How You can Learn from Successful People when You have Limited Time to Spare
"The shortest route to success in any field of endeavour and life in general, is to seek the company of those who have a great deal of wisdom."
~ Anthony Robbins, in his book Awaken the Giant Within
Learning from Successful People
In today's fast-paced economy, staying ahead of competition has been a great concern to many. The old deal in business has changed. Lifetime employment is a thing of the past,1873 Ugg Bailey Button Triplet Navy Boots. With the advent of automation technology, hard skills can hardly guarantee you a life-long job.
Interviews with top managers have consistently revealed that they want empowered individuals who can take the initiative to make good business decisions. An individual can hardly make a good decision if his mind is blank like a piece of white copier paper.
Unfortunately, it takes time to constantly research; to read up about other businesses; to read up on new industry techniques; to expose our minds to new dimensions of thought.
Learning through the experience of others is the shortest route to filling up that piece of paper. It shows you the right path that has already been bashed through by your forerunner and prevents you from repeating the same mistakes that have already been made.
In an ideal situation, it means getting close to successful people in areas of our lives whom we admire, just to have that little conversation with them to learn how they did it,First and foremost.
It is just a matter whether they have the time for us.
And that is also why successful people publish books.
We do not need to spend years to get a Masters in Computing to become an IBM employee, just to learn how its visionary CEO, Louis Gerstner, made decisions that revived the fading corporation with a 360-degree transformation.
All we have to do is simply to pick up his book "Who Says Elephants Can't Dance" from a bookstore and finish it while sitting in our comfortable little couches.
This,isn't it worth the effort, however, has proven to be a challenge to some. Statistics show that less than ten percent of people who buy a book read past the first few chapter, the primary reason being there are too many other distractions in our daily lives that demand our time and attention.
How to Do That if You are Busy
Time is a commodity that is so scarce when we pursue a life of personal growth and career success. The more successful we get; the less time we have. Yet, we need this time to constantly update ourselves to keep ahead of competition.
However, there is way too much information out there for us to possibly keep up on; be it the new business concepts and applications in top business books, or the new time and stress management strategies in top self-improvement books.
It also takes too much time to slowly mill through every single page of a book. By the end of the month when you have finally finished the book, high chance that you will not be able to recall what you have read in the earlier parts of the book.
You can spend some money to attend a speed-reading class and learn how to save time and read a book quickly.
While the shortest route to success is to learn through the experience of others; the quickest route to learning is to read summaries,the amount of water.
Alternatively, you can pay for someone else's time to read and write a summary for you.
A summary helps you to bridge the gap between desire for more knowledge and constraint of time.
A former President of the U.S. once said that it is this service that kept him in the loop on news and profiles of people. It is also one of the things he really missed after leaving office.
The service of summarising books has traditionally been available only to the top 10% of the world's most influential people. This is what our ministers have been doing.
We can now enjoy this high-value summary service. Do a search on Google with the word "book summary" and you will be able to see for yourself.

Daily Motivation Tips For Blah Days by Amy Twain
Of course,but once opened looks as if a Pendaflex bomb went off. Sure in theory you know where the files are, there are those 'blah-days' in which you thought you woke up at the wrong side of the bed, or maybe it's just not your day at all,1873 Ugg Bailey Button Triplet Navy Boots. So how do you deal with a foul mood so it won't wreck your entire day?
1) Be a nature lover once again. Perhaps it's time to reconnect with Mother Nature again. Be one with nature and perhaps the smoke-filled hustle and bustle of the city life is also causing your foul mood. Try having picnic in a garden. Lie in the grass of your courtyard and watch birds fly.
2) Mix yourself with shades of orange and yellow. Leatrice Eiseman, author of "More Alive With Color", explains that these bright and warm hues tend to make people a lot joyful probably because they remind us of the sun. No orange or yellow outfits to don? You can pick up flowers with these colors to give you an instant lift.
3) LOL facing your PC. Even if you're stuck in your cubicle or desk, try to amuse yourself from time to time. There are tons of hilarious stuff in the Internet. Aside from searching in Youtube, you can check out funnyordie.com. Who says you can't crack up alone?
4) Give your harsh overhead lighting a rest; switch on your desk lamp for a change. Softer and lighter glow could help soothe and relax you. Plus, you don't have to squint your eyes because of so much brightness.
5) Amp your mood with your fave tunes. If things go wrong, you can always rely on your music to transcend you to another state...of happiness that is. If you want to let off steam of irritation and anger to get lost, you can play heavy and banging tunes,check out http. If you want something to relax you, then pick a slower and soothing music.

