4 Keys To Thrive

1)      Take control over the mind

“Fear and uncertainty is in the mind.”
 “Feed the mind, read someone’s biography. Read the story of somebody who went from some unbelievable difficult time and how they turned it around.”
 “We are what we eat, we are what we read, we are what we listen to.”
“Reading, listening, feeding your mind is the first step to get out of that place of uncertainty.”

2)      Feed & strength your body

“Feeding the mind is not enough, you got to feed the body.”
 “Go out and lift weights, go out and push yourself and feel yourself have to force trough whatever was your limitations before, when that gets inside you, that physicial strength, that sense of breaking through, every part of you starts to operate different. Your body changes, so does your mind.”

3)      Have a role model

 “One of the biggest things that will change you once you are mentally and physically strong, you got to believe!”
 “You got to have a role model that inspires you and really shows you the way.”
 “You need to believe, you need not just have sense a of certainty but you got to believe that there is a pathway to get where you want to be.”

4)      Plan

 “The fourth key is, you got to get a plan and you got to take massive action!”
“Get a plan, do something, you got to remember the power of massive action”
“So often in life people don’t begin the journey because they are not quit sure what to do, or how to do  it right, don’t know how to get it right, just remember that progress equals happiness”
“If it doesn’t work, change your approach”
“Change it, try it, move it!”

Positive Habits That Will Lead You to Success

Adopting certain habits is undoubtedly critical for success. An optimistic and highly motivated person is very likely to achieve his or her goals whereas a pessimistic and indifferent person will most likely fail.
There are some qualities that seem to be quite common among successful people for example punctuality, cheerfulness, optimism, willingness to work hard, etc. Although we may not possess these qualities, with a little practice, we can acquire them and keep them with us for good! Here are a few tips that will allow you to incorporate some of these qualities into your character and embrace success in life.

Be honest to yourself first
Speak with yourself and question yourself honestly. Do you really want to achieve a particular goal? If yes, then are you truly willing to put in the required effort and time into achieving your goals? If the answer is yes then set yourself the necessary deadlines and work ardently each day into attaining your objectives and meeting your deadlines.

Set deadlines
Setting deadlines for all your work is essential since it will motivate you to utilize your precious time effectively rather than wasting it. Just remember, set the deadline for any work, then work keeping the deadline in your mind, and success will be yours, guaranteed!

Take action immediately
Don’t squander your time by trying to find the ‘ideal time’ to begin your work. Just start NOW! Remember that successful people never procrastinate and neither should you. Stop wasting time and throw procrastination out of the window by starting NOW!

Conquer time killing habits.
Certain habits that are detrimental for success may seem impossible to avoid for example wasting excessive time watching TV. But don’t worry, getting rid of them forever is quite easy, for instance, if you wish to avoid watching excessive TV, try to avoid watching TV for more than half an hour each day for twenty days. Practice will definitely lead to perfection and at the end of twenty days you will certainly feel that avoiding TV is not really all that difficult!

Keep a journal to track your progress
The importance of a diary or journal cannot be overemphasized. Many geniuses like Einstein and Newton kept diaries and embraced success. A diary will allow you to monitor your daily progress and really motivate you to work hard and go the extra mile.

Be brave and bold
Starting something new can be very intimidating for example learning how to swim or ride a bike. Live with the fear and get on with it anyway and soon you will find that your fear was baseless! The only thing to be feared is fear itself!

Always be positive
Even if you feel you have a negative attitude, don’t worry. Psychologists agree that the human brain is highly plastic in nature and with effort you can change your mind for the better! So be positive, practice being positive and soon you will be positive minded! Always remember: a gloomy pessimistic mindset can be changed if you really try hard to be positive every single day.

Stress and Your Health Why You Must Learn How To Manage Stress

If you don’t already know how to manage stress or how to reduce stress triggers in your life, it can have a major impact on your health, whether you realize it or not.
You may not think that your stress level is bad enough to cause health problems, but don’t underestimate it because stress is a “sneaky” thing.

Below are the different ways that stress can affect your overall health.

Reproductive Issues – Stress has the ability to affect the hormone levels in both men and women.
For women, this can cause problems with their menstrual cycles, which affects their chances of getting pregnant. For men, this can cause sexual disorders such as impotency and others.

Digestive Disorders – As you probably already know, stress has been found to cause ulcers, which are ultimately caused by bacteria.
However, stress does still encourage ulcers to develop because when one is under a lot of stress, he or she will generally catch a bacterial infection easier than someone who is not.
There are other digestive disorders that can be caused by stress as well. These include irritable bowel syndrome, diarrhea, constipation, stomach pain and more.
Stress can cause our bodies to go into “fight or flight” mode, which can cause our bodies to temporarily turn our digestive organs “off.” This will naturally lead to digestive disorders if it occurs often.

Upper Respiratory Problems – Many experts believe that stress weakens our immune system by decreasing the immune responses.
When this happens, your immune system will be suppressed which will make you susceptible to a wide variety of health problems such as influenza, colds and infections.

