Beating Burnout Series (A.k.a. How To Be A Full-Time Badass): 01 - What & Why?

By Chase Howard

Let me just get this party started saying that in addition to simply being a contributor, hand model, co-HBIC and fanboy for Urban Vitals, I also work as a badass creative director/designer in an industry that's regularly ranked as one most stressful (more about that later). This is valuable to note because my work is my world - and I say this proudly and with zero regard for critics (weak people) touting the importance of work-life balance. Fairy-tales, I say.

I genuinely love my work because who I am personally closely plays into what I do. It's this blending of life and work, however, which can and has at times brought about the cold hard fact of burnout.

It's my belief anything, which demands a substantial and continual investment of your time and energy, brings about burnout - whether it is work, family, fitness, prescription drug problems, etc.

Without the right toolkit for recovery, burnout is a horrific concept for someone like me because of the debilitating effect it could have and has had on my life (burnout makes me fat). It's also something I've had to witness colleagues and friends battle. So it seems fitting that a personal exercise in defining the triggers of and solutions to burnout are going to be worth sharing. You're welcome.

Over the next few posts in this series, I'll address triggers of burnout and ninja warrior moves (solutions) for overcoming them. I'll also add a mix of my own personal experiences slightly embellished for dramatic effect and exaggerated self-importance.

Ok, let's get this going

What is Burnout and why is it bad?

Burnout is sort of a bad case of diarrhea; you can't always be readied for it, but you definitely know when it hits - leaving you drained, hopeless and less of who you were before. It's that general malaise that has you pulling the covers across your head instead of leaping up and about. It's the sudden urge to quit this bitch and head to the airport instead of back to the office. It's the no-energy, no-motivation, no-dreams approach - a complete mind f#ck. It's awful and it's something I've discovered a lot of people battle at some point in your life.

For the urban warrior, life demands an endless influx of motivation and energy (both physical and mental). The pain of burnout is obvious: You just can't get motivated. You feel old, ineffective, hopeless and oftentimes just wanna cut a bitch. The thought of moving at all, let alone moving forward, requires way too much effort. This is the reason burnout makes me fat.

Well I say burnout is a waste of time and energy! While you're suffering, you could be living an amazing, magical life.

You've likely experienced burnout at some moment because you're wasting time looking over this post; maybe it was related to work, school, a relationship, that trick you regularly have over or the strict diet of flavored steam and ice chips (nobody likes a fatty). Sometimes it creeps up, building over time, while other times it jumps out of the blue and donkey punches the hell out of you. One day it's all rainbows and unicorns; the next, you're contemplating why you ever committed so much time and energy when you could just give it all up and move to Hawaii - that is before you got burnout on that too.

Burnout doesn't always derive from the same source, either. It can come from working hard and needing a break, from lack of challenge or in my experience, stupid people doing stupid shit that gets in your way. That means addressing burnout is going to require some analysis. You might need a good, long rest, or you might need a kick in the ass. You might need a stronger focus on your targets, or you may need a completely new target.

With all these variables, you may wonder how there can be one report or article on the topic of burnout and ways to cure it.

Well, there isn't one - probably due to the person who was writing it got burnout and is in Hawaii with a hotter, younger trick. That's why in this short series we're going to tackle the five most popular sources of burnout and five solutions for getting all Steven Segal on it. Whether you're finished with your life as a whole, or you want to change your workout routine, or you need a new job, there will be some solutions for everyone. Remember, you may not see yourself in every situation, but if you're impacted by burnout, you'll definitely find some tips for revving your engine and get you motivated.

Ready? Let's hit it.

By Maestro Ricardii

"Over-Education" anxiety is little discussed, yet it is calmly ruining untold numbers of house business out there today ... Actually, maybe performing yours without you also understanding it.

I have actually been anxiously hanging around to write about Over-Education anxiety since its been destroying lots of people excellence in the home based business field ... It took me at some time to finally have the opportunity to do it ...

In the past I have gotten messages from team members and buddies that were deep in the middle of an over-education anxiety attack. Below's how I knew this certain pal was experiencing this ... ... He shared with me that he had actually learned lots of skills, procedures, and strategies proven to assist increase his business to the next degree.

Studying Tips: Two Tips That Give You More Free Time

By Lachlan Haynes

Pop quiz: What is your most valuable non-renewable resource? What is the one thing that you spend all day long every day and yet you can never get any more of it? The answer of course is your time. Do you know anyone that can create more time? I didn't think so (but I was hoping you might!)

But more important than understanding that time is your most important resource is knowing that there are no guarantees about how much time you have left. I don't mean to shock you, but you have no idea if you have 50 years left or 50 seconds left. There is no way you can predict how much time you have left. Sure, you can make a guess. But that's all it is - a guess. Unfortunately, most people have no idea how valuable their time is and they spend it like it will never end! Everything they want to achieve will happen "one day" or "at some point".

But how can this be? The only thing you really have in life is your time. You can get more money or more stuff but your amount of time never stops getting smaller and smaller. Look, it's ticking away right now. Goodbye time! Thanks for coming. Can you see that your time is not to be wasted?

So how do you spend your time? Have you been wasting it? Or do you spend your time wisely? Whilst we now know we can't get more time, we can always save time can't we? We can work faster or we can work smarter and by doing these things we can save time. When we save time we create more free time. We all like free time don't we?

We all love free time don't we? Free time is time free of any outside obligation. It's all yours to do with as you please. Ideally, your entire day (every day) would be free time. That would be time nirvana! But that's a discussion for another day. You want more free time so that you can spend more time doing whatever you want to do (like play video games or sit on the internet for 6 hours straight for no reason). So let's look at two simple strategies that you can use straight away to create more free time.

Number one: Four or five 15-minute breaks from doing work equals an hour or more of free time every day. If you do that five days a week that's five or so more hours of free time every week. Five hours a week equals 250 hours a year! What could you do in 250 hours of free time? That's a lot of time to do whatever you love doing.

Number two: Be aware of your dead time and use it wisely. What's dead time you may ask? Dead time is when you are not doing anything productive but it is also not really free time. For example, you may be out and about walking the dog, you might be riding a bike, you might be waiting for someone to pick you up after soccer practice, or you might be driving a car (these are merely examples). Dead time is any time that isn't really used for anything at all - so start using this time to get ahead.

Maybe you can make a recording of the notes you must memorize and you can listen to them during these times? Maybe you have some flash cards you made and can use the time to look over them? Maybe you have an oral examination coming up and can practice your speech? Maybe you can just read through your text book. The point is take your dead time and make it time well spent. Fifteen minutes spent studying whilst on your way home from school is fifteen minutes you don't have to do that night.

It's time to start valuing your time more than you ever have before. Remember, your time is always coming to an end. You just don't know when that end point is. I hope for you that it's still 100 years away. But there's a good chance it's less than that. Much less! So make every minute count. Save as much time as you can and spend your life doing something meaningful to you. Good luck.

Getting Rich Principles - Essential 10 Point Overview To Creating An Abundant Life

By Denise N. Bates

Wattles -- as in Wallace D Wattles -- is author of "The Science of Getting Rich", which is one of the landmark books of the past 100 years. In his book, published in 1910, Wattles teaches getting rich principles which have become the staple of the modern self improvement industry. Napoleon Hill, Earl Nightingale, and Bob Proctor, just to name a few have all written about the "universal secret" and, of course, Rhonda Byrne's film The Secret was inspired by the Wattles science of getting rich principles. To help you better understand the essence of what Wattles says in his book about creating life abundance, here is an essential overview of the ten key science of getting rich principles he describes:

[The Science Of Getting Rich]

You have the inherent right to live an abundant life. As Wattles explains, this is the natural order of things in the Universe. It's also a mindset that tends to fly in the face of normal social conventions. If you are like most people, your natural tendency is to believe you aren't deserving or worthy. This is the first area for you to focus on if you wish to become rich.There is a natural energy of the universe which is the essence of all creation and this energy is triggered your by thoughts. In other words, thoughts are real things and they are the catalyst to creating anything. First, there is the thought, then the feeling, then the action.The universe is naturally abundant. Rather than being tricked into believing resources are scarce and you must compete for everything, understand that abundance abounds. This frees you to use your creative mind.

