Prologue
If today was your last day, how would you want history to remember you? Do you know who you are? Do you know what you love? How well do you know yourself? Why do you believe what you believe? Who influences your mind and belief? What do you value and where do your values come from? Who inspires you to make a difference? Are you living your best life? Do you know what your best life looks like?
What is your definition of life success and who sets your standard? What is happiness and what does that mean to you? We live in a fast paced society, with our world changing by the day. Where do you fit into that equation? How do you keep up with the changing times? Is today the best of times for you, or the worst of times?
My life collapsed all around me in 2006. How could that have happened? How could all of my worst night mares have come true? Was God out to get me? How could these experiences have entered into my reality? My physical, mental, emotional and spiritual faculties were challenged in a way that I had never been challenged before. My entire body system was crying out for me to listen, but I ignored the signs. Life because something that I had to survive.
I cried an awful lot, and for a very long time. What was the point of the buckets of tears that I had cried and the stabbing pain that I had felt in my heart so often? Who created that for me? I had to intellectualize and understand my emotional pain? Thus began my quest for truth.
That journey was not an easy one. I was a single woman living in a very foreign land. Everything that I knew and what I believed to be true had been challenged. The very foundations of my life were shaken to the core. I did not know why I believed, what I believed. I just accepted things as they were, but then I began to question, why?
I didn’t know myself very well. Now, as a result, that is not the case. I know what I am truly capable of. I have developed a solid relationship and understanding of myself. It is a great relationship. Although, some days, I

Shelley D. Chuchmuch Mind Science
am not entirely at one with myself, but I can happily say, I will never experience that kind of trauma again. I understand the point of negative experience, what my emotions are designed for and how all of my worst night mares came true.
My search for Veritas, or truth has taken me from the physical to the non- physical, metaphysical, philosophical, theological, spiritual, and psychological dimensions. It took me from Canada, The United States, India, Africa, Asia, and Middle East to Europe. It has taken me from grief and despair to absolute joy and right back home where I started.
Through policy analysis of the elements, indicators and influences of culture impacting thought, I learned that regardless of where you go on the planet, everyone wants the same thing, to be happy.
I have not yet achieved all of my goals. However, I did find my life’s purpose. I developed ABC-IQ Global Management Systems, a new system of education and this new subject are of study Mind Science, of which this work is a part of. I hope that this work will help you will find your purpose too.
My story is far from over. In fact, it has only just begun. I went from grief to joy. I experienced both heaven and hell right here on earth and I experienced everything in between. Words did not teach me, life experience did. I never understood, until I applied what I learned to my own life.
I wanted to share what I knew in a user friendly manner to help others live their best lives. To perhaps help you understand why you are here and to help you find your life’s purpose. I was lost, but I can assure you, now that is very much not the case. I put myself back together piece by piece, creating a great tapestry making up the culture that is me.
The results of my dissertation are written on the pages of this book. I wish you a lifetime of peace, health, wealth, success and happiness on your journey. Your destiny is in your hands! Dance with life to find your joy.

How to utilize this material?
This self - directed learning program is designed to take you on a journey of reflection of thought in support of purposeful life experience creation. It is designed for you to read 1 page per day, reflecting for 20 minutes, reading systematically, completing the processes, journal writing to the prompt, affirmation, meditation or life success tip until you have reached day 365. You will notice repetition. The reasoning behind this is to support you with solidifying information and understanding through repeated exposure. Print out for your referent, the emotional tuning scale on page 8. Refer to this scale on a daily basis to determine your point of energy emission.
Task
Daily reflect on each page for 20 minutes considering what is being proposed. Write down your observations and understanding observing your own life experience. Writing things down to helps you remember how you felt. Try to focus on framing your thoughts in a positive manner. Utilize your G.P.S (God’s Perfect Sensor) asking yourself, how did that thought feel?
Implement the reflection as it relates to you and your current reality. If all else fails, write about something positive that happened within your day!
Intuition: “the ability to understand something immediately without the need for conscious reasoning. We shall allow our intuition to guide us. A thing that one knows or considers likely from instinctive feeling rather than conscious reasoning. A hunch, a feeling, sneaking suspicion.” Online dictionary

Creative Visualization – How to create life experience?
Think back to when you are a child and you played pretend or make believe, do you remember how convinced you were by your imagination? This is what you must do to create the life that you want…imagine already having it…find the feeling place of it already being yours…..feel the feeling in your chest…feel the joy of the experience that you have created in your mind…Focus the power of your thought and emotion on the end result. Feel as if your request has been granted. Take inspired action toward your goal when your body energy is tuned to the highest point on the frequency scale.
3 Steps of Creation
1. Ask – You don’t need to ask the universe using verbal language, the universe reads your energy frequency of your emotion corresponding with your thought. 2. The universe answers “YES”. 3. Align your energy with what you are asking for, take action and receive.
Note the emotional frequency scale on the following page. This is your point reference to how you are feeling determining your current point reference for frequency emission, attraction and emotion.

Day 1
Everything in our universe is energy and is operating at a frequency. The law of attraction states, that which is like unto itself is drawn. You create your life through the thoughts that you think. The emotions that you feel let you know if you are on course. Even if you do not understand that you are doing it. Everything around us is created through God force source energy. Get happy…and think on purpose….Seek the solution.
You have the power within you to create both positive and negative life experience. Most of your time on the planet will be spent collecting life experience. This life experience will help you to determine your wants desires and needs. You will remember your life experience based on the way that you felt in the situation based on the intensity of your emotion.
Everyone on the planet operates with the same universal law. This energy is constant in nature and continues to flow. This is how our universe continues to expand and grow. Humans are energy beings all operating at an energy frequency. Joy, love, gratitude and appreciation are the highest form of energy frequency that human beings can convey. Like attracts like! “Your thoughts have the power to become things”!
Great leaders of the past such as Einstein, Beethoven and Ralph Waldo Emerson, practiced these teachings. Every thought and emotion has a frequency. The law of attraction is continuously working in every person’s life. The law of attraction is inclusion based. It does not discriminate between good and bad. Something will manifest from prolonged thought. You are a magnet attracting events, lifestyle, people and circumstances based on the thought and energy frequency that you are emitting. Quantum physics argues that we can’t have a universe without the mind entering into it. An affirmative thought is more powerful than a negative thought.
THINK…. Solution / FEEL…… Happy / Gratitude

VERITAS: The Universal Law of Attraction The most powerful law of the universe
Law of Attraction That which is like unto itself is drawn both wanted and unwanted. Our universe is an energy field and through your internal vibration through focused thought and emotion, you create your life experience by tuning your body to positive and negative emotion and thought. The universe is inclusion based. Your body is a magnet and you attract your experience based on your focused attention of thought.
This is the most important law and in fact, it super cedes all other laws as it is at the basis of all creation of all that is and all that ever will be. Be careful of your moods and feelings, for there is an unbroken connection between your feelings and your visible world.” Neville Goddard “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.” Nikola Tesla
What is Religion? What is Spirituality? What is Science? How are the belief systems the same? What unites all of mankind? How are we all the same as human beings?

Day 2
There is a current of energy that runs through everything. It is infinite in power and it is present throughout the universe.
I create my life on purpose. Being grateful and appreciative of the life that you have brings more positive things into your life. Being ungrateful brings more negative things….Choose your thoughts wisely…..The law of attraction does not take sides. If a person thinks about nothing but the worst in life – these negative things will come to that person, because that is precisely what he or she is attracting. In today’s societal culture your current ways of perceiving have evolved over generations of thought that has come before you. You are a part of that life creation. The universe expands from your own point of view. This thought adds more to what has already been created. You cannot disassociate from this process, for this is how life experience is created and how our societies continue to evolve. All life experience begins with thought. The life experience that you are living is based on your positive and negative perception.
Everything that is happening in your life, you have attracted to you through thought and emotion. There are many people who wonder whether a person who believes in the Law of Attraction can achieve everything their heart desires. The dilemma arises because of the belief that things do not come easy in life. Hence, logically many open minded people find it difficult to believe in the Law of Attraction even if they want to believe that they can have everything they want just by thinking and feeling their ambitions, hopes and dreams.

Day 3
Whatever feelings that you have inside of you and that you keep thinking about…you are attracting into your life experience. You can feel inside of you whether you are allowing your connection to your source energy or disallowing your source energy. Everything around you is created by energy. Your body senses or sensors let you know through sight, touch, smell, taste, and sound what is happening in your life experience. The most powerful and sophisticated interpreter of energy is your emotions. Your emotions are a wiser you. They are energy in motion.
The Law of Attraction is in all of the smallest components of the universe and earth. It also governs all forms of life on earth from the sun, plants, and animals to humans. The Law of Attraction is energy. The Law of Attraction exists for us all and does not exclude from anyone or anything. As humans we are part of that energy field and we are all working together creating life experience through our thoughts and emotion both positive and negative through focused attention.
Many people completely misunderstand the Law of Attraction which results in misuse of the Law. This in order to understand the Law of Attraction it is important to adopt a perspective of subjective reality. Thereby focusing on the Law of Attraction will help every individual create his or her own reality by focusing on positive actions or thoughts processes. The Law of Attraction essentially means allowing positive thoughts to multiply and minimize negative thoughts to achieve what your heart desires. When you are in alignment with what it is that you want, you feel fantastic. When you are feeling anger or despair, this is a sign that you are not in alignment with what it is that you are asking for. The way that you feel is everything!
Tip: Do not allow those things that matter most in your life be at the mercy of activities that matter the least. Every day, take the time to ask yourself, “is this the best use of my time and energy”? Reflect on your day.

Day 4
It is my right to succeed…..Your thoughts produce a vibration within you that equals your point of attraction and then the circumstances, events, people, line up to match the vibrations that you have offered. This energy inside of you is electrical. By paying attention to the signals that your emotions are telling you, you can understand with absolute precision everything that his happening around you or have ever experienced.
Your emotions inside of you, intuition or G.P.S (God’s Perfect Sensor) is communicating with you in every second of every day what is right or wrong for you Good feelings are the universe’s way of telling you….YES…give me more please…negative emotion is your G.P.S guiding you towards something better. Remember, you attract your continued life experience by the thoughts that you think and the paired feeling that you feel. Are you feeling good or are you feeling bad?
The debate about the Law of Attraction can be found all the way back to the 19th century and like all pseudo-spiritual and spiritual movements, the debate about the Law of Attraction did not come from channeled entities. Thomas Troward started the new thought movement in the United States. He claimed that the thought process of a person proceeds all physical form and hence the mind’s action can plant the nucleus which if it is allowed to have an undisturbed growth will eventually attract all the necessary circumstances for outward manifestations.
Between 1900 and 1911 James Allen, another English New Thought writer wrote a series of articles and books which were continued by his wife Lilly Allen. In 1902 James Allen published one of his best known articles “As A Man Thinketh”. This formed the basis of the New Thought Movement in the early 1900’s. William Walker Atkinson in 1906 started using the phrase “like attracts like” in one of his famous books, Thought vibration or the Law of Attraction in the Thought World.

Day 5
You get what you think and feel about. Speak only of what you want….and less of what you don’t want…. Your internal G.P.S, God’s Perfect Sensor works much like a global positioning navigational system that is in your vehicle. The antennae signals to the satellite in the sky, the navigation system tells you the quickest and shortest route to your destination. The emotions inside of you are much the same thing, but in order to know where it is that you are going, you have to know the coordinates of your present position.
When you listen to others and are not being confident in your choices, accepting others opinions regarding your preferred choices, it is not possible for you to stay on your course. You give your personal power away to others by letting them make the decision for you. Listen to what your G.P.S is telling you, it will never steer you in the wrong direction. You will be off course when your thoughts and your G.P.S are not moving in the same direction. Your system will malfunction.
Wallace D. Wattles is one of the early authors of the New Thought Movement and also on the Law of Attraction when he wrote that things can be made from thinking about them. He also wrote that our thought process is actually a substance which can help in the outer manifestation of things, but to do so a person must transcend to the creative mind from the competitive mind.
This principle was supported by quantum physics when Neil Bohr discovered that energy can be in the form of a particle or a wave. Moreover, energy is completely dependent on the expectations of the observer. During this time, Napoleon Hill published two of his famous books, the Laws of Success in 16 Lessons and Think and Grow Rich. These two books went on to be the best selling business books of all time which discussed the importance of controlling a person’s thought process in order to be successful in life.

Thank you for the contrast in my life for contrast means I deserve something better!
Reflect:
Think about a time when you took on another’s perception and it went against your better judgment. What was the result?
How do you solidify thoughts in your memory?
How is knowledge application taught?
How did you remember what you know?
16 | P a g e a b c - i q . c o m
Shelley D. Chuchmuch Mind Science
Day 6
I create my life…..I take 100% responsibility. Every thought that you give your attention to has a frequency and gives birth to creation. When you learn something new you gain a new standpoint and a new point of view. Thought without high emotion does not manifest an outer experience, however, prolonged thought paired with high emotion does. Offer your thoughts only in the direction of what you want to experience.
I cannot change the circumstances of other people but I can change myself. Look for the positive in everything. When the negative comes, that is the universe or GOD speaking through you telling you…I deserve something better. You will feel this emotion in your solar plexus.
There is much value in knowing what you don’t want…because it brings you so much closer to knowing what it is that you do want. Do you believe that you are deserving of something better? You cannot focus on something that you want and feel that you are not deserving of it. The vibrational energy of what you want and what you feel must be a match.
In 1937 Israel Regardei published several books on the concept of the Law of Attraction as having a biblical basis and one such book, “The Art of True Healing” which teaches the reader about using the technique of focused meditation to help healing of the mind at a spiritual and physical level. Regardei suggested that the Law of Attraction can be used to attract good physical health and is also applicable in the pursuit of success in different aspects of life.
True or false. The mind has a direct influence over the healing of the body. Explain

Day 7
The entire universe is made from energy and this stream is only positive in nature. You can either allow the positive stream or disallow and resist it. This energy stream is unlimited and you have access to the positive stream at all times. You cannot stand in resistance and receive what it is that you want. It is contradictory. To the degree of good feelings and blessings, good things will flow to you in your life experience. To the degree of bad feelings and when you do not expect the good things to come into your life, this tells you your degree of resistance.
It is believed that the Law of Attraction works every second in every minute of our everyday life. Most people believe that there is practically no escaping the Law of Attraction moreover since it is a biblical concept. Most Christians believe that the Law of Attraction is similar to the Law of Gravity which can help in considerable transformations in a person’s life though empowerment and self-mastery. While wondering how the Law of Attraction works there are many simple and easy examples which can show evidence about existence of the Law of Attraction. When you go to a café or a bistro you order for your food and you EXPECT the order to arrive exactly as they were requested. Moreover, when you ask exactly how you expect your hair to be styled as you requested. When you ask for a repair to be completed in your car you EXPECT the repair to be completed. This is how easy the Law of Attraction works in our everyday life. You make a request by thinking about the images that you hold in your mind and the universe will deliver your request exactly how you asked for it.
Are you a positive or a negative person in orientation?

Creation Station – Creative Visualization
“The mind cannot tell the difference between an actual, ‘real-life’ event and a vividly imagined one” – Dr. Denis Waitley The problem is that we forget to remember the power of visualization. There is an art and science to accomplishing more everyday — and that art and science can be found in establishing a blueprint first. In the 1980s, Dr. Denis Waitley, used a program called Visual Motor Rehearsal for Olympic athletes. With this program, Olympic athletes were given the instructions to run the race but ONLY in their mind. They had to fully visualize themselves in race. This required INNER-OUTER participation. The athletes were then hooked up to a hi-tech biofeedback machine. The results were astounding. What they found was that the same muscles fired in the same sequence as when they were actually running on the track!
The doctors were amazed. How could this be? How could the same muscles fire in the same sequence as if they were really running the race? “The mind cannot tell the difference between an actual, ‘real-life’ event and a vividly imagined one”. Dr. Dennis Waitley.
Needless to say, the value of VISUALIZATION and its results told the real story about the value of experiencing your desired result in the image of your mind first. The imagery that you create about the outcome about your desire must mimic real-life as much as possible.
Visualize the life that you want. Close your eyes and see that your goal as already complete. If for example, your goal is to own a house by the lake or ocean, close your eyes and imagine walking through that house you would like to own. Put yourself into the feeling place of being inside of it. How is it landscaped? What kind of view does it have? Make the images as clear as possible. This goes for any goal that you make. Re-create the image and the goal each morning. Do not feel focus with the feeling of the absence of it. Feel as if you already have it. Use all of your senses to add details.
Ideas and activities to support you with your goal become clear when you are in the right feeling place for attraction.
Utilize this process for anything that you would like to acquire.
Utilize this process paired with the Vision Board Process on the following page.
When you visualize…..you materialize!!