Weight Variations – As previously mentioned, stress affects hormone levels in the body. One of those hormones is cortisol (the stress hormone). This hormone directly affects your metabolism, which will affect your weight.
Some people lose weight while others gain weight when stressed out on a regular basis. Regardless of whether you gain weight or lose weight, neither is good for you.
However, gaining weight is generally worse as it can lead to joint problems, diabetes, heart disease and sometimes, even cancer.

Increased Anxiety - When you are under constant amounts of stress, it can cause a wide variety of anxiety problems. For example, you may begin to exhibit obsessive compulsive tendencies, worry excessively, have panic attacks and many other anxiety issues.

Heart Disease – As previously mentioned, stress can cause your body to go into the “fight or flight” mode, which directly impacts the heart as it causes it to become more stressed. When this happens often, it can lead to heart disease.

It is an undeniable fact that stress has an impact on people and their lives. The problem is that many people don’t realize how stress can affect them.
To protect your health and mental well-being you need to learn how to manage stress better, and to start implementing the changes in your lifestyle that can naturally reduce stress and its triggers in your life.
You can find many natural stress management techniques if you search online, and if you invest in a quality self help how to book you are sure to make some great improvements toward reducing your every day stress and being much more happy.

Spending time together with your spouse: Make your relationship stronger

Spending time together with your spouse

 Have you ever given a though how your days are spent?
I bet they go pretty much like this: Your daily work eats the majority of your time (whether you are working at home or you have a day job) and you also have your own personal hobbies that you want to pursue.
In addition you spend time with your family as much as you can and occasionally you want to spend time with your friends too. You might even have a pet which needs dedication as well.

When you look at the previous daily activities, do you think there is something important missing? You got it right, spending time together with your spouse.

Why spending time together is important?

There are many reasons why one-on-one time is important.

1. You keep your relationship alive
2. You can listen what’s been on your spouse’s mind lately (and take corrective action if it’s worries)
3. You both feel happy when you can spend time with the person you love
4. It gives energy to cope with occasional stressful moments in family life

As you can see, there are many reasons why you want to invest in some one-on-one time.

How to find free time for both of you?

A very common obstacle when spending one-on-one time is – you guessed it – how to find available time? Even if you could arrange your work matters in a way that they are not preventing your mutual time, there is one big thing to solve: How to deal with your kids?
After having a baby, me and my wife have been focusing on the well-being of our son. Although our son is our top priority, we have managed to spend time together with these ways:

1. Plan in advance

First thing is to plan your time together. Try to find optimum time that suits you both. Based on the plan, you can then make additional arrangements, so that your common time  becomes a reality.

2. Ask the parents

If you or your spouse’s parents live nearby and they offer their babysitting help, accept it! We have “utilized” our own parents quite a bit and what’s even best – they are happy to assist us in your babysitting needs.

3. Ask your trusted friends or god parents

Maybe your parents don’t live nearby but your friends or god parents do? Ask them to take care of your baby when you are gone.

4. Hire a nanny

If either your or your spouse’s parents live nearby or it is not possible to ask your friends/god parents to help you out, you can always hire a nanny.
If you know someone reliable, ask him/her to take care of your child/children when you are spending time together.

5. Take advantage of nap times

Little children take naps during the afternoon and sometimes those naps can last for hours. For example, our newborn takes naps which last usually from two to three hours.
Although you can’t leave your home while your baby is sleeping, you can still take advantage of that time block by doing something together.

10 WORK STRESS BUSTERS

Follow these tips to relieve pressure at the office :


1.Harness ‘good stress’ to deal with ‘bad stress’. Focus on the positive aspects of your day, even if they’re only small, to lift your mood and help you focus on other problems.

Dr Robert Rosen, author

2.Scribble out anxiety by writing your thoughts down. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, simply jotting down all the tasks you need to do and dissecting them is enough to help you overcome tension.

University of Chicago

3.Phone home: talking to a loved one boosts the feel-good hormone oxytocin, leaving a smile on the face of the angriest desk jockey.

University of Virginia

4.Listen to music at your desk. Melodies provide a distraction, reducing muscle tension and cutting your levels of the stress hormone cortisol. Research has shown that listening to Mozart can help to improve your communication skills, creativity and task performance.

Mayo Clinic

5.If your To Do list becomes too long, swap your espresso for a glass of milk. It will boost your levels of feel-good hormone serotonin to beat the office blues.

Maastricht University

6.Stay at your desk late to beat heart problems. People who take work home with them are 20 times more likely to suffer.

Johns Hopkins University

7.De-clutter your desk to de-clutter your mind. Working in a clear environment helps free up your mind from unnecessary distractions, promoting productivity.

Wendy Hearn, business coach

8.Count to 10 in a foreign language. It distracts your mind quickly and efficiently enough to deal with sudden increases in your stress levels.

Will James, psychologist

9.If you feel like you’re about to boil over take a 15-minute break where you leave your work station and do some simple stretches. This has been proven to make you calmer and more productive.

American Journal of Industrial Medicine

10.Play a game. ‘Casual' video gaming can reduce stress and have other mood-lifting effects. This does depend on the game though, a leisurely round of Let’s Golf! will potentially see a more positive response than a hardcore session of Call of Duty: Black Ops.

University of East Carolina
