RETRAIN YOUR BRAIN

Exercise Benefits Memory, Mental Health

Researchers at Dartmouth College have found that exercise can benefit memory, as well as help children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Over the past few years data has shown that exercise creates neurobiological changes, according to David Bucci, an associate professor in the department of psychological and brain sciences.

His latest research finds that the effects of exercise are different on memory, as well as on the brain, depending on whether the exerciser is an adolescent or an adult. Researchers have also identified a gene that seems to mediate the degree to which exercise has a beneficial effect, which has implications for the use of exercise as an intervention for mental illness, Bucci said.

He said he began his pursuit of the link between exercise and memory with ADHD, one of the most common childhood psychological disorders, noting he is concerned that the treatment of choice is medication.

"The notion of pumping children full of psycho-stimulants at an early age is troublesome," Bucci said. "We frankly don't know the long-term effects of administering drugs at an early age — drugs that affect the brain — so looking for alternative therapies is clearly important."

Anecdotal evidence from colleagues at the University of Vermont pointed Bucci toward studying exercise and ADHD. Researchers observed that ADHD children in Vermont summer camps, athletes or team sports players were found to respond better to behavioral interventions than more sedentary children. While systematic empirical data is lacking, this association of exercise with a reduction of characteristic ADHD behaviors was persuasive enough for Bucci.

Coupled with his interest in learning and memory and their underlying brain functions, Bucci and teams of graduate and undergraduate students embarked upon a series of experiments to investigate the potential connection between exercise and brain function.

Early on, they found that laboratory rats that exhibit ADHD-like behavior demonstrated that exercise was able to reduce the extent of these behaviors. The researchers also found that exercise was more beneficial for female rats than males, similar to how it affects male and female children with ADHD.

Next they investigated a mechanism through which exercise seems to improve learning and memory called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which is involved in the growth of the developing brain. The degree of BDNF in exercising rats correlated positively with improved memory.

The researchers also found that it had longer-lasting effects in adolescents compared to adults.

"The implication is that exercising during development, as your brain is growing, is changing the brain in concert with normal developmental changes, resulting in your having more permanent wiring of the brain in support of things like learning and memory," says Bucci. "It seems important to [exercise] early in life."

Bucci's latest paper was a move to take the studies of exercise and memory in rats and apply them to humans. The subjects in this new study were Dartmouth undergraduates and individuals recruited from the Hanover community.

According to Bucci, an interesting finding was that a person's genotype for BDNF affected whether exercise benefited learning and memory.

"This could mean that you may be able to predict which ADHD child, if we genotype them and look at their DNA, would respond to exercise as a treatment and which ones wouldn't," he said.

The notion that exercise is good for health, including mental health, is not a huge surprise, he concludes. "The interesting question in terms of mental health and cognitive function is how exercise affects mental function and the brain," he said.

Live In The Moment

Books By Timothy Kendrick
Live in the moment. Yesterday is already done and tomorrow may never
come. All you have is the present. Every moment is precious, so make
every moment count!
When you immerse yourself in the present moment, you don't
even think about – or fear – what may be around the corner.
✴ The best example I've ever seen about living in the moment is the
movie The Peaceful Warrior. The movie is based on the life of Dan
Millman, a world champion athlete.
When a tragic accident leaves him paralyzed, a mentor appears who
teaches him to live in the moment. Although the doctors say he may
never walk again, Dan stuns them all when he uses his philosophy to
become a world class athlete once again.
Not only can living in the moment eliminate your fears for the future,
but it can also propel you toward a life of happiness!

Trust In Your Self

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Wed, 23 May 2012 19:13:00 +0000

One way to help you formulate trust in yourself is to cut negativity in the mind by stating to yourself again and again, "Whatever happens in my life, I'll handle it with my faith!" I advise you emblazon this mighty affirmation on your mind. If you state it often enough, you'll ultimately trust it. And if you truly believe that you are able to handle anything that happens in your life and in the cosmos, what may you possibly have to fear? Zip!
So when the "what-if's" are driving you crazy, merely cut them off by saying over and over, "Whatever happens, I'll handle it with my faith!" You'll feel a sense of assurance and inner peace wash over you. "What if I lose my job? I'll deal with it." "What if my youngsters have hard times? I'll handle it. Whatever happens in my life, I'll handle it with my faith!”

I Am No Stranger To Self Help Books

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Tue, 22 May 2012 17:21:00 +0000

I am no stranger to self-help books. I've read dozens of them over the past few years, written several myself, and I've come to same conclusion most of you have – they don't really work.

Well, that's not quite true. There are some shining gems that actually give what they promise and actually provide quality content. And Mind Secrets Exposed is one of those few examples of a great self-help book that actually delivers on its promise.

Greg Frost is the brains behind Mind Secrets Exposed and his latest offering focuses on the enhancing the power of the mind so that it can accomplish great things. Mind Secrets Exposed is a comprehensive guide on harnessing the power of the mind and tapping into its hidden potential and channeling it into success and happiness.

With Mind Secrets Exposed, readers are promised the ability to gain success, wealth, happiness, peace and anything else they would like to accomplish or have. I am glad to say that it doesn't disappoint. Mind Secrets Exposed comes in two formats – an e-book and an audiobook, the standard for self-help books.

The book is written in a personal and casual manner, such that even the most novice of readers can grasp the concepts easily. Each chapter ends with action steps that provide tips and advice on implementing the chapter's lessons into the reader's daily life. These action steps are a welcome addition to the book, as it provides impetus and direction for the reader to take action – this way, the lessons in the book become more than just words and concepts and is turned into actual results.

Mind Secrets Exposed does not provide a quick and dirty scheme for becoming a better person – those books generally deal in myth and are typically not worth your money. Instead, Mind Secrets Exposed can turn you in a better person and a success machine with some investment in time and effort.

Beyond the book itself, Greg Frost has also included Quick Wealth System, which is a fast and easy training program on creating wealth in your life and a monthly newsletter that provides even more content dealing with success, the workings of the brain as well as a motivational and success coaching program.

The monthly newsletter, known as Success Monthly, is another highlight of Mind Secrets Exposed. It is a comprehensive guide on success, motivation and becoming an achiever and its articles and videos cover a wide range of topics that self-help enthusiasts will find incredibly useful. Probably the best feature of Success Monthly is a coaching program that aims to harness and improve your ability to achieve success and greatness. The coaching program is a great addition and supplement to the book itself, adding a more immediate and constant guide for readers who want to accomplish their goals.

Success Monthly is offered via a monthly membership scheme, but the first month is free for anyone who buys Mind Secrets Exposed. While paying a monthly fee might sound like too much of an investment for some, the content provided in the first month is enough to convince me to maintain my membership.

All in all, Mind Secrets Exposed is a fantastic addition to any library and is a must-read for anyone who is interested in unlocking the mind's full potential. The book promises to turn you into an achiever and a person capable of accomplishing anything and it delivers on that promise in spades.

I heartily recommend this book and it's a great investment – don't lose out on your chance to join the ranks of the elite!

Healing Wounds

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Sun, 20 May 2012 11:39:00 +0000

When going through our healing of wounds we likewise have an excellent chance to clear our inner 'file drawers' where aged, disregarded, buried matters are stored beside the fresh ones. These techniques are especially helpful in this respect, enabling us to decrease the strength of residual notions from old grief along with new, raw feelings from the fresh ones.
We likewise learn compassion by our own experiences of sufferings. This is generally acknowledged in the observance that many of the better caregivers for ill people are themselves injured healers. Closure isn't a time or date when you shut the door on your wounded feelings and feel it no longer. Closure begins the instant you soak up the fact that the situation happened. With each step along the path of healing wounds you take is a step toward further, deeper closure.
Several are led astray to feel they've reached an early end to their closure when they're in the grasp of waves of sorrow, anger and shame of the moment. Learning that healing has its own method, its own timing and its own meandering, hilly road toward ever better closure is a part of the process. It's an awareness regarding the procedure of grieving and healing; a growing intimacy with how your mind and feelings react and deal with emotional wounds.

