7 step program to Positive Thinking

June 25th, 2011 Jan Tallent

I’m sure you have a bright idea hidden somewhere in the back of your mind that you just can’t wait to test out. Of course you’re not the only one with the bright idea. So what motivates you to churn those creative, or even inspiring juices to its utmost flavor?

It’s always best to set up a personal goal where you can accomplish the most in record time, maybe like mowing the lawn in an hour before the big game on TV. A correct and positive attitude in whatever you do will make things easier, and even enjoyable.

Here are some tips to make it through the week even if you’re just sitting on your favorite couch.
An idea takes time to form in your head and is always at work while you are busy sitting.

Having a bit of positive thinking can help you realize things that you never thought were possible.
Thinking big is indeed the American Way and that is what made our country prosperous.

1. Take passionate action towards living your life by design.

Talk is cheap. Action = deposits in the bank of a passionately authentic future. Without it, passion is void.

This is a perfect example where dreams are made of where you start by tinkering with your mind, then with your hands. And if the idea weakens, you can always go back to it later until you finish it.

2. Commit to yourself as well as those you love to create powerfully a life you can love.

Instead of reacting, commit to creating from your heart and soul, out of love rather than fear. The American Dream will always be there, but a dream will still be a dream without motion. Be amazed as the transformation begins.

3. Recognize and embrace the thought that each moment is perfect regardless of its outcome.

Every time you hit on something that may appear too extreme, why not give it a shot and see if it will work? You will be surprised to see that there are other ways to get the task done in time. If you are not pleased with the outcome, decide to use that moment to learn from it and make the appropriate shift.

4. Dwell completely in a place of gratitude.

Learn to utilize what you have in your hands and make use of it in the most constructive way. Slipping into neediness will become less of a habit when you repeatedly shift towards gratitude, away from poverty consciousness.

5. Use a Passion Formula of Recognize/Reevaluate/Restore in place of the Shoulda/Woulda/Coulda whirlwind.

The former is based in increased knowledge and abundance while the latter focuses on scarcity and lack. As you face people or tasks that may seem harder than scaling the summit of the Himalayas, allow yourself to realize that the task is just as important as giving out orders to your subordinates. You would rather be richly passionate!

6. Keep humor at the forefront of thought, laughing at and with yourself when possible.

You may find yourself quite entertaining when you loosen up! I am yet to see a comedian ever go hungry even though his jokes are as ‘old as great-grandma’. Life has too much to offer to allow you to mope around in self pity. Humor is very attractive, very passionate: life-giving.

7. Believe that you are the architect of your destiny.

No one can take your passionate future from you except you! Create your life authentically. As long as there’s still breath in your body, there is no end to how much you can accomplish in a lifetime. The concept of thinking big is all about enjoying your work, which would lead to celebrate a discovery that is born within your hands. Watch everything flow into place with perfect, passionate precision.

It’s interesting how people get wallowed up by something as trivial as learning to use a computer. Nowadays top computer companies are manufacturing software that even the kids can use.

I don’t mean to be condescending, but that’s the idea of not having any positive thinking in your life-you’ll just end up as a dim bulb in a dark corner. So instead of subjecting yourself to what you will be doomed for, make your path by taking the first step with a positive attitude.

Your 7 days program to self-improvement

March 20th, 2011 Jan Tallent

There are many ways to lose your sense of self-esteem.

Whatever happens, we should try not to lose our own sense of self.

So what does it take to be a cut above the rest?

Here are some of the things you can think and improve on that should take you through a week.

1. Know your purpose

Are you wandering through life with little direction – hoping that you’ll find happiness,
health and prosperity? Identify your life purpose or mission statement and you will
have your own unique compass that will lead you to your truth north every time.

This may seem tricky at first when you see yourself to be in a tight or even dead end.
But there’s always that little loophole to turn things around and you can make
a big difference to yourself.

2. Know your values

What do you value most? Make a list of your top 5 values.

Some examples are security, freedom, family, spiritual development, learning.
Check your goals against your values. If the goal doesn’t align with any of your
top five values – you may want to reconsider it or revise it.

The number shouldn’t discourage you, instead it should motivate you to do more
than you have ever dreamed of.

