Making a Positive Thinking Strategy

Take time out of your day to be thankful for everything that you have earned, be thankful about your health and your current situation regardless of difficult situations. Being thankful will give you the extra energy it takes to create a better thinking style and stronger attitude adjustments over the longer period of time. Have confidence in yourself to be able to discover your strengths amidst adversity, it is not always easy but nothing worth having ever is.
Take time to exercise whether it be dancing, running, playing with your animal, or with your children or just taking the time to park a little bit further away from a building or taking the steps instead of the elevator. Make it up in your mind that you want to train yourself to do harder things, like running and jumping or playing sports. Find someone who will play with you and it can be more fun. Actively find someone who challenges you and pushes you further to be stronger. Be willing to make mistakes, fall on your face a couple times, throw caution to the wind. It is not about how well you do something it is about how hard you pushed yourself to achieve where you went.
Perfection is not possible so forget ever becoming perfect, you are you with your flaws and all, so is everyone else, so don't worry that you are not qualified, qualify yourself, tell your self that you are capable, and believe it.These are the thoughts to think actively set yourself up to succeed don't believe that you can fail, press onward to achieve victory.

learn to live with your loved ones for the long haul

you never know someone until you talk to someone for a good amount of time, I figure it takes a good solid five years to see someone at their best and their worst and the in between, the way they handle money, what they like to listen to, the way they treat their family the way way they handle kids, how they bounce back from depression how they enjoy the joyful times, their goals, their amount of drive how they treat their friends how they work under pressure. I know that you can't figure that stuff out without at least being friends for five years.
 So learn to live and love your friends for the long haul and don't feel pressured to always rush your love.

Friends with Benefits



Adult females and for that matter most females are hardwired to hunger close friendships, and these bonds may supply us with unparalleled advantages. Here, a couple of things researchers have lately uncovered about the mightiness of friendships.

The friendly relationship effect: Mountains turn into molehills

How it behaves: In a field of study published in a psychology magazine, research workers asked participants to stand at the bottom of a steep hill and approximate how hard it would be to climb to the top. Those standing with a supporter or friend estimated the climb to the top to be less steep compared with those who were entirely by themselves.

More than that... The longer the field of study participants had known their supporters or friends, the more gentle they approximated the slope to be.

The friendly relationship effect: Disease turns less lethal

How it behaves: Harvard University research has demonstrated that breast cancer patients with no friendly relationship network are 4 times more likely to pass away from the disease than those with 10 or more close supporters or friends.

More than that... Fields of study have likewise demonstrated that social support may lower blood pressure, protect against dementia, and decrease the risk of anxiety and depression.

The friendly relationship effect: tension feels more manageable

How it behaves: When adult females are stressed out, their brains release the feel-good endocrine oxytocin, which promotes them to bond. (Male brains, on the other hand, are more subject to the effects of the endocrines cortisol and adrenaline, which boost the fight-or-flight response.)

More than that... The female reaction is much more effective in mitigating tension and might be one reason adult females tend to outlast men," says a PhD, professor of psychology at Cambridge University.

All in all friendships are good for us and you should begin working on bettering yours and making new ones today.

How to Wield More Influence



Know What You Want
Have a clear idea in your mind about what to achieve, whether it be changing another person's undesirable behaviours or persuading him to accept your point of view. Fix this idea of what you want to achieve firmly in your mind. Know exactly what you want, and clarify any vague objectives you may have. Clarity of personal purpose is the first step to putting your influencing abilities to work.
Understand Expectations
Have a clear understanding of what others expect of you and what you actually expect of yourself. People often set unrealistic expectations for themselves by gathering up all of the good qualities they see in others, and trying to have them all within themselves. No one expects you to be perfect.
Be Persistent
Resolve to do everything better and be persistent until you attain the results you've been trying to achieve. Anything worth doing once is worth doing again and again. Don't let rejection or any other negative experience stop you. Learn from mistakes, better yourself, and keep on going.
You Must Give in Order to Receive
The old cliché, "there' no such thing as a free lunch," is fact of life. If you want to receive something, learn to pay for it. Some things may have higher prices than others, and some things may have a higher value to you than others. Examine your options carefully and match what you can give with what you want to receive.
Pay Attention to People
People will help you get where you want to go. It will never be easy for you to make it alone. People can teach you and help you become more influential with others. Listen to other people and learn from them.
Expect a Lot
When you expect a lot, you can get a lot. Your expectations of others and yourself will become reality. Whatever you expect to happen will happen. If you push yourself hard, you will start to see results.
Build a Positive Atmosphere
When you create a "win, win, win" situation, you will start to win. When you start to think positively, your life will start to be positive.
Promise a Lot, Deliver More
Promise people a lot, and then give them more. This is the way the highest achievers have made it. Tell people what you will do for them, and then do more.
Give People What They Want
If you want things from others, you must first give. Don't expect others to make the first move - you have to. If you want to get ahead in life and be successful, you must make the first move. Everybody has certain goals and objectives they wish to achieve. If you can help them reach their goals and objectives, they will want to return the favour. Give people what they want and you will always be ahead.