Heartache over our losses and wounds stops us in our tracks. It assists us in realizing a lot of disregarded truths and to acquire many helpful and life-enhancing lessons.
If you trust in endurance of the spirit and that you are able to recover, you might have fewer anxieties and even reach a place of much richer and greater admiration for all of the chances, blessings and lessons you've had and will have in this life. You'll pull through the closure process with Appreciation for the great experiences you recall and the lessons acquired; with gratefulness for the enrichments accumulated in your life so far; and with acute anticipation for the graces yet to come.
In this life there is transience in all experiences. Recognizing an end will bear on every and each relationship we have, including the elemental end of our relationship with all we have lived in this life, helps us to treasure every experience a great deal more. This awareness might be one of the biggest benefits of transitioning through the healing process.
Once we come through such grave challenges, other issues in our life shrivel up in comparison. As we clean-cut issues and feelings in the present tense, we frequently discover like issues lurking in the same file drawers. These might have been stacked away many years before, at times when we didn't bear the resources to handle them.
At present, with the successes of managing problems of grief and healing, you can do an exhaustive clearing up of such unnecessary baggage that you carry with you in your unconscious. This is the acceptance of grief as a part of healing; as that which bestows deep meaning to life; as a chance for clarifications; and as the terrific teacher it may be.
This is a branching out of our positive cognizance. That is, when we understand we're safe and need not fear our past experiences - which is for a lot of people very difficult- then all additional stress and fears in our lives become nothing more than added lessons. We understand that everything in our lifetime is manageable; there's nothing we have to worry about or fear.
We may than accept everything in our life as a lesson. Rather than saying, "Oh, my goodness! How will I handle this challenge?" we can state, "Hmmm! I‟m curious what intriguing lessons I'll get from this invitation to look deeper inside myself?" or "I question what I'll discover to clear up next from the file drawer that this hurdle is directing me towards?"

Your Mind is Your #1 Doctor and Healer By Vishen Lakhiani

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Fri, 18 May 2012 19:50:00 +0000

Your Mind is Your #1 Doctor and Healer

By Vishen Lakhiani / Source: The Silva Method

How much do you really know about your mind's ability to influence your body? How far have you pushed your mind?

And I mean really pushed your it.

Yes, most of you out there know just how powerful your mind is but have you used it as a tool for healing? A savior for your health? I know these are pretty big words but when you consider the countless stories of people curing the incurable, terminal illnesses disappearing, and rapid recovery from all sorts of ailments using just the mind, it's hard not to call your mind your #1 healer.

While most of you just love going to the doctor's and paying those hefty fees for consultations and pharmaceutical drugs, consider this: A pain-free life, where you are so in tune with your body you know you're going to be sick before it happens. You know exactly how to stop it, heal it, and prevent it.

Sound too good to be true? I used to think so but just check out these stories below:

"Last August my daughter was diagnosed with a reoccurrence of breast cancer -- Stage 4, metastasized all over her body. She decided not to undergo whole brain radiation and chemotherapy the doctors suggested. She is using all natural healing methods, organic juice, food, and supplements -- and meditation. I have been helping her by using Silva healing techniques, visualizing the cancer going away -- and it is! 8 months later, the cancer is more than half gone. I am sure the Silva Method has played a significant role in her healing. Thanks a lot." - Barbara Szabo

"M.R., a lieutenant in the US Navy, has suffered of some heart arrhythmia and was prohibited to be on a flight. He explained 'I came to the Alpha level frequently and envisioned a perfect heart with no defects. Three weeks later I was examined. No mitral valve prolapse! A congenital defect of thirty-three years had disappeared. All the diagnostic equipment and tests revealed a perfect heart. I was returned to flight status.'" - Louise Owen, United States

So you may have noticed the connection between the two. And that would be Silva. As some of you may know, the Silva Method has transformed my life in the past so I know, firsthand, that this isn't just false hope or a coincidence.

These stories are real and they are a testament to how your mind can take back
control of your body and health.

My own experience of Silva started when I was 17. I started the book
Silva Mind Control Method (its name pre-1980s) and underwent some major
breakthroughs that had a direct impact on my health. This was how amazing the
Silva Method worked for me. A skin condition I had for 5 years cleared up in 5
weeks after I applied Jose Silva's imagery technique to focus on healing.

Later at the age of 17 I took the seminar and my abilities to heal myself only
accelerated. I remember once injuring my foot while practicing martial arts.
We were given an exercise to practice kicking a brick wall and stopping our
foot a few inches before striking the wall.

It was an exercise that required total focus and concentration. Except at the
last minute the phone rang, distracting me and causing my foot to go further
than it should and WHAM against the wall. What a difference a few inches makes.
This caused a massive swelling in my foot and a hairline fracture.

I sat down in pain and went into my Silva meditation level
(also known as the "Alpha" level) and applied the Pain Control technique I had
learned in the seminar. Within minutes I was able to reduce the pain, bring down
the swelling and make myself well enough to walk and go visit a doctor.

And do you know what the best part of all of this is? It's that YOU,
just like the people in the stories above and me, can be a self-healer too.
This is a power that all of you have. It's just incubating in your mind.
Waiting to be woken up!

Is Television a form of Mind Control?

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 16:32:00 +0000

We spend hours watching Television:

Sometimes it's watching our favorite show. Other times, it's to catch up on the news and other events of the day. But how do we know that everything that is reported is the truth? We watch news programs and documentaries believing that what we see is actual fact. Reports and information that are put accross the airways are supposed to be true. Right? Not always.

The best way to put a thought or idea into a person's head is to use the quickest method that reaches the largest number of people. Mass media, such as radio and television reach thousands of people each day. Information is repeated over and over as if it's on a playback loop. Breaking news is played live and then shown repeatedly throughout the day. This constant repetition embed's the information into our thoughts. Do we know the whole story? Probably not. Information is covered up, altered, or even left out altogether. We are told only what others want us to hear or what they want us to believe. Many viewers do not question the information they see on television. They assume that just because it is shown on the tube, it is accurate information. This is not always the case.

When a commercial is aired on television, all of its claims must be true. If not, they can be in trouble for bad advertising or making false claims. If the products we purchase are supposed to be advertised with complete honesty, then the news stories we watch should also containt the same honesty. Just because the information is repeated several times and embellished upon, does not make it accurate.

It is believed that mind control has been used for centuries to get people to do the bidding of others. Convincing someone to agree with another person's point of view is not all that difficult. If a person hears a concept over and over enough, they begin to believe it and all the hype that goes with it. Making a person or group of people believe a concept or thought pattern can influence them to do things they may not normally have considered.

Television commercials are perfect examples of mind control tactics:

Take a look at foods that are geared towards children. They are made out to be fun and nutritious but are actually full of sugar and additives. Many cereals are represented by cartoon characters and offer the chance of a toy in the box. Children are taught that the cartoon characters are their friends. The cereal itself is colorful and can have a variety of shapes and flavors. Colors and shapes make food visually appealling to toddlers and older children.

Men and women are enticed into watching certain television programs. Commercials that focus on adults may include scantily clad men and women following the old adage that, "sex sells." Many programs play on an individual's self esteem, implying that a person will feel better about themselves if they purchase a certain product or donate a specific amount of money. They are told repeatedly that the only way to get the things they desire, is to follow along and do as they suggest. Compliance with the rules will help things fall into place.

Commercials use catchy phrases to snag our attention. Once we are watching the televsion, they begin to show items that are visually appealing. They hold our attention with information that may or may not be completely true. Slogans and pitchlines are written in such a way to make us believe a product is are better than they actually. Several claims are too good to be true.

Watching television has been described as mind numbing. As we watch, changes take place in the brain. Activity in the higher functioning part of our brain, the neo-cortex, slows down while the limbic area begins to speed up, according to the article "Mass Mind Control Through Network Television". The limbic area of the brain governs primitive responses and allows a person to be more easily influenced. The voice of reason located in the neo-cortex is silenced.

Networks know the effects that certain programs and various types of advertising has on the human brain and they use that information to their advantage. Information and commercials that are meant to influence large numbers of people are played repeatedly during "prime time". Prime time is normally thought of as being family time or when children and the decision making members of the family are gathered in front of the television.

As the networks are in charge of programming, other agencies like the CIA and FCC influence much of what news stations can air or release to the public. They control how much information can be broadcast to the public and in what context. People who violate their instructions are fired or the television shows are done away with altogether.

So the question remains. Is television a form of mind control? Yes it is and it gives credence to the saying, "Don't believe everything you hear!"

Train Your Brain Continuously To Increase Your IQ

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 17:00:00 +0000

The human brain is probably one of the most complex organs. It is also one of the less understood by the large public. The way in which the brain functions is a mystery for most people. Yet, there is one thing which everybody knows: an increased intelligence means higher positions in the society and higher incomes form your job. Thus, more and more people are in the search of techniques which will help them increase their IQ effectively and boost their intelligence in a short period of time.

