Did you wish for $1million? And then sat down on the couch and expected it to appear? pile of money There's a famous saying that sums that up "stupidity is doing the same thing over and over but expecting different results" You broke up with your boyfriend and got back together.. 3 times! Had you changed? Really? had he changed? If that were true would the pattern have been the same again? I think you get the idea. Whats my point? The secret law of attraction piece of the puzzle thats missing is that you have to take action to move towards the goals you put "out there". Positive action. If for example you wanted $1million but you save every dollar, never donate and always use coupons then chances are this won't happen. Why not? Because you have such a tight grip on the money you have it shows there's probably a negative emotion buried in you somewhere in regards to money. You are not behaving abundantly therefore you can't be. Beliefs about money come in to play especially when someone wins lotto or has a huge windfall. Do you know anyone who has come into a lot of money only to be broke again 6 months to a year later? Having doubts about your worthiness produces negative energy. Negative energy produces negative results. If you don't think you deserve a new Porsche, you won't get it. If you don't think the Law of Attraction works, it won't work for you. Porsche,car Focusing your thoughts on getting that new Porsche, picturing yourself driving it, truly believing you deserve it, and allowing it to come to you is the way to get it. You have to emotionally detach from the outcome. Every time I've done that the Law of Attraction has worked. Just asking is only the first step in the Law of Attraction. Feeling and acting as if you've received it is the second, knowing you deserve it and allowing it to come to you is the third. Positive energy is the only way to get positive results. And positive energy is only produced by positive thoughts.

These messages are unrecognizable by the conscious mind, but in certain situations can affect the subconscious mind and can negatively or positively influence subsequent later thoughts, behaviors, actions, attitudes, belief systems and value systems. The term subliminal means "beneath a limen" (sensory threshold). This is from the Latin words sub, meaning under, and limen, meaning threshold. Subliminal definition from Wikipedia.org subliminal WHAT IS YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS TELLING YOU?? Every day, your subconscious mind picks up messages. No matter what you're doing, your brilliant subconscious mind will pick things up--good or bad--and those things will change you before you even realize what is happening. DID YOU KNOW... The subconscious mind is much more powerful than most of us realize. It has a huge amount of control over our behavior. Each and every day, our subconscious mind determines much of what we do--whether we like it or not. TAKE CONTROL OF SUBLIMINAL MESSAGES AND USE THEM TO HELP YOU! Large retail stores use subliminal messages to reduce theft. Celebrities such as Tiger Woods and Anthony Robbins say that subliminal messages are a key part of their success. If these people can use subliminal messages to help them, so can you! There are a few ways to do subliminal training one is mp3's the other main way is subliminal programming. I'VE TRIED A FEW OF THESE... Numerous mp3's (In the process of making my own) I've tried 3 subliminal programs that run on your computer and flash affirmations randomly on your screen at 100 milliseconds it's so fast that your conscious mind can't read them. Thats the idea. These affirmations go straight into your subconscious. Your conscious mind can't comprehend these messages, but your subconscious instantly understands and acts upon them. The first program I got was free and it kept crashing my computer (very useful) the second was by an Australian developer. I'd like to think of myself as computer savy but I got lost in the instructions. It was all too hard. The 3rd one I got is called "Subliminal Power". It starts up when you start windows and you just tick which programs you'd like it to run. There's an add on disc that has great music with tones and another 100 programs. Going to see if the "play tennis like a Pro" can help me improve my game so I don't lose 1-6 again! IT'S EFFORTLESS ON YOUR PART! With Subliminal Power software, YOU decide what subliminal messages to use--even write them yourself. With Subliminal Power software, you are your own subliminal message editor, creating your own subliminal messaging modules to help you succeed in any area you wish. ** Lose weight without "going on a diet" ** Quit smoking because you want to ** Study more to get better grades ** Be more confident in your work ** Succeed in relationships ** Change bad habits forever ** Create positive change in your life ** Find motivation to do anything you want ** Much more!http://amindbodyandspirit.com/Mind/Subliminal.phpMon, 02 Feb 2009 21:30:46 +1100 "Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me" Remember that old favorite your parents used to teach you to say when the school bully used to pick on you? “Words will never hurt me?” Words are the most powerful thing any of us have. Words start wars, words can pick you up when you are down, words can tell somebody how you feel about them, words can both start and end relationships, communicating with words can be very powerful. One of our major focus’ in NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) is communication. Did you know there are two forms of communication? That’s right; the first one is called outward communication while the second and most important is called internal communication. Every second of every awakened moment we are doing one of these sometimes we are doing both at once. Now be honest how much of your day is spent