According to the results of a survey I just sent to my database, the number one thing people want to know is how to attract more money using the Law of Attraction. With that in mind, here are a few choice quotes to stimulate your thinking/attracting:
"The sole purpose of money is to express appreciation." - Arnold Patent, Money
Think about it. When you write a check to pay a bill, do you grumble and complain, or do you feel grateful for whatever service you received? I admit for the longest time I would feel lousy when I paid my bills. Now I don't. Per Patent's insight, when you feel appreciation, you begin to attract more to appreciate. To attract money, appreciate money and what it brings you.
"Middle-class people talk about things that came from a millionaire's idea." - Keith Cameron Smith, The Top 10 Distinctions Between Millionaires and the Middle Class
I love that quote, too. It makes me stop and think. Whenever I find myself talking about some product or service I greatly admire -- such as a Bugatti Veyron super car worth over a million dollars -- I stop and remind myself that it was just an idea. Someone created it. I'm now desiring it. But if you step back and look at the creative process, it was somebody with a dream, who took action, that got me and everyone else talking. To attract money, be the doer of what others talk about.
'You have no idea what's going on, but you're in charge." - Guy Monroe, Austin Vocal Lab
That quote might seem out of place in the world of attracting money, but consider: most of your life is directed by your unconscious. Ultimately, you have no idea what's happening, or why. Yet in the midst of the seeming chaos is a captain who can steer the ship through the storm. That captain is you. When you declare where you want to go, you direct the ship, the crew, and the sail to go in that direction. This applies to money, too. Who's in charge of your money, anyway?
"Prosperity allows us to turn our attention to more transcendent matters - to yearn for lives not just of material comfort but of meaning, balance, and joy." - Gretchen Rubin, The Happiness Project
I love Gretchen's book, The Happiness Project, and encourage you to read it. For now, her insight about money being a tool to elevate your thinking and desires is right on the money (no pun intended). When you think of money as bad or materialistic, you limit how much you can attract; but when you realize money is a symbol and a ticket to a higher state of being, you open the doors to attract all you'll allow.
Just food for thought…

Feeling Overwhelmed? - 7 Steps to Bring Peace of Mind
If you are feeling overwhelmed in your personal and/or professional life, it can take a toll on your overall joy and well-being.
At the end of the day, aren't we all looking for peace of mind and to feel like your day was worthwhile, that you helped another and that you did the best you could do?
I'm sure there are many days you feel that way, and yet other times you feel weighed down by everything.
If you are feeling overwhelmed, ask yourself these questions:
Am I overextending myself, or trying to get too much done all at once?
Did I take care of everyone else, or try to please everyone and forget that I'm on that list of people as well?
Was I pushing myself too hard, or not enough?
Do I feel behind on many things, or there aren't enough hours in a day, or that I haven't felt up to doing anything, and now I look at my list of things to do and it seems too much?
Am I handling my emotions and my time the best that I can, or are they handling me?
If you are overwhelmed, you may be feeling exhausted. You may notice your emotions are all over the map, or running higher than usual. Perhaps you just don't feel like yourself, or it all feels like too much, or you feel weighed down by everything that's been going on or things you need to get done.
Since most of us, for the most part, are awesome multi-taskers and generally have a fairly good handle on our lives and emotions, we may not recognize the pressures we've been under and the toll it's been taking until something happens to open our eyes.
The good news is, whether you are heading into the storm of overwhelm, or are already feeling snowed under, there are definitely things you can do that can help you regain your peace of mind.
What can you do?
Step back. Since you may be running on over-drive, it's important you slow down for a moment and take notice of where you are and what choices you have. Step back before you take the next step forward. Unwind, take a walk, do some yoga, meditate, listen to music, look at nature, go for a swim, breathe, etc. When you are calmer and more relaxed, it's always easier to see what your next steps are.
To-Do List. Lists are a great way to keep you on track, but make sure you prioritize them from what's most important to what's least important on the things that have to get done. We often have things on our lists that don't HAVE to get done right away, and they can wait until another time. You don't have to vacuum the dust bunnies today.
Ask for help. This is a tough one for a lot of people, but it's also very important especially when feeling overwhelmed. You don't have to do go it alone or do everything yourself. You don't have to be superwoman or man all the time. When someone helps you or is there for you, it can take a lot of pressure off and bring you support and comfort during a stressful time. You are there for others and it's okay for others to be there for you.
Make time for you. Perhaps you are last on your list right now, but believe it or not giving back to you can replenish your energy and spirits. In the long run, you will learn how and to pace yourself and therefore, be able to handle things better and be more productive or centered.
Say no. Just like asking for help, saying no can also be difficult. If you try to please others all the time, or you are doings things that aren't best for you right now, or you are taking on too much, then before you know it you are feeling overwhelmed. Saying no doesn't mean you are always going to say no, it just means at this time it's best for you and the situation to say, "Thank-you, but this time I'm not able to do that or, I will take a rain-check."
Check In. When was the last time you checked in with yourself? How are you doing right now? What can you do to ease things or feel less stressed or emotional? We generally know what we need to do, or what will help, but we don't check in to hear what it is, or if we do we don't listen. Listen.
Let go. Letting go isn't always easy because we like to think we can control as much as possible. Knowing what's important to do and what we "truly" have to do helps in letting go of other things. It's okay to let go.
Remember, you don't have to do everything, know everything, and please everyone. Know what's truly important.
These techniques assist you in seeing what's creating the overwhelm in your life and what you need to let go of to bring back peace of mind into your life.

Revisiting Diet Menus And Plans - The Cretan Diet
The Cretan Diet was inspired by food consumption in Crete, one lovely Greek isle. It is based on a regime rich in vegetables, fruits, grains, olive oil, some dairy products, fish, and seafood. Foods rich in saturated fats such as red meat, cold cuts, sunflower seed oil, and butter and rapidly digested sugars including pastries, ice cream, and carbonated drinks should be avoided as much as is possible.
Cretan dieters eat a lot of unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic and alpha-linoleic acids that are thought to help prevent cardio-vascular incidents. It is recommended that you eat fish two or three times a week. Wine is said to have several positive properties such as reducing infection and being an antioxidant. So dieters are encouraged to drink a small glass of red wine with lunch and dinner. While wine is recommended, it is by no means mandatory. Dieters should get 25 to 30% of their calories from lipids, 55% from glucides, and 15% from proteins.
Limit the consumption of animal products. Saturated fatty acids, found in animal products, increase the level of bad cholesterol and may harm arteries. This diet calls for reducing their consumption. Products based on goat and sheep milk are encouraged. Increase your consumption of fruits and vegetables because they offer vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fibers. You are suggested to consume 400 to 500 grams, about a pound, of fresh fruit daily. Wine has several positive properties such as anti-infection and antioxidants. This diet calls for a small glass of high-quality red wine during the meal. However, wine is definitely not mandatory.
The Cretan Diet claims to reduce the possibility of some cancers, to fight against cardiovascular problems including high blood pressure, and to slow down the mental degeneration of the elderly. Among its advantages are the wide variety of permitted foods. Wine lovers will be happy wiith the Cretan Diet's policy on wine. A disadvantage perceived by some is the lack of meat.
Here is a sample menu For breakfast enjoy a bowl of oatmeal with goat's milk, an apple, and tea or coffee. For your lunch start with grated carrots, and then have a soy steak with bell peppers and boiled potatoes. Dessert is strawberries. A glass of red wine. Supper is grilled sea bream accompanied by steamed spinach. Dessert is fresh pineapple. A glass of red wine.
A quick look at the Amazon web site showed a few books on the Cretan diet. One paperback recipe book, and I don't know why, cost an amazing $133 new.

