Summon Bursts of Energy by Training Your Subconscious Mind

By Charles Moorehead

Sometimes you don’t have the energy needed to start or resume an important task. However, you can train your subconscious mind to give you a burst of energy on demand. This may be all you need to get going on that special task. Once you start a task, it is human nature to continue working, at least for a few hours. After that, you may need another burst of energy.
This article shows how to use a simple exercise to train your subconscious mind. This exercise uses a visualization, a guided daydream. Your subconscious can’t tell the difference between reality, and impressions that are repetitive and highly emotional. You will repeat the visualization and infuse it with strong emotions.

Procedures
You need to write out and learn a scene that shows you receiving a burst of energy. Don’t be concerned if this scene seems somewhat silly. This is a mind game, so approach it as if you were a child playing a game. After all, your subconscious mind is childlike in many respects. However, properly trained, it can provide all the energy you need. After describing and learning a particular scene for this visualization, close your eyes and see it played out inside your mind. Let your emotions build while the scene unfolds.

Here is a possible scene:

You are alone on a vast plain. A warm summer sun caresses your face. There is no sound except for a soft breeze rustling the grass at your feet. Then you look up into the sky and raise your hands, asking the universe for the gift of unlimited energy. Soon the sky is filled with dark clouds and the sound of thunder! Just then, a bolt of lightning flashes down from the clouds and enters your body. You are filled with a fiery energy. Zap, zap — you can feel the electricity coursing through your body. Pop, pop — the energy is unbelievable! You feel alive like never before. Whatever you want to do is now in your power. You have the energy to overcome any obstacle. Your ambition is boundless. Nothing can stop you now!

You survey the scene around you and smile. The air is vibrant and alive with possibilities. Gazing up into the sky again, you give thanks for this gift. You seem to know, without being told, that this power is available whenever you need it.

Repeat this visualization three times a day for two weeks. Then use it once a day until the idea of having unlimited energy at your command starts feeling normal.

Testing and using this new power

Create a command you will use to summon the burst of energy. A good choice might be, “Energy Now!”
If you sometimes aren’t able to call forth the burst of energy, then go back and start doing the exercise again. Remember, this is a mind game. If you feel silly doing this, just think of how you will feel after you have successfully trained your subconscious mind.
Test this new power on some of those small, distasteful tasks around the home or office. Use your command to summon the burst of energy. Then immediately start working on the task. Act in a deliberate, forceful manner. After completing the task, allow yourself to feel the pleasure of being able to call forth the energy needed to get the job done.
Continue this procedure with more difficult tasks. Gradually, using this burst of energy will become a habit. Then you can take on those tough jobs knowing you will have the energy to complete them.

Precaution
If you are ill or have some kind of physical handicap, take care of that problem first. Once you are in good health, you can begin using the above exercise.

Final thoughts

Being able to summon energy on demand can be a big help in getting the tough jobs done. However, you must always use caution and common sense. If a task is dangerous or risky, maybe you shouldn’t be trying to do it in the first place. Also, don’t overwork yourself. Sure, you may have lots of energy, but you’re not Hercules. Don’t try to do more than you are physically able to do. For more details on this topic go to the Summon Bursts of Energy page on my website.

Building Health Wealth
by John C. Bish

I have lived my life as evidence of a life style which creates and sustains real personal vitality. In my new book “Building Health Wealth” I strongly urge you … Don’t wait: get started. That means get started building a“401K” plan for your health. And when you build it, it can not be corrupted by any one or any thing except your own indifference.

We build our health wealth in small increments .including rest, hygiene, diet, food supplements and exercise.

HEALTH IS A CHOICE NOT A CHANCE .

Building Health Wealth was written from the point of View as a Consumer health-care advocate and is directed primarily to adults who wish to improve their physical and mental vitality and thereby the quality of their lives. Once you adopt the first two or three habits suggested by you may very well become hooked on the notion that you have enormous influence over the quality of your health or in more simple terms “on
how you feel each and every day.” You may even become addicted to a routine which leads you to a renewed sense of personal and emotional vitality. In addition you become aware of how you got there and perhaps most important what you need to do to stay there.

