It’s a scientifically proven fact that mankind uses only about 6% of our brains. Albert Einstein supposedly used 10% of his. That leaves an awful lot of untapped brain power. Consider what we’ve accomplished with the little bit of brain power we’ve been using since the dawn of man. Is it so hard then to consider the possibilities of what we could achieve?

LOA or the Law of Attraction which promotes optimism about life, it functions on the philosophy that we could be able to select what we should be and how we are going to handle the strength of our clairvoyant powers. Taking the approach that we should capable to lead our psychological abilities and motivate our minds to the goals we wanted to achieve and conquer them.

Being able to get what you want for is not as easy as ABC, you have to motivate yourself because people that believed in this concept also believed that the world shapes them and they do not do the otherwise. The confusion is that they think that they are identified by their actions and not by their thoughts, but what about thoughts being the root or our actions?

If our thoughts cause us to act, and that action results in obtaining our goal, can we not say our thoughts were responsible for the results? The results of our actions are determined by our thoughts. Whether they’re conscious or not, our thoughts do determine what and who we are.

Because our thought process is constantly working, the Law of Attraction is constantly working as well. Many of our thoughts are at the unconscious level, so we’re not always aware of what type of energy those thoughts may be creating.

Based on the Law of Attraction, what you think and believe would come to you. It is like becoming a magnet and you attract all the things that you are thinking. It also applies with thinking negative thoughts. If you believe that something bad or think about scary things all the time then expect that it will come knocking to your door. That is how it truly works with LOA whatever or whichever you will think of would be on your way.

The unconscious mind is truly unconscious because it does not know whether it’s giving off good or bad energies. It just goes on with the way it thinks. There can be no distinction that you can find between the thoughts that are coming from it. The magic for you to be able to have the positive aspects of LOA is that you should be able to make your mind focus on something that you really want to have.

What is your focus right now, the things that you want or the things that you fear? Do you still see yourself entertain negative thoughts? This is how it goes, you wanted something very much and then you feel like you kind of not be worthy of that so that would become an energy which will be released. The Universe will also feel that you are not worthy of that also.

Being careful with what you are putting your energy with would make you replace those old habits you do. If you are more aware then you would be able to change that and make your thoughts focused onto something.

Changing our day-to-day behaviors might be easier than previously imagined. By meditating on and repeating motivational and inspirational quotes, we are better prepared to alter our thought patterns, behaviors also, change our lives.

Here’s how it’s done.

If we believe something to be easy, we find little, if any struggle in accomplishing it. However, if we imagine something to be hard to accomplish, then our struggle becomes more apparent. In fact, if we imagine that it is difficult to change a specific behavior, then we will always find experiences that will justify that belief.

Take this for example. We wake up one morning and decide that:

“This is the day I start dropping pounds. When things get difficult, I will not reach for junk food, but instead I will focus on something else to keep my mind occupied. It’ll be tough at first, but I’m going to give it a try.”

If you continue with this thought pattern and belief, don’t be surprised to find yourself struggling more often than not. Why?

If we look at this example closely we find a couple of thought patterns and beliefs already in place. We have determined to do something good for ourselves, but we do ourselves a disservice by choosing certain negative thought patterns, beliefs and words that go along with it.

We have said,

“When things get difficult….”

(This is already assuming that there will be difficult moments! Strike one!)

“It’ll be tough at first…”

(This is already assuming it will be difficult at first! Strike two!)

“…but I’m going to give it a try.”

(Remember the movie “The Karate Kid”…”There is no “try”, there is only “do”. Strike three!)

Now there are hundreds of products out there that will assist people in slimming down. Some, if not all of them, may work for various people at various stages of their goal. But for many people who have convinced themselves that slimming down is difficult, some products may fall short when our thought patterns are stronger than our desire to alter.

Here is something that I’ve done to alter a behavior I no longer desired.

I recently lost 20lbs in about 12 weeks. I didn’t like the way I looked, felt or even thought for that matter. I needed to change and take some action towards it.

First, I realized that I had to change my way of thinking about slimming down. My old thought patterns were no longer working for me. My thoughts were like little tiny pictures that I projected in my mind of how heavy I was. I no longer wanted these pictures or thought patterns a part of my life. I had to choose a thought pattern and belief that would be easier to think about.

I chose this thought,

“Losing weight is easier than I thought.”

Perhaps not the most ideal for all but it worked for me.

Secondly, I chose a word I wanted to focus on for that day, week or month to help me in accomplishing my goal (Start with just a day, or just an hour for that matter. Keep it simple.) The word I chose needed to be in relation to the change I want to make. For example, I chose the word “FOCUS”, as I felt that that’s what I needed to think about most of time; focusing more on shedding pounds than gaining it. Choose any word as long as it relates to your situation. (Attitude, Energy, Action, Believe…)

Following that, I scoured the Internet for motivational and inspirational quotes that resonated within me that related to that specific word I chose. Quotes that I could remember, especially ones that really spoke to what I wanted to accomplish.

