Living A Good Life Without The Need To Be Rich

By Deegan Love

Introduction: A lot of people associate the good life with money, and that is the main reason why plenty aren't happy at where they are right now. The good life is not dictated by what you have or what you don't have, but by how you live your life regardless of your financial and social status.

Difficulty: 5

Things You'll Need: writing materials, sports or hobby equipment, self opinionated, mirror, looking life at a perspective

Step 1: Make a list of all the things that you are grateful for. Using your writing materials, write down all the other good things that you are happy or grateful about. No matter how harsh life may be, surely there are still a lot of good stuff happening around.

Step 2. When you feel any painful emotions coming up (anger, hatred, sadness and the like), channel your thoughts on the things you have written on the list. Think about or read the list every morning and night as well.

Step 3: Free yourself from financial obligations. This means that you have to pay off everything that you owe to keep you from constantly worrying about your debts. Using your credit card to shop or making another loan is never a solution. Instead you have to ensure that everything else is paid off but mortgage.

Step 4. Take your note pad out again and start listing your goals in life. List what you want to achieve on a short term basis, and list down your long term goals as well. Remember though, that your goals have to be attainable and realistic. Here are some examples:

- Making someone smile each day

- Think of something that interests you to make you busy

- Reading a book a week

Step 5. Tell yourself that you are beautiful. No, you aren't being narcissistic. Just look at the mirror and tell yourself that you are beautiful. Remember that when you feel good, you start to look good.

Step 6. Stop wanting too many things. We sometimes become sad because we want all too many things at once. Take your financial status into consideration and look at it realistically. Figure out what you can afford and start from there. Splurge once in awhile as long as it is within your budget, and if you want something that's not, then try to save.

Step 7. Are you close to your family, siblings or friends? Take note of your relationship with them. Are the relationships the kind you would want to share with them? If not, try working things out by bridging gaps and fostering healthy relationships with them.

Step 8: Make busy with a new sport. If there's something that interests you and you think is fun to do, then for a change try it!

Step 9. Keep Your Body and Mind Healthy. Practice control in what and how you eat and in your lifestyle as well. A fit body helps you enjoy life better on a day to day basis.

Step 10: Be Optimistic! Being confident about whatever things it may be is just the best way to deal with it.

Tips:

- Think realistically and become accustomed to what you have in life.

- Work hard for the things that you can't. Not everything is free in life.

- Smile, laugh and enjoy life.

Warnings:

- Make it a point to laugh on a constant basis. Of course, make sure there's an occassion to laugh, and that you're not doing so just randomly.

- Look at life in a realistically manner in order to prevent heartaches and letdowns in the future. - 31877

T-Mobile Phone Contracts

By Angela Jones

T-Mobile phones' services are available to roughly a quarter of the population of the world, if we think about the fact that this is the zone over which they can offer broadcasting services. This massive feat is feasible thanks to enormous support from big brand names and corporations like Samsung, Nokia and Motorola. However, in spite this there are other things that T-Mobile phones might be able to surprise you with.

The comms packages offered, whether designed for private, family or corporate purposes, include mobile phones most of the time and some of these cell phones truly are the newest on the market. There is however a problem with such amazing bargains, there is always a clause that the customer is not completely conscious of.

Far from suggesting that you should take the peril of being conned, I only think that good quality advice needs to be given about what you can obtain and what you lose with the various mobile T-Mobile phones packages. Let us pose the circumstances that you have set your sights on a great model of mobile phone, but that it is totally out of your reach because the price is too high for your budget. You can easily conquer this difficulty if you choose to sign a contract with T-Mobile to have their cell phone for a minimum period of two-years.

In that way you get a good cell phone but at a far lower price and T-Mobile Phones gains by having you signed for a full two year period with all the fees that you will have to pay over the longer time period. What you ought to be asking yourself is whether the change of cell phone every year that you will give up is worth having to pay the increased monthly fees.