Vision Boards
To help you create the story of your life, utilize a story or vision board.
Seek out pictures, words, and phrases, anything that helps you to feel inspired. Place them on the board and look at them each and every day.
Visualize the life that you want….feel as if you already have it….focus on the experience…..Ideas will come to you for how you can act to create this life experience….
Get into the feeling place of already having it. You must tune the frequency of energy in your body to correspond with positive thought to become in alignment with what it is that you are truly wanting. Joy = Joy Sorrow = Sorrow

Day 8
Nothing has to change in your physical environment or in circumstances for you to begin to think on purpose to allow your connection to your own positive God force energy. Accept this as your starting place and know where you desire to be. Continue to move in the direction of your destination.
Most people are unaware of this energy; however everyone is affected by it through attraction. When you understand this, you will more clearly understand your own life experiences and the experiences of those around you. When you come to the understanding and have successful experiences with applying these principles, you will never again feel like a victim, in the past or future, turning your back to the life that you dream about creating.
Consciously or unconsciously, you are creating your life and the environment around you with your thought process. The most common misuse of the Law of Attraction often includes focusing on the things that are lacking in your life. You must always ensure that you acknowledge the good things in your life RATHER than focusing on the things which results in negative and misuse of the Law of Attraction.
Tip:
Use the rubber band method to condition your mind to focus solely on the most positive elements of your life. Place a rubber band around your wrist. Each time a negative, energy sapping thought enters into your mind, SNAP the rubber band. Through the power of conditioning, your mind will associate pain with negative thinking and you will soon possess a strongly positive mindset.
A negative mind will never give you a positive life, true or false? Discuss polarities.

Day 9
Everything in our universe in energy. The Law of Attraction will only work for you if you understand how it works. Like a magnet that has a positive and negative charge, the Law of Attraction is based on positive and negative thoughts and feelings. If you keep thinking and feeling positive…positive will be your experience…if you keep thinking and feeling negative…negative will be your life experience. If you are having a variety of negative experiences, deliberately withdraw your attention from one thought and give your attention to another.
Your past, present and future experience is created and affected by the energy that you are transmitting inside of you. You can feel inside of you if you are connected to your God force energy source or if you are not.
Mis-use of the Law of Attraction can also happen by not being clear and consistent about what it is that you want. There are many people who know what they do not want but are rarely clear about what they actually want. In case you find yourself with conflicting views about what you want, you will be misusing the Law of Attraction. For example: If you desire a life partner on one day, yet on other days you say that you do not wish to get into a relationship because you are too busy or you’re not inclined to make the emotional investment you are actually confusing your thought process. Hence, it is imperative that you remain consistent and clear in what you want. Often determining what you want involves exploration of the things that bring true happiness to your life. For this, you must be able to surrender yourself to a larger purpose in life which will help you find what it is that you truly desire in life. Do not focus on the negative lacking part of the desire.
I am grateful each and every day knowing that I have the power to control my own mind. I don’t blame others for the way that I feel…”No one can make you feel inferior without your consent”. Eleanor Roosevelt

Systematic Problem Solving
Oil Painting – Shelley D. Chuchmuch Dec 2015 Thinking Outside of the Box
Oil – Shelley D. Chuchmuch 2015 Policy Analysis Who and what controls our world? Re-arranging Thought
The key to systematic problem solving is to understand the issue at hand. Solve your problems systematically based on the way that you feel as you are attempting to create solutions. This process is done on a weekly basis. Place the problem that you want to solve on the top of your paper at the beginning of your week. Each day, review your problem based on the influences of your environment and how the solution impacts you. Daily, immerse yourself in something that motivates you creatively. This process can be completed through painting, gardening, making music, anything that brings you joy and peace while doing it. While you are working on what you love, create alternatives to your problems through seeking solution.
Step 1: At the top of your page, write out the problem that you want to solve. Step 2: Choose your method of problem solving through creativity Step 3: Come up with alternative solutions Step 4: At the end of the week, or when your project is complete, act on the solution.

Day 10
My beliefs are thoughts that I keep on thinking…and thinking….and thinking….what am I thinking about? What do I believe and why do I believe it? Are my beliefs limiting my true potential? Do I have any self-defeating behaviors? Do I have any habits that are not serving me well?
Every thought that you are thinking and giving your attention to becomes bigger and bigger and becomes part of your life experience. Whether it is a thought about something that you want…or don’t want…your constant attention to it invites it in.
Think about the thoughts that you are always thinking, words or actions that no longer serve your best life. Change them for positive habits that are more appropriate for your current situation. The first step to solving any problem is admitting that there is one. Have you noticed a pattern in your thought?
The Law of Attraction provides one of the most powerful ways of achieving success and your heart’s desires. But for the Law of Attraction to work in an effective manner it is extremely important to have a clear and consistent intention. By having clear and consistent intention a vibration match will be possible which means that you will be able to generate energetic harmony. An inconsistent and unclear intention will not allow you to generate a vibration match can cancel your request to the universe.
What formulated your belief system?

Day 11
What do I believe about my body? Do I have a healthy self-respect for my body or do I tell myself negative things when I look in the mirror? Do I rely on others to give me confidence or does that confidence come from inside of me? You cannot desire something and focus on the absence of it and then expect to receive it. Your desire and your beliefs must be a vibrational match in order for the universe to bring what you desire.
Think of your life like a creative workshop. Make a list of the positive things that are happening all around you. You are the star of your own movie…the movie that you are producing and creating is your own life…so, what’s your story? What stories are you telling yourself? Whose tune are you listening to?
The most common mistakes committed by most individuals while using the Law of Attraction is to confuse the end goals with the means used to achieve the end goals. End goals are essentially outcomes that a person is not willing to compromise with the end goals often described exactly what the person wants. On the other hand, mean goals are essentially the different paths and methods used to achieve the end goals.
Many times individuals find that they are blocked on the part of achieving their goals. This is because they have not been able to visualize the outcomes properly in their mind or they have become confused between the mean goals and the end goals. Thus to be able to achieve success or any outcome in your life at a faster pace you must be able to concentrate on the end instead of the means. Concentrate on the solution and the end goal.
What are your strengths?

I can change my thoughts about any situation and find the solution. When you are solution orientated, the feeling inside of you will feel differently from the feeling of the problem. Most people do not pay attention to the thoughts that they are thinking, they live life reacting to their life experience wondering why it is that they keep getting more of the same experience. Most creating happens when your mind is drifting or wandering, during those activities that do not require conscious concentration, such as driving your car or taking a bath and grooming yourself. Do not give attention to anything of importance when you are feeling bad!
There is value in recognizing in the early stages when you are on a negative path. Negative emotion is a warning bell that alerts you to negative creation. If negative emotion goes un-noticed, the law of attraction enhances it and it becomes larger and larger. Those who experience illness or are deteriorating in health are experiencing it because the “warning bell” or negative emotion has been ignored.
Create a habit out of multiplying positive thoughts in your mind and focusing on the end goals rather than the mean goals is essentially using hybrid force in combination with the Law of Attraction to achieve success and your heart’s desires in your life.

When what you want is not coming to you, what is the signal that you are putting out to the universe? Every subject and situation has the equivalent of positive and negative. What are you focusing on?
Take note of what you are writing. When you write out and reflect on your experience you remember how you felt. Can you find any negative patterns in your thinking?
There is a big difference in the emotional feeling of appreciating a situation, your mate, friends compared to what you would like to be different. Focus on appreciation.
Awareness of the creative process is of great advantage to people who want to deliberately control their life experience. The biggest stumbling block that impacts creation is the influence from others and their thoughts. As you examine the thought of others, you may begin to think about the thought and create in the direction of it. Unless you are very clear in every moment, you may be influenced by the thoughts, words or actions of those that surround you to create something that you do not want.
If I keep doing what I have always done in the past…I will keep getting more of what I already have….if I change my thought and emotion….my situation will change…

Day 14
Be aware of the influence of your habits that you have developed over time for your intentions may different than they are now. When you are responding out of habit rather than out of deliberate thought, you may be creating in a different or opposite direction than what you really want in the current moment. You have the power within you to control your reaction to your experience. You cannot control the behavior of others but you can control your reaction. You are responsible for the way that you feel. Your feelings and thoughts are your responsibility. It is up to you to create your own happiness. Your words, thoughts and emotions have power…use them wisely.
Every thought begins small and by the law of attraction as you review the thought, study or think about it longer, it grows until eventually you speak it. Throughout the day we all get inspiration and excellent ideas. Keep a set of cards (the size of business cards: available at most stationary stores) along with a wallet to note these insights. When you get home, put the idea in a central place such as a coil notepad and review them from time to time. As noted by Oliver Wendell Holmes: “Man’s mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions”.
“The greatest revolution in our generation is the discovery that human beings by changing their inner attitudes of their minds can change the outer aspects of their lives.” William James

Meditation
Meditation is an ancient practice that is known to improve spiritual, mental and physical well-being of a person. Today it is also considered the highest form of relaxation. Meditation is also known to have numerous health benefits such as lowering blood pressure and other problems related to the body.
Patanjali, an Indian sage referred to meditation as “self-realization” or absolute awareness of one’s self.
Organized religions such as Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and Sikhism promote the practice of meditation through prayer.
There are four main components to meditation. Mindfulness, concentration, insight and tranquility. Meditation can take many forms. A person does not have to be sitting in a lotus position to meditate. Meditation can be done through walking, running, gardening, dancing, doing something creative and the like. The whole idea is to calm the body to focus on wellness.
Breathe in….and out……repeating the words…”LET” as you breathe in…. “GO”…as you breathe out, slowing your breathing down to a state of relaxation. Try to sit comfortably for 15 minutes

I am a magnet. I attract everything into my life both positive and negative. You have the ability to receive communication and information from a variety of sources. You have the ability to be influenced by anything that is happening anywhere in the world. Technology opens the world to new information but it can also bring confusion and can be overwhelming. Rather than attending to your own desires, you are giving thought and attention to what is near you.
Love, joy and gratitude are the most powerful feelings inside of us that attract more positive into our lives. The more we love…the more love keeps coming to us….I am responsible for the way that I feel. Never stop learning, be thankful and LOVE. Thank you….thank you….thank you….

Preparing Experience
The key to successful habit is consistency. There are many psychology experts who believe that you can form a habit in 21 days and hence you can use three weeks of your time to form a habit force of thinking positive thoughts focusing on your end goals. However, in most cases you will not know it because once the habit is formed you will subconsciously visualize achievement of your end goals by studying your vision.
At all times you must ensure that you remain consistent and have a timed ritual to provide energy, attention and focus to your end goal. You can take ownership of your mental power. At all times you must believe in yourself to achieve your end goals and remain flexible to change your mean goals to achieve the final outcome in your life.
Prepare your experience by reflecting before it happens. Give conscious thought to how you would like situations to be.
Set aside time in the morning for yourself and be strongly disciplined with this habit. Use this period to plan your week. Visualize your encounters and what you want to achieve.
Communication tip:
Always remember that the key principle in that the quality of your life is the quality of your communication. This means the way you communicate with others and, more importantly, the way that you communicate with yourself. What you focus on you will get.

Day 19
The law of attraction is always working. Feel bad thoughts and emotions…bad things happen….Think thoughts of happiness and well-being. Speak words of well- being and imagine yourself completely well. Happiness is always knocking at your door, you just have to open the door and let it in. There is no such thing as exclusion in an attraction based universe…the happier you feel...the better it gets…the worse you feel…the worse things will get.
Focus your energy on the positive experiences in your life and do not focus on any obstacles coming in your way of achieving your end goals. Do not believe in negative thought processes such as you do not deserve success or happiness. Even if you have experienced a lifetime of other people telling you that you do not deserve success or happiness, you must not believe such negative thought processes. Break the chain of negative belief such as you are not good enough, you will never achieve anything, you do not deserve happiness, you do not deserve success or rich people are evil and selfish.
Do not focus on any main goals that are not working. Instead, focus on changing to mean goals according to your situation to achieve your end goals. For example, do not focus on the lack of guidance from your boss or how mean your neighbors are. If you wish to change something in your life, you must focus on being able to attract what you want such as love, peace and harmony in your life.
Do focus on providing positivity into other people’s lives, and also be grateful for what you have in your life. If you wish to bring positivity in your life, you must be grateful for what you have rather than focusing on the different things that are lacking in your life. You must also be kind and sweet to people irrespective of their behavior towards you. For example, if you wish to find a life partner who is supportive, accepting and loving you must be the same person to attract your life partner. “Think your way to happiness! Happy feelings attract happy circumstances.” Power of Positivity

Affirmations
Self-affirmations are positive statements or self-scripts that can shape the subconscious so that you will be able to develop a positive thought process. It will help you have a more positive perception of yourself.
Affirmations can help you to modify harmful behaviors or achieve goals, and they can also help undo the harm cause by negative self-talk, those things which we repeatedly tell ourselves (or which other people repeatedly tell us) that contribute to a negative self-perception. Affirmations are simple to create and use, but you will need commitment to make them work. Here are some pointers to help you get the most out of these powerful tools.
To assist you in using your affirmations:
Think of your positive attributes.
Think of what negative self-talk you would like to counteract or what positive goals that you want to achieve.
Prioritize your list of affirmations and what to work at.
Compose a list of your affirmations. Write them down.
Match up some of your positive attributes with your goals.
Make your affirmations visible so you will be able to use them on a day to day basis.
Continue using your affirmations even if you’re feeling better or all around doing better in life. It will continue.
Focus your energy and concentration on receptive vibrations such as telling yourself that you deserve happiness and success. You must also keep repeating to yourself that happiness, success and abundance is on its way to greet you and provide you all the success and happiness that you deserve.

“The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.” Marcus Aurelius
There are many people who have anger issues, but you are able to control these issues. Anger is an intrinsic human emotion and is nature’s way of empowering us to “ward off” our perception of an attack or threat to our welfare. The trouble isn’t anger itself, but it is the mismanagement of your anger that is causing you anguish. Mismanaging your anger and rage is a huge cause of conflict in your personal and professional relationships. You need to tell yourself that you are able to control your anger in certain situations and with certain individuals. Tell yourself no individual or event upsets my mind, it’s only my inability to tolerate them which makes me so irritated. So with a high state of tolerance no individual or adverse situation will irritate me as I have the power to change myself.
Affirm: I am a positive individual unaffected by the negative thoughts of other people. I am a powerful individual unaffected by the negative words and attitudes of other people. Negative thinking is a bad habit that I choose to stop.

Shake what your mamma gave you! Have fun and dance, dance, dance! Wake up each morning and put your favorite music on and dance! We attract to us by frequency, even the music that we listen to is operating a frequency. What music are you listening to? This gives you an indication of what is going on with yourself internally.
Try to listen to music that up lifts you. Often musicians sing songs and express though music what we cannot find in our own words. Find what is resonating with you as music are what emotions sound like. Sometimes, through music, others can express what you cannot. Everybody has a song that tells their story? What’s your tune?

“Like success, failure is man things to many people. With a positive mental attitude, failure is a learning experience, a rung on the ladder, a plateau at which to get your thoughts in order to prepare to try again.” W. Clement Stone
Build an unstoppable mindset:
How do you build a positive attitude? There is a big attitude and then there is a small attitude. The big attitude happens over a period of time. If you are 15, 20, 50 or 80 years old, it takes a long time to build your attitude. All of your experiences, everything that you have thought about, all the things that you have done through your life, build that big perspective. Is the glass half full or is the glass half empty? Are you an optimist or a pessimist? Your choice of focus makes the difference between success and failure.
Your brain can only think one direction at a time. I can be thinking about good stuff or I can be thinking about bad stuff. It is a choice. I can be thinking about how things haven’t worked for me and all that’s wrong and all the problems I have had and how everything always “sucks”. Or I can focus on possibilities. There are things I can do. I can learn new things. I can take life in a new way. I can build better relationships. I can make my life go in a certain way. I will build and unstoppable mindset!

