Some people are instinctively honest and open; some would say that these people are too open and trusting and in this way leave themselves open and vulnerable to others who are tougher than them. Other people are more guarded and watch what they say and do around others and either keep themselves to themselves or only
Building confidence make you feel taller and stand taller. This is a fact. The body language of confidence is portrayed in standing straight and tall, walking with a spring in your step, easy eye contact and an altogether comfortable image. People can feel "on a high" with confidence or they might describe themselves a
Have you watched the movie about Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean? It is an interesting movie and, like most people who push past known boundaries, she was a very intriguing person. She followed her dreams, and certainly her belief was that there are no boundaries to one's dreams.
What you do today inevitably affects what happens in your tomorrow, although at the time you can have little idea of the extent of that impact. We spend much of our lives planning for our future, imagining what we would like to achieve and hoping that we attain our goals and live our dreams. r
If you are feeling dissatisfied and unhappy, where do you start in your search for happiness? Due to the way in which the human mind works, the more you think about being unhappy the more unhappy you become. It is easy to become enmeshed in a vicious cycle of negative and unhappy effect. If one cannot think about their
Your mind and body work together in many subtle ways. Inevitably your mind has a huge impact upon your health, and you can direct your mind to think in a way that promotes good health and also improves the effect of medical treatment or surgical procedures. r
How many times has your heart been broken? The answer to this question will go some way towards predicting how easily you might recover or otherwise from your broken heart. How badly your heart has been broken will also assist in predicting the difficulty or ease with which you recover. r
Almost every child is furnished with a copy of Aesop's Fables to read and appreciate during the course of growing up. Some of those fables we remember vividly whilst others fade to the dim recesses of the backs of our minds. Some we appreciate immediately whilst others don't quite hit the mark until some later point in
"When you use your mind, it's a useful tool, when your mind uses you, you're a useless fool." A. Bryce I can across this quote the other day and it made me wonder how much our minds do use us instead of the other way around. The fact is that we know so very little about how our minds actually work, even though we lea
Many people think that they will find happiness when in fact they reach out in search of pleasure. They think that in finding pleasure they will also find happiness. But there is a distinction between the two and pleasure does not always (or even often) lead to the happiness. Happiness is experienced in the moment, whe
We hear a lot about ensuring that all sorts of things are sustainable. It's a real buzzword these days. You hear the terms sustainable energy, sustainable business practices, sustainable everything. In the business arena sustainability is a key concern. But you do not tend to hear very much about relationship sustainab
I wonder whether you noticed an article by the columnist David Brooks in the New York Times entitled the "Sandra Bullock Trade". It certainly caught my eye as it focuses upon the interactions between personal and professional success with levels of happiness. Over the last few decades much research has been carried out
The sight and sound of water is most often associated with feelings of tranquility and peacefulness. Most of us love to sit and watch the gentle ripple of waves on the ocean or the shimmering of light upon water. Similarly the sound of water in a stream tends to have a soothing effect. r
It might seem that the answer to this question should be rather obvious. Surely you see yourself when you look in the mirror? But this is not strictly true. What you see depends upon how you look at yourself and what you look for in yourself. It depends upon how you view your world. Some people like what they see when
There are some things in life, which we would like to happen, but which we at the same time feel uncertain about. The majority of us like to know, and to be assured, about important things, but it would seem that part of our learning curve in this life is to discover ways in which to deal with this type of uncertainty.
Listening to a hypnosis download may prove to be your elusive key to a guaranteed good nights sleep. Myriad medical research supports this fact. There is little worse than going to be feeling tired, if not exhausted, but then finding that sleep eludes you. As you toss and turn you start to feel too hot and then you fin
If you are suffering from your own toxic thoughts or happen to be the focal point of another person's acidity you will appreciate how uncomfortable either of these circumstances can make you feel. The former you can more readily control; or rather, you should upon the face of it find it easier to control your own thoug
Happiness is a state of being. You are happy or you are not happy. The question is what can you do so as to place yourself in a position whereby you are more likely to be happy than otherwise. Happiness is in fact a feeling that you are totally in control of, so long as you appreciate this fact. Your own thoughts, wh
Any phobia causes unnecessary discomfort, some more so than others. To suffer from a phobia means to experience abject fear in certain circumstances. In the case of claustrophobia this means that small or enclosed spaces are what constitute those circumstances. r
Anger is a natural response that we all experience. Some of us feel this emotion more frequently than others. Similarly, some of us control our emotions better than others. Anger leaves a bad taste in your mouth in the sense that it transmits a lingering feeling of negativity. The angrier you get the deeper the emoti
I was reading something yesterday which reminded me just how many people purchase goods, be they books or audio courses, designed to assist in self development or success systems. This is a huge business; millions of people buy these types of products, which is indicative that there is a clear need for them. Very few o
Confidence and self belief allow you to do more of what you want to do. Are you content with every aspect of your life? Is there a part of your life which you would like to change over or to improve upon? Many people suffer from negative effects carried forwards from past experiences which haven't been comfortable; thi
How well do you cope with pressure? Do you deal with it in a relaxed way or do you find yourself getting wound up? The key to dealing with pressure is finding a different way in which to focus upon it. Do You Work Well Under Pressure? Pressure can take many forms and have an even greater variety of effects. There's emo
When you want to lose weight or to eliminate certain food items or food groups from your day-to-day diet you have to be good at controlling the way in which you think about such food. A good mental strategy towards your eating plan and diet is required. r
Most guys would love to have the "gift of the gab" when it comes to approaching girls with the intention of dating. You'd love to be able to deliver all of those funny and effective pick-up lines in a smooth and cool manner. But the reality is that very few guys manage to do this naturally. Your greatest fear is of mes
Recent research by scientists at Johns Hopkins University has indicated that patients who undergo painful cancer treatments can experience pain relief by the very simple task of surrounding themselves with tranquil pictures of nature. A scene which was used frequently in this particular study was of the Victoria Falls.