But here’s the most important part.

I needed quotes that were powerful enough to alter my thought patterns the moment I read them. Quotes that REALLY spoke to me when I my eyes fell upon them. Quotes that forced me to pause and think for a moment. Quotes that had that extra “edge” where my mind said, “Yes. This is one.”

These are all signs of a quote that held power for me. I “focused” in on the following quotes.

“All that we are is the result of what we have thought.” Buddha

“The only way to discover the limits of the possible, is to go beyond them into them impossible.” Arthur C. Clarke

“It’s not what you achieve in the end that matters, it’s who you become in the process.” Author Unknown

In fact, I found dozens of quotes that I resorted to from time to time, but these three I always came back to. They spoke of who I was, what I wanted to accomplish and who I wanted to become as I worked towards my goal.

I wrote them down. I carried these quotes with me constantly. I read them and meditated on them whenever I had the opportunity to. At work, home or at the gym (yup, I finally got myself to exercise, primarily by focusing on Arthur C. Clarke’s quote!), I focused on these three powerful quotes to help me FOCUS on what I wanted.

Because I changed my thought patterns, over time, I can honestly say I am 20 lbs lighter and a whole lot happier. I can honestly say I am 20 lbs lighter and a whole lot happier. Yes, I’ll be the first to admit that attaining the goal involved more than just thinking but it all began with my thoughts. The thoughts then permeated into my actions. (Now I need to FOCUS on maintaining that weight, so for me a whole new thought pattern begins.)

Here are the three steps again:

1. Decided to change your way of thinking about a behavior, making it easier for you to think about it. Phrase it in a simple way.

2. Choose a word to focus on to alter that behavior for a period of time.

3. Find a minimum of three motivational or inspirational quotes related to that specific word that are powerful enough to alter your current thought patterns the moment you read them. Meditate on them and repeat them, silently or out loud, every chance you get.

Be patient. Stick with it. Give it some time.

Why do you think companies offer a 30-day money back guarantee? They know that if you do something for 30 days it becomes a habit and you no longer need to return it! (Learned something, huh?) Give it time.

The first step to what you want to accomplish is changing your mind and the thought patterns and beliefs associated with your behavior. Thoughts are the precursor to action, meaning that thoughts occur before any action takes place. That’s what needs to be changed first. Your thoughts.

It worked for me and I hope this inspires and motivates you to realize your goal.

Think positive.

Today we live in a fast-paced world. Things happen so quickly that more often that not, we do not have the chance to react to the things thrown at us. We somehow lose the ability to think things over in favor of lightning-quick decisions.

But it should not be so. Every one of us needs to slow down a little from time to time and be calm. Otherwise, stress will build up and will affect how we deal with the people around us, not only in the workplace but also at home.

The practice of meditation is a way for us to be still for a while and let our minds become focused until we become calm enough to deal with the daily pressures of life. Some may think that meditation is a completely religious practice. While it is true that a lot of religions, especially Eastern ones, take meditation as an integral part of their practice, it is not necessarily the case. In fact, more and more people who are not necessarily religious get into meditation.

People practice meditation for a variety of reasons. While we already mentioned that it helps us become still in this fast-paced world, other people meditate for health reasons and to attain a higher state of consciousness, among others.

So if you think that life is stressing you out, its probably time for you to slow things down a little bit. Your mind is probably too distracted with so many things to consider and to think about. Meditation can help you calm down and let you be stress and worry-free.

People encounter stress everyday, some do at work or school, others at home. While they are usually able to cope with stress, sometimes the burden simply becomes too much that people break down because of it.

There are three stages in which people undergo when stressed, according to the General Adaptation Syndrome model deliberated by Hans Selye. The first stage would be the body would be under a condition of panic because there is an awareness of danger and will release “cortisol.”

The next stage makes the body incapable to manage the stress until it becomes useless. Then the body will come to a point of break down because the immune system cannot take anymore all the body is undergoing. This will trigger the body to be able to have sickness because it has no power to fight the sickness anymore.

One way that will help a person to manage all the things that make him anxious and stressed out is to engage into meditation. This is one of the best ways to make yourself be ready with all the things that you are going through.

Reducing the levels of stress is not the end of everything, practicing meditation could be a greater help to develop your health and be away from ailments. This could help people not to get easily sick because if a person is stressed this would make the body exposed to different sickness.

