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.

ADHD, some Opinions & Tips

May 15th, 2011 Jan Tallent

My son, now 23, was diagnosed with ADHD at 3 years old. He slept, AT MOST, 4 hours out of 24.
Even when sleeping, he fidgeted, tossed and turned and was generally unable to get any real rest.
When he was awake, he was literally bouncing off the walls BUT had such a sunny, loving and upbeat
personality, it was hard for me, at first, to accept his diagnosis.

All I had ever heard up to that point about ADHD were bad and negative things.

His father had symptoms of Agent Orange from his service in Viet Nam.
At the time my son was diagnosed with ADHD, I was told that:

This could have caused or at least contributed to my son’s having ADHD.

Over 85% of children with ADHD are boys.

Over 50% of children with ADHD will out grow it by puberty.

I have a great ebook about ADHD here, which is one of the products from my
Health Biz Super Site collection.

ADHD is an illness that starts in childhood. A child with ADHD has trouble sitting still,
doesn’t finish things that he or she begins and usually acts without first thinking things
through. This is a real illness that can change the way your child acts, feels, or thinks.
There are many different treatments for ADHD, drugs being just one of them. In fact,
drugs should always be a last resort that is almost never used (when in fact,
quite the opposite is true today).

You will notice that a child with ADHD may fidget or wiggle a lot more than usual when expected to sit still. Some seem to be daydreaming. Both are signs that the child may be affected by ADHD. When these behaviors interfere with the child’s ability to concentrate in school, make public outings dangerous for the child or make making friends difficult, there is cause for alarm and the child should be tested for ADHD. Parents may have a difficult time figuring out what to do with the child or may not even have the slightest idea of what to do.

Parents may think that some of these behaviors are normal for any child and may be in denial about their child’s condition. The good news is that it is an illness that can be treated effectively and can make the child feel much better about him or herself. This is very important because increasing the child’s self esteem will be essential to treatment. The child may feel like a failure, when he or she definitely is not. A common childhood illness, ADHD can be controlled and the child may even grow out of it eventually, as he or she begins to mentally mature and the symptoms simply disappear.

The causes of the illness are not yet definitely known but it is known that it usually runs in families. (This may be accurate, as both of my son’s half brothers, with the same Father but a different Mother; both also had extreme cases of ADHD.) Some doctors believe that there is not one single factor but combinations of factors that may contribute to the illness. So, if you are worried about your child’s behavior, you should take your child for a simple evaluation. Your child will not be immediately diagnosed with ADHD but will be checked for all possible answers to the problem. The possibility does exist that the child may have other problems that cause him or her to behave the way that he or she does. Other conditions can be mistaken for ADHD easily. It may even just be a bad diet or a lack of sleep that is causing poor brain functioning.

If it is found that the child does not have any other problems, it may be diagnosed that the child does, in fact, have an attention deficit disorder that needs treatment. Behavior therapy may be recommended. This involves meeting with doctors to work with your child on skills to help improve the problem. Working on building relationships, rules, limits and choices. Medication may be prescribed as an accompanying aid to behavior treatments. The very best results are possible when these things are worked on together. So, it is extremely important that you take action, not be in denial, and realize that it is not your fault that your child has this problem. Treatments are necessary and help from a qualified physician should be sought as soon as possible.

Do you have or know a child with ADHD? Were YOU a child with ADHD?
I would love to see your comments – let me know what you think!

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.
