Mind Mapping Info

Oftentimes, when you have a project, you can't avoid having questions in your mind. Most individuals are like that and so they try to come up with solutions or alternatives to answer those  questions. Are you one of them? If you are, then you will benefit a lot from this mind mapping info.

When you're doing something which involves high stakes, it's natural for you to draw some kind of diagram so that you can visualize the obstacles ahead while seeing your ultimate goal at the end.

The diagrams you drew may be very simple lines or complex models but whatever it looks like, it can be considered as mind maps. Through the diagrams, one can easily make good decisions or better yet, make complicated decisions easier. Another important thing is, the diagrams can be an effective system or way for better and effective communication.

There are three ways to effectively communicate through mind mapping. One is to show the components of difficult situations; second, it gives you the idea of the possible outcomes of certain actions; and third, it highlights unrecognized linkages.

A typical example is maintaining your very own website. If you're utilizing mind mapping, you will usually draw diagrams of boxes and some lines representing the connections. Even if you have a simple website, it is sometimes difficult to track the connections and hierarchy. But what if you need to work with several complex situations? Do you think you can handle such task?

If you're asked to explain mind mapping to another person, you might find it quite hard but did you know that with a visual component outline, you can effectively communicate even the most complex relationships and structures?

Have you tried applying mind mapping to determine the outcome of certain actions? Manufacturers of various consumer products take a lot of time in weighing things. These manufacturers know that the internet can help them a lot in marketing their products but they still need to see if it's a profitable endeavor. If the manufacturers don't find it profitable, then they will not advertise their products online but if they find it profitable, they will need to determine the possible expenses and the time it takes to set up an online site to market the products. After the concerns are answered, other things will come up.

So, are you getting a good picture of how mind mapping is carried out? A certain action or decision depends on a certain factor; and in order to determine the correct answer, you will need to consider the answer to a previous query. Through mind mapping, you can easily illustrate certain actions and their possible consequences. By doing so, you can immediately forecast the outcome.

When you make a decision, you will often encounter outer forces which can be responsible for some changes in the outcome. How do you respond to such forces and changes? By answering this question, you might be able to highlight the unrecognized linkages.

Once you master mind mapping, complex situations can be simplified so that you can arrive at the best possible decision. All the possible consequences to a certain action can also be determined; at the same time, you can uncover linkages. Practice mind mapping now so that you can face any situation, no matter how hard it is.

Can Attitudes be Changed?

Universal Laws Applied to Day to Day Living

Maintaining Winning Attitudes

I think that we have probably all heard the phrase “Attitude is Everything.” I agree that the attitude we have towards a thing or event or person or job and so on, will have a direct impact on how we behave towards that situation. And it’s a given, that our behavior; how we act, will attract a response equal to or more than equal to, the attitude that we project towards it.
Even the Law of Sowing and Reaping says that “You get back, what you put out, in increasing amounts.”

In day to day terms, If we act warmly towards people, they are likely to show us warmth and hospitality in return. Where as, if we act with contempt towards other people, they may respond with distrust and avoidance.

If we act in an uncommitted wishy washy way, we may find that other people will be reluctant to commit to us, or even move away from working with us, because their perception might be, that we are unreliable and directionless.
However if we were to act decisively, respectfully and resourcefully, then generally others will be resourceful and gravitate towards working and supporting us, because they will be attracted to our leadership.

This may sound a little linear however we all know that one thing leads to another. The question is, where is our attitude leading us to? And is that where we want to end up?

How did I end up like this?
Our attitudes are a reflection of the bundles of beliefs that we have around a certain thing.
In Laymen’s terms; if we “Like" or “Dislike” a thing, that will come out in our attitude towards it.

Can attitudes be changed?
Absolutely, and with the right trigger, almost instantly.

I remember one time when my son was 16. I was doing typical parent stuff, like trying to get him to tidy his room. However my considerable efforts were being met with pleas of “Not Fair” & “It’s my room I should be able to have it, how I please” Naturally with just the right amount of apathy and lethargic Y Generation teenage boy grunting. You get the picture right.
However I was amazed a few minutes later, when his new and very attractive girlfriend rang to say that she was coming over to visit him. He was instantly a Man Transformed. From Clark Kent to Superman in 10 seconds flat. He became a domestic whirlwind, trying to get his “Pad” looking just right to impress his new Love. It was nothing short of inspiring.

Let me summarize where we are up to so far; our “behaviors” are a reflection of our “attitudes” and they are a descendant of our “beliefs.”

Let’s go a step further; our beliefs are made up of components.
These components are “meanings” and “rules.”
By “meanings” I mean if we had a belief that said “I am confident” that might “mean” that I must dress a certain way, I walk a certain way, I speak a certain way and I feel a certain way.

By “rules” I mean that I might expect certain things to happen to satisfy “being confident.” For example; I might expect to be treated with respect, I might expect to achieve certain things.
All of which needs to be satisfied and are attached to “I am Confident.”

If the “meanings and rules” attached to a belief are un useful and unreasonable, they will quickly develop into negative attitudes, behaviors and outcomes.
If the beliefs have useful and reasonable “meanings and rules” attached to them; that will develop into positive attitudes, actions and results.

Even the fabled Emerald Tablet, made famous by the movie The Secret, says “As within, so without.”
The Law of Attraction says, “We attract into our lives, the people events and circumstances that are in harmony with what we think about the most.”

And another Universal Law says “we feel good or positive about ourselves to the degree to which we feel we are in control of our own destiny. And we feel negative about ourselves to the degree to which we feel, we are not.”

But wait there’s more. Every belief, every meaning and every rule is made up of smaller components.
I call them “Elements” because they are as basic to the structure of a belief as the Chemical Periodic Table is to the structure of everything around us.

For example, one of the smallest components of a powerful raging river is the individual H2O molecules that make it up.