Dating Chat
There are many ways of attracting attention to yourself and meeting person, to make an appointment, to make a declaration of love, but what to do if when looking into someone's eyes your voice trembles, and you become redder than the ripest strawberry. The answer is simple, dating chat will save you, this is the easiest way to say without ceremony what you think about.
E.g. here href="http://www.datingchating.com/" target="_blank">DatingChating.com people gather for communication, flirt, love. Dating chat is a good way to find friends, pen friends, relax and get a positive charge of energy, of good spirits. Loneliness is not sentence. You choose the suitable nick-name that characterizes you more vividly, and make a step towards the communication with people. It's for you to decide whether to be honest, frank or to start with lie and fictitious sex. But to become acquainted with the help of lies is not the best way to confidence and the heart of the person who probably will be able to take place near you in the real life. People from different countries, cities, of different social status and age visit dating chat. The person you will become acquainted with can possess good qualities, but nobody is insured that the chatter on the other end doesn't possess negative emotions, slander.
href="http://datingchating.com/all_user.php?com=now" target="_blank"> Visit the profiles of all registered users and choose for yourself the most acceptable variants which are congenial to you, closer to you by interests, views on life. But no words entered to entry field won't tell better about what makes a person tick, what he/she concerns him/herself with, what he/she has at heart. The direct communication will help to lift the veil of mystery from the person you want to meet. If you plan serious relations with the chatter don't protract. Nothing bring people together more than real communication. The first step was made, you met each other, so confusion off! Now everything depends on what kind of persons you are in real life, if you will be able to continue this wonderful moment of approach, extend it. Dating chat is a real chance not to stay lonely, even if you don't have time to communicate and you are so busy that you have only a free short hour in the evening.
Profit by it; don't watch TV, changing channels, but talk to friends and beloved. Write a few good words, and you will find out with surprise that many persons will comment on it with a smile. Don't be a cold fish, don't disregard the people who saluted you in response to your greeting, because open and attractive person will never stay lonely. Dating chat is a different life, interesting and rich, if it has something in common with the real life. Become friends, love, communicate, but don't forget the persons who are with you. Perhaps that girl or that guy from the neighboring porch will turn out to be the funny chatter. It's not a sin to love, it's of worth to be friends. So what does prevent you to click with mouse a few times and find yourself there where you are loved, waited and valued?

Diet Plans And Menus - Revisiting The Delabos Diet
The Delabos Diet was created by the French doctor Alain Delabos in 1986. This diet is based on the chrononutrition principle; which says that foods must be eaten at the right time of day according to a biological clock. You should eat fatty foods in the morning, heavy foods at noon, sweet foods in the afternoon, and nothing or very little in the evening. Eat breakfast in the first hour after getting up, wait five hours for lunch, and another five hours before eating a sweet snack. Wait for at least 90 minutes after your snack before eating supper. If you aren't hungry skip supper. And don't eat anything at all for at least 90 minutes before going to sleep.
It is important to eat the right foods at the right time. Breakfast means bread, cheese, butter, and sometimes bacon and eggs. For lunch eat meat or fish, and perhaps starchy foods and green vegetables. Eat fruits or fruity foods and vegetable oils such as peanuts, avocado with dressing, or olives at snack time. For supper you may eat green vegetables, fish, seafood, or white meat in small quantities. The Delabos Diet quite clearly defines portion size based on your height. You will really need to consult the documentation to know exactly what to eat. For example, dieters eat 1 to 4 eggs. Two meals a week have no restrictions.
The Delabos Diet has the advantage of being balanced. Because dieters are allowed to eat everything, they can stay on course for a long time. Among the disadvantages for many is eating cheese in the morning. This is really a complicated diet and dieters spend a lot of time calculating portions. To get you started on the calculations remember that there are 454 grams in a pound.
Here is a two sample menu: Menu 1 Breakfast: 60 to 140 grams of blue cheese, 50 to 90 grams of whole grain bread and 10 to 20 grams of butter. Tea or coffee. Lunch: 150 to 290 grams of beef stew and from one half to two bowls of French fries. The mid-afternoon snack is a rounded tablespoon of peanut butter and 250 milliliters of creamed chestnuts. Fast for supper. Remember, it takes just about 30 grams or milliliters to make one ounce.
A quick look at the Amazon web site revealed only two Delabos diet books. They were both in French and the used copies were even more expensive than the new ones.

Why Hypnotherapy Has Such Extraordinary Benefits
Copyright (c) 2013 Joanna Malinowska
How is it possible that hypnotherapy can help with such a wide range of issues, starting with annoying habits and behavioural issues like nail biting or waking up late for work through serious mental and physical illnesses, like depression, debilitating anxiety, eating disorders, asthma and even cancer? How could it be that it also allows achieving goals, finding hidden talents and mastering new skills to perfection? Could it be possible that the same therapy can help you complete a university degree, improve your golf, quit smoking and build loving and lasting relationships?
We usually to seek a different doctor or mental therapist for different problems and it requires a lot of learning and experience to be able to medically diagnose and treat a serious condition. Is it possible for any therapist to have such a wide range of knowledge and experience?
The answer is yes and no. The therapist's experience and knowledge grows with every client, and since hypnotherapy is a short term therapy and the goals are reached in just a few sessions, a professional hypnotherapist usually sees many more clients than an average psychologist or counsellor, where the therapy may take years. The diversity of treated issues is also wider, and so is the knowledge and experience of the hypnotherapist.
However, the real power of hypnotherapy lies in its essence, in the fact that it uses hypnosis and allows the client to draw from unlimited internal resources. The hypnotic state is a phenomenon when the mind operates differently. We usually use knowingly just the surface of our mind, while all the habits, fears and subconscious beliefs are hidden deeper, not normally accessible to the logical, controlling part of the mind.
Our conscious mind is like the CEO of a huge organization, so it can focus on what it needs to do instead of reinventing every action over and over again. Once we learn new skills or how to act in a specific situation it becomes deeply imprinted in our subconscious mind. The subconscious mind works like "autopilot", we can act automatically and we do not need to think about that. A very good example is driving. When you start learning how to drive, you are conscious about each move, you need to be aware where you keep your hands, your feet, where the mirror is, how to switch indicators etc, but then it becomes automatic, you do not need to think about that.
The normal state of mind is perfect for the normal operating mode; but it may become a problem when we want to change our habits or subconscious beliefs. Quite often the subconscious behaviour or belief comes from early childhood, when our brain does not have the capacity of an adult. It may also be some traumatic experience from adulthood, when we are overwhelmed and frozen from fear. We do not understand, so we are afraid, we learn to cope and adapt, to avoid or run away and it becomes an automatic subconscious response. It may become a phobia or just biting nails, but also depression, a serious physical illness, eating disorder and many forms of mental disorders.
The conscious mind is not fully aware of the subconscious processes. For example, you may be suddenly hit by a terror when you stand up and start speaking in public, or have this empty feeling in the stomach and you keep eating when you are not hungry, or you are sad and crying not knowing why. You may try to reason and control it with your conscious mind, and it is possible to make changes this way, but it could take years of analysing yourself, working on yourself. The positive change may be so slow, that many people start believing that it is impossible to change.
To make the desired change we need first to free ourselves from the subconscious limiting beliefs and behaviours and then to find new solutions to master them to this level when it becomes part of us, an automatic response, the new habit, which operates on the subconscious level.
The hypnotic state allows this specific kind of focus so you can explicitly access the parts of subconscious mind where you need to make the change. The point is that when you can access the roots of the limiting subconscious beliefs, when you can revisit the moment when your unwanted behaviour has been formed and look at that through the eyes of an informed adult mind, from the safety of the relaxing hypnotic chair, supported by your therapist, the old fears just melt away and stay in the past where they belong. You are free and open for better solutions.
The hypnotic state is also brilliant in the resolution mode, after you solved your limiting fears and beliefs. Our subconscious minds hold memories from every moment of our lives, not only bad memories are stored, but also all the resources, all the good examples, brilliant ideas and creativity, every joyful moment we had, every loving smile we received, everything we ever learned. When in hypnosis you can draw from these resources with unlimited creativity to find new desired solutions and behaviours and rapidly implement them to replace the old habits.
The whole process is very rapid, because in hypnosis, in the deep trance, you can access with absolute precision the parts of subconscious mind which need to be changed, you can rehearse the new behaviour like in an accelerated dream, building it into a new habit in just a few sessions.
The extraordinary benefits of hypnotherapy go even beyond removing the obstacles and creating a desired lasting change. There is also this empowering realisation that you used your own power, your own resources. You realise that your unique being is much more than what you thought it to be. Now you know the power of your own mind and this enables you to face any future challenges with courage and trust.

