Time management tips open time by helping you develop vital strengths. It's the power of your choices that free you to live by your deepest values. Why not the timeless wisdom of Eleanor Roosevelt, who successfully battled depression and endured profound life losses with heart and dignity? She was highly esteemed for her courage and humanity, and her words still ring true today. You deserve to be deeply fulfilled, and the following tips will support your efforts.
It's actually remarkable that we so rarely acknowledge or appreciate the new in an ever-changing world.
"We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face... we must do that which we think we cannot."
Eleanor Roosevelt inspired millions by forging opportunities from the most daunting circumstances. In this way, she created opportunity by refusing to indulge in fatalism or self-pity.
It was her self-renewal that made each moment new.
It is pragmatic as well as invigorating to welcome each day as a new beginning. If you seek ways to grow through adversity each day, you will always be successful in finding the ideal conditions!
Re-Engage With What Lingers To Finally Leave It Behind.
Are you eager to leave behind old baggage? Remember, you are attached to it until you extract its lessons. Profound learning transforms you.
So whatever today brings you, encounter it with heartfelt intention to evolve through it, even at the risk of becoming someone you've never known. When Eleanor Roosevelt counseled us, "You must do the things you think you cannot do", she was affirming her faith that the person who "cannot" is capable of changing into the person who can, and who does!
Are you willing to give yourself the comfort and intensity of self intimacy? This is truly the potential of self-renewal.
You Shape Your Time Through Your Perceptions.
When you awaken to a new morning and frame it as the adventure it is, you immediately feel energized and excited about what is to come. And because you are seeing things this way, each moment can open in new directions.
Of course, this isn't a one-time decision, but a choice made repeatedly throughout the day. Creating a personal mantra helps. With all the inspirational quotations available, you can collect a few, select your favorite or better yet, develop one unique to you. One of my personal favorites is, "How can I challenge myself today?"
The following quote is inspirational whenever you find yourself procrastinating.
"Do not wait until the conditions are perfect to begin. Beginning makes the conditions perfect." Alan Cohen
So, expand your potential by regularly outgrowing your comfort zone. Do you choose to find time for the amazing adventure of this new day? It's a choice that changes everything!

Are You On the Right Path?
Copyright (c) 2013 Joe Vitale
I flew to Houston recently to do one thing: test drive a Spyker, a hand made exotic super car from Holland.
It was a departure from my usual way of doing things. I never take a day off to fly to another city just to see a car. But it felt right. It felt like I almost couldn't stop myself from doing it.
That bothered me.
I wondered why I was so intent on seeing that car. It was a stretch to see it. I had to interrupt my day, my business, my life. But I know the power of stretching to increase personal growth. I also know the power of trusting those hunches. So I stretched.
Now here's where this gets interesting.
I thought I was going to see the Spyker. After all, that's why I booked the flight.
But from a higher plane (no pun intended), I actually went there for a completely different reason.
Yes, I went to see the car. That was the sole purpose of the trip. But once I knew I was going anyway, I started to think of what else I could do in Houston.
Recently I had been interviewed for three different CNN radio shows out of Houston. The host liked me and asked to talk about filming a TV show with me. I told him about Operation YES, my movement to end homelessness. He liked it. So we planned to talk again soon.
Well, since I was going to Houston anyway, I asked if he wanted to meet. He did.
As it turns out, I loved driving the Spyker car. It's fast and furious and oh so unique looking. But it's also tough to crawl in and out of it, like entering a fighter jet.
I didn't buy the car.
It appears the real reason I went there was the CNN interview. It was intense brainstorming, high energy, and led to solid action. We made plans to make a realty TV show out of my helping homeless people with the Law of Attraction and my other work.
So why did I go to Houston?
Was it the car or CNN?
Obviously I consciously thought it was for the car.
But unconsciously I was really going there for CNN.
The lesson here is to trust the process.
Even when it may seem like you are off track, you may actually be on the right path.
You might doubt yourself or feel disappointed when you take action for a reason (such as to see a car) and it doesn't work out.
