder and jovial.
Opportunities come rushing forth to meet YOU, rather than you having to chase after them, and
your work will probably seem more fulfilling and enjoyable – not to mention more profitable.
Contrary to popular belief, you do not need to be highly spiritual or ―enlightened‖ to live from
love rather than fear. All it takes is a simple shift in mindset to create big changes in your outer
world. Click Here For 22 Powerful Tools to Transform Your Fear Into Happiness, Peace and Inspiration

Introducing Neuroscience and Relationships

By John M Grohol PsyD

Well, as we say goodbye to another year, I have an early new year’s present for everyone — a new blog! I’m pleased to introduce Neuroscience and Relationships with Dr. Athena Staik.
Dr. Athena Staik has been studying the brain, the neuroscience of attachments, and cutting edge tools for accelerated success and human change for over 10 years. With a Ph.D. in marriage and family therapy, and an MA and BA in psychology, her work is influenced by a wide range of psychological models, with an emphasis on positive, strengths-based approaches.
“On this blog, I’d like to share some of the methods I use, principles, recent findings as it relates to the brain and healthy personal lives and relationships, how understanding how our brain and body are designed is an essential part of self healing processes, understanding self and others, and so on,” notes Dr. Staik.
“More specific topics are how to break free of reactive patterns, defensiveness, and other addictive patterns or compulsions, that erode intimacy, fun and passion — how to successfully break habits and free emotional blocks in general.”
Who couldn’t use a little help grounded in the latest science to better understand their partner and improve their romantic relationship? I’m on board and I hope you will be too in welcoming Athena to the Psych Central family! Please visit Neuroscience and Relationships today, she’s already blogging full steam ahead!

Dr. John Grohol is the CEO and founder of Psych Central. He has been writing about online behavior, mental health and psychology issues, and the intersection of technology and psychology since 1992.

Nature Reducing Stress?

2010-05-26T19:13:00.001-07:00

Nature Reduces Anxiety and Sharpens Mental Skills

By Rick Nauert PhD Senior News Editor
Reviewed by John M. Grohol, Psy.D. on May 26, 2010

The tonic of nature for relieving stress and helping to sharpen mental skills may have a scientific basis — research on mice discovers a natural bacterium reduces anxiety and improves mental abilities.
“Mycobacterium vaccae is a natural soil bacterium which people likely ingest or breathe in when they spend time in nature,” says Dorothy Matthews of The Sage Colleges in Troy, N.Y.
Previous research studies on M. vaccae showed that heat-killed bacteria injected into mice stimulated growth of some neurons in the brain that resulted in increased levels of serotonin and decreased anxiety.
“Since serotonin plays a role in learning we wondered if live M. vaccae could improve learning in mice,” says Matthews.
Matthews and Jenks fed live bacteria to mice and assessed their ability to navigate a maze compared to control mice that were not fed the bacteria.
“We found that mice that were fed live M. vaccae navigated the maze twice as fast and with less demonstrated anxiety behaviors as control mice,” says Matthews.
In a second experiment the bacteria were removed from the diet of the experimental mice and they were retested. While the mice ran the maze slower than they did when they were ingesting the bacteria, on average they were still faster than the controls.
A final test was given to the mice after three weeks’ rest. While the experimental mice continued to navigate the maze faster than the controls, the results were no longer statistically significant, suggesting the effect is temporary.
“This research suggests that M. vaccae may play a role in anxiety and learning in mammals,” says Matthews.
“It is interesting to speculate that creating learning environments in schools that include time in the outdoors where M. vaccae is present may decrease anxiety and improve the ability to learn new tasks.”

All That Stand Between You and Success is the Fear of Failure

2010-01-24T08:38:00.000-08:00

by Mark Thomas Walters

Are you the type of person who wins or loses most of the situations that you are involved in? If you feel that you have lost more times than you would have liked in the last year, you need to ask yourself how many times you did everything within your power to win. Most probably, you rarely do everything that you can to maximize your chances of success in the situations then you find yourself in. If that is the case, then you only have yourself to blame for not seeing the success that you desire.
So, what is the biggest thing that is currently holding you back from going all out and playing to win? Your answer is most likely the same as the answer given by the vast majority of people, or at least a variation on it, which is fear of failure. Ask yourself - How many times in your life have you bailed out of a situation, or sat back and been a spectator, just because failure was an unbearable option?
This fear is literally stealing opportunities from you. Opportunities will always continue to present themselves, but whilst you keep on holding back, you will never be able to fully seize them. Even a slight fear of failure is sufficient enough, as not giving everything you have puts you at a serious disadvantage.
Your fortune is sealed the moment that you submit to your fear of failure. By not even trying, how can you ever hope to win? The thing is, by getting involved, you nearly always have a chance of winning, even if it is a small one. You might be the underdog, but how many times have you seen the underdog beat the favorite before? Life is unpredictable, and the underdogs regularly have their days.
The often cited phrase "Aim for the moon, at least if you miss you will be among the stars" is more than just a cliche. Keep it mind always, because there is a lot of truth in it. By chasing the big opportunities that arise, you will be pushing yourself to be the best that you can possibly can be, and by doing that you will be in a better position in failing than you would in if you had done nothing at all. You might not always get exactly what you were aiming for, but the second and third prizes are often worthwhile.
Your self-confidence will improve by following this approach and so will the confidence that others have you in, as they will see you as being someone with a positive, can-do attitude, which is the type of attitude that others like to be around, and like to believe in. Whilst you should not be overly concerned with what others think of you, it is not something to be ignored either. By having support from others, you will have people to lean on and give you a boost the next time that you are aiming for the moon, and that little extra could be just what you need to see you get there.

