Find Inner Peace away from Chaos

Life can be  hectic and full of stress, if we don’t stop now and then to take a few minutes for ourselves. With the invention of computers, and the internet, our work lives were supposed to get easier, but it’s gotten busier and more fast paced than ever before!

Originally,  computers were supposed to allow us to get the same amount of work done in half the time. That idea went out the window when we realized we could now get twice the work (or more) done in the same time.

Now our world has become so fast paced that it’s hard to keep up. If you don’t stop for a moment now and then, you can begin to feel as if your life is descending into a chaos. Luckily, there are ways to deal with these overwhelming feelings and put some order back into your life.

Here are a few tips on how to turn your busy life around:

1. Take a break. Give yourself a chance to take in everything going on around you. Even if your break is a nice hot bath instead of a shower, it can help.  Read more... (709 words, 1 image, estimated 2:50 mins reading time)

Here are a few reflections on success. Take a break from the internal struggle and be open to  a new way of thinking and doing.

*********************

Even if I think I’m going in the wrong direction, I can find another route to success.

If I steer my vessel in the wrong direction, I can find a map and chart out a new course.  Stopping is not an option. I can find my way as long as I keep focused on where I intend to go.

Success is a journey, not a destination. That is why I strive to make each step count. A positive attitude helps me move forward and, even when I am unsure of where I am, I am not lost. Instead, I choose to become a trailblazer. The generation coming behind me will have access to another route thanks to my resolve to stay the course and forge a new path.

Thanks to all the internet marketers who came before us who paved the way by developing systems for us to follow. All we need to do is learn from their teachings and from there we can develop our own. We don’t have to take all the risks by starting from scratch. That has  already been done for us. All we need to do is learn from those who are already successful doing what we would also like to do.  Read more... (427 words, estimated 1:42 mins reading time)

Do you feel like you are always talking yourself out of success? As soon as you start to set goals for yourself, do you suddenly have nagging thoughts about how you aren’t up to the task or how you simply aren’t qualified to carry it through?

If you have ever experienced either situation, you need to change the way you respond to your inner dialogue. Instead of obeying your negative commands, you can use positive self-talk to counter the negativity and overcome nearly all anxious thoughts.

Setting Goals and Sticking to Them with Positive Self-Talk

Are you initially filled with excitement when you first set goals for yourself? Are these thoughts then followed by self-doubt and self-defeating thoughts that stop you in your tracks before you even get started?

It can be difficult to make the most of your life when you are constantly talking yourself out of being a success. It can be frustrating and discouraging to have these thoughts constantly plaguing you. Many of us, in fact, don’t even realize we have them! All we know is that we don’t have the confidence to stick to our plans and reach our goals.  Read more... (670 words, estimated 2:41 mins reading time)

I attended the Wealthy Warrior seminar presented by T. Harv Eker; held in Phoenix, Arizona,  March 30, 2009. I am sharing with you a few of my notes.
I found his information to be an excellent perspective on how to succeed at this time in our economy.

What is a Warrior? One who conquers. Wealthy Warrior is one who conquers oneself. Money is a result of how we think. What we think about expands in our lives, like attracts like. What are we focusing on? Do we watch the news like CNN (Constantly Negative News?) Are you focusing on negatives in your life? Or are you creating ‘your own economy?’ Don’t give up on your dreams right now.

Words about the USA Economy
There is a general economy and my economy. Economic trends have always gone up and down. This is a fact throughout history. Warren Buffet says that he has been waiting for this day for 10 years.
This economy had to happen. Gas, food and housing were selling for stupidly high prices. People were spending 80% of their income on basic needs. Thank goodness that all changed.  Read more... (625 words, estimated 2:30 mins reading time)

I have studied 100′s of books on personal development over the years and one of my favorite authors is Brian Tracy. Tracy is a well known author, business trainer and motivational speaker. His background is in sales so many of his topics are about developing yourself to be not only a better person but to improve your skills in sales and in business.

Tracy had a technique of self evaluation that he used in his teachings to help people to develop qualities, attributes or skills that they feel to be their weakest skill set. Think about this statement for a minute; ‘Your weakest skill is determining your current income.’ How could you double your income by developing that weak area of your life to make yourself more effective?

A couple of posts ago I discussed Communication as the #1 skill I believe that you should develop to be successful as an online entrepreneur. In this post I will list 6 other skills that I feel are important to your online success.

As you read through the following list, you might want to take a personal inventory or an honest evaluation of your own skills. Notice if you are stronger in some of these areas and weaker in others.  Read more... (987 words, estimated 3:57 mins reading time)

Last week in my Mastermind class we had a very fascinating discussion regarding the  subconscious mind.

We were discussing the idea that every thought that enters our conscious mind is recorded or filed away in our subconscious mind and can be recalled later.  Our thoughts stored in our subconscious minds help to form our self image. These thoughts, whether positive or negative, stored in our subconscious mind, will influence the actions we take and the decisions we make in our lives.

We also talked about the idea that other people may have the ability to pick up on our thoughts, and that our thoughts may influence those around us.

Now, this is a scientific discussion that I am not going to venture into for this blog; but if this subject interests you, I would like to direct you to a website I found that goes into this subject in great detail.

It’s called the Super Mind Evolution System. At this site they discuss the technology they use to reprogram the subconscious mind, as well as the technology that can be used to program your dreams to heal your mind and body.  Read more... (406 words, estimated 1:37 mins reading time)

This is a shameless plug for someone whose work I think everyone needs to know about…

Nick Williams’s book – The Work You Were Born To Do – has made a big impression on my life… Every time I meet a challenge along the way, I still pick up that book, and I immediately find a quote or a passage which reminds me why I decided to start my own business and what following your heart is all about.

Anyway, Nick is on an ambitious mission to get the essence of his message – that we can all create successful businesses around work we LOVE – out to as many people as possible…

… and in order to do so, he’s turned his signature book – The Work You Were Born To Do – into a fantastic e-course.

I’ve been recommending people buy his book for some time now and it just got easier. Nick is now offering this great course totally free of charge on his website!