I personally rebuilt my own health after age fifty to a point where my personal fitness is more akin to the robust condition of a healthy adult “athlete” two decades my junior. I outlines 10 specific things you can do each day which will have an immediate impact on how you feel and ultimately how you look.

The book shows you how important it is to take personal control over your health. Including how and from whom to seek health care advice. All advisors must be credible. They must look and act the part. They must exhibit living evidence of the healthy life style”. I make a compelling case that It is never too late to adopt some key habits which individually will make a difference and collectively, can have and explosive positive impact on one’s sense of well being.

I’ll show you how we might avoid many chronic and debilitating conditions currently affecting upwards of 60% of the adult population of the US. These include obesity, arguably an appalling condition of many (notice those around you at the supermarket or the airport when you have time to observe). Others include osteoporosis (mostly joint disease) Type 2 diabetes, heart and vascular disease and many kinds of Cancer. All of these are arguably the direct the result of our life style choices rather than the inevitable result of ageing or genetic predisposition. So engage yourself. Man up… Woman Up! Take responsibility. Make it happen. You will succeed!

The Importance of Understanding Personality Styles

Written by Stu Schlackman

Emotional Intelligence is the number one skill needed today in business. This is something that is not taught in school but it’s learned through life’s experiences.

There is a key personal and business skill not formally taught today in schools. Yet it should be. Everyone needs training to improve their emotional intelligence. While there are no scholastic aptitude tests or board examinations for emotional intelligence, experts agree it is every bit as important as academic intelligence. Many would argue it is more important to achieving success in life. But this does not say that you cannot be taught to greatly increase your emotional intelligence; in fact, emotional intelligence can be taught.

Emotional intelligence starts with knowing yourself. It then continues with knowing others. And a principle tool is learning how to classify people into groups with similar desires, skills, interests, and how they behave under different circumstances. We use a tool called the Insight Temperament SystemTM. While there are other systems that classify people by temperament and behavior, Insight invented a deceptively simple system that can be used as a part of everyday life. I have been using this system with great effect in my life. I’ve taught this system and my students’ remark on how it has improved theirs. Now I can extend this experience to you through our new book, Four People You Should Know: Profiting from Personality Perspectives.

Four People You Should Know will introduce you to the Insight Temperament System and allow you to determine your own personality color. You will find resonance with the characteristics of your personality color group, and because we live in a social world, discover the other three personality colors. Learn how to listen to the people you meet and observe their behavior and surroundings, so that you can determine their personality color. With this, you can understand what they might do and why they do it. Priorities, motives and expectations fall in line. In “Four people” we explain the use of Nathan’s system to improve two key professional skills, team building and sales. You will learn how to balance teams and improve communications. You will understand what motivates your clients and how to effectively communicate what they truly value.

One central thing we have learned, when it comes to building & leading great teams and being successful in selling, it all boils down to “relationships.” All relationships must start right and be properly nurtured. Understanding the four personality styles enhances existing relationships and helps build new relationships. Strong relationships will turn your clients into your advocates.

The Courage to Live Consciously

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable .

- Helen Keller

In our day-to-day lives, the virtue of courage doesn’t receive much attention. Courage is a quality reserved for soldiers, firefighters, and activists. Security is what matters most today. Perhaps you were taught to avoid being too bold or too brave. It’s too dangerous. Don’t take unnecessary risks. Don’t draw attention to yourself in public. Follow family traditions. Don’t talk to strangers. Keep an eye out for suspicious people. Stay safe.

But a side effect of overemphasizing the importance of personal security in your life is that it can cause you to live reactively. Instead of setting your own goals, making plans to achieve them, and going after them with gusto, you play it safe. Keep working at the stable job, even though it doesn’t fulfill you. Remain in the unsatisfying relationship, even though you feel dead inside compared to the passion you once had. Who are you to think that you can buck the system? Accept your lot in life, and make the best of it. Go with the flow, and don’t rock the boat. Your only hope is that the currents of life will pull you in a favorable direction.