How do your thoughts make you feel? You create the masterpiece that is you! There is not another person on the earth like you. No one else can make you feel bad or good. It is your choice for how to react. You are in charge of your life. You are in charge of your thoughts, your knowledge, the books that you read, the people whom you spend your time with, the movies that you watch and you have control over what feeds your mind. Every action and reaction is under your control. You can be disciplined.
Nothing worthwhile has ever been accomplished without discipline. Yet it’s the most disliked word. While most approve of it, few abide by it. Affirm to yourself: I won’t be among the undisciplined crown at the bottom. I’ll be at the top with few who dared to discipline themselves. I know I’m an artist creating a master piece. I have the power to create the master piece of my life. I’ll shape myself into a masterpiece of inspiration for generations to come. My paint brush is mental attitude and the canvass is discipline. I use tools my tools cautiously. Gradually, I paint out uninvited traits in me. I learn to work with loving discipline for if I try to force myself into something I don’t want to be in, my masterpiece will be ruined.

When you understand that your beliefs are also creations set into motion by you because of previous life experience then you realize that your beliefs are pliable and moldable. You alter your beliefs by applying new or additional thoughts until you have molded them into that which you prefer.

Systematic Problem Solving Process Cleaning for Clarity
To experience the effectiveness of the Law of Attraction and to bring positivity into your life, you must be able to clear the clutter from your mind to allow positive thoughts to grow. For this you must understand that any thought when provided attention will multiply into more thoughts. Thus, if you think positively, the positive thoughts will multiply resulting in you attracting positivity into your life. The fuel for any thought process both negative and positive is providing attention to the thought process. With the attention of thought you simply die back into nothingness from which it was born. You can use this principle to remove the negative thoughts form your mind before you start to feel overwhelmed by the negative thought process. Negative thoughts will stave due to lack of attention and soon your mind will be back to thinking positive.
Positive thoughts are creative forces and they arise from abundance and love. Your being has abundant capacity to generate positive and creative thoughts which when active can help you clear your mind from the clutter of negative thoughts to transform your mind with conditioned thinking.
If you have an issue or a problem that must be solved, practice the cleaning the clutter for clarity process. Clean out a drawer, your bedroom, or section of your house. Organizing the clutter around you will support you in cleaning out the clutter of your own mind. Problem solve seeking the solution to your problem while you are cleaning out the clutter. When you reach the end of the process of your cleaning, decide on the best solution to your problem.

Everybody isn’t your friend. Just because they hang around with you doesn’t mean they are your friend. People pretend well. At the end of the day, real situations expose fake people, so pay attention.
Affection is an emotion, but it’s likewise much more than that. Among the key choices you face in each encounter is the choice to draw close or avoid. You are able to attempt to connect with individuals, or you are able to retreat from them. You are able to absorb yourself in your day’s work, or you are able to dilly dally. You may approach any individual, place or thing with the aim to connect or you may stay distant. The decision to connect is the core of affection. Daily you’re compelled to make connection choices. By your actions you choose what to associate with and what to void. If you wish to grow consciously, you must intentionally choose which connections you’ll fortify and which you’ll let soften.
Such selections ultimately decide the shape of your life. In the long term, our life becomes an expression of what you decide to connect with often. In order to develop as humans, we have to master the art of forming connections.

You came to this earth for the fun of it and to learn, to seek out new information and to find joy in each and every day. The quality of your life depends on what you create…and that all begins with thought. Think….feel….visualize….materialize…..joy…. “As a man thinks….so is he.” Proverbs 23:7
“You shall always find what you created in your mind, for instance, a benevolent God or an evil Devil. Between them are countless facets. Therefore, concentrate on the depth of your consciousness and on what you consider to be positive and good.” Hans Bender
Building connections are important. To connect implies to give something your care, to consider it, and to engage with it. As well as connecting with individuals, you are able to connect with groups, things, places, thoughts, values and actions. Building a link calls for nothing but your tending. Consider your mother, consider democracy, and consider your preferred song. Put your attention on something and you at once associate with it.
Do you recall how you first found out about the physical world when you were a young kid? You looked around and observed things that seized your attention. Then you proceeded towards them, grasped up and began playing with them. You found out about your surroundings, by direct, hands-on experience. If you discovered something that you did not like, you attempted to avoid it in the future. If you discovered something you admired, you provided it even more tending.

An attitude of gratitude attracts more positive…..appreciate and be thankful for your current situation….appreciating the present….brings a fruitful future….the emotion of love and gratitude…is the strongest GOD force energy that there is…
As adults we frequently blank out that the best way to satisfy our desires is to waltz right up to whatever intrigues us and engage with it straight off. Rather, we make up all kinds of rules and principles that confine our ability to relate with what we wish. We can’t begin our own business because it’s too hazardous. We can’t speak to that individual as we’re already engaged in a relationship. We can’t research other belief systems as our present religion forbids it. Such principles are rooted in fearfulness and disconnection, and they have no place in a life story of conscious development. When you make the dedication to live consciously, you’ll frequently discover yourself battling with the principles. If you want to become more loving, you have to be wishing to connect.
Many of the most beneficial growth experiences will happen when we choose to associate with something that was significant when other people were not interested. In order to discover and grow, you have to be free to connect with what you wish and unplug from what you don’t wish. No one may provide you with that freedom. It is your right as a human being. You don’t require anybody’s permission to choose which associations are most beneficial for you. As you stretch your mind by new experience, you learn to apply new knowledge, new insight and new clarity. There is more than one way to cut a cake! Learn as many ways as possible!
Today is the first day of the rest of my positive life….I appreciate all of life’s gifts.

Preferred learning style – There are known to be various styles of learning that suit certain individuals better than others. Learning in the wrong style can hinder your accomplishments and create the impression, to yourself and others, that you are not intelligent. There are 9 different forms of intelligence according to Dr. Howard Gardner: It is not a question of are you smart, rather how are you smart?
Which of the intelligences do you feel that you relate best? You will discover that you may be some, or you may be a little bit of all. These intelligences however, determine the cultural make up of a human being. Through the multiple intelligences, we communicate, we AND we self-express. These intelligences are essential to human development. Most industrialized education models practiced by most every country in the world, predominantly focus on Logical and Mathematical and linguistic reasoning.

How do I learn best? How do I communicate? How do I know what I know?
What do I believe about my friendships? What kind of friendship do I want? How do I want those friendships to be? I am grateful for the love, support and kindness of my friends. We treat each other with respect and we value each other beyond measure. We support one another to achieve our goals; we are there for one another without question. That is a true friend.
Communicating is the means through which we convey affection. The root word of communicate signifies “common”, and it’s natural to believe that once we communicate with somebody, we seek something we bear in common. Discovering commonalities is fundamentally how we forge fresh associations.
You communicate effectively by firstly associating with the familiar and then broadening into the unfamiliar. When you meet someone new, the opening move is to find your shared concerns, values and mental attitude. This produces a basic adherence of trust and friendship. Research and learn from your differences. Individuals who are too dissimilar from you are hard to bond with, and those who are too like you can’t teach you a great deal. The most beneficial relationships supply enough mutual ground to forge a strong bond as well as arousing growth in fresh directions. The deepest form of communicating is common face to face conversation. This lets you find out not only content but likewise vocal aspects and body language. You’ll commonly experience much richer associations with individuals when you communicate in the flesh rather than by telephone or email.
How effectively do you communicate?

Day 32
Great communicating skills take time to formulate. The more you rehearse, the better you’ll become. Where there are particular methods you may learn like smiling, sustaining an open posture, and attaining eye contact, don’t forget that the main purpose of communicating is to produce a connection with the other individual. Even when you have a particular agenda in mind such as persuasion, training or amusement, your opening move is to institute a bond.
Excellent public speakers, instructors and entertainers endeavor to break the ice and associate with their audiences, only after this is accomplished do they do into their primary material. True communicating calls for mutual understanding rooted in affection and faith; otherwise, you can’t in effect share truth with other people.
It isn’t adequate to speak your mind and presume others comprehend and accept what you are stating, nor is it adequate to listen well and assume you comprehend what’s been stated. To communicate advantageously, there must be some bond between the talker and the listener. There are few better delights in life than the experience of conscious communicating with another individual. No self-importance games, false fronts or manipulative maneuvers are utilized. Both people merely wish to connect with one another for the purpose of learning and developing. When you have went through exposed, loving communicating with another human, it is difficult to go with anything less.

The Industrialized model of education practiced by most every country in the world was designed for societies in the 18th and 19th century teaching students what to think and not how to think. Has this system of education evolved to meet the learning requirements of the 21st century learner?
Does the current model of education make it ok for children to make mistakes? What are education systems not doing?

Making change is a scary process….however what is scarier is living a life of regret…Self reflect on your present reality asking yourself, is this the best that I can do? Is this truly the life experience that I want? Change begins inside of you.
Sharing is the deep sensation of bonding that brings about the emotional side of affection. It’s the delectable feeling of completeness that stems from portioning out our real selves. Think about your relationship with another individual. Where does it in reality exist? It does not exist in anyplace in the outside world. You can’t merely point to it and state, “this is our relationship right here.” Therefore your association with a different individual is whatever you believe it is. Your notion makes the relationship substantial. If you discontinue your belief in it, then for all pragmatic purposes, it no more exists. The tangible residue might stay on, like a specific living arrangement, but the real human connection will be left behind. By sharing with other people you discover how to love yourself more totally.
“Creation is not limited to the larger world; it is present in your life, in everyone’s lives. You create your circumstances of your own life – no one else does. If you think that people are controlling your fate and everything about your life, you are sorely mistaken. One’s life is one’s soul responsibility – and what a beautiful responsibility it is. Every human being born into this world is given the ability to create with his own thoughts. Thoughts are inscribed unto reality and reality has no other choice but to comply. Regardless of how much you may be ignoring this truth before the law of attraction works tirelessly to give you what you want – even if you are not conscious about the act of creation through thoughts.” Joe Vitale

Be patient, be kind and be good to yourself.

What you think and feel and what happens all around you is always a match. We are the captains of our own identity. Your attention must be on what you want and not on the lack of it. When you understand that your thoughts are the equivalent to your point of attraction and the way that you feel is an indicator of your level of allowing or resisting, you then hold the key to anything that you desire. It is not possible to consistently feel positive about something and have it turn out negatively just as it is not possible for you to consistently feel bad or worried about something and have it turn out positively.
Do not let anyone talk you out of your vision. People may tell you that you are crazy and that it cannot be done and they may try to bring you down to their level. Do not succumb to the insecurity of another. Just because that person did not have the confidence to create greatness in their own life does not mean that this will be the same for you.
Everyone has self-talk or self-chatter. Occasionally it’s positive and occasionally damaging or very damaging. Do you state things to yourself like: “you moron” or “how could you have possibly done that”? Do you state things to yourself that you wouldn’t state to other people? Is what you state kind to yourself?
I understand that if somebody stated directly to me some of the lectures I give myself, I would be exceedingly hurt. So why is it ok for me to make such remarks to myself? Be aware of the thoughts that you are thinking.
I am the captain of my own identity.

Your G.P.S or God’s Perfect Sensor, intuition or inner being only operates from a position of wellness, love and pure positive energy. The contrast comes from inside of you. Either you are allowing or disallowing the positive into your life experience. When you love someone, or yourself, you are in a vibrational match to whom you really are as expected by your source energy. If you are finding fault with yourself, or another, you are a not in that moment, a match to what GOD, or your source energy wants for you.
“A good life is when you smile often, dream big, laugh a lot, and realize that you are blessed to have what you have.” Kushand Wizdom
You were born with knowledge that you create your own mind and that knowledge is basic within you that when someone attempts to tell you that what you are doing in your life is wrong; you feel discord energy inside you. When matters are tough or you are combatting with something, encouragement is a marvelous means of presenting you a boost. But, does encouragement have to come from somebody externally? Belief in yourself is empowering.
Forgiveness is sometimes not simple. Among the steps in achieving forgiveness is self-forgiveness. So, if we don’t get that correct, we’re “damned” in attempts to forgive other people. Forgiving yourself is kind. Forgiving other people is kind. Acts of kindness calls for giving—whether it is a material or time or power of some sorts. Are you generous toward yourself?
Reflect on a time when you believed in yourself when no one else did. Reflect when you were generous with yourself. How did it feel?

No one else can create your life experience but you. “Learn to get in touch with the silence within yourself and know that everything in life has a purpose.” Elisabeth Kubler – Ross
Everyone needs to take time to themselves, be it reading or attending a class or lunch with a friend. You give to other people in order to regenerate them. You’re just as worthy of and in need of rejuvenation. Rejuvenation is the key to achievement. You cannot give to other people, if you don’t have plenty for yourself first.
It is crucial to rest if you are tired, to take a break if you have been mentally overworking, and to make alterations if you are dissatisfied, to look for help of you need it and so forth. It is another key to achievement and happiness. Attentiveness to yourself is part of a favorable life journey.

Reflect and journal: What do you think it means to be emotionally intelligent?
61 | P a g e a b c - i q . c o m
Shelley D. Chuchmuch Mind Science
What is Emotional Intelligence? And why is it so important?
In general terms, Emotional Intelligence (EI) refers to the ability to perceive, control and evaluate emotions – your own and those of other people.
Emotional Intelligence is a relatively new area of study. Its earliest roots can be tracked back to Darwin’s work on the importance of emotional expression for survival. In the 1900’s, the issue of intelligence was discussed mainly in terms of cognitive aspects such as memory and problem solving, although several influential researchers had begun to recognize the importance of non-cognitive aspects.
In 1920, E.L. Thorndike used the term “social intelligence” to describe the skill of understanding and managing people.The term “Emotional Intelligence” is usually attributed to Wayne Payne’s 1985 doctoral thesis, A Study of Emotion: Developing Emotional Intelligence, but mainstream media interest was really only piqued in 1995 after a time magazine article on Daniel Goleman’ best seller, Emotional Intelligence: Why It Can Matter More Than IQ.
Peter Salovey and John D. Mayer have been leading researchers on emotional intelligence since those days, and they define emotional intelligence as “the subset of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one’s own and other’s feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them and to use this information to guide one’s thinking and actions”.
Currently there are several different models proposed for the definition of EI, and researchers still disagree how the term should be used. Some think emotional intelligence can be learned and then strengthened, while others claim it is something that you are born with. This field of study is growing so fast that researchers are constantly amending even their own definitions.
Three Main Definitions of EI
Ability EI model- This is “the ability to perceive emotion, integrate emotion to facilitate thought, understand emotions and to regulate emotions to promote personal growth”.
1. Perceiving emotions is the ability to spot and decipher emotions in faces, pictures, voices and cultural artifacts. This represents a basic aspect of emotional intelligence, as it creates the opportunity for all other processing of emotional information to take place. 2. Using emotions is the ability to apply emotions to cognitive activities such as thinking and problem solving. This allows the emotionally intelligence person to use their moods to better manage their lives. 3. Understanding emotions I show we interpret the language of emotion and thus are able to better manage complicated emotional relationships.
62 | P a g e a b c - i q . c o m
Shelley D. Chuchmuch Mind Science
4. Managing emotions is the way we regulate our own emotions and those of other people so that we achieve optimum results.
Mixed models of EI – This is the model introduced by Daniel Goleman that defines EI as a wide range of competencies and skills that drive leadership performance. There are four main tenets:
1. Self –awareness is the ability to understand your emotions, recognize their impact, and use them to inform decisions. 2. Self-management involves controlling your emotions and impulses and adapting to circumstances. 3. Social awareness is the ability to sense, understand, and react to the emotions of others in social situations. 4. Relationship management is the ability to inspire, influence, and connect with others to manage conflict.
Trait EI model – Trait EI is “a constellation of emotion – related- self perceptions located at the lower level of personality”. Trait EI refers to an individual’s own perceptions of their emotional abilities, as opposed to the ability-based model which refers to actual abilities. However, assessing actual abilities has proven highly resistant to scientific measurement, so the reality is that there may actually be little to choose between them.

I am selfish enough to want to feel great each and every day. The reason that you have not gotten what you desire in life is because you are holding yourself in a pattern of thought and feeling that is not in the same category or feeling of what you desire. As you consciously consider the way that you are feeling, you will get better with directing the direction of your internal energy. When you have desired something for a long, long time and it has not come to you, the only reason can be is that your emotions are not a match to what your thoughts are thinking. There must be contradiction in your thoughts and feelings.
“Believe you can…and you are half way there.” Theodore Roosevelt
The Emotional Brain
The emotional brain (EB) is that part of the human brain that generates emotions. The EB operates subconsciously, processing the same information that enters the conscious thinking brain (TB). Because the EB responds more quickly, we can find ourselves acting before we have applied any logic to our actions.