The brain is similar to a muscle: the more you put it to effort, the more it will be capable to resist. This means that if you are thinking about increasing your IQ, it is absolutely necessary to train your brain continuously. A short period of hard work will not give result if it is followed by a long period of leisure and lethargy. In contrast, long periods of study always give satisfactory results on the long run and make the brain function properly for more time.

But what means training your brain? Well, training means putting your brain to work. Reading numerous books and articles, playing mind games and computer strategy games, solving problems and continuously looking for new things which can challenge your brain are great ways of boosting your intelligence. The newer and more interesting things you discover, the more you increase your intelligence and improve your mental abilities, so search for things you might be interested in.

It is highly important that all these activities are combined, so that all the parts of your brain are put to work. The more diversified the mental exercises are, the bigger are the chances that your brain will increase its capacities and function better day by day. Also, by having a diversified mental training, all the aspects of the intelligence will be equally exploited, allowing you to become a polyvalent person. Thus, do not just stick to those fields which have always been close to your soul, but rather try new things. It is never too late to start developing passions for one or another thing.

Resource box:

Find out more about the techniques through which you can increase your IQ by reading… You will also find there a complete program which will enable you to boost your intelligence on the long run in a simple and natural way.

Self Mastering and Goals

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 16:02:00 +0000

Remember Goals are one thing and Outcome is another..= Take massive action

When you are trying hard to get things together, then you really have to consider what you are doing. One of the things that you have to do is to be able to learn how to use your self-mastering skill. This world is full of hatefulness as well as anxiety. Here are some things that might help you to get it together as you might want to say it.

How would one go about getting it together?
When you want to get it together, you might want to figure out some things that might be beneficially to you. That may be hard for some of you but again for others it might not be hard at all.

The first thing you are going to have to do is decided what it is that you want to do something about. In other words, sometimes you have to step back and take a longer look at situations before you step into them. Alternatively, you may just want to go from sad to happy. The way you take life is totally up to you. With this in thought, you are going to have to sit down and really think about what it is that you want to do and get a plain.

You may want to set a goal know when you are setting your goals don't make them so high that you are unable to reach them, so with this in mind start little and reach that goal then make another one. Goal setting is not the easiest thing to do it takes a lot of work and determination to get where you want to be. However, every one can do what they want to do if they put there minds to it.

Where can I go to get some insight on the new me?
When you decide that you are ready and have your goals in order then you may want to do some checking into learning how to go about setting your goals. They might have some kind of support group in your area that will help you to set your goals as well as to meet them. However, for the most part you have to be able to do it on your own. What am trying to say is that you have to be able to dig deep with in your self and pull out what you want to change and put some effort in to it. Many people have difficulties setting goals. Most people realize that often life will step in and hold them back from reaching their goals. If you decide that, you want to go on a diet, and then make it a part of your plans to achieve your goals. Then you set your goal to lose weight, losing weight is one of the hardest things to do. You start your diet your doing good then you go and weigh in and you haven't lost the weight as fast as you would like what do most of us do then we stop every thing and for get about all of the goals and effort that we have put into it. We shouldn't do that we should keep going with it we might or we might not make it to our goal that we are wanting but new have learn to use your will power, and that is what we are trying to do when it comes to self-mastering skills.

What Verses Why

Go Here for Secret Achiever Formula Free PDF
As we've mentioned earlier, acting on our dreams, goals and plans can sometimes be
difficult. Life tends to get in the way of living, at times.
There are so many distractions and events going on in our lives, and in our heads, that we
get caught up in other unimportant stuff; hence, our dreams and goals get lost within the
chaos.
And we come to the end of our lives and realize that we didn't do nearly as much as we
really wanted to do. We didn't spend our time doing what we really wanted but instead
got caught up in the insignificant, unimportant things in life. We didn't come anywhere
close to tapping our real potential.
You need something that will create that desire, that drive, that passion that will compel
you to do what you really want! To go for what you truly desire. Despite the distractions!
One of the best ways to ignite the rocket fuel of your desires is by finding out why you
want those desires to become your daily reality. You also need to find out why it will
cause you a lot of pain if you don't work towards your desires. Successful people ask the
right questions, remember?

6 Steps to Accomplish Your Craziest Goals By Tim Ferris

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 22:27:00 +0000

By Tim Ferris, Author of The 4-Hour Work Week

Let us start with a quote, often misattributed to Goethe:

"Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now. -William Hutchinson Murray, The Scottish Himalayan Expedition (1951)

If you want a lesson in boldness, and to cross things off of your bucket list, there is no better teacher than Ben Nemtin. His story, and that of the entire Buried Life team, is amazing.

It started with a list of 100 things and a planned two-week roadtrip. Along the way, Ben has somehow managed to play basketball with Obama, throw the first pitch at a Major League Baseball game, deliver a baby (not his), make the biggest roulette spin in Vegas' history, and much more.

Most recently, they crossed off #19: Write a bestselling book. Their debut, What Do You Want To Do Before You Die?, just hit #1 on The New York Times, which will be announced officially April 15th. To celebrate? They're sending a copy of the book into space.

It all seems unbelievable, which is exactly why I love this guest post from Ben.

This original content covers his 6 steps for crossing anything off of your personal bucket list. There is a method. Everyone needs a kick in the ass sometimes, and this did it for me.

Enter Ben

If there's one thing I'm proud of, it's being able to tell good stories.

Not because I'm a particularly good storyteller, but because I've been able to accumulate some amazing experiences in the last 5 and a half years.

It was 2006 when I first hit the road with my next-door neighbor, his younger brother, and a kid I knew from high school to accomplish a list we had created of 100 things to do before we died. We made a promise that for every item we crossed off, we'd help a total stranger do something they wanted to do before they died. To date, we've accomplished 81 items on our list and helped over 81 people.

In addition to those Tim mentioned in the intro, and among others, I've made a TV show, crashed the Playboy Mansion, streaked a stadium, been on Oprah, reunited a father and son after 17 years, made a $300,000 donation to charity, helped a girl find her mother's grave for the first time, and am trying to help a college freshman find a new kidney…

Remember: 5 and a half years ago, I couldn't tell any of these stories.

2 Weeks, 100 Goals

Our mission was supposed to be a two-week road trip. The four of us never expected it to be much more, and we certainly didn't expect to be living it five years later. In the beginning, we didn't tell our friends what we were doing because we didn't know how to explain it. What we shared was really just a feeling: we were fed up and wanted something different.

We decided to move forward without a real plan. A mechanic told us that the RV we'd borrowed wasn't going to make it home; I had fabricated a wedding to get time off of work; and we pretended we owned a production company to raise money for a camera and gas for the RV. The only thing we knew for sure was that we would be taking two weeks off before going back to college.

The plan: to try and accomplish as many items on our list as possible and help some people. We didn't have a name for the project until Jonnie was assigned a poem in English 102 called "The Buried Life." It was written 150 years ago but spoke to the same feeling we were having at the time: the desire to unbury our lives and do the things that were important to us, not what was expected of us. There were four lines that stood out from the rest:

But often, in the world's most crowded streets,
But often, in the din of strife,
There rises an unspeakable desire
After the knowledge of our buried life;

When I think back to this time now, I remember sitting on the curb beside our RV the night before we were supposed to leave. We were arguing about whether or not to cancel the trip, because if the camper broke down, we didn't have enough money to tow it home.

Five years later, I guess it's safe to say we've gotten pretty good at accomplishing our dreams. I'd like to say that there's something unique about us that makes us able to do these things, but the truth is the opposite. There is a formula and it's simple.

6 Steps to Accomplish Anything

The more items we cross off our list, the more we become convinced that anyone can do anything. The formula comes down to these six steps:

#1. Stop and think about it. Really think about it.

What is it that you really want to do with your life? Start a business? Reconnect with an old friend? Dive to the bottom of the ocean? Smoke a cigar with Castro? Forget what you think you should do, what excites you? What feels impossible? Be honest with yourself. Your answers don't need to make an impression on anyone but you.

For many people, the four members of The Buried Life included, the impetus to make a life change only comes with crisis. The summer before we started The Buried Life, I was struggling with depression; Dave was struggling with his weight; Duncan had recently lost a close friend; and Jonnie was just plain angry and disillusioned with our generation ("No one protests anymore," he used to say).

