MY SELF HELP PROJECT

  WHAT CAUSES US TO DELAY AND POSTPONE? As soon as you open your eyes, you stare at the ceiling and reach for your cell phone, which you use to cruise through your social media feeds, often without even seeing what you're reading. It's possible to spend half an hour staring at your phone, with a broken fingernail, and consciously or subconsciously absorbing the fact that the world is at war, the economy is sluggish, there has been another murder, and we live in an untrustworthy and corrupt society. You begin your day (thank you, God!) with that psychology and "push." Even as I'm writing it, the thought of leaving this assignment for later and going to bed for a while makes me want to give up. The fact that you must get up, yes or no, is a result of an obligation that forces you to do so; but, if it were up to you, your actions would be identical to those taken by those with no hourly commitments to get up. There is no inspiration that propels us forward, no cause ...

Do you feel like you're trapped in a rut? Do you ever feel like you're always on the go, that life is a never-ending cycle of running from here to there or from one duty to the next, with little time to relax? That money worries about how to pay those rising bills, or where the next payment for your children's education, your family's healthcare, or your house mortgage is coming from occupying your mind much of the time, or that relationships with your family or spouse suffer because you don't have time to spend with them because you're working all the hours there are to pay the bills, after all, aren't you? Despite your best efforts, nothing ever seems to go as planned, and your constant state of annoyance and angst has become a part of who you are. One day, you'll be able to accomplish all of the things you've always wanted to do when you have a little more time to yourself. It's possible that you've set yourself up for failure and dissatis...

Do you ever take a moment to notice your thoughts? To Arjuna, Krishna tells him in the ancient Vedic epic Bhagavad-Gita: "One must deliver himself with the help of his mind, and not degrade himself." The conditioned soul's best friend and the worst adversary is the mind. If you have mastered your mind, it will be your best friend, but if not, it will be your worst opponent.  When you begin to observe your mind, one of the first things you may discover is that you have no control over it. How many times have you read anything, perhaps even tried to focus your attention on the topic, but then realized that you were thinking about something entirely different simultaneously?  Your mind is a separate entity from yourself, just as your body is a separate entity from your consciousness. You must control your thoughts in order to actualize your desires. There are times when you need to focus, meditate, and envision. You must learn to visualize because  Visualization is the...

With all of the fear surrounding mind control and how Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) can be (and is) used to "mess with people's brains," it's past time to let the cat out of the bag and inform the public of what is actually achievable with this technology. Using Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), for example, is it possible to instill a desire in someone to do something? Yes, it is possible. Allow me to issue two cautionary statements before you learn how to do it and how to protect yourself. First and foremost, do not subject someone to this type of treatment unless you are compelling them to do something they desire that is beneficial to them, such as exercising or eating nutritious meals. Anything else may seem interesting to consider, but it is best to leave it at that. Just think about it; don't really do it. It's just not a kind thing to do to other people, in my opinion. Second, you must be extremely proficient in NLP, report writing, anchoring, a...

Your psychological well-being is an incredible component of who you are as a person. Personal development is a way of life that has an impact on your thoughts, behaviors, and how you treat those around you. It is a lifelong process. It has a significant impact on your overall well-being as well as the relationships in your life.  Often, we become so preoccupied with the physical features of what is on the exterior that we neglect to care for what is on the inside of us. Consciously and unconsciously exercising our brains is important in enhancing one's life and promoting a healthy state of mind as we get older. It impacts everything we do and the people closest to us when we are sad, anxious, exhausted, and annoyed. Someone once told me, when in a depressive mood, that she couldn't even watch television because she didn't want to be among people who were still alive. When I'm feeling low, I often think of that statement, and it brings to mind a place I'd rather not ...

It all starts with the proper concept, backed up by a good attitude, then actions that shape our habits and a defined goal that offers the discipline to keep our new habits going. Also, it's important to remember that the question isn't "can we do it?" but rather "would we do it?" Habits are extremely versatile instruments. Our everyday routines have the ability to shape the course of our life. They are the ones who determine what we are entitled to.  Comfort zones are ideal environments for habits to flourish. This is most likely the primary cause of individuals being enslaved to old behaviors and refusing to improve their lives. For this reason, established behaviors are very hard to break. Even the smallest behaviors become deeply ingrained in our psyches over time. We're so used to them that we never pause to consider whether or not they're appropriate. However, altering it would leave us feeling uncomfortable and out of place. We typically carry...

Even after we have completed growing and are adults, our brain continues to develop. On many levels, research has shown that we may impact brain changes and enhance our brain performance. Here's how to do it. Your mind is extremely amazing. It has an impact on the way almost every other component of your body works. Despite this, we frequently devote more time and energy to our bodies than to our brains and neurological systems. This might be due to the fact that our understanding of how the brain works is still developing. It takes time for research to be extensively disseminated and delivered in such a way that it can be absorbed and used by a large audience. The facts are becoming clearer as science progresses. Actively caring for our brain's health may be really beneficial. Until recently, specialists believed that our brains were fully developed throughout early childhood and that they altered little, if at all, as we grew older. We now know that the brain is a very mallea...