talking to yourself? My experience tells me you would spend quite some time in conversation with yourself. My question is how you are talking to yourself is it in a positive way or a negative way? They way you talk to yourself will be indirect proportion to your levels of success. If you are talking to yourself in a negative way i.e. “I am fat and I could never lose weight” or “Nobody likes me because I am ugly and stupid” (imagine that stupid AND ugly can you get any lower?) you are not only giving away your power but you are also running emotions through your body that are not serving you in any way at all. It’s time for a change.... But what to do? I have a belief that you can ask your brain any question and it will always come up with an answer even if there isn’t one. Let’s look at an example above if you asked your brain why am I fat and can never lose weight. Now we both know there is no answer for this question but you will get an answer like “Because you eat like a pig and have no will power” or “Its all your parents fault” In NLP we say "better questions get better answers" try this “How can I lose some weight and keep it off?” or better still “How can I lose some weight, keep it off and have fun during the process?” A different way of putting the same question but now your brain will come up with a million ways of doing this. Another part of NLP is the focus of your thoughts. Do you know it’s impossible not to think about what you don’t want to think about without thinking about it? Try this don’t think of a pink tree, now in order for you not to have thought about a pink tree you would have had to thought about a pink tree. In other words when you start thinking about the things you don’t want in any given situation you are in fact bring them into your life. So think positive it is always there if you look for it and self talk in positive ways, you will be amazed at how these small changes will impact your life and your success!

In life, you are always filled with choices. You may opt to have a pessimist’s view and live a self-defeated life or you may decide to take the optimist’s route and take a challenging and fulfilling life. happy So why nurture an optimist’s point of view? And why now? Well, optimism has been linked to positive mood and good morale; to academic, athletic, military, occupational and political success; to popularity; to good health and even to long life and freedom from trauma. On the other hand, the rates of depression and pessimism have never been higher. It affects middle-aged adults the same way it hits younger people. The mean age of onset has gone from 30 to 15. It is no longer a middle-aged housewife’s disorder but also a teen-ager’s disorder’ as well. Here’s how optimists are in action and researches that back up why it really pays to be an optimist: Optimists expect the best The defining characteristic of pessimists is that they tend to believe bad events, which will last a long time and undermine everything they do, are their own fault. The truth is optimists are confronted with the same hard knocks of this world. What differs is the way they explain their misfortune---it’s the opposite way. They tend to believe defeat is just a temporary setback, that its causes are confined to this one case. Optimists tend to focus on and plan for the 'problem' at hand. They use 'positive reinterpretation.' In other words, they most likely reinterpret a negative experience in a way that helps them learn and grow. Such people are unfazed by bad situation, they perceive it is a challenge and try harder. They won’t say “things will never get better,” “If I failed once, it will happen again” and “If I experience misfortune in one part of my life, then it will happen in my whole life.” Positive expectancies of optimists also predict better reactions during transitions to new environments, sudden tragedies and unlikely turn of events. If they fall, they will stand up. They see opportunities instead of obstacles. People respond positively to optimists Optimists are proactive and less dependent on others for their happiness. They find no need to control or manipulate people. They usually draw people towards them. Their optimistic view of the world can be contagious and influence those they are with. Optimism seems a socially desirable trait in all communities. Those who share optimism are generally accepted while those who spread gloom, panic and hysteria are treated unfavorably. In life, these people often win elections; get voted most congenial and sought for advice. When the going gets tough, optimists get tougher Optimists typically maintain higher levels of subjective well-being during times of stress than do people who are less optimistic. In contrast, pessimists are likely to react to stressful events by denying that they exist or by avoiding dealing with problems. Pessimists are more likely to quit trying when difficulties arise. They persevere. They just don’t give up easily, they are also known for their patience. Inching their way a step closer to that goal or elusive dream. Optimists are healthier and live longer Medical research has justified that simple pleasures and a positive outlook can cause a measurable increase in the body's ability to fight disease. Optimists’ health is unusually good. They age well, much freer than most people from the usual physical ills of middle age. And they get to outlive those prone to negative thoughts. Why not look forward to success in all your endeavors? Why not be resilient? Like everybody else you are bound to hit lows sometimes but don’t just stay there. Join the optimist club arry yourself out of the mud and improve your chances of getting back on the right track. And why not inspire others to remove their dark-colored glasses and see life in the bright side? Become an optimist and think positively towards a more fulfilled life.