serious injury or legal problems.
Anger and Your Driving: Use Self
Place: Fashion Island, Newport Beach, California
The incident: Jane, a middle aged professional woman had an altercation with another woman who accosted her after she refused to give up her parking spot,1873 Ugg Bailey Button Triplet Navy Boots.
Jane clearly reached the coveted spot first, but the other woman asked her to move, explaining she was 20 minutes late for a doctor's appointment. At first, Jane thought it was a joke, but before she knew it, the two women were tussling on the concrete.
Most people feel angry in situations when someone making outrageous requests of us. This is because our brains are hardwired' to react with anger when we are frustrated or when obstacles prevent us from reaching our goals.
Aggressive driving behavior is due, in part, to a breakdown of an individual's internal control of their emotions in public places.
Other common driving frustrations and irritations that often cause angry feelings and weakening of control include being:
Stuck in traffic while late for an appointment
Delayed by a driver going 10 miles an hour below the speed limit
Threatened by driver trying to intimidate you
Getting cut off by a driver
Gaining control of our emotions and more importantly, our behavior is often a matter of finding a way to change our perspective or vista of the situation.
Frequently, what we tell ourselves is so automatic that we don't even realize what it is we are thinking; yet, our thinking patterns are what make us more angry or calm us by changing how we experience that which is frustrating us.
Example 1: Getting cut off. Someone triggers anger by cutting you off in traffic; you automatically tell yourself things like What a jerk; he has no right to do that to me; I'm going to get even; he did that to me on purpose; why does he disrespect me like that? How dare he do that to me, etc.
Self-talk alternatives: Instead, try changing your self-talk to:
I can stay calm,but important; he might be a dangerous threat to me.
I'm sure it is not personal; he is cutting me off because he is stressed and in a hurry.
I'm not going to radiate and stoop to his or her level; there are many reasons for his or her behavior; maybe he just phoned his boss who said he would get fired if not in the office in the next ten minutes or he may be reacting to family responsibilities.
Benefits of your new perspective:
Increased tolerance and more understanding of possible reasons for the other driver's bad behavior.
Resolve not to make his or her problems your problem. (Remember: it doesn't have to be!)
Understand that getting even to right the wrong of another driver is not justified or rational,it is a better strategy in the job search.
Remember that maintaining a hostile attitude on the road is harmful to society innocent drivers, their families and their loved ones.
Example 2: Slow driver:
You are late to an appointment but stuck behind a gray-haired lady going 15 miles an hour below the speed limit. Your automatic thoughts: Why does this always happen to me? She is doing this to make me late. Why can't she get out of my way? How inconsiderate she is! She shouldn't have a driver's license,and much easier to be around..'
Self-talk options:
She is not driving slowly to make me late; she probably isn't even aware of me.
Maybe she is old and impaired and doing the best she can.
Perhaps she just came from the doctor's office with bad news and is on the verge of tears.
I can't control how fast she drives so why get upset?
Angry feelings are a normal response to driving frustrations. Unfortunately, our automatic thoughts' may increase these feelings and cause us to lose control.
Learning different self-talk' gives us a powerful tool to control our negative emotions on the road so we can avoid death, serious injury or legal problems.

loving kindness.
I Hope Things Pick Up
As I heard these words come out of the mouth of a woman I had regarded as a
friend for over ten years, I felt my heart collapse. Another word spoken,
another relationship broken. I had heard so many discounting things from her so
many times before. I'd tried to ignore them, thinking that surely she couldn't
mean those things. Certainly she honored the journey I was on and the courage
it was taking to move forward,symbolic mind.
Didn't she know how difficult it was for me to leave the work I'd been doing,1873 Ugg Bailey Button Triplet Navy Boots, to
leave a situation that was unkind and unloving, to embrace work and a life that
I adored? Yes, it's challenging and difficult sometimes. So many people admire
the strength and courage that I've shown. So many people are championing me and
cheering me on. So many people pick me up every day with their support and
loving kindness.
As I spoke about this with another friend, she asked me to look into my heart
when I thought of leaving my work and returning to work for someone else. I did
and my heart withered and died. She knew it. I knew it. The challenges may be
strong ones, but my strength and the power behind me is stronger still. I have
not been brought this far to be dropped by my Higher Power and shown all the
love surrounding me to not expect that even more love lies ahead.
And yet, these were unloving words from someone I had thought of as a friend.
The night before I had this conversation I had been at a women's gathering where we were talking about needing to leave people behind who don't support us or who make us feel bad about ourselves when we're around them. It's essential that we learn to "pick up" ourselves sometimes to grow and sometimes to go.
I learned that there are some people I need to leave behind. There are some
people I can't share myself with, even if I've had a past with them and called
them my friend.
I've learned it's my responsibility to let them go with love and blessings for
the lessons they've taught me, for the gifts they've given me. I've learned
that some people need me to play small so that they can feel safe and secure in
their own limited lives. I've learned to let them go with the realization that
I don't need to repeat those lessons they were teaching me anymore.
I've learned to pick myself up by forgiving them and having compassion for them.
I've learned to pick myself up by forgiving myself and having compassion for
myself, too. I've learned to pick myself up with the right words and actions.
I've learned to pick myself up with endorsements, acknowledging my successes.
I've learned to pick myself up so I vibrate at a higher level and naturally
attract,or their government, with grace and ease, experiences of a like vibration.
I've learned that I can choose to surround myself with people who love and
support me people who see me and the vision I choose to have of the world.
I've learned that I can choose to have a circle of friends who absolutely adore
me and the gifts I have to bring to the world,"Eliminate carbs and lose weight quick". I've learned that I can
celebrate life and living every single day with these friends, opening more and
more to the feelings of joy!
I've learned that I deserve the very best in life. I've learned to honor myself
and to treat myself with respect and dignity.
I've learned that life is an amazing adventure. I choose to leave this life
knowing that I've danced every dance, sung every song, written every story,
loved and been loved deeply, and that my heart is overflowing with the joys of
this experience. I choose to live my life without holding back. I choose to
live every day of my life knowing that I am truly blessed to be alive.

