As the stresses in our tension filled lives continue to mount, learning to relax has become increasingly difficult. Today, using natural techniques is a preferred approach by many, as many people are leery of turning to medical assistance. There are umpteen natural styles of relaxation; there is no “one way”. You need to find the one that works for you, and stick with it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Guided Imagery - is exactly what it says it is. Picture yourself in a world filled with peace. Many people joking refer to this as the “happy place”, but that is essentially what it is. First you need to lie down and close your eyes and think of the “happy place”. Select a place that you love being in. It could be a white sand beach with beautiful sea breezes whipping around you, or a grassy picnic in the mountains, it can be anything and any place you want it to be. It does not have to be someplace you’ve been, it could even be someplace you want to be. Your imagination is your limitation. While you are imagining yourself there, pay attention to every sound, smell, warmth, feeling, sensation. Place yourself in such an imaginary place and try to relax. Use this place as often as you need to and whenever you want to. “Pretending” that you are somewhere that you want to be when you can’t be, can be very soothing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quiet Ears - In this technique, order your body to start unwinding by physically forcing quiet into your body. Lie on your back or whatever position is comfortable and close your eyes. Put your hands behind your head and place your thumbs inside your ears closing the ear canal. A high-pitched rushing sound will occur, this is expected. Don't heed anything else. Your arms will relax by themselves and you will eventually fall asleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;White Noise - commonly known as white sound. Since it utilizes many frequencies of sounds from high to low and back it has what is known as a “masking” effect. The noise itself will appear like a whooshing noise and many feel that it is very similar to the sound of rain or wind in the trees. Studies have shown it to be capable of filling anyone with an inner peace as it is a sound derived from nature. You can purchase White Noise CD’s or noisemakers through your local bookstore or retailers online.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are just a few relaxation techniques you can try on your own, there are so many out there. Each of these relaxation techniques operates on the same principles as exercise does. Time and practice is required to use them effectively.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9046873657666763354-1902702907638652069?l=nycelady130.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheAbstractMind/~4/PSbkIdNbn-k" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheAbstractMind/~3/PSbkIdNbn-k/how-important-relaxation-is.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Penny)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Xi7V6_li5Sw/SRolWb9pApI/AAAAAAAAANM/8Iiue5Mn2aE/s72-c/relax.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://nycelady130.blogspot.com/2008/11/how-important-relaxation-is.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9046873657666763354.post-8859396373520224973</guid><pubDate>Fri, 17 Oct 2008 19:54:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-10-17T13:45:19.953-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Tech</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Humor</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Arts</category><title>8 Awakening Techniques of  Privacy while using your Laptop in Public Places..</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/r-CNDyvSVIOskkOnfqw7lwnI0n4/0/da"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/r-CNDyvSVIOskkOnfqw7lwnI0n4/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;

That means that an Online personality check really matters! Since it made 25% positive impression and 38% for a negative impression..This really calls our attention! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Internet has been a very big influence to all of us now and we (that includes me!)have to admit that being at Social Networking sites is a lot of fun! This a modernized way of building friendship, special relationship, interaction with groups with same interests, finding long lost friends, a tool for communication with friends and even used for business etc.. That is how Facebook, MySpace and other Social Networking Sites important to each of us. This is why it captured my attention when I read this issue at &lt;a href=http://collegeapps.about.com/od/theartofgettingaccepted/a/Facebook.htm&gt;About.