Whenever you feel like you are up with the pressure around you then, it’s time to give yourself a break and meditate for awhile. It won’t be the answer to the problems that you face but at least you won’t be popping out with all the congestion that you may ever feel. One thing that you should be able to have as a person who meditates is that you follow a proper breathing. It is very essential if you meditate.

If you do not know the correct way of breathing then you should be prepared to learn that because it is the main reason why a person can be relax. The proper breathing can be identified if you are breathing through nose while the diaphragm expands and letting it out through the mouth.

If you are taking things slowly then your heartbeat would slow down, too. That is one of the reasons why you somehow become relaxed. If you breathe, you will feel that you are focused on one thing and that is to breathe the proper way. You will really feel the air filling up your lungs and passing through nose and letting it out on your mouth.

While this may sound easy, it can be quite challenging when done for the first time.

To do Feng Shui one needs specialist tools and the standard ones would be the compass as well as the bagua. The bagua , a type of map or chart that relates the different areas of your life within the eight sections of your living space. Through the help of this bagua map and also a compass you’ll be able to figure out how to emphasize as well as locate the zones inside your business office or maybe home that require immediate attention in order to be enhanced by Feng Shui practice.

To the ancients particularly the Chinese, Feng Shui appeared to be mystical. But to us Feng Shui could be explained by way of a discipline of science known as quantum physics.

Let’s look at one of these scientific findings regarding Feng Shui:

The instant you enter a room with good Feng Shui, your brain changes from topsy-turvy beta waves to trance-like alpha waves.

Actually, i know you would say: “It doesn’t make sense that only by walking into a room your brain waves switch instantly simply because someone did Feng Shui on the room”. You’re dead wrong. It has been scientifically confirmed that is what actually happened.

Scientists hooked a volunteer up to a mobile EEG machine and then brought him in to a room without having Feng Shui activations or cures. Then they brought him in to the exact same room except on this one the principles of Feng Shui had already been applied. They observed that the particular beta waves concerning chaos began disappearing within just a few seconds. The brain began to access alpha waves. It absolutely was automatic. Simply by being in a room with good Feng Shui, the mind began to perform at high levels. Now this presented undeniable evidence how the energy of our environment has a profound effect on every one of us as individuals.

Quite a few people have the ability to see the actual energy flow such as the Feng Shui guru, Marie Diamond. This lady can literally see this flow just as the water moving in a river. For instance, when she looks at a spiky plant, she can see the energy shooting from the leaves. Thus having any spiky plant well behind your couch will have that energy piercing through you and yes it impacts on your health.

Therefore it can be concluded that although a normal individual won’t be able to see the actual energy movement he could nevertheless take the main advantage of Feng Shui for his own benefits like improving his health and his relationship with the people close to him. His improved brain state makes him a self-confident and positive person.

Thus always make sure that your room no matter whether at home or at your place of work is feng-shuied so that you’ll be a better as well as healthier person. Well, hopefully.

When managing stress, it is true that prevention is better than cure. What are the common causes of stress? A change in work pattern/lifestyle, rush hours, and heavy workloads, high expectations upon oneself, financial problems, and having to readjust to new life happen to many of us everyday.

There are various categories of stress symptoms. Common stress symptoms include migraine, fatigue, insomnia, high-blood pressure, loss of appetite, muscle cramps, hair loss, and irregularities of menstrual cycles in women.

There are also emotional symptoms of stress. When you are easily upset or angry, have extreme mood swings, are hostile, withdraw from other people and are always anxious and depressed, you should try to relax and manage your stress before things get out of hand.

Other common stress symptoms include forgetfulness, poor judgment, having a disorganized life, negative self-conception, feeling unmotivated, having negative views about many things, and lacking interest.

Stress symptoms can be identified in school children too. You will know that the child is stressed when he/she exhibits behavior and clues such as declining school grades, no effort to join others in a group but rather withdraw from other, no interest to participate in school activities, absenteeism from classes, escapism, vandalizing school properties, concentrating poorly in class, breaking school rules, smoking, and disrespecting friends and teachers.

Can you identify which are the ones that you often experience? Stress management varies with different stress symptoms. Counseling usually works with almost all kinds of stress symptoms. Sometime, medication is also required when necessary, either by seeing a doctor, or using herbal remedies depending on the level of stress. But first and foremost, the things that really matter is that we develop positive thinking in oneself, live one day at a time, exercise regularly, release the tension away, get plenty of rest, and enjoy what we do.

Angry children have the same amount of rage as adults, but children have less self-control. Angry children may start spitting, throwing objects, vandalizing things, harming pets, or running away from home. Anger management issues in children are cause by parental neglect, family conflict or dysfunction.