How is it possible that hypnotherapy can help with such a wide range of issues, starting with annoying habits and behavioural issues like nail biting or waking up late for work through serious mental and physical illnesses, like depression, debilitating anxiety, eating disorders, asthma and even cancer? How could it be that it also allows achieving goals, finding hidden talents and mastering new skills to perfection? Could it be possible that the same therapy can help you complete a university degree, improve your golf, quit smoking and build loving and lasting relationships?
We usually to seek a different doctor or mental therapist for different problems and it requires a lot of learning and experience to be able to medically diagnose and treat a serious condition. Is it possible for any therapist to have such a wide range of knowledge and experience?
The answer is yes and no. The therapist's experience and knowledge grows with every client, and since hypnotherapy is a short term therapy and the goals are reached in just a few sessions, a professional hypnotherapist usually sees many more clients than an average psychologist or counsellor, where the therapy may take years. The diversity of treated issues is also wider, and so is the knowledge and experience of the hypnotherapist.
However, the real power of hypnotherapy lies in its essence, in the fact that it uses hypnosis and allows the client to draw from unlimited internal resources. The hypnotic state is a phenomenon when the mind operates differently. We usually use knowingly just the surface of our mind, while all the habits, fears and subconscious beliefs are hidden deeper, not normally accessible to the logical, controlling part of the mind.
Our conscious mind is like the CEO of a huge organization, so it can focus on what it needs to do instead of reinventing every action over and over again. Once we learn new skills or how to act in a specific situation it becomes deeply imprinted in our subconscious mind. The subconscious mind works like "autopilot", we can act automatically and we do not need to think about that. A very good example is driving. When you start learning how to drive, you are conscious about each move, you need to be aware where you keep your hands, your feet, where the mirror is, how to switch indicators etc, but then it becomes automatic, you do not need to think about that.
The normal state of mind is perfect for the normal operating mode; but it may become a problem when we want to change our habits or subconscious beliefs. Quite often the subconscious behaviour or belief comes from early childhood, when our brain does not have the capacity of an adult. It may also be some traumatic experience from adulthood, when we are overwhelmed and frozen from fear. We do not understand, so we are afraid, we learn to cope and adapt, to avoid or run away and it becomes an automatic subconscious response. It may become a phobia or just biting nails, but also depression, a serious physical illness, eating disorder and many forms of mental disorders.
The conscious mind is not fully aware of the subconscious processes. For example, you may be suddenly hit by a terror when you stand up and start speaking in public, or have this empty feeling in the stomach and you keep eating when you are not hungry, or you are sad and crying not knowing why. You may try to reason and control it with your conscious mind, and it is possible to make changes this way, but it could take years of analysing yourself, working on yourself. The positive change may be so slow, that many people start believing that it is impossible to change.
To make the desired change we need first to free ourselves from the subconscious limiting beliefs and behaviours and then to find new solutions to master them to this level when it becomes part of us, an automatic response, the new habit, which operates on the subconscious level.
The hypnotic state allows this specific kind of focus so you can explicitly access the parts of subconscious mind where you need to make the change. The point is that when you can access the roots of the limiting subconscious beliefs, when you can revisit the moment when your unwanted behaviour has been formed and look at that through the eyes of an informed adult mind, from the safety of the relaxing hypnotic chair, supported by your therapist, the old fears just melt away and stay in the past where they belong. You are free and open for better solutions.
The hypnotic state is also brilliant in the resolution mode, after you solved your limiting fears and beliefs. Our subconscious minds hold memories from every moment of our lives, not only bad memories are stored, but also all the resources, all the good examples, brilliant ideas and creativity, every joyful moment we had, every loving smile we received, everything we ever learned. When in hypnosis you can draw from these resources with unlimited creativity to find new desired solutions and behaviours and rapidly implement them to replace the old habits.

Know the Facts of Online Dating
Online dating is getting very popular and if you would like to join this world, there are a few things that you should keep in mind. As with the other aspects of life, you will have more success if you follow the rules of the game and treat other people with respect. Some people may not realize these rules but in the end it will mean the difference between you getting the date and continuing to be single.
If you find an attractive picture online, it is ok to tell the person that you think they are nice looking. However looks are not everything. If that is all that you have to say online, then it is going to be better not to say anything at all. Read the person's profile so that you can say something more than just a comment about their looks.
You can read the profit in all situations. Always look at a person's "My perfect date" section to see what he or she is going to be interested in. most people are looking for others within a certain age range and distance from home. They might also have preferences about children, smoking, religion, looks, race, and sexual preferences. If you are 33 and someone online is looking for a date between 20 and 28, he or she is not looking for you so you need to pass them by.
Do not send an initial email if you did not read the profile. Ask general questions like "How are you?" and " What can you tell me about yourself?" can be annoying. Be more specific and ask the other person questions that can be answered in an email back to you and your questions will show her your personal interests.
The most important thing is if another person is not interested, move past them. Sometimes people will not answer your messages on purpose. Online is the acceptable way of showing that you have no interest. Do not repeatedly send messages that ask a person if they got your previous message. They got them and they are simply not interested. If someone writes you back and indicated that there is no chemistry for him or her, let the issue go. There are millions of other profiles for you to pursue and someone is going to reply. Writing back to that person and telling them that they are close-minded, mean, or something unpleasant is not going to help and it is against the websites rules. Use your common sense and do not do or say anything that you would never do or say in real life. Online dating can be more fun for everyone if you follow the etiquette rules.

Do Women Like Alpha Males?
Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet. In astronomy, it is the brightest star in a constellation. In common parlance, alpha means to be the first.
Alpha males are guys who seem to be leading the pack, the hunter, the ever-reliable male god. They are all around us, in the ranks burly blue collar workers to the impeccable corporate leaders. So why do women like alpha males; or do they?
Women do not only like alpha males; they adore them! Alpha males are the stuff that women's romantic imaginations are of. These are men who get women's attention wherever they go.
The attraction lies in the power seemingly possessed by alpha males. It's not really just about the money but it is about strength in character and the ability to be respected by his peers.
A woman defines an alpha male as someone who is vocal about what he wants and who does everything to get it. An alpha male is not just cocky our loud, but there is a semblance of authority in his voice that seems to attract others, male or female. An alpha male is filled with confidence about his looks though he may not be handsome and is confident about his intelligence though he may not be a Wharton graduate.
In the animal kingdom the alpha males are those who lead the pack with an aggressive behavior. The animals have their own social structure where the alpha or the dominant males get to mate with the females, with the principle that the alpha males will most probably produce better offsprings. Same goes for the alpha males in the society of humans.
Women describe alpha males as those with an innate superiority and who literally leads the pack. These are males who are aggressive and assertive despite their limitations.
To be able to understand an alpha male, one has to get to know his characteristics such as but not limited to being:
Born leaders
Alpha males are born to lead the pack. They are known to be the peacemakers and the ones responsible for stopping fights after and aggression usually started off by a bully. These men are usually dignified men who have leadership capabilities and they sometimes rule their world. An alpha male is a no nonsense leader who cannot be dictated upon and who stands by his principles.
Gandhi is an alpha male. He is a charismatic leader who refused to be pressured into giving up his cause. He was able to win his battle by espousing non-violence. Microsoft czar Bill Gates is an example of an alpha male who continues to change the world and its people. There are many alpha males in a variety of settings, all of whom have provided inspiration and great leadership to their sectors. Most alpha males are attracted and married to strong and outstanding women.
Confident
Alpha males are so sure of themselves but not to point of being cocky. They have high self esteem, believing that they have the power to do anything they want and to achieve their dreams. They know they have that special something within them but they do not boat nor talk about their strength.
Women are attracted to the alpha because of the confidence that emanates from them. This confidence manifests itself in the way he carries himself and the way he deals with others. This confidence is shown in the way he does things and treats other people. The alpha male's high self esteem makes him confident that he can get the best girl in town. The truth is, the girls usually flock around him.
Assertive
Being confident of himself and in what he can achieve, the alpha male is always assertive but not to the point of being pushy. He knows what he wants and how to get it. He asserts his rights and the rights of his friends. This may be the reason why alpha males are so popular with the pack. He leads them and gives them protection. Women love the alpha male for being assertive, of being able to know he can do it and doing something to achieve what he wants to do.
Born leaders, confident and assertive. These are the qualities that make women swoon over the alpha male. Need we say more?