Who’s Directing Your Life
A New Conversation About Dreams: Who’s Directing Your Life,"I want to lose weight."?
While aspects of you encourage, "Go for your dreams," simultaneously other parts threaten, "Don't you dare." A cast of characters lives inside of you and at different times you may receive conflicting or contradictory messages. If you are want to be happy, successful, and fulfilled, consider putting your "dreamer" in the director's chair.
What are the voices inside of you saying,1873 Ugg Bailey Button Triplet Navy Boots? As you turn the volume up on the voice of your dreamer and down on the voice of your doubter, you can practice discernment allowing for greater clarity. To assist you in hearing these voices, let's set up a simple scenario. Picture something you want, something that matters to you. Choose a personal or professional dream and consider how these various parts of you might respond.
Dreamer – The dreamer inside says, "What if…" and is open to a creative process without over-analyzing it. This is the part of you that imagines, believes in possibilities, has hope, and seeks kindred spirits. Dreamers talk about their ideas with intention, clarity, and passion. Great dreamers get others excited about their vision. And most importantly, successful dreamers take action to make their dreams a reality.
Doubter – This voice is often heard saying such things as, "I don't think this is a good idea." The doubter provides concern touting, "But what if…" and imagines the worst. If you crank the volume up it can even become annihilating with accusations shouting things like, "Are you out of your mind?" William Shakespeare said, "Our doubts are traitors." Carlos Castaneda said, "In order to experience the magic of life,some tasty morsels, you must banish the doubt." My favorite quote on this subject is in The Prophet where Kahlil Gibran wrote, "Doubt is a feeling too lonely to know that Faith is its twin brother."
Realist – "Be realistic…" Modulate the doubter down a notch or two and it becomes the essential voice of the realist. This part wants to know, "What's the plan?" including where is the time and money coming from. However, in the early phase of dreaming, you may not know. The challenge is not to allow the realist to immediately turn into a doubter who might judge or obliterate your idea. Honor this voice by (to the best of your ability) giving it the information it needs. If you ignore or reject it, it will cleverly agitate or distract you. Being realistic offers prudence and makes you do your homework but if you are overly realistic or go to strategy too soon, you will most likely compromise the dream and kill your passion.
Visionary – This voice says, "Anything is possible so let's dream big!" These are the leaders and people we look up to and admire. They have learned the process of realizing their dreams and embody what it means to be a big dreamer. Setbacks or failures do not stop them. Simply put, a visionary has a vision and invites others to join them. They are found in all walks of life and we are often so inspired when they are in the presence of a true visionary that we sign up just to be near them or part of what they're doing.
A visionary is not defined by the size of the dream since dreams are precious and come in all sizes, shapes and areas of life. If you were living your dream life, how would it be different? What do you see yourself doing? How many lives would you touch? What would you change? Who would you help if you were truly living as a visionary?
Avoid Sabotaging Your Dream
When these different voices merge they can become muddled and result in confusion and poor decisions. For example, you might poison your dream by projecting doubt into it. Then with each step you take toward what you want, you also move toward your doubt. Doubt and fear, which most of us may have at some time or another (especially when embarking on a new or big dream) do not belong in your dream. These feelings are simply part of your reality. This is a subtle and essential point.
Here's a simple technique for avoiding this sabotaging pattern. On a piece of paper draw a line across the middle. On the top half write out your dream with as much detail as possible. On the bottom write out your reality in relationship to your dream, where you are now. Reality usually includes good news and (so called) bad, as well as any fear or doubt you may have. Just state the facts and your feelings about them.
Now, which one are you more committed to; your dream or your reality? We tend to choose "reality" when we don't have a clearly defined dream or when we saturate our dream with doubt. If your dream is loaded with your worst imagined nightmares, reality will always seem safer and saner,No Victors. But doubt placed appropriately as part of your reality, allows two things to happen. First, no longer blown out of proportion, it's an obstacle that basically requires a strategy to manage it. But more importantly, with doubt where it rightfully belongs, you are free to move forward.
It's like a play. All the characters have wisdom and insight, but you can't clearly understand them when they're speaking at once. Take time to tune in, to listen, and on a regular basis, have the courage to give your dreamer its directorial debut or even the leading role.

mentally or emotionally. Unfortunately
It’s My Blankey and I’m Keeping It!

Sometimes it's an actual "blankey", or it may be a pillow, a doll or some other favorite toy or scrap of material. It's the "thing" that provides a measure of security to developing young minds in a sometimes scary new world. It's the "thing" the little ones sleep with, eat with, and lug around until it becomes almost unrecognizable. God forbid that we should ever misplace our blankey. It would be absolutely impossible to live without it!
But then we grow taller and get older. We mature and no longer have a need for our once dearly loved "blankey".
Right…
If you believe that last statement, I have some prime hillside property in Tennessee I can make you such a deal on! I know, I know – very few of us are still hauling around the old tattered blanket or Mrs,Decide what you really want. If you are living the life you want then. Beasley doll from our youth. We'd get more weird looks than any of us could probably handle. However, I'd bet at least a nickel or two that every single one of us is the proud possessor of some kind of blankey. And yes, in some cases it may still be some kind of object – only now, since we're adults and obviously more mature – it's more likely our "lucky charm/shirt/shoes/penny/key ring/hat/rock/you name it". It's the "thing" that provides that little extra level of security and comfort in a still scary world.
No, of course there's nothing wrong with carrying a lucky whatever around with us. Well, up to a certain point that is. If we go to extremes and refuse to even leave the house without it for fear that we'll be hit by an eighteen-wheeler, we really should be seeking some professional counseling. But you knew that already, didn't you?
Frequently, our adult blankey is not a physical object. It often comes in the form of a personal belief system. It's a concept – a focus – that we rely on to act as our haven from the storms of life. Our security in yes, a still scary world,** Set Goals-- then you have something you love to work for or to work towards.. Frequently, our adult blankey is based upon our religious or spiritual beliefs,1873 Ugg Bailey Button Triplet Navy Boots. Sometimes it's part of our quest for development – physically, mentally or emotionally. Unfortunately, it occasionally also can take the form of self-debilitating actions used to compensate for a perceived lack of adequacy in some part of ourselves.
It's obvious that (in reference to the last sentence) that an obsessive quest for power, money, attention, etc. is not necessarily in our best interests. And it should be apparent too, that a reasonable reliance on our religious or spiritual beliefs to carry us through life can be a good thing for us – as can reasonable efforts toward any type of self-improvement.
The problem is that sometimes we carry things to an extreme. We become so over-focused on our blankey that we forget that there's a big blob of real world all around us. We cover our heads with our blankey and try to hide from the realities of life. And unfortunately, we frequently succeed.
Blankies are good. They can be comforting and can provide a foundation for our lives – and for our personal development. They can also encase our minds, restrain our normal curiosities, and inhibit our ability to truly enjoy life. We need to be careful of that, I think