Angry children are denoted by a sulky behavior, notorious attributes, angry comments, withdrawal from family members and playgroup, and of course, a bad temper. This type of child behavior would need early diagnosis, anger management training, or special intervention to help children cope and become adjusted to a normal level of emotion.

How should we deal with angry children? Here are some suggestions that can guide us, hopefully providing stress relief solutions:

1. Consult an anger management specialist to get advice regarding whether a child might benefit from attending counseling or group therapy. Parents must work closely with their child’s teachers and provide assistance by recognizing and avoiding triggers that could lead to their child’s rage. This would require diplomacy and discretion from both the parents and teachers.

2. Provide daily quality time to share thoughts, experiences and express moods in a quiet place, without intrusion. Help the child to realize how important it is to be able to control anger, and let him/her know about the consequences he/she will face in his/her future as an adult if he/she doesn’t learn to control their emotions. Don’t wait until the temper explodes. Work together to prevent anger in the child and to find ways to relief his/her stress.

3. Search the Internet for useful information about anger management in children. Also, always refer to the school teachers or principal for information on the progress of the child’s behavior in school. Above all, remember to hug the child and let him/her know that you love him/her, listen to what the child has to say, and learn what his/her concerns are.

Stress relief management for children is something that you need to help your child with, as he/she cannot be expected to be able to cope with such a problem on his/her own at such a young age. As parents, try to understand your child, and instill positive behaviors and thinking in them.

Sometimes, it is not necessary for any stress input to trigger stress in us. We often make ourselves stressed without even realizing it – doing things in haste, rushing to get things done, leaving things until the last minute. Here are seven tips for stress relief that you can practice at work or ant home.

1. Live one day at a time. Do one task after another instead of taking off with all of them at a time. Taking on too much often does more harm than good. Finishing one task at a time is more manageable and will also motivate you to keep working.

2. Be grateful and thankful for small blessings. How many people in this world are given the responsibilities like yours? You don’t have to face war, famine, hunger, illness, bad economy and unemployment, unlike 250 million people on Earth. Therefore, smile and face the challenges ahead.

3. Take slow, deep breath at beginning of each day. Repeat this several times. Think about the goal that you want to achieve for the day. Are you up to the challenge? Believe in yourself! The most important key for stress relief is your inner strength, physically and mentally.

4. Sit down for your meal and focus on it. Chew it well. Chew longer if you’re having steak. Stress relief happens as you focus on your meal and relax. Rushing during eating can make you choke or feel ill. Enjoy your meal. Be human.

5. Forgive those who sins against you. Learn to let go. Bury the hatchet. Life is too short to bear grudges. It takes 44 muscles in your face to frown, but it only takes 4 to smile. So lift an arm and pat the back of somebody to settle old scores and shrug it off.

6. Enjoy your journey to work. Drive there early to avoid rush hour traffic, turn on the music, and sing out loud. Whatever your method, it should be something that will lift up your spirits.

7. Enjoy your journey home. If you’re stuck in traffic, don’t sulk. Smile to the drivers next to you – it might make them (and you) feel better. You might even think of what you’d like to have for dinner. Chew on chewing gum. Listen to music. Ensure your safety by avoiding calls on the hand phone during driving. After all, arriving home safe can be a relief too.

Biofeedback is another technology that evolves to help detect stress and facilitate in stress reduction. Biofeedback is a powerful stress treatment based on scientific observation that humans have natural abilities to control some of their body functions. People are trained on how to control their blood pressure and heart rate (blood pressure and heart rate will increase when we are stressed).

Examples of biofeedback therapy being used to help during stress reduction are:

* the ability to change hand temperatures by several degrees * altering and modulating your brain waves * reducing the frequency of asthmatic attacks * alleviating allergic reactions * managing pain * preventing migraine * reducing irritable bowel syndrome, tension headaches, and strokes

The biofeedback process actually makes use of a special tool that has sensors, which are used to get a reading on skin temperature, muscle contraction, and brain waves. The training begins by using a trial-and-error method, where eventually the person under treatment should be able to learn to control his/her responses to stress.

There are actually several types of biofeedback machines used to provide information regarding areas in your body affected by stress:

* Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) measures skin’s electrical conductivity as relative to its sweat gland activity. A lie detector is a type of GSR machine. When you lie, your palm produces sweat caused by anxiety, stress and nervousness.

* Electromyogram (EMG) is used to measure the tension in the muscles. Two sensors in the form of electrodes are taped onto the skin over the intended muscles for measure (for example, facial muscles). If there is any tension detected in the muscles, the device would beep, buzz, or flash a colored light. EMGs are also used to treat muscle pain, body aches, ulcers and asthma.

* Electroencephalogram (EEG) monitors the activity of the brain waves. It is also used to regulate the activity of the brain waves and relieve anxiety, stress, and insomnia.