You are the creator of your own life experience. You came to this earth to explore…learn….seek life experience and expand your knowledge…solidify the memory in your mind by remembering the experience based on how you felt…write it out.
When you give your attention to a thought, the thought immediately becomes activated inside of you and the law of attraction immediately responds to your thought, which means the other thoughts, in vibrational harmony with the thought that you have just activated, now join together with the origin of your thought.
Keys to Successful Public Speaking Presentations– Brian Tracy
When you have chosen your point to present, utilize the “PREP” formula for each point that you want to make in the presentation.
P: Point of View – state your thought, idea or fact at the beginning. R: Reasons: State your reasons for holding this point of view or idea. E: Example: Illustrate, reinforce, or prove your point of view. P: Point of view: Restate the first “P” to emphasize your idea. Organize your topic using The Windshield – Wiper Method
State a fact and follow it with a story. State another fact and follow it with a quote. State another fact and follow it with and example. State a fact and follow it with a numerical illustration. Go back and forth, like a windshield wiper. Source: Brian Tracy – Speak to Win

I am not walking on the earth to be the same as everyone else…I AM ME….Whenever you practice a thought consistently on a subject, causing a consistent vibrational activation of it within you, it becomes dominant in your experiences.

Speak and think about the things that you want. Are your beliefs serving you well? Your beliefs are thoughts that we keep thinking over and over again. Once you have practiced a thought and feeling long enough, it will become part of your experience, anything that you give your prolonged attention to will become your “VERITAS”- truth. Working hard for something we don’t care about is called stress, working hard for something we love is called passion.
The Law of Attraction responds to your energy that you are putting out to the universe. It does not know the difference between real and make believe. If you feel prosperous, you will become prosperous. Financial wealth is a state of mind. If you believe that money is the root of all evil and is hard to come by, that is what will be your predominant experience.
Passionate about Prosperity Process
If you are passionate about prosperity and want to attract more into your life, carry a 50 or 100 dollar bill in your pocket or wallet and spend it all day long, spend it in your mind. Keep thinking and feeling what it would feel like to spend that money all day long.

Most people go through life not paying attention to the thoughts that they are thinking and the life experience that is being created around them. If you are thinking negative about any situation that is what you are telling the universe that you want. You are the only one that is responsible for what is happening all around you. Are you reacting to your experience or are you creating it? With enough attention to something it will become a part of your experience. Once you expect something to come…it will. True knowledge application comes when there is a change in your behavior.

Choose your life experience wisely….do not let the fear of the unknown paralyze you. It is those experiences that cause us the most growth. A mind that is not challenged will atrophy. You create your world around you. The different life experiences that you have will help you to choose what is right or wrong for you. When there is a desire in you, and you focus upon it, the universe begins to set into motion what it is that you want, both things that are wanted and wanted. Do not fear the unwanted, for you must know what you don’t want….to bring you closer to knowing what you do want. However, do not continually focus on what you don’t want. For that is what you will get, be aware and turn your attention to the wanted. Let the variety in your life inspire you. If you believe in yourself and your abilities…anything is possible.

Tip
Stop complaining
Whenever it comes to success, the best place to start is by committing yourself to not complaining. Of course, it is perfectly fine to raise concerns, to question dubious choices and to remain thoughtful and analytical at all times. However, needless and persistent complaining generally accomplishes nothing positive. To the contrary, it drags you down, reflects poorly on you, and can transform otherwise productive co- workers into cynical, whining, unproductive co-workers. Focus on problem solving, not complaining that they cannot be solved.

What do you value the most in life? We are living in a changed world where everything is replaceable. Values of the past promoting preservation and fixing things that are broken are no longer encouraged due to capitalism. This thought is prevalent from relationships to material possessions.
When it comes to relationships, like with anything, you can choose to feel happy….or you can choose to feel sad….You have absolute control where you focus your energy and your attention. The key to feeling better is being in tune with the way that you feel. If you don’t know how you feel, you cannot understand which way you are moving on the self- assessment grid. If you take the time to intentionally determine the emotion that you are feeling, any improvement in your feeling means that you are making progress towards achieving your goal. If the negative emotions are intensifying that means that you are moving in the opposite direction of your intended purpose.

Whether you are thinking about what you want….or don’t want….the law of attraction brings what you are focusing on….wake up each morning and give thanks for what you are presently living. By paying attention to your G.P.S, you have creative control of your own experience. If you want to change your life experience, you have to change your belief about the situation. There is no condition so severe that you cannot reverse it by choosing a different thought. However, choosing different thoughts requires focus and practice. If you continue to focus on things as you have been, to think as you have been, then nothing in your life experience will ever change. The quickest method to change your experience is through gratitude…….

Strive to Reach Your Full Potential One of the things that prevents many people from achieving the best possible outcome is complacency. Once they begin to do well at something in business— be it advertising, inspiring employees, or something else—they take a miniature mental vacation. That is—instead of ratcheting things up further, they let things play out and contribute nothing additional. The usual end result of this is generally not positive.

TIP:
Walking Meditation
To enhance your concentration and powers of focus, count your steps when you walk. Take six steps while taking a long inhale, hold your breath for six steps, and then exhale for six steps. If six steps is too long for breaths, do whatever you feel comfortable with. You will feel very alert, refreshed, and internally quiet and centered after this exercise.
All peak performers appreciate the power of a quiet, clear mind which will concentrate steadily on all important tasks. If you prefer to be in nature, quietly examine each tree, flower, leaf and with a feeling of gratitude quietly smile and say, you are my favorite. See how your energy feels inside of you. Feel appreciation for the beauty of the environment around you.

When you keep thinking about the way things are….you will get more of the way that things are. “At the basis of every wish and desire is the belief that you will feel better when you receive what you were asking for. Whether it is a material object, a healthy way of being, a relationship, a condition, or a circumstance, at the heart of every matter is the desire or wanting to feel good”. Esther Hicks
The standard of success in life is the measure that you set for yourself. However, success is not material things or money that you have in your bank account. The standard of success in your life is measured by the amount of joy and happiness that you have in your day to day life. If your goal is to achieve a great deal of financial wealth, get happy first…then everything else will be delivered to you. Money gives a person financial freedom but it does not buy you love or happiness and peace in your heart.

Be thankful for your life experience…..How do you know what it is that you know? Did you experience it for yourself or is your knowing based on the belief of someone else? What are your life experiences for understanding your knowledge?
“You are created in the likeness of GOD. You are pure positive energy, you are love and you expect good things for yourself and others. When you love and respect yourself and others you are operating in tune with your highest self, appreciation for your life experience and for others are the closest energy feelings that matches your GOD source energy. If your family or friend who adores you and appreciates you tells you how great and wonderful you are, the reason those words feel good to you is because it is what GOD or your higher self thinks about you at all times. When a teacher or someone in your life experience speaks negatively to you for some action that you have done, you feel bad because you have been influenced by a thought that does not match the thoughts that GOD has about you”. Esther Hicks
I am thankful for my life experience….I know what I know because.

When you are consciously aware of where you are on the self-assessment scale, you have the understanding of where you would like to be and then nothing can keep you where you presently are. You have the power in your hand to choose to think better thoughts or to find solutions to your present situation. When you find solutions, your emotions will feel better.

What is your story? “If a man’s mind becomes pure, his surroundings will also become pure.” Buddha
Think back to when you are a child and you played pretend or make believe, do you remember how convinced you were by your imagination? This is what you must do to create the life that you want…imagine already having it…find the feeling place of it already being yours…..feel the feeling in your chest…feel the joy of the experience that you have created in your mind…only when you are feeling positive joy, love, gratitude and appreciation should you take action. When you are in this state, things that are in alignment with you will show up in your experience.
When you are faced with a negative situation, try to think of a better feeling thought to find the solution. Once you find a better feeling thought and make the best of the situation, you will find your relief and you will begin to see improvement.

Only when you are happy should you think about big decisions…
“For as you make those statements through your thoughts or if you voice them aloud, or if you write them with your pen upon your paper, you will set in motion the creation of those desires.” Abraham Hicks
You are free to choose the thoughts that you are thinking. You are free to choose thoughts of freedom, joy, love and happiness and you are free to choose thoughts of despair, bondage or sadness. The better that you feel, the more in line you are with what your higher self or GOD wants for you. The worse that you feel, the more you are not allowing your connection to your positive energy stream.

“All that is happening to me is the equivalent to the thoughts that I am thinking and what I am feeling. To understand how you are thinking thoughts without realizing it, stop right now, close your eyes, and do not think a single thought for ten seconds. If thoughts keep on coming, then you know that your thoughts are coming into your mind without you even realizing it.” Rhonda Byrne – The Secret
“If you are going to be successful in creating the life of your dreams, you have to believe that you are capable of making it happen. You have to believe that you have the right stuff, that you are able to pull it off. You have to believe in yourself. Whether you call it self – esteem, self-confidence, or self-assurance, it is a deep-seated belief that you have want it takes – the abilities, inner resources, talents, and skills to create your desired results.” Jack Canfield – The Success Principles
Reflect on a time when you slowed your thoughts down and meditated to find the solution to your problem.

Day 59
Find a better feeling thought…think solution…when I try to find solutions, my emotions are not as intense as when I continually focus on the problem. When you think your thoughts and you feel better, you know that you are on the right track to seeking the solution. If a situation seems to be out of your control or you are overwhelmed with emotion, slow your thoughts down.
Believing in yourself and your abilities is an attitude that you must adapt and truly believe in. It is developed over time. You might have to let go of some of the limiting beliefs that were engrained in you. Let those beliefs go that are not serving you. The past is in the past. It is your responsibility to take charge of your own self-concept and of the beliefs you hold about yourself. You must choose to believe that you can accomplish anything that you set your mind to doing.

Life is not a competition with others: it is a competition with you. How far can you push yourself to achieve what you really want in this life?
Comparing yourself to others only leaves you feeling negative. Your life is yours to create. You can look to others as a model however; your choices are up to you. Creating your life on purpose is not about the current condition changing and then you will feel better about it, you must feel better in your current condition by choosing better feeling thoughts which will then cause your condition to change.

When you think about not having enough, you will get not enough, if you think about abundance and more than enough that is what you will get. Sometimes in life, everyone may not agree with your thought. They may not have the same life experience for knowledge application. Be careful who you choose to let into your social circle. Be sure that intentions are honorable. You may not always be in agreement with those that are around you, however, if you have a desired goal, do not let anyone talk you into thinking that you cannot achieve it. They are giving their feedback based on observations of things that they could not achieve in their own life. DEFINE YOURSELF!
“Of all the beautiful truths pertaining to the soul that has been restored and brought to light in this age, none is more gladdening or fruitful of divine promise and confidence than this – that you are the master of your own thought, the molder of your character, and the maker and shaper of your condition, environment and destiny.” James Allen – As A Man Thinketh

Use your imagination to envision the life that you want to create. Imagine yourself in 5 years, 10 years, and 15 years from this moment. “Begin with the end in mind.” Stephen Covey
Where will you be? What are you doing? Who will you be with? Most super successful people will tell you that they were not the most gifted or talented person in their field, but they chose to believe that anything was possible. They achieved their successes by studying, practicing and working harder. They viewed problems as opportunities.

When I think about the solution to any problem, I feel better. You remember the most painful experience by the way that you felt. You never forget the emotion or the feeling of feeling good or bad about the situation. You remember the details based on the level of your joy or your pain. Negative energy feels depleting, positive energy feels uplifting.
Modern brain research focuses on sensory and cognitive functions, because these processes are more amenable to objective study in the laboratory. It is clear, however, that the brain is far more than this, and our ability to express emotions is a fundamental form of behavior. It is equally clear that our “emotional brain” influences the decisions made by our “thinking brain” and vice versa.

Replay the situation in your mind and imagine a different outcome…imagine the outcome that you wanted. Make peace with the outcome and let the experience go. Remember to apply the lesson if it should ever arise in your life again. Be easy on yourself for the choices that you made. Pat yourself on the back!

Neuro Science is taking an avid interest in the emotional brain. Studies cover all areas, including genes and their molecular products, cellular psychological properties of neurons in dishes as well as living in brains, pharmacology of synaptic transmission, behavioral processes, computer simulations of brain function, and imagining of normal subjects alongside neurological and psychiatric patients.
It is now known that the amygdalae – part of the limbic system and considered to be the emotional center of our brain – perform a primary role in the processing and memory of emotional reactions. The amygdalae are almond shaped groups of nuclei located deep within the medial temporal lobes of the brain in complex vertebrates, including humans.

WHY DO WE ACT EMOTONALLY?
Neuroscientists have recently discovered that much of what we see and hear goes directly to the amygdala without passing through the Neo-cortex where logic and rational decision making occurs. This means that we often feel and act before we think.
One of the easiest ways to study responses within the amygdalae is with Pavlovian fear conditioning. Research indicates that sensory stimuli during fear conditioning reach the central nuclei of the amygdalae where they form associations with memories of stimuli.
The more often synapses are affected, the quicker they will trigger a response, such as freezing (immobility), tachycardia (rapid heartbeat), increased respiration, and stress hormone release. It is only through emotional intelligence that we are able to manage these responses more rationally, although we should not forget that some of our emotional responses – such as our fear response – happen for a very good reason, and ignoring or damping them too quickly could lead to our succumbing to a dangerous situation.
The important point is to differentiate between “acting” emotionally, and “reacting” emotionally. If we take the obvious connotation of the word “acting”, then this implies that our acting emotional is quite within our power to control because it is simply that: AN ACT!
Although the stimulus may have been very real, and the reaction to it genuine enough, our continued display of emotion is not being falsely perpetuated since the thinking brain has had ample opportunity to analyze the situation and factor in some sense of calm. Being able to rationalize our emotional reactions and not have them create an unnecessary ongoing drama is the essence of emotional intelligence.
The simple advice often offered to individuals who are prone to flying off the handle is to take a deep breath before reacting. This makes perfect sense when you consider how our emotional responses can fire up before our rationale has had a chance to moderate the situation.
“If you want to be happy, you have to be happy on purpose. When you wake up, you can’t just wait to see what kind of day you’ll have. You have to decide what kind of day you’ll have”. Joel Osteen

The Focus Wheel Process - Abraham Hicks
The Focus Wheel is a process invented by Abraham Hicks to help people change their point of attraction and vibration on any subject in life.
Whenever you think about any subject, your job for example, it makes you feel a certain way. So if you feel frustrated when you think about your job then your point of attraction on the subject of your job is frustration. And so you will continue to attract more frustration when it comes to your job.
You can change how you feel (point of attraction) about anything in your life. You can focus yourself into a better feeling about anything.
Process: In the center of the circle, write out the solution according to your higher self. Outside of the circle, write out the problem. In each of the spaces around the circle, write out what you already believe about the situation, in a positive light. This will help to get you into a better feeling place towards attracting the end result in the center of the circle.A

Appreciation Station
Appreciate those around you! Appreciate yourself and your talents.
By letting people you know how much you appreciate them, you increase your own sense of appreciation and self-worth, and encourage them to pay this positive energy forward to other people.
Set a specific time each day to consciously appreciate everything that you encounter. An ideal time to do this is on your way to school or work. Appreciate the people that you pass by, the street signs that make it easy for you to know where you are going, the rain that is nourishing the plants and the trees around you. Look for the good in all situations. Appreciate yourself and your own talents.
These activities bring me the most passion when I do them.…..

“The positive mind is always in harmony with itself, while the negative mind is always out of harmony, and thereby uses the greater part of its power… In the positive mind, all the actions of the mental system are working in harmony and are being fully directed toward the object in view, while in the negative mind, those same actions are scattered, restless, nervous, disturbing, moving the here and there, sometimes under direction, but most of the time not. That the one that should invariably succeed is therefore just as evident as that the other should invariably fail.” Christian D. Larson Your Forces and How to Use Them
Are you settling for less than what you truly want from life?