Begin to take action: The vision is formed and nurtured, and your mind is focused on the now. This will begin to drive your actions; it will stimulate you to your best. But this is only the beginning. Out of the "Thinking Substance" which "permeates" the universe and which makes up everything will come ideas and plans. These will bubble into your consciousness and lead you to specific actions that will move you to the fulfillment of your vision. Recall the quote we began with: "By thought, the thing you want is brought to you; by action you receive it." These ideas and plans are the specific actions for you're to receive the thing that is brought to you. Again from chapter 12 of "The Science of Getting Rich:"

Whatever your action is to be, it is evident that you must act NOW. You cannot act in the past, and it is essential to the clearness of your mental vision that you dismiss the past from your mind. You cannot act in the future, for the future is not here yet.Hold with faith and purpose the vision of yourself in the better environment, but act upon your present environment with all your heart, and with all your strength, and with all your mind. As you begin to live life this way you will find new energy and joy. The visions are expressions of your soul and will form into actions and then into physical reality.

In business, the key-thought in all your efforts must be to convey THE IMPRESSION OF INCREASE in other people's minds. Continuous advancement and increase in life is what all men and women are seeking. People are attracted to those who can give them more of the means of life and this attraction will result in you becoming rich. Therefore, no matter how small the transaction, even the selling of a stick of candy, put into it the thought of increase into the mind of the customer. Hold the unshakable faith in yourself, that you are in the way of increase and let it permeate every action. Don't boast of your success or seek power over other men. Beware the competitive mind! What you want for you, you must want for everybody.

THE ADVANCING MAN is one who holds a clear vision of himself as successful in his field, who obeys the laws of faith and purpose, and gratitude. No matter whether you're a wage-earner or a businessman; whether you're a doctor, teacher, clergyman etc., you will attract a large loyal following and never be "out of a job"! The man who is certain to advance is one who knows what he wants and can become. Do not try to fill more of your present place with a view to pleasing your employer; rather, do it with the idea of advancing yourself. When an opportunity to be more than you are now is presented and you feel impelled towards it, take it. It will be the first step toward a greater opportunity. There is no such thing in the universe as a lack of opportunity for the man who is living the advancing life.

Hypnosis is a technique for influencing your mind by suggestion. Create positive suggestions and build a positive frame of mind. Repeat these suggestions over time and you will move from wherever you are into the frame of mind required to use the law of attraction. You will not only overcome but you will eliminate negative thought patterns that have sabotaged you up to this point. This is the general use of hypnosis.

Guard your speech. Never speak of yourself, your affairs, or of anything else in a discouraged or discouraging way. Never admit the possibility of failure. Never speak of times as being hard, or of business conditions as being doubtful. When you operate on the creative plane, you can create what you want. When others are having hard times and poor business, you will find your greatest opportunities. Train yourself to think of and look upon the world as something which is becoming, growing. Never allow yourself to be disappointed. If you do not receive the thing you want, go on in the Certain Way, and you will receive something so much better. You will see that the seeming failure was really a great success. When you make a "failure", it is because you have not asked for enough! Do not hesitate or waver with fear, go on in full faith.

Chapter 2 is called, "There Is A Science of Getting Rich." In this chapter we learn that getting rich is achieved by doing things in a "certain way." Our suggestion reinforces this in our mind causing us to embrace the belief and make it our own. And further, we need not have material wealth to achieve wealth; we need only do things in a "certain way." This becomes real as we reinforce it using affirmations and hypnosis.So we continue through the book creating affirmations and suggestions for each chapter to make the book a part of our very being so that we don't just approach it with head knowledge but with a deep understanding because it has become a part of us. Success follows this simple method as you move from chapter to chapter enhancing the words and their effects on your being. You will naturally be happy, naturally be positive, naturally be thankful and this is at the core of applying the law of attraction.

Positive Affirmations Demystified

By Hamsa Cremers

You are currently waking up every morning for that job you dread. Your life is on auto-pilot, going through the motions and living an ordinary, uneventful life.Affirmations can change your entire life in less than 5 minutes a day. Imagine being able to change how you think on a regular basis to be more positive. Well that is how affirmations work, so let's get you started on your own list.How to Create a Positive Affirmation,Positive affirmations are very easy to construct, but it takes a good deal of time to truly identify your wants and desires. An affirmation does little good if you're asking for the wrong thing. Take a few minutes of your day and list everything you want to change about your life. This list could include - your health, job, relationships, or self-esteem.

[Positive Affirmations]

It is important to keep your affirmations positive and in the present tense. If you have a negative affirmation, you will continue to live in your ordinary life. Creating a positive affirmation starts by changing the way you think. Focus on what you do want, rather then what you don't want. This may sound obvious, must it is very difficult to grasp.For example, let's say you have a problem with face acne and you want to get rid of it. You might consider saying, "I don't have any acne." You are thinking along the right lines, but your mind is hearing something completely different.

Make Positive Daily Affirmations Short And Clear. First, because your experience will create the conditions that allow affirmations to manifest, word the affirmations carefully to make them crystal-clear. State your real, innermost desires and articulate your most expansive sense of self. Affirmations based on a narrow self-concept deliver results that fall short, cause suffering, and further diminish the sense of self.

Positive affirmations can work by just reading the sentence to yourself. If you want to get the most out of affirmations the best method is to repeat your affirmations into the mirror out loud. What this does is fully reprogram your mind because you will see yourself saying what it is that you want. This is very powerful and will help you visual your goals and desires and you will reach them faster.

When broken down and explained in easy to understand terms, positive affirmations aren't nearly as mystical as they appear at first glance. If you really stop and think about them, you will find that they are actually a very logical force in life. In this way, you can see that all of the claims people make about positive affirmations, rather than being magical or mystical, are really believable. This will be your first step in changing your own life with positive affirmations.

Richard is a Master Practitioner of neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), Hypnosis, and Neurological Re-patterning. He is also the co-founder of New You Life Coaching. Because his interests stem from philosophy, spirituality, psychology, and leadership, Rich's coaching style incorporates a rare and ingenious approach to understanding and empowering you in an insanely effective manner.

Almost any self help book that you read will stress the importance of positive affirmations and for good reason. The way that we think has a huge impact on what we can and can't accomplish. Therefore the first step in achieving most goals in convincing yourself that you can do it.

Affirmations work by redirecting your thought frequencies and patterns hence replacing your negative beliefs with positive ones. You change the way you think and the way you feel about things, and you start to see tangible results of your positive affirmations. Affirmations will work for you if you are ready to leave the past behind and embrace a new way of doing things so that you can free yourself of the negativity that has been subconsciously subjected to you.

Whenever you are trying to tell yourself something, either by thought or by saying it out loud, you are affirming yourself of something. We are constantly affirming ourselves to do something, change something or achieve something. All our affirmations are a manifestation of our inner beliefs and truths. Most of the affirmations we have are acquired at a tender age, hence they are deeply rooted in our subconscious mind as we grow. Most of our responses to every situation are an automatic adaptation from the way we were raised. This is because our subconscious mind uses memories, feelings and everything that has been stored over a period of time since we encountered it.