reliable alternative is needed.
Easy weight
There are many different reasons why someone may want to lose weight. You may want to feel healthier, look better, fit into your old clothes or even have been advised by a medical practitioner to get in shape. However, if you are one of those people who battle constantly with your weight then you already know how hard it is to stick to a diet. In the majority of cases they just don't work!
All the current slimming pills and weight-loss fads are of extremely limited effectiveness,It's like opening the door that seems too heavy for you to open it alone.. When you take into consideration the dangers of surgical procedures and the lack of long-term studies of new-fad diets a safe, reliable alternative is needed.
Although many claim that there are painless ways of losing weight the simple is truth is that weight-loss, like everything else worth achieving in life, requires some effort on your part,abundance. However there are techniques and tools to make your transition to health much more enjoyable and easy. A great example is the Paul McKenna famous system which was tested on British television with remarkable results. It didn't even involve hypnosis!
McKenna spent 13 years analyising the behaviours of naturally thin people in order to devise his weight-loss system and found some amazing things.
Every person has an inborn weight control mechanism, a set point that attempts to maintain a particular amount of fat on the body. Based on this premise Paul McKenna formulated his easy to use weight-loss system which as I mentioned earlier had an enormous beneficial affect on the British TV viewing public. He even allowed people to eat what they wanted and they still lost massive amounts of weight!
Normally when we go on a diet we are forcing the body to adjust to a new way of eating. This is in effect resisting the powerful totally natural urges the body has to prevent energy deficit. So appetite suppressants may help to reduce these drives, and forcing a change in eating habits may retrain the body and mind into a new eating regime but the body will still has these urges because they are inherent and totally natural.
In addition many people overeat due to stress or the desire to suppress negative emotions or feelings of discomfort. Everyone knows the classic 'comfort eater',1873 Ugg Bailey Button Triplet Navy Boots. This is why the use of self hypnosis is so effective for weight-loss because it can retrain the mind to view food, fitness and eating in more healthy ways.
However, McKenna's research shows that, if you follow your own body's natural rhythm and don't force yourself into strict eating habits or deny yourself the food you want most then you will be much more successful at losing weight. By denyng yourself certain things you set up resistance and you will make it much more difficult to stick to your weight-loss plan. The mind is tricky and I am sure you will agree that you always want something more when you know that you can't have it!
The key is to stop denying yourself the foods you really enjoy but to at them in moderation. I know this is easier said than done but McKenna has some simple yet powerful techniques to ensure your success. Basically you can eat what you want!
Stop eating once your full! Many of us, myself included, tend to keep eating after our body has sent the brian the message "right stop eating I'm satisfied". We need to learn to recognise these signs and take heed of them.
Take an extra 15 minutes of exercise a day. Spread it over the day so it is achieved in very small steps and you will be burning up more calories.

Take an extra 15 minutes of exercise a day. Spread it over the day so it is achieved in very small steps and you will be burning up more calories.
So to outline:
Naturally thin people eat whatever they want! Now this may lead you to believe that they have a higher metobolism or have been blessed with fat burning genes but the truth is much simplier and applies to everyone. Which leads us to our next point.
Naturally thin people have a different psychological view about food and fitness. This is why they can eat what they want. By changing what food means to you at a deep subconscious level you change your automatic responses to food and exercise.
Naturally thin people don't have uncontrollable food cravings. McKenna teaches that any cravings you have are merely learned behaviour and they can be unlearned. He shows how it is possible to break all cravings and re-programme your mind in just minutes
If you follow these simple steps, as outlined in this article, you are guaranteed success and a new healthy, fit body.

only you take it a step higher. If you could view or perceive your intention on your thoughts
Creative Visualization Strategies For The Beginner by Amy Twain
We're all familiar with the effectiveness and the powers of positive thinking,1873 Ugg Bailey Button Triplet Navy Boots. Whenever you think positively, a positive stream of energy is built and your mood and behaviors are influenced by your subconscious mind. Not only you think about what it is that you want, but you also picture it as well, intensifying the magnitude of your thinking.
Each and everyone of us has a natural capacity to utilize their imagination, but for a beginner, the idea of creative visualization might seem complicated.

Leadership Is Power: Test Your Ethics
"The payoff for the ethical person is a reputation for honesty. It's a payoff that makes every undertaking easier and attracts unsolicited opportunities. It's also a payoff that results in strong friendships based on trust. And I don't think there's anything more rewarding. -Don Dwyer
How much energy do you invest in developing your natural abilities and skills? Would you rather be a leader or a follower? Leaders like winning and tend to think well of themselves. They influence others by what they do, rather then by what they say. Most of the time, leaders also do the right things. Followers like to look for anyone that will tell them what to do and carry them through life,1873 Ugg Bailey Button Triplet Navy Boots. They are never in a position of power and are not rewarded for their lack of leadership ability.
When you help others discover their abilities, and achieve greater success and happiness,Sometimes people get addicted to wounded sadness as a way of avoiding the core sadness, you become better at what you do and add to your emotional prosperity. These qualities are the power of leadership,you can take steps to move through it.. Others are moved by your behavior and influence; this is ethics in action. Leaders are valuable in any organization. You are looked up to, able to make good decisions, and your strength to build on past successes is valuable.
Leaders must demonstrate a high level of ethics. Acting in a moral light, obeying the laws, and following through on your commitments, is the payoff for doing the right thing. It makes each task that you have to do much easier and many unexpected opportunities will come your way. Now that's rewarding.
Success is based on ethical goals. It carries with it a moral and ethical quality that is based on your value system. When you become successful by unethical, or dishonest means, it is not lasting. Therefore, success built on goals that include good moral values, means more and lasts longer. You feel better and others respond to your good moral character.
10 WAYS TO ACQUIRE LEADERSHIP POWER
1. Set ethical examples for others to imitate: being moral, honest, trustworthy, and reliable.
2. Associate with others who match your values and passion for success.
3. Train others to reach for their goals.
4. Give praise when or where it's due.
5. Show gratitude as often as possible.
6. To be not only in command of others, but of self.
7. To not be afraid to make and admit mistakes.
8. Having a good grasp on managing your time,one thing that missing number will do.
9. Knowing how to seek and accept guidance when required.
10. Believing in the power of Faith.
Managing and controlling your thoughts, ideas, and actions; being the best you can be and helping others be their best are signs of good leadership. And demonstrating good moral values is the greatest part of being a leader. When you make every effort to reveal your best self-image you will never feel a lack of confidence, and your most cherished plans and aspirations will materialize. If your image is satisfactory, you will often value your abilities, skills, and actions, and your plans will move you toward success. Are you continuing to be a leader?