How to Influence People by Finding out What people Need



You will never to be able to control people, but you will be able to let people control themselves in ways that benefit you. If you tell people what to do, they may not listen to you and will probably resent you. You must get people to do what they want to do, while you influence their control over themselves. This post will show you how to do that.
There are two ways to get people to do what you want. The first, behaviour modification, allows you to change a person's undesirable behaviours using positive reinforcement. The second method of influencing is reality modification, and we'll concentrate most of our attention on this. This influencing technique is successful because of the way in which your requests are presented. In this report, I will show you how to get anything. The secret to getting what you want is the way you go about getting it.
Know what people need
There are three main goals people subconsciously seek. They are:
1. Symbolic rewards 2. Material gains 3. Security
Symbolic rewards
We all have the need for symbolic rewards, such as recognition and praise. Everybody wants to feel important and special. The act of praising and recognizing another is a strong motivator. Always reward good deeds with praise, and give positive, constructive criticism for bad deeds. If you are patient, in time you will see the results of your compliments.
Material rewards
Material rewards mean a lot to people, whether they realize it or not. In any capitalist society, a person's status is judged by his material gains. Therefore, since money produces material gain, it is a strong motivator, and its presence can have a strong influence on others.
Security
Everyone needs security and stability. Security is attained when people feel they belong and are needed by others. People want security in their jobs, friends, family, etc. There are many ways to increase other people's feelings of security:
a) Let people know what you have to offer and what you expect from them in return. Tell them why the relationship you have with them is the way it is.
b) Make people feel that they are needed and belong in the relationship with you. Show a need for their presence.
c) Let others know what their efforts are accomplishing and how they are affecting you. Make them feel important and special to you. Show them that their efforts are appreciated.
d) Make sure that parties in the relationship are compatible
Emphasize comfort
Make sure people are comfortable in their relationships with you. If they are not, find out why and do something about it.

How To Get Action By Talking



It is very important to listen to what other people have to say. It is also important for others to listen to what you have to say.
1.Get the Other Person's Attention                
The first thing you must do when trying to make a point is to get the other person's attention. Make sure the other person is listening to you before you begin talking. If the other person is not listening to you, then you are wasting your time trying to get through to him.
2.Make Your Message Understood
Make sure your message can be fully understood by the others person. Don't use language or terms the other person will not understand.
3.Fill Your Message with Benefits
People want to hear what you will do for them, not what you want from them. Fill your message with benefits. The following two sentences show how this concept works. "I can show you how to be a better person if you listen to me" is much more appealing than. "Listen to me because I am smarter than you."
4.Begin Discussions with Agreements
When you begin a conversation, open with something about which you have a mutual understanding and on which both of you can agree. Here is an example of this concept: IF you want someone to turn the lights off when not in use, you should not say, "keep the lights off, you *@$!!"; instead, you should say "We both want to conserve energy, don't we? So could you please turn off the lights when you leave the room?"
5.Give Reasons for Your Requests
Don't tell someone to do something just because you want him to, or because it is a policy or rule. Give him a reason to listen to you. If you ask someone to follow a policy or rule, tell him why you expect him to follow it. Don't just tell someone to do something - give him a benefit-oriented reason for doing it.
6.Changing Subjects
If you are going to change subject during a conversation, tell the listener that you will be moving on to another subject. If you confuse your listener, he may not listen. It is easier for a person not to listen at all than to try to follow a confusing conversation.
These are 6 ways to have better conversations as you can see the benefits from using these you can start using them in your life.