In order for affirmations to work you have to use them regularly, everyday is ideal. The more you tell yourself something the more likely it is that you will come to believe it. Once you believe something it can be very hard to change your mind. This is why you have to use the positive affirmations consistently, it is very hard to change your negative beliefs. The good news however is that once you reach the point where you believe the positive thoughts it will be very difficult to change your mind.You can use positive affirmations to change almost any belief that you want. That means that for any goal that you have you will be able to find a positive affirmation that will help you achieve it. There are lots of books that you can use to find them or you can even make them up yourself. If you are going to make them up yourself you are going to have to make sure that you word them correctly so you will need to take a little bit of time to learn how to do this.

From Study Stress To Study Success: 14 Tips That Will Take You To The Top

By Lachlan Haynes

Feeling burnt out? Feeling tired? Feeling stressed? Feeling like no matter how hard you try you just can't get the grades you want? Well it's time to turn that frown upside down and change all your problems into awesome possibilities!

Below are 14 tips that can turn your study stress into study success in only a few minutes!

1. Create goals for yourself. Write down your goals and include everything you want to achieve this year and all the years that follow. Then look at your goals every day so that you know them off by heart. If you don't know what you want you will never be motivated to take action!

2. Move all obstacles that are stopping you achieve your goals. Don't allow time-wasters to suck the life out of you. Get off the X-Box. Get off Facebook. Turn off the TV. You can do this. Know what you want and then get it!

3. Identify the actions you need to take. It's one thing to write out your goals. It's another things altogether to understand what it will take to make them happen. Figure out what the actions are that make up your goals. What will take you from where you are now to where you want to go?

4. Do something! Once you know which actions are your most important actions, take some action! Anyone can make a plan. Anyone can come up with a brilliant idea. Anyone can think of solutions. It's the doing that makes the difference. So take action. Right now! Go, go, go, go, and go. Now.

5. Visualize your achievements. The best part about visualization is that you can do it any time. You can do it during class, you can do it on the train, you can do it lying in bed, or you can do it at your weekend job. Imagine what you are going to achieve and how it will happen. Do this every day.

6. Create affirmations and then read them every day. Write down whatever you need to tell yourself each day to get yourself pumped up, grateful for life and ready to rock. Then make sure you can fit it into your school bag, wallet or purse so that you can read it whenever you want some inspiration.

7. Stretch and breathe. Don't just breathe to live, breathe to relax! Deep breaths are great for keeping your cool and getting the energy flowing. Stretching is great for getting the blood flowing and getting your muscles active. So breathe deeply whenever you think of it and stretch like a madman whenever you have a chance!

8. Read and watch. Find someone (or many people!) you want to be like. Then read their books and watch their YouTube videos. Engage with them in any way you can. Listen to them. Do what they do. You don't need to reinvent the wheel to be a success, just do as successful people do. That's being smart.

9. Love every minute. There is no point "existing". You need to "live". What does it mean to live? It means loving what you're doing - at all times. Now, it's hard to get excited about school or work each day, there is no question about that, but your life is short and you need to enjoy it. You need to make each day count. Love your life.

10. Associate with people that are successful. If you spend time with blobs you will become a blob too. You need to surround yourself with people that want more from life. Surround yourself with people that have big dreams and even bigger motivation levels. They will drag you with them and help take you where you really want to go.

11. Drink your way to success! No not booze - water! Drink as much water as you can muster, mister. Eight glasses a day is a good guide. Why? Well, your brain is 75% water. Your blood is 90% water. The body will shut down within days without water. Water prevents illness and disease. Water turns the food you eat into energy. Need we say more? Drink up!

12. Eat smaller means and eat them more often. We all like to eat don't we? Well, most people do anyway. You only have to look around to see how much the world loves eating. But three meals a day isn't quite right. Instead, have 6 meals a day and make them smaller - and healthier. Your body will continually burn the food and won't store it as fat. You're also less likely to become overweight or obese. More meals and less fat? Winning!

13. Reduce your consumption of the four fatal stimulants. Coffee, cigarettes, alcohol and sugar are a perfect storm - for illness and disease! If you want to die a young and painful death then knock yourself out. Most people don't really want that - but it doesn't mean they don't consume dangerous things. You wouldn't give cigarettes, coffee, alcohol or loads of sugar to your pet, so why do you consume them? Do you have more respect for your pet than yourself? Weird.

14. Tense and relax. When you tense all the muscles in your body and then let it go it really helps the body to unwind and remain calm. So start using this whenever you're feeling anxious or stressed. Tense and relax. Tense and relax. Ah! Feels good doesn't it?

You have the power to make your life whatever you want it to be. But it truly is up to you. You must not allow others or circumstances to prevent you from doing whatever it is you want to do. Take massive action every day and kick some studying butt! Good luck.

How To Get Better Grades - How To Quickly Achieve Your Goals

By Lachlan Haynes

The first rule of goal setting is defining what you want to achieve. Simple right? The second rule is understanding why you want to achieve it. It's not enough to simply define the goal, you must also be really dedicated to the "why" part of it as well. If you're not, nothing will happen. Don't believe me? Well ask yourself, why would you passionately pursue something if you don't know why you're doing it?

Once you have established the "what" and the "why", you can move to the next step - the "who". As in, who do you need to be to make sure that goal happens? What sort of actions do you need to take? How will you know if you are really on track or if you are just kidding yourself? Are you becoming the person you need to become to achieve the goal? Or are you just hoping that you can be exactly as you are now and still achieve the goal?

In other words, do you improve yourself each day in order to become the person you need to be in order to achieve the goal you want to achieve - or do you change nothing and do nothing and just hope everything will somehow work out for the best? Remember, be honest!

People love events but people don't like processes. Unfortunately, the process is the most important part of achieving any goal. Think about it. We love to see the pounds just melting away (the event), but we don't like to eat healthily and exercise strenuously each day (the process). We love to receive a great score on a test (the event), but we don't like all the homework and study that is required to make it happen (the process). As I said, people love events but people don't like processes.

Getting good grades is hard work. Being fit and healthy is hard work. Being a great musician is hard work. The process of achievement always weeds out the weak - and unfortunately it doesn't always reward the strong.

However, for those of us who make a choice to go through the process, the events are extra sweet. A top grade, getting into College, winning the Super Bowl, or running a four minute mile are all events that happened because the person made a decision and went through the process.

This is important when we consider setting our goals and seeking to achieve them. Obviously, if the event itself is the only reason we setting the goal then it makes sense that we are going to struggle through the process required to realize the goal. That's just common sense isn't it?

So, if you are going to set a goal, you really need to understand what process you are going to have to go through to achieve it and make sure you are committed to it. The event is secondary; the process is what you are really committing yourself to. You must ask yourself, "What actions will I have to take every day to go through the process? Who will I need to be to go through the process?" If you can't answer that, you won't be able to achieve the goal you have set.

Goal achievement isn't a result or magic or miracles (although many of us just wish it was that simple). It actually just comes back to understanding what you want, why you want it and who you need to be to make it happen. Once you have all that in mind, the process will take over and the event will take care of itself. But if you follow the trend and focus on the event, you can be sure you will struggle to reach it.

Corporate Entertainment Activities To Choose From Party Rentals In NJ

By Melissa Hansen

Planning a corporate event, which includes many different levels of employees, is sometimes nerve wracking. Not only do exact schedules often need to be followed with a list of scheduled speakers, or events, but the event planner must find ways to defy boredom. This is true of company picnics, business events, or even team building exercises.

Party rentals in NJ can help in finding the best entertainment that leaves the control of events in the planner's hands, but allows for hours of entertainment that can actually keep those attending focused and engaged in the event.