The four of us were so beaten down that we had no choice but to reevaluate what was important to us. Our project grew out of that frustration. Sometimes it takes a debilitating low or a crushing loss to snap you back to reality, but don't wait for it. Ferris Bueller put it well: "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

#2. Write it down.

Simply put, it's not real until you write it down. And by that I mean, take your dream and turn it into a project. Dreams have a funny way of staying dreams. But a project is something that needs to be done.

Approach it as you would any other item on your daily or weekly to-do list. When you have a deadline— a presentation, a grocery list, a birthday gift you need to buy for someone–you find a way to get it done. Treat your dreams the same way. Add it to your list. You need to buy toilet paper. You need to spend the weekend in Paris with someone you love. When you write it down, you've taken the first step.

When we first started the project, we put things on the list almost as a joke. We didn't think about whether they could actually happen; we just pretended that anything was possible. "#53: Make a TV Show" was a dream we'd shared since we were young. We had no filmmaking background and no connections in the business.

And we lived on an island in Canada. We decided MTV in the States would be the place to have a show because it was the biggest and best platform we knew of for reaching people like us. So we wrote it down. And then we started filming it, because that was just the next logical step. Every step led to the next. Four years later, we were executive producers and creators of our own show on MTV.

#3. Talk about it.

Everyone knows someone who knows someone who knows someone.

After you've come up with your list and written it down, start talking. Tell everyone you know. Tell your parents' friends. Tell new people you meet. Talk to your cabdriver. Talk to your boss. You never know whose uncle's wife may be able to help you. And don't just talk about it, but talk about it passionately. Enthusiasm is infectious, and people want to help when given the chance. Help can show up in the most unusual places, oftentimes the least expected ones.

We didn't come from money. We had an idea, we talked about it, and people showed up in incredible ways help us. Our first lawyer was our parent's friend who had heard about what we were doing and offered to lend a hand; our first manager was my godmother; I met my first Hollywood contact while traveling in Mexico; we cold-called local companies in our hometown to raise money for our first tour.

Help often came in strange places. In 2007 we were able to finagle a five-minute meeting with Jann Wenner, legendary founder of Rolling Stone magazine, in order to discuss what it would take to cross #15 off our list, "Get on the Cover of Rolling Stone." The five-minute meeting turned into a 45-minute meeting (after Jann threatened to kick us out and asked his assistant for a knife), during which time we talked about everything from protests to Bob Dylan to the difference between our two generations. We told him about some of our most ambitious dreams, including "#19: Write a Bestselling Book."

Jann was later instrumental in helping us get our book published—introducing us to a company where we met the smartest, most talented, best-looking book editor alive (hi Lia), who eventually offered us a deal.

#4. Be persistent.

Most people give up just before they reach their goal. We all hear "No," a lot, but we've come to realize that "No" usually just means "Not now." Be creative in your persistence. Don't piss people off by nagging them—think of innovative and clever ways to grab their attention. Be different, and never say die.

Last year, we broke into the Playboy Mansion. We rented a giant stripper cake and decorated it like it was for the Willy Wonka–themed party. Two of us dressed up like Oompa-Loompas and hid in the bottom of the cake, which was then delivered to the back door of the Playboy Mansion in a rented delivery truck. Security saw our homemade Playboy logo on the cake and allowed it to pass through the gates. After waiting inside the cake for six long hours (peeing in bottles and filming in night-vision), we hatched out unnoticed and partied at the Mansion all night with free rein. Security assumed we were just very rowdy employees.

Playboy had no idea we had been in and out, or that we had filmed our first episode. But when we went back a month later to ask for permission to air, they said, "If you air the episode, we'll sue you and have you charged with breaking and entering." We got ahold of the company's vice president, and he echoed that sentiment. MTV told us to move on and film another episode. Our production company said there was nothing we could do. In a last ditch effort we decided to send Hugh Hefner a handwritten letter along with the rough cut of the episode. A week later, we received this response from Mr. Hefner himself: "You can air the episode. Just know I'm not very pleased with you boys." I always thought that crashing the Playboy Mansion was my dream, but getting scolded by Hugh Hefner was way better.

#5. Be ballsy.

The majority of people don't go after their wildest dreams because they think they're unrealistic. Tim says it well: "Ninety-nine percent of people believe they can't do great things, so they aim for mediocrity." The level of competition is highest for realistic goals because most people don't set high enough goals for themselves.

But not only do you statistically have a better chance of achieving what may seem like an unrealistic goal, doing so fuels you. Once you feel the first high of accomplishing something major and seemingly unattainable, you want to go bigger and badder, and you force yourself to fulfill the need all the more. Even better, the technically smaller goals suddenly seem less daunting.

We put "#95: Play Ball with the President" on the list because it was literally the most unattainable goal we could think of. I remember Jonnie called me from his dorm room in Montreal in 2008 right after Barack Obama had been elected and Jonnie said, "We should add 'Play Ball with Obama' to the list." I chuckled because it was so absurd and agreed. I found it humorous not only because the idea was so outrageous but also because I knew Jonnie was calling me from his "room," a tiny space he was renting for $200 a month, which he shared with a washer and dryer.

Of all people, we weren't the best candidates for a pick up game with the leader of the Free World. Nonetheless, two years later we found ourselves shooting hoops with the President in the backyard of the White House. It's a long, complicated story, and I don't want to bore you with the details, but this is the kind of thing that the four of us chuckle about sometimes. It's as if we have horseshoes up our butts, but it's also happened too many times to be luck. When you dream big, you surprise yourself.

#6. Help others.

We've crossed off more than 80 list items over the last six years, but the moments that stand out the most are the ones when we've been able to step into someone's life and share something real with them. I've been surprised by how little it takes to impact someone's life. Something as simple as asking the question, "What do you want to do before you die?" and taking the time to listen is often all it takes. If you're feeling lost or depressed, you might find what you're looking for in someone else. Into the Wild said it best: "Happiness is only real when it's shared."

The first person we ever helped was a guy named Brent. He wrote to us in broken English saying his biggest dream was to bring pizzas down to the nearby homeless shelter. Brent had himself spent three years living in that shelter and remembered fondly the days people brought in food because those were the times it felt like someone gave a damn. When we talked with Brent in person, we learned that what he really needed was a truck. He had pulled himself out of the shelter by starting a business that relied on his truck, but it had just broken down. We knew we needed to help him find a new vehicle, but we didn't have the money ourselves. This is the very first video we ever made, trying to track down a truck for Brent.

Your Turn.

Your dreams are closer than they appear. There's nothing about us four guys that makes us more able than anyone else to accomplish our goals, other than the simple fact that we've decided to go after them. George Elliot said, "It's never too late to be what you might have been." Don't wait. Why not start now?

Darkness in Soul and Self

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 23:32:00 +0000

Influences have created a darkness that shadows his power to see the soul and self in full light. Humans tend to become mysteries, since the common person has not discovered the soul and self. For this reason, we must retrain the mind. By revealing the darkness in the mind, one can come to the light and see self as a whole.

How to discover what hides in the darkness:
In the subliminal mind, it is deep and dark. In this mind are hidden messages that the mind contains from past events, learning, experiences, teachings and other influential subjects that we had developed from observations and verbal communication.

Have you ever had a feeling that something was not right, yet you could not pinpoint the problem? You likely answered yes, unless you are one of the people that have developed a higher plane of conscious awareness. These feelings emerge from the heart, hit the sensory organs and ignite a flame, which triggers the emotions. At the time, the emotions are effortlessly struggling to interpret what messages were sent. Yet, the messages sent remain trapped in the subliminal mind. It takes you to challenge this mind in order to expand your knowledge and learn what causes these reactions.

The bible tells us in Mathews 5: 3, that "Happy are those conscious of their spiritual needs." While many of our needs surface, we fall short of relating to most needs because it hides in the subliminal mind.

The dark tunnel (Subliminal mind) travels around however. Repetitively this mind will send signals, which one must become aware of, consciously analyzing this mind to discover what the messages send. Knowledge development, diligence and self-discipline are something we all must cultivate in order to read the messages in the subliminal mind. This is because of misleading factors in our environment; we must work diligently to abandon lies by establishing facts.

Understand the subliminal messages hide because the mind has trapped messages from external sources, including music, commercialism and so forth. In fact, commercials, music, et cetera as well as other resources signal the subliminal mind, through deceptive strategies. The approaches have proven effective, yet it has also proven damaging for many people.