How Listening Helps You Control Others



Listening is one of the most important necessities of human communication. If you don't listen to people, you are missing out on one of the best ways to influence people. People will always listen to you when you listen to them. One of the greatest influencing tools is listening. When you listen to what's on a person's mind, you will find that communication barriers are broken. Even if you think you know what they are going to say, listen to them. If you are a bad listener, people will think that you are not interested in them. People will like you if listen to them. How do you feel about people who listen to what you have to say? Isn't your admiration for them high? Others will feel the same way about you.
Eliminate All Distractions
Distractions inhibit good talkers and listeners. It is important that you remove all distractions when listening to another person. You want to create a very warm and comfortable atmosphere for the talker.
What Questioning Will Do
Questions we ask people arouse their thinking processes. When you arouse people's think processes, you give them the chance to express their own ideas and feelings. The only way you will find out what you want to know about another is by asking questions. If you are able to help people think on their own they will respect you and like you. You have been able to do something for them that they were not able to do for themselves. By listening to others, you also fulfil their need to feel important. Through your concern, they feel special.
Keep the Conversation Open
In order to listen, you must keep the conversation open. Some people won't tell you everything on their minds, so you may have to question them to keep the conversation going. All of your questions should relate to who, what, why, where, when and how.
What Questions Do You Ask?
The questions you ask must have a specific purpose. If they don't, you will lose credibility. You must ask questions the person understands. Don't confuse other people by asking complicated questions, such as questions with many parts. Ask them one part of a question at a time. Try to get others to tell you "why." "Why" is one of the best questions to ask people. The reason for asking people questions is to get definite answers. Your questions should prompt definite answers, and they should discourage others from guessing at the answers. The therapeutic value of questioning is lost when people guess at answers.
How to Resolve an Argument by Listening
I have solved many arguments just by listening. It may be hard to believe, but it really works. It works when someone is trying to get his point across to you, and when he is yelling and telling you how right he is. Even if the argument is meaningless, here is how to deal with the situation so that you come out on top.
The first thing you should do is listen to what the person has to say without once interrupting. This is where your listening skill will come in handy. You should say "yes" or "I understand" occasionally to show the other person that you are really listening. It is important that you agree with the other person's point of view. If you don't think the other person is right, you must at least let the other person know that you understand his point of view. When the other person is finished saying what he had to say, ask him, "what can I do for you?' This statement throws many people off because they don't expect it. You will find, after using this technique that most people give in to your point of view. The reason for this is that all people really want is for someone to listen to them.