For the regular company picnics, employees bringing their family and children usually experience a stressful time because of the lack of interest and the children's short attention span. Since these children usually get bored quickly, parents are forced to go home without enjoying much of the company picnic.

A Fun House Combo Bouncer or Jurassic Adventure will keep little one's engaged and their parents happily focused on enjoying some conversation with co-workers. A Ferris Wheel is another example of simple fun as it can fit up to 16 children at time and will offer everyone a good time with minimum space taken up by the ride itself.

On the other hand, adults and employees can have fun with exhilarating entertainment activities like the Human Foosball, a game that exactly lives up to its name. There are five players in each team and they can securely play a game of soccer in a bouncy place where harnesses keep them steady and in place. The Human Foosball can definitely keep everyone alive and kicking! Inflated mazes are great attention-getters, too. Simple and safe to do, these inflatable giant mazes can make everyone scream in fun and excitement while building teamwork and cooperation.

A hidden secret that many corporate planners might not realize is party rentals can also solve fun food problems. Portable candy stores, cotton candy machines, hot dog machines and charts, not to mention an inflatable bar can all be rented. These event planner treats not only take up little space they can keep crowds moving with food and drinks attendees can carry away with them. With these treats and activities a corporate event can benefit consulting with a NJ party rental company.

Why Can't You Motivate Yourself To Study? Five Tips From Top Students To Turn It All Around

By Lachlan Haynes

There is no question that it is very hard to find the energy and drive required to get study done when you don't know how to motivate yourself to study. Motivation and passion go hand in hand, but it can be extremely difficult to get passionate about studying!

So instead of telling you that motivation should come easily to you, we are going to provide you with some wisdom that has been provided by students just like you. Here are five tips you can use to move your study forward - especially when you don't feel like studying!

Tip One. Become very aware of your thoughts. We have thousands of conscious thoughts every day. Thoughts such as "What's for breakfast?" or "I will never get this study or assignment done on time!" Thoughts such as these must be carefully monitored and controlled. Why? Well, if you think you can, you can. If you think you can't, you can't. It really is that simple. Start changing the way you think by replacing negative thoughts with positive ones. Use thoughts like "I can do this" or "I'm always making progress" or "I always get work done on time!" The more you say these things to yourself the more they will become ingrained in your psyche.

Tip Two. Visualize your awesomeness. It might seem corny but visualization is a great tool for getting motivated. Think about how good it feels when you hand in your homework or assignment on time. Or how great you feel when you get a top grade on your next test. Think first, act second.

Tip Three. Take small steps consistently. The demotivating part of most tasks is that they seem so huge and hard that it seems pointless even getting started. But that's the trap you must avoid. If you have to write a 1000 word essay, then start by writing just 50 words. That's only one paragraph. You don't have to write it all in one go you know! Break it down into parts. Your worry will only disappear when you take some action. So take some small regular action and remember that repetition is your friend.

Tip Four. Surround yourself with study buddies. If you can find others who are experiencing similar things to you there is no doubt it will help calm you down and see that you are not alone. But the best part is that study buddies will give you their own words of wisdom and tips about how to get the work done (not to mention hold you accountable for getting it done!) It is highly motivating when you team up with others and make a commitment to getting the task done.

Tip Five. The more you do the closer you are to the end. We've all been there. Work just seems to constantly pile up and no matter how much you get done there is always more work to do. But the thing to remember is that every day brings you closer to completion. When you hand in an assignment you have ticked a box. When you sit a test or exam you have ticked a box. There are only so many boxes you have to tick before your study days are over. Your life will not be like this forever. So start ticking boxes like crazy and before you know it they'll all be ticked!

Keep in mind that life is not about study. But it's something you need to do and because of that you need to find a way to motivate yourself to study. So follow the five steps and start taking baby action steps each day and before you know your study days will be over. Good luck!

Tips To Reduce Public Speaking Anxiety

By Cheryl P. Rivera

Why does trying to speak another language make us so nervous? It's incredible how someone can be brilliant in other highly complex subjects and have panic attacks when they have to learn another language. This is so common that there is even The Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS). So how can you overcome this common problem? Below are a few ideas that could help.Learning another language is hard and feeling nervous about learning it is normal. It's like having to give a presentation about what you've learned every day. That's not expected in any other subjects. You are often given weeks or at least days to prepare to present in other circumstances. Learning a language is different in so many ways.

[Speaking Anxiety]

It's critically important to feel comfortable with the people around you, particularly when you are learning. Make sure you have a teacher who is supportive and helpful. If not, find a new one.Role playing is one of the most helpful things you can do to reduce your speaking anxiety. As I mentioned in item one, speaking a foreign language is like having to present constantly. When I have to give a presentation at work, I prepare extensively to help me feel more comfortable, including scripting and rehearsing it as many times as I can. The same steps can be applied to language. What are some common conversations that you have that you can script and rehearse?Practice is the key to all language acquisition, but you don't always have someone to practice with. Also, if you are suffering from anxiety, you may not have the nerve and motivation to practice with another person. A way to practice on your own is to narrate your activities. When you are getting dressed in the morning, try saying the steps out loud, like "I'm going to take a shower" and "I'm putting on my shirt".Sometimes identifying what triggers your anxiety can be a big step in controlling it. Try and keep a journal of when you feel anxious. Is it a certain person that makes you nervous? Is it a certain situation?What I am going to teach you here is the fact that there is a physical reason for our feeling frightened when put into a position to speak in public. That reason is our body's perception that speaking in front of others is a "threatening situation" that demands the over-creation of adrenalin. And it is the over-creation of adrenalin that gives us our symptoms of feeling frightened.

In medical terminologies, public speaking anxiety is referred to as "glossophobia." It is a very common reported type of social fears. It is actually normal that you will experience nervousness during your presentation or speech. However, in the case of a person with a Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD), your feeling of anxiety during public speaking will take out and control your life. You will worry too much a few weeks to months before the date of your speech or presentation. On the day of the presentation, you will suffer from intense physical symptoms of anxiety such as pounding heart, blushing, inability to breathe, and quivering voice. These symptoms result from the flight or fight response of your body. There is a sudden release of adrenaline that prepares you for a sudden threat of danger. At this moment, you will experience loss of body control.

Short-Term Treatments of Glossophobia.If this condition interferes in your life, it can be diagnosed as under the category of SAD. Fortunately, fear of public speaking can be managed easily. Short-term treatment includes cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and systematic desensitization. On the other hand, if you have a public speaking anxiety that causes you to experience significant distress, you need to ask a doctor for possible referrals to a psychologist. In addition to numerous traditional ,Many people feel very anxious when they are asked to speak publicly. Anxiety is a perfectly normal reaction to stressful situations, but for some, public speaking can cause more than just a fleeting anxiety attack. Learn some techniques to overcome normal and more serious feelings of anxiety.The famous author was due to deliver a short speech at a Women's Institute meeting. Now although he was very good with words when they were written down, he was not so confident with the spoken word. In fact, he was always quite anxious about making a speech.

Another irrational thought is the belief that people will notice everything. This is known as the fallacy of exaggeration. During a speech, some of us will tremble a little. Because we are in constant self-evaluation during a stressful situation, we believe that people will notice. Finally, the last fallacy is the fallacy of perfection. There is an implied belief that we must execute the most perfect speech ever. We are our own toughest critic. We believe that mispronouncing a word or skipping a sentence will ruin the whole speech.