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maybe now, we just have to be more aware that online check of school professors or maybe even supervisors of big companies do online personality check through these Social Networking Sites.. Or they may accidentally see us through other people’s network..It’s important for us to also create a good online impression and keep in mind who might be looking at your social networking sites??? &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;So, what should you do to clean up your online image? Best Advice: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;* Remove or block any photos that show you drinking alcohol, even if you were in a  &lt;br /&gt;  situation where it was legal&lt;br /&gt;* Remove or block any photos that show you with people who are obviously under the &lt;br /&gt;  influence&lt;br /&gt;* Remove or block photos with rude gestures (someone who doesn't know you won't find  &lt;br /&gt;  that middle finger shot funny)&lt;br /&gt;* Remove or block photos that are sexually suggestive&lt;br /&gt;* Remove or block any photos that portray illegal activity&lt;br /&gt;* Remove or block any photos that would make an admissions officer question your &lt;br /&gt;  character or judgment&lt;br /&gt;* Unsubscribe from any groups that show bias or bigotry (those "I hate Jane Doe" and &lt;br /&gt;  "Old People Shouldn't Drive" groups suggest you're NOT the type of person a college &lt;br /&gt;  wants to admit) &lt;br /&gt;* Unsubscribe from any groups that promote illegal activity (again, the "I Love &lt;br /&gt;  Getting Stoned" and "Budweiser Rules" groups will give the admissions folks &lt;br /&gt;  reservations about your application) &lt;br /&gt;* Remove contact information such as your phone number and address--not only is this &lt;br /&gt;  a safety issue, but inclusion of such information shows bad judgment on your part.&lt;br /&gt;* Choose an attractive and professional-looking photo for your profile picture&lt;br /&gt;* Visit your site frequently to untag any unflattering photos your friends may have &lt;br /&gt;  posted&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another option is you block access to your account and limit only for your friend’s view. This would be a good advice but still “housecleaning” is a good idea. It's hard to keep track of your online friends once you have hundreds of them, and it's hard to know who might be looking over the shoulder of one of your "friends."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You might not know that you can turn the tables on those nosy employers and admissions officers who might be snooping around your site. Instead, use these Social Networking Sites to promote good feedback for yourself.. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Post pictures that show you doing constructive things (reading to kids, doing    &lt;br /&gt;  volunteer work, restoring a car) &lt;br /&gt;- Post pictures that show you and your friends in a positive light -- colleges and &lt;br /&gt;  employers want applicants with healthy social skills&lt;br /&gt;- Post travel pictures -- those worldly experiences are a plus&lt;br /&gt;- Join groups that have positive messages (breast cancer awareness, peace not war, &lt;br /&gt;  and so on)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do it in a positive way for promoting yourself and increase your chance of acceptance may it be for College or in a Big Company.. Don't let this hinder your Big Opportunities in life..Let's start it now!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9046873657666763354-8486609975865341565?l=nycelady130.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheAbstractMind/~4/jO8UEMEbA04" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheAbstractMind/~3/jO8UEMEbA04/best-advice-for-social-networking.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Penny)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Xi7V6_li5Sw/SOR2Ni6woKI/AAAAAAAAANE/BuernVdoyY8/s72-c/socialnet.gif" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://nycelady130.blogspot.com/2008/10/best-advice-for-social-networking.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9046873657666763354.post-2293951574560333482</guid><pubDate>Tue, 23 Sep 2008 15:41:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-09-23T08:46:42.835-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Odd Stuff</category><title>The importance of forgiveness..</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/egH_h7lbgPV3XOQ02kj_zK76qVc/0/da"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/egH_h7lbgPV3XOQ02kj_zK76qVc/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;

