Is your life just not working? No matter how many self improvement courses you take do you still feel stuck? Well, as far as personal development goes, it's all in your head! Let me explain:
There is a lot of information available online about Personal Development. There are a myriad of different, techniques, solutions, tapes, CDs, seminars etc. But have you ever been able to get them to work? Have you have tried everything on the market? Do you jump on all the new fads and courses? If you do and your life is still not working or you have come to the point where you are seriously starting to doubt if any of this stuff really works then you need to read this article now!
Does this sound like you?
Is nothing working in your life? No matter how many self improvement tapes you listen to do you just seem to be stuck on the same merry-go-round? Is your job is unsatisfying and do your personal relationships “suck”? Are your finances a mess and could your health be better? If can answer “yes” to any of these questions, or worse you can answer “yes” to all of them, then you need to set yourself straight in your own mind!
Firstly, all Personal Development and Self Improvement starts in the mind. All of your current circumstances started in your thoughts. Take a look around you right now. Seriously stop reading this and look around you for several seconds then come back to this article.
What you just saw is your “demonstration”. Everything you see around you, you have attracted into your life - from the chair you are sitting in to the building you occupy. Look at your job - you chose to apply for it (or at least you chose to accept the position). Look at your home. You made the decision to live there. Look at your car, your spouse and your friends. Yep, you chose them all. You must realise then that to change these outer circumstances (the outer experience that stems from your decisions) you must first change yourself on the inside. You must change your decisions and your beliefs about what you are capable of achieving, having and deserving.
And remember, it’s all in your head! Learn more about this here...

The Mind and Positive Thinking
1. Start the day with cheers and smiles.
Your whole day depends on how you greet the morning. Therefore, as long as you welcome it with energy and high spirits, everything will go okay. You don’t want the rest of the day to get ruined, do you? Come on, smile! It doesn’t cost anything but is worth everything.
2. Ask for spiritual or ethereal guidance.
Only God and Goddess know what we will be having on the day ahead of us. God and Goddess will surely appreciate a few minutes of praying, meditation, offering, and asking for their divine spiritual guidance. Also, have faith that the Divinities are more than willing to grant our requests as long as it is for our own good. With God and Goddess as our guide, we don’t have any reason not to say and believe in the thought that I can do this. I can make it through this day. Nothing is impossible. After all, God and Goddess are with me.
3. Plan the day ahead.
To avoid mistakes that will cause negative output on your daily activities that will later on become negative thoughts, it is better to plan your work first; after which, work your plan. Make sure today's goals are clearly defined and absorbed by your mind. This can be done even before you get out of bed each day, just so immediate addressing issues as they arise can be avoided.
4. Keep your mind focused on important things.
Set goals and priorities for what you think and do. Visualize practicing your actions. Develop a strategy for dealing with problems. Concentrate on things that need to be taken seriously, but at the same time, take time to relax and enjoy. This way, favorable results may take place.
5. Be detached from the outcome.
They say that life is like a Ferris Wheel; sometimes, you’re on the top, and sometimes at the bottom. This means that there will be times in our lives where some things would not turn out according to what we want them to be. Don't be annoyed if you don't get what you desire. However, do your best in everything you do. Only, don’t get too attached on the probable results that may only cause disappointments and upsets.
6. Try new things and challenges.
See learning and changes as opportunities. There’s nothing wrong in changing attitudes and routines as long as they are for the good and improvement of who you are and what you do. Doing new things may include considering more options for a project, meeting new people from different places, asking lots of questions. Through this, the flow of thinking is directed to improvement and negative thoughts will be easily eradicated.
7. Balance your desires.
We live in a place of opposites and duality – gain and loss, pleasure and pain, light and dark, male and female, love and hate. This is how the cycle of life goes. We can never have all the good things in life at the same time. In love, there will always be someone who gets hurt. In wealth, there will always be people who will not be fortunate enough. Measure and moderation is the primary key.
8. Be realistic.
Make sure that what you want is something possible. Hoping for something to happen which would never really materialize in real life will only bring you disappointment. For instance, you wish to lose weight. Therefore, you have to set a goal and act on appropriate measures within a period of time to achieve what you wish. Hey, No one can get slimmer overnight.
9. Keep track of your mental and physical health.
This way, you will know how far you can keep believing. Know yourself. There is no other person in the world who can tell who you really are. Know your passions, favorites, and principles. Spend some quality time by yourself – reading, listening to music, day dreaming, and the likes. If you know yourself completely, you will be aware of how far can you go physically, mentally, and emotionally.
10. Love yourself.
Before you expect for other people to love and adore you, it is always you who needs to love yourself first. Make a positive commitment to yourself, to learning, work, family, friends, nature, and other worthwhile causes. Praise yourself as much as you praise others once in a while. When you start feeling confident about yourself, positive thoughts will naturally flow to your mind.
11. Laugh.
Enjoy. Have fun. Looking at the brighter side of life starts with entertainment and pleasure. Laughter is the best medicine, so they say. Whether your illness is physical or emotional, a few laughs and giggles can help you throw away heavy baggage such as anxiety, disappointment, or nervousness.
12. Keep a list of your goals and actions.
Familiarize yourself with things you want to accomplish and with the ways you must undertake to complete them. By the time you are certain of what you want to do and carry out in your life, a stronger mind and will power will exist within you.
13. Associate with positive people.
In every classroom, work place, or simply anywhere you go where there are groups of people, look for optimistic ones. There are lots of them, I’m sure. Associate with them, hang-out, discuss matters. They can help you build self-confidence and self-esteem.
14. Make it a habit to ask questions.
This is not equal to dumbness and ignorance; rather, it is associated with seeking more information and understanding matters clearly. With more knowledge, there is also more power.
15. Be open.
We have to accept the fact that we don’t know everything. And that we are continuously learning in every place we go, with every people we meet as everyday passes. We should not close our minds to new ideas and information that comes our way. Our mind is so spacious that it is impossible to fill it up completely. Thus, we should accept worthy things that may help us become better and brighter persons.
16. Have trust in other people.
Although it may seem difficult and risky to give trust to just any people, when you believe in them or confident on what they are doing for you, doubts and negative judgments on them will be unnecessary. Also, it will bring harmonious relationships between you and your colleagues.
17. Forgive and forget.
Mistakes and failures are the root causes of negative thinking. If we somehow learn to let go of all the pain, agony, and fear we try to keep inside our hearts and minds, then there will be nothing more to block our clear thoughts from being expressed. Forgive yourself for committing mistakes and forget these mistakes.
18. Learn from experiences.
Learning inside the classroom is different from learning outside it. In school, one learns the lesson first before taking an exam; while in real life, one takes the test first before learning the lesson. This test in the real life is our experiences. If we failed in that test, i.e. the experience is not so good, we study the situation and learn the lesson. From here, we can avoid committing the same mistake twice.
19. Count your blessings.
Focus on what you have rather than what you don’t have. Absence of our desires will only bring discontentment and disappointment that will only waste our time. Instead, be thankful and appreciative with all the blessings and gifts we receive.
20. Kiss your worries goodbye.
At the end of everyday, before going to sleep, there is no need to keep bad experiences and unhappy moments that had happened in the day within you. Let them go, throw them out of the window and kiss them goodbye. Dream sweetly. As a new day unfolds, new hope arises. Keep believing. Always have faith, feel good about yourself, smile often, and create your own sphere of happiness around you.
Your whole day depends on how you greet the morning. Therefore, as long as you welcome it with energy and high spirits, everything will go okay. You don’t want the rest of the day to get ruined, do you? Come on, smile! It doesn’t cost anything but is worth everything.