So when you think of a belief; “I am X”, lets say “I am Old.” The elements of that belief will be the pictures, sounds, self talk and feelings that would be in your mind, which make up that belief.

Then, if we go down to the electrons and particles that make up the elements, we would find even more interesting things.
For example; If we just explored the pictures related to “I am Old” you might notice if, what you saw in your mind was:
Fuzzy or Focused, moving or still, colour or Black and white, 3 Dimensional or flat like a photo.

These are the raw materials that our attitudes are made of.

This is what everyone does, naturally instantly and largely automatically, all of the time. We can not, not do this. It’s how we are built.
However we can learn how to take advantage of it, control it and direct it. And in the process, we can absolutely pick and maintain winning attitudes at will.

Is Hypnosis For Real?

Hypnosis has long been on the scene as a way to curb the most destructive habits, to make people cluck like chickens and all sorts of other reasons. When most people hear of hypnosis, they probably roll their eyes. Hypnosis isn't for real, after all. It's a parlor trick, it's entertainment, and it's a scam if you've paid for any sort of medical hypnosis or bought a self hypnosis book or audio tapes. However, when used correctly hypnosis really can help you overcome your most self destructive habits, such as overeating or smoking. In fact, learning the art of hypnosis can improve your self esteem, can make you emotionally stronger and can make you feel as though you've really got a handle on your life and how to be successful. How does it work? It's all within you.

Relax

In order to cause yourself to go into the deep, subconscious state of mind that it takes to undergo hypnosis, you must relax completely. If you go see a hypnotist, you'll find yourself being told to completely relax. You'll probably be told to close your eyes and to feel each body part completely relaxing. Feel your toes relax, then your insteps, the bottoms of your feet, your ankles, your shins, and so on. If a body part still feels tense, you'll likely be told, tell it to relax. Do this until your entire body is relaxed from the bottoms of your toes to the tops of your head. When you're completely relaxed, then the person taking you under will tell you to listen to the sound of their voice, or their use some other verbal or audio technique in order to take you further into your subconscious mind.

When you're in this state, officially under hypnosis, you are bypassing your conscious mind. Your conscious mind is where you actually think about the information coming in. Your conscious mind often discards the things it doesn't want to hear or thinks are impossible, such as telling yourself to quit smoking. Your conscious mind will say, "But I want a cigarette." But when you bypass your conscious mind and information goes right to your subconscious mind, that's when you are most susceptible to new information, suggestions, and that's when you can be instructed to break habits and even be taught how to succeed.

You Have To Want It

Hypnosis can work. It can be used for entertainment purposes as well as health purposes. It can even be used for self improvement purposes. However, you have to want to go under. You have to try and actually make effort to complete the instructions that the hypnotist gives you. If not, no amount of suggestion is going to work and everyone involved will have wasted their time. This is mostly why people say it doesn't work, because possibly they were attempting to go under, had doubts, and that's why it didn't work.

Easy Ways To Stop Biting Your Finger Nails

Biting your nails is a weird kind of habit. It often starts as a child and, with any luck, stops in childhood as well. Your parents nagging you all the time probably has a bearing on this.

But if you don't manage to quit nail biting as a child, is there any hope that you can stop as an adult?

I mean, let's face it, nails that are bitten down to the stub aren't exactly the most attractive thing to look at. Not to mention trying to disguise the fact that you're nibbling your nails at your desk or in a group with some work colleagues.

The nasty tasting potions that are sold in places like Amazon are more aimed at children..

So what other options are available to you? Or are you doomed to forever biting your nails whenever you get the chance?

As a starter, try to work out if there's some kind of stimulus that causes you to start gnawing on your nails. This could be nervousness. It could be caused by stress or worry in your life. If you're fortunate enough to be able to work out this stimulus, that's a fantastic start because your mind can then focus on ideas to maybe eliminate the problem that causes you to start biting your nails or you can work on ways to change your reaction to the problem. Whatever, it's a great start and could mean that your nails get a chance to grow of their own accord for maybe the first time in your life.

If you can't work out why you start biting your nails - if it just "happens" - there's still hope for you. There will definitely be a cause deep down, but it's in hiding and you're not going to find out in a hurry. If this is the case for you, it's worth the small cost of downloading a special hypnosis track to help you stop biting your nails. Then all you need to do is listen to the track and let it work it's magic.

Methods To Improve Your Memory

As we age we often find that certain parts of our bodies aren't working as well as they once did. One of the most common complaints is in the area of memory. Many people suffer memory loss, or a clouded memory. They can pinpoint major events of their lives but when it comes to the finer details they can't quite put their finger on every point.

This isn't an issue that just affects the elderly. Memory loss can happen to anyone of any age. Life is busy and when we have so much on our minds, some information might slip between the cracks, leaving us frustrated that we aren't as clear-minded as we once were. it can be something as simple as forgetting where we laid down our eyeglasses or what is my friend. If it happens occasionally we may overlook it as just having too much on our minds and therefore it becomes harder to retain all the information we need to. However if it's an ongoing problem it is something we need to address.

Memory loss can be an embarrassing issue and many people hesitate to talk about it with family, with friends and even with their physician. Often times they view it as a sign of aging and thereby ignore the problem. They assume that it happens to everyone and they just accept it.

There are solutions to the problem of memory loss. Depending on the seriousness of the problem, the remedies can range from exercises to enhance your memory, to natural supplements that help clear the mind or in some cases to traditional prescription medications.

Another approach that works for many people is to use aids in helping them remember important dates or events. Having a method of keeping track of things that involves writing them down when they are fresh in the mind guarantees that you won't forget them, because you can refer back to them. It also serves another purpose, when we write things down we can easily visualize the note later. Our mind will pull it back up and before we even refer to the notebook or day planner, we have recalled the name, date or event.

Some people have found it helpful to repeat things out loud. This works to reinforce the information and implant it into the memory. This seems to work especially well for people who have trouble remembering names when they are meeting someone for the first time.