8 Secret Ways to Persuade and Influence People



Persuasiveness is one of the most important skills anyone can learn because it is useful in countless situations. At work, at home, and in your social life, the ability to be persuasive and influence others can be instrumental for achieving goals and being happy.
Learning about the tricks of persuasion can also give you insight into when they're being used on you. The biggest benefit of this is that money will stay in your pockets as you realize just how sales people and advertisers sell you products that you don't necessarily need.
Here are 8 of the best tricks to be persuasive and influence others:
1.Framing
Framing is a technique often used in politics. A popular example of framing is inheritance taxes. Politicians who are opposed to inheritance taxes will call them death taxes. By using the word death instead of inheritance, all kinds of negative connotations come to mind.
Framing is quite subtle, but by using emotionally charged words, like death, you can easily persuade people to your point of view.
2.Scarcity
This is one that advertisers use a lot. Opportunities, whatever they are, seem a lot more appealing when there is a limited availability.
This can be useful to the average person in the right situation, but even more importantly, this is a method of persuasion to be aware of. Stop and consider how much you're being influenced by the fact that a product is scarce. If the product is scarce, there must be a ton of demand for it right?
3.Reciprocation
It's the old saying, "Do unto others...". When someone does something for us, we feel compelled to return the favour. So, if you want someone to do something nice for you, why not do something nice for them first. In a business setting, maybe you pass them a lead. If at home, maybe it's you letting the neighbour borrow the lawn mower. It doesn't matter where or when you do it, the key is to compliment the relationship.
4.Timing
People are more likely to be agreeable and submissive when they're mentally fatigued. Before you ask someone for something they might not be quick to agree to, try waiting until a more opportune time when they've just done something mentally taxing. This could be at the end of the work day when you catch a co-worker on their way out the door. Whatever you ask, a likely response is, "I'll take care of it tomorrow."
5.Congruence
We all try, subconsciously, to be consistent with previous actions. One great example is a technique used by salespeople. A salesperson will shake your hand as he is negotiating with you. In most people’s minds, a handshake equates to a closed deal, and so by doing this before the deal is reached, the salesperson is much more likely to negotiate you in to a closed deal.
A good way to use this yourself is to get people acting before they make up their minds. If, for example, you were out and about with a friend and you wanted to go see a movie but the friend was undecided, you could start walking in the direction of the theater while they make up their mind.
6.Fluid Speech
When we talk, we often use little interjections and hesitant phrases such as "ummm" or "I mean" and of course there is the ubiquitous "like". These little conversation quirks have the unintended effect of making us seem less confident and sure of ourselves, and thus less persuasive.
If you're confident in your speech, others will be more easily persuaded by what you have to say.
7.Herd Behavior
We are all natural born followers. It's sad but true. We constantly look to those around us to determine our actions; we have the need for acceptance.
A simple, effective way to use this to your advantage is to be a leader, let the herd follow you.
8.Friends and Authorities
We are far more likely to follow or be persuaded by someone we like or by someone who is in an authority position. Not only is this a good one to be aware of to combat persuasive techniques being used on you, it's also a good one to use on others because you would be surprised how easy it is to get people to like you and establish authority within groups.
There you go 8 “secret” ways to persuade and influence people, use them at your discretion as each situation calls for different techniques. Different environments lend themselves to one or more technique more often so don’t take these rules as dogma, try them all and see which ones work best in certain situations and learn from them.


Why Seek Inspiration



For anything excellent and great that you wish to accomplish in your life, there's one imperative requirement - inspiration. A great inspiration brings with it a wave of power that by itself may propel you over the finish line. Conversely when we're empty of inspiration, everything may appear hard, boring and dull, and we acquire no joy out of what we're doing.

Inspiration is so crucial as it keeps the mind positive and centered on the greater picture. We frequently believe we're in command of our minds and what we think, but even a brief analysis of our thoughts brings out another story: that our damaging thoughts act as a big barrier to our self growth.

The mind is really prone to wavering and doubt, shifting from one way to the other at a moment’s notice. Frequently when you feel a deep inner yearning to achieve something, the mind will initially go along with it, lured by the novelty factor. But, when the going gets fierce and you start to encounter roadblocks in accomplishing your goal, the mind will frequently be the first one to jump ship! By bringing in outer sources of inspiration to your life, you help your mind “see the forest for the trees” and work with you to accomplish your goals.

Occasionally the process of bringing purpose and meaning into your life means you have to boldly step into territory unmapped by most of the individuals around you. You start to explore choices beyond the nine-to-five cycle of eating, working and sleeping, and start to move away towards a deeper sense of being. As many of those around you aren’t as interested as you are in living out your total potential, it's really simple to feel that you're ploughing a lone furrow, and this may make you question if indeed you're doing the right thing . That’s why staying in touch with inspiring individuals and reading inspiring stories is so crucial, as it lets you see that other people have been in same place as you. If they've gone on to accomplish their goals, then why can’t you?

As the mind gets bored of new things really quickly, you perpetually need to refill your source of inspiration:

Having like minded individuals around you can be excellent in that regard - you are able to guarantee that if one individual in the group isn’t feeling particularly inspired, somebody else will be, and their inspiration will act as a lift-me-up tonic. Likewise, together you serve as a valuable source of fresh ideas - when one individual discovers something that works for them, and then he or she may share that with everybody else.

Forever keeping a sense of newness in what you do is always crucial - for instance, to stop my meditation practice from getting dull and uninspired, I frequently add a fresh piece of music to my morning routine, or redecorate my meditation space.