Take advertisements for example. When you watch a good movie, the commercials will kick in when you are feeling curious. You have to watch the advertisement and wait for the movie to start again. You feel frustrated when the advertisement starts, so you anticipate returning back to the movie, yet your subliminal mind is taking in what the commercials are advertising. When the movie restarts, thus it begins with an overall view of the last event. This methods concept is to inspire the conscious mind again so that it takes interest in continuing watching the movie.

We see then, that the subliminal mind retains bits and pieces of learned information from observation and verbal messages. Thus, we must learn to focus on our learning by advancing our ability to concentrate and remain conscious of our actions, behaviors, habits, observation and so forth.

Free 21 Page PDF Download on the Secret Achiever Formula

By doing so we can unveil the messages in the subliminal mind and once these messages are unveiled we can then analyze. Analyzing the messages involve gathering evidence to support the facts. When you have sound evidence to support the facts, only then can you keep the subliminal open to discuss what it attempts to hide. By revealing this compartment of the brain, one can see clearly the natural steps he must take to expose self and the soul. We encourage you to learn more about subliminal learning by visiting the Internet today.

To Create a Mindset, You Must Rehearse It!

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 22:44:00 +0000

For the most part, your mind learns through repetition. This is why any skill or activity
can be learned through practice i.e. "repetition" - until it becomes automatic. It becomes
automatic when your mind finally "gets" it. Whatever it is that you're doing repeatedly,
either consciously or unconsciously, your mind picks up on it and assumes that you want
to learn it. So, it starts paying attention to the repetitive task and begins to learn it better
and better each time it's repeated.
Primarily, everything is learned through repetition, through rehearsal.
And, this is where most of us fall short. We don't rehearse, we don't repeat the lessons
long enough for the mind to get it and make it a part of who you are.
Most of us read a great success book one time and think everything will change. If only it
were that easy.
Successful people read certain books over and over till the book is falling apart!
Why? Because they've learned the most important lesson about success. That, you have
to continue to feed positive information and success advice to your brain every single day
– until it gets it!
It doesn't happen overnight. It can't. Most of us have years and years of negative conditioning and beliefs to work through.
That is why repetition is so important! More important than most other things.
Rehearse a task - or even a mindset - until you master it. I use a program called The Secret Achiever and love it. Check it out here

Wanting Verses Deserving

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 23:59:00 +0000

So, we've said that in order to get what we want, you've gotta have a burning desire for it!
You've also learned that you have to believe what successful and wealthy people believe
if you are to ever have the kind of wealth and success as they do.
The combination of the two can be very powerful. But if either one is missing, you won't
go too far.
Wanting something bad enough is very important if you are to ever achieve it. But if you
don't believe you'll get it, then you're wasting your time.
You have to realize something very important...
Understand that in life, you will not get what you really want. You will only get what you
believe you deserve.
You will not get what you want.
You will only get what you believe you deserve.
What this means is that if you want something, you will do what is necessary to get it.
But...if you don't believe that you deserve it, you will unknowingly and unconsciously
sabotage your progress. Or you will get something and then mysteriously lose it again.
So, even if you have a strong desire for achieving a goal, on some level, you will also
simultaneously try to avoid getting that goal, if you don't feel you deserve it.
Do you truly believe that you deserve to be successful in every area of your life? If you
do, then you can be successful. If you don't believe this yet, you better start or else it may
never happen.
I'm sorry but there's just no way around this one. You have to believe that you deserve it.
As you've learned earlier on, it doesn't matter what is true. It only matters what you
believe to be true.
When you start to believe that you deserve it, you begin to open yourself up to receiving
what is rightfully yours.
The truth is that we all deserve the very best of everything in life. That's just how life is.
No one deserves more than you or less than you. The only difference is what they believe
they deserve.
Beliefs are very powerful indeed. They are what drive your thoughts, habits, actions, and
consequently your life.
There is enough wealth, joy and abundance to go around for everyone, including you.
And everyone deserves to have and enjoy it all, especially you!
And the sooner you start believing this, the sooner you'll have what is rightfully yours.

Is Your Mind Playing Tricks?

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 22:46:00 +0000

Over the course of our life, our senses and our environment come together to enrich our mind, and to sometimes overwhelm our mind. Much of the knowledge we acquire comes to us through our senses. As children, we use the senses daily to absorb as much as possible. The mind is a voraciously hungry, empty den when we are young.

As we age, we depend greatly upon our senses to inform us about the world around us; hot, cold, sweet, sour, bitter, loud, soft, so many of our perceptions and actions begin with input from our five senses. There is another sense that isn't given much attention, thanks to the fact that it is centered within our body, not on the outside. But, if used properly, provides us with as much valuable information as the sense of smell, taste, touch, sight, and hearing.

Our intuition is our sixth sense. It refers to the ability to tune into the unseen world of sensing. All the other senses require a physical origin of input; our intuition does not. It requires not physical presence of an object in order for us to obtain information about the object. Thanks to the fact that we live in a materialistic world, and that most of our knowledge is dominated by the western traditions and beliefs, our ability to use our intuition is a lost art.

The eastern cultures have long used the sense of intuition and the flow of the body's natural energies to utilize the intuitive information available. The western civilizations are slow to realize the role our intuition can play in our overall health, just because it is not a "seen" source of input.

Often, our mind can seemingly play tricks on our sensory perceptions, when we fail to utilize all aspects of the six senses, we often miss some piece of the puzzle, and what seems to be complete and correct, if often lacking.

There are at times physical conditions that cause our senses to operate incorrectly, and we don't process the information correctly. This happens when we are functioning at less than optimum levels. Often this occurs during times of sickness, extreme fatigue, or due to a lack of sleep. It is at this point, that we believe our mind to play tricks on us. We believe we are receiving certain input, and in all actuality, we are not.

This is why keeping our bodies well, fit, and healthy keeps us in a reception mode to accurately process input from the outside world. It is through this accurate perception of intake that we are able to deal effectively with the world around us. All this culminates to come to this statement: in order to keep ourselves healthy and well, we must be able to accurately process input from the world around us. It is when we lose perspective, and don't accurately "see" things as they really are that we are more likely to experience feelings of ill-health, mental unrest, and this can lead to actually becoming ill.

Our overall wellness depends upon our ability to not only cope with our selves, but to perceive reality as it really is. Watch this Subliminal Video

Exercise in Development thru Visualization and Affirmation

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Thu, 19 Apr 2012 21:23:00 +0000

How comparing physical and mental exercises can help you:
The body and mind needs continuous workout routines to assist it with staying healthy. Like strength training, mental exercises include all sorts of workout regimens that allow one to concentrate on something while increasing strength. Strength training for example, builds muscle endurance, flexibility and so forth. One can use yoga, which associates with Pilate's workout to improve both the body and mind.

When one exercises the mind, it helps them to develop affirmation and visualization. In such training, the mind is giving the freedom to explore problems at all angles. If you plan to exercise the body, you are advice to seek professional medical advice and support if any of the following factors is/are relevant to you before embarking on strength training program. The factors are family history of coronary heart diseases, high cholesterol, cardiac arrhythmias, smoking habit, chronic hypertension, diabetes, asthma, pregnancy and extreme obesity. Asthma and chronic hypertension are the factors that need to be extremely careful of because intense effort and strain on the heart may result in deteriorated health or in worst case, death. I believe no one in the right mind would perform such strenuous training during pregnancy but it is just a valid point to note.

In order to get started, here are some pointers to get you started. Firstly, always remember to warm up. Warming up is the most important part of the training program for many sports as it gives the body a chance to deliver substantial nutrient rich blood to areas that are about to be exerted. It also helps to warm the muscles up and relatively lubricate body joints by doing some mile stretching.

Secondly, it is critical to begin the training program at a slow and acceptable speed and pace. Focus on primary technique and gradually work up to heavier resistance training.

Thirdly, draw a target and a plan like what is your aim and what do you hope to achieve. To incorporate such key objective to your training will be more effective and efficient than just going on pumping that iron without any clue.

Fourthly, form cannot be sacrifices for doing more sets and repetitive movements. Because by doing so, you will tend to transfer the strength to compensate the inability from other muscle groups that could be relatively weak. This could result in a serious muscle injury.

Fifthly, every session is recommended to be less or around one hour.

The muscles must recover before enduring additional workouts, so give your body a rest for at least two days.

How mental exercises work:
Like the physical exercises, the mental exercises work in similar ways, only the purpose is changed slightly and so are your activities. The mind considers information ongoing. It will sift through learned information by searching for a purpose. Once it has discovered the purpose, it will start the questioning process. This process takes your mind through a chain of actions that leads the mind to consider the general, specifics, and details to broad-spectrum ideas. The mind works in such a way in order to solve problems effectively. The mind uses the information you learned from the past events, experiences and knowledge. Then it uses ideas and concepts to associate, generalize, and discovery solutions.