But if you relax and breathe and remain aware, you will probably find there's a better reason for the action you took.
Since you can learn from everything and everyone, it's most likely true that you are always on the right path.
Assume that's true and see if life takes on more of an exciting charm.
What if what you're doing right now, no matter what it is or what you prefer, is exactly the right moment for you?
What if there's something in this moment that is for you to see and act on that you hadn't previously seen or considered?
Think about it.
For funsies, you can watch me meeting the 2008 Spyker Laviolette in Houston right here:
PS - Know you're on the right path and accelerate your results with the Law of Attraction and more.

The Calm After the Storm
Wow, that was some storm this morning here in the UK.
A once in a generation event, they say, on a par with the one back in October 1987.
It seems to have stirred up a couple of things in me too.
I'd say that the storm of '87 is remembered because it came as a shock.
We trusted the voice of authority, known as the weatherman (and they were all men back then) who reassured us that the storm would miss us.
Whoops!
But instead of blaming the Met Office for making a mistake, what if this was a wake up call, calling into question my long-standing habit of following the voices of authority without thinking for myself?
What if it was asking me to apply those 3 questions that are vital to ask before embarking on any venture or project?
Is it possible? Is it wise? Is it for me to do?
The answer to question No 1 comes from the intellect, and if I only listen to this answer as I have done in the past, I've ended up in a real mess. And I believe this is true of us all as humans. (Shall I give you my own examples, or have you your own?).
The answers to questions 2 & 3 come from a place you may not be in the habit of visiting. It certainly wasn't a habit of mine but I'm grateful that it is now.
It only requires a journey of 35 cms.
From your brain to your heart.
And this is not some romantic, poetic notion, not a 'pink and fluffy' piece of 'let's love everyone' waftiness.
Proof now abounds about the importance of the heart as a result of research stretching back over the last 20 years.
Suffice to say that it has been found to be so much more than a pump.
(If you'd like more information about the heart and its true function, I invite you to visit the Heartmath website at www.heartmath.org.)
For your own proof, can you recall the times when you just knew in your water that you needed to do something - or not do something? And you found it hard to explain the reasons.
I've learned to trust this as the intelligence of my heart working through my body and giving me the clearest signal ever.
It's what a former teacher of mine. Richard Wilkins, called the 'Ding or Bong' test.
So if you've never consciously worked your way through those 3 questions as a response to an idea, issue or project, give it a try the next time.
I've found it best to write my responses. It takes a bit more time, but I get clearer doing it that way.
And the benefit of doing any of this?
I've found it's increased the trust I have in myself for making wise choices.
And this has created the calm that makes it easier to make wise choices, or if I make a mistake, to recover more quickly than I used to be able to do.
It's made me more resistant to trusting naively the voices of authority (parents, teachers, doctors, police officers and politicians, to name a few).
So maybe it was my own naivety, my innocence, my desire to trust that caused me problems.
Am I alone here? What about you? Does this ring true for you at all?
There's a second aspect to this 'calm after the storm' theme.
You know about the 5 stages that we go through when forming any type of relationship don't you?
Forming Storming Norming Performing Mourning
It's my belief that the least popular stage is 'Storming' (followed by 'Mourning', which I'll write about in a future article).
Now for the word 'storming', let's substitute the word 'conflict', 'disagreeing', 'having a row'.
I'll be the first to say I don't much like conflict.
Surprising?
Well, maybe, but I like to think that most of me is a regular human. This means I've been on the receiving and giving end of harsh words.
Fortunately not more than that.
So yes, I'd learned some unhelpful habits.
I didn't like what I said and did or how I felt physically when I got cross.
Eventually I realised that one of the problems was I kept heading to the land of 'Win-Lose', a place I didn't want to go.
This proved a powerful motivator to find a different way to engage in conflict without 'getting personal'.
Now I've learned to choose language that explains clearly what I'm passionate about whilst listening respectfully to others when it's their turn.
And taking turns, I have learned is a core component of empathy.
Being willing to consider others' perspectives on an issue as well as hold true to mine.