3. Know your needs

Unmet needs can keep you from living authentically. Take care of yourself.
Do you have a need to be acknowledged, to be right, to be in control, to be loved?
There are so many people who lived their lives without realizing their dreams
and most of them end up being stressed or even depressed.
List your top four needs and get them met before it’s too late!

4. Know your passions

You know who you are and what you truly enjoy in life.
Obstacles like doubt and lack of enthusiasm will only hinder you.
Don’t let them derail your chance to become the person you ought to be.
Express yourself and honor the people who have inspired you to become
the very person you wanted to be.

5. Live from the inside out

Increase your awareness of your inner wisdom by regularly reflecting in silence.
Commune with nature. Breathe deeply to quiet your distracted mind.
For some, it is enough to just sit in a dimly lit room and play some classical music.
There’s sound, yes, but music does soothe the savage beast.

6. Honor your strengths

What are your positive traits? What special talents do you have?

List three – if you get stuck, ask those closest to you to help identify them.
Are you imaginative, witty, good with your hands? Find ways to express
your authentic self through your strengths.

You can increase your self-confidence when you can share what you know with others.

7. Serve others

When you live authentically, you may find that you develop an interconnected sense of being.
When you are true to who you are, living your purpose and giving of your talents to the world
around you, you give back in service what you came to share with others -your spirit – your essence.
The rewards for sharing your gift with those close to you is indeed rewarding.

Self-improvement is indeed one type of work that is worth it.
The difference lies within ourselves and how much we want to change for the better.

Your 5 minutes daily program to Stress management

February 4th, 2011 Jan Tallent

Since stress is unavoidable in life, it is important to find ways to decrease or even, when possible,
prevent stressful incidents and decrease negative reactions to stress.

Here are some of the things that can be done to help ease your stressful life …

Managing time

Time management skills can allow you more time with your family and friends
and possibly increase your performance and productivity.
This will help reduce your stress.

To improve your time management:

· Save time by focusing and concentrating, delegating and making sure to schedule some time for yourself.
· Keep a record of how you spend your time, including work, family and leisure time.
· Prioritize your time by rating tasks by importance and urgency. Redirect your time to those activities
that are important and meaningful to you.
· Manage your commitments by not over- or under-committing.
Don’t commit to what is not important to you.
· Deal with procrastination by using a day planner, breaking large projects into smaller ones
and setting short-term deadlines.
· Examine your beliefs to reduce conflict between what you believe and what your life is like.

Build healthy coping strategies

It is important that you identify your coping strategies. One way to do this is by recording the stressful event, your reaction and how you cope in a stress journal. With this information, you can work to change unhealthy coping strategies into healthy ones-those that help you focus on the positive and what you can change or control in your life.

Lifestyle

Some behaviors and lifestyle choices affect your stress level. They may not cause stress directly,
but they can interfere with the ways your body seeks relief from stress. Try to:

· Balance personal, work, and family needs and obligations.
· Have a sense of purpose in life.
· Get enough sleep, since your body recovers from the stresses of the day while you are sleeping.
· Eat a balanced diet for a nutritional defense against stress.
· Get moderate exercise throughout the week.
· Limit your consumption of alcohol.
· Don’t smoke.

Social support

Social support is a major factor in how we experience stress. Social support is the positive support you receive from family, friends, and the community. It is the knowledge that you are cared for, loved, esteemed and valued. More and more research indicates a strong relationship between social support and better mental and physical health.

Changing thinking

When an event triggers negative thoughts, you may experience fear, insecurity, anxiety, depression, rage, guilt and a sense of worthlessness or powerlessness. These emotions trigger the body’s stress, just as an actual threat does. Dealing with your negative thoughts and how you see things can help reduce stress.

· Thought-stopping helps you stop a negative thought to help eliminate stress.
· Disproving irrational thoughts helps you to avoid exaggerating the negative thought, anticipating the worst and interpreting an event incorrectly.
· Problem solving helps you identify all aspects of a stressful event and find ways to deal with it.
· Changing your communication style helps you communicate in a way that makes your views known without making others feel put down, hostile or intimidated. This reduces the stress that comes from poor communication. Use the assertiveness ladder to improve your communication style.

Whether you’re the mail guy, the CEO or the average working parent, stress is one unwanted visitor you would love to boot out of your life.