By Robin Sharma

1. Remember that leadership isn’t about your position. It’s about your influence.

2. Get fit like a pro athlete

4. Protect your good name. An impeccable reputation takes a lifetime to build. And 60 seconds to lose

5. Surround yourself with positive, ethical people who are committed to excellence

6. Remember that even a 1% daily innovation rate amounts to at least a 100% rate of innovation in 100 days

7. Believe in your dreams (even when others laugh at them)

8. Measure your success, not by your net worth but by your self worth (and how happy you feel)

9. Take an intelligent risk every 24 hours. No try-No Win.

10. Read “Buffett: The Making of an American Capitalist”

11. Watch “Man on Wire”

17. Read your Big 5 every morning while the rest of the world is asleep

18. Read “As You Think”. At least twice this year.

19. Be willing to fail. It’s the price of greatness

32. Give more than you receive (another of the truths of happiness)

33. Have your 1/3/5/10/25 years goals recorded on paper and review them weekly

34. Be patient. Slow and steady wins the race. The only reason businesses that went from zero to a billion in a year or two get featured in magazines is because 99% of businesses require a lot more time to win

34. Underpromise and then overdeliver

35. See part of your job as “a developer of people” (whether you work in the boardroom or the mailroom)

Power to Achieve

2009-12-26T15:17:00.000-08:00

Motivation - The foundation of becoming motivated to succeed at anything begins with intention; a desire to complete a worthwhile goal. As you are seeking motivational improvement it is critical that your subconscious mind knows that you have a worthwhile goal in mind that you would like to achieve and complete.

Once this part of you has this information, it must act upon that information. This tape will help you achieve new heights of success by helping you to visually clearly what it that you look forward to having the experience of achieving and completing. A goal could be something that will benefit you or benefit others.

Goal Achievement - This is an extremely powerful and one of the most useful sessions you will ever find! Achieving your goals will seem so much easier to you with daily listening to this program as you learn to open up your childlike qualities that know how to imagine and believe in all their dreams coming true. You can too and you will as you learn to feel what it is like to achieve your goals while deep in your subconscious mind.

Positive Thinking - Why do different people react differently to the same situation? Why do similar life events evoke such varying reactions as depression, anxiety, hostility, elation, and even indifference?

Almost every minute of your conscious life you are engaging in self-talk, your internal thought language. These are the sentences with which you describe and interpret the world. By making a choice to change the way we think about the events in our lives, you can free yourself from overreacting and stress. As you learn to think in more positive ways, you attract more of what you want into your life.

Master the Art of Self- Discipline - Discover the Art of Self-Discipline by using the power of your mind to support you in keeping those big and small commitments you make with yourslf. In this session you will make a connection with a part of you known as your higher self, which will be there to help you to achieve discipline through keeping your agreements with yourself.

"Delight Yourself in the Lord"

2009-09-05T11:03:00.000-07:00

"Delight Yourself in the Lord"

By Terry Dean

“Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.”
Psalms 37:4

There are several ways you can look at this scripture. The first is that if you delight yourself in the Lord, God will answer your prayers and give you what you’ve been desiring. I believe that, but also look at something else it is saying to us. If you delight yourself in the Lord, he will give you the desires of your heart. He will put those desires in you.

If you’re focused on Him first and have put Him first in your life, then the desires in your heart also come from Him. If it your heart’s desire to go to college to become a doctor, then that desire has been placed there by God. If your heart’s desire is to own real estate, then you know where you should be focusing your attention. If your heart’s desire is to start a business, then He is the one who put that desire in you.

Starting a business can be a risky venture, so a lot of people go through life living way below their purpose because of fear. You’ll have to step out of your comfort zone. You’ll have to spend time learning all the aspects of business. You’ll have to put money at risk to study, research, and find people who can work with you. It is not always easy. There are millions of Christians who go through their whole life working a mediocre job knowing there is something greater for them. They get up and go to work day after day…while their heart cries out for something more. You can have so much more. You can complete your calling. If you haven’t already started, then use this book as your kick in the seat of your pants to get you moving.

Make a decision today you won’t just do what is most comfortable. You’re going to step up to your next level in life. It is time for God’s champions to come forth. It is time for people who love God to start taking action in the business world. For too long the church has looked at pastors and evangelists as being the only ones with a special calling from God. This is wrong!