The point is, the final job will not look half as good if the preparation work is not done well.It's the same with a good speech. If you don't collect together the material about which you are going to speak, sort it all into a sensible well thought out order so that all the points you want to cover are included and then arrange that material in an understandable way, your speech will be a disaster. Without that preparation, your task on the day will be immeasurably more difficult.But with all that preparation behind you, your confidence in your own ability with regard to the accuracy of the information should be OK.Your next task, of course, is the delivery of the speech and your preparation for your delivery should be just as thorough as your preparation of the content of the speech.So, what are the ways in which you can prepare yourself for delivery of your speech?During your preparation, find time to practise the speech. Read it through several times and you'll get a feel for how it sounds. If you can, record the speech as you hope to deliver it and listen to the playback carefully. Note down anything which didn't sound quite right so that you can change it at the end.

About a week before the speech try to build up a positive image of yourself giving the speech really well. 'See' yourself standing confidently and relaxed in front of your audience. 'See' the audience listening intently to you and laughing naturally at your jokes. 'Listen' to the applause after the speech is finished. Do this several times a day for a week or so before the day of your speech.Now that you have done your preparation in the lead up to speech day, you can concentrate on helping yourself on the day.Relaxation techniques such as breathing deeply and slowly in and out as you are being introduced can be very good for putting your body at ease. Something else to try at the same time might be to tighten and slowly relax various muscle groups. Not necessarily in any order these might include; the thigh muscles, calf muscles, the muscles in your arms, shoulders and back. This should relieve any tension in your body so that you can concentrate on your delivery.

How many times have you heard someone talk and you feel lost? Once you know the material, you need to organize it in a coherent way. Ask yourself, what is the goal of my speech? Make sure you present your material in an organized way (beginning, middle and end). This process gives you a map that if lost, can help you find your way back. With practice, if you forget what you where saying will help you gather your thoughts and know where you were.

Once you have your game plan prepared, imagine yourself giving the speech. Visualization is a technique that helps you become familiar with the event. Imagine you are giving the speech in front of a big group. The more you practice the material and the more you see yourself doing it, the less anxious you will be. It is alright to have an error or two. Many people, as mentioned before, think that every word or every sentence must be perfect. Keep in mind that your audience does not know what you have planned for them. If you omit a word or sentence, they will not notice it.

It doesn't matter why we react as we do to speaking in public and it doesn't matter if we remember a particular incident that triggered our anxiety or not. Since our fear is not based on an actual threat to us, we need only eliminate the symptoms of that fear to gain back our self-confidence and function as if we don't have fear. Intellectually, we know there is nothing really to fear when we speak in public, but our bodies act as if there is and it's completely out of our control.Without the symptoms of fear we can speak in public in a more thoughtful and relaxed manner than we ever thought possible. And if we can speak in public in a relaxed manner, guess what - WE CAN SPEAK IN PUBLIC!! PERIOD Really, it's just that simple.The symptoms of fear of speaking in public are curable specifically at the time you're put in a position to speak in public by taking a doctor-prescribed, safe, inexpensive and non-addictive medication. As I will explain, this medication allows us to control the cause of our symptoms exactly at the time when they are getting out of control. Therefore, what I am going to teach you will help those of us who have to routinely give presentations for our careers, those who need to only give several speeches a lifetime for wedding toasts, funerals, and the like, as well as those in show business who must be relaxed and confident enough to focus on their performance.

Straight forward physical explanations for how you feel will get rid of unwanted emotional reactions. Try to think of or remember any effects that anxiety has on your body and think of the reasons for them.When you have finished your speech, enjoy the applause. Remember that applause and use it to counteract any negative thoughts you may have later. If, during the days after the speech you start to worry about it not being right or something, bring back the memory of your audience clapping appreciatively.Activities that can help to dispel anxiety include the following:Breathe in slowly and deeply, hold your breath for the count of 5 and then breathe out slowly. Repeat for up to 40 breaths.Go for a brisk walk, or do some other physical activity.Always give your speech or talk some serious thought and prepare well before hand. Your speech making will only get better!

The Secret Law Of Attraction And You

By Brenda J. Morris

The Law of Attraction is such a powerful law, yet I find that most people aren't taking full advantage of it. Just like the law of gravity, when you drop something you know it will fall, the same goes for Law of Attraction. What you focus on expands - like attracts like. For example if you're focusing on how much you want more money and feeling how good it will feel to get it, you are attracting it to happen. However, the same goes for the opposite.

I have learned that there will be times where there will be a problem to solve among a group and people look to you for the answer because you have displayed leadership. Even though you might have no idea what the answer is, you will not show expressions that come off as "I can't do it." Sometimes you have to get uncomfortable to get comfortable and be put in a situation where people depend on your voice. you will that as a leader that in order to lead, you have to listen. A leader is not a single person giving orders. A leader makes the decision based on the groups' thoughts. A leader has to the catalyst; the person knows when to start the fire, but also to put it out.

It is important to be focused and effective. It is imperative that kids understand the meaning behind your philosophy. The type of environment we live is where the teacher, coach, or facilitator has to accurate in every lesson in order to achieve the goals set out for the group. Understand that everyone moves at different speeds and comfort levels. It is your job as the teacher to analysis the make-up of each student and develops the characteristics into a better individual.

Many of my clients are so happy to discover a greater awareness of their thoughts so that they can attract more of what they want, and less of what they don't want. It may sound simple to put this into action, and don't get me wrong, it can be, but it's very easy to slip back into old ways of thinking that you're used to.

For example, if you want to attract a relationship with the man or woman of your dreams, but you're constantly thinking about how lonely you are, or how no one is interested in you, then that's exactly what you're going to keep attracting. However, if you can become aware enough to think thoughts like "I am in the process of meeting my true love" or "I am attracting the perfect mate into my life", then you're going to attract that.

This is how the Law of Attraction works, remember everything is energy or "vibes" and has a frequency so the vibes you're transmitting are drawing the same vibes back to you. Similar to the example above except the energy that the universe is comprised of is responding to the energy you're radiating.Give off negative vibes and the universe will respond with equal negative vibes, give off positive vibes and the universe will respond with equal positive vibes.Remember these vibes are mostly transmitted and received on a subconscious level, the human mind truly is a remarkable tool with infinite potential once unleashed, where-ever the mind travels the body will surely follow.

The Law of Attraction is operating 24/7, so why not use it to your advantage so that you can attract more of what you want in your life?

Interviews With Successful People - Raphael Yadgaroff - Krav Maga Instructor

By David A. Gonzalez

Krav Maga mainly focuses on self-defence. It was designed in such a way so that the teaching part can be done quickly, and both trainers and trainees do not have to invest a lot amount of time. This is still used by Israeli forces. This technique makes one efficient in self defense skills which is based on natural movements of the body and can be used in everyday's life, and it helps to deal with attack in the fastest and effective manner. This technique got its origin from street-fighting skills and with time it got refined for civilian, police and military applications.

[Krav Maga Classes]

These Training classes run only for a few months, and can be practiced by both adults and children. The only prerequisite to join the classes is to have passion towards this martial art form. People from all walks of the society are aware of the benefits of these training classes. The growing number of crimes in the society and the insecurity surrounding the common lives are the factors that drive people towards it's training classes. Earlier, it's training classes were restricted to the minority of the population that were keen to be employed in armed forces or police departments, but today, this martial arts form has become an essential skill to be acquired by anybody for self defense.

The main motive is to make the practitioner expert enough to make the moves perform without hesitation and thinking. Every practitioner is made to perform under real world combat conditions. It involves wrestling, grappling and striking techniques. The major techniques of Krav Maga include punches, basic kicks, strikes using knees and elbows. In this simple moves are easy to stop moves of the attacker and intellectual striking methods can be used in real situations. This technique is widely used by women, as age, height, weight of an individual is not at all the problem, and moreover it provides fitness, weight loss and empowerment. This is used to blow the sensitive parts of the attackers. Some of the training techniques include practicing with different weapons like Hand guns, M-16, paint ball gun, knives, sticks etc. Some institutions provide this training to escape from attacks of militants and suicide bombers. This art mainly teaches to think creatively and act wisely.