Eating Disorders: Facts About Eating Disorders and the Search for Solutions
Eating is controlled by many factors, including appetite, food availability, family, peer, and cultural practices. Attempts at voluntary control. Dieting to a body weight leaner than needed for health is highly promoted by current fashion trends, sales campaigns for special foods, and in some activities and professions.
Eating disorders involve serious disturbances in eating behavior, such as extreme and unhealthy reduction of food intake or severe overeating, as well as feelings of distress or extreme concern about body shape or weight. Researchers are investigating how and why initially voluntary behaviors, such as eating smaller or larger amounts of food than usual, at some point move beyond control in some people and develop into an eating disorder.
Studies on the basic biology of appetite control and its alteration by prolonged overeating or starvation have uncovered enormous complexity, but in the long run have the potential to lead to new pharmacologic treatments for eating disorders.
Eating disorders are not due to a failure of will or behavior,1873 Ugg Bailey Button Triplet Navy Boots; rather, they are real, treatable medical illnesses in which certain maladaptive patterns of eating take on a life of their own. The main types of eating disorders are anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa.
A third type, binge-eating disorder, has been suggested but has not yet been approved as a formal psychiatric diagnosis. Eating disorders frequently develop during adolescence or early adulthood, but some reports indicate their onset can occur during childhood or later in adulthood.
Eating disorders frequently co-occur with other psychiatric disorders such as depression, substance abuse, and anxiety disorders. In addition, people who suffer from eating disorders can experience a wide range of physical health complications. Including serious heart conditions and kidney failure which may lead to death. Recognition of eating disorders as real and treatable diseases, therefore, is critically important.
Females are much more likely than males to develop an eating disorder. Only an estimated 5 to 15 percent of people with anorexia or bulimia and an estimated 35 percent of those with binge-eating disorder are male.
Anorexia Nervosa
An estimated 0.5 to 3.7 percent of females suffer from anorexia nervosa in their lifetime. Symptoms of anorexia nervosa include:
Resistance to maintaining body weight at or above a minimally normal weight for age and height.
Intense fear of gaining weight or becoming fat, even though underweight.
Disturbance in the way in which one's body weight or shape is experienced, undue influence of body weight or shape on self-evaluation, or denial of the seriousness of the current low body weight.
Infrequent or absent menstrual periods (in females who have reached puberty)
People with this disorder see themselves as overweight even though they are dangerously thin. The process of eating becomes an obsession. Unusual eating habits develop, such as avoiding food and meals, picking out a few foods and eating these in small quantities, or carefully weighing and portioning food. People with anorexia may repeatedly check their body weight.
Many engage in other techniques to control their weight, such as intense and compulsive exercise, or purging by means of vomiting and abuse of laxatives, enemas, and diuretics. Girls with anorexia often experience a delayed onset of their first menstrual period.
The course and outcome of anorexia nervosa vary across individuals: some fully recover after a single episode; some have a fluctuating pattern of weight gain and relapse; and others experience a chronically deteriorating course of illness over many years.
The mortality rate among people with anorexia has been estimated at 0.56 percent per year, or approximately 5.6 percent per decade, which is about 12 times higher than the annual death rate due to all causes of death among females ages 15-24 in the general population. The most common causes of death are complications of the disorder, such as cardiac arrest or electrolyte imbalance, and suicide.
Bulimia Nervosa
An estimated 1.1 percent to 4.2 percent of females have bulimia nervosa in their lifetime. Symptoms of bulimia nervosa include:
Recurrent episodes of binge eating, characterized by eating an excessive amount of food within a discrete period of time and by a sense of lack of control over eating during the episode Recurrent inappropriate compensatory behavior in order to prevent weight gain, such as self-induced vomiting or misuse of laxatives, diuretics, enemas, or other medications (purging); fasting; or excessive exercise.
The binge eating and inappropriate compensatory behaviors both occur, on average, at least twice a week for 3 months Self-evaluation is unduly influenced by body shape and weight Because purging or other compensatory behavior follows the binge-eating episodes, people with bulimia usually weigh within the normal range for their age and height.
However, like individuals with anorexia, they may fear gaining weight, desire to lose weight, and feel intensely dissatisfied with their bodies. People with bulimia often perform the behaviors in secrecy, feeling disgusted and ashamed when they binge, yet relieved once they purge.
Binge-Eating Disorder
Community surveys have estimated that between 2 percent and 5 percent of Americans experience binge-eating disorder in a 6-month period. Symptoms of binge-eating disorder include:
Recurrent episodes of binge eating, characterized by eating an excessive amount of food within a discrete period of time and by a sense of lack of control over eating during the episode. The binge-eating episodes are associated with at least 3 of the following: eating much more rapidly than normal; eating until feeling uncomfortably full.
Eating large amounts of food when not feeling physically hungry; eating alone because of being embarrassed by how much one is eating; feeling disgusted with oneself, depressed, or very guilty after overeating Marked distress about the binge-eating behavior.
The binge eating occurs, on average, at least 2 days a week for 6 months
The binge eating is not associated with the regular use of inappropriate compensatory behaviors (e.g., purging, fasting, excessive exercise)
People with binge-eating disorder experience frequent episodes of out-of-control eating, with the same binge-eating symptoms as those with bulimia. The main difference is that individuals with binge-eating disorder do not purge their bodies of excess calories. Therefore, many with the disorder are overweight for their age and height. Feelings of self-disgust and shame associated with this illness can lead to bingeing again, creating a cycle of binge eating.
Treatment Strategies
Eating disorders can be treated and a healthy weight restored. The sooner these disorders are diagnosed and treated, the better the outcomes are likely to be. Because of their complexity, eating disorders require a comprehensive treatment plan involving medical care and monitoring, psychosocial interventions, nutritional counseling and, when appropriate, medication management. At the time of diagnosis, the clinician must determine whether the person is in immediate danger and requires hospitalization.
Treatment of anorexia calls for a specific program that involves three main phases: (1) restoring weight lost to severe dieting and purging;
(2) treating psychological disturbances such as distortion of body image, low self-esteem, and interpersonal conflicts; and
(3) achieving long-term remission and rehabilitation, or full recovery. Early diagnosis and treatment increases the treatment success rate. Use of psychotropic medication in people with anorexia should be considered only after weight gain has been established.
Certain selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) have been shown to be helpful for weight maintenance and for resolving mood and anxiety symptoms associated with anorexia.
The acute management of severe weight loss is usually provided in an inpatient hospital setting, where feeding plans address the person's medical and nutritional needs. In some cases, intravenous feeding is recommended.
Once malnutrition has been corrected and weight gain has begun, psychotherapy (often cognitive-behavioral or interpersonal psychotherapy) can help people with anorexia overcome low self-esteem and address distorted thought and behavior patterns. Families are sometimes included in the therapeutic process.
The primary goal of treatment for bulimia is to reduce or eliminate binge eating and purging behavior. To this end, nutritional rehabilitation, psychosocial intervention, and medication management strategies are often employed.
Establishment of a pattern of regular, non-binge meals, improvement of attitudes related to the eating disorder, encouragement of healthy but not excessive exercise, and resolution of co-occurring conditions such as mood or anxiety disorders are among the specific aims of these strategies.
Individual psychotherapy (especially cognitive-behavioral or interpersonal psychotherapy), group psychotherapy that uses a cognitive-behavioral approach, and family or marital therapy have been reported to be effective,as I participated in most things that children did.
Psychotropic medications,Are you learning about the importance of life organizers, primarily antidepressants such as the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs),in the hallway, have been found helpful for people with bulimia, particularly those with significant symptoms of depression or anxiety, or those who have not responded adequately to psychosocial treatment alone.
These medications also may help prevent relapse. The treatment goals and strategies for binge-eating disorder are similar to those for bulimia, and studies are currently evaluating the effectiveness of various interventions.
People with eating disorders often do not recognize or admit that they are ill. As a result, they may strongly resist getting and staying in treatment. Family members or other trusted individuals can be helpful in ensuring that the person with an eating disorder receives needed care and rehabilitation. For some people, treatment may be long term.
Eating is controlled by many factors, including appetite, food availability, family, peer, and cultural practices. Attempts at voluntary control. Dieting to a body weight leaner than needed for health is highly promoted by current fashion trends, sales campaigns for special foods, and in some activities and professions.
Eating disorders involve serious disturbances in eating behavior, such as extreme and unhealthy reduction of food intake or severe overeating, as well as feelings of distress or extreme concern about body shape or weight. Researchers are investigating how and why initially voluntary behaviors, such as eating smaller or larger amounts of food than usual, at some point move beyond control in some people and develop into an eating disorder.
Studies on the basic biology of appetite control and its alteration by prolonged overeating or starvation have uncovered enormous complexity, but in the long run have the potential to lead to new pharmacologic treatments for eating disorders.
Eating disorders are not due to a failure of will or behavior,1873 Ugg Bailey Button Triplet Navy Boots; rather, they are real, treatable medical illnesses in which certain maladaptive patterns of eating take on a life of their own. The main types of eating disorders are anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa.
A third type, binge-eating disorder, has been suggested but has not yet been approved as a formal psychiatric diagnosis. Eating disorders frequently develop during adolescence or early adulthood, but some reports indicate their onset can occur during childhood or later in adulthood.
Eating disorders frequently co-occur with other psychiatric disorders such as depression, substance abuse, and anxiety disorders.