Diet Menus And Plans - Reviewing The Creole Diet
The Creole Diet, based on Creole cuisine, was created by Marie-Antoinette Sejean-Ortole, a professional dietician. It proposes balanced, protein-rich menus in three phases. The initial phase lasts for ten days. During this phase you should eat at least three meals a day, and drink between a liter and a liter and a half daily. This phases includes three shock days in which you eat 300 grams (about 10 ounces) of meat or fish, 300 grams of white cheese containing from 0% to 20% butterfat or two yogurts with a small quantity of light cheese, as much green salad as you wish, and three bowls of green soup or 300 grams of green vegetables. Spread this food over the entire day. You cook the food without any grease or oil, but you may season your salad with a light dressing. Days 1, 5, and 8 are the special days. The menus for the remaining days are very well defined.
Phase 2 lasts for 20 days. Your shock days are days 1, 8, and 15. On these days add 150 to 200 grams (about 5 to 7 ounces) of soy bean sprouts to the previous shock day menus. And replace the 300 grams of meat or fish with 300 grams of fish broth. Once again, the menus for the other days are very well defined. At the end of phase 2 make sure to practice a sport such as speed walking, swimming, or bicycling. Exercise at your rhythm for 40 minutes, three times per week. Phase 3 is stabilization. You are now allowed one or two glasses of wine with meals.
A major advantage of the Creole Diet is that the meals are varied and balanced. Despite the fact that it's Creole cuisine, most of the food is easy to find. One disadvantage is that fruits are absent from Phase 1. And individuals unfamiliar with Creole cuisine will have to learn many recipes. You will also have to locate a book, as discussed below.
Here is a sample menu: Menu (Phase 3) Breakfast is two slices of whole grain bread, a tablespoon of jam, an egg, an apple, and a cup of tea or coffee. Lunch means 200 grams (about 7 ounces) of roast pork, spinach, 150 grams (about 5 ounces of noodles), a yoghurt, and half a cantaloupe. Supper: Grilled chicken accompanied by creole rice, 150 grams of lentils, a non-fat fruit yoghurt and a small mango.
A quick look at the Amazon web site revealed no copies of this book or in fact any book by Madame Sejean-Ortole. Such books may be found on the Internet, but they are in French only.

Playing The Breaks
I am a judgment broker who a lot. I've learned to love the inevitable zero time. In this article, zero time is when nothing is happening, and the world seems to be sleeping. Most businesses currently experience lots of really slow times. Also, with most businesses, from about (for example, 5 in the afternoon until 9 AM) in the morning each business day, and weekends and holidays, the majority of of the stuff that arrives is only garbage. I call these times, the "zero" time, the wonderful opportunity that lets me to get busy and have fun.
I now appreciate the zero. When nothing is coming, I always find something constructive to do. Examples include doing chores, doing maintenance, working on websites and articles, smiling, listening to music or podcasts, watching comedy on the television, meditating, ripping music, petting my cat, eating, listening to phone messages, shopping, sleeping, chatting with friends on forums, relaxing, cooking, cleaning things, ripping or editing music, and more.
Nothing or empty space, the vacuum, the zero, and the void; are not really nothing. As that old Beatles song lyric said: "the void is shining". The amazing zero time contains awesome energy and potential, and is the condition under which the majority of actions occur. Without the void (empty space), there could be no structures, forms, or life.
While the zero time is in effect, an almost unlimited opportunity of potential actions could happen; which include sleeping, eating, learning something, working, shopping, making a backup of the PC, and/or spending some time with your family, pets, or friends.
All of life flashes off and on, either slowly or quickly. Just because the bright sun sets each evening, doesn't mean any of us lose any sunlight. Taking a constructive step is usually a lot preferable to worrying over the fact that nothing is happening right now.
I always attempt to focus on the present, and make "now" the best it can be. When I usually focus on what I do in the now, the long term results comes naturally. I will win in the long term, when I consistently take correct actions "now".
It is right now and the future that really counts. The unique and awesome power in now allows me to work on what is right for now or the future. I always try to think much about our history, or any possible outcomes. I remember my past, however my past doesn't limit my choice of actions very much. Like that Go Go's song lyric said: "You cannot stop the world, so don't let the world stop you".
The full School Of Fish song named "Three Strange Days", starts with the words "I am gonna change how our world affects me; I'm going to dance in the face of all which could be". What happens or comes into your life cannot be guaranteed. What happens, usually happens "Presto", in a part of the awesome "zero" periods.
It's a good idea to stay focused more on the now, and much less on the past and the future. Your chances of bettering the future, can depend on what you make a habit of doing in the many "nows". There is usually something you could do. Mobile devices, computers, and TV entertainment choices; can help make time pass more quickly, and/or some types and tasks of work, much more enjoyable.
Try not to cling desperately to people or things. Make an effort to let everything occur, or help to cause things to occur. Do your best, and then allow the chips to fall wherever they may. In my case, the zero is the time when the lord/universe is saying: "It's your chance to act". The late Alan Watts was amazingly smart, Google him, and on YouTube, listen to him. I agree with around 90% of what Alan said and wrote.

Diet Menus And Plans - Reviewing The Carbohydrate Addicts Diet
The Carbohydrate Addicts Diet was designed by Doctors Richard and Rachel Heller. As its name suggests, an objective of this diet is reducing dieters' dependence on carbohydrates, or in less technical terms, sugars. The body transforms carbohydrates into glycogens and converts the excess into fatty tissue. After a meal containing carbohydrates the blood sugar level increases and insulin acts to bring it down, making the individual feel hungry. By diminishing insulin secretion and so absorbing less carbohydrates the body burns more fat. This diet has two phases, a base phase and a stabilization phase. The initial phase lasts for 14 days but it may be extended for additional weight loss. The second phase also tries to lower your insulin level. It lets you adapt to your new lifestyle. Here are some of the principles.
Phase 1. Reward yourself with a special meal once per day. The selected meal may be breakfast, lunch, or supper. It's a large green salad and a plate, which is divided into three equal parts: protein-rich food such as meat, poultry, fish, cheese, or tofu; vegetables (starchy vegetables such as potatoes are excluded); and carbohydrate-rich food such as potato chips, cookies, fruit or fruit juice, and sweets. By finishing this meal in less than an hour you will maintain your insulin at a lower level than if you eat more slowly. Your other meals should contain half protein-rich foods and half fiber-rich vegetables. Weigh yourself once a day. Phase 2 extends phase 1 and add one of several options that include physical activity, glutamate reduction, stress control, caffeine reduction and others. The list is long and a bit complicated.
The Carbohydrate Addicts Diet has the advantage of reducing some people's glucide dependency. The initial phase is considered easy to follow. A disadvantage is that the second phase is not really a stabilization phase. Constipation may be a problem. From my point of view, the absence of wine in this diet is a disadvantage.
Here is a sample menu: For breakfast enjoy an omelet made with ham and mushrooms accompanied by lean bacon and a cup of tea. Lunch means a chicken and celery salad with zucchini, chicken with olives, and a bottle of carbonated water. For supper indulge in a spinach and cucumber salad, cauliflower, lamb kabobs, and whole grain rice. For dessert floating islands, a light, tasty French dessert based on egg whites.
A quick perusal of the amazon web site revealed a few inexpensive carbohydrate addicts diet books and cook books. Remember, if you want to follow this diet you really must get a book.