How to Strengthen Your EI and Increase Your IQ
In traditional terms, this is the balancing of the head and the heart. More accurately, since we know that our emotional intelligence also resides in the head, this is about creating a better relationship between the emotional brain and the thinking brain.
As the emotional brain can hijack our thinking processes, it does not take a giant leap to realize that our intelligence can be adversely affected by our emotions. How effective you can be if you are unable to think clearly because you are gripped by a certain emotion and cannot apply rationale to a subject. This is bottom line.
In reality, there will be individuals who have high academic IQ, but who lead chaotic and unfulfilled lives purely because they are unable to set aside their emotional reactions. In some cases, of course, we are talking about emotional hijacking that has led to mental problems. They are the archetypal “mad professor” types whose IQ’s are off the chart but are wound so tight, and so driven by their emotions, that they cannot free their true potential.
We may also be able to interchange “emotional intelligence” with “common sense”. IQ and common sense are not the same thing. An intelligent person without common sense can quickly reduce their ability to problem-solve because they do not have the wherewithal to see situations from what they really are.
In this respect, you could also list “streetwise” as synonymous with emotional intelligence, as this can provide the ability to react more rationally to more extreme situations that might provoke an emotional hijacking in someone less “street smart”.
A persons IQ is a measurement at one point in time that is established by means of testing. It does NOT take into account the vagaries that exist in the real world that may cause the same high IQ individual to fail when circumstances prove too fractious.
The real improvement that can result from improved emotional intelligence is better real- world problem solving skills, because emotions will not cloud the issue. Strengthening your emotional intelligence is not, therefore, about increasing IQ, but rather about allowing your existing IQ to shine through under more and more testing circumstances. Apply intellectual rationale to the risk factors for emotional reactions before they occur.
Emotional intelligence, such as self-managing intense feelings, developing empathy, listening to others without fear, judgment or contempt can often determine our destiny far more so than our IQ. We should be cognizant of the profound effects our emotional stability can have on the emotional health of other people. Learning not to react aggressively towards other people benefits you and the other person. They learn by default that emotions can be controlled, and may be inspired to improve their emotional responses as a result.

How to manage yourself better?
According to Greek writer Pausanias, “Know thyself” was inscribed in the forecourt of the Temple of Appolo at Delphi. This saying has been attributed to at least six ancient Greek sages, including Socrates.
There is no way to manage yourself better unless you know what makes you tick. You mental and emotional health depend entirely on your ability to understand why you behave the way that you do, and your power to effect changes necessary if your behavior leaves something to be desired.
Achieving self-awareness involves exploring our individual personalities, values, beliefs, natural inclinations, and tendencies. When we have a better understanding of ourselves, we are empowered to make changes and to build on our strengths. Self-awareness is the first step to goal setting, because how you can you set goals for yourself if you don’t know who you are? Knowing what you want is impossible without knowing who you are. Craving fame and fortune without assessing if you truly have the personality to cope with all its pressures is a thoroughly rocky road, and evidence would suggest it is a road much- travelled.

Instead, we use the resources of the world so that we can achieve what we want to achieve in life. We attract what exists in the real world so that we may satisfy our desires.

The repetition of the word joy sets up a quality of vibration which causes the joy germ to begin to expand and protect itself until your whole being is filled with joy. To this is not a mere fancy, but a truth.” Genevieve Behrend

Appreciation and Gratitude Strategy
Appreciate the small things, do not take them for granted. If you have food in your refrigerator, clothes in your closet and a roof over your head, you are better off than 75% of the world’s population.
If you eat three meals a day, you are far better off than the 1 billion people on the planet who eat once a day at most.
Do you have a phone? How about a car that allows you to travel to work or get around? Do you have a computer and internet access to stay in touch with the world, to get access to education, and perform work for which you are paid? Do you have clean water to drink?
Celebrate these blessings. These daily conveniences are gifts that most people in the world do not enjoy.

Thank you for all the fun and laughter… I am grateful… Write down all of the great things about all of the people that you know. Make lists of all of the great things about you. Give compliments wherever you go, praise every person that you see, be a ray of sunshine to all of the people that you meet. Say thank you… But don’t just say it….. Really mean it. Feel the gratitude inside of you. In life, you are your own cheering section.
Keep note of your successes in a success journal.
Success Journal
To achieve your goals and to understand what you are feeling in the moment, write them down in a notebook. Entitle it as you wish, it could be your goals book, your success book, feelings journal, whatever you choose, write down your goals and how you will achieve them. Create a separate page for each of the goals that you have and reflect on it daily. Use pictures, words, phrases, cut outs from magazines, travel brochures, anything that will depict your goal as if you have already achieved it. Carry the most important goal with you so that you are focused on your goal at all times.

The Law of Attraction adds power to both your problem and your solutions…Instead of believing that the word is plotting against you to do you harm, believe that the world is plotting to do you good. Instead of seeing every situation as difficult or challenging and negative, change your perspective and see it as something that can empower, enrich you or advance your cause.
“I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. This he business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves of their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.” Leonardo da Vinci
Are you selective of your time?
If your time could be better spent, what would you do?
Tip
Learn to be still. The average person doesn’t spend even 30 minutes a month in total silence and tranquility. Develop the skill of sitting quietly, enjoying the powerful silence for at least 10 minutes per day. Simply think about what is important to you in your life. Reflect on your mission. Silence is indeed golden. As the Zen master once said, it is the space between the bars that holds the cage.

“The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential…these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.” Confucius
When a negative thought comes to your mind, immediately replace it with one that is positive. Positive always dominates over the negative and your mind has been conditioned to think only the best thoughts. Negative thinking is a conditioned process whereby the negative patterns are established over and over. Rid yourself of any limitations and become a powerful positive thinker.
Tip
Make an effort to be humorous thought the day. Not only is it beneficial from a physical viewpoint but it diffuses tension in difficult circumstances and creates an excellent atmosphere wherever you are. It was recently reported that members of the Tauripan tribe of South America have a ritual where they awake in the middle of the night to tell each other jokes. Even tribesmen in the deepest sleep wake to enjoy the laugh and then return to their state of slumber in seconds.

I’m willing to begin where I am right now to clean the rooms of my mental house. I know it does not matter where I start, as I now begin with the smallest and the easiest of rooms, and in that way I will see the results quickly, I am thrilled to be in the middle of this adventure, for I know I will never go through this particular experience again. I am willing to set myself free. All is well in my world.” Louise Hay – Affirmation – You Can Heal Your Life
Are you an auditory learner? Auditory learners better process information when they listen to it;
Are you a visual learner? Visual learners need to see the information in front of them for it to properly sink in;
Are you a kinesthetic learner? Kinesthetic learners are truly at their best when they are physically involved in the learning process, actually hands on feeling their way through it.
There are many other sub-types of learning styles beside these, and unless you know which suits you best, your progress may be hampered. It does not mean you will have access to the correct style in all situations, but it does not mean you will know why your concentration may be drifting and that you need to make the extra effort to concentrate.

Summary of the Science of Getting Rich – Wallace D. Wattles – 1910
There is a thinking stuff from which all things are made, and which, in its original state, permeates, penetrates, and fills the interspaces of the universe.
A thought in this substance produces the thing that is imagined by the thought.
Man can form things in his thought, and by impressing his thought upon formless substance can cause the thing he thinks about to be created.
In order to do this, man must pass from the competitive to the creative mind; otherwise he cannot be in harmony with the Formless Intelligence, which is always creative and never competitive in spirit.
Man may come into full harmony with the Formless Substance by entertaining a lively and sincere gratitude for the blessings it bestows on him. Gratitude unites the mind of man with the intelligence of Substance, so that man’s thoughts are received by the Formless. Man can remain upon the creative plane only by uniting himself with the Formless Intelligence through a deep and continuous feeling of gratitude.
Man must form a clear and definite mental image of the things he wishes to have, to do, or to become; and he must hold this mental image in his thoughts, while being deeply grateful to the Supreme that all his desires are granted to him. The man who wishes to get rich must spend his leisure hours in contemplating his vision, and in earnest thanksgiving that the reality is being given to him. Too much stress cannot be laid on the importance of frequent contemplation of the mental image, coupled with unwavering faith and devout gratitude. This is the process by which the impression is given to the Formless, and the creative forces set in motion.
The creative energy works through the established channels of natural growth, and of the industrial and social order. All that is included in his mental image will surely be brought to the man who follows the instructions given above, and whose faith does not waiver. What he wants will come to him through the ways of established trade and commerce.
In order to receive his own when it shall come to him, man must be active; And he must do every day, all that can be done that day, taking care to do each act in a successful manner. He must give to every man a use value in excess of cash value he receives, so that each transaction makes more life; and he must so hold the Advancing Thought that the impression of increase will be communicated to all with whom he comes into contact.
The men and women who practice the forgoing instructions will certainly get rich; and the riches they receive will be in exact proportion to the definiteness of their vision, the fixity of their purpose, the steadiness of their faith, and the depth of their gratitude.

Personality traits – You need to know whether you are a natural introvert or extrovert, and whether you are prone to being sensitive or judgmental. Introverts who fail to address their feelings can find they are emotionally hijacked whenever they feel socially exposed.
Religious and political beliefs – You may or may not take an interest in these areas, but you should know exactly where you stand if you do, so you can rationalize your viewpoints if challenged, or keep quiet when discretion seems the better part of valor. Emotions can run deep in both of these subjects, and it may be that managing yourself better means keeping quiet, lest you run the risk of being emotionally hijacked by the ferocity of your views, and alienating all around you.

IAM where I am and it’s OK…
When we go through this life there will be happy and sad times. How you get through them will be up to you based on how well you can handle your emotions and your thoughts. The bad times or negative times are there to teach you. For when negative comes and your emotions feel bad, that is God’s Perfect Sensor telling you that you deserve something better. Listen to your intuition and your emotion. Understand that your tears are there for a reason. Your intuition is the feeling that is a quick burst of energy inside of your chest that arises as an alarm bell for good or bad.
What are your values? This would include your ethics, morals, integrity and scruples. These will underpin your character, and you must be aware if any views you hold are perceived as contentious if you are to avoid conflict. You should also accept that others will not always see your point of view, however “correct” it is, and therefore you should again be prepared to fight your corner with rationale rather than pure emotion, or keep quiet.

Managing yourself better is a more fundamental skill than simply listing your likes and dislikes. As our emotions are subject to fluctuations, even on a daily basis, we need to develop strategies that allow us to always stay in charge of them the best that we can. The main areas to focus on with our emotional intelligence are:
Emotional Awareness: This is our ability to correctly identify core emotions when they appear, including anger, sadness, fear and joy. It is also useful to spot these in other people, especially as there may be attempts to disguise them.
Emotional self-management – This is our ability to control our emotions and express them in an appropriate manner.
Emotional flexibility: This is the ability to recover from stress, loss and shocking events that have damaged your emotional equilibrium. Develop your emotions in decision making, balancing thoughts and feelings.

Are you socially intelligent?
Steps to becoming socially aware:
1. Learn to identify which types of situations make you uncomfortable, and then alter your behavior to make the best of your circumstances. 2. Learn to become aware of behaviors in other people that may cause you to respond negatively. As you are unlikely to be able to change the other person, you must be able to modify your own behavior to turn the situation into a positive experience. 3. Take responsibility for your own behavior and be willing to apologize for errors in judgment or insensitive actions. 4. Ask other for honest feedback about the way you interact with them. Accept the negative feedback along with the positive and make changes accordingly. 5. Be aware of body language. Non-verbal communication is as important as the things you say. Positive body language is a boon in your interactions with other people. 6. Learn to listen with genuine interest. Fight the urge to respond immediately and really listen to what the other person is trying to say. 7. Accept that improving your social skills is not an overnight process. Trying to improve or change too many things at once will be counter- productive as you will feel so uncomfortable that you may suffer emotional hijacking. 8. Maximize your positive personality traits and use them to your advantage when interacting with others.

Tips
Become a highly disciplined time manager. There are roughly 168 hours in a week. This allows plenty of time for achievement of the many goals that we desire to accomplish. Be ruthless with your time. Set aside a few minutes each morning to plan your day. Plan around your priorities and focus not only those tasks which are immediate but not important. (i.e many telephone calls) but especially on those which are important but not urgent, for these allow for the greatest personal and professional development. Important but not immediate activities are those which produce long term, sustainable benefits and include, exercise, strategic planning, the development of relationships and professional education. Never let the things which matter most be placed in the back seat as compared to those that matter the least.
Associate with only positive, focused people who you can learn from and who will not drain your valuable energy with complaining and uninspiring attitudes. By developing relationships with those committed to constant improvement and the pursuit of the best that life has to offer, you will have plenty of company on your path to the top of whatever mountain you seek to climb.

How to manage your relationships?
Managing your relationships must start with managing yourself. You cannot manage the bad traits out of other people very easily, so you must present yourself as positively as you can. In this way, you may find that you good example is reflected by the other person.
Whether in the home or the workplace, relationships have to be managed. This is because relationships cannot be allowed to become stagnant. To work well, they must continually grow and develop. A good working relationship is a dynamic one. This keeps everyone on their toes and performing at their best. This means being proactive, tackling issues head- on, seeking solutions and resolutions, and searching for areas in which improvements can be made.
When people are in well-managed relationships they feel aligned, committed on board and motivated. They know their needs are being considered, their individual ways are being accommodated, and their contributions are acknowledged. People want to know that they are important to an organization, and that their work is important to the goals of the organization.
Communication, as ever is key to building successful relationships, because where there is no discourse, no party can know how anyone else truly feels, not until resentments begin to bubble over and cause problems. Effective communication involves asking questions and listening to answers.
Humor is a great boost to any relationship and this does not have to create a flippant attitude. In fact, flippancy is more likely to develop in the absence of healthy humor. You should also make sure you do not ask for too much from people. You must be reasonable. Making unrealistic demands is only going to breed resentment.
Other people like to feel like they are being treated fairly; that means fairly according to their behavior, and in relation to how you treat others. Consistency is important in creating expectations of fairness that take the kick out of any unpleasant situations you have to manage. If everyone knows they are being treated according to a set of guidelines that apply to everyone, they will be less likely to react emotionally.
Remember to say “please” and “thank you”. It takes not time or effort, but has a significant effect on the quality of a relationship, especially, if the person saying these things does not, strictly speaking, need to because they are in a position of power.

10 Exercises to Strengthen Your Team’s EI
Exercises of any sort carried out in the workplace are fraught with danger. Many people just want to come into work, do their job and go home again, and feel that their emotional output has been kept to a minimum and has not been manipulated in any way.
Exercises to increase emotional intelligence necessarily involve dealing with emotions or emotional issues, and there will without question be individuals who openly resist the idea that this has any place in a work environment, and more who feel this way but are willing to openly voice their feelings for fear of rocking the boat. This latter resentment can be used as a starter exercise.
If you do not feel that emotional intelligence exercises are the way forward, you should very sure that you explain all the possible benefits that can be gained individually, and as a team. Any exercise that remains a mystery is likely to stir up resentment and confusion, and will create more problems than it may solve.
The last thing you want if for any of your team to end up a seething mass of angst because you have created the very internal environment in them that you were meant to dispel.
It follows that there needs to be a certain level of trust in the workplace to start with for emotional intelligence exercises to be effective. The type of team most in need of increased emotional intelligence will probably be the team most likely to resist their implementation.
If you do wish to go ahead with these exercises, here are a few suggestions of the type of exercises you could use:
1. As mentioned, your first exercise could be to ask your team to react honestly to how they feel about being asked to perform such exercises. What you want is their emotional response, and then you can discuss what this reveals of their social responses and their ability to manage their feelings in social situations. 2. Wallet, purse or pocket –guess what is inside. This exercise focuses on helping the participants to explore how they feel by telling stories about the personal possessions they may have with them. This provides the opportunity to elicit feedback on behavioral patterns. 3. Naming feelings – This exercise helps support the participants development of a vocabulary for their feelings, and introduces the idea that feelings can be altered by paying attention to the fact that they exist. Emotional responses to each emotion can be discussed. 4. Watch-words – This can follow on from the last exercise in drawing attention to any words that have been used that might have raised eyebrows. By really understanding the impact of our words we can enjoy better interactions with people. This can provide a framework of acceptable language within the workplace. 5. Assessing trust – This concerns how the group feels about trust in a group situation and individually. Trust, or lack of, is a major factor in emotional intelligence, and
132 | P a g e a b c - i q . c o m
Shelley D. Chuchmuch Mind Science
you can discuss why some people trust whilst others don’t. 6. Observation – Some way into the exercises, you can ask what exactly the participants think they have been doing for the past five minutes. The obvious answer is “joining in”, but what you are after is the true extent of their participation; what sort of body language and facial expressions they believe that have been demonstrating that could have caused a positive or negative effect within the group. This improves both self-awareness and awareness of how non-verbal communication happens all the time and how we must monitor ourselves. 7. Non-verbal gossip – Following on from the previous exercise, this is about using purely body language and facial expression to spread a rumor around the group. No words can be used. This will demonstrate how easily emotions can be read if we are not aware how they manifest themselves. 8. Goal setting – This is an exercise designed to inspire positive thoughts for the future, and should involve the positive use of emotions to underpin your plans. Participants are asked to discuss their goals and how they might be achieved. There should also be an awareness created of how change must begin internally before it appears in the outside world. 9. Problem solving – This involves discussing several commonly – experienced work place problems and how they might be tackled. This could involve role – play that demonstrates the wrong way to deal with the situation first, before reassessing and attempting a new approach based on a more intelligent use of emotions. 10. Reversing negativity- This exercise deals with the instant emotional reactions we can experience towards certain individuals, and how we can use our emotional intelligence to put a more positive spin on “annoying” character traits. For example, if we usually regard an individual as being stubborn, we might change our interpretation to one more positive, such as viewing their behavior as “committed”. We may also realize by doing this that we share the exact same characteristics, but we just label ours in a positive way.