Memory loss is a condition that can affect anyone. By taking a few small steps you can work towards building your memory back up. It's much like the Memory Game that children play when they are small to exercise that part of their mind. The adult version may differ a bit, but the principle is very much the same. Exercising the mind is much like exercising any muscle within your body. If it's not stimulated our memory won't work as well as it once did.

How To Stop Feeling Shy When You're In The Nude

Forunately it's not a frequent occurrence that we have to strip off all our clothes and be naked. But there are occasions when you have no choice, for example, in the communal shower after a game of hockey with your team. And, of course, when you want to spend some quality time alone with your partner.

So what can you do if the very thought of being in the nude with other people fills you with dread?

1. Practice being naked when you're alone

There's a good chance that the mere thought of being naked and vulnerable is the main cause of your phobia. So, when you're alone and unlikely to be disturbed, lock the bedroom door, close the curtains and strip naked. Don't get self conscious about this - simply take off your clothes the exact same way that you'd do if you were getting ready to take a shower or a bath. Then wander around the room and begin to get accustomed to not wearing any clothes. Congratluations! You've taken your first step to becoming more comfortable with yourself when you're not protected by clothes and losing your shyness of being naked.

2. Recognize that you're not different

If you're a member of the human race, you're going to be similar to around half the humans on the planet. You could be a few inches shorter or taller than others. Your weight is likely a few pounds different. But fundamentally, you're either a man or a woman and you're very similar to almost every other man or woman in the world. Whilst this may not alay your fear, it may help you to start to rationalize your phobia.

3. Get some help

One of the fastest ways to get over your being naked fear is to get some help. And one of the best ways to do this is to use a specially constructed hypnosis track to overcome your phobia of being naked. It's inexpensive, you can listen to it over again, it's 100% discreet and it really does work. Find out more about using hypnosis to overcome your worry of being naked here.

Easy Remedies For Your Blushing

It's a very normal reaction to blush if you're taunted of teased.

But if you begin to blush at what seems like every available opportunity, that's a different matter, especially when you blush for no reason at all.

One of the most normal causes of blushing is when you are embarrassed or nervous and sometimes when you eat hot and spicy foods.

The blood vessels open wider and flood the face, making the whole of your face, and even the tips of your ears, turn crimson with the heart palpitating at times.

It's perfectly normal to blush occasionally but if you start to blush too frequently, there's a good chance you'll become more self conscious and your behavior may become more erratic, especially when others are close.

If you don't know any cures for blushing and leave it as it is, there may come a time when you will develop a fear or phobia of it and thus worsen the scenario. 

There are a number of different cures for blushing that are recommended by both doctors and psychiatrists. These vary in their effectiveness but at best will stop your annoying blushing habit.

Anybody can have the tendency to blush excessively and believe it or not people do notice it.

Some of these blushing solutions may help you control your blushing and be able to mingle with other people with confidence once again.

Some of the cures below are a result of scientific research whilst others are more of an extension of your body's natural ways to relax.

• As soon as you realize you've started to blush, take some deep breaths. Inhale and exhale deeply, usually for 7-11 seconds, this will help you to calm down and begin to reduce the severity of your blushing.
• Cut out spicy foods from your diet, at least when you're eating with others and your blushing will be noticed.
• Try an alternative blushing remedy, such as hypnosis.

3 Simple Tools For Time Management

 

There are no hard and fast rules about what tools you must own, if you are going to embark on a mission to improve your time management skills. The following simple tools, however, are inexpensive, and can help make the process of tracking, planning and organizing your time easier and less burdensome.

Time Monitor Journal- This resource comes in both the digital and traditional varieties. It is useful in helping you to monitor and record your own use of time, in order to identify key areas for change.

Planner- Available in digital and traditional formats, planners are wonderful for recording goals, making notes, keeping track of appointments and more. A planner is a must have to help you stay organized and on target, when working toward your goals.

Time Management - About Time Boxing

Time boxing is a system of time management which breaks down a long and complex task into smaller pieces. Each piece of the task must be accomplished by a specific deadline. In time boxing deadlines are not flexible, but everything else in the project is.

In time boxing a large task is broken down into several sections. Each section has specific guidelines for its completion. When the boxes are first “laid out”, along with their deadlines, the project may be very detailed. As each deadline approaches, if the tasks first pinpointed in the time box are not near to completion, certain aspects of those tasks may be scraped.

One example of this type of time management system might be to consider a script for a motion picture. The scenes are laid out in boxes, with 5 or 6 scenes to be completed at each deadline. As the deadline approaches one of scenes may be dropped, in order to finish the completion of that section of the project on time.

Time boxing does not work in every instance. The key element to this system of time management is the deadline. In some cases if the deadline is not met, the entire project is scraped as a result.

The system works best when a strict budget must be adhered to, thus preventing the extending of deadlines, in order to finish the work.

Improve Yourself Through Spiritual Enlightenment

Yoga For Spirliual Enlightenment

If you've been practicing yoga or meditation for a while, or if you're thinking about joining a yoga class, one of your goals may be spiritual enlightenment. These practices will help you to become more aware of your body, and will help you to realize the connection between the way your body feels and the way your mind reacts. Here are some of the milestones you will reach as a result of spiritual enlightenment, as well as some resources you can use to find out more about yoga principles.

For many the use of yoga or the purpose of indulging themselves in yoga is to relieve stress and as a way of relaxation, or as part of a regular workout regimen. When meditation is begun, you will need to focus on what is causing the stress and this is important. It is possible that the stress is due to having to do a lot of work everyday, or having to many chores at home. Then the next step is to determine whether or not you will be able to remove what is causing the unbalance within you.