People who are “in the ministry” are simply those who are called to teach others in the church. Most real ministry takes place outside of the four church walls. You are called of God as one of his ministers. A Christian business person is a calling. It is a ministry. You may be the only Jesus people around you ever see. We are called to be the light of the world, and we shouldn’t be hiding our lights in the church building. Be someone who really cares about your customers. Be someone who has integrity in business. Be someone that other people can look up to and look forward to doing business with. Christian business people who let their lights shine in the marketplace are God’s champions.

My prayer is to raise up new champions for God. Be a champion. Step out into the marketplace and become what you’ve been created to be. You have talents and skills God has put in you, and you need to be using them. There is a business out there waiting for you that only you can do. Don’t live life in fear…but step out of the boat like Peter and be one of God’s champions.

Continually put God first in your life and obey His Word. Seek God and let Him guide you. He may give you new ideas in the company you work for which greatly increase their profits. You may get profit sharing on those ideas. You may have a desire to start your own Internet business like I did. You may want to start a baking company. You may want to start a cleaning business. You may want to buy land or houses. You may study books on stock investing. You may learn about commodity investing. You may go back to college.

I can’t tell you His plans for you, but I can tell you a few principles about His plans. His plan will always be too big for you. They don’t just come Super-sized. They come in God-size.

Don't Be Afraid, Be Brave

2009-03-16T14:33:00.000-07:00

What I'm about to tell you will make you afraid.

Probably very afraid.

But more importantly it has the potential of making you a bucket load of money.

Listen carefully: A woman living in downtown Ontario, Canada came out of her house and saw 3 old men with long white beards sitting in her front yard.

She did not recognize them.

She said "I don't think I know you, but you must be hungry. Please come in and have something to eat."

"Is the man of the house home?" they asked.

"No", she replied. "He's out."

"Then we cannot come in", they replied.

In the evening when her husband came home, she told him what had happened.

"Go tell them I am home and invite them in!”

The woman went out and invited the men in.

"We do not go into a house together," they replied.

"Why is that?" she asked.

One of the old men explained: "His name is Wealth," he said pointing to one of his friends, and said pointing to another one, "He is Success, and I am Love." Then he added, "Now go in and discuss with your husband which one of us you want in your home."

The woman went in and told her husband what was said.

Her husband was overjoyed. "How nice!!” he said. "Since that's the case, let's invite Wealth. Let him come and fill our home with wealth!"

His wife disagreed. "My dear, why don't we invite Success?"

Their daughter was listening from the other corner of the house. She jumped in with her own suggestion: "Would it not be better to invite Love? Our home will then be filled with love!"

"Let us heed our daughter's advice," said the husband to his wife.

"Go out and invite Love to be our guest."

The woman went out and asked the 3 old men, "Which one of you is Love? Please come in and be our guest."

Love got up and started walking toward the house. The other 2 also got up and followed him. Surprised, the lady asked Wealth and Success: "I only invited Love, why are you coming in?"

The old men replied together: "If you had invited Wealth or Success, the other two of us would've stayed out, but since you invited Love, wherever he goes, we go with him. Wherever there is Love, there is also Wealth and Success!"

I heard that story from an amazing friend of mine, Bob Proctor. He went on and told me this: "Most people don't have wealth or success in their lives and that's probably because they don't know how to love. Whether you want just wealth, success or love in your life... I can help you achieve it."

I believe in Bob Proctor 100%. He has helped me achieve great success in life, and he can help you too. But there's one condition...

You've got to give him 6 minutes of your life everyday till the day he helps you achieve your goals. Is that a deal? Okay, then as a first step, go to this website right now: Six Minutes To Success

Make sure you read all the way through to the end. There is a HUGE secret hidden within the website.

Warmly,

Wake Up

2009-01-14T07:32:00.001-08:00

A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousands of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work.

Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule.

A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping continued to walk.

A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work.

The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk turning his head all the time. This action was repeated by several other children. All the parents, without exception, forced them to move on.

In the 45 minutes the musician played, only 6 people stopped and stayed for a while. About 20 gave him money but continued to walk their normal pace. He collected $32. When he finished playing and silence took over, no one noticed it. No one applauded, nor was there any recognition.

No one knew this but the violinist was one of the best musicians in the world. He played one of the most intricate pieces ever written with a violin worth 3.5 million dollars.

Two days before his playing in the subway, Joshua Bell sold out at a theater in Boston and the seats average $100.

This is a real story. Joshua Bell playing incognito in the metro station was organized by the Washington Post as part of a social experiment about perception, taste and priorities of people. The outlines were: in a commonplace environment at an inappropriate hour: Do we perceive beauty? Do we stop to appreciate it? Do we recognize the talent in an unexpected context?

One of the possible conclusions from this experience could be: If we do not have a moment to stop and listen to one of the best musicians in the world playing the best music ever written, how many other things are we missing?
