Thinking You're Too Much

Thinking you're too much can post a problem in any kind of relationship because you begin to believe you are more than you actually are.  When you begin thinking you're too much; this can and will tip the scale on some if not all of your relationships.

What is "thinking you're too much?"  Well for one let's say you do something big on your job that a lot of people gave you credit for and everyone is happy you did this.  Coming in the next day as nothing significant happened would be humble and normal.  This may even help you receive more praise.  However, coming in and wanting flowers thrown at your feet underneath a red carpet is not normal.  In relationships; we as humans tend to believe we are too big to have to do certain things or deal with certain situations once we have reached a made up plateau.

We start to believe we don't have to do chores in the house, we don't have to do the extra on the job, we don't have to call people back immediately.  This is called getting relaxed, when in life, you should never actually be relaxed.  When you begin to turn into this direction, you will not notice it of course, but your associates and friends will notice a strain on the relationship.

Thinking you're too much is, to me, a disease that you don't know you have and the end is very deadly.  Take inventory of your life from time to time and make sure you haven't got to the point where you are too much.  I hope this edifies your relationships.

We need Food & Money

Hey all,

With the economy in the shape it is; the common quote is "we need food."  We all still need to eat no matter how thin the financial bubble gets.  The markets have been like this before.  Many are acting like this is new.  We had this in 2007, 2000, and a few years prior to that in the 90s.  

The market will recover as it normally does.  However, fear has set in.  I was going to sell my shares in my mutual funds (in which I've lost over $7,000*), but I said nope let me see where this goes.  So I am holding on.  Why is it that guys and gals like me are not up in arms scared for our financial lives?

Well one thing is for sure is that I trust in God; and His Messiah which is Jesus.  But the second thing is this on the plain field, my thousands of dollars in mutual fund accounts are just one door in a multi-door building of my financial house.  In other words; I have multiple streams of income coming in that are not all affected by the global crisis at hand here.

So what am I saying, reach out, stay optimistic, don't panic, don't worry, don't give into fear, trust God, trust yourself to make good decisions and wait for the storm to be over so you can go outside when the sun comes out and play on the swings; as my daughter would say.

If you're thinking this is a good time to add an additional stream of income - you are right.  The simplest thing to do is Internet marketing as a lot of people are running online to find the best bargains.  Learn from the guys I learned from and work with here at wealthy affiliate.  You won't be disappointed.

I hope to see you on the other side - cool and collected.

Deep Meditation: Is it helpful?

Needless to say any time away from everything in quietness and solidarity will be helpful to any one; especially one who has an extremely busy schedule.

Welcome to Helpful Relaxation Techniques

Have you begun working on eliminating some of the stresses from your life? Are you taking action, changing your perception or accepting the circumstances you can't yet change? If so, you should be feeling more in control of your circumstances, and that's a good thing!

Today I'll be sharing some simple strategies to help you manage stress, and even stop it before it gets started. You may have experience with some of these already, but I'll explain why they're so helpful. Meditation. Since a lot of stress stems from your own scattered thoughts and errant emotions, meditation is a great way to quiet your mind and improve your focus. And the benefits last long after you've stopped meditating too!

Just a few minutes of meditation in the morning can help you feel calmer and more focused all day long.

NOTE: The Totally Tranquil program is designed to produce an alpha-level meditation. That's similar to relaxing in front of the television (yet, much more mentally healthy for you). For a deeper level of meditation, try this Deep Zen program - This program takes you into a low-theta brain state - that's just above sleep, where you're still conscious, yet deeply relaxed.

Visualization.

Visualization is like taking a vacation in your mind. In fact, you can do just that when you're feeling stressed! The next time you find yourself in a stressful situation, find a quiet place to be alone for a few minutes, close your eyes, and imagine that you're lying on a tropical beach. Feel the sand beneath your body, the sun warming your skin, the kiss of the breeze moving through your hair. Breathe deeply and welcome the sensation of total relaxation flowing through your body. Just a few minutes of this can trigger your body's relaxation response because your mind cannot tell the difference between something real and imagined!

Exercise.

You've heard it before but the benefits cannot be ignored! Exercise gets those feel-good endorphins flowing, which will continue to benefit you long after you're done exercising. Not only that, but you'll feel stronger physically, more balanced emotionally, and more alert mentally - which can help you cope better with stress. Deep breathing. Most of us are "shallow breathers," using only a portion of our lung capacity. As a result, we feel sluggish, foggy-headed and tired. Get into the habit of breathing deeply and fully several times a day. Doing so floods your body with oxygen; wakes you up AND calms you down. You'll feel alert, energized and balanced,which can help you focus better on whatever you need to get done.

Massage.

This is one of those "luxuries" that should be a necessity for anyone who feels stressed! True, massages aren't exactly cheap,but even if you can only afford a monthly massage, it's well worth the money because just 20-30 minutes of massage can wipe away months of stress.

Recreation/Fun.

Don't underestimate the power of fun and recreation to get rid of(and prevent) stress. If you have kids run around with them sometimes; you'll see the relief and joy you get just by doing so. Be sure to make a regular habit of spending time with friends and doing things you love. Read good books,watch good movies, dance, listen to good music, etc.All of these things are great ways to manage your stress, but even better, if you do them on a regular basis, you'll find that you don't get as stressed as you once did.

Be sure to tune in for the next blog installment, because I'll share another powerful technique for managing stress - right while you're in the heat of the moment!

Until then Clear your mind,