Reviewers assert that T-Mobile phones have a lot more features intended to facilitate access to the various Internet services, yet, they lack some very fundamental technical quality standards. Therefore, even a number of of the Nokia models are often called mediocre when it comes to the technical specifications of the camera, for example.

Nokia has sold a lot of models as T-Mobile phones, but there are still lots of cell phones still in stock. Moreover, people are finding prices over $400 more and more difficult to pay, especially in the austere financial conditions of 2009 and most likely 2010.

Part of the criticism that Nokia T-Mobile phones have received comes from the small price discount even after signing up for a significantly extended period of time. What choices are there? We do not know yet, but it is clear that phone companies need to redefine their sales terms and the conditions they offer to users in order to come up with packages that will win customers over.

T-Mobile phones are incontestably part of a race to dominate the market, which means that you should check all the services and advantages the company offers and compare them with that of the competition. Only in this way, can you select the cell you want and be sure you have got good bargain! - 31877

Self Help Is Best For Overcoming Shyness

By Hans S Delane

For people who are extremely shy, the idea of talking to new people makes them quite nervous. The moment you think about it, there is a churn in your stomach. Serious shyness has a potential for deep impact on the social activities of people. At some point in time, millions of people suffer from a disease called social anxiety. There is a remedy for this disorder which is called cognitive behavioral treatment.

Some scientists think that the familial conditioning is responsible for the emotional development of people. It looks as if DNA of certain people has been designed for shyness. Some people can overcome the disorder but few of them suffer this problem even till their old age. The current conditions of today's life are also partly responsible for it, as we live in a world where we do not need extensive face to face contact. The internet is partly to blame for this since the people become used to interaction via email and undertake computer games, which leads to retardation of their social characteristics and skills. Some people try to work on this disorder and there are activities that one can undertake to combat this issue.

Firstly, you need to find out what triggers the chain of thoughts in our mind. You can't be feeling shy in all situations. When do you really feel uncomfortable? Pose a question for yourself about this at the beginning itself. Does your mind start making negative predictions on its own without any logic? Try and challenge the negative thoughts before you start believing them and accepting them as true.

As a shy person, you need to start ingraining the thought the what you are thinking is only a guess. Do not focus too much on anything that reconfirms your belief on anxiety. Instead, shift your focus and attention on something that is opposite. In reality, one cannot please everyone at the same time.

Put yourself right in the front and confront the negativity. It is a good idea to expose yourself to the situation as you yourself intentionally put yourself in situations which make you anxious. One of the best ways to deal with this is to constantly start facing situations so that the anxiety softens its grips and erodes away. The end objective should be to attract what you are fearful of and to realize that it isn't a big deal. You may have a rumbling feeling in your stomach, but it is worth doing as soon as possible. The more you delay it, the more you will torture yourself.

Shyness is not associated with any psychological disorder, but is considered to be a personality trait. The degree of shyness varies from person to person. Some people feel very anxious when they face an audience, while there are some who want to lead an extremely solitary life. This is not the right way to live life. Some people treat shyness like a cocoon. It gives them safety, warmth and quietude. At the same time, it can turn out to be desolate, confined and dark.

Ask your family members and friends to support you. When you are in a difficult situation they will lend their help and provide pointers to you. If you know that there is someone out there to hand hold you, it becomes quite easy and comforting. Very soon, you will realize that you are gradually losing your fears and gaining confidence. When you attain a good social life, you will have a realization that how easy and comforting it is to meet people.

One now has many remedies to minimize shyness. Start taking one step a day or week, which will ensure that shyness turns out to be history. One can try a lot of other things as well, but these pointers can help you get to the right direction. - 31877

Influence Of the Seven Chakras

By Jonathan Benjem

Chakras are the focal points of the body where life force energy is generated. Chakra means wheel; and it refers to the spinning sphere of life energy that term represents.

There are six main chakras that are stacked in a column along a person's spine, and there is a seventh that is above them, beyond the physicality of the body.

The Chakra is commonly described as being energy, but it is important to understand the seven chakras and how they related to your body.