Combining physical workout with mental exercises can improve your overall visualization, affirmation and self-development processes. Use your visual aids or mental pictures to define your goals. You can use affirmations once you have set goals to keep the mind focused and looking forward to a better future.

Life is About Choices and the Decisions We Make

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 12:37:00 +0000

Life is like a road. There are long and short roads; smooth and rocky roads; crooked and straight paths. In our life many roads would come our way as we journey through life. There are roads that lead to a life of single blessedness, marriage, and religious vocation. There are also roads that lead to fame and fortune on one hand, or isolation and poverty on the other. There are roads to happiness as there are roads to sadness, roads towards victory and jubilation, and roads leading to defeat and disappointment.

Just like any road, there are corners, detours, and crossroads in life. Perhaps the most perplexing road that you would encounter is a crossroad. With four roads to choose from and with limited knowledge on where they would go, which road will you take? What is the guarantee that we would choose the right one along the way? Would you take any road, or just stay where you are: in front of a crossroad?

There are no guarantees.

You do not really know where a road will lead you until you take it. There are no guarantees. This is one of the most important things you need to realize about life. Nobody said that choosing to do the right thing all the time would always lead you to happiness. Loving someone with all your heart does not guarantee that it would be returned. Gaining fame and fortune does not guarantee happiness. Accepting a good word from an influential superior to cut your trip short up the career ladder is not always bad, especially if you are highly qualified and competent. There are too many possible outcomes, which your really cannot control. The only thing you have power over is the decisions that you will make, and how you would act and react to different situations.

Wrong decisions are always at hindsight.

Had you known that you were making a wrong decision, would you have gone along with it? Perhaps not, why would you choose a certain path when you know it would get you lost? Why make a certain decision if you knew from the very beginning that it is not the right one. It is only after you have made a decision and reflected on it that you realize its soundness. If the consequences or outcomes are good for you, then you have decided correctly. Otherwise, your decision was wrong.

Take the risk: decide.

Since life offers no guarantee and you would never know that your decision would be wrong until you have made it, then you might as well take the risk and decide. It is definitely better than keeping yourself in limbo. Although it is true that one wrong turn could get you lost, it could also be that such a turn could be an opportunity for an adventure, moreover open more roads. It is all a matter of perspective. You have the choice between being a lost traveler or an accidental tourist of life. But take caution that you do not make decisions haphazardly. Taking risks is not about being careless and stupid. Here are some pointers that could help you choose the best option in the face of life's crossroads:

• Get as many information as you can about your situation.

You cannot find the confidence to decide when you know so little about what you are faced with. Just like any news reporter, ask the 5 W's: what, who, when, where, and why. What is the situation? Who are the people involved? When did this happen? Where is this leading? Why are you in this situation? These are just some of the possible questions to ask to know more about your situation. This is important. Oftentimes, the reason for indecision is the lack of information about a situation.

• Identify and create options.

What options does the situation give you? Sometimes the options are few, but sometimes they are numerous. But what do you do when you think that the situation offers no options? This is the time that you create your own. Make your creative mind work. From the most simplistic to the most complicated, entertain all ideas. Do not shoot anything down when an idea comes to your head. Sometimes the most outrageous idea could prove to be the right one in the end. You can ask a friend to help you identify options and even make more options if you encounter some difficulty, but make sure that you make the decision yourself in the end.

• Weigh the pros and cons of every option.

Assess each option by looking at the advantages and disadvantages it offers you. In this way, you get more insights about the consequences of such an option.

• Trust yourself and make that decision.

Now that you have assessed your options, it is now time to trust yourself. Remember that there are no guarantees and wrong decisions are always at hindsight. So choose… decide… believe that you are choosing the best option at this point in time.

Now that you have made a decision, be ready to face its consequences: good and bad. It may take you to a place of promise or to a land of problems. But the important thing is that you have chosen to live your life instead of remaining a bystander or a passive audience to your own life. Whether it is the right decision or not, only time can tell. But do not regret it whatever the outcome. Instead, learn from it and remember that you always have the chance to make better decisions in the future.

10 Habits You Must Quit to Be Happy

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 00:34:00 +0000

10 Habits You Must Quit to Be Happy
from http://www.marcandangel.com

When you quit doing the wrong things, you make more room for the things that make you happy. So starting today…

1. Quit procrastinating on your goals.

Some people dream of success while others wake up and work hard at it. Action and change are often resisted when they're needed most. Get a hold of yourself and have discipline. Putting something off instantly makes it harder and scarier. What we don't start today won't be finished by tomorrow. And there's nothing more stressful than the perpetual lingering of an unfinished task.

The secret to getting ahead is simply getting started. Starting, all by itself, is usually sufficient to build enough momentum to keep the ball rolling. So forget about the finish line and just concentrate on taking your first step. Say to yourself, "I choose to start this task with a small, imperfect step." All those small steps will add up and you'll actually get to see changes fairly quickly. Read Getting Things Done.

2. Quit blaming others and making excuses.

Stop blaming others for what you have or don't have, or for what you feel or don't feel. When you blame others for what you're going through, you deny responsibility and perpetuate the problem. Stop giving your power away and start taking responsibility for your life. Blaming is just another sorry excuse, and making excuses is the first step towards failure; you and only you are responsible for your life choices and decisions.

3. Quit trying to avoid change.

If nothing ever changed there would be no sunrise the next morning. Most of us are comfortable where we are even though the whole universe is constantly changing around us. Learning to accept this is vital to our happiness and general success. Because only when we change, do we grow, and begin to see a world we never knew was possible.

And don't forget, however good or bad a situation is now, it will change. That's the one thing you can count on. So embrace it, and realize that change happens for a reason. It won't always be easy or obvious at first, but in the end it will be worth it.

4. Quit trying to control the uncontrollable.

If you try to control everything, and then worry about the things you can't control, you are setting yourself up for a lifetime of frustration and misery.

Some forces are out of your control, but you can control how you react to things. Everyone's life has positive and negative aspects – whether you're happy or not depends greatly on which aspects you focus on. The best thing you can do is to let go of what you can't control, and invest your energy in the things you can – like your attitude.

5. Quit talking down to yourself.

Nothing will bring you down quicker than berating yourself. The mind is a superb instrument if used right, but when used incorrectly, it becomes very destructive. Be aware of your mental self-talk. We all talk silently to ourselves in our heads, but we aren't always conscious of what we're saying or how it's affecting us.

As Henry Ford once stated, "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right." One of the major causes of why we fail is due to self-doubt and negative self-talk. The way to overcome negative thoughts and destructive emotions is to develop opposing, positive emotions that are stronger and more powerful. Listen to your self-talk and replace negative thoughts with positive ones, over time you will change the trajectory of your life. Read The How of Happiness.

6. Quit criticizing others.

The negativity you bleed out toward others will gradually cripple your own happiness. When you truly feel comfortable with your own imperfections, you won't feel threatened or offended by the imperfections you see in other people.

So stop worrying about the flaws you see in everyone else, and focus on yourself. Let the constant growth and improvement in your own life keep you so busy that you have no time left to criticize others.

7. Quit running from your problems and fears.

Trust me, if everyone threw their problems in a pile for you to see, you would grab yours back. Tackle your problems and fears swiftly, don't run away from them. The best solution is to face them head on no matter how powerful they may seem.

Fears, in particularly, stop you from taking chances and making decisions. They keep you confined to just the small space where you feel completely comfortable. But your life's story is simply the culmination of many small, unique experiences, many of which require you to stretch your comfort zone. Letting your fears and worries control you is not 'living,' it's merely existing.

Bottom line: Either you own your problems and fears, or they will ultimately own you.

8. Quit living in another time and place.

Some people spend their entire lives trying to live in another time and place. They lament about what has been, what they could have done, or what might become. However, the past is gone, and the future doesn't exist. No matter how much time we spend thinking and lamenting about either, it doesn't change anything.

One of life's sharpest paradoxes is that our brightest future hinges on our ability to pay attention to what we're doing right now, today.

We need to live more in the moment. Living in the moment requires active, open, intentional awareness on the present. Don't fantasize about being on vacation while at work, and don't worry about the work piling up on your desk when you're on vacation. Live for now. Notice the beauty unfolding around you.