No doubt there exist real dangers in life you must avoid. But there’s a huge gulf between recklessness and courage. I’m not referring to the heroic courage required to risk your life to save someone from a burning building. By courage I mean the ability to face down those imaginary fears and reclaim the far more powerful life that you’ve denied yourself. Fear of failure. Fear of rejection. Fear of going broke. Fear of being alone. Fear of humiliation. Fear of public speaking. Fear of being ostracized by family and friends. Fear of physical discomfort. Fear of regret. Fear of success.

How many of these fears are holding you back? How would you live if you had no fear at all? You’d still have your intelligence and common sense to safely navigate around any real dangers, but without feeling the emotion of fear, would you be more willing to take risks, especially when the worst case wouldn’t actually hurt you at all? Would you speak up more often, talk to more strangers, ask for more sales, dive headlong into those ambitious projects you’ve been dreaming about? What if you even learned to enjoy the things you currently fear? What kind of difference would that make in your life?

Have you previously convinced yourself that you aren’t really afraid of anything… that there are always good and logical reasons why you don’t do certain things? It would be rude to introduce yourself to a stranger. You shouldn’t attempt public speaking because you don’t have anything to say. Asking for a raise would be improper because you’re supposed to wait until the next formal review. They’re just rationalizations though – think about how your life would change if you could confidently and courageously do these things with no fear at all.

What Is Courage?

Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear. - Ambrose Redmoon

Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear – not absence of fear. - Mark Twain

Courage is being scared to death, but saddling up anyway. - John Wayne

I like the definitions of courage above, which all suggest that courage is the ability to get yourself to take action in spite of fear. The word courage derives from the Latin cor, which means “heart.” But true courage is more a matter of intellect than of feeling. It requires using the uniquely human part of your brain (the neocortex) to wrest control away from the emotional limbic brain you share in common with other mammals. Your limbic brain signals danger, but your neocortex reasons that the danger isn’t real, so you simply feel the fear and take action anyway. The more you learn to act in spite of fear, the more human you become. The more you follow the fear, the more you live like a lower mammal. So the question, “Are you a man or a mouse?” is consistent with human neurology.

Courageous people are still afraid, but they don’t let the fear paralyze them. People who lack courage will give into fear more often than not, which actually has the long-term effect of strengthening the fear. When you avoid facing a fear and then feel relieved that you escaped it, this acts as a psychological reward that reinforces the mouse-like avoidance behavior, making you even more likely to avoid facing the fear in the future. So the more you avoid asking someone out on a date, the more paralyzed you’ll feel about taking such actions in the future. You are literally conditioning yourself to become more timid and mouse-like.

Such avoidance behavior causes stagnation in the long run. As you get older, you reinforce your fear reactions to the point where it’s hard to even imagine yourself standing up to your fears. You begin taking your fears for granted; they become real to you. You cocoon yourself into a life that insulates you from all these fears: a stable but unhappy marriage, a job that doesn’t require you to take risks, an income that keeps you comfortable. Then you rationalize your behavior: You have a family to support and can’t take risks, you’re too old to shift careers, you can’t lose weight because you have “fat” genes. Five years… ten years… twenty years pass, and you realize that your life hasn’t changed all that much. You’ve settled down. All that’s really left now is to live out the remainder of your years as contently as possible and then settle yourself into the ground, where you’ll finally achieve total safety and security.

But there’s something else going on behind the scenes, isn’t there? That tiny voice in the back of your mind recalls that this isn’t the kind of life you wanted to live. It wants more, much more. It wants you to become far wealthier, to have an outstanding relationship, to get your body in peak physical condition, to learn new skills, to travel the world, to have lots of wonderful friends, to help people in need, to make a meaningful difference. That voice tells you that settling into a job where you sell widgets the rest of your life just won’t cut it. That voice frowns at you when you catch a glance of your oversized belly in the mirror or get winded going up a flight of stairs. It beams disappointment when it sees what’s become of your family. It tells you that the reason you have trouble motivating yourself is that you aren’t doing what you really ought to be doing with your life… because you’re afraid. And if you refuse to listen, it will always be there, nagging you about your mediocre results until you die, full of regrets for what might have been.