A proper alignment of the seven Chakras helps you to maintain your body in physical, mental and spiritual health; this is why it is important to know more about each Chakra and how it affects you.

Muladhara

The Muladhara is the Chakra of your lower body. This Chakra is responsible for your survival instinct and other related primal behaviors. Located in the perineum, the Muladhara relates to the potentiality of human life.

This is the Chakra which corresponds to the adrenal glands in the physical body and produces the fight or flight response.

Swadhisthana

The Swadhisthana is the reproductive Chakra and corresponds to the genitals. Also known as the sacral Chakra, this is the Chakra which controls your sexuality and the creative impulse.

This is the Chakra which controls the sex hormones as well. This Chakra also is responsible for mood swings, It's symbol is a six-petal lotus.

Manipura

Located in the Navel, the Manipura or solar plexus Chakra is responsible for the transition from simple to comlex emotions. The Manipura corresponds to the pancreas in the physical body.

The Manipura plays an important role in the way that food is converted into energy. It is symbolized by a ten petal lotus.

Anahata

The Anahata is the heart. This Chakra is responsible for love and other complex emotions, as well as your sense of equilibrium and well being overall. This Chakra corresponds to the thymus gland (located in the chest) and the immune system in the physical body.

This Chakra is symbolized by a twelve petal lotus

Vishuddha

The Vishudda is the throat. It is responsible for communication and growth.The symbol of this Chakra is a sixteen petal lotus.

The growth is a form of expression, so the Vishudda is in charge of expressions. Communication is a very important part of your every day life, and therefore this chakra is in charge of it.

Ajna

The Anja is your eyebrow or forehead. This Chakra is also known as the third eye. The Ajna comtrols your visualization abilities and is the Chakra which has to do with time, light and awareness.

It is symbolized by a two petal lotus, and is in charge of regulating sleep and awakening. These are very important functions within the body, and therefore this chakra is very important.

Sahasrara

Symbolized by a one thousand petal lotus, the Sahasrara is the seventh and final chakra. It is the chakra of consciousness. It communicates with the rest of the body in the same manner that the pituitary gland does. The Sahsrara is connected to all of the body systems, and is the key player in consciousness. - 31877

Amazing Secrets Of Abundance

By Ben J Scott

A healthy, happy life is one which experiences abundance. This doesn't refer only to material prosperity but also to strong and supportive relationships, good health, doing work you love and living a life in harmony with your own beliefs and values.

This sort of true abundance is never accidental. While it may certainly seem that there are those lucky individuals who appear to live a charmed life, true abundance is not accidental. Whether a person harnessing the laws of the universe to experience abundance is doing so unconsciously or otherwise, it doesn't really matter. The good news is that anyone can change their lives so they can attract abundance.

Everyone can have an abundant life. If you want to start attracting abundance now, start by being grateful of the things and the people you already have right now. You should do this even if you are in such a situation where being grateful is the last thing you want to do due to the difficulties you are facing now. Instead of being bitter because others seem to have the best things in life while you are suffering hardship, be grateful still; and eventually you will realize that you do have a lot of things to be thankful for.

If you find it hard to think of things that you should express gratitude, why not keep a journal or a list of the things you have everyday. After a tiring day and before going to bed, make at least a short list of the things that you can be grateful for. It could be a safe trip home from work or from school; it could be a few friends who smiled at you; it could be the food and water you ate throughout the day; and many more. By giving thanks to at least five of these things every night, you will tend to think of more things to be grateful about each day. This is a very positive step in experiencing an abundant life.

It is also important to consider your emotional condition when you aim to live an abundant life. Your positive feelings and habitual emotions can pull the abundance into your life. The people who support you and encourage you to feel good despite the untoward incidences in life are important as well. If you will remain to feel negative feelings, you will only attract more similar negative events into your life, rather than abundance.

Emotions and thoughts are closely linked. So as well as guarding emotions, anyone who wants to attract abundance into their lives also needs to watch the thoughts they think and the words they speak. Changing emotions and thoughts usually involves changing beliefs. After a lifetime of living on autopilot, making these changes can be very challenging but the benefits are well worth it.