Is it possible for you to get another job right now? Can you delegate some of the responsibilities to other members of your family? If nothing can be done to make your actual situation different at the moment, you'll have to use your meditating and breathing exercises to change the way that you're thinking about the things that are going on in your life. You'll need to concentrate on how you can alter your mind to deal with stress appropriately, so that at the times when you would usually crumble under the pressure of having to do too many things at once, you can go to the place in your mind that helps you to handle chaotic situations calmly.

When you're practicing yoga for spiritual enlightenment in addition to your meditation, you should also pay special attention to your body's movements, as well as how each movement makes your body and mind feel. When you feel physically sick, you are more likely to be more stressed, since you won't have the energy you need to work or run errands efficiently. And, when you have to work long hours despite the fact that you're not feeling well, this could weaken your immune system even more. So, spiritual enlightenment will come from practicing your 'asanas', or yoga poses as often as you can, as well as meditating.

Or if you're on your own, maybe you grab the vacuum cleaner and kill the poor creature in the guts of the machine.

In the short term, chances are that you resort to one of these solutions when you encounter a spider.

But let's get real here, you're hundreds of times bigger than even the beastliest spider. So why should you let nature's fly catchers dominate your life?

Start by finding out how deep your fear of spiders is. My guess is that because you're on this page, you can cope with the word "spider" on your computer screen. But if you were near a real spider, you'd be first out of the room in a race with it.

I could suggest that you look at some pictures of spiders to accustom yourself to them, but unless I was treating you face to face, it's unlikely you'd do this. If you're feeling brave, give this a go now, but don't sweat about it if you skip this part.

Next up, see if you can remember the time and place you first learned to be scared of spiders. Was it the creature itself? Or was it the creepy feeling you get when you accidentally brush your face into a spider's web? If it's the latter, there's a good chance that your phobia has been reinforced by various movies - cobwebs feature in a large number of horror movies.

Then take yourself back a few more hours. Were you merrily playing a game with a spider when your sister found you and started screaming? If so, that is near enough guaranteed to be the exact time you learned that you were "supposed" to be afraid of spiders rather than co-existing with them.

On the plus side, since you learned fast to be afraid of spiders, you can "unlearn" just as fast. If you've got a hypnotist in town, they'll sort you out. Or you could get the same end result for a lot less cash by getting hold of a hypnosis spider phobia cure and listening to it a few times.

How To Conquer Your Fear of Crowds

Unless you live in absolutely the middle of nowhere, crowds are a fact of life.

Which makes it a problem if you're afraid of crowds.

Trouble is, a crowd can appear in the blink of an eye. One minute you're almost on your own in a street or mall, then you turn around and there are people everywhere. It's like you've stepped into a movie.

Most times, crowds are harmless. But if you've got a fear of them, it's a completely different story when you try to tell your mind that fact. There's a good likelihood that your mind will be working overtime, deciding on exactly how this current crowd can be harmful to you. Regardless of the fact that they're just a group of strangers intent on minding their own business, not a lynch mob.

So what are your options to make yourself calmer if you suddenly find you are stuck in the middle of what seems like a giant mob?

Listening to your rational mind saying "no worries" probably won't do the trick.

Taking a few deep breaths may work. Or at least stop you panicking totally.

Then let your survival instinct take over and head for the closest exit. Steadily. Without running.

Longer term, you need to do something more.

If it's possible, work out when your fear of crowded spaces first started. It probably goes back to your childhood and maybe you got parted from your parents and started to panic and maybe cry. Quite often, phobias such as this one go a long way back in our life to our time as a child and we weren't as rational and straight thinking as we are as an adult.

If it's possible to trace your fear of crowds back to one particular time, one of the best ways to cure yourself is to "un-learn" the reaction that you learned so fast, so long ago. There are some tricks you can do to achieve this but they're best left to professionals.

Mind you, before you go down that route, check out a hypnosis download on crowd phobia - this works most of the time for most people and is definitely the first place to start.

Do you know the Five methods of finding personal happiness in life?

Happiness

Something that all of us want but does not come easily is happiness. Happiness is definitely that we may need to work on. We have to find ways to be able to learn happiness regardless of the things that happen in our lives. It really is something that we are able to do and able to do well. It is not necessary for us to worry about what other people may think because we only get a single chance to make the most of our lives and after all it is our life and not anyone else's.

The Ways

There are some methods that you can try so that you have all the happiness in life that you deserve. It is going to take some work and a lot of effort, but you can do it and once you see the way that you feel, you will know that it is worth it and that you have made the right choices in life.  Taking these methods into consideration is very important.  You need to make things work for you so that you are able to do well in life and to get all your goals achieved.

1. Without happiness, life is meaningless. We have to first set goals. Once we have goals in place and we know what we want, we have to figure out a way to get there. We need to find ways to make things happen for us so that we can have the very best in life that we deserve. We need to make our life special so that we are able to feel good at the end of the day. When we are setting goals that we want in life, we will be able to start to feel good about our life because we will have a goal to work hard for.

2. Second, we need to remember that we have to live for today. We need to make sure that we are using our best intentions and making the days that we have worthwhile. We need to of course think about our future and make sure that we are making the right choices so that we are safe and secure, but we also need to bring some fun to our life and to make sure that are succeeding in all our goals.

3. Another thing to do is to think about what things will make us lose our happiness. What are the factors or events in our life that would make us feel discontented with who we are and would cause us not to feel happy. These are items that we have to really stay away from. We should ensure that we are able to keep away the negative factors from our life, and that we are able to make the correct choices without putting risks on our happiness. It is essential that we continue to make things work out for us and that we are able to stay happy.

4. The fourth thing we have to ensure is that we are healthy in order for us to be happy. We should remain in good health and that we should make the right health choices to that we can stay happy and healthy regardless of what we do. We need to eat the right way and consider the food choices we make for our body. We should refrain from making choices that will cause us to be unhealthy and sick. We have to remove the negative things that affect us so that we stay in good mental health so that we are both physically and mentally happy at the same time.

