Steps to Unlocking Your Super Mind Power By Jacob Coroner

Jacob Coroner

The mind is a powerful tool. Most people do not realize just how important our minds are. The mind is involved in creating and destroying things. The mind also has the ability to attract positive and negative thoughts. Our minds are the reason behind innovations and inventions and it is only up to us whether we’d like to explore its full potential or not. However, if you know the secrets to unleashing your super mind power, you will achieve so much more than what you can only imagine in your lifetime.


Here are the steps:
Step 1 – Supply your body, especially your brain with nutrients that would enhance its natural performance. Drink the right amounts of water everyday and consume foods that have the essential nutrients that could strengthen your physical body. Try not to eat junk foods and hydrate yourself regularly.


Step 2 – Include natural supplements into your healthy diet. It is necessary to take food supplements because there are times that our bodies do not get that from the food we eat. Chemicals and pesticides have sometime destabilized the nutrients from the food we buy. This is why food supplements help supply nutrients that are lacking from our food. You need to especially take supplements that would enhance your super mind power and this can be found in vitamins and minerals guaranteed to boost brain activity.


Step 3 – Exercise regularly and keep yourself fit all the time. This would help bring in a rich supply of oxygen into your blood stream that would help your brain’s ultimate performance. A regular walk at the park every morning can actually do the trick. Just keep yourself and your bodies moving. Once you become stagnant, your mind also will begin to function poorly.


Step 4 – Manage your stress and your day-to-day pressures. Stress may be inevitable, but you can certainly work your way around it. Try to allot a specific time for silence and meditation. This could help you regain your focus back to what truly matters and help your body feel relaxed and stress-free. When life seems to be spiraling out of control is usually the sign that you need to take a break, otherwise you loose all sense of reason and your immune system will also deteriorate. Research has proven that the most innovative and creative ideas are generated when the mind is in a relaxed state. So manage your stress and unleash your brain power.


Step 5 –Do some mental workout. This means challenge your brain with mental exercises that you can find in books or the computer. This is naturally programmed to help your mind power increase by stimulating the neurons with new sensory information.


Step 6 – Engage in brainwave training. This is found in stress-reduction programs wherein you are encouraged to teach your brain to think of positive thoughts. It helps clear your mind with the clutter and the noise of our busy worlds and drives us to focus on things that could help us reach our full potentials.


Follow these steps and make your super mind power work to your advantage.

Something About Happiness - Part 1 By CD Mohatta

CD Mohatta

Happiness is one of the most commonly used words. We all say - the children look so happy. I am very happy today. You don't look happy. Any reason? How to make a happy world? How to avoid sad feelings and feel happy? Which pill can help us? The discussion about happiness is endless. Does science give a common definition of happiness? General answers are available that say that happiness is a state when one feels good, elated, contented, good etc. Is happiness a life long gift or an emotion experienced for a short time.


If I win a lottery, I become happy. As I spend all the money, I become unhappy again. When you call me a good person, I feel happy and when you curse me, I feel very unhappy. If I look at the dead body of my old friend, I feel unhappy and when I look at laughing faces of children I feel happy. We have no control. Outside forces and events control our emotions. We are all toys. That has no free will. This is difficult to believe but true.


Let us find out what is not happiness. Low self esteem, feelings of despondency, sadness, guilt, helplessness, frustration, low interest, uncertainty, and all such negative emotions are not happy emotions. They rather make us unhappy. Now let us talk of what is happiness? Feeling good, cheerful outlook, positive thoughts, winning attitudes, satisfied living, enjoyment, and all such emotions that make us feel good are happy feelings


Is happiness same for all of us? If I give a certain amount to few people, some may become very happy and some may become angry and some will not care either way. Am I making myself clear? So happiness is not something that we feel in equal measure. I may be very happy when I watch the star lit night, but you may enjoy only the bright sunshine. So each one of us has his/her own happiness.


Some of us are happy when we get a large amount of money, some when they can do lot of creative work, some when they can make others feel good and so on. All of us have our unique set of values and desires. We ourselves many times do not know about them. It become difficult therefore to know how to keep others happy and this ignorance causes most of inter personal problems. But these differences in our emotional reactions make us human beings; otherwise we are no different than animals.


Surprisingly, many of us wish to be happy and feel like we don't know what it feels like. We may have been struggling with depression for a long time. We think we will be happy when we find perfect love, or don't have to worry about money, or don't have problems with our family, or if we can only be a success.


These things can help happiness but they aren't really what makes happiness. You could have a great love, money, success, and a loving family and still be depressed. Happiness happens in the 'in between' spaces. It happens in moments when we relax and appreciate the little things. When we are able to find happiness within ourselves and the little moments of the day, it actually makes it much easier to find love, have better relationships, be more successful in our career, and many other things. Please read further in part two of this article series.