It's such a hard thing to do, but it can be so liberating to the soul. What makes it difficult for most of us to do is the way we define it. We think of forgiveness as meaning that we should say all is forgotten and things will go back to what they were. This Biblical definition of forgiveness is very hard for most of us to swallow. How can you forget the unforgettable? How can you forgive the unforgivable? To enjoy the benefits of forgiveness, however, we needn't go that far. All that's really required is that we make the decision to move forward, to let go of the old hurts. We don't have to condone what's been done. What's wrong is still wrong. We don't have to invite the person back into our lives or even be friendly with them. What we do have to do is allow ourselves to release all the negative emotions associated with that person. As long as we hold onto the pain, we are choosing to allow that person's past actions to continue to hurt us. We can also choose to stop letting them hurt us. That's a definition of forgiveness that's more doable for those of us who are less than saintly.&lt;br /&gt;Here is an exercise you can do right now to let go of pain and begin to regain your life:&lt;br /&gt;Make a list of those who have hurt you and how.. Then go to a quiet place where you can be alone and think of each of these painful situations. Think of these in detail, allow yourself to feel the hurt. Then place yourself in the other person's shoes. What do you think motivated them to behave the way they did? Were they abused themselves? Do they suffer from a mental illness? What fears and insecurities motivated their behavior? Now, think of how they are stealing your personal power. Does this make you angry? Do you want that to stop? Yes! Now, fill out this part of the exercise for each person on your list. Speak the words out loud as if you are speaking directly to them.&lt;br /&gt;Forgiveness will make your heart and mind be at peace..and free of stress and worries..Try learning and teaching yourself to forgive. Its a wonderful feeling when you forgive someone you hate or your best enemy..Its just like healing yourself and living a new life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source: &lt;a href=”http://depression.about.com/od/copingskills/a/forgiveness.htm”&gt;About.com-Forgiveness&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9046873657666763354-2293951574560333482?l=nycelady130.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheAbstractMind/~4/qGcPq0nTJyE" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheAbstractMind/~3/qGcPq0nTJyE/importance-of-forgiveness.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Penny)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Xi7V6_li5Sw/SNkPTe54ooI/AAAAAAAAAM8/-5MtyVMXNc8/s72-c/forgiveness.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://nycelady130.blogspot.com/2008/09/importance-of-forgiveness.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9046873657666763354.post-5725397452246401288</guid><pubDate>Fri, 19 Sep 2008 20:37:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-09-19T13:54:49.263-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Videos</category><title>One of the 15 Most Artistically Awesome Advertisements</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/3xYEbNrcGpwIvJluvDgV1zZqx3I/0/da"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/3xYEbNrcGpwIvJluvDgV1zZqx3I/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;

But the question always is do we really need to spend more money on fashion?? Or when buying clothes, does price really matters? For me, fashion is not just all about price, brand, or the latest trend we have now.. But you can always create your own fashion..that would not cost you much..You can always be fashionable in a practical way..The following are the 5 budget shopping tips:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;1. Look out for Sale schedules&lt;/span&gt; – Shopping on sale is fun! You can find a lot of good quality clothes and stuff that's right for you in a reasonable price.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;2. Know what looks good on you&lt;/span&gt;- Just because it looks great in a magazine doesn’t mean it will look great on you. Be honest with yourself about your body. It will save you time and money. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;3. Leave credit cards at home&lt;/span&gt; - This is the very important tip.. I've experienced it myself..Bringing a credit card with you all the time is dangerous. The biggest temptation you can't  resist when you have credit card is buying anything you want without any control. Paying with cash gives you an instant visual indication of how much you’re spending. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;4. Head to the outlet malls&lt;/span&gt; - Shopping at the outlets of your favorite stores and designers can save you a bundle. Here you can find good stuffs with good price. And that would suiit your budget.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;5. Remember the 70/30 rule&lt;/span&gt; - Fashionistas with limited budgets should follow the 70/30 rule: 70% of your closet should be classic pieces, 30% trendy pieces.