5. Lastly we need to keep the good feelings in our hearts. We have to be able to keep these good feelings in our mind so that we can give back to others. We need to be pleasant and to try and be happy.  The more pleasant that we are will mean that we will be able to stay happier as well as make others happy too. We want to make other people feel good about them. We want to be able to bring joy to others and keep thinking good thoughts.  Do not let yourself get down and especially do not intentionally bring others down.

Fear of Dogs: Simple Ways To Reduce Your Fear Of Dogs

Lots of people are afraid of dogs. The fear is quite often triggered when we're younger. Maybe you were enjoying a game with a dog and suddenly there were bare teeth and loud barks. If that happens when you were older and wiser, no worries, you'd likely not have an issue. But when you're younger, almost instantly your mind is trained to think that dogs are not as nice as you thought they were.

Since we learn fast when we put our mind to it, this impression sticks with us. Whether or not we can't work out why when we think about it rationally.

So what can you do to reduce your fear of dogs? Deep down, most of them just want to make friends with you and be fed dog treats every now and then.

You could tell yourself that "dogs are friendly" but you and I know that you won't actually believe yourself. Above all as it's almost 100% certain there's a very loud voice in your head screaming (in true pantomime fashion) "oh no they aren't!"

The next step is to get a little bit closer to dogs so that you see them but they can't see you or have it jump up at you and smother you with muddy paw prints. Pictures work well for this stage. Unless you're truly paranoid, you're certain that a picture is really just some ink on a page or pixels on your PC monitor. Most people, even if their initial reaction is "no way", get on OK with this stage and you'll probably find yourself being a little less panicky at the thought of encountering a dog in real life.

But all that is quite tedious and can take what seems like forever. What do you do if your kids absolutely must have a dog and there's no way you can talk them out of it?

A much quicker way to combat things such as a phobia of dogs is by using hypnosis. This works quickly and easily. And no-one but you need ever know you're using it since you can instantly download a hypnosis MP3 for fear of dogs and listen to it and just let your fear disappear.

The Ancient Science of Hypnotherapy

We need to look way back into history to find the roots of this ancient science. It is a tool that is now well respected by the medical profession and has been used by many individuals with great success. All major cities will have a hypnotherapy practice in their midst, often within a multi-disciplinary clinic.   

The intension of hypnotherapy is to essentially alter some part of our behavior. Problems such as overeating, fears, stopping smoking, phobic reactions and other behavioral issues can all be cured through hypnotherapy. In a hypnotherapy consultation, the therapist will gently assist the client to move into a state of trance where, through the subjects subconscious mind, the work is performed. In essence, the state of trance allow the therapist to go beyond the conscious mind and address the real problems of the subject. 

The mechanism of inducing trance is not complex. The ways of creating trance are numerous with the most popular being either concentration on a particular spot or swinging a watch or pendulum in front of the eyes. By using the voice, the therapist will use guided suggestions to help induce trance. Using words and phrases such as 'allow', 'become aware of' and 'notice how', enables the therapist to promote the trance state. When in the trance, by saying very specific suggestions to the subject, the therapist is able to promote the change being sought. Having finished the suggestions and the work is complete, the subject is returned to daily consciousness, usually by the therapist counting from 1 to 10. 

There are many different ways to achieve the trance state, and many ways to perform the procedure, however the basic pattern described is the same. 

The length of therapy, i.e. the amount of sessions needed, depends greatly upon the nature of the issues to be addressed. For people who smoke as a habit or for those with phobias and fears, a single treatment may be all that is required. Other deep-seated issues may require between 3 to 5 sessions to be fully effective. The effects of the therapy can often be immediate, but for some the change is gradual as the person adjusts to their new way of being.

Deeply repressed problems, long forgotten in the subject's subconscious are the cause of many problems treated by a hypnotherapist. Dealing with repressed issues whilst a person is in a trance, is a highly effective way of removing the negative impact on the individual. The negative impact of repressed feeling can be healed and a person's sense of peace can return. 

People who have used the services of a hypnotherapists often report a feeling of wholeness and peace having regained their natural state of well being. 

 

 

How To Overcome Your Fear of Thunderstorms

Most everyone in the world has had first hand experience of thunderstorms. Some people find the loud noises and flashes of light exhilarating - heck, there are even storm chasers out there - but others find them disturbing and worrying.

If you're in the second group and have a phobia about thunderstorms, what can you do to help overcome your fear?

1. Learn to relax

This likely won't be something you'd start learning at the peak of a thunderstorm, as thunder rolls around the sky. But since these storms don't last forever, use the time between them to learn to relax. Oddly, it takes effort to relax properly (most likely because our modern way of life does its level best to make sure we don't ever relax). But with a little bit of practice, you'll soon re-learn the trick of being able to relax whenever you want to. In the meantime, put on your favorite track, draw the curtains and turn the headphones up to distract yourself from the weather outside.

2. Acknowledge your fear

Ouch! You're likely thinking this is not exactly easy. Fortunately, our fear is often irrational, which means if you face up to it, there's a very high chance that your fear turns around and runs away. If your fear takes the form of a nagging voice in your head, remember that the voice is one you've created. So begin to play with your fear rather than being scared by it. Make it squeak like Mickey Mouse. Spray paint it like a teenage graffiti artist would. Anything to make fun of the fear you're creating. Sounds daft? Just suspend your disbelief and give it a go!

3. Seek out help

Maybe a work colleague or a trusted friend to talk to - vocalizing our fears quite often makes the fear recede of its own accord. Or get hold of a specialist hypnosis track to quell your fear of thunderstorms. These are very effective and inexpensive as well.

The answer is Time Management & Goal Setting. Many highly successful women are often asked about their secret of success. And more often than not, they have the same response, and that is Productivity. However, although this is almost an expected response, many are still surprised at how Productivity really works.