Today as I go through my day I give thanks for all the good and bad things that happened. I am responsible for my success because of my attitude and I can cope with any situation that comes my way.
There is an often quoted prayer called the Serenity Prayer – “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
It does not matter if you are religious, the wisdom inherent in this saying is undeniable. In fact, it could easily be adopted as the emotional intelligence motto. It covers all the important factors for improving emotional intelligence; self - awareness, self-management, social awareness, and relationship management.
“The serenity to accept the things I cannot change” – unless we are able to gracefully accept that there is a limit to how much change we can effect, especially in other people, our emotions will be run ragged by our frustrations and petty annoyances. Emotional hijacking is the obvious net result of an inability to accept certain immutable facts.
“The courage to change the things I can”- We must grasp the nettle and take action where change is possible. This may not always be easy, especially when it relates to our own emotional short comings that may seem set in stone after too many years, but accepting unsatisfactory situations is undoubtedly an emotional failing. Learning to rationalize and control our emotions can help us formulate a plan of attack that can lead to positive change.
“The wisdom to know the difference”- This is the key. Emotional intelligence must be fed by our thinking intelligence. Our emotional brain has to receive and accept the guidance of our rational mind to ensure that the decisions we make and the reactions we have are correct for the given circumstances.

If you are faced with a situation that you do not understand and emotions like stress or anger come, ask the reason for the thoughts that you are thinking.

Tip
No one can insult or hurt you without your permission. One of the golden keys to happiness and great success is the way that you interpret events which unfold before you. Highly successful people are master interpreters. People who have attained greatness have an ability which they have developed to interpret negative or disempowering events as positive challenges which will assist them in growing and moving farther up the ladder of success. There are no negate experiences only experiences which aid in your development and toughen your character so that you may soar to new heights. There are no failures, only lessons.

Removing Fear
Fear is a series of psychological and chemical responses to real or perceived danger. If we did not have this ability to sense and react immediately to danger, we would not survive. When one of our senses, be it sight, smell, hearing, or taste warns us that something is wrong, this system of self-preservation engages and we take action to avoid danger or death.
Fear (“False Evidence Appearing Real” Susan Jeffers) begins with a stimulus that is transmitted to the brain. How we respond to these warnings can be automatic or a series of communications that lead to action or thought. You may walk down a dark street and hear footsteps behind you. Your internal alarm goes off. Your heart rate increases as well as your respiratory rate. Muscles tense up and you start to sweat, the palms of your hands feel wet and clammy.
Tips for removing fear
1. Relax – Incorporate meditation into your day.
2. Use visualization to imagine your outcome
3. Take small steps – convince your subconscious that you are not afraid of whatever is holding you back.
4. Do what you are afraid of
5. Build your self-esteem – celebrate your successes.

I can do anything that my heart desires.
I recognize my capacity for insight. “Insight is mental penetration –the power or act of seeing into a situation or into one self; the act or fact of apprehending the inner nature of things or of seeing intuitively; clear and immediate thinking.” Webster’s Dictionary
Tip
Take a speed reading course. Reading is a powerful way to gain many years of experience from a few hours of study. For example, most biographies reflect the strategies and philosophies of great leaders of courageous individuals. Read them and model them. Speed reading will allow you to digest large quantities of material in relatively small amounts of time. The key is however, to apply what you have learned.
Reflect on a time when you used your insight.

A study was once done with 2 live plants. One was put into an environment with clean water, air, sunlight and was constantly given positive encouragement and complements, the other was put into dirty water, was constantly spoken negative to and was exposed to a negative environment. Which plant was the one to thrive?
Choose your environment carefully. It can expel or propel you, inspire you or perspire you! You are a product of your environment.
Today is the ultimate gift. “No MAN IS AN ISLAND” John Donne. “Friendship is as important as life itself.” Friendship covers old and young, poor and rich. If impacts all of our societies.
Remember people’s names and treat everyone well. This habit, along with enthusiasm, is one of the greatest success secrets. Everyone in this world ears an imaginary button that screams out, “I WANT TO FEEL APPRECIATED”.
Reflect on your closest friendships. What is so special about them?

I am so grateful that the universe will thrill me with magnificent surprises today. I have faith in my abilities and I have faith in myself. “Thy faith hath made thee whole.” Holy Bible, Luke the17:19
If you do not have faith in your own abilities, who will have faith in you? You must be your own cheering section. Surround yourself with all that inspires your to move forward. Go where the inspiration is. The most successful people in the world have goals, they carry with them. They are able to recite their goals, and by when they will achieve them.
You choose your experience.
Just be you…Say what you mean…and mean what you say….

Feel good…just because you want to.
I do not let my life experience be controlled by the behavior of others. What I think, feel and believe, hope and wish for depends on the decision that I have made. No one else but me can produce my thoughts and my feelings regarding any situation. I control that experience both positive and negative. I have the power within me to make a conscious decision to be happy.
What does it mean to make a conscious choice?

You must have a desire to achieve.
“Responsibility for humanity – both as a collection of unique individual and as a collective whole - is shared. Each one of us is responsible for our own personal growth, for nurturing our own development, but we are all responsible for encouraging the development of those around us, and ultimately for humanity as a whole.” Erik Blumenthal
“It should only be talked about if the talking will make you feel better. It is of no value, ever, to activate and talk about something that does not feel good, because it reactivates it in your vibration; it makes it another point of attraction so you’re less clear.” Abraham- Hicks

Stand until you succeed. I do not blame others for my failures. I am as responsible for my failures as I am for my success. My teachers, parents and family support me with the tools for life but it is my responsibility for how I use them.
As you age you tend to not use your brain as much and this can lead to you feeling as though you are losing your memory, or that you just can't concentrate anymore. The truth is that these things can be resolved by keeping your brain active.
Brain training games are extremely popular today and there is no shortage of websites that offer some type of brain training game or other. These games focus on specific areas of your brain. For example you may have trouble remembering number sequences or people's names. By playing specific games these issues can be improved.
The benefits of playing brain games includes helping to improve your memory, your attention span and your focus. The games are designed to work in different ways.
For example if you have trouble with people's names and faces you are helped by learning how to associate names with characteristics instead. For example if your Uncle Charlie smokes a pipe you connect a picture of a pipe in your head with his name. If you have trouble spelling you can learn how to sound out the name differently in order to remember it.

”You can’t hire someone else to do your push-ups for you.” Jim Rohn. You must do them yourself if you want to achieve your goals.

I AM created in the likeness of GOD. I came to this earth to experience a wonderful life. The law of attraction brings to me every situation wanted and unwanted. I have the power within me to create my life on purpose. To achieve your objectives, “believe and act as if it were impossible to fail.” Charles F. Kettering (Inventor with over 140 patents and honorary doctorate from nearly 30 universities)
“When we are frequently unwilling to think differently, to abandon our customary decision making systems; because we have too little faith in ourselves and our ability to think, we are afraid to take on board anything new, deeming it better to cling to our old ways of thinking, since what we know well gives us a feeling of security. That new ideas may threaten us, but we should seize them as new opportunities, as possible new tools to help us along your path and personal development. New tools are a gateway to a new life.” Erik Blumenthal

You can’t move forward to the future if you are focused on the past… You are not confined to your current circumstance…If you are stuck in the same place, you will need to think different thoughts. Turn your life around by being grateful for what you have.
My success depends on my attitude; I take responsibility for the course of my life rather than rely on others. I can change my attitude to reflect positively for the purpose that I seek to achieve. You must dress like, act like and feel like the person who has already achieved their goal.
State what you believe about your ability for achievement. What currently influences your thought and surroundings defining your parameters for achievement and life success?

When you know what you don’t want. It brings you so much closer to knowing what you do want, that is the absolute value of negative emotion. Your negative emotion is your GPS for God’s Perfect Sensor telling you something better is warranted for you. “The source of all creation is pure consciousness, peer potentiality seeking expression from the un- manifest to the manifest. And when we realize that our true self is one of pure potentiality, we align with the power that manifests everything in the universe.” Deepak Chopra
Utilize the process of “mind mapping”, a process made famous by Tony Buzan, or a graphic organizer to help connect your resources together. This will help you in moving from point A to B. If you find that you are limited in your choices for solutions to help you achieve your goals, seek out the support of more experienced people. Discuss your goals with them and perhaps they will bring you fresh insight.

You are never defeated when problems arise. Try finding the opportunities. You will have to change your thinking or you will have to create new opportunities to find the solution. The solution will always feel different to you than what the problem feels like. When you find the solutions that you are looking for, your GPS or God’s Perfect Sensor will let you know when it is right to move for you will find relief in the intensity of your strong emotions when you seek the solution.

I practice habitual positive thinking and I learn from my mistakes.
AS WORDS DO NOT TEACH AND LIFE EXPERIENCE DOES, mistakes are how you learn. Do not be afraid to make them. “The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything.” Edward John Phelps. Do not let yourself get discouraged if you find that you are making mistakes. Mistakes help us to learn what it is that we need to know. You are human and through life, mistakes will be made. The problem will come if you make the mistake over and over and over and over and over again. Learn from the past to create a better future.
Tip
Learn the power of breathing and its relationship to your source energy. The mind is intimately connected with your breathing. For example, when the mind is agitated, your breathing becomes quick and shallow. When you are relaxed and focused, your breathing is deep and calm. By practicing deep, abdominal breathing, you will develop a calm, serene demeanor that will remain cool in the hottest of circumstances. Remember the rule of the Eastern mountain men: “to breathe properly is to live properly”.

Do not let unknown circumstances paralyze you with fear. If the fight or flight feeling arises in your chest, listen to it as it is a warning sign, however, it is telling you to slow down, assess the situation calmly and then act.
“If you are bored with life, if you don’t get up every morning with a burning desire to do things – you don’t have enough goals.” Lou Holtz
Tip
Recognize and cultivate the power of autosuggestion. It works and is an essential tool in maintaining peak performance. We are all performers in one way or another and it is particularly valuable to use such techniques of athletes and public figures for our own enhancement. If you want to become more enthusiastic, repeat “I am more enthusiastic today and am improving this trait daily”. Repeat it over and over. Purchase a notepad and write out this mantra 500 times. Do it for three weeks with regular practice and feel that this quality is developing. Very soon it will come. This is a strategy that Indian sages have employed for thousands of years to aid their spiritual and mental development. Do not be discouraged if the results are not immediate, they will certainly develop. The spoken word is a powerful influencer in the mind. Writing out only your successes. Do not write about your failures as you will continue to attract more failure!

Desire is your map to achieving your objective. To achieve your goal, you are going to have to become a bigger person. You are going to have to develop new skills, new capabilities and a new attitude. You are going to have to make the commitment to stretch yourself and in that process, you will develop new food for your mind. Once you learn something through the process of doing, you can never unlearn it. You can lose material things but you can never lose the mastery of a skill. Knowledge is something that can never be taken away from you.

Creatively visualize… See yourself as you will be when you have already achieved your objective. Can you feel the feeling of success inside of you? Do not let struggle become your identity. “The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

If you are having trouble achieving your goals, seek out support. Seek out the support of a teacher, coach, manual, book or audio program. Resources are always available for you to seek the support that you need. You have to be motivated and understand where it is that you need support. Your journey as compared on the emotional scale and knowing your emotional range positively or negatively will help you to determine of you are on the right track or not. When you get clear about your heart’s desire, the universe steps up in magnificent ways to support you.

Do not let anyone put you down for having a dream… You create your life experience… Does it really matter what others think? Most people tend to hold negative images in their minds about the potential of what could go wrong. Rather than focus on what could go right, they constantly worry about what can go wrong. If you keep focusing on the negative, what do you think you will get? Be aware of the pitfalls, but don’t focus all of your attention there.
“There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. That little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.” Robert Collier
Tip
Be as soft as a flower when it comes to kindness but tough as thunder when it comes to principle. Be courteous and polite at all times but never be pushed around. Ensure that you are always treated with respect. Never discuss your health, wealth and other personal matters with anyone outside of your immediate family. Be disciplined in this regard.

Day 124
Do not think of loss…Think about how you can turn the problem into opportunity. Think about how you can use your will power to engine your success. If you are embarking on a goal that might be different from all of those around you, you will have to re-program your own beliefs about your self – image. This will be difficult at first; however, it is necessary to leave your comfort zone to undertake new experience. Find the source of your limiting beliefs and change your perception.
Tip
Stress is simply a response which you create in the interpretation of an event. Two people might find that a given event results in quite different responses. For example, an after dinner speech might strike fear while a strong speaker views this as opportunity to share thoughts. Understanding that the perceived negative effects of an event or task may be mentally manipulated and conditioned towards the positive will allow you to be a peak performer in all instances.

“A leader is best when people barely know he exits, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves”. Lao Tzu
When you come upon a situation that has not turned out the way that you wanted….remember…that is the universe telling you…something better is coming….your discord comes when you try to control the outcome of how your goal will be achieved. Change your perspective…Your discord comes by inability to accept the situation. Change your direction of thought.
Understanding the psychology of stress is imperative for a successful future. Stress is the root cause of our sickness. Our body manifests sickness stemming from stress to let us know that your body system is off balance.
No matter how hard life can get, go to bed grateful that you still have one.

Affirmations – Reminders…are you affirming daily?
Research projects support the need for affirmations and positive thoughts to better support leadership abilities. Leadership affirmations are utilized for better self-awareness, tension relief, innovation, productivity, health, love, wealth and the list continues.
Affirmations are a valuable tool to help alter the beliefs, images and thought processes that you have inside you that might be holding you back from accomplishing / altering / doing what you wish with your life.
Your self-talk is an all day long affirmation. You have to realize thought that might not be the most good for you. “No, I’m not good at..? or No, I might never do”. These are both affirmations but affirmations stop you from getting what you want. You wish to design and utilize affirmations that support you in your personal growth.
Practice of positive affirmations and visualization on a steady, witting basis will help your success. Persistence accomplishes results much earlier than practicing sporadically; practicing your affirmations each day has a better effect. Affirmations by themselves however, do not guarantee success, you likewise have to take action.
Guidelines for Creating Affirmations
Be certain about the true problem
A lot of times individuals prepare affirmations around the symptom of their issue, instead of going to the true cause. If you affirm a symptom, instead of the true cause of your issue, you might well discover that you accomplish results in the short term, however long term results are not going to happen. Ask yourself what is the true problem?
Affirm in the here and now
Affirmations are better if stated in the here and now. For instance; “I now have a fantastic job” is a here and now affirmation. “I’m going to have a fantastic job” is affirming something in the future, even though it is only a subtle shift in the verbiage of words, your subconscious mind, like an iPod, only plays when you really place there. Write it out as though you’ve already accomplished it.
It’s all together about you
Your affirmation has to be about you. So it will always include either the word “I” or “me” in it. You can’t make affirmations for others. For instance you couldn’t affirm: “My team members are open and honest with one another”. This affirmation will never alter their actions. All the same, if you were to state, “I am open and honest with my team members as a role model to my team”, then you might well discover that your personal change will, curiously enough, have a favorable effect on might lead to shifts in those around you.
169 | P a g e a b c - i q . c o m
Shelley D. Chuchmuch Mind Science
You might do well not to share your affirmations with others, especially if they’re likely to put down your efforts or poke fun at you when you don’t get right what it is that you are affirming.
Engage your emotions
The emotion fuels the power to produce the result. I.E if it doesn’t get you charged up; it isn’t a powerful affirmation. So, become involved; be passionate; utilize your emotions! Use phrases like: I’m delighted, I’m so charged up, it is simple for me, etc. Bring your spirit and power into the affirmation. The stronger the feeling an affirmation brings, the deeper the impression it makes on your brain and the sooner you experience favorable results.
Be convinced
Make affirmations in favorable terms while preventing negative statements. Affirm what you wish, instead of what you do not wish. For instance: I’m never sad or depressed. “What pictures does this damaging statement instantly bring to your mind? Instead affirm, “I have a favorable and optimistic outlook on life”. This statement is much more potent as it’s favorable and reinforces your sought after goal.
The words that you utilize to trigger in your brain emotions and feelings, you wish these to be favorable and uplifting. The fastest and simplest way to ensure that you compose your affirmation in the positive is to identify what it is that you don’t wish and then ask yourself the question: “What is it that I do wish?” Compose your affirmation from the answer you receive to this question.
Be brief and particular
Brief affirmations are simple to say, and have a far greater affect at a subconscious level than those that are long and long winded. Keeping them specific and to the point adds energy as the idea is uncluttered by external elements. If need be, have 2 or 3 affirmations around the one topic.
Be precise
When it is suitable you have to put in numbers. E.G exact weight that you wish to be, or the precise sum of money you are going to earn or save. Or even the individuals that you see yourself being with. ‘I am positive and self-assured whenever I’m with John”.
Visualize vividly
Now that you understand more about your affirmation the next step to manifesting what it is you wish is the procedure of vividly visualizing yourself as though you have already obtained your goal.

“Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self - seeking, it is not easily angered, and it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. Love never fails.” Holy Bible, I Corinthians 13:3-6

You are never stuck in your current experience. You are re-creating your experience by thinking the same thoughts over and over again, maintaining the same beliefs, speaking the same words and doing the same things. The limiting thoughts create images in our mind and those images govern our behavior and continue to reinforce our limitations. You get what you think about…wanted and unwanted. “Where there is no vision, the people perish.” Proverbs 29:18
“God did not create evil. Just as darkness is the absence of light, evil is the absence of God.” Albert Einstein

There are no limitations to your mind except those self-imposed limitations that you put there. As long as you keep on complaining about your present circumstances…you will continually get…the same circumstances….
“In the infinity of life where I am, all is perfect, whole and complete. I no longer choose to believe in old limitations and lacks. I now choose to begin to see myself as the universe sees me - perfect, whole and complete. The truth of my being is that I was created perfect, whole and complete. I now choose to live my life for misunderstanding. I am in the right place at the right time, doing the right thing. All is well in my world”. Louise Hay – Affirmation – You Can Heal Your Life
Tip
Leadership success – become a committed audio training. Most personal mastery programs and books are now offered in this format. Listen to these inspirational materials on your way to work, whilst waiting in the line at the bank or while you wash dishes in the evening. Make your car a college on wheels and use the drive time to make knowledge your best friend. All down time can be used very effectively. Use such opportunities to learn and continually expand your mind and its vast potential.

Have faith in yourself and your abilities… no one else creates your life… You create every bit of your life…both good and bad. You must inflict yourself with thoughts and images of a new reality that is positive if what you are attracting is negative. The universe delivers what you need at the exact time that you need it. Your discord comes when you try to control the circumstances or the people around you. Most people are familiar with their comfort zones. The kind of restaurants they eat in, the hotels they stay in, the kind of car they drive, the houses that you live in, the clothes you wear and the types of people that you associate. To feel change, you must be change.
“My message, especially to young people is to have courage to think differently, courage to invent, to travel the unexplored path, courage to discover the impossible and to conquer the problems and succeed.” A.P.J Abdul Kalam
Tip
Try fasting one day every two weeks. During these fast days, drink fruit juice and eat fresh fruits only. You will feel more energetic, cleansed and alert. Fasting also has a salutary effect on your will- power as you are subverting the otherwise pressing impulses in your mind calling you to eat more.

Changing self- talk is a conscious choice. Jim Carrey, a famous Canadian Actor changed his inner self talk through affirmations and changing his perception of self. “I’ve always believed in magic. When I wasn’t doing anything in this town, I’d go up every night, sit on Mulholland Drive, look out at the city, stretch out my arms, and say, everybody wants to work with me. I am a really good actor. I have all kinds of great movie offers. I’d just repeat things over and over again, literally convincing myself that I had a couple of movies lined up. I’d drive down that hill, ready to take the world on, going – movie offers are out there for me, I just don’t hear them yet.” “I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success...such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything.” Nikola Tesla
Tip
Listen to soft and soothing music throughout the day. Place pleasant scents and inspirational pictures in your workplace. By the magic of association, your work will become something you enjoy even more and arouse a very pleasant feeling within you. Budget your time on trips so that you can spend a half an hour in the book store. They always contain the latest self-mastery books and tapes.

You are what you are because of the thoughts that you are thinking! Create your own affirmations by visualizing your goal. Use describing words of your senses. See things exactly as you would like them to be. Place yourself inside the picture and see things with your eyes. If you want a new car, see the world from inside the car as you are driving it. Hear the sounds that you would be hearing if you had already achieved your vision. Feel the feeling in your chest when you have created what you want. Describe what you are experiencing in a brief statement. Use your affirmations daily, at the beginning, middle and end of your day. “Your intellect may be confused, but your emotions will never lie to you.” Roger Ebert
Many years ago, stones set beside the road marked the distance between townships. These stones were called milestones and were indicators of a traveler’s progress. Later on that meaning changed to mean a significant point in any journey or development. What are some of the significant points along the path of where you are now to where you hope to be? Write them and reflect on your journey.

Tips for Business Success
Those who are successful in most of their endeavors see the world in terms of problems and solutions. That is, as soon as they hit a bump in the road, they go into problem solving mode, rather than going into problem-solving avoidance mode or panicking.
Delegate tasks to others – if you ever want to match the success of some of your heroes, you will need to learn how to delegate tasks to others. Often, the most important trait that makes people successful is that they are willing and able to break down a large task; and efficiently and intelligently allocate jobs to employees.
Correct your weaknesses – another important trait of the successful is their ability to correct weaknesses. If they recognize that they are weak in decision making, then they will make an effort to become decisive, rather than wallowing in self-loathing or anger about their problem.
Be humble and honest – Humility and honesty, speak truth and be humble.

What are stress resolutions and influences of stress?
There is no exact measure or definition of stress bust it is generally defined as the physical and normal response of body to things that makes them feel worried and bothered. Stress affects individuals differently the same way in which individuals view stress in different ways.
Though stress can happen inevitably, many individuals still desire not to allow stress rule their entire system. It is for this reason that individuals make stress resolution to finally get over this unwanted feeling.
Before individuals make resolutions they tend to look back over the previous years and determine how things went wrong. Stress resolutions are made by individuals who no longer want to be tied with this bothering feeling. When one makes resolution, they begin to envision a new year where things fall into place. Embracing these resolutions is synonymous to making commitments and doing the very best to succeed. If you are looking forward to a different and stress free year, stress resolutions can serve as your guide and inspiration.
These resolutions also help you in living a happier and healthier life. It is true that making changes in life requires effort and dedication and starting this journey to change by making resolutions are a brilliant step to take. No one ever desires to live a life full of chaos and stress therefore making stress resolutions are a brilliant step to take.
Individuals aspiring for big change in their life must be familiar with the stress resolution basics. The first step to take is planning and taking down notes on paper. Many individuals remain stressed because they failed to make a list and to try things at the same time.
Create resolutions and write these down and determine the best ways to fulfill all your goals. You are also tasked to make periodic assessments to determine where your resolutions are taking you. If you are living a stressful life, the first resolution should be identifying where majorities of stress are coming from and the rest will follow.
Understand What Stresses You
Stress may affect individuals in many ways and these may pose effect on their personal and professional life. Regardless of the things or event that stresses you, it is more important to have the willingness and determination to overcome them. It is essential to understand what stresses you because it is only then that you will be able to move forward and avoid these stressful things or events completely. The following might be one of the causes impacting your stress level.
Work
Heavy workloads are just one of the many things that cause individual’s stress. Work
195 | P a g e a b c - i q . c o m
Shelley D. Chuchmuch Mind Science stress and pressures are common these days and experienced by many employees and working professionals. Doing tons of work on a longer period of time, meeting deadlines and many other work related issues can trigger stress.
Work can cause stress if you are already unhappy with it or you are given heavy workloads and too much responsibility. Other factors that can cause stress in work are poor management, unclear work expectations, lack of right involvement in making decisions and more. Working under pressure and complicated conditions and experiencing discrimination also trigger stress.
Money Matters
Financial issues are what stresses many people and these are among the many factors that can cause many headaches if not properly addressed. In some instances, individuals are left in a stressful and hopeless situation because they are left with no means in a time when they are in desperate need of money. In other cases, limited budget is also what causes stress. There might be a source of income, but the amount of money earned may not be enough to cover growing needs.
Family Problems
Problems and conflicts within the family are also what causes stress. Living in one roof where harmony and strong family ties no longer prevail can really be stressful and devastating. Having arguments with parents and siblings does not just stress you out but also affects you emotionally. Family problems can also interfere with your normal and usual function at home or in the workplace.
Complicated Relationships
One of the most common things that trigger stress is complicated relationships. Unfaithful partner and many other relationship issues tend to break couples apart and these lead to never ending stress. Other factors may be: A loved one’s death, heavy financial obligations, divorce, and marriage, lack of job, relocation, injury or chronic illness. Other emotional problems such as anger, grief, depression, low self-confidence and guilt may also be factors.
Understand who stresses you. There are individuals that cause you stress and can give you a really terrible headache. Living with people who are also full of stress can also impact you. It is essential to know destructive people who stress you as much as possible. Let them go. The following individuals cause stress:
Viral people – they are termed as such because they seem to appear like a bad flu. These people who always cause discord in your life. Viral people are those who cannot manage to be happy unless there are things and events to hate. These types of individuals can really be stressing. After visiting or hanging out with them, you certainly feel drained as if you are having a terrible cold.
196 | P a g e a b c - i q . c o m
Shelley D. Chuchmuch Mind Science
Attention Seekers
Individuals who are always messing around and destructing your routines can also cause stress. These are the types of people who wanted the world to revolve around them as much as possible. What can really be stressing and bothering is when they tend to demand all of your time and attention and get mad when you fail to give them what they want.
Victim Players
Victim players are those who put the blame on themselves when something wrong happens in life. Some individuals might view life’s ups and downs as normal events but for victim players see dark phases of their life as the end of the world. Hanging out with these types of people can cause stress and bring life with negative vibes.
As much as possible, get rid of these individuals for they will just interfere with your normal and happy life.
Mental Abusers and Bullies
Bullies are not just dominating during your childhood years because even during adulthood you can still encounter bullies and mental abusers. These types of people are anywhere to be found. They may be present in the neighborhood, at school or in the workplace. Mingling with these individuals can cause you stress and other side effects. Aside from being stressed out, bullies and mental abusers are the reasons while others are living in fear. Mental abusers can be your ex - wife or husband, significant other or your parents.
The key to overcome the worst scenarios caused by stress is to get into the acceptance mindset. When you are up to something, you have to accept that there are really things that are not meant for you.
The more that you insist, the more things get complicated. What matters is you do your best to achieve results. Simple as they maybe, they are considered to be the fruits of your hard work and perseverance.
Do not get stressed out when you failed to achieve the peak for you. You are always given chances to grow and be a better person. Accept that things did not go the way that you had intended, for it always means, something better is on the way.
Cultivating the proper mindset is an essential part of your stress management. Achieving your goals and desires for a stress free and happy life takes plenty of effort, determination and ideal mindset.

Tip
Aromas have been proven to be an effective means of entering into a state of relaxation. Scents have a very noticeable effect on your mindset and moods.

Tip
Cultivate the art of walking half an hour after you have finished eating your evening meal. Walks in natural settings are the very best. Walking, is perhaps, nature’s ideal exercise and when you walk you do not think about work or about the bills or about the challenges that you might be facing. This will neutralize many of the benefits. Simply enjoy the walk. Notice the richness of your surroundings. Let your senses drink in the beauty of nature and the crispness of the air for a change. So many people who have mastered the art of growing younger have also mastered the habit of a daily walk.

Are you a self-starter?
It’s undeniable that money plays a crucial role in our lives; however what precisely is that role? Is money an adverse distraction, or helps us to live more consciously? Is it better to give or to get? Is poverty more enlightened than welathiness? Even among the highly conscious people, money may be a contentious, polarizing subject. Social training overcharges people with so many contradictory views on the subject that it’s no wonder individuals are baffled. Disarray about money cause us to compartmentalize the fiscal parts of our lives. Cash becomes a thing unto itself with its own rules and conventions. We literally treat it as something that has to be roped off and locked in a vault, detached from other parts of our lives. Wealth is a mindset!

“In the infinity of life where I am, all is perfect, whole and complete. I now choose to calmly and objectively see my old patterns, and I am willing to make changes. I am teachable. I can learn, I am willing to change. I choose to have fun doing this. I choose to react as though I have found a treasure when I discover there is something else to release. I see and feel myself changing moment by moment. Thoughts no longer have power over me. I am the power in my world. I choose to be free. All is well in my world.” Louise Hay – Affirmation – You Can Heal Your Life
In life, winning is not the years of earning but rather how you adapted to the circumstances that made you a winner. The strongest and smartest does not necessarily imply that they are the ones to last. Should you encounter various challenges, the only thing that can bog you down is the inability to accept change. Life is full of changes that we need to embrace. It is those that fail to accept change that get left behind in the race of life.
How adaptable are you to change? Do you embrace it or do you fight against it? Do you like things to stay as they are or do you thrive on seeking new challenges?

All people have beautiful souls. Look beyond the obvious and get to know the person. People choose to express themselves in a variety of ways using means other than words.

Effective time management makes you more than less flexible. It allows you to do the things that you really want to do rather than the things that you have to do. Become an adventurer.

Money is not the root of all evil or the key to happiness…what kind of lifestyle to you want? Write it out…visualize the life that you want while you are writing…..Feel like you already have it….write it out in the present tense…..
Wealth is a mindset….and it does not necessarily mean money….what does it mean to be wealthy.
Do not make the mistake of compromising people for money….

What is your dream? Define it…like you define yourself…..free yourself from judgment of others….liberate yourself by taking power of your life…it is within you…
“If you live long enough, you’ll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you’ll be a better person. It’s how you handle adversity, not how it affects you. The main thing is never quit, never quit, never quit.” William J. Clinton
Never complain. Be known as a positive, strong, energetic and enthusiastic person. Someone who complains, is cynical and always looking for the negative in everything, will scare people away and rarely will succeed at anything. From a purely psychological viewpoint, things are always created twice: once in the mind and then in reality. Focus on the positive. Be so mentally tough that nothing takes you off your planned course to success. Visualize and firmly believe in what you want. It will most certainly come true.

Our universe is energy, from the sun in the sky to the soil beneath our feet. We are all made up of energy.

I am where I am and it is ok….it matters not what others think of me, all that matters is what I think about myself…when you focus with someone on a problem and continually discuss it, you are not helping your situation because you both are adding to the energy of the problem. It is ok to discuss the problem but discuss it to seek the solution and move on.
Overlook the weaknesses of your friends. If you look for flaws you will most surely find them. Be mature enough to ignore the petty fallings of each other and see the good that each one inherently possesses. We can learn from everyone. Everyone has a story to tell, a joke to share and a lesson to learn. Open your mind to this and you will learn a tremendous amount. Friends are so very important to a happy existence – especially those who have shared many experiences and laughs with you. Work hard to make friendships and all of your relationships for that matter stronger and richer. Call your friends, buy them small gifts of books or other items you believe they might enjoy. The “law of the farm” applies to relationships as well as to the rest of your life. You reap what you sow and to have great friends you must be one.

The law of attraction brings into our lives the thoughts that we are thinking and the paired feeling that we are feeling…this applies to all aspects of our lives….what is the state of your health? It is not selfish to love yourself, take care of yourself and to make happiness a priority. It is necessary.
Be kind, considerate and courteous. But also be shrewd and know when to be tough and courageous. This is the mark of a well-defined character and you will surely command respect. It is most useful to read books on friendliness and enhancing relationships by being a good listener, showing others sincere appreciation and refining other interpersonal skills. But to truly succeed, one must also recognize that worldly wisdom and shrewdness are essential skills to foster. Become an expert in human psychology and be able to read the essence of people. Never be taken advantage of and be aware of the politics around you. Stay above petty gossiping and office politics but appreciate that they indeed exist and know what goes on behind your back. Every great leader does.
Is keeping in shape important to you?