Hot dogs&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because they are high in nitrates, the Cancer Prevention Coalition advises that children eat no more than 12 hot dogs a month. If you can't live without hot dogs, buy those made without sodium nitrate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Xi7V6_li5Sw/SKWUlrMJSEI/AAAAAAAAALs/licj-aIRFr0/s1600-h/ATT01406.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 156px; height: 139px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Xi7V6_li5Sw/SKWUlrMJSEI/AAAAAAAAALs/licj-aIRFr0/s400/ATT01406.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234753516857804866" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;2. Processed meats and bacon&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also high in the same sodium nitrates found in hot dogs, bacon, and other processed meats raise the risk of heart disease. The saturated fat in bacon also contributes to cancer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Xi7V6_li5Sw/SKWU0QfZo8I/AAAAAAAAAL0/ILI8_kFZ3ew/s1600-h/ATT01407.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 169px; height: 126px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Xi7V6_li5Sw/SKWU0QfZo8I/AAAAAAAAAL0/ILI8_kFZ3ew/s400/ATT01407.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234753767388849090" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;3. Doughnuts&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Doughnuts are cancer-causing double trouble. First, they are made with white flour, sugar, and hydrogenated oils, then fried at high temperatures. Doughnuts, says Adams , may be the worst food you can possibly eat to raise your risk of cancer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Xi7V6_li5Sw/SKWVKsms1VI/AAAAAAAAAL8/F4bU11gWd54/s1600-h/ATT01408.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 190px; height: 144px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Xi7V6_li5Sw/SKWVKsms1VI/AAAAAAAAAL8/F4bU11gWd54/s400/ATT01408.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234754152892781906" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;4. French fries&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Like doughnuts, French fries are made with hydrogenated oils and then fried at high temperatures. They also contain cancer- causing acryl amides which occur during the frying process. They should be called cancer fries, not French fries, said Adams .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Xi7V6_li5Sw/SKWWhaDPhpI/AAAAAAAAAME/G6218XLYVoY/s1600-h/ATT01409.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Xi7V6_li5Sw/SKWWhaDPhpI/AAAAAAAAAME/G6218XLYVoY/s400/ATT01409.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5234755642560841362" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;5. Chips, crackers, and cookies&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All are usually made with white flour and sugar. Even the ones whose labels claim to be free of trans-fats generally contain small amounts of trans-fats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, what are you waiting for?

But his business life was always successful as he was the senior partner in the largest wholesale dry goods company in the Midwest but for some reason, at the age of 58, he committed suicide. His body was found in a nearby park with a bullet in his head and the gun still clenched in his hand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some claimed that Forepaugh worried needlessly about his financial affairs, leading to his suicide, but there wer some feedbacks that his death had more to do with an affair of the heart than money. And they may have been right.... upon learning of his death, one of the household maids, a young girl named Molly, also killed herself. She was found hanged from an overhead light in an upstairs room. The other servants in the house believed that Molly and Forepaugh had an affair and thats why he killed himself realizing that the two of them could never be together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many believe that it may be Molly's ghost who has come back to haunt the place. Restaurant owner James Crnkovich recalled a special event at the place where the servers wore l9th century period clothing as costumes. As a waitress was setting up for dinner, an unknown woman in the same type of clothing (although not a dress supplied by the costume company) walked down a nearby hallway and disappeared. Staff members also talk of unusual events that happen with the customers and other employees like lights turning on and off in the basement, cold chills, strange noises and of course, the ghost of Molly.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9046873657666763354-1225103317755322506?l=nycelady130.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheAbstractMind/~4/W60qq57wHRs" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheAbstractMind/~3/W60qq57wHRs/story-behind-forepaughs-restaurant.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Penny)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Xi7V6_li5Sw/SKR4aOuDe-I/AAAAAAAAALU/ovHEUvEfcyg/s72-c/forepaugh.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://nycelady130.blogspot.com/2008/08/story-behind-forepaughs-restaurant.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9046873657666763354.post-15668538659769290</guid><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jul 2008 19:12:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-12-12T20:14:50.576-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">goals</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">feelings</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">goal setting</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Interests</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">top 10 steps to succesful goals</category><title>Top 10 Steps to a Succesful Goal</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/U17yAaXElzx6joz3vuE1m2YywV0/0/da"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/U17yAaXElzx6joz3vuE1m2YywV0/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;