and the overall listening cognition is that of a beat
Subliminal Messaging CDs
In the past few years, subliminal messaging has entrenched itself as an effective technique to address issues pertaining to one's mental makeup. Whether it is our anxiety about our performance in bed, our wilting away at the slightest criticism, our indecisiveness in those life-defining moments, our consistent failures in business, the butterflies that flutter in our stomach when appearing in an interview ... it is now known that the root of our problems lie in the way our subconscious is programmed. It is through subliminal messaging that we can rewire our subconscious, in order to feel in total control during sex, be immune to criticism, be decisive in those life-defining moments, taste success after success in business, hold our own during that interview ... (Readers interested in my articles on the virtues of subliminal messaging may browse through my blog, .
As the concept of subliminal messaging gains both depth and acceptability with people, the demand for deploying the technique in different avatars has grown. For instance, there are softwares that flash positive subliminal messages on the screen while you work on the computer. Then there are subliminal-message-CDs that you can relax with,to achieve your maximum potential. You, while sitting on the patio or waiting for your turn at the doctor's clinic. These CDs have subliminal messages embedded in soft, soothing music. The messages are grouped under specific categories: so you can buy a CD that focuses on self-confidence thoughts, there's another on summoning enough courage to face the exams, yet another on quitting smoking, and so on,1873 Ugg Bailey Button Triplet Navy Boots. The earlier versions of these CDs were a stream of nice music, laced with messages spoken by a human voice in low volume, and that was that. But in recent years, researchers have come up with different techniques with which to deliver the same message but more effectively.
Some of the widely respected CDs have the following four components incorporated in their soundtrack.
Binaural Beats
As every high-school student of physics knows, a "beat" is a sound that emerges when two different sounds that have slightly different pitch are produced simultaneously. This beat is produced by the interference of these sound waves vibrating in the air. Human ears are geared to pick up this nuance in the sound waves quite naturally. There is a special; auditory nerve (known in science as the vestibulocochlear nerve - quite a mouthful, isn't it?) that carries encoded sound from each cochlea right through the thalamus to the auditory cortex of the brain. Now there are specific cells in the cortex that vibrate at exactly the frequency that the corresponding ear is hearing. Another part of the cortex integrates the two frequencies. The result? The same interference that happens in the air happens in the brain, too, and the overall listening cognition is that of a beat!
Now how is this binaural beat thingy relevant to subliminal messaging, you might ask. The low frequency of the beat in the auditory cortex stimulates, through an as-yet-unknown process, the basal forebrain to generate theta waveforms. And this is exactly the state the brain acquires when a person meditates. The brain, in this state, is now ready to process incoming signals that the beats are carrying - which are the recording of subliminal messages in a human voice.
Fascinating, isn't it?
The Subliminal Messages, themselves
As mentioned earlier, CDs are available on specific, focused categories. When you buy a CD, it usually has an accompanying MP3 file containing messages spoken in audible human voice, too; so you know exactly what is entering your subconscious when you are playing the CD.
In the main soundtrack, the actual human voice that talks to you does so at so low decibel levels, that try as you might, you are not able to hear them. Yet, the same voice rides on the music waves dancing at two different pitches, and pings on your subconscious precisely when the beats get created on your auditory cortex.
In a sixty-minute recording, the first third of the soundtrack is usually pure subliminal messages, beamed at you sequentially and cyclically,You can learn to use hypnosis with the help of hypnosis downloads quickly.
Reverse Messages
Remember the Beatles' song - "Rain" - that was released in 1966? One of the reasons it hogged the limelight was its last verse, which was sung in reverse; that is, the words made sense when the recording was played backwards. That was the first time interest in backward messaging, or "backmasking" as it came to be known as, developed.
Credit goes to Australian researcher David John Oates for the pioneering work on "Reverse Speech" and to bring this concept to world attention. He observed that when any recorded human speech is played backwards, embedded in the nonsensical audio can be detected very clear and intelligible statements. David suggests that human communication takes place at two levels: the first is the surface-level, audible communication that we trap through our conscious ears; and the second is a deeper communication that is not audible to our conscious ears, but which our subconscious is very much attuned to. When a person is speaking outwardly, the tumult of thoughts and emotions which is taking place in their subconscious is revealed in the second level of their communication, but which can only become known when the voice is recorded and played in reverse. The point relevant to us here is that the subconscious does not require any reverse playing: it is well able to catch the underlying message on its own.
Some subliminal-message-CDs in the market have brilliantly captured this concept in their product. About one third of the CD is recorded with the same set of subliminal messages, but in the reverse direction.
Stereo Confusion
As all music aficionados know, stereo playback gives an illusion of the music band playing right in front of you - one instrument strumming on your left, another soft-thumping on your right... the works. On your headphone, music streams to your two ears riding on different "channels" that are encoded separately.
In Subliminal Messaging CDs, the sound-recordist uses these channels to stream two different messages to you _simultaneously_. This means that at the conscious level, you get to hear noise ("confusion"). But unbeknown to you, your subconscious is still able to sift through the two different messages (remember the different cells in your auditory cortex tap-dancing to the different frequencies,run a search on Amazon.com?), and make sense of what is being said. Very importantly, since the conscious mind ignores these seemingly gibberish voices, it does not filter them at all, and the messages get a chance to reach the subconscious directly. And that is what we want, don't we? :)
Most respectable CDs worth their salt have the final one-third of their soundtrack filled with this stereo confusion.
Final Word
I have experimented with subliminal messaging ever since they emerged on the world market as a packaged product for self-development. In a very short period of time, this New Age concept has emerged from the recording room of audiophiles and bright psychoacoustics researchers to bloom into a million dollar industry in its own right. Experts in subliminal messaging keep their ear to the ground to tap into any new invention in sound engineering, or any new discovery about human psyche, and build the same into their product. In case you have not given your battered and bruised subconscious a chance to rejuvenate itself already, now is the time to do so. Go for the best subliminal messaging CD in the market, and watch your own transformation. (If you ask me, this is the site where I have found very good quality CDs, .)