Learning it will not only teach you how to fight, but also teach you how to finish your attacker as soon as possible, this ensures your safety when you fight the more chances of the other to get hurt.The best instructor is the one who has gained the knowledge and skills to prepare his students face any tough combats in their lives. Krav-Maga, translated as "close combat" is a combination of martial arts and street fights practiced in ancient Israel.It also teaches counter attacks as well as the use of weapons such as knives, guns and rods. A professionally trained instructor will be able to teach these disciplines to his/her students so that they become equipped with the right skills to face any tough situation in their lives.

You Have Competed In Cage Fights And Grappling Competitions, How Did This Come About?The chances are that if you name a martial art, I have done it. I have studied Karate, Brazillian Jui Jitsu (BJJ), Nin Jitsu, Krav Maga, Muay Tai, a different style of Krav Maga, Shoalin Kung Fu, Boxing, Kick Boxing, S.P.E.A.R system and other reality based systems, I think there are a couple more in there, but I can't remember them off the top of my head.I have always found that MMA, linked with Krav Maga, works very, very well, especially because, at the end of the day, MMA is still very all around. It's stand up grappling and groundwork. With Krav Maga and its movements and ideas, they together make a very effective system. That's why I keep doing it, the cage fights, the grappling competitions and the training.

Tell Us About How You Feel Before A Competition? Good, I feel very... my heart races up! Weak, but strong at the same time... After all the Krav Maga I have done, I have trained myself to get into a very different mindset to what I have normally when I walk about my life. If I become threatened, it's like a switch that goes off: I go into, like, a kill mode. That's what I try and teach my students, how I feel when I get into a cage fight. I don't think, "I am going to have a competition here". I think, "I need to kill the guy in front of me. I need to finish him".How Do You Feel After A Competition? It depends if I win or lose. I haven't lost yet, so I don't know about that. I usually feel pretty good afterwards, pretty happy. Then again, sometimes I want to get back in and finish him because he is still walking. This, in my eyes, as a result of Krav Maga mentality, doesn't seem right. He shouldn't be able to get up.

Make sure that you need to learn the skills to both neutralize the opponent while also preparing themselves to fight fiercely. This training is highly useful for people aspiring to become security personnel or body guards.it is a self defense system developed and used by the Israeli elite military unit. This martial art covers striking, wrestling and grappling techniques.

Where Does Your Drive And Passion Come From? My drive is the idea that it is something that I am good at and also that any day and at any moment, I could be fighting for my life. I don't want to be caught off guard. I am not ready to die. I love my life.Do You Believe In A Higher Power?No, not really. That is a very different question. I don't believe in a god, but the idea that something could be out there. yeah, fine, but I am not religious.Where Does Your Inspiration Come From?It's just from myself. I have always wanted to do it for me. I never wanted to do anything in my life related to my martial arts just to prove something to someone else or for someone else; I will only do it if I want to. Because I am a driven and motivated person, I have always achieved my goals. I said I would have a cage fight, and I have had one. Now I am training for another one. I will do it because I want to. People don't force me to do things that I don't want to because it is not a good mentality through which to live your life.

Imi relocated to Israel in the 1940s and began to teach his combat system. Imi's method was then adopted by the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) as its official hand-to-hand combat style.Over the decades, it has been refined greatly not only for the military and the police but for civilians as well.With the growing number of street crimes, more and more people are turning to learn it as a tool for self defense.The Israeli self defense system is suitable for street crime situations. Its core principle is to finish a fight as soon as possible. Due to this, all attacks under this system are directly aimed on the most vulnerable body parts, such as the neck, groin, knee, armpits and joints.

Students who learn the system will also be taught on how to respond on any attack using quick combinations of counter attacks.In addition, students will also learn to maintain their awareness of their surroundings and environment to identify potential threats.Basic Krav Maga training includes a warm up session and a session to identify critical pressure points on a human body. Identifying these points is crucial because they are going to be the target for attack if you want to neutralize your opponent quickly.

Using The Law Of Success To Succeed In School

By Dillen Mulders

School is definitely one of the very first places where you get to experience how the law of success works. After all, in order to succeed in school, you really do have to take certain actions and maintain a certain attitude. For those who are still in school or are planning to go back, here then are some tips on using the success law to your advantage:Succeed in School through Studying.Yes, this sounds absolutely silly judging by how obvious it is, but it really does bear repeating: if you want to make it to the top of your class, you have to study AND study hard. The law of success truly rewards good old fashioned hard work and discipline, so don't try to skirt those nights when you really need to hit the books. And remember that studying isn't just about reading and memorizing. It's about understanding what you've been reading and memorizing. Exercise your brain as you read and you'll be able to recall essential details for class and exams much easier.

[The Law Of Attraction]

Succeed in School through Teamwork.Whoever said that the law of success couldn't be a collaborative effort is downright wrong. You can most definitely harness the powers of this law as a group as well, and that can bode well for students, since a lot of school work involves doing things as a group, from laboratory experiments to research papers. If you don't see yourself as a team player, then you had better start learning to be more open and sociable. While it is good to have an independent stance, shunning yourself from the talents of others is just too huge of a waste. Your peers may know more about a topic than you do, so why shut them out?

"Fear exhausts life energy." To overcome fear and every other obstacle with courage and faith, keep your consciousness on God. Meditate, pray, focus. These are the means to reinforce the habits of success. If you fail, redouble your efforts. Analyze what went wrong, but always try once more. Never quit. Transfer your attention from failure to success and you will grow.See the image and likeness of God in all people. When you intend to condemn or criticize others turn inward and examine yourself. "Habits of thought control one's life." Form right habits as good habits nourish spiritual aspirations and set you free.Maintain a consciousness of abundance. All power lies with the divine will, all spiritual and material gifts flow from that boundless source. Eradicate thoughts of limitation and poverty.

Tending the Crops.While the crop is growing, the farmer needs to tend and protect the growing plants. The field needs to be watered, treated to prevent insect infestation, fenced to protect the young plants from animals who would feed on the crop. A person working towards success must also protect his crop. Positive associations are needed to continue the growth of the ideas plants. Negative people and negative ideas must be protected against. Learning about himself and his endeavors (books, classes, further reading) can fertilize the ideas, making them grow stronger and faster. Persistence is needed to weather the storms of depression and impatience which can threaten the crop of success.

Succeed in School through Class Elections.Class elections are an awesome way for you to practice the law of success in all its aspects. After all, it isn't just enough to be smart and hardworking when you want to win the vote of the majority. You also have to be likeable. You have to prove that people can most definitely trust you. If you are able to bring out the best in yourself and succeed in getting these people to root for you, then suffice it to say that you will have cemented your position as a bona fide success in school. Everyone loves and trusts the class president, so why can't he be you?

The Most Subtle of the Laws.There are several laws of success, but the Law of the Farm is perhaps the most subtle. Just as a farmer gets better at raising crops as the years go by, so too a person gets better at using this law as he works it. Of all the laws, this one gets better the more you use it.Have you ever heard of The Secret and The Law Of Attraction? Most likely your answer would be Yes.

However, do you know that there are 10 other Laws which have to operate together harmoniously for the Law of Attraction to function at its optimum? All these Laws are introduced by Bob Proctor and Mary Morrissey in a comprehensive Program called the 11 Forgotten Laws.This article gives an overview of the tenth and eleventh Laws from the 11 Forgotten Laws, The Law of Obedience and The Law of Success, explaining what is it and what else will you get when you invest in Bob Proctor's 11 Forgotten Laws Program.