How You Can Help Someone With Depression
Having a loved one who suffers from depression can be an extremely difficult situation.
Many people want to be able to help their loved one, but they don't know exactly how to go about it. While you will be unable to clear another person's depression, there are some ways you can be supportive and really helpful. Accept the fact that you, by yourself, cannot make them better - Clinical depression should be treated by a mental health professional. Many loved ones of depressed individuals become frustrated when all of their best efforts don't seem to help break the person out of the cycle of depression. Unfortunately, you alone can't make your loved one better, but your support can be extremely meaningful.
Be there for them - Although you won't be able to make them feel 100% better, knowing that you are there when they need someone to hold their hand, give them a hug, or lend a shoulder to cry on will be very comforting.
Don't judge them - It can be really difficult for a person who has not personally experienced depression to understand. You might be wondering, "why can't she just SNAP out of it?!" or "why is he always looking at everything from the negative viewpoint?" With depressed people it's not something that they can just choose to snap out of. Try not to be judgemental and instead listen and be open to their experience.
Educate yourself - Learning about depression can help you know what your loved one is up against. It will also help you in learning how to best support them.
Be supportive of their treatment - Clinical depression should be treated by a mental health professional, but only the depressed person can make decisions about their treatment. In other words, if your loved one doesn't want treatment right now, there isn't much you can say or do to convince them. You can offer them the names of professionals that can help them, but the rest is up to them. If they have already sought treatment, make sure they know how proud you are of them for seeking help.
Don't compare - Even if you yourself have experienced depression, each person's experience will be different. Comparing what you have gone through to their depression will probably not make them feel better, even though you likely intended it to.
Don't give advice - Though this is a normal reaction when someone you care about is in need, the depressed person may not respond well to being given advice. A better way is to ask them what you can do in order to help. Even if your loved one can't think of any way you can help, they will appreciate you having offered. And, it doesn't have to be a single offer, make sure they understand that you will be there, should they need you. When a friend of loved one is depressed, it's natural to want to do everything possible to help. Even though you can't heal their depression, your support can make a real difference.

How To Handle Holiday Breakups
While most of relationship endings are pretty miserable, those that happen during the holidays may be some of the worst imaginable. This is especially true for the partners that didn't want the breakup. In fact, they usually never see it coming so it hits them like a wall when it happens. Because you would think that waiting a few days isn't that big of a deal, the timing on these breakups can also seem vindictive.
When a holiday breakup happens, you may feel that there's no chance you can have a "normal" holiday. Obviously, you're going to be unhappy and hurt. Everywhere you look may remind you of something to do with your ex and how joyful you used to be. Yes, it may be very hard to enjoy the holidays when you've been dumped by someone with the worst timing in the world. However, there are ways to make it through the holiday season and emerge on the other side somewhat unscathed.
To start with, consider the reason for the breakup. If it was just one of those silly fights that couples have caused by the stress that comes with the happy season, things will most likely be all patched up and fine by Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. Yes, you'll have a few moments in there where you'll be miserable and feel like you want to just die, or you want HIM to die, but once both of you realize what was really going on, things will work themselves out. On top of that, you'll get to have some very amazing make up sex, which can only make the holidays even better.
Now, however, if he cheated on you or has met another person he's serious about, or for whatever reason, he's just not in love with you anymore, those are going to be difficult situations to deal with ANY time of the year, let alone holidays. This is when you need a great support system around you. These can be your closest friends as well as relatives that really appreciate you. Lean on them and accept whatever comfort they're offering. Just remember that it's the holiday season for them, too, and they probably kind of wanted to enjoy this time.
Don't hide up in your room or your home and refuse human contact. This is when you need it the most. It's perfectly fine to grieve, but your goal is going to be surviving a few days before completely breaking down. There will be eleven months and three weeks to do that the rest of the year, if you really want to spend that much time mourning someone that apparently didn't care all that much anyway. Do what you need to do to crawl through those holidays. Keep in mind not to do something totally stupid, though, like indulging in a series of ill-advised one night stands. Stranger sex isn't going to heal you or even put a bandaid on your distress.
One more thing to consider is that you may have hooked up with one of those guys that simply splits up around holidays, or special days, so that he doesn't have to buy gifts. He'll be back right after New Year's if that's your ex. Just expect him to pick a fight again right before Valentine's Day.

Life Lessons: Courageous Living
The first thing we need to do when it comes to living more courageously is to understand what courage is and what it is not
There are a lot of misconceptions around the word, and many of us go through life never really understanding what it means to have courage or to be courageous.
From childhood we have known people who seemed to display courage. They might be real people we know, or simply know about, people who have won through despite the challenges or the odds. Or they might be fictional characters we've seen on television or read about in books. Usually they are people who don't seem to feel the fear that we feel. But if we pause for a moment to refelct, we might come to see that fear itself may not be the entire problem. It just might be our relationship with fear that keeps us from being courageous.
Courageous Preconceptions
Most of us like and admire courageous people. We want to be like them -- or at least feel like them. We want to never have to suffer fear, self-doubt, or anxiety again. The problem is that most of us will never experience this perfect 'fearless' self. That sort of courage might exist in story books and movies, but it is not real.
Psychologists now largely agree that courage is not the absence of fear; it is the determination to take action even in the presence of fear. It is pushing on, despite the fear, because you have a goal that you believe is worth the effort and discomfort. So many people feel bad about themselves for being afraid or anxious. They believe 'courageous' people simply don't experience these emotions. But they do. The difference is that courageous people don't let fearful emotions stop them doing what they want to do. Courageous people do uncomfortable, knee-shaking things all the time, and they, too, feel fear. It's just that they consider their fear and discomfort to be a necessary part of living a full life, and so they push on, in spite of it.
It's normal for anyone to feel a bit anxious on a first date, or with the first kiss. Driving for the first time can be both intimidating and exciting. The first day at school or in a new job can be absolutely terrifying! Yet fear is part of what makes these experiences meaningful. As Mark Twain once said, 'Courage is resistence to fear, mastery of fear -- not absence of fear'.
Normalizing Discomfort
One of the most important things to understand about fear, is that it is never going to completely go away. It's part of every single human being's emotional vocabulary, our repertoire of feelings. Doing something really new, daring, or important, is challenging, and will often bring with it those uncomfortable feelings we call 'fear'.
According to Brené Brown, psychologist and noted TED speaker, when we attempt to suppress one emotion -- such as fear -- we tend to numb all of our other emotions, even really positive ones such as excitement, enthusiasm, and joy.
Simply avoiding fear triggers -- snakes, job changes, public speaking, or a difficult mother-in-law, for example -- is no solution. Run, and you'll be forever running. Instead, Brown encourages people to face their feelings of vulnerability, and see them as a crucial part of being human -- courageous and daring -- even if it means opening up to judgement, hurt or disappointment.
Being daring is all about leaving your comfort zone and jumping into the arena of life. Choosing to live how you want and being yourself can be uncomfortable at times. Accepting feelings of discomfort is the first step towards becoming courageous.
Prepare Yourself
What gives a person courage can be deceptively simple at times. When you are feeling challenged in reaching a goal, realizing a dream, or making a decision (be it asking someone out on a date or climbing Mount Everest), sitting down and scribbling a list of what you need in order to move forward can be really helpful.
If you want to be a writer, and you haven't written anything since high school, then of course writing a novel is bound to feel overwhelming, even terrifying. What about joining a writer's group, or taking a single weekend workshop in writing where you'll meet others struggling with similar difficulties? The trick lies in beginning -- and then keeping on. Take things one chunk, one step at a time. Begin with those first few steps and let yourself be surprised by your own ability. If you're feeling nervous about asking someone out on a date, ask yourself what would help you feel more confident -- a new haircut, your best pair of shoes, a session at the gym? Off the top of your head, what are the two or three things that would make the biggest difference to you feeling braver?
Maybe you need more support, a new location, some more training, or just a new attitude. Perhaps it's something tangible, like equipment, software, clothing, money, or licensing. What are the first things you need to prepare in order to bring just a bit more courage into your life and help you realize your dreams? Don't use this as an excuse for inaction -- rationalizing that you can't do it because you don't yet have this or that. Decide what you need -- and then go for it!
Telling Stories
Our lives can be either enhanced or restricted by the stories we tell ourselves. A single, isolated event that produced feelings of intimidation or fear can alter a person's story, casting him or her into the role of victim, a role in which they live their life believing they are small, afraid and weak. A whole sense of identity can be based on such negative experiences. But it really doesn't need to be this way. It is within our power to change our stories, and we can do this whenever we choose. Here expert hypnotherapy can help clear past programing so that you can move forward, writing your own story.
You are the author of your life. Make a decision about how you want to progress, and who you want to be from now on. When things are getting tough, take another look at your situation, your script. See it from another perspective. Remember to acknowledge your accomplishments, your talents and your gifts. Write a list of the times when you have pushed through in spite of fear or anxiety, times when you acted courageously or in a more confident manner than usual. Is there a pattern? What can you learn from these experiences that you can apply going forward?
In your present circumstance, see yourself now as a person who is doing something (or contemplating doing something) that scares not only you, but possibly other people, as well. Maybe you'll want to overcome your fear of public speaking by joining a group of like-minded people in Toastmasters International, or be really brave and challenge your fear of heights by skydiving or bungy jumping. Hypnotherapy can be really useful here, too, helping you to condition your mind to let go of past experience, face your fears, and live much more in the now. Mindfulness can help, too. How about something a little less challenging to begin with? Learning to cook or ride a unicycle? You get the idea.
No matter the roadblocks, the setbacks, or the anxiety, praise yourself. You are ahead of the rest of the crowd who are not yet willing to try. Consider the worst case scenario, the one where you crash and burn and fail in every possible way. How bad is that, really? What is the positive that might come from that experience? Going there in your mind can de-sensitize the subconscious fear response, lessening the anxiety. This can take the sting out of our deepest fears; it demonstrates that even if the worst came to the worst, life still goes on; we will survive. Ask yourself to think of three or four positive things that you might get from such a worse case scenario that will help you going forward. Mental rehearsal in which you succeed can be a powerful way of conditioning the mind to do just that.
It takes effort to live courageously. It takes practice. Each time you do it you will strengthen your inner resolve, you will win through, and you will grow stronger. Go ahead now -- strike out! You just might surprise yourself.