So how do you respond to this ornery voice that won’t shut up? What do you do when confronted by that gut feeling that something just isn’t right in your life? What’s your favorite way to silence it? Maybe drown it out by watching TV, listening to the radio, working long hours at an unfulfilling job, or consuming alcohol and caffeine and sugar.

But whenever you do this, you lower your level of consciousness. You sink closer towards an instinctive animal and move away from becoming a fully conscious human being. You react to life instead of proactively going after your goals. You fall into a state of learned helplessness, where you begin to believe that your goals are no longer possible or practical for you. You become more and more like a mouse, even trying to convince yourself that life as a mouse might not be so bad after all, since everyone around you seems to be OK with it. You surround yourself with your fellow mice, and on the rare occasions that you encounter a fully conscious human being, it scares the hell out of you to remember how much of your own courage has been lost.

Understand The Power Of Positive Thinking

By: David Bennett

It has been established that the person who would largely effect your achievement is your own self. Your way of behaving determines how you would feel about in addition to reply to challenges or problems. Consequently, it is extremely critical that you possess a positive standpoint when dealing with things. This is a means to make sure that you control the reigns over every aspect of your life. Know Your Thoughts Essentially, you would tell if you are a positive thinker by taking note of the words that you use when you are asked to describe the things that are going on in your life.

What would you use to describe your profession or your marriage? The expressions that you use will demonstrate how you tend to think – whether you observe the glass half full or half empty, in a manner of speaking. It has been said that the secret to happiness is how you observe things. If you look at the glass as half full, you’d constantly have the gift of hope, assurance and happiness.This is very important particularly because you’d always be dealing with crisis, challenges and difficulties. By having the facility to look at things positively, you would be able to center on solutions sooner than on problems. This, in turn, will help you face life’s challenges with more simplicity. Do not view life’s difficulties as troubles, but rather as mere challenges that you can overcome and, in the course of action, make certain that you do not lose view of your goals.

Acquire Power by way of Positive Thoughts Your odds of success are influenced by how you look at things and how you perceive life. The way you think – positive or negative – is especially powerful. Do you know that there’s scientific support that says negative thinkers are much more likely to get physically ill than positive thinkers? If your approach is powerful enough to make you ill, without doubt it is powerful enough to color your chances of success? While you think positively about the things in your life, you are empowered to do something. Negativity generally paralyzes your faculties of thought and action. When you believe that problems cannot derail you and if you believe that success can be yours, then you will obtain the ability to see your plans through and to attain your goals.

You won’t be paralyzed by indecision, worries and sadness. Instead, you will be full with vigor and you’ll be raring for action. Your positive attitude should also assign you social influence. If you are a person who remains unfazed even in the face of adversities, you’re a person people would choose to be with and talk to. You’re a person other people are likely to follow. Do You Have Positive Power? So, how do you respond to life’s adversities? Do you consider yourself as a positive person or not? How do you respond to things when they are not going well? Do you recognize that it is to be expected that you’d encounter problems along the way or do you allow these problems to get the best of you? Talk to yourself sometimes. Look at yourself in the mirror and talk yourself into being optimistic. Make an effort to increase your own self confidence and strengthen your self esteem. Discover how to be constructive and positive when dealing with things. You would ultimately notice that things appear to work out the way you desire them to. You gain control of your emotions and actions and these actions would lead to positive results.

The Upside of Anger

VISION

July 27, 2009

None of us is a stranger to anger. And while we may regret our anger at times, it can certainly be a warning that something is not right with our world. It can also be a useful power to right those wrongs if properly directed and controlled. Used appropriately and then dismissed, anger is healthy. But if allowed to control us and have its way, it can also damage us and those around us.

Throughout history anger and angry people have caused so much pain that today many believe that all anger is a mental defect to be rejected and avoided. Simply saying to someone, “You’re angry!” is often used as a trump to end the discussion and win the argument—as if being angry is the ultimate evil in and of itself, and therefore overrides any subject being discussed.