This powerful interaction between words and mind is lost when you type them into the computer or the latest iPhone. A good typist can type sentences without having to look at the keyboard. It is next to impossible to write on a pad without actually reading the words. It is the natural cause and effect of writing; you have to look at what you are writing. It is one of the few things in life that we can't do without active thinking. There are certain things that we perform without thinking, especially when we are on autopilot. When is the last time you got home from work and had no clue which route you took to get there. When we get into our car, it is like the car has a mind of its own. It is imperative that a book and pen is used to record and review your goals and dreams.

Your goals and dreams must be personal to you. I remember when I was in college I always wanted to own a home at the age of twenty seven years old. I did not achieve it till I was thirty years old; I was brutal on myself for those three years of not achieving my goal. I did more damage to the success of that goal in the way. I was unforgiving to myself in not reaching it earlier. You have a better chance of reaching your goals and dreams when your mind is right. When you are writing your goals and you feel good about them, then you are more likely to achieve them. If you don't have a good feeling as you write them, then you should review them and change them. The more your mind accepts your goals and dreams the better chance that you to achieve them.The daily regimen of reading your goals is the final ingredient in allowing your definite chief aim to saturate your subconscious mind. This acceptance of your chief aim by the subconscious mind will dominate your activities in your life. Napoleon Hill equates this level of achievement very similar to auto-suggestion. Napoleon Hill as it is written in "Think and Grow Rich" believes that "so as a man thinketh so is he".

How To Quit Porn In 4 Easy Steps

By Marinthe Sijstermans

In this article I'm going to talk to you about how to quit porn.Some men don't ever watch porn.Most men have a relatively healthy relationship with porn, watching it every now and then but certainly not becoming obsessed with it and always preferring the 'real thing'.THE REAL THING being -- sex with a woman.However, there are some men (and since you're reading, this is probably you) who become a little too fond of porn and end up watching it every day, often more than once.[

[Sex Addiction Counseling]

]

Porn addiction wasn't such a big problem until the internet came to place and skyrocketed pornography exposure and its accessibility. Now with over millions of websites available at your finger tips, it is becoming much easier to browse porn and for some, it's becoming a growing concern and more people are looking for ways to quit this addiction.For most, it start at an early age. 11 years old is usually the age for the average male being exposed for the first time to pornography. This rapidly becomes a habit for many and some don't feel the need to quit. As it starts to become more and more of a routine thing, they grow tired of the usual soft/mild porn and start to look into more explicit material.

As a result, this habit becomes an addiction and unfortunately, leaving it just became a big problem for many as they simply feel overwhelmed by the desire to feed their sexual needs with pornography hence the reason some are starting to look into ways to quit porn addiction.One needs to quit this unhealthy addiction because the negative effects are quite surprising. It can desensitize someone and give them a wrong perspective of how things really are. Someone who has a porn addiction can start to view people as sexual objects rather and human beings. This can lead to serious psychological problems and can also lower that person's self-esteem. They will find themselves using pornography every time instead of trying to get to know a person they might be interested in. It can also lead to the use of prostitutes, going out to strip clubs, doing one night stands and can also lead to break ups and divorces in couples.

Is it even possible to quit porn addiction? Yes, it most certainly is. Many sufferers have quit their porn addiction and never looked back. The successful stories of leaving this twisted sexual behavior behind, usually comes from people who have sought help to understand what the root of the problem was. They have learned how to replace the brain circuits responsible for their sexual dependence with new ones and succeeded in quitting their porn addiction forever.Since the internet has become more and more available, pornography is also something that increased in exposure. It is starting to become more problematic for many people and a lot of them are trying to find a way how to quit porn. There are a lot of valid reasons why one would want to.

Most people think when trying to quit porn that resisting will get you through. The reality is that you'll never make it really far by resisting against your urges and its only a matter of time before you'll crack and relapse. Even if you manage to resist for a decent amount of time, you must understand there are days that are much tougher than others and we will all eventually go through those days. That being said, you should look for a replacement instead.Confront And Replace.Another tip on how to quit pornography is to confront your urges and replace it. Instead of trying to avoid and resist, you need to acknowledge the fact that it's there and you need to treat it. The fact that you get a sudden urge is because your brain is in need of something to make you feel better. This is mostly due to triggers (which we will cover this later). Instead of resisting, find something to do that can replace your porn addiction.

These powerful natural drugs are what give an individual and very strong desire and drive for sexual activities. As much as they can have a very positive effect on a couple, it can also lead to a strong addiction to pornography. To the brain, both are the same.The Harmful Effects Of Pornography.Now if you seriously want to learn how to quit porn, chances are, you are probably feeling all the negative effects of it. Most people who are dependent of it start to have side-effects such as starting to have a very strong porn addiction, desensitization, sexual mis-education since it portrays the wrong view of what sex really is and they getting used to very hardcore, violent sexual acts. All of these leads to acts such as masturbation.

Most of what use to look very disturbing and violent becomes more and more accepted since it starts to satisfy their sexual needs. Also, since this is also affecting people who are in couples, it can have a very bad effect on them which can lead to break ups and divorces.Porn addiction cannot be defeated only by willpower. Just like other addictions, it needs to be treated. There are some very good guides and courses on how to quit porn. However, most people do not want to join these courses locally simply because they are ashamed and rather stay anonymous.The best way to learn how to quit porn is by looking at a good guide available here online. There are many good ones such as this guide. You can stay completely anonymous without anyone knowing about your addiction to pornography and you can finish this once and for all. Don't wait until it's too late, act now.

In years gone by, things weren't as easy. You'd have to sneak out to the news stand and buy a top shelf magazine. Now, chances are whatever your tastes, it's available for free at the click of a mouse.OK, the first trigger is probably something you're unlikely to be able to quit whilst you're still breathing - we naturally think about sex a lot. At least partly to keep our species going.But there are probably other triggers that cause you to switch to a new tab on your browser - or even a different browser that you just use for porn, so that others don't see your guilty browsing secrets - and have a "quick look". Which turns into a not so quick look and before you know it, way too much time has passed.

So work out what the various triggers are that cause you to go to sites that ask you to confirm that you're over 18 and start working on doing something else when the triggers try to kick in.You won't necessarily succeed every time but so long as you can gradually reduce your cravings to view naked people engaging with each other in ways even the Kama Sutra hadn't envisaged then you're on the right track.Find something else to occupy yourself.Ideally, something away from a computer screen. That would definitely be the ideal solution. But I know we're in the real world and computers - or phones with a computer connection - are never very far away, even in the remotest areas.

Step two: Think back to when you started, and the reasons behind it, simple titillation maybe? Sure that can certainly be a reason but was there anything more? A frustration or a problem? Think back to when you started to be addicted but may not have know it, think back to when it started becoming a problem, the reasons were probably much different but linked none the less. As much as men are ruled by their hormones if you put aside simple horniness there is a deeper issue if you cannot overcome your base instincts when they cause damage to your life.How to stop porn addiction lies with and understanding and acceptance of the reasons you started watching so much porn not where you are right now and requires a great deal of introspection and insight into your own soul and motives. Low self esteem is one of the most common aspects of porn addiction but the reasons surrounding this problem vary greatly from person to person so a personalized approach to a cure is needed.Did you find this article helpful? Are you or is someone you love addicted to porn? Are you unsure about how to go about solving this problem?

How To Get Better Grades - Motivate Me To Study

By Lachlan Haynes

Lack of motivation is the most common reason that things don't get done. If you've ever lacked the motivation to do something you know the feeling I'm talking about. The loss of interest, the tiredness, the boredom - it's all related to the feeling that you have "no motivation". But worse still is the feeling that you also don't know what to do about it. But there's no need to fret, it happens to everyone at some point!