Reading may be a powerful source of inspiration, as it directly bears upon the mind. Reading personal inspiration stories may be particularly powerful, as you are able to put yourself in the shoes of that individual and imagine yourself overcoming those roadblocks.
You are able to utilize the inspiration you have as a launching pad to increase your ambition - your inner yearning for fulfillment. Many individuals who give seminars on success in different areas all state the same thing - that the difference between accomplishing a goal and not accomplishing it is merely whether you desired it badly enough.

The very act of increasing your ambition helps to inwardly move you away from the situation you're disgruntled with, and you feel that inside your heart you're really beginning to bring about the changes that you wish to see in your life.

Putting Things Off




Procrastination is when you get bumped off the “course” you set for yourself for the day. The challenge of outfoxing procrastination is the challenge of resisting the itch to leave your course. This is likewise the challenge of beating blocks, since a block is truly an ongoing procrastination issue that lasts weeks, months, years or decades.

Let’s suppose you planned to be at your PC, working at a project, at 10 a.m. on a Monday morning, but you’re not. How come? The answer may be one or more of the accompanying.

Woke up late.
Scrapped with your lover last night, and continue reliving the quarrel in your brain.
Are too sapped – the coffee hasn’t set in yet.
Are overly hyper – drank too much coffee and can’t sit motionless.
Are net surfing or net shopping.
Are playing Solitaire.
Simply realized that it's highly crucial to work on another project.
Or, if you work in a home office:
Switched on the television set for “a minute” and saw that one of your favorite actors was being interviewed, so you decide to view the interview.
Simply realized that the laundry urgently needs to get done!

These are common things that may throw you off your course. It’s only a partial list; naturally, you may likely add many other entries to it. There are likely 100s of potential “bumps” that may knock you off your course.

Even in moments of non-motivation, act as if you're extremely motivated. This is because of a fantastic thing that behavioral scientists have discovered: that not only do our emotions order our actions, but our actions often order our emotions.

A lot of sales people, performers, athletes and other peak performers formulate a personal collection of tricks, rituals, and physical and mental exercises to help themselves get and stay pumped for their workday. You ought to do the same thing.

Connecting With Self And Something More





For centuries, spiritual precepts have pointed us to the heart and soul as the source of wisdom, truth, peace, and eternal life. We call it the heart and soul because these deeper realities are felt most strongly in the region of the physical heart.

The truth opens up the heart and soul. This capability to sense the truth is something we all already bear. We all have a heart and soul that's already precisely showing us how true matters are.

Once you meet truth, the sense of your self opens up, enlarges, softens, fills out, and relinquishes. The sense of your world is no longer felt to be so confined or little. It gets to be more complete and limitless. The limits soften and fade away, and any sense of deficiency, limit, or deficiency is decreased or annihilated.

A lot of beliefs and suppositions shape and limit our experience of life and connecting and the sense of our self even when we’re not consciously considering them. They're thoughts and concepts that are so deeply trusted that they’re not even questioned, like “life is short” or “I have to have more money.”

Moreover, these notions and assumptions render other thoughts, which add to the momentum of thinking and keep your heart and soul, the sensation of your self, little and compressed.

Make acquaintances with the angels, who while invisible are forever with you... Frequently call them, and make great use of their help and assistance in all your temporal and spiritual matters.

We’re forever in the company of angels whether we decide to acknowledge them or not. They're forever by your side, guiding and protecting you whether you decide to believe in them or not.

Connecting with your angels may be a very rewarding and spiritually fulfilling experience.  you may become closer with your angels, associate with them and gain knowledge, insight, protection, guidance and/or emotional solace from that association.
The fullness of existence is revealed in the small truths that comprise our lives.

Managing Time




A good time manager is likewise thought to be a great leader. How come? Because they take the essential steps toward accomplishing goals for their business. They look around and discover things and areas that need fine-tuning and apply principles toward making them work.

The net entrepreneur can't enjoy any of their business success if they're dropping off customers, running out of time - not being able to bill their customers for that time, or unable to complete their projects.

Being able to successfully handle projects is among the key indicators of a home business enterpriser who manages their time well. Do they manage by crises or by intent? Is it part of their goal to go either slowly or quickly in project management, aiming toward a wanted result?

The affect that this may have on the work from home entrepreneur impacts any potential succeeding business and may likewise taint their net reputation. All of this is tied into suitable and effective time management! Is there an answer for this hurdle?