6 Common Communication Barriers in The Workplace
There are several ways that individuals can go wrong when they're trying to communicate. Unfortunately, the barriers to communication in the workplace could lead to co-worker alienation, misunderstandings, arguments, and failure to make a good impression. Both psychological, physiological, language, perceptual, physical, and cultural barriers may hinder effective communication.
Psychological Barriers
Negative attitude and boredom can influence employees' receptiveness to messages sent. If employees attend a meeting about a company's bankruptcy, their anger or fear may lead them to misinterpret the message being conveyed. Also, communication could shut down when a listener gets embarrassed by what the speaker is discussing. For example, a salesperson can become inattentive due to failure in meeting sales quota. Other professionals in the meeting may also be focusing on on-going tasks and deadlines rather than listening to the comments of the speaker. These situations could result in communication barriers that could be hard to overcome.
Physiological Barriers
These barriers are the characteristics of the listener or speaker that hinder the reception or transmission of messages or information. For example, sleepiness or allergy can make it difficult to focus and be attentive to conversations. Depression and physical pain can also negatively affect the hearing and interpretation of messages. Other issues such as fatigue, emotional distress, and hunger can also affect communication.
Language Barriers
Words can have varying meanings for different people, complicating communication. A security engineer may hear the word "trust" and associate it with a computer system's integrity, while an attorney may think of real property. Language barriers can also be caused by using jargons such as "web 2.0" and "value-add" or discriminatory and insensitive language. Complex sentences, incorrect pronunciation, faulty spelling and grammar, can confuse a listener.
Perceptual Barriers
Employees are used to perceiving things in specific ways, making it hard to recognize new meanings. For instance, a manager who prefers hiring university graduates may overlook the great contributions that can be made by a graduate from a community college. Differing values, life experiences, interests may prevent two employees from perceiving a message the same manner. An employee may recommend solutions that are not sound or correct due to invalid or wrong perceptions. Intelligence and education can also affect people's perceptions, as well as their social and safety needs.
Physical Barriers
The physical communication barriers are the environmental elements affecting the ability of an employee to bring across or acquire information. Any type of noise and loud talking will affect hearing. Also, the mannerisms and overall appearance of the speaker could negatively affect his ability to send his message to an audience. The seating arrangements of the listeners as well as their physical comfort level can also affect communications, since sitting at the back row of a huge auditorium can prevent them from clearly hearing the full message.
Cultural Barriers
These workplace communication barriers go beyond language. Those who speak English with excellence may have different approaches and attitudes that come from the manner they were raised or their places of origin. Typically, a person who's born and raised in the U.S. may have cultural differences from someone from another country. How people react, see, and react to the many things can vary vastly because of culture.

Psychological Barriers
Negative attitude and boredom can influence employees' receptiveness to messages sent. If employees attend a meeting about a company's bankruptcy, their anger or fear may lead them to misinterpret the message being conveyed. Also, communication could shut down when a listener gets embarrassed by what the speaker is discussing. For example, a salesperson can become inattentive due to failure in meeting sales quota. Other professionals in the meeting may also be focusing on on-going tasks and deadlines rather than listening to the comments of the speaker. These situations could result in communication barriers that could be hard to overcome.
Physiological Barriers
These barriers are the characteristics of the listener or speaker that hinder the reception or transmission of messages or information. For example, sleepiness or allergy can make it difficult to focus and be attentive to conversations. Depression and physical pain can also negatively affect the hearing and interpretation of messages. Other issues such as fatigue, emotional distress, and hunger can also affect communication.

Creative Visualization And The Law Of Attraction
You may have heard of creative visualization from interviews with athletes who have used this powerful technique to win more gold medals and titles than perhaps any other single training method. By actually sensing, feeling and being in a perfect race or competition within their own heads, professional and amateur athletes are able to use these mental images to help them prepare for the actual race. What you may not realize is that the technique is essentially the very same as the Law of Attraction as popularised in the film and book, The Secret.
In 1984, Dr. Denis Waitley began using his idea for visualization with Olympic athletes. In his very popular 1986 book, The Psychology of Winning, Waitley outlined how to form and really use visualization as a tool for success. The athletes he coached were so effective in Olympic competition; his books became a de facto standard that even high school athletes have since tried his method.
Of course, really feeling and being in your chosen future demands you spend some time and make an effort to help get the picture solid in your mind, no matter what your goal is. This means not only knowing what you want, but also giving some thought as to how your best future will come about. That doesn't mean you'll know how it will happen, but even just actively imagining yourself achieving your success will help make it happen.
Because it's often easier to envision objects, asking for physical manifestations of your intentions is often a good place to start. The Law of Attraction doesn't differentiate between large and small requests, but human minds do. You'll feel far more convinced of your own abilities to encourage good fortune to come your way when you start small.
What makes visualization actually useful are the little details. One needs to actually see and feel and essentially "be" in your own future. The more detailed your image of the future you desire is; the more likely you are to make it come true. This may involve visiting the objects you desire, or even cutting a picture of what you want out of a catalogue.
For instance, if you want a car, decide what car that is, right down to every detail. Then go test drive one. If you have no idea how you'll be able to afford it, don't think about it - you don't want to re-enforce any negative messages. Drive that car around, then go home, and clearly remember every little aspect of that test drive. Imagine yourself behind the wheel and how good it did and will feel. The more convincing the image, the more powerful it is.

Time Management Tips - 3 Insights To Using Collaboration To Increase Your Priority Power
Time management tips' success depend on your constructive work relationships with others. Collaboration is a complex and highly rewarding skill to master. So when you work in tandem, keep these significant variables in mind.
To combine forces as effectively as possible, think in terms of dependencies. When you do, your Priority Power will rise appreciably.
A. Collaboration, Dependencies and Efficiency
Perhaps you have encountered the project management term, "dependency" before.
In essence, when a task you share responsibility for requires collaboration, the "dependency" is someone outside of your immediate work group who plays an essential role in your achieving your goals. When you prioritize tasks, dependencies must be factored in and accounted for.
For example, let's say that you work closely with a few different departments at your job. You need to establish a working budget every quarter, so you look to the finance department to supply you with accurate figures. Because they generally take about a month to assemble and present you with the necessary data, prioritize your request. Therefore, you need to make it well in advance of your due date. This way, you get the data you need with time to spare.
B. When You Play a Prominent Role In Others' Plans
And then there are the instances when others look to you to assist them in reaching their objectives.
Perhaps your son is counting on you to create his costume for the upcoming school play. To be ready to play his part, he depends on you to do yours. Now without a second thought, you assign this task top priority. Your open-hearted commitment to support your child, and his reliance on you, establish this project's high priority as you create your weekly schedule.
C. The Benefits of Considering Dependencies As You Schedule And Assign Priorities
Thinking in terms of dependencies and consciously welcoming them as you structure your collaborative work rewards you in more ways than one.
1. Chances are that your productivity increases with every incremental step forward.
2. The more you think in terms of coordination, the more understanding you develop of the entire working system. In the same way that defensive driving helps you view the traffic patterns more astutely, you'll find that a holistic overview of your workplace helps you establish more realistic priorities and due dates.
3. Finally, note how staying attuned to others' needs and time constraints often promotes good will and flow. As you understand others' priorities, they may in turn relate with more sensitivity to yours. Your time is enhanced, you become more efficient and effective, and general morale increases.
Remember, there are always new ways to develop more productivity while clarifying important relationships.