9. Quit trying to be someone you're not.

One of the greatest challenges in life is being yourself in a world that's trying to make you like everyone else. Someone will always be prettier, someone will always be smarter, someone will always be younger, but they will never be you. Don't change so people will like you. Be yourself and the right people will love you, and you'll love yourself more too. The Road Less Traveled.

10. Quit being ungrateful.

Not all the puzzle pieces of life will seem to fit together at first, but in time you'll realize they do, perfectly. So thank the things that didn't work out, because they just made room for the things that will. And thank the ones who walked away from you, because they just made room for the ones who won't.

No matter how good or bad you have it, wake up each day thankful for your life. Someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs. Instead of thinking about what you're missing, try thinking about what you have that everyone else is missing.

Overcoming FEAR (False Expectations about Reality

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Fri, 13 Apr 2012 12:43:00 +0000

There are many popular acronyms for the word "fear" but my favorite is "False Expectations about Reality." This acronym is powerful because it reminds us that many of our worries are about future events that will never come to pass. False expectations about future reality are obstacles to success. They sap our energy and take our focus away from actions that would help us realize our dreams.

According to Psychology Today, each of us has between 25,000 and 50,000 thoughts per day. When the majority of these thoughts are negative, they can shape our mood, motivation and ability to succeed.

Here are some of the false expectations that used to run through my mind – do they sound familiar?

I'll never find a loving relationship that will last.
If I don't work harder, I'll lose my job.
Someday I'll end up homeless.
There's no use trying because I'll fail.
I won't succeed because I'm not good enough.

Motivational experts say that we need to stop false expectations from looping through our minds if we want our dreams to become a reality. Once you become aware that these thoughts are not based on reality, you can begin to work on replacing them with positive thoughts and plans for actions. Although we can't always control our moods, we can definitely control our thoughts.

To overcome false expectations that have become obstacles, you must first identify them. Do you have persistent negative beliefs that are keeping you from realizing your hopes and dreams? It may help to track your negative and fear-based thoughts for a few days to see how often they occur. One way to do this is with a thought journal where you take stock of your negative thinking at the end of the day. Pay particular attention to the number of times you focused on problems rather than solutions. Also try to identify the triggers that set your negative thinking in motion.

Not all fear is based on false expectations. Some fears are real and are based on circumstances that are grounded in reality. These fears can force us to make decisions and take action. How to differentiate between false expectations and real worries that are based in reality? Evaluate the probability of a fear coming true in the near future and decide if facing it will bring you closer to realizing your dreams.

Once you have a better understanding about your negative thoughts, replace worries about the future with positive thoughts that are based in the present. For example, instead of thinking you will never be able to lose weight because you can't give up the fattening food that you love, begin to think of yourself as a healthy person who has a healthy diet and enjoys exercise. It may seem silly to think this way when it's not true, but positive thoughts can have a powerful influence on the subconscious. Over time, your new way of thinking will begin to control your actions and create a new reality.

Making lists of the good things in your life is another way to begin thinking more positively. You'll find it easier to stay motivated when your thinking is inspired by positivity. If you do encounter failure, learn to see it as a bump in the road rather than a roadblock. It may slow you down, but don't let it stop you.

I was able to overcome many of my negative thought patterns by reading some of the literature about positive thinking. The Power of Optimism by Alan Loy McGinnis was an important book for me. Other authors who cover the subject of positive thinking include Martin Seligman, M. Scott Peck, Dale Carnegie and Dr. Norman Vincent Peale (who many credit as the founder of the positive thinking movement).

Within Taking Care of Yourself Lies Success In Your Physical Health and Emotional Happiness

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Thu, 12 Apr 2012 16:34:00 +0000

It's rather intriguing that we tend to take our whole self for granted most of the time. We live in such a fussy world that we seldom stop to consider the care we should be giving to our bodies to promote good physical as well as mental health. Our bodies are like machines that are on the go most of the time. Machines require oiling and fueling to continue. And we have to use the correct oil or fuel otherwise the machine breaks down, correct?
Have you ever stopped to think whether what you're doing to your body is helping or hurting? Begin with the food you consume daily, then go on to the things you do to and with your body and mind. If you were a machine, would you still be going, or would you need to stop for mending occasionally?
I recognize certainly that everybody wants to enjoy a long and happy life that's free from illness and full of love. But not everybody wants to do the correct things to make their lives better. It sounds a little like 'everybody wants to take the easy route!
It can be quite difficult to take good care of your whole self at times. For instance, it's important to eat the right food and do some routine exercises on a regular basis. It's also important to live a life that's low stress. This isn't easy.
Let's begin with the food we eat, how many of us really follow a wholesome diet of the right type of food 24/7? Take the average workman who is on a 9-5 job Monday to Friday, can this individual really be faithful to any prescribed diet considering they're going to be tempted by different foods being eaten by different people and the fact that they are probably short on time? This individual has really got to be disciplined if they want to take care of their whole self and be healthier!

Talking about a low stress life, this may sound like a joke to a few individuals. No life can be stress free if we take into account the things we have to do and go through day-after-day.
There is much information available about great ways to reduce stress. Try some calming yoga or deep breathing exercises. Take a short walk and actually look at the beauty along your path. Get a massage; it is a wonderful way to calm yourself physically as well as emotionally.
We are more than just physical beings but also emotional and spiritual ones. If one wants to be "whole", one must look at all aspects of their health. Take good care of yourself by eating right, drinking plenty of water, take walks, clear your mind, tend to your emotional and sexual needs, and get plenty of rest. Accept your vastness and your limitations.
You are a vital and vivacious human being, begin feeling good about yourself just right now! Read More Here

Myths about Self-Confidence

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 12:28:00 +0000

People who have self-confidence believe in themselves and feel that they are capable of achieving what they want in life, or dealing with any situation that they may have to face. They have an aura of self-confidence and self-assurance, which is apparent to others. People like to spend time with them; they feel comfortable and secure in their presence.

In contrast, there are many people who are reasonably talented, but who lack self-confidence. These people are victims of the several myths that surround self-confidence.

One of the foremost myths about self-confidence is that people are born with self-confidence. It is a quality that cannot be acquired. Nothing can be farther from truth. Self-confidence, like other skills, can be built. All that you need is right guidance and a belief in yourself.

There are others who blame their low self-confidence to their lack of good looks and poor upbringing. They don't realize that self-confidence has nothing to do with their looks. It is a reflection of one's confidence. The only way they can overcome this myth is by learning to believe in themselves. In fact, talent and self-confidence are not inter-related. There are scores of talented actors and actresses who do very well in their professions but whose personal lives are torn by lack of self-confidence. It may sound contradictory, but this is how life is. Talent can be an important component of self-confidence, but it is certainly not a substitute for self-confidence. So, don't worry about lack of talent. Harness the skills that you possess.

Another myth is that self-confidence is directly proportional to the recognition and praise that an individual gets in his or her life; the ones who are not so lucky wallow in self-pity. Once again, there is little doubt that recognition and praise make you feel good about yourself, and boost your self-confidence. But you can't simply depend on the praise lavished by others. You have to work hard to earn that praise, and you can do this only if you are self-confident. The same applies to those who are not successful. They, too, can earn praise if they work hard and win people's respect.

Such people should look at children. Children believe in themselves, and this gives them the self-confidence to try to do things they have never done before, be it learning how to cycle or how to swim. In fact, no child comes into the world knowing all the skills. But it does not take long to teach children most of the basic skills. Then, why should it be difficult for adults to learn new skills or brave new challenges?

Another myth is that only self-confident people can afford to take risks. This again is not true. In fact, self-confident people are more realistic about their capabilities. They know what they can do, and what they can't do. More importantly, they know how to deal with failures. In contrast, people who lack self-confidence are afraid of failure. This fear prevents them from taking on new tasks. They constantly pine for the approval of others, and when they don't get it they end up losing their self-confidence.

What is apparent is the lack of understanding. People must realize that self-confidence is a state of mind. It is not dependent upon a person's beauty or looks. It flows from a person's self-belief, and this belief can be built. All that a person needs to do is to debunk myths that self-confidence cannot be acquired or that self-confidence is a byproduct of exceptional knowledge, skills and luck. Once they do so, they will find it easier to acquire the same magnetic powers that self-confident people have.