Whatever the issue, whatever the decision to make.
Whether that's agreeing a holiday destination, what to cook for tea, how to deal with a child who doesn't want to go to bed at a time that works for you or how to deal with a medical condition.
And now, even in the fiercest of storms, following this trusted of maps, I have learned to navigate my way safely & swiftly to the land of 'Win-Win'.
I'm pleased that I have successfully negotiated a result that genuinely works for everyone concerned.
And just as importantly is not only using the map myself, but being able to teach the map to others.

Drug Addiction Recovery is Best with a Layered Approach
Drug addiction recovery may seem like an impossible mountain to climb, but the chance of recovery is always within reach - it really doesn't matter how hopeless the situation may seem, it is possible to change. Drug addiction treatment does need a layered approach. It is important that someone with a drug addiction gets the best support and treatment, yet also addresses the root cause of the addiction in the first place. In metaphor, the road to drug addiction recovery is long and bumpy with many possible potholes along the way, but just deciding that it is a road you want to take is a very important first step.
Drug Addiction Step 1 - Make the Decision to Change
Making the decision to change your life is the first and often the most important step towards recovery from drug addiction. You probably realize that drug addiction is affecting your life and your loved ones, but it still remains - this change is not going to be easy and will involve many different things.
• How you deal with stress.
• How you spend your free time.
• Who you spend your time with.
• Your opinion about yourself.
It's okay to be torn about the decision to change your life; it will entail some major changes about which you may be confused. It is going to take a lot of time, motivation, commitment, and support.
Here are a few tips to help you make the important decision to fight your drug addiction problems:
• Keep a record of your drug use - this way you will begin to see how much it is affecting your life.
• Make a list of the pluses and minuses of quitting - the costs, the benefits and everything in between.
• Think about how your drug addiction has affected your family and loved ones.
• Talk to someone who you trust, and ask them what they really feel about your drug addiction.
• Ask yourself what is preventing you from making the change, what could really help you to fight your drug addiction.
Drug Addiction Step 2 - Treatment Options
It is important to remember that there is no magic formula for drug addiction treatment - everybody is different and tailor-made treatment programs should be developed for each individual.
It is important that you find a drug addiction clinic which is prepared and able to customize a treatment program specifically for your needs. There are many branches of treatment which need to be brought together for a successful drug addiction program - drug addiction does affect your whole life, which includes not just your health but also the health of your relationships, career and overall psychological wellbeing. You need to follow a drug addiction program which addresses all of these things, and enlists the family as helpers to ascertain the reason why you turned to drugs in the beginning.
If drugs were your way to handling stressful situations then you will need to learn other methods of stress management as a part of your drug addiction treatment to prevent the whole cycle from returning.
Remember that this is no quick fix - you may enroll in a residential drug addiction treatment program, or an outpatient treatment program may be more suitable for your needs. Make sure that the rehab center you choose can combine many different elements of drug addiction and includes a tailor-made relapse prevention program which involves your family and loved ones.
Help with drug addiction may also entail treatment for other psychological or medical issues - often necessitating in combined drug addiction and mental health treatment programs. If all of these issues can be addressed under one roof, you have a much better chance of success.
Drug Addiction Step 3 - Your Support Network
No man is an island, you cannot do this alone so don't be ashamed to reach out for support. A solid system of support is essential for your success - you need people around you to guide you, encourage you, support you and provide an ear when the going gets particularly tough.
• Friends and family should provide the basis of your support network. Lean on them and let them help you.
• It may be necessary to build a whole new network of friends if your former social life was solely revolving around drugs. A group of sober, drug free friends are essential for your recovery. Join an evening class, learn a new skill, go to church, join a new social group, volunteer - integrate with new, sober friends.
• You may find it necessary to move into a sober, drug free home at the beginning of your drug addiction treatment. If you do not have a drug free, supportive living situation to go to this could be your only option.
• Join a support group and attend the meetings - make it a priority. It can really help to spend time with people who know exactly the problems you are facing and what you are going through.