I have had a wonderful day today outside in the sunshine. It feels so wonderful to bask in the warm rays of the sun on an autumn day. The day began cool and crisp, but as soon as the sun came out a warm glow spread across the outdoor vista of the golf course. The trees looked almost magical in the morning light, and th
My mum cuts articles out of the newspaper for my brother and I and gives us quite a stack of reading most weeks. She is, as my brother says "spot o "; she knows exactly what will be of interest to us and she saves both of us trawling through papers in search of what is relevant. She does, however, also include items wh
If your thinking leads to the doing that you need to do, then there is no need to stop thinking! But if your thinking about dieting does not lead to the relevant necessary eating habits it is perhaps time for a change of thought. r
Having a strong character is synonymous with winning and succeeding in life. This involves a high degree of self-awareness and a strong self-belief. Hypnosis can help people to develop both these attributes. Whenever you read books relating to the mental attributes associated with winning or success in life you always
I had a great session with a wonderful Medium the other day. I have felt as light as a feather ever since and yet very much rooted firmly to the ground as well; I guess the overall feeling is one of believing that I am exactly where I'm meant to be and also know where I should be going...and of course a reinforced feel
The health benefits of sleep are both varied and well known. We all need to have an adequate amount and quality of sleep so as to be able to function as we should on both mental and physical tasks. Sleep is probably the best beauty treatment available to a person, allowing you to literally look younger overnight. Thi
I noticed something the other day on MSNBC.com relating to weight loss. Various reasons were provided for why so many people fail to lose weight successfully. The biggies all focused in upon ones mental approach to weight loss as opposed to changes of pure habit. r
Some people feel broken and empty when they are not involved in an intimate relationship, but these feelings may in actual fact get in the way of you finding your soul mate. The feelings of loneliness and being "broke " can effectively emit negative vibes which make you vulnerable to stepping into the wrong relationshi
This is probably the most powerful affirmation you can make, the most empowering thought to hold in your mind or comment to hear from someone whom you look up to and respect. This belief opens up doors which would almost certainly otherwise be closed, locked and sealed. r
We are constantly bombarded with information about vitamins, supplements and complementary health ideas. Whether we act upon that information or not is a matter of individual choice. Some people are more health conscious than others. We have our own individual attitudes on the subject and prioritize complementary healt
You will often hear professionals say that when you deviate from your own tempo you get into trouble. They say this because it is a very true fact of golf. We do each have our own rhythm and tempo and it is hard to change that. Not only is it difficult to change your natural tempo, it's also unnecessary. We might adm
Listening to the television commentary about the first round of Masters 2011, I picked up on an observation regarding Rory McIlroy. The point made was that he was expected to do well, especially so as he was "not caught up in mechanics". McIlroy has an easy and effortless looking swing in which he trusts. He's not sp
There are a lot of myths about hypnosis, many of which instill great and unnecessary fear in one who could otherwise benefit greatly from its therapeutic potential. These fallacies range from a fear of being left in a hypnotic trance for days on end, to thinking that only those who are weak willed could be hypnotized,
Opportunities happen for those who seek them out whilst opportunities are most often missed by those who do not look. If you are the sort of person who listens to an inner voice that tells you that nothing ever comes your way then beware, because you are stopping yourself from becoming successful in the things that you
If you don't know which way to go, then stop for a few moments and listen to your heart. There are many times in life when you come to question where you are meant to be, what you are meant to do and what your real purpose in life is. In reality this only happens when your mind is too busy thinking about your options t
Wouldn't it be nice if you could get your mind to do exactly what you would like it to do? For the majority of people, to have absolute and complete focus upon your goals at the drop of a hat is recognized as a pretty useful asset. Most of us know how we would like to think about things and how we would like to feel ab
Being stalked on facebook is not a pleasant experience. I wonder in actual fact how many people have been stalked on facebook? When one thinks about stalking the first scenario which pops to mind is one of a man obsessively following a woman with some sort of physically abusive intent. r
It's that time of the year when New Years Resolutions are embarked upon and this for many means attempting to change bad habits and become a little healthier and stronger. Gym memberships, exercise programs, detoxes and diets are often perceived as the mainstay of this agenda and people cross their fingers and hope tha
What can't you say no to? Some people cannot say no to chocolate whilst others cannot say no even when another person asks them to do something which is over and above the normal call of duty. These are two very different types of situations. r
Some people are really comfortable around needles, whilst others are overcome by a burning desire to run away to another planet when faced with the spectacle of a needle. You can also be perfectly ok with needles in one context and yet not at all comfortable when that needle is encountered in a different situation. You
I received an e-mail from a fellow golfer today asking for help in slowing down their back swing. This gentleman had been trying, without success, to say to himself "slow" and "stop" when at the top of his back swing. His assessment of the situation was that the speed of his back swing was creating bad shots. This is o
I had an interesting experience yesterday when I settled myself down to write in detail about my goals for the year. I had five or six things which I had decided were really important to me; important enough to me to create a hypnosis recording for myself to use to ensure that I fully focused upon them with all of my m
I think my personality suits a Mediterranean time-table. For whatever reason, I really do find that taking a siesta in the afternoon is a very civilized way in which to progress through ones day! I know that some people find it simply doesn't suit them to have a short snooze during the day; they wake up feeling tired a
During the last two or three decades there has been a huge movement which encourages everyone to put themselves first. You hear many a person encourage another to look after number one or else nobody else will do so; or perhaps you will hear said that you have to look after yourself or you won't be able to look after a