Time Management Tips - Use Movement Moments To Create New Energy, Capacity, and Longer Life
Time management tips can rob you of time if you value productivity exclusively. If you habitually spend hours on end seated at a desk or computer terminal, refusing to get up for breaks, you may gain efficiency at the price of living longer.
Recent evidence suggests that the body is poorly suited for prolonged periods of sitting. The American Heart Association's journal, Circulation, has published a report that every additional hour spent watching television daily without rising from the couch increases the risk of mortality from heart disease by 18%! If you sit without moving for four hours running on a daily basis, your susceptibility to death from cardiovascular disease increases by 80%, compared to those who remain seated for two hours straight or less.
This study, notably, used a control group that met exercise guidelines. And one's diet did not alter these results.
It seems counter-intuitive that those who exercise and eat sensibly are so affected. Evidently studies indicate a strong correlation between overall sedentary time and increased blood lipids, blood glucose and fat tissue. And this holds just as true for those who engage in moderate to vigorous activity numerous times during the week.
Happily, you can both guard your health and retain your efficiency with minor modifications. To reverse this effect, you aren't required to exercise for hours on end. Instead, add in "Movement Moments" - just a few minutes interspersed to break up periods of sitting. This shift helps your body convert the cholesterol in your blood from LDL to HDL.
In fact, frequent short breaks spent moving around, stretching and flexing your muscles also contributes to lower body mass index, a smaller waist circumference, better glucose metabolism and lower blood lipid levels. And it's completely free!
Movement Moments - The Time-Wise Solution
Every 45 minutes or so, try creating brief Movement Moments for yourself. Use a timer if that helps jog your memory. At 45-minute intervals stop what you are doing, get up, and move in whatever way feels good to you. (Do this in privacy, if you can, so that you don't feel constrained.) Try these, and add your favorites:
9 Finest Fast & Free Exercise Bursts
1. Lift weights, large or small
2. Ascend and descend stairways.
3. Dance
4. Jumping jacks
5. Perform leg lunges
6. Leg lifts or situps
7. Stretching
8. Shaking tension from your arms and legs
9. Whatever feels right at the moment!
Do the movements you choose vigorously for about a minute; then you can return to work refreshed. It hardly interrupts your flow, and your energy flows more freely.
As you give yourself the gift of Movement Moments throughout your day, notice how they affect your energy, focus, and productivity. Try keeping track of this for a week, and see what you discover!

Therapy Resources: Knowing Your Options Can Help You Receive the Best Treatment
Knowing the different therapy resources which are available to you can make a big difference in not only the outcome of your therapy treatment but also the length of time it takes before you are considered to be living in successful recovery from addiction.
Inpatient care is, by all standards, the most effective type of treatment to help an addict successfully negotiate the path to recovery, but there are many other types of treatment and therapy resources available for those who cannot enroll for inpatient care.
Although inpatient care is regarded by professionals to be the most complete, intense, and successful type of addiction treatment program, it may not be suitable in all cases. Some people may find it impossible to be away from their families for a prolonged period of time. Some patients may be managing to hold down employment which would be compromised if they were suddenly enrolled in an inpatient addiction program. Others cannot leave their children for prolonged periods of time, and some people simply cannot afford the extra costs involved with inpatient care.
Fortunately, many other therapy resources can be utilized to help patients who are dedicated to walking a road to recovery. The majority of these treatments are included in residential care programs, but can also be accessed from other types of treatment programs. The most successful (and essential) therapy resources available in outpatient treatment and other types of programs include:
· Individual therapy. The best addiction treatment centers will have a team of specialist therapists for each of the different types of addiction. Although many types of addiction have the same or similar root problems, there are also therapists who specialize in sex addiction therapy or trauma resolution therapy for example. Make sure that the therapists at your chosen treatment center are qualified to deal with the type of addiction problems you have.
· Family therapy. This is an extremely imperative, fundamental type of resource, and one of the most important therapy resources for a successful outcome to addiction treatment. The amount of suffering a family is subjected to due to addiction must never be underestimated, and very often the individual family members will need to be involved in therapy sessions (sometimes individually) in order to really understand the reasons for addiction and how to cope with their own feelings of inadequacy or rejection. It is also important that patients understand the effect that their own actions are having on their loved ones and how important it is for them to tackle the problems together. A strong supportive family network is vital for the person suffering with addiction to live a successful life in recovery and to avoid relapse in the future.
· Family skill building. The skills needed in order to fight addiction problems can be learned, and this is a valuable therapy resource which can make a real difference to the outcome of any addiction treatment program. Families, as well as patients, must learn about the triggers which may cause relapse in the future, how to avoid situations which may be harmful for the future recovery, and how to recognize the danger signs when the patient is most likely to return to their old, harmful ways. If the family can learn how to build a whole new life together then everyone can be healthy and happy.
· Couples therapy. Akin to marriage counseling with added difficulties, addiction problems can really drive a wedge between couples which must be broken down from both sides of the equation in order for their relationship to survive. Partners of those suffering from addiction can often feel neglected or rejected, like they could have done something to prevent the addiction in the first place, or just completely let down by the person they loved the most and chose to spend the rest of their lives with. There are some serious bridges to be built in many of these relationships and, fortunately, many of the best addiction clinics or centers have the necessary therapy resources in place to deal with these problems. If this is a particular problem for you and your partner, then watch out for this option when choosing the best addiction treatment center for your purposes.
· Psychologists and Psychological Testing. Many people who suffer from addiction have co-occurring disorders which must be dealt with in tandem with the physical sides of their addiction. A surprising number of patients have mental health problems, or suffer from depression or similar disorders. In order for these people to live a life in successful recovery these problems must be addressed at their source and dealt with accordingly. If the addiction was the symptom of these problems, then it is equally important to deal with the cause.
· Support groups. Another incredibly important part of therapy resources which can really help recovering patients to live a life in successful recovery are support groups. Many people find great comfort and help from regular support groups and in speaking with people who are facing the same problems they face, going through the same thoughts, feelings, and anxieties. These can be an invaluable resource for many people who can attend these groups for many months or even years after they have undergone more intensive addiction therapy. Helping others to battle their demons can be very cathartic for those who are successfully living a life of recovery.
· Therapy resources which teach new skills. This can also be an extremely valuable asset for anyone who is battling to beat addiction problems. Learning something new can be a fabulous release for those people who can focus their attentions on new skills, hobbies, and pastimes, as well as meeting new people with similar interests. These types of therapy resources include music therapy, painting therapy, animal therapy, including the relatively simple procedure of having a pet to care for. Walking a dog can be extremely therapeutic. Other types of successful therapy include horse riding and similar activities.
While there is no doubt that intensive residential treatment programs offer the quickest route to recovery, as you can see, there as many other options available for those who, for whatever reason, cannot take part in residential treatment. If you or someone you know suffers from addiction, start researching thetherapy resources available to you and get headed down a path to a life of recovery.