Time = Management

Make things as easy as possible. This means streamlining procedures and making things work easier. For example, if you take credit cards in your business, make that more available than having to deal with checks that have to be carried to the bank, cashed and/or deposited. If there are steps to a procedure that may be eliminated, do that and watch your productivity zoom.

The more you simplify, the simpler it will be for your business to run. Things and procedures run smoother with fewer steps and decrease the possibilities of mistakes.

All that matters is how you may excavate this hunger and want inside you to inspire your passion and motivational drive that you may ceaselessly nurture, grow and develop.  

Accomplishing any goal and targets calls for ‘getting your hands dirty’; that is, you have to do something and take action on the goals you've set. And you won’t do anything about it unless you're motivated to do so; and you'll simply be dreaming castles in the air with nothing becoming a truth.

Acquiring a better understanding of where your mate is coming from will surely make your relationships easier. Increasing tolerance for our differences doesn't imply passive acceptance of a problematic or emotionless relationship. Rather, a healthy adaptation is based on true insight that helps us to understand our mates better and react in ways that are more loving and will inspire the better in them.

Without the awareness that we're supposed to be different, men and women are at odds with one another. We commonly get angry or disappointed with the opposite sex, as we have blocked this crucial reality. We expect the opposite sex to be more like ourselves. We want them to “want what we want” and “believe the way we believe”.

We erroneously assume that if our mates love us they'll respond and behave in particular ways—the ways we respond and act when we love somebody. This position sets us up to be frustrated over and over and keeps us from taking the necessary time to communicate lovingly about our differences.

Men and women commonly are unaware that they've dissimilar emotional needs. As a result, they don't instinctively understand how to support one another. Men typically provide in relationships what men want, while women provide what women want. Each erroneously presumes that the other has the same needs and wants. As a consequence, they both wind up dissatisfied and resentful.

Next time you're frustrated with the opposite sex, recall men and women are different. Even if you don’t recall anything else, remembering that we're supposed to be different will help you to be more loving. By gradually giving up your judgments and blame and persistently inviting what you want, you may produce the loving relationships you wish, require, and merit. You’ve a lot to look forward to. May you go forward to develop in love.

Mending Emotional Wounds

If you've ever been the type of individual that had a difficult time letting something go? You reconsider each fault and each error, each broken human relationship. We have all been there at a time or another. But it is not a place you wish to stay. Believe in yourself. Have Faith that all matters are working for your good. Take time to mend: it's stated that time mends all wounds. That is not inevitably truthful. It requires time and work to manifest healing. It's essential to grieve: Grief is a part of the mending procedure. Let yourself go through all the phases of grieving. Disbelief, natural depression, bargaining, resolution and choler are a few of the steps to over-coming. Letting anger work for you: angriness may be a favorable force, helping you to recognize that you are a worthwhile human, worthy of happiness. This is good as it means you're ready to quit weeping and start to reconstruct you life and self-regard. Accomplish something special: Go on a trip with individuals you love and feel like are supportive. Escaping from a terrible situation, will help you gain a fresh perspective and become regenerated. Forgive yourself and attempt to forgive the individual that's hurt you. They might not merit forgiving, but you merit the mending and the freedom you'll acquire by doing so. Pray: When we're hurt it impacts more than just our minds, but our bodies and spirits in addition. Take time to become hushed and pray. Tell the higher power all about how you feel. Laughter is like medication for the soul. Listen to your favorite music, and make a playlist that makes you smile or watch videos that make you laugh on youtube, when you are down you can listen to your favorite playlist. Laughing feels great and releases endorphins. You're on your way to getting better than ever and will be a more substantial individual.

I'll say a little about me. I am in my early twenties and I am a follower of Jesus Christ. I have ran for track and cross country and wrestled in High School. I believe that it is important to think for yourself and not rely on what everyone else says to be true, although I believe that learning from others is just as important. I like to learn about psychology and politics because it gives me something to understand the people who attempt to run the world a little more. In my life I want to accomplish many things such as raising a family, having a fulfilling career, owning a company, being an entrepreneur. I also love to help people out when I can, I love to give to people it is very fulfilling to me. My purpose for this blog is to inspire people and to be inspired by people. I am hoping to inspire as many people as possible. My email address is wol244@email.vccs.edu
