What limitations do you put on yourself? What dreams have you ignored because you thought you couldn’t achieve them? What are you willing to do to change that? When will you step out of your comfort zone? …if not now, will you ever?

Why do small businesses fail, especially direct sales or MLMs? Are we to believe it is the fault of the companies or is it the fault of the people joining? Many people taking advantage of these opportunities have little or no experience in running a business. Do they participate the training that is offered to them and hold appointments with clients or do they expect that miraculously they can build a business with no education and no effort. I believe in most cases, these companies offer a great opportunity for people if they are willing to roll up their sleeves and really work.

Stress Causes Frown Lines so Takes Steps to Reduce It
Meditation is a great way to reduce stress. It can be difficult to learn in the beginning however once you have reduced the mindless chatter in your brain you will feel a deep sense of peace. Done regularly twice a day for 20 minutes in the morning and the afternoon, one of the side effects of meditation that you may notice is increased intuition. Steven Covey talks about “Sharpening the Saw” or time spent in renewal. Meditation is one of the best exercises, I know of, for doing just that.

Exercise for Vitality and Increased Flexibility
Staying active now will prevent many health related issues later in life. Choose some aerobic, some stretching and some weight lifting to get a good balance in your exercise routine. Many more types of exercise are available today than ever before; from pole dancing which is extremely strenuous, to belly dancing, yoga, salsa dancing, kick boxing and martial arts as well as the traditional aerobic and weight classes. Exercising not only keeps your body fit, it stimulates synapses and dendrites in your brain.

Eat Healthy Foods and Use Supplements for Optimum Nutrition
You’ve heard it before “You are what you eat.” Choosing healthy nutritious foods not only helps nourish your body and brain but also your skin. By improving your nutrition and water intake you will revitalize every cell in your body. Supplements are a great way to optimize your nutrition when life gets too busy. Learn to be selective in what you consume and your vitality will soar.

Eliminate Negativity and Negative People in Your Life
Give up gossip. Negativity is a drain on your mental resources and your health. Choose to be around people and places that nourish your soul. It is hard to let people leave your life when they have been friends for a long time however their negativity hurts not only themselves, it drains you. Be a source of joy in other people lives and watch your own life flourish.

Take Personal Time for You
Take a couple of hours a week to spend on things you love to do. You can share this time with friends or use it as solitary time to focus on your goals and aspirations. Getting up early in the morning when everyone else is asleep can be a very productive time for many people because there are no interruptions. The same can be true of time spent after everyone else has gone to bed.

Small steps over a few weeks time integrating some of these ideas into your life will reap many benefits; a sense of peace and contentment, more energy and vitality, better health, a happier lifestyle and a renewed sense of accomplishment. Aren’t you worth it? Find what works for you and “Make your life a mission not an intermission!”

How do you take the emotional charge out of the situation or thoughts you are having? Emotionally charged events and even thoughts about the possibility of a confrontation or challenge can sap even the heartiest of souls. In this state, concentration evades you unless you can break or change the tapes you play in your head. You must realistically assess the situation and take action on what you believe will ultimately help move things in a more positive direction.

First acknowledge how much control you actually have in the situation. In many cases we worry about the past over which we have no control. Similarly we also often fret about the future and imagine it to be far worse than ever plays out. If there is something that you actually have some ability to affect in the present, you have a place to begin. Any energy put into worrying about something that you have no ability to change, wastes your valuable time and energy. Just the act of acknowledging the fact that someone else has the responsibility can alleviate the sense of helplessness that we feel.

In addition you must trust that the people who are involved and over which you have no control will manage the situation in a capable manner. If need be at a later date, you can assess the situation again. If your assistance is welcomed, you have the option to advise or to help move things forward. Often we need to let people learn by experience. As with children, we give them “roots and wings” and then let them fly on their own.

Depression can be triggered by a feeling of impotence, lack of control or the inability to change a situation. Being aware of what you can or cannot do helps keep you in your power and permits you stay focused. By choosing a positive, proactive route when faced with this type of situation, you allow the other parties to grow and allow yourself the peace of mind to accomplish what you were meant to do.

You are resisting the “flow” which is the only way the universe sends her goodies to you. You are paddling upstream and just can’t paddle any faster. You feel you have been stuck in the same spot, forever. However, everyday is different and every day you draw to you what you are focusing on.

The only way to change the results in your life is to change the focus. Paddle with the river! Go with the flow and the tasks become easy. Allowing God or the universe to assist you in your desires, results in a massive shift. The most important thing is that you FEEL GOOD about whatever it is that you are doing. If a relationship doesn’t feel good, it probably isn’t good! Pay attention to your gut feelings, the area around your solar plexus. You will have a better idea if you are allowing the “flow” in you life or if you are resisting something.

Ask yourself what it is you are resisting? Is it that the relationship is just not working but you have put too much time into it? What if you don’t meet someone else? Is the job your security blanket? It is a really good income but …you hate the work? Figure out what causes the knot in your gut then eliminate it and restore the “flow” in your life. Doing what you love and feeling passionate about you’re the people and activities in your life will pull all sorts of wonderful synchronicities to you. At that point people will be pointing to you and saying, “He/She has all the luck”!

Today was interesting as I looked back to the New Year’s Days of my childhood. Some of the traditions have been discarded and although I loved them, I understand why. We are busier now than ever before and don’t make time for the little things we used to do. Our family members are spread out globally now and it is not as easy to get together. However as things change there are always positives that come from it. Time to focus on the wonderful new people (Pedro) that have come into our lives and the new opportunities.

Reciprosity ~ a situation or relationship in which two people or groups agree to do something similar for each other, to allow each other to have the same rights, etc. : a reciprocal arrangement or relationship

The relationships in networking groups where you exchange leads are an example of this. Be aware of the flow or give and take and make sure that you are returning favours as well. If you don’t, your source of leads or favours may dry up.

When you use fear to sell your clients on buying your products, they do not buy out of loyalty or love and are less likely to purchase again. They will be drawn to the next person’s pitch that addresses a greater fear.