How to Take Out Frustration or Anger- Without Hurting Anyone Else By Mike Lang

Mike Lang

Often times one can get so frustrated or angry that all they want to do is smack someone down or pound the wall. This can cause injury to others as well as themselves. There are other things that can be done to ease the frustration and anger that will not cause harm to anyone. Here are a few suggestions.


At the initial onset of frustration or anger, stop and count. If 10 won’t do it count to 100 in a focused manner. This will stop the mind’s urge to do something immediately without thinking and possibly make the situation worse.


If you are with the person causing the frustration or anger move away, get out of there, go somewhere else until you can calm down and reasonably assess the situation. Getting into a fight isn’t going to help anything.


If you are in a car and start to go into a rage, do not act out. You could hurt yourself and worse, hurt or kill an innocent person. Pull to the side of the road until sanity returns.


Now that the initial frustration or anger has been quelled there are some things that you can do to keep it that way. Humans like to dwell on things that bother them instead of letting it go and going on with life. Get that frustration and anger out of your system for good.


Go to the gym and let off some steam. Work out on the machines or find some boxing gloves and knock around a bag. Imagine the person’s face on that bag and punch away. You can’t hurt anyone but yourself this way.


Find a place to go where no one will hear you and nothing is around that can hurt you. Go for a walk in a secluded woods, take a friend if you don’t feel safe enough to go alone. Once you get to where you don’t think anyone can hear you yell. Yell as loud as you can. Scream. Tell that person what you really think of them even though they aren’t there. Let it all go.


Find some friends that understand the situation and go to a paintball court. Rent equipment and understand safety issues that come along with a paintball game. Take out your frustrations on your opponents, being careful not to go overboard of course. Paint ball is fun but it can also alleviate some of your frustrations and anger especially if you imagine the person you are angry at is the hay bale you are shooting at.


Go to the batting cage. Smacking a ball around with a bat really does ease the aggravation you may have. The ball can’t go far because you are in a cage so everything should be safe.


Anything physical will probably do the trick but don’t forget about the mental issues that surround frustration and anger. You need to let the issue or even the person causing your anguish go. Imagine throwing the issues over a big cliff. They are gone and there is nothing more you can do with them. Just be sure you don’t actually push the person causing the issues over that cliff. You don’t want to get yourself in a lot of trouble over a silly issue that can be taken care of in another way.

Let the Naysayers Ruin Their Own Lives By Mark Yarrobino

Mark Yarrobino

One of the most common problems I see - if not the single most common problem - that stops people from pursuing their goals toward a better life comes when they have to deal with the opinions of those around them. Their friends and family.


You see, anytime you try to make a change in your life, something to improve your life, that means that you're going to have to step outside of your comfort zone at some point. And that means doing something that you're not used to doing. Doing something that isn't common.


And that can be a bit frightening.


And it's frightening for the people you know, as well. They're afraid of change, and so they're probably a little scared for your well being, too.


And that's all well and good, but it's often taken way too far. They project their fear of change onto you, and say whatever they have to to keep you from going through with it.


You see, most people don't like change. They don't like for things to be different than what they're used to. They think that anything that's out of the ordinary is 'crazy' or 'weird' or whatever. The only thing that matters is that you fall in line and follow orders.


For some reason, they think that tradition and the status quo are the only way. Well, to that point I call bull shit. The fact is that everything that is traditional was once new, and I'll bet that when it was new back then, there were traditionalists at the time talking about how they don't like that newfangled thingamajig.


So why wouldn't you take a chance on something new? I've written before about how failure is a good thing, and even necessary, as long as you're smart about it. As long as you have a plan for what happens next. As long as you're prepared for both the worst case and the best case scenario.


Another problem that the naysayers have is that they don't much care for anyone else to be successful. There's an intense amount of jealousy out there in the world, and it manifests itself in the form of some folks trying to sabotage anyone else's happiness. Why, I'll never know.


In my opinion, that's just about the worst thing you can do in life. To ruin someone else's dreams because you're too scared to do anything about your own situation, and too jealous to allow it in another.


But, back to you. Why would you let someone else's fear and jealousy turn into your own fear of change? I know that a lot of these people will be close to you, and that you will value their advice. But if you're dealing with the type of person who wants to sabotage your success, then you have to do something about it.


The first thing I recommend doing is showing them your cleverly thought out plan, and letting them know that you're prepared with fallback options should anything go wrong, and that you're also prepared for if things go right.


For example, if you're looking to get into a different line of work, show them that you're updating your resume, speaking with job placement specialists, going on interviews, making sure you get a new job before quitting your old one. Things like that. A schedule, if you will. And for a lot of people, that will convince them.


But if it doesn't, and if they're dead set on sabotaging you no matter what, then I recommend ignoring them, or even cutting them off. At least, on this issue. Because, frankly, what good is it doing you to let them poison your development?


I say that as long as you approach any change intelligently, with a plan for each step, and contingency plans should anything not go exactly right, then you're the most qualified person to make these decisions for yourself. Not anyone else, and especially not anyone who's going to be working against you and trying to put you down.


Let them ruin their own lives. Make yours a success.