Productivity is quite simply the proper allocation of time for certain tasks. First, the important tasks have to be arranged in a certain way where it is clustered into sectors and listed according to urgency and importance.

Goal Setting Tools & Time Management Techniques

There are a lot of persons who need lots of reminder when it comes to taking care of home based businesses. Often, they are too small that they are disregarded as unimportant. If you are one of them, buy some quick-and-easy teasers. What's good about science is you can probably put a reminder just about everywhere! Mobile phones nowadays have built-in organizers, post-its are available in different sorts, and even the good old fridge door magnets have come in a lot of forms.

What is important is that the frequency of the reminding is now being increased. This is good for Time Management because it keeps you aware of the things which you have to do especially if they're urgent.

The organizer + Watch Tandem

These are staples for just about every busybody from the college beadle to the corporate leader. The organizing device of your choice is something that holds your appointments and it's also a tiny little space for some writing. People who are busy all the time usually have contact numbers of random people they meet, gifts for a not-so-relevant birthday party that he has to go to or some sudden brilliant ideas that come to mind. For these and more, you will need an organziing device of your choice. It has to be a little notebook, just enough to fit in a handbag, and should be made of durable material. You must bring your organizer with you every day, in case you need to list something down as a reminder.

And indeed, the perfect complement to an organizer is a good working watch. Just because your watch didn't work well You may have experienced running late for an appointment.  What's worse is that the person you're meeting wouldn't even believe you. This blunder can easily be avoided. Just get a quality watch that does not even have to be that expensive. Having a good sense of time is practically the first step in Productivity.

The Perfect mindset

It's pressuring to know that you have a lot of things in your hand and it seems like you can't even do anything about it. Don't tip over. 

Moreover, keep a be on your toes kind of manner of thinking as you maneuver your way into your busy life. Sure, there are times when you distance yourself from your organizer. For some, it is a painful reminder of the busy life they lead. It's perfectly alright to feel some form of eternal urgency but take some time off once in a while. You must never forget yourself in your list of tasks.

Read Faster, Retain More With Speed Reading

Regardless of your current ability to read and comprehend, a good speed reading program can help you improve your reading speed. And at the same time you can maintain or improve your comprehension skills.

With a speed reading program, people learn to rapidly scan the reading material. They are taught to ignore irrelevant information and pick out only the pertinent parts. The goal is to read complete sentences as a single unit rather than focusing on each word in order to pick up the gist of the reading material.

In particular, technical materials can be difficult to read, and they often run to a thousand pages or more. Speed reading can help people get through them faster while retaining the important information. This is very useful, because if they can't remember a large portion of what was read, they might have to read it all over again.

When kids are learning to read, they are taught to read a single word and say it out loud to help retain recognition. They then do the same with each word that follows. And as they get older, they continue to use this rather inefficient way of reading. But a speed reading program can retrain the brain to learn a better, faster way to read.

The first speed reading program was developed and introduced in Australia by Evelyn Woods in 1958. Since then, learning to read faster has become extremely popular, especially when it comes to reading informational text.

There are many different techniques available in a speed reading program. They are all designed to help participants learn to read faster. But some critics claim that many of the courses only help to achieve faster reading while reducing the comprehension rate. The speediest readers can plow through a couple thousand words in just an hour, as demonstrated in speed reading competitions. On the other hand, their comprehension rate is about 50 percent.

This is considered by some to be an essential component of a speed readng course that is lacking in many programs. They measure their success based solely on speed instead of comprehension and retention. This is highly important, of course, especially when it comes to technical content.

When looking for a speed reading program to improve your reading speed, look for one that can improve comprehension and retention, along with speed. As you start to use your new abilities, you'll discover that it's a lot faster to get what you need from any book or manual.

Easy Relaxation Techniques For Busy People

If you are busy person with tight schedules then you most likely are stressed and tired all the time. You are constantly tired which is affecting your sleeping patterns. What is the way out for you? Learn a few easy relaxation techniques which can improve and reduce your stress. It can remove your anxiety levels as well. Learning relaxation skills will improve your sleep patterns also. The only question here is that you should find time to practise relaxation techniques.

Most relaxation skills have key skills which are common to all of them. Learning them would be a cake walk if practised regularly. Relaxation techniques are one of the easiest to learn. For starters, here is what you can do:

Notice any signs of physical tension in your body

Feel your body. Look out for signs of tension. Look out for how your body reacts and feels during different times of the day. Check out how your breathing is. Do you take very deep breaths or are they shallow breaths. Look out for head aches and clenched jaws. Will you be able to describe how your body feels at any given point of time? Looking out for all these just takes a few minutes and this process is known as body scan. A Body scan can easily reveal if you have any built up tensions in your body.

However, it is best that signs of stress and tension be recognized early. This will not only help you combat it effectively, but help you ease your tensions quickly. But it must be kept in mind that each and every person has his or her own way of reacting to stresses. One way of recognizing stress early is by doing a body scan, as described above, several times a day.

Breath Control

Breath Control is a part and parcel of every relaxation technique. If you feel you are breathing fast during a body scan, learn to slow it down. An ideal cycle would be 10-12 breaths per minute. Use abdominal breathing and learn to breath deeply and slowly. In fact, slowing down your breathing is one of the best and fastest relaxation techniques. This is because it changes the concentration of oxygen in your body. It also helps in easing tense muscles. Yoga Exercises do incorporate a lot of effective breathing exercises which can be applied effectively.

It would be good if you start noticing the way you breathe. Is it plain, shallow breaths, or fast? Is your chest and throat feeling tight? Try changing your breath pattern and check if it has any effect on your level of tension. For starters, do not straight away take big deep breaths. You are sure to harm yourself by hyperventilating yourself or become light-headed which will increase your tension.