The approaches to changes are many and each method can be beneficial to everyone who uses them. Some people would even use a combination of two or more approaches just to enhance or improve their personality that needs changes. By making your beliefs and values, plus your emotional and mental state always in the positive side, changes are worth it and attracting abundance is easier.

There are lots of tools made available by science to help people overcome the unhealthy state of their mental and emotional beings. Among these tools are the hypnosis, self-hypnosis, neuro-linguistic programming, applied kinesiology, affirmations, and BSFF (Be Set Free Fast).

Change is a process and the results are progressive. As a person changes, their life will also change. A thankful and optimistic person will attract abundance far more easily than someone who is struggling with negative emotions. These changes won't happen overnight, however, so it's important to be prepared to stay the course until abundance comes.

As you change yourself into someone better to attract abundance, you should grab all the good opportunities in order to achieve your goals. Expect the possibilities that different opportunities will soon arrive therefore you need to prepare your self. The best preparation that you can do is to gain further education through skill trainings and other form of activities where you can get more beneficial information.

Life may have been hard for you, but now that you are starting the first steps you will soon start to see abundance manifesting in your life. Just be positive in your thoughts and beliefs and never forget to appreciate the things you possess now, whether great or small. You can use whatever you have now as a starting point to attract more and more abundance into your life. - 31877

Cosmic Ordering Secrets Of Celebrities Revealed!

By Janette Stretens

Cosmic ordering has become more and more in prominence lately and the idea has been endorsed by many celebrities. Just place your order with the universe and after a short wait, it will be yours!

There are so many people around the world who are getting what they consciously desire. But it doesn't work first time for everyone. Do the people who it does work for know something the others don't? Are there really cosmic ordering secrets.

Think about the last time you saw someone succeed or win big. If you were grumbling and unhappy, you were just placing your order with the cosmos! The emotions of envy and disdain at another person's success reinforces the belief that you will never be a success and that you will never get what you want. You are saying you always want to be poor and sad!

Consider going to dinner at a nice restaurant. What do you do if you see someone there with a lovely meal? You don't get angry about not having it, you just get excited and order it for yourself! You'd hope that they loved their dinner and you would be happy for themselves.

With that in mind, why not be happy at someone else's success? You'll find that you can take happiness in their success and understand that your own is just as sweet. Don't be angry or bitter or disappointed because that reinforces what you already have; you are essentially planning for failure.

Lots of world religious out there tell us that the power of prayer can get us anything we want, although we need to think about how belief fits into that. More and more scientists are finding that quantum physics is a lot like a belief system and all the evidence is pointing to religious dogma as being true.

The truth is that the application of the application of the mind's power and energy can make it happen. This is honest, simple proof.

There are too many things that can make you fail if you are just looking at positive affirmations. If you have had problems in the past, this can be reinforced and it can take away a lot of the good that you have created. Some affirmations do stick, but it takes time if the old beliefs are still around.

What do the cosmic ordering secrets have to do with this? Start with a through house cleaning of your mind before you move forward. Remember that it is okay to accept the gifts that the universe wants to give you and start with a clean slate.

Lots of things can help you get rid of the old. Would you use a vacuum on a dirty carpet or a small tooth brush? There are lots of scientific designs out there that can help you make your mind more open to what it is you want.

Self-hypnosis, subliminal affirmations and binaural frequency waves help to do just that. They allow you to find and eliminate all the old negative thinking that you have in your subconscious mind. All that the cosmic ordering secrets really are is understanding that your own subconscious mind wants to sabotage your efforts to get whatever you desire.

Your mind hates change. It fights to keep you in a steady state so unless you believe that you already have what you want, just by using your cosmic ordering system; it fights you tooth and nail. These additional tools help to believe you already are there and relieves you of the fight to improve. It even makes it uncomfortable not to achieve and receive everything you want, because you already believe it exists.

You can have anything you want from the cosmic ordering system. Make sure that your order is what you really want and help it to come to reality with your belief. - 31877
