Always Look For The True Story
I don't know about you but I'm always wary about taking too
much notice of what I read in newspapers. In fact, I don't
actually read much of what they contain but rather just scan
the headlines looking for something that will be of benefit
to me.
There's a saying that "good news doesn't sell newspapers" and
that certainnly seems to be reflected in the way things are
reported.
You can't fail to have noticed all the doom and gloom at
present about global economies, especially if you live here
in the Uk or in the USA. And I've no doubt there is some
sound thinking behind it. But is it really as bad as they say?
Recently I noticed a headline that said something like, "One
in five trust fund managers believe recession is coming".
And the article began by saying that "8 out of 100 analysts
believe the economy is already in recession and 20% think
recession is on the way."
In other words you should really be concerned about this. But
wait, take a closer look at the figures. Is it really so bad?
The way I see it, 92% of trust fund managers say the economy
is not in recession and 4 out of 5 have not even said that
they think one is imminent!
That seems like good news to me!!
Now I'm sorry if economics is not your thing, but the point
I'm trying to make here is that by constantly putting the
emphasis on the negative, the newspapers are drawing you into
the gloom.It's not in their interests to report good news
because humans by nature seem to be drawn by the opposite and
so they sell more newspapers by focusing on the negative
aspects of life.
And if you read them and believe everything you read you too
will continue to feed your mind with negativity. So instead
you need to be strong and wise enough to be able to see
through the headlines. Sure, bad things happen and I'm not
saying you should lose your compassion and become ignorant of
what's going on.
But you must look for the truth in everything you see and hear,
and focus on the good things. There's plenty to be happy about
and grateful for and by concentrating on those positive apects
you will grow as a person.
So follow the truth!

Mind Techniques - The Way To Achieve Your Dreams
By Regina Maniam
Did you know that there are mind techniques that you can use to
better your life? After all, you spend time at work, watching
television, reading the papers, going out to have a fun time.
Would it not be worthwhile to enhance your mind power to achieve
greater heights?
If you really think about it, anything thought in the mind is
more powerful than what exists in the real world as we see it.
Any new invention is first a thought in someone's mind. Only
after that is it done for all to see and use. Mind power is
something that can be harnessed by doing mind exercises or
using mind techniques.
If what happens outside is a result of what you feed to your
mind, does it not then mean that harnessing of the mind power
will tremendously improve your success skills.
Of course, you may question whether you can really get help
through your thoughts. After all, you start of doing a business
paper and suddenly pictures of where you are going to vacation
next keep drifting in front of you. Or you want to practice your
mind techniques and are focusing on a positive picture when the
negatives keep popping up.
The worst thing to do under these circumstances is to get upset
about the disturbance. This gives power to the disturbance. Just
ignore it! Continue with your positive focus. Yes, it will keep
flitting past your mind. Just ignore it. Have you had anyone
irritating you? As long as you got angry and reacted to the
irritation, you were actually encouraging the other person to
carry on because he got the desired effect. But, if you just
ignored him, he will get tired and bored and go on with whatever
else he is doing.
When you are up in the morning, visualize a successful day and
imagine how some of your goals have been achieved beyond your
wildest dreams. See how happy you are, how happy everyone else
is. This positive feeding of the mind will get you started off
on a positive note.
Do this again in the middle of the day and at the end of the
day. Nobody needs to know what you are up to because you can
just spent ten to fifteen minutes for a quick relaxation. This
is very much accepted, so you will not look like a weirdo.
If you think this will be difficult, think of the times that
you have been day dreaming. Have you imagined being promoted,
going on a holiday, getting that car you wanted, owning a
beautiful home or being happy and feeling just great? Instead
of doing idle day dreaming, change it to focused visualization.
Plan what it is you want to visualize and enjoy the experience.
Think of the end result! How happy you are when you achieved
your goal. See yourself treating your friends to holidays or a
great meal. Make the pictures outrageous and colorful to get it
well entrenched in your mind.
Do not worry that this is unbelievable and people will laugh at
you. Remember it is all in your mind. Nobody needs to know. In
your mind you have all the money in the world, you know all the
experts in the world and you can get anyone to do anything for
you.
Mind techniques can be used to improve your success skills. You
can do it wherever you are. It is free! So, is there any reason
not to take advantage of it?
Regina Maniam shares her ideas on how you can achieve more by
using mind techniques. You can find more information at

How To Make Time For A Break
One of the topics covered in recent editions of Self Improvement
Front Line is time management and learning to gain better
control of how you spend your time.
If you want to be able to develop and take the steps to reach
your goals it is a skill you must master. And one of the secrets
is being able to boost your mind by taking breaks in what you
are doing.
Here are five useful tips to help you to do so:
- For any specific task decide exactly how long you are going
to work on it, say 30 minutes, then when that time is up stop
what you are doing. Take a short break and then go back to it
or start on something else. When you use this method you must
stick rigidly to the time you have set and stop regardless of
what stage your work is at. So you must plan it carefully
- only you can know when it is practical to take a break.
- Set specific start and finish times for your activities and
stick to them. You will then learn how much work makes up a
working day and so become more effective at managing your
time and putting a value on it. Always finish promptly at the
time you have set for the end of your day.
- Take a regular break for lunch. Have a set time and duration
for it and ensure you take time to do something totally
unconnected with your current task. You should never work
through lunch, you need the time to nourish your body, and
your mind!
- Schedule in other short breaks, perhaps 10 minutes at a time.
This is particularly important if you are working at a computer
or doing other work requiring high levels of concentration. It
will boost your energy and improve your concentration levels.And
it will help to keep you healthy.
- Avoid taking unscheduled breaks. You have learned before
about overcoming interruptions and so unplanned breaks should
be eliminated.
Making time for yourself will help to boost your levels of
concentration and keep you focussed on the tasks you have to
complete. It will also help to keep you healthy and so enable
you to work effectively at all times.
So take a break!