3. Find A Career That Truly Fits "The Real You"
4 Simple Ways To Get Over Your Need For Acceptance...And Get On With Your Life
Imagine what your life would be like if you could just be yourself, without thinking twice about what other people think of you! Here are four quick tips that will help you get over your need for acceptance,post office. Make these four things a part of your daily routine and you'll find that people will judge you less and accept you more!
1. See Yourself as a Success
You're probably familiar with that little voice inside your head that tells you you're never good enough. Instead of letting that voice continuously judge what you didn't do right; focus on an actual moment in your life that makes you feel wonderful. This could be a moment at your wedding, the birth of your first child or a great victory you achieved. Picture it as if you were living it all over again. Right before you think of this moment, say these words: "You know what this (say the bad feeling you are having right then) reminds me of? It reminds me of the time." Then remember or in essence "live out" your great moment. End the moment with the words "That's what this reminds me of." This is exactly what Olympic athletes have done for years to increase their physical performance. They see it first in their imagination and then they reach their goals,Once she recognised her limiting beliefs and where they came from. If you do the same, those days of being held back by your need for acceptance will be over,1873 Ugg Bailey Button Triplet Navy Boots,the most recent winner!
2. Restore Your Self Confidence
The second key to getting over your need for acceptance is self-confidence. Confidence is the result of how you see yourself in your imagination. The way your nervous system makes you feel is the direct result of what's going on in your imagination. That's why when someone describes a great meal; you begin to salivate even though there is no actual food in reality. To your nervous system, this food' is more real than actual food itself. Since that's the case, just think what would happen if you imagined yourself being successful and confident? When you see confidence in your imagination, your nervous system "believes" you are confident which changes the vibes you give off. People will treat you better because they can feel your success and want to be around it. Tell yourself that you're a success on a daily basis and you'll not only start seeing yourself in a different light but you'll get over your need for acceptance...for good.
3. Find A Career That Truly Fits "The Real You"
This step may seem like it has no connection to the previous steps, but it goes hand in hand with getting over your need for acceptance. Since confidence is necessary to get over your need for acceptance, an easy way to build your confidence is to do what you truly were meant to do in life.
What are you passionate about? What have others told you you're good at? To learn exactly how find a career that fits you, there is no better book than What Color Is Your Parachute? By Nelson Bolles.
Just go to: to find it. Match your talents to your career and see your confidence begin to increase every day!
4. What Makes YOU Happy?
Most people are not sure what happiness really is. Many say that money would make them happy. But it's not money at all. People don't want money! They want what money can BUY. They remember that buying new things makes them feel happy, but this is only one form of happiness. True happiness comes when you can make a difference in the life of another person and realize how much it meant to them. Lending someone a helping hand not only brightens their day, but you'll be able to reap the effects of, if only for a brief moment, true happiness.
Now that you know how to get over your need for acceptance by focusing on a positive memory instead of the negative voice inside your head, you'll be able to give off the vibes that ATTRACT people to YOU. Instead of wishing and hoping for approval, you now know how to get over your need for acceptance by giving people what they need; a confident person who not only looks for the good in them, but also shows them how to see it too.
Imagine what your life would be like if you could just be yourself, without thinking twice about what other people think of you! Here are four quick tips that will help you get over your need for acceptance,post office. Make these four things a part of your daily routine and you'll find that people will judge you less and accept you more!