Slow you Mind

In these busy days, almost every one has their mind occupied with one or other issues. It could be just things to do, or a whole lot of tensions, or it could be just plain worry. Usually, people have serious trouble switching themselves off from the worry mode. One way to get out of this worry mode is by letting go of your thoughts. Also, during the regular body scan, try noticing when your mind is active and when it is calm. That way you are keeping track of how busy your mind is.

As with any other area, even the sphere of relaxation is subject to myths. Most people do think that relaxation means emptying your mind of thoughts. That is next to impossible. During relaxation you can't let go of your thoughts, but you should just let them float about without attempting to concentrate on them. It is akin to sitting at a bus station; buses come and go and there is no rule that you should climb every bus that comes your way.

The ideal ways to relax yourself is to start noticing for signals. Noticing for body tension, controlling your breathing, as well as slowing down your mind, are the very basics of relaxation techniques. As the adage goes, "Practise makes a man perfect". Practise more and you will be able to relax much more effectively in a much quicker time.

10 Ways to Begin Taking Control with Positive Thinking.

10 Ways to Begin Taking Control with Positive Thinking.

When first considering ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) you would not think to combat it with positive thinking. But for many with ADD, having negative thoughts is not uncommon, due to all the frustrations and overall feelings of discouragement that are brought on by it. This negative outlook then makes it even harder for us to manage those challenges and move forward.

Practicing positive thinking allows people with ADD to focus on our strengths and accomplishments, which increases happiness and motivation. It will help in better using your time to work on making progress, rather than feeling discouraged and helpless. You can use the following tips to help you begin to have a more positive outlook and change your thinking process, in a way to help improve your quality of life.

1. Remember there is only ONE of YOU, so taking good care of yourself is first and foremost.

When you take good care of yourself by eating healthy, exercising and getting adequate rest, it is much easier to be positive.

2. Remind Yourself of the Things You Are Grateful For

When you take the time to remember some of the things that are good in your life, then stress from the challenges you face are not as difficult. Taking just 60 seconds a day to stop and appreciate the good things will make a huge difference.

3. Don’t give in to ’making assumptions’, but instead discipline your mind to look for proof or actual facts.

Fear can be a strong negative thought process that can rob us of living a healthy, good quality life and often our fears and worries are unfounded. For instance, if you are worried or fearful that someone is in a bad mood because of something you did, or that people are secretly gossiping behind your back about you, then you should ask them if it is true or not. Otherwise you will spend a lot of wasted time worrying about it, so it is best to get the facts and not make an assumption based on a thought impression.

4. Refrain from Using Absolutes

Words like, ’ALWAYS’ or ’NEVER’ when used in a negative descriptive way, such as: "You NEVER call me any more" will only increase the negative experience. Thinking and speaking absolutes in this way will only work to make the situation seem worse than it really is, and will cause you to believe something about others that very well may not be true.

5. Detach From Negative Thoughts

Our thoughts determine the way we live and therefore you need to discern them and discipline yourself to overcome negative thinking. When a negative thought begins to invade your thinking, you need to recognize it right away as a negative influence, immediately change your thinking by turning it around to something that will make you stronger and happier.

6. Squash the "ANTs"

In his book "Change Your Brain, Change Your Life," Dr. Daniel Amen talks about "ANTs" - Automatic Negative Thoughts.

ANTs are usually negative reactionary thoughts, like "They are talking about me behind my back" or "The boss is looking for me, it must be because I did something wrong"! When you notice these thoughts, realize that they are nothing more than ANTs and squash them!

7. Begin to show your family and friends positive physical contact with a hug, smile, pat on the back or welcoming handshake.

You don’t have to be an expert to know the benefits of a good hug. Positive physical contact with friends, loved ones, and even pets, is an instant pick-me-up. There was a research study conducted, in which a waitress was told to gently touch some of her customers on the arm as she gave them their checks. She received higher tips from these customers than from the ones she didn’t touch!

8. Increase Your Social Activity

By increasing social activity, you will decrease loneliness. Surround yourself with healthy, happy people, and their positive energy will affect you in a positive way.

9. Volunteer for an Organization, or Help another Person

Everyone feels good after helping. You can volunteer your time, your money, or your resources. The more positive energy you put out into the world, the more you will receive in return.

10. Use Pattern Interrupts to Combat Harmful Thoughts.

A great way to stop thinking unconstructive thoughts is to interrupt the pattern by forcing yourself to begin thinking and doing something completely different. Recognize old thought patterns that may be hyper-focusing on something negative. That way of thinking is never productive, but only leads to stress and unnecessary anxiety. Try changing your physical environment - go for a walk or sit outside. Or, you could call a friend, turn on some music or look at a magazine.

Find sayings, scripture verses or quotes that will help motivate you to remain positive in your thinking, the following are some of my favorites: "Think like a queen. A queen is not afraid to fail. Failure is another steppingstone to greatness." - Oprah Winfrey "Fear less, hope more; Eat less, chew more; Whine less, breathe more; Talk less, say more; Love more, and all good things will be yours" - A Swedish Proverb

Become More Confident With These 7 Simple Tips

If your self confidence level could be laid out in full on your little fingernail, check out these 7 easy self confidence tips:

1. Take a short, sharp walk

Confident people are often in a hurry, so the logic on this is that you'll feel more important as you dash around. Your faster walking will also increase your overall energy levels as you won't be giving yourself the chance to just stroll along.

2. Stand up straight

Yeah. Sounds a bit glib. But check it for yourself now. Stoop and face the floor - notice how you feel more "down" almost instantly? Now stand tall and tilt your head slightly upwards. Allow yourself to smile. Feel more alive?

3. Dress yourself smarter

Sure, the "dress to impress" slogan is well worn (excuse the pun). But if you're wearing smarter, cleaner clothes you'll begin to feel more confident.

4. Express your gratitude for things

You don't have to say a prayer of thanks, unless that fits your religious beliefs. Simply express your gratitude more regularly. This can be for anything - your surroundings through to your friends, being free from disease or anything else you want to be grateful for. You can be grateful vocally or just "think" your gratitude.