We have goals to keep our current job, or to get a different one. We have goals to save for the future, or to travel, take a vacation, or purchase the things we need and want to make our lives more enjoyable. &lt;br /&gt;An important distinction, however, is that top achievers are serious and  focused on their goals, while many of the rest of us are not..ended up turning their back to the goals they set.. Top achievers know that the wording, structure, timing and format of a goal can make it’s achievement much easier  nor far more difficult. Top achievers understand the basic skills for setting and reaching their goals, every time! They know how to design and set goals that will lead to success!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would like to share with you these 10 most important steps to set and achieve your goals Written by &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Dr. Philip E. Humbert&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Reachable goals are SPECIFIC. Top achievers know that to reach their goals, the brain must know exactly, precisely, what they are trying to accomplish. Never word a goal with vague terms like “some” or “a little bit”, or “more”. Be specific! If you want to lose 8 pounds and reach a weight of 175, specify those exact numbers. If you want to save $200 this month, be exact. Your brain can help you accomplish almost anything if it knows precisely what you are aiming for.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Reachable goals are SIMPLE. Many people describe their goals in complex terms of retiring on the beach in Hawaii, with nice cars and lots of money, and…. Their list goes on and on. Anyone of those things is a great goal, but the combination becomes over whelming and the brain gets confused. If you want to retire in Hawaii, just say so! If you want to increase your sales by 10% this month, say so! Keep your goals simple, clear, and focused.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Reachable goals are significant. No one can muster the enthusiasm, hard work and&lt;br /&gt;courage to reach a goal they don’t really care about. A reachable goal is one you really, really want! It’s something that will change your life, enhance your health or wealth, and make you proud. It gets your juices flowing, gets you up in the morning, and keeps you going all day long, because it is important! Set goals that are worth achieving!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Reachable goals are STRATEGIC. High achievers know that the best goals accomplish&lt;br /&gt;many great outcomes, all at one time. Running a 10K race will almost certainly: 1) feel great! 2)help you lose weight. 3) lower your cholesterol level 4) strengthen your heart 5) lower you risk of heart disease 6) increase your energy and stamina, and 7) improve your outlook. Design your goals to strategically impact as many areas of your life as possible. You’ll have more reasons to reach your goal and more excitement when you do!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. Reachable goals are MEASURABLE. A goal without a measurable outcome is just a pipedream. You can’t achieve a pound of “happiness” or 6 inches of “self-esteem”, but you can get a new job. You CAN run a mile in under 7 minutes, or do 100 sit-ups. Someone has wisely observed that, “What gets measured, gets done.” Define your goals in terms of height, weight, dollars, inches, or hours. Then measure your progress until you achieve your desired outcome.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Reachable goals are RATIONAL. To reach your goal, you will need a plan, a path, and a vehicle for getting there. Your goals must make sense! When you explain them to friends and family, your goals should create excitement, draw support, and encouragement. Your goals should be just out of reach, but not out of sight! You want to stretch to be your best, not strain after &lt;br /&gt;after impossible dreams. Set goals you CAN and WILL achieve!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. Reachable goals are TANGIBLE. Choose goals that you can see, hear, smell or touch. Go for things you will enjoy and that you can clearly visualize. The brain has hard time going for “financial security”, but it can visualize a bank statement with nice, large numbers on it! Define your goals in terms that excite the senses, then go for it with all your heart!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. Reachable goals are WRITTEN. High achievers always know precisely what they want,&lt;br /&gt;because they’ve written it down. Often, they write a short description of their goals every single morning, as a personal reminder of their priorities and their objectives. The act of writing your goals down vastly increases your chance of success. Write it down! Then, keep your notes where&lt;br /&gt;you can see and read them every day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. Reachable goals are SHARED. We are far more likely to stick to our plan and reach our goals if we know our friends and family support us. Being part of a team increases our determination, our stamina, and our courage. Caution: Never share your goals with anyone who may ridicule,tease or discourage you! The world is full of doubters and you have no time for them. But, find a support team, a group of cheerleaders, and a coach who will encourage you every step of the way. High achievers count on and work with other winners!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. Reachable goals are CONSISTENT WITH YOUR VALUES. One of the biggest reasons&lt;br /&gt;people fail to achieve their goals is that they have conflict between their behavior and their values. However, when your values and your goals are in agreement, there is no stopping you! Clarify your values first, then set simple, specific, measurable, tangible, written goals that are consistent with those values. You will achieve them, every single time!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Aim high! And do not be afraid to reach your goals in life for the success is in your hands..” Have Faith and trust inn yourself! Good Luck!