How to Be Less Stupid by James Altucher

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 16:37:00 +0000

By James Altucher

I'm really stupid. I can tell you in advance. I think at heart, if I work at it, I can be smart. But at the moment I'm largely an idiot. I feel I have the right knowledge but I let a lot of stuff get in the way. You know: "stuff". Worries, guilt, paranoia, grudges, resentment. Like, for instance: I resent the people who resent me. I think they resent me for no reason. So now I resent them. What a circle-jerk!

I used to think when I added stuff to my brain I'd get smarter. But this is not true. For instance, if I look up when Charlemagne was born I'd just add a fact to my head which I will forget tomorrow. This won't make me smarter. Subtraction, and not Addition, is what makes the window to the brain more clear, wipes away the smudges, opens the drapes.

One example: the day I lost the deal to do Tupac's website, I had a chess lesson afterwards. I couldn't play at all. It was like I didn't even know the rules. My instructor said, "what's wrong with you today?" But I was ashamed. And angry at myself. So my intelligence went way down. Like 80% down.

So here's my great list.

Paranoia

I figure on the moments when you are paranoid (is she cheating? Is he stealing? Are they talking about me? Will they sue me? Etc) you lose about 30-50% of your intelligence. That's a big chunk. For me, its because I can't think of anything else. I would circle her house until the lights were on and then I'd knock on the door. Or I would go to his office and not leave until he showed up. Paranoia will destroy you.

Resentment

Someone wrote about me a year ago. I hold a grudge. He was a friend, then wrote the worst crap about me. What a jerk. But when I think about it, I figure I lose about 20% of my intelligence. Particularly if the thoughts involve revenge. Then maybe 30% of my intelligence.

Regret

I've written about it a billion times. I lost a lot of money in 2000-2001. I regret it. Or, I should say,
I regretted it. I don't anymore. How come? Because I saw that regret was taking at least 60% of
my intelligence away. I couldn't afford 60%. 2% I could afford. Not 60%. I didn't start coming
up with ideas for new businesses until the regret went away.

Perfectionism

When I was running a fund I never wanted to have a down month. I'd be afraid to talk to my
investors then. One guy, who is still a good friend (I spoke with him today even) said, "listen,
if you're going to be a fund manager you have to be able to talk to people when you have a
down month".

But I was ashamed. When I lost my house, I moved 70 miles away. I didn't want to run into
anyone. I felt shame. When I write a blog post I think is weak, I might take it down before
too many see it. I'm ashamed of it. I want to win the Nobel Prize for blog writing. Or at l
east 10,000 Facebook likes. But I can't control that.

I'm imperfect. The shame of imperfection-ism takes at least 20% of my intelligence away.
Because people sense and appreciate honesty and honesty about imperfections, believe
it or not, creates enormous opportunities. I've seen it happen in my own life.

Control

I want to control everything around me. But sometimes things are bad and there's
nothing you can do about it. Sometimes you have to surrender and say, "this is bad
now but good things will happen later". Then a great weight lights off your shoulders.

You know why they always say "a great weight lifts off your shoulders?" because that's
where your brain is. And your brain is heavy. It rests on your shoulders. When stuff is
weighing it down you lose about 10-20% of your intelligence. Give up control and get smarter.

A simple example: you are late for a meeting but there's traffic. You can think
"God damn this traffic. Why am I always in traffic?" Or you can be thinking
about something smart: like how good bacon tastes. Can I make a better bacon?
Or how would I start a helicopter airline to take me from one side of the city
to the other. These seem like dumb thoughts. But they are much better than "
God damn this traffic!"

Guilt

A good friend of mine wrote me recently. I should say, wrote me six weeks ago.
Every day when I wake up I tell myself: don't return emails until you read, then
write. But then sometimes I have other things to do. Meetings. Or BS stuff. Or
eating. I say, "ok, I will return that email later." And then when later comes
I feel bad that I haven't returned his email earlier. Then at 3am I turn over and
say to Claudia, "I didn't return that email". She says "Urgh…ushghsh…emmmm"
which was not the answer I was looking for. Then I don't sleep as much. Then I
feel guilty. That takes away about 10% of my intelligence right there.

Worst Case Scenario

Lets say I lose $1000 in the stock market one day. Sometimes I think to
myself, "holy shit, if I lose that amount every day for the next…." And it
gets worse and worse. My worst case scenarios has my children begging
for food on the harsh streets of Bangalore. I've spent at least a year of my
life, when you add it up, thinking of the worst case scenario. Even though
the worst case scenario HAS NEVER HAPPENED. Or if it does happen,
it was never as bad as I thought it would be. I have a scarcity complex.
If I didn't have that then I'd have an "abundance complex". And I firmly
believe, abundance follows an abundance complex. So I'm smarter
(and wealthier) when I give up that scarcity complex.

Talking

Claudia wanted to say something important to me. But I spoke instead.
I imparted my great wisdom on her before she could get a word out.
Finally, she forgot what she was going to say. Probably because my
words were so wise they were like the Bible. Or like Robert's Rules of Order.
Or Strunk & White. That's how
wise I am. STRUNK AND WHITE! Extra talking probably takes
away at least 15% of my intelligence. Because I could've been
listening and learning. Or reading about grammar. Or not getting into an
accident when talking on the phone
Sometimes we just have to Shut Up!

Excuses

Everyone says, "I can't." I can't be a medical professional unless
I go to medical school. I can't be a movie maker unless I raise
$10 million to make a movie. I can't marry a super model because
I'm ugly. I can't I can't I can't. For every "can't " you should send me
$10. I can do all those things. Particularly if I have your $10.

By the way, just notice when these things come up. It's not like
you're going to get cured of paranoia. But notice when it appears.
Water withers the rock away. Every time you notice, the window
clears a tiny bit. A smudge is gone. You get a glimpse of the light outside.

You get a tiny bit smarter. Maybe later you have to look for the
deeper emotional reasons for why you feel the way you do
. And there are a lot of reasons. Everyone could've made
fun of your acne in junior high school and now you want
to be loved by everyone. (Err, maybe that happened to me)
But right now, this second, just don't get hit by a car when you cross the street.

You can say, "hey, wait a second! All of those things equal up to
more than 100%!" Well, what can I say? You're smarter than me.

Healing The Hidden Inner Self

noreply@blogger.com (Timothy Kendrick) — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 02:57:00 +0000

Many of us do not understand the inner self and the hurt and pain that we feel on the inside. If we were to comprehend our inner voices then we would better be able to deal with our inner ghosts. The way that we perceive ourselves has a large role to play in the equation. All our past successes and failures are related to our perception of self and if we are walking around life not whole then we are already at a disadvantage. We have to, in order to heal, start looking within and heal our inner self-first before we are able to move forward in life. The healing of the inner self is a keystone aspect of self-development and progress.

We all are not born with an external perception of ourselves. As we develop and grow, we are shaped by the experiences that we face in life. We are developed into personalities and internal perceptions by the environment we live in and the experiences that we face. This is where our outlook on life is also developed and this leads to the conceptualization of the self that we know. This inner self will not be perfect. We all have much that we can do to heal the inner being in us all and create a better self-concept so that we are able to move forward in life. We can heal the inner being in us all and move away from the instinctive behaviors that we project only if we are willing to communicate with our inner selves.

We are all social products that are based on the life we live and we develop from the social environment perceptions of ourselves that can put us down and lower our self-esteem. We can look in the mirror, see only negative thing, and think only negative thoughts. This is not the way to look at one's self and the need for inner self-healing is critical to moving beyond this stage and perceiving yourself as someone worthy of your own affection. If you do not like or love yourself how can it be expected that others will do so. We are often predisposed to look at ourselves as lesser persons and this is not how we will grow and move forward in life. Our true potential, though we may not know it, is linked directly to our perception of ourselves. If we have a bad perception of self, it is likely that we will never develop our true potential.

In the process of healing the inner self, we all have to look inwards and face all the different facets of our lives. We have to look at ourselves from all the different aspects and angles and achieve a balanced, positive outlook of self at the end of the equation. We have to dig deep and locate the inner strength to face our demons and ourselves head on and to move past them. The blocks that we throw up in life and in our minds are the things that will hinder our overall progress.

For progress in life, we have to develop and grow and heal our inner selves. Only then can we achieve all that we desire in life. We cannot continue to put ourselves down and think that we are not good enough. We have to focus our inner self to the achievement of higher goals and progress along a path where we are whole on the inside and able to face the obstacles of the outside world. If we are not strong within we will give up at the first sign of trouble. Success in life and in relationships is based on being good on the inside and this means that we have to heal our inner beings to achieve this goal.