5. Compliment people

Although this isn't the main aim, you'll probably get complimented back. Regardless of other people's reaction to this, you'll watch the negative energy around you melt away and you'll envelop yourself in a more positive attitude.

6. Sit at the front

If you sit at the back of an auditorium, lecture or whatever then you're telling your subconscious that you want to fade into the background. Move to the front row - it's probably almost empty. Dare yourself to be asked a question and have the confidence to answer it!

7. Join in conversations

If you normally hate to join in a conversation, have your say every now and then. Most people will be happy for you to join in the conversation (or at least won't shout you down for a minute or two) and you'll begin to boost your self confidence.

Weight Loss Hypnosis Program: Change Bad Habits Into Good Habits

Today, more and more people have begun to eat poorly and are not exercising enough; leading to out of shape bodies and overweight frames. Once ingrained in you, these bad habits become hard to break free from. How well a weight loss hypnosis programs work for you depends on your own will power and your ability to make a conscious effort to succeed, as many people have also tried out different weight loss hypnosis programs with varying degrees of success.

Tap The Subconscious Mind

An interesting fact that is well known to most people is that humans only use between ten and twelve percent of their brain power with the remaining eighty-eight to ninety percent being used by the mind – subconsciously. It is easy to figure out that in order to achieve things in life you will have to tap your subconscious a bit more. You need to act subconsciously and this holds true even when using a weight loss hypnosis program, if you want to change things in life.

It is believed that if you try out a weight loss hypnosis program you will get to use up all of the power of the mind – and it holds good even if you are not trying to lose weight – you can use your mind in this way to attain any kind of personal goal.

Weight loss hypnosis programs work by allowing you to speak to your own subconscious mind and suggest that it stop doing and/or cancel unhelpful actions.

How To Reduce Your Fear of Dentists

It's quite normal to be afraid of dentists. Gee, even my own dentist told me that she hates going to the dentist herself, so if she does dentistry for a living and is afraid...?

Then there's the different medieval looking instruments they put in your mouth. And that nasty whirring drill.

So, how can you get over your fear of dentists?

1. Use a sympathetic dentist

With that description, I don't mean that you should decide on a dentist because they do good work (fortunately most all of them do). I mean that you should pick who is aware of your worries and has a track record of dealing with patients the same as you already. Be prepared to ask friends and work colleagues. Just the same as some doctors have a good bedside manner, it figures that some dentists cope with fearful patients better than others do.

2. Interview your potential dentist

Don't sign up with a dentists surgery until you've actually chatted with your potential dentist. Tell them that you're afraid of dentists and ask them how they can assist you and calm your nerves when you visit for an inspection or to have fillings, crowns, etc.

3. Take a friend or family member

Check with your potential dentists if you can bring a friend when you have a dentists appointment. Someone who can physically hold your hand while you're in the dentists chair. If they won't allow this then, unless you have no other choice, move on to the next dentist on your list.

4. Try to relax

Yeah. While you're laying back in that chair and you grip the chair's arms so tight you can feel the frame inside, this isn't the easiest thing to do. Especially the first few times you try it. But taking up a relaxation method - this could be meditation, listening to relaxing music, breathing exercises, whatever. Next, when you are glued to the dentists chair, think about relaxing and take a really deep breath. Rather than the quick breaths you normally take in this situation.

5. Use hypnosis

Yup. Hypnosis really does work. You can download a simple hypnosis track to help overcome your fear of dentists and listen to it wherever and whenever you like. Gradually, in the coming days and weeks of listening to a fear of dentists hypnosis track, you'll find them becoming less scary.

Getting Personal With Transpersonal Hypnotherapy

Transpersonal hypnotherapy is almost as old as acupuncture which dates back some thousands of years ago. Ever since it gave birth in this world, it has been used by many people because of its therapeutic effects to many illnesses and other bodily conditions.

Today, a diverse array of transpersonal hypnotherapy has been conceived. There is hypnotherapy anxiety, hypnosis for weight loss, and a lot more variations of the therapy. Each and every type of therapy has been deemed to be very effective in every specific case. The reasons are still unknown as to why it is effective. Bust safety in trying these treatments is greatly guaranteed because there are no detrimental effects related to it. However, the positive effects can only be noted through a long term compliance with the therapy. To make this kind of treatment work it is important to remember that compliance with transpersonal therapy is greatly needed.

Transpersonal Hypnotherapy – What Is It?

Transpersonal hypnotherapy believes on the fact that there is something greater than our three dimensional consciousness. Said to be the guidance of our power, is this dimension of human nature in hypnotherapy. The key to get in touch with the root cause or source of his problems is individual's innate capacity to direct or focus on the problems areas of his life. It is greatly believed that through transpersonal hypnotherapy, it would be possible to grasp on your problem and make changes in order to cure it.

Transpersonal Hypnotherapy – Purposes

Transpersonal hypnotherapy works in so many ways. It helps people get cured of their addiction problems in drugs, smoking, and drinking, first off. Those who are frequently exposed to stress, the therapy also helps relax. Even weight loss problems can be fixed by transpersonal hypnotherapy. The possibilities of this kind of treatment is actually almost limitless; perhaps the only thing that can tell of its efficacy would be the determination of the ill person to get cured and the regular attendance in the sessions given by the professional hypnotherapist.

Transpersonal Hypnotherapy – The Two Forms

Transpersonal hypnotherapy has two forms, namely: directive and non-directive. The only difference between the two is the approach of the treatment. Directive hypnotherapy approaches the person in a straightforward manner; this means the therapist readily asks some questions and gives suggestions to the person's problem areas. Non-directive therapy, meanwhile acts the opposite way as further "mind conditioning" sessions are given prior to the hypnosis therapy itself.