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9046873657666763354-15668538659769290?l=nycelady130.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheAbstractMind/~4/a0hJKk0PW18" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheAbstractMind/~3/a0hJKk0PW18/top-10-steps-to-succesful-goal.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Penny)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_Xi7V6_li5Sw/SJIURBEvRlI/AAAAAAAAALM/xxl0mZRj-yQ/s72-c/goal-setting.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://nycelady130.blogspot.com/2008/07/top-10-steps-to-succesful-goal.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9046873657666763354.post-6963235125405385989</guid><pubDate>Mon, 21 Jul 2008 15:55:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-07-21T09:40:10.914-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Music</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Videos</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">God</category><title>Who am I - A must see video!</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TbHBFT_1RTtB3b-MvizdR_gQE5Q/0/da"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/TbHBFT_1RTtB3b-MvizdR_gQE5Q/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;

One of the most important mission one should fulfill before we do our daily tasks. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you ever thought how important a 5 – 10 minutes breakfast everyday??&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Due to some researchers, a diabetologist – Dr. Rey Salinel, In the Morning, Our body is already in the mood of fasting. Half of our body’s glucose has been drained that needs to be replenished. That is how “Breakfast” is very important in our daily lives.. Because we need to Break the Fast! To gain what has been drained.. But, we should also bear in mind that you just cannot eat anything and everything under the sun!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the nutritionists, carbohydrates and protein, low in sugar and fat with a lot of fiber are the best ingredients of a good breakfast. Carbohydrates can be found in rice, oatmeal, bread and it is as well advised that one should eat one whole wheat bread and brown rice both of that contain lots of fiber. Proteins is present in egg, cheese and tuna but beware of those high fat content. So, if you feel like having a sandwich for your breakfast, avoid using mayonnaise as dressing since it contains a lot of fat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Just a friendly breakfast advice&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; especially for those busy people hurrying up for work every morning: &gt;&gt;  You can have two slices of whole wheat toast with a slice of light cheddar cheese, oatmeal with fruit, whole wheat cereal with skim milk, scrambled eggs with toast or whole wheat bread with tuna.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, lets have a healthy breakfast to fuel up our bodies !!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9046873657666763354-2751603050257783477?l=nycelady130.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheAbstractMind/~4/7u6eHvWSuj4" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheAbstractMind/~3/7u6eHvWSuj4/are-you-having-healthy-breakfast.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Penny)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Xi7V6_li5Sw/SH7t5LcF3RI/AAAAAAAAAK8/AzrfInIXmt8/s72-c/breakfast.JPG" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">2</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://nycelady130.blogspot.com/2008/07/are-you-having-healthy-breakfast.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9046873657666763354.post-7090132291990668114</guid><pubDate>Wed, 16 Jul 2008 14:33:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-12-12T20:14:51.042-08:00</atom:updated><title>A prayer before entering office</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/EcuhvpTTbbAssgDmILfoAEHxgMY/0/da"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/EcuhvpTTbbAssgDmILfoAEHxgMY/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;

When citrulline reacts with the body's enzymes, it is changed into arginine, an amino acid for the heart, circulatory and for our immune systems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One Researcher for A&amp;M's Fruit and Vegetable Improvement Center in Texas named Bhimu Patil, quoted in an article: "Arginine boosts nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels, the same basic effect that Viagra has, to treat erectile dysfunction and also even prevent it. Watermelon may not be as organ-specific as Viagra, but it's a great way to relax blood vessels without any drug side effects." In the flesh and rind of watermelon, a Citrulline an amino acid, Its name is derived from citrullus which is the Latin word for watermelon, is found.  So for now, let's wait and see if there would be an increase in the consumption of the whole fruit.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/9046873657666763354-6150044397761395585?l=nycelady130.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/TheAbstractMind/~4/8uNAW8QELb0" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheAbstractMind/~3/8uNAW8QELb0/watermelon-effects.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Penny)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">4</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://nycelady130.blogspot.com/2008/07/watermelon-effects.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9046873657666763354.post-9042848952895161327</guid><pubDate>Fri, 04 Jul 2008 22:45:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-07-16T08:47:50.014-07:00</atom:updated><title>Happy 4th of July America!!!</title><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/qKe3F7UwvhqSoJON-dmjFx24Das/0/da"&gt;&lt;img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/qKe3F7UwvhqSoJON-dmjFx24Das/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"&gt;&lt;/img&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br/&gt;