And yet anger at genuine wrongs has led to much change for good. Repressions have been overturned as the result of “righteous anger.” Peoples have been freed, illegitimate regimes overthrown, women and children protected, and the situations of countless members of the human race improved.

_____________________________________________________________________

But as we know, much of the world’s misery can be traced to the unjust and unhealthy anger of individuals or groups—despots, megalomaniacs, politicians, false messiahs, competing religions and warring peoples on the macro scale; and the power-hungry, the dissatisfied, the controlling, the offended, the slighted and the ignored on the micro level.

We get the English word “berserk” from Norse raiders who were called berserkers in the Old Norse tongue, after their habit of losing their minds to murderous anger and blood lust.

Even in modern, and supposedly enlightened, times we have and do see horrific examples of leaders, peoples, cultures and religions promulgating unbridled anger to sacrifice hundreds of millions of individuals to their lusts for power: a force wielded against anyone who would stand in their way.

But, you and I don’t have any such power or inclination. So why talk about something that doesn’t affect us?

Since uncontrolled and unhealthy anger does cause terrible grief, it is important to understand how to express it properly and to take charge of our own anger so that we can use it as a catalyst for positive change.

It is easy to recognize extreme blood-in-the-eye rage when it shows itself in others, and perhaps we’ve even seen it in ourselves. But psychotherapists Ronald T. and Patricia S. Potter-Efron in Letting go of Anger (2006) list 11 common anger styles—some of them masked, some explosive, and some chronic. Some styles of anger are able to hide, even from the person exhibiting them. Some people claim that they never get angry, and indeed try not to do so. Others hide a sneaky, passive-aggressive anger by procrastination, forgetting or playing dumb or helpless. Some turn their anger inward and follow patterns that the Potter-Efrons describe as: self-neglect, self-sabotage, self-blame, self-attack, or self-destruction.

Men and women may express anger differently. In Western society women have been stereotyped historically as the nurturing sex and may therefore be discouraged from showing their anger, but both sexes have issues with this emotion. Although most books on anger management are written to men, Laura Petracek writes to women and says, “Most women in our society are either not in touch with their anger or feel their anger but don’t know how to express it.” Petracek describes two styles of anger she sees in women: Anger In, in which “women direct their anger at themselves by overeating, becoming depressed, and hurting themselves;” and Anger Out, “venting your rage at another person, or attacking or blaming another person, possibly to the point of pushing, shoving, or kicking that person.”

All of us have the potential for anger as part of our humanity. Ignoring or denying anger prevents us from using it appropriately and allows it to cause us hurt.

____________________________________________________________

APPROPRIATE ANGER—FOLLOWED BY RELEASE

Jesus of Nazareth is recorded as expressing anger toward the evil that exists on earth—so anger is not un-Christ-like. But the Sermon on the Mount warns against being angry without a cause. And at the end of His life, Jesus forgave His enemies—revealing a critical element for anger management and mental health (see “The Many Faces of Forgiveness”).

Other often overlooked passages give further insight into how to deal with anger appropriately. “You must not hate your fellow citizen in your heart. If your neighbor does something wrong, tell him about it, or you will be partly to blame” (Leviticus 19:17, New Century Version). So the idea is to face facts and deal with wrongs rather than let them cause resentment and depression or give the false impression of approval.

In another place the advice is, “When you are angry, do not sin, and be sure to stop being angry before the end of the day. Do not give the devil a way to defeat you” (Ephesians 4:26, 27, New Century Version). This adds that harboring anger and the attendant resentment can lead to severe personal problems.

The healthy way to preserve peace of mind is to deal with issues as they crop up, and then let them go and forgive what is past.

When our anger is triggered, we have decisions to make. Is this issue serious or just an aggravation? Was the offending action intentional or merely absentminded? Is it really worth getting angry about? King Solomon, whom the Bible calls the wisest man who ever lived, wrote “Good sense makes one slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook an offense” (Proverbs 19:11, English Standard Version).

Anger used correctly is a powerful tool to right wrongs and relieve oppression. Uncontrolled anger, however, is terribly destructive. Taking control of this trait with skill and character is a valuable lifelong pursuit.