Whilst a lack of motivation may not be your biggest challenge personally, it is one of the biggest challenges that students face as they try to find the strength of character to push through high school and College.

When you don't have the proper motivation to complete a task, the task can quickly become a painful and cumbersome chore - rather than a fairly straightforward process. Why?

Well, when you feel 'motivated', it's easy to stay focused over a long period of time and work diligently towards your goal. However, when you are not feeling 'motivated' you will have virtually zero focus and the chances you will even start the task are minuscule. Either that or it will require someone threatening you with something before you'll get started on your work (like a parent taking away your iPad or a teacher removing you from the class). That's not a great way to get motivated!

As a general rule, most people are operating on the base level of motivation - which is fear of negative consequences. What do I mean by this? Well, we act out of concern about what will happen if we don't act. For example, you may complete your homework because if you don't you will be grounded. You may strive to get an A on your Maths test because if you don't your average will drop which will impact your ability to get into University or College. It's not necessarily a "bad thing" but it's the way we are conditioned to behave.

If there were no consequence for not doing your homework, or not doing exercise, or not following the laws - what would happen? It would create chaos wouldn't it? Why would anyone do anything they didn't "feel like doing"?

Fear as a motivational tool is actually important. It creates order and maintains the norm. It allows a society to function properly. However, that doesn't mean it should be the reason you do whatever you do on a daily basis. You see, fear of consequences also leads to great resentment and suppression. So acting only out of fear is not the way to become truly motivated.

Whilst "existing" may work for you for a period of time (and for many people it works for their entire lives) it doesn't both work and lead to a positive approach to life. The motivation we seek to promote is one where you want to complete the tasks you do for positive reasons.

Real motivation is borne out of a possibility. A possibility of what may happen from taking a certain action. The possibility of what can be created. For example, when you ask a girl or guy you like for their phone number, you are living into a possibility. The possibility you may get to go out on a date with them! Sure, you may not succeed. You may get shut down. But so what? The power of living into a possibility drove you to take that action. If you act out of fear, you probably won't ask for the number or take any action and you'll just feel regret. Why? Because fear of negative consequences (like being embarrassed or laughed at) won the day. By living in fear you don't really live. By living in fear you don't feel the amazing power of real motivation.

The answer to finding motivation is actually simple. Whenever you are doing something and don't feel motivated simply ask yourself "What is the possibility here? What positive outcome is going to occur from this?" If you can't find a simple possibility (like I could learn something new, I could earn some money which I can spend on something important to me, I'm a step closer to something I really want to achieve) then you really aren't searching hard enough. There is a possibility in everything. Good luck.

The Law Of Attraction In Action

By Darwin van Panhuis

Some people are turned off by the whole "Law of Attraction," metaphysical, New Age thing and honestly, I can understand that. Personally, I love seeing the magic and wonder of life and enjoy seeing things as miraculous, but that's just me. So, when you see me referring to the Law of Attraction, what exactly am I talking about? Let's just break it down for a moment. Law of Attraction followers generally intend, visualize, focus, look for signs, act, think positively, manifest, and stay grateful. Sounds a little "different" with "intentions" and "manifestations." But to put that in other terms, you set goals, visualize (as an athlete does), watch for opportunities to reach those goals, act, have faith, and are thankful when it happens. Doesn't sound nearly as mystical, does it? Let me expand a bit step by step.

[The law of attraction book]

Imagine for a moment that you have a genie in a bottle, a secret potion or wand, that gives you the power to zap into manifestation more of what you wish for. The truth is, it doesn't take a genie in a bottle, a magic wand or a secret potion, although these are fun 'reminders' of the awesome power that we hold! We are Divine Beings!

The Bible says we are made "in the image of God" and that "what we sow we reap." This means we, like God, are creators! I've heard it said that God helps those who help themselves. We must learn how to help ourselves by co-creating, along with God, that which we desire by developing faith and applying focused thought. The best way to pray then is affirmatively, to visualize what we desire as if it is already in our experience, and to give thanks in advance, knowing that what we need and desire is available to us. To pray effectively, we pray affirmatively. A powerful prayer is one of gratitude. The more we count our blessings, the more blessings come to us. Our thoughts and prayers really do create our experiences!

The second step to deliberately attract success is to raise our vibration. We must always bear in mind that we do not get what we want but we get what we vibrate. We must therefore become a "vibrational match" to what we want in order to attract what we truly desire. One way to raise our vibration is to act as if we are already successful and start experiencing how we would be feeling if we had already achieved the success we wanted, how joyful we would feel and how happy and excited we would be as a result of achieving the success we desire. We can also use affirmations or use phrases like "I am very successful now." to raise our vibration to attract the success we desire in our life. We can also use visualization and see ourselves already experiencing the success we want.

The third step for deliberate attraction is to allow success to manifest in our life. Allowing is the absence of doubt and fear. If we have a strong desire to be successful but at the same time, we have strong doubts, we will never be able to attract what we want because we will be sending mixed signals in the universe. If, on the other hand, we have a strong desire and some doubts, we will attract success, but it will take a little longer. If we want to rapidly manifest success, we have to have a strong desire with no doubt at all.

The world is filled with evidence that supports our beliefs. In other words, optimists are confirmed in their optimism, and pessimists are confirmed in their habits of thought also. An optimist expects things to work out somehow, and because they give their attention to what they do want with expectancy, this is what manifests in their experience. The pessimist, on the other hand, generally also creates what they habitually worry about. When pessimists learn how to alter their expectations and beliefs, they too can more deliberately create what they are wanting in life.I truly believe that everything works towards our highest good, we just need to trust the Universal Laws working through us and use our experiences to expand our consciousness. Let's use the Law of Attraction to make the world a more joyful and loving place!

Two recent popular books promoting law of attraction are The Secret (2007) by Rhonda Byrne, and Esther and Jerry Hick's book Money and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Health, Wealth & Happiness (New York Times Best Seller list Aug 2008). The Secret reveals how you can change every aspect of your life. You can turn any weakness or suffering into strength, power, unlimited abundance, health and joy. The book Money, and the Law of Attraction: Learning to Attract Wealth, Health, and Happiness presents the teaching of the non-physical consciousness named Abraham. The book explains that the two subjects most chronically affected by the powerful law of attraction are financial and physical well-being. Both books offer very unique reasons to think positively and teach that we have the power to change our lives for the better.

We're All Made Up of the Same Energy.We're all taught in school that all matter, whether physical objects or living creatures, is made up of the same energy called atoms. The theory is that this same energy making up atoms is also a frequency created by our thoughts. Thoughts are magnetic energy and create a frequency similar to a radio or smart phone. As you go through your day thinking, your thoughts are sent out into the world and attract like things on the same frequency. Picture yourself as a human transmission tower emitting powerful waves of thoughts that are changing the dynamics of your life each and every day.

Karma also has reference to the law of attraction with their underlying belief that you'll eventually be revisited by that which you've sent out into the world.Everyone has heard the sayings "good karma" and "bad karma", this is where the sayings originate from, it was and still is their belief that if you are kind and compassionate you will be met with kindness and compassion and on the flip side if you have been unkind and shown little compassion then you'll equally be met with the same!

On the one hand, it's completely selfish to want more money so you can buy stuff for yourself and live an easy life. But on the other hand, and this is crucial, it's impossible to get that money unless you make people better off than they were before.So every single dollar that you have is a measure of how much better off you've made other people. The more money you have, the more people you've made better off. The more you've increased the net happiness of the world. Is that really selfish? Of course not.That's why Napoleon Hill, in "Think And Grow Rich," suggested that when doing any kind of money making visualizations, to visualize tons of people out there getting their needs met because of your actions. Because when lots of people out there are getting their needs met, you are getting paid.