Achieving Prosperity
Prosperity
However, before getting into how to achieve prosperity, we should first know what is meant by prosperity. One of my friends is a multi millionaire, however he is chronically ill. He feels very diffident about himself and approaches life meekly. Can we call him prosperous just for the fact that he owns millions of money? Almost all of us will answer a big “NO” to this question. This is proof enough for the fact that money alone does not mean prosperity. Prosperity has many components. Some of them (strictly in order of priority) are good health, peace of mind, optimism, enthusiasm to work, confidence, mutual love for fellow humans and finally money.
Prosperity is a very broad term comprising of all these. Only when one has atleast some of all these components, one can claim to be prosperous. The website http://www.mysticowlcurio.com/unexplainablestore.htm gives a list of various kinds of software available for mind power and happiness. There is software for prosperity as well, that is advertised in this website. This software can be easily downloaded at a very reasonable price. It contains certain frequency recordings at particular beats. When downloads the software, he will be able to listen to these beats clearly. These waves, when heard frequently tend to give utmost optimism levels to the brain helping us to face life confidently.
Prosperity is achieved effectively due the positive energy of these sound waves. We sometimes fall sick or tend to lose our confidence because of the blockages in our brain. These frequencies mainly aim at clearing off these blockages. These, when cleared, frees the brain and gives it enough space to store positive thoughts. The length of our lives does not matter at all. It is how we live, that makes a big difference. People should feel happy to approach us. We should spread happiness where we go. That defines prosperity and it is got by listening to these soothing waves frequently.
As prosperity increases, the quality of life increases proportionately. At the workplace, one tends to exhibit more enthusiasm and energy. He becomes more open minded to learn new things and accepts changes as they come. Accepting change, and knowing that change is the only permanent thing in life, is also prosperity. Once this realization happens, nothing can affect us. Similarly prosperity reduces hatred among people. We learn to love and respect people as they are and we do not expect them to change for us. Our tolerance level increases and we learn to live in cooperation with one another. Money is the final part of prosperity. People who have money are rarely diffident. This confidence comes due to prosperity of other factors. Confident people can achieve anything in life. We just have to take the first step to learn to live in prosperity.