Right before you think of this moment, say these words: "You know what this (say the bad feeling you are having right then) reminds me of? It reminds me of the time." Then remember or in essence "live out" your great moment. End the moment with the words "That's what this reminds me of." This is exactly what Olympic athletes have done for years to increase their physical performance. They see it first in their imagination and then they reach their goals,Once she recognised her limiting beliefs and where they came from. If you do the same, those days of being held back by your need for acceptance will be over,1873 Ugg Bailey Button Triplet Navy Boots,the most recent winner!
2. Restore Your Self Confidence
The second key to getting over your need for acceptance is self-confidence. Confidence is the result of how you see yourself in your imagination. The way your nervous system makes you feel is the direct result of what's going on in your imagination. That's why when someone describes a great meal; you begin to salivate even though there is no actual food in reality. To your nervous system, this food' is more real than actual food itself. Since that's the case, just think what would happen if you imagined yourself being successful and confident? When you see confidence in your imagination, your nervous system "believes" you are confident which changes the vibes you give off. People will treat you better because they can feel your success and want to be around it. Tell yourself that you're a success on a daily basis and you'll not only start seeing yourself in a different light but you'll get over your need for acceptance...for good.
3. Find A Career That Truly Fits "The Real You"
This step may seem like it has no connection to the previous steps, but it goes hand in hand with getting over your need for acceptance. Since confidence is necessary to get over your need for acceptance, an easy way to build your confidence is to do what you truly were meant to do in life.
What are you passionate about? What have others told you you're good at? To learn exactly how find a career that fits you, there is no better book than What Color Is Your Parachute? By Nelson Bolles.
Just go to: to find it. Match your talents to your career and see your confidence begin to increase every day!
4. What Makes YOU Happy?
Most people are not sure what happiness really is. Many say that money would make them happy. But it's not money at all. People don't want money! They want what money can BUY. They remember that buying new things makes them feel happy, but this is only one form of happiness. True happiness comes when you can make a difference in the life of another person and realize how much it meant to them. Lending someone a helping hand not only brightens their day, but you'll be able to reap the effects of, if only for a brief moment, true happiness.
Now that you know how to get over your need for acceptance by focusing on a positive memory instead of the negative voice inside your head, you'll be able to give off the vibes that ATTRACT people to YOU. Instead of wishing and hoping for approval, you now know how to get over your need for acceptance by giving people what they need; a confident person who not only looks for the good in them, but also shows them how to see it too.

Healing Envy by Margaret Paul
Healing Envy by Margaret Paul, Ph.D.
"I have a question about envy. I'm not talking about jealousy but specifically envy and how to be happy for someone else's good fortune. I feel like I have broke new ground on this issue as I have genuinely been able to feel happy for someone else recently who achieved something I hadn't but only after going through some Inner Bonding because my first reaction was shock and envy and it upset my balance for a while,talk to your personal physician. See a nurse in a clinic. I felt like there was some competition going on in my mind,church leaders,1873 Ugg Bailey Button Triplet Navy Boots. I don't feel envy with friends in general but with my lovers I do."
"It doesn't happen all the time but when it does it has to do with a sense of competition and the fear of not being good enough or a perceived lack of achievement in an area that I'm supposed to be good at. I suppose achieving certain things boosts my ego and also makes me look more attractive in order to get love when I'm with a partner. So, if I don't get what I want I judge myself for not being better and I don't feel safe. And of course it's a vicious cycle and it makes me feel bad so when I realize that, I do an Inner Bonding process and discover that it doesn't really matter if a partner is better or not at something and it doesn't take away anything from me because I know who I really am. So I am able to feel happy for them and I feel more relaxed. The only thing is that this doesn't come natural to me sometimes."
When you feel envy, it is always because you are off track in your thinking about yourself. As this woman writes, she feels envy when her ego wounded self is telling her that she is somehow not good enough, or not as good as someone else.
This is a lie that is deeply programmed into most of us. Most of us were often compared to others - others who looked better than we did, or who were better at something than we were, or who got better grades than we did, or who had more friends than we did. Do any of us grow up unscathed regarding competition and comparisons?
It is fortunate that the questioner has a powerful process for moving beyond the competition and resulting envy, but she would like to discover a way to never go to envy to begin with.
The only way I know to do this is to be so deeply connected with your own soul essence that you know, without a doubt, how wonderful you are. And the only way I know of deeply knowing your soul essence is to be able to see your true Self through the lens of your personal spiritual Guidance.
Your Guidance is the higher part of you who knows the truth of who you really are. You ego wounded mind only knows what you have been told - what has been programmed into you by parents,anyway., teachers, siblings, peers, and the media. Your higher mind knows the unique essence that you are, the unique child of God that you are - your special piece of the puzzle that is your special place within the universe. Your higher Guidance knows that what you can offer to the world is unique to you and never needs to be compared to whatever anyone else does.
When you take the time to learn to access your spiritual Guidance and discover who you really are, you will find that you can feel truly joyous for others' accomplishments.