The Secret Process Nobody Wants You to Know
Copyright (c) 2013 Joe Vitale
If you've ever doubted that you could accomplish something, you'll love this story.
A year ago I hadn't written a single song, couldn't carry a tune, didn't have a solid beat, only knew a few guitar chords, and never sang in public or in the studio.
Today I have my first singer-songwriter album done. All songs by me. Everything sung by me. With guitar and harmonica playing by me. It's called Strut!
And earlier this year, back in April, I released my first music album, called Blue Healer.
I went from zero to recorded musician in less than a year.
I hope you don't think this is bragging. I'm sharing this with you to inspire you to go for your own dreams. If I can come out of the gate with no experience or education in music, and record something noteworthy within twelve months, then you can most likely do what you dream, as well.
Who's to say you can't?
To help you here, let's look at the steps I took to recreate myself as a musician. This is a blueprint for you and what you want to do. In some respects, this is the secret process nobody (but me) wants you to know.
Here they are:
Intention. I decided to do something. It all begins here. I even announced I was a musician before most people would have agreed with me. I intended my end result.
Action. I started writing, reading, and talking about music. I took a songwriting workshop. I tried writing songs. I experimented with ideas. I took guitar lessons. I entered a music program. I did something in the direction of my intention.
Coaching. I put together my team of mentors to help me reach my goal. I got Guy Monroe, Mathew Dixon and Daniel Barrett to be my support. Coaching is essential to go beyond your limits.
Clearing. Anything that came up that felt like a block or limiting belief, I did something to clear it. Believe me, lots of self-doubts surfaced. I faced them and erased them.
Persistence. I kept taking action, kept clearing, kept writing songs, kept taking lessons, kept at it.
There you have it. Those five steps are the keys to attracting and achieving your own goals, even if they seem so big or out of your comfort zone to seem near impossible.
You don't know what is impossible. So start now to manifest your dreams.
But let's not stop there. I think it will be helpful to look at the songs I recorded for Strut! After all, I wrote them as "Healing Music" -- songs of motivation, transformation and inspiration -- all designed to help you achieve your dreams. This music illustrates the secret process nobody wants you to know.
Note: You can hear excerpts from my healing music albums at either Strut! or Blue Healer. The direct links are: http://www.HealingMojoMusic.com and http://www.GetUpandStrut.com
As I told the other Joe V. -- famous drummer for such music legends as Neil Young and Joe Walsh, who ended up playing amazing drums on my album -- "I love music but too much of it plants negative messages that we absorb without thinking. The Rolling Stones singing "You can't always get what you want" and "I can't get no satisfaction" are programming us to believe in scarcity. I want to record music that is as beloved as the classics, but instead plants positive messages in you."
There's positive meaning behind each of my songs. I know because I wrote them all (except for the one noted below). Here are their secrets (which nobody has ever known, until now)…
"Today's the Day" is a hypnotic blues-rock theme that grabs you and conveys the message that you need to take action. Today. In the song, an angel comes to me and tells me a secret. She then repeats it until you get it. I sing and play baritone guitar and harmonica on this one. This is my favorite track.
"Strut!" came from the idea that when you change your physiology, you change your psychology. Meaning, if you feel blue, get up and move around. Dance. Jiggle. Strut. This is my favorite track.
"Got a Problem?" conveys the amazing message of miracle healing from my book, Zero Limits, called ho'oponopono. It's an original and unforgettable song about love. It gives me chills. This is my favorite track.
"Testosterone" is based on a true story, one I never planned to share. I'd rather not talk about it. Just listen to the song. This is my favorite track.
"Everybody's Goin' Thru Somethin" is a reminder that your problems aren't just yours. We all got them. Even you. Even me. It's a plea to be kind to others. To be understanding and forgiving. This is my favorite track.
"Strut Interlude" is a type of intermission. I came up with a guitar riff and we played to it for a couple minutes. It's the section where you get to go fetch something to drink, go to the bathroom, groom your pet, change your shorts, or whatever. This is my favorite track.
"Totoro" is a whimsical song about a cartoon-ish fictional forest creature in Japan, and lost childhood magic. It's a story about reconnecting with wonder. This is my favorite track.
"Money! Let's go Get Some!" will reprogram your mind about the nature of money so you can more easily attract it. The groove in this tune will stick with you. I expect this one to become a movie soundtrack. This is my favorite track.
"The Choice" is a hypnotic tale, with beautiful guitar added by Mathew Dixon, about the nature of good and evil. Whew. You gotta hear it. It still haunts me (in a good way). This is my favorite track.
"All Along the Watchtower" is Bob Dylan's famous song, updated with three new verses by me. I wanted to leave listeners with a positive message. So I wrote one. I'm sure Dylan will thank me. This is my favorite track.
"Three Months" is dedicated to the late Judy Sherman, a woman given three months to live. It's an urgent message about deciding what you would do if given a short period of time. This one will surprise you. It also contains my primal screaming singing of "Struuuuuuuuut!" This is my favorite track.
As you can sense, all of these songs are designed to support you in strutting toward your dreams.
I'm not stopping with this album, either. I'm currently recording a healing instrumental album with Mathew Dixon (with me playing the world's first healing guitar), and already working on my next singer-songwriter CD. I'm on a roll, having a blast, and making yet another dream come true.
But that's about me.
What about you?
The message for you here is to go for your dreams.
Isn't that where the gusto of life is?
You now know the "secret formula" nobody wants you to know.
What are you going to do with it?
Well?
PS -- Excuses are a dime a dozen. What are you going to actually do today?

Eating Disorder Treatment: What to Expect and How to Get Help
Eating disorder treatment plays a vital role in the healing and rehabilitation of the majority of patients suffering from anorexia, bulimia, binge eating or any type of eating disorder. It is extremely difficult for anyone who suffers from an eating disorder to get better without the help of a treatment program - doing it alone is very rarely fully productive.
In order for any type of eating disorder treatment to be successful, however, it is important that the patient is personally motivated to seek help and enters into the program voluntarily. As with any addiction treatment program, the path is long and difficult and can only be successful if the patient has the personal motivation to succeed. They must recognize the problems they have and be willing and motivated to live a life in successful recovery hereafter.
Eating disorders vary from some other addictions and behavior disorders in one very important way - drug addicts can learn to live a drug-free life in recovery and alcoholics can learn to live without touching alcohol, but people suffering from eating disorders must learn how to modify their behavior and their relationship with food - they cannot just stop eating!
What to Expect from an Eating Disorder Treatment Program
A reputable, professional center which runs successful eating disorder treatment programs should include a variety of different treatments in order to help the patient to fully overcome their eating disorder and learn how to change their whole relationship with food. The different aspects of the eating disorder treatment program may include:
· Individual meal plans specifically developed for the particular client, dependent upon their personal situation.
· Monitored meals. This is pretty self explanatory, but in order for patients to adapt their relationship with food and for the professionals at the center to really help the client, it is vital for mealtimes to be monitored.
· Mealtime exercises. Strategies can be developed to help the patient to successfully cope with meal times.
· Restaurant outings. A program of supervised outings to restaurants can help the patient to develop the life skills they will need in the real world while receiving the support they need at the beginning of the eating disorder treatment.
· Grocery shopping plays a very important part of the program. This can help the patient to address shopping triggers and learn to cope.
· Meetings. For example Anorexics Anonymous, Bulimics Anonymous, or Overeaters Anonymous meetings can play an important role in the treatment of such addictive behaviors.
· Cooking and nutrition education. Getting back to basics about the nutritional values of food and how to prepare healthy meals.
· Body image. This is a very important aspect of any eating disorder treatment program, helping patients to recognize and accept the reality of their bodies.
· Process groups. Each patient enrolled in an eating disorder treatment program has different needs, which is why it's important for the treatment center to promote process groups which are specific to the needs of each individual.
The Different Stages of Eating Disorder Treatment Programs
When patients enroll at a recognized, reputable, professional treatment center for the treatment of eating disorders they will have a treatment program shaped to suit their individual needs. Having said that, the majority of eating disorder treatment programs should follow a similar type of framework:
· Assessment. The individual client must be assessed. Although many similarities occur between patients, there are also many specific problems which need to be addressed. Every person is different.
· Exploration. Exploring the different types of treatment which can help the patient is another very important aspect of the program. Tailor made programs are the most effective method of dealing with eating disorders and other addiction problems.
· Internalization. The next stage of the eating disorder treatment program should be the internalization of the patient.
· Life Integration. It is important that anyone suffering from an eating disorder can learn the strategies and coping mechanisms necessary to live life in healthy recovery. This incorporates an intensive life integration program, learning some of the techniques mentioned above - grocery shopping, eating in a restaurant, nutrition and cooking, etc.
· Recovery strategy. This is the final step on the road to having the ability to live a normal, healthy life after the eating disorder treatment program and for maintaining a healthy relationship with food.
If you need, or someone you know gives you reason to believe that they are in need ofan eating disorder treatment program, remember that very few people manage to deal with the problem alone without the help of qualified, trained, experienced professionals. Contact a center near you to learn more about intervention services and the treatment options available in your area.