Self-Esteem and African Americans
Self-Esteem and African Americans:
Does Racial Discrimination and Prejudice Affect One’s Self-Worth?
by William S. Cook
"Since African Americans have been in hot water since arriving to North America as captives, how do they view themselves in light of their negative American experiences?
The ancestors of most African Americans came to the West as captives. They fought courageously for more than three hundred years to become free persons. After the Civil War, Congress passed laws that illegalized slavery, granted citizenship to African Americans and gave males voting privileges. Even with these legal adjustments, African Americans have been the victims of racism, segregation, stereotypes from mainstream media and prejudice and discrimination..."

Spirit Guidance
Spirit Guide
by
Do you know you have a spirit guide watching over you, waiting to care for you at times of happiness, sorrow, grief or turmoil? If you don’t then this is the time that you should really know that there is a person like this and it is entirely up to you to discover this good force and capitalize it to your maximum advantage. If you do this, you are sure to see a positive change in your life and then you will never feel things are going wrong – be it your personal matters or your careers it will only go from good to better to best.
I was like you and had spent half my life without knowing the power of this guide and that is when my friend Anne came to my help. Life was taking a toll on me and everything was going negative my way. So, she then told me about this guide and said how this could prove beneficial for me. To quote her – some people may call it the gut feeling or intuition, but what it actually is, is the power of your spirit guide. I was not very convinced and thought what the hell. But since things could get no worse and I was in a pretty bad state I decided to give it a try – after all I had nothing to lose.
Today I am a mother of a beautiful and adorable son, and my business is looking brighter than ever – I don’t even imagine that just about a couple of years back I was in a pathetic situation. The only good thing that happened to me then, was that I tried the unique spirit guide binaural beat. That is when I understood a lot of things about how the spirit guide.
Every individual has a spirit guide. This spirit guide is nothing but a departed soul that hovers around us to take care of us and protect us from any wrong or negative energy that might come our way. These spirits have no intentions of harming us and are there at every juncture in our life when we are caught at crossroads wondering what to do. In my case I’d been married for almost a decade and had no luck conceiving. My spirit guide told me what I was doing wrong and made me realize what has to be corrected. This is more of less like a god send angel designed specifically for you to take care of you end to end.
Every since this discovery, I never ever do anything without consulting my spirit guide. The recording that I told you about helped me discover my guides by helping me get to a state of inner consciousness – more or less a mid theta level of frequency. So, now I am doing exactly what my spirit guide told me – to make public my success story for the benefit of mankind- so that I help as many people I can by telling them about the concept of the spirit guide!

eLearning: Self Hypnosis
Learn Self Hypnosis - The Secret of Achieving a Deep State of Hypnosis
Author: Ryan T JIf you go to any hypnosis seminars or just try to find some information about self hypnosis, most likely you will find one question that is usually asked by people who are new to self hypnosis. "How to easily achieve a deep state of hypnosis?" To tell you the truth, at the early stage of my quest for learning self hypnosis, I also had some difficulties entering the state. I tried to follow the step by step instructions from the self hypnosis CDs that I bought, but the result was minimal at best. It was like there is a hidden wall blocking my way of entering. At that time, I thought I just needed some more practice. But, for some reason I kept having the same problem, until I finally found out the real reasons behind it.
Do you also encounter the same problem? Have you been trying hard to achieve this state with minimal result? Don't worry, actually it's not that difficult to do, once you understand these concepts that I am about to tell you.
1. Willingness to be hypnotized. First, you have to understand that the instructions the hypnotist provides in the self hypnosis CDs are only guides to assist you in entering the state. But at the end, your willingness to be hypnotized is very crucial in determining your ability to enter the state. So, before starting your session, decide that you really want to do this from the bottom of your heart.
2. Elimination of fear. Fear can prevent you from being able to enter the state. Actually it's inversely correlated with your ability to enter the state. The more intense the fear, the more difficult it's for you to enter a state of hypnosis. Try to find good and reliable info about what self hypnosis is and what it can really do for you. This can eliminate the hidden fears and misconception that you might have inside you.
3. Misconception about physical relaxation. When we talk about the subject of self hypnosis, the common knowledge that people have is that to be able to enter a state of hypnosis, you have to be physically relaxed. It's true that one of the characteristics of a person under hypnosis is physical relaxation. But, when your body is physically relaxed, it doesn't mean you are in a state of hypnosis. Referring to the US Dept of Education definition, "hypnosis is the bypass of the critical factor of the conscious mind followed by the establishment of acceptable selective thinking". You can see that there is no mention of physical relaxation or any relaxation at all.
4. Try different induction techniques. One of the most commonly used techniques to bring you into a state of hypnosis is commonly known as progressive relaxation/fractional relaxation. Using this technique, you are asked to progressively relax your body from head to toe. This technique is actually only suitable for certain kind of people. If you find that this technique is not effective for you, try to use different induction techniques. A good author of self hypnosis CDs usually combine several techniques to make it easier for you to enter the state.