Drug Addiction Step 4 - Learn how to Cope with Stress
If you have chosen a professional rehab center which provides a combined drug addiction program then this should all be a part of the service. Some ideas for stress relief include meditation, exercise, relaxing strategies, yoga and breathing exercises to challenge your own self defeatist or negative thoughts.
Drug Addiction - The Final Steps
You should be well on your way to a healthy, drug free life. In order to maintain this new lifestyle, however, it is important that you do things you enjoy and get involved in activities that bring you pleasure. Reward yourself and fill your life with purpose, and addiction will begin to lose the power it once had over you.
Take up a new hobby, get a pet (dogs love walking and walking is such a good way of relieving stress), become involved in your local community, maintain healthy eating habits, and keep away from any triggers that might hamper your progress. Stay away from clubs and bars, don't be tempted to contact old drug taking buddies, and stay healthy.
A healthful life is not just beneficial to you. Many others will become recipients of the rewards of your recovered life. Start today by calling a trusted addiction treatment facility to learn more and start your road to a new you.

The Money Mind Trick
Copyright (c) 2013 Joe Vitale
A massage therapist I know asked me if he should start asking people to donate money for his services rather than pay a specific price. He thought the former would be the ultimate demonstration of abundance consciousness.
What do you think?
Is leaving the payment up to the customer or client a sign of prosperity?
I say NO.
Not wanting to charge for your services is a cop out. It's a mind trick. It's a sly way to trick yourself into thinking you're so prosperous you don't need to charge, where in face you're actually saying you're so afraid of money that you don't dare ask for what you want.
Think about it.
If your electric company said, "Hey, we're prosperous, so just pay us what you think we're worth," what would you pay them?
Be honest. Most people would practice scarcity consciousness and pay little or nothing, even when the service provided is one most of us need to survive comfortably.
Don't think you're immune to the money mind trick.
Decades ago a therapist I knew experimented with not charging for his service, charging a high fee, and charging a low fee.
The people who saw him for free or the low fee didn't respect him, or his time, and didn't change.
The clients who paid the higher fee showed up on time, paid attention, did the work, and got better results.
Money is just a tool, but it's a loaded gun emotionally. Unless you get clear of the meanings around it, you'll be like the massage therapist who thought he was being prosperous by asking for love offerings, when in fact he was being afraid.
I wrote an entire book to help you get clear around money, called Attract Money Now. I'm giving the e-book version of it away to take away your excuses for not being prosperous.
Have you asked for the book?
Have you read it?
Have you applied the seven principles in it?
Face it. You need money to accomplish most of what you want in life.
Even people who want to make a difference in struggling countries, find that having money makes it easier to make that difference.
I've been able to donate thousands of dollars to build schools, fix schools, and help children in need, as well as start a movement to end homelessness which CNN will televise.
Even people who want to volunteer for non-profit organizations find that they need money to live, travel, eat and work.
A friend of mine once said, "I want to do volunteer work, but I can't afford it."
Money is a powerful tool. You can use it however you please, but only if you have it to begin with.
Get clear with money and attract more of the results you want in life.
Begin by reading my book. Just click right here.
Remember, it's free.
But if you'd feel better buying the hardcover version of the book, and if that would get you to actually read and implement what you learn, it's available right here.
Consider what Arnold Patent wrote, "The sole purpose of money is to express appreciation."
Go express some.

A massage therapist I know asked me if he should start asking people to donate money for his services rather than pay a specific price. He thought the former would be the ultimate demonstration of abundance consciousness.
What do you think?
Is leaving the payment up to the customer or client a sign of prosperity?
I say NO.
Not wanting to charge for your services is a cop out. It's a mind trick. It's a sly way to trick yourself into thinking you're so prosperous you don't need to charge, where in face you're actually saying you're so afraid of money that you don't dare ask for what you want.
Think about it.
If your electric company said, "Hey, we're prosperous, so just pay us what you think we're worth," what would you pay them?
Be honest. Most people would practice scarcity consciousness and pay little or nothing, even when the service provided is one most of us need to survive comfortably.