What is the state of your relationships?
“Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life; define yourself.” Harvey Fierstein
Do you know where you stand in all of your relationships? What do you value in a life partner? Create your image as a highly competent, strong, disciplined, calm and decent individual. Find that crucial balance between working on the image that you project to the rest of the world and your inner character. Create a sense of mystery about yourself as the truly wise never show their hand. Do not tell everyone everything about yourself, your strategies and your aspirations. The successful citizens of this world think thrice before they speak because a word uttered can never be retrieved. Make things look easy and people will say you are naturally gifted. Speak only good things and people will flock to you. Never speak ill of others and all will know you will not malign them behind their backs, build your character and live a highly principled life.

What is the state of your body? If you keep telling yourself that I put on weight when I see food…what do you think will happen? Write out the story of perfect health and the perfect body for you…
In metaphysics we are told that there is an “emotional body” which is part of our energy system and responds to events, words, thoughts and even to the presence of another person. The balancing and cleansing of the emotional body will then have a healing effect on the mind and physical body, giving an overall holistic healing effect. The emotional centers in the body or energy system are governed by the heart and stomach chakras. Some healers believe that the main cause of disease is rooted in the emotions and that unhealed or blocked emotions can eventually lead to discord in the physical body.

Tapping Into Your Authentic Power – Paul McKenna
Stop for a moment and really take time to vividly imagine how your life be if you were more at ease with yourself than you are now.
How would your posture be?
Shift your body so you’re sitting like that now. Sit the way ou would be sitting if you were feeling completely confident and congruent. Feel the feeling of confidence, strength and east behind your eyes.
How would your voice sound? What kind of thoughts would you have about yourself and what you can achieve? What kind of things would you say to yourself?

“A human being is a part of the whole, called by us, “universe” a pat limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest – a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting to us our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security.” Albert Einstein
Learn to organize your time. It is incorrect to say that by becoming a meticulous time manager and living carefully by a defined schedule you become rigid and nonspontaneous. Rather, proper organization allows one to accomplish these goals which are truly important as well as enjoy leisure time. Good time management offers more time for fun and relaxation – not less. These important periods are scheduled into the week just like other commitments which may appear more pressing. Neither are sacrificed. Also, discipline yourself and stop wasting time on all those immediate and pressing but unimportant tasks and concentrate on the activities that are truly meaningful to your life’s mission. Such activities include time for self-renewal and reflection, time forging relationships built on trust and mutual respect, time for physical fitness, time to read and think deeply and time serving others in your community.

Keep well informed about current events, the latest books and popular trends. Many peak performers read five or six papers per day. You don’t have to read every story of every newspaper or magazine, just know what to focus on, what to pass by and what to clip out and read at another time. (Many successful people scan scores of magazines and paper clippings out of articles of interest; these articles go into a file folder which can be read in your down time). Knowledge is power. Whether you are an entrepreneur, a corporate leader or someone leading a family, you can profoundly change your life and the lives of others with a single idea. Just ask Gates, Edison and Bell.

“How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because some day in your life you will have been all of these.” George Washington Carver
When choosing your life partner, remember that this is the most important decision of your lifetime. The marriage relationship offers 90% of all your support, happiness and fulfillment so choose it wisely. Consider qualities such as affection, sense of humor, intelligence, integrity, maturity, temperament, compatibility and that indescribable characteristic of chemistry. If these are present, your relationship stands and excellent chance of great success. Move slowly and let no one press you into an uncomfortable situation.

Whatever I want…I can acquire…when you are feeling really great…think about what truly matters and what you want to create in your life…when you are feeling bad…don’t focus your attention on the things that really matter to you…for you will attract to you the experience both positive and negative…when you feel bad…think about general things, not things that matter to you. When you feel bad…take your attention away from what is making you feel bad…watch a movie…go for a walk…pet your cat….walk your dog….wait until you are feeling better to make decisions or solutions to things that are important to you……
Tip
Never discuss your personal development activities with anyone other than your trusted support circle or master mind group. Your strategies for expanding your mind and spirit are your own. Others might not understand the value of personal mastery and further, will take away your credit when you meet with success by saying that you relied on techniques, keep these self - development activities to yourself.

Money is not the root of all evil or of happiness. “The world has always needed men and women who can get things done, for people who are self – starters, who see a task thought to its finish. It isn’t how much you know about something, but by what you get done that the world remembers. The biggest downfall to success is not a lack of brains, character or willingness; it is the inability to get things done. Constructive planning is essential toward achievement of your goal. Plan an activity – brainstorm the potential for the success of your plan. Focus on how your activity will be a positive benefit”. Jack Canfield
“The man who will use his skill and constructive imagination to see how much he can give for a dollar, instead of how little he can give for a dollar, is bound to succeed.” Henry Ford

To be at your performance peak mentally, your body must be loosely physically and relaxed. It is now beyond dispute that there is a mind – body connection and when the body is supple, free from tension, the mind is clear, calm and focused well. This is why yoga is such a beneficial activity. It keeps the body relaxed so the mind can follow. Basic stretching for 15 minutes a day is also an excellent way to release tension that builds up as a result of our life in this highly complex and fast moving, but wonderful world. Try having a massage or power lounging in a Jacuzzi. Relax the body and you relax the mind.

Tip
Prepare a detailed financial plan for the next few years and follow it. Seek out financial advice if you need it. A powerful strategy for financial mastery is also a simple one: save 10% of all you make for long term growth. (Take this directly off your paycheck before you have the chance to spend it). If you can invest $200 a month for the next 30 years at an annual return rate of 15%, you will end up with $1.4 million dollars. Being wise with your money is one of the very best investments to make. Financial security leads to personal freedom.

Another piece has intellect in it and that’s your steering wheel. You can never over do the fuel that goes into the body, which is the emotions and the steering wheel to drive it.” Gary Busey

What do I want….and why do I want it? “Nearly all rich and powerful people are not notably talented, educated, charming or good – looking. They become rich and powerful by wanting to be rich and powerful. Your vision of where or who you want to be is the greatest asset that you have. Without having a goal it’s difficult to score.” Paul Arden – It’s Not How Good You Are, It’s How Good You Want To Be.
Make it one of your goals to develop a dynamic, charismatic personality. Such a quality is something each of us has the potential to develop but few do. President Kennedy was a sickly youth but rose above his physical problems to be the most charismatic and exciting political figure in the history of the United States. Start off small. Take a course on public speaking. Go to the library when you will find books on the fine art of conversation and personal grooming. Learn three clean and witty jokes and get in the habit of socializing. You will have fun and build a lasting network of friends and associates.

Do not seek out praise, rather seek out criticism. Constructive feedback does not have to be negative. Learn to accentuate the positive in the feedback given. Would you prefer to surround yourself with honest people who give honest feedback in your relationships or would you prefer to be surrounded by people who tell you what you want to hear that might not be the honest truth.
Think of three people who can provide you with inspiration, motivation and support for your goals and aspirations. Plan to meet with each of them over the next few weeks. Listen enthusiastically to them and brainstorm with them. Map out a strategy and take their wise counsel. Make every one of your days a true masterpiece.

“Feelings or emotions are the universal language and are to be honored. They are the authentic expression of who you are at your deepest place”. Judith Wright
Just as valuable energy is wasted by spending time on activities that are of no value, energy can be wasted on lose thinking. Imagine that your mind has an energy measure of 1000 watts at its disposal. Each time your mind wanders off the project at hand, to a nagging worry, to all the things to do by the end of the day, 100 watts is lost. Quite soon the entire energy supply is gone. This is the nature of the mind. Fail to discipline it and your energy levels will be depleted and your accomplishments will be minimal. Control it and you will see great things happening. You will feel more powerful and achieve difficult tasks with ease. The 19th century philosopher Henri Frederic Amiel summed it up nicely: “for purposes of action, nothing is more useful than narrowness of thought combined with energy of will.”

“A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst and it sparks extraordinary results.” Wade Boggs
A content mind is a continual feast. Greed and material desires must be curbed to achieve lasting happiness and serenity. Be happy with what you have. Do you really need all of those material possessions? One can develop contentment just as one develops patience, courage and concentration – with daily practice and sincere desire.

“Dreams are not born of indifference, laziness for lack of ambition… Every failure brings with it the seed of an equivalent success.” Napoleon Hill
Sometimes, stress can be a good thing. It sometimes does allow us to perform at peak levels and can assist us through the flood of chemicals it releases within our bodies. What is harmful is too much stress. The times of stress must be balanced nicely with times of pure relaxation and leisure for us to be healthy and at our best.
Many of the great leaders of our time were exposed to crushing workloads and the burdens of high office. But they prospered by developing strategies to balance the challenging times with fun and calming times. President Kennedy would have regular naps in his White House office. Winston Churchill had the same practice and slept for one hour every afternoon to stay alert, focused and calm.
Not only is it essential to be physically relaxed to maintain optimal health but one must couple this trait with mental serenity. Too often people think that vigorous exercise, good nutrition and pleasant leisure activities will be the panacea for all ills. These pursuits must be combined with positive thinking and peace of mind for true happiness and longevity.

Get into the habit of taking mental vacations throughout the day. Visit Bermuda for a few minutes in the morning. Visualize a swim in the Mediterranean in the afternoon and skiing down the slopes of the Alps just before you head home at the end of the day.

Day 199
Whenever I am feeling good…I am bringing more good things into my life….When you learn to love your own company, you become far more careful about whom you spend your time with. Love yourself….When you walk away from any situation and the thoughts that come into your mind are…well there’s an hour of my life that I am never going to get back…that is an indicator telling you…you want something different…

Day 201
The more chances you give someone the less respect they’ll start to have for you. They’ll begin to ignore the standards that you’ve set because they’ll know another chance will always be given. They’re not afraid to lose you because they know no matter what you won’t walk away. They get comfortable with depending on your forgiveness. Never let a person get comfortable disrespecting you.
“The key to good technique is to keep your hands, feet and hips straight and centered. If you are centered, you can move freely. The physical center is your belly, if you mind is set there as well, you are assured of victory in any endeavor.” Morihei Ueshiba Founder of Aikido

Day 202
I do not need to have a situation change…to feel good about it….Build your life from within. Love yourself unconditionally. Release bottled up emotions. Make time for long walks, alone. Avoid living beyond your means. Nurture your inner strengths. Stop apologizing for being you. Surround yourself with positive people. Embrace your situation, whatever it may be. It is difficult to let go of the past if you have not learned from the past, as soon as you learn to let go, you improve your current circumstance.

Day 203
My attention to it….invites more of it…..if you continually focus on the past and the way that things were done, you will continue to get more of the way things were done. To make change to your situation, you will have to create a new view point.
You are as happy as you want to be.
Almost everyone have heard the hit single 'Don't Worry, Be Happy' by Bobby McFerrin. The song has a very catchy way of conveying its message of being happy to everyone. Bobby Mcferiin's simple message surely made a lot of people by telling them not to worry.
Living a happy, resilient and optimistic life is wonderful, and is also good for your health. Being happy actually protects you from the stresses of life. Stress is linked to top causes of death such as heart disease, cancer and stroke.
One of the better things ever said is - 'The only thing in life that will always remain the same is change', and in our life we have the power to make the necessary changes if we want to. Even if we find ourselves in an unbearable situation we can always find solace in the knowledge that it too would change.
Social networks or relationships are essential to happiness. People are different, accept people for who or what they are, avoid clashes, constant arguments, and let go of all kinds of resentments.
Happiness is actually found in everyone.

Shelley D. Chuchmuch Mind Science
10 ways to start taking control (time management, goal setting)
1. Take Good Care of Yourself
It's much easier to be positive when you are eating well, exercising, and getting enough rest.
2. Remind Yourself of the Things You Are Grateful For
Stresses and challenges don't seem quite as bad when you are constantly reminding yourself of the things that are right in life. Taking just 60 seconds a day to stop and appreciate the good things will make a huge difference.
3. Look for the Proof Instead of Making Assumptions
A fear of not being liked or accepted sometimes leads us to assume that we know what others are thinking, but our fears are usually not reality. If you have a fear that a friend or family member's bad mood is due to something you did, or that your co-workers are secretly gossiping about you when you turn your back, speak up and ask them. Don't waste time worrying that you did something wrong unless you have proof that there is something to worry about.
4. Refrain from Using Absolutes
Have you ever told a partner "You're ALWAYS late!" or complained to a friend "You NEVER call me!"? Thinking and speaking in absolutes like 'always' and 'never' makes the situation seem worse than it is, and programs your brain into believing that certain people are incapable of delivering.
5. Detach From Negative Thoughts
Your thoughts can't hold any power over you if you don't judge them. If you notice yourself having a negative thought, detach from it, witness it, and don't follow it.
6. Squash the "ANTs"
In his book "Change Your Brain, Change Your Life," Dr. Daniel Amen talks about "ANTs" - Automatic Negative Thoughts. These are the bad thoughts that are usually reactionary, like "Those people are laughing, they must be talking about me," or "The boss wants to see me? It must be bad!" When you notice these thoughts, realize that they are nothing more than ANTs and squash them!
7. Practice Lovin', Touchin' & Squeezin' (Your Friends and Family)
You don't have to be an expert to know the benefits of a good hug. Positive physical contact with friends, loved ones, and even pets, is an instant pick-me-up. One research study on this subject had a waitress touch some of her customers on the arm as she handed them
257 | P a g e a b c - i q . c o m
Shelley D. Chuchmuch Mind Science their checks. She received higher tips from these customers than from the ones she didn't touch!
8. Increase Your Social Activity
By increasing social activity, you decrease loneliness. Surround yourself with healthy, happy people, and their positive energy will affect you in a positive way!
9. Volunteer for an Organization, or Help another Person
Everyone feels good after helping. You can volunteer your time, your money, or your resources. The more positive energy you put out into the world, the more you will receive in return.
10. Use Pattern Interrupts to Combat Rumination
If you find yourself ruminating, a great way to stop it is to interrupt the pattern and force yourself to do something completely different. Rumination is like hyper-focus on something negative. It's never productive, because it's not rational or solution-oriented, it's just excessive worry. Try changing your physical environment - go for a walk or sit outside. You could also call a friend, pick up a book, or turn on some music.
When it comes to the corporate world, protocol is pretty much the religion. To know the things needed to do are the basics of productivity, but interaction and having a steady mind makes up the entire thing to true productivity. There are those who seem to work well even under pressure, but they're uncommon ones and we are human and imperfect. To get these little things like stress under our skins won't solve our problems. Sometimes it takes a bit of courage to admit that we're turning to be workaholics than tell ourselves that we're not doing our best.

Day 204
I have control over the thoughts that I think….how well do you understand what your feelings are telling you? Your feelings are speaking to you, your feelings, emotions; G.P. S gives you immediate feedback in each moment if you are closer to what your higher self wants for you of if you are farther away from what your higher self wants for you.
What motivates you to achieve success? Motivation is what drives you into achieving goals in life. Without it, any task you perform will feel dry and empty. It is one of the core difference between a hard working person and a hard working machine. Also, motivation acts like a sort of adrenaline rush in the blood stream. It can make you achieve things which you normally cannot. It is like the fuel that keeps the fire burning. But like any fuel, motivation can also run out. Sometimes, it can just get dry on its own. This is especially true if the goals being pursued still appear so far away. This is why motivation is something that needs to be renewed from time to time just as you would refuel a car once its fuel tank is empty. Motivation can be destroyed by discouraging situations and events. When motivation is crushed, it is difficult to gain it back. Students lose motivation to keep practicing their art, employees lose motivation to keep doing a good job and so forth. So, what are some ways you can keep yourself motivated and what are some things you can do to help you during those less motivating times?
Do you try to find better ways of doing things?

Day 205
My success does not require hard work…..when I am aligned with positive energy with the feeling of joy, freedom and empowerment…..Always question….it helps to clarify what you are thinking…seek truth in the solution….
Motivation Tips
Set your final goal – keep your eye on the final goal and keep on track. But that also means you will not be satisfied until you achieve it. So to feel satisfaction along the way, divide your goals and achieve them one by one. For example, if your aim it to have USD 1, 000,000 in your account, why not start with 100,000 then 200,000, then 300,000 and so forth.
Recall your daily goal – every morning when you wake up, start the day with refreshing your mind about your goals. This way, you will be able to start every morning head on and in high spirit and energy. You may do this after lunch, after your afternoon nap, and every time you feel like it.
When someone tells you that something is impossible to do, do you want to try to find a way to do it?

Day 206
There is no shortage of money…or time…or positive good feeling thoughts……the physiology of your body lets you know through disease if you are connected or not to your source or GOD force energy.
Motivation Tip
Exercise humble optimism. Thinking positively will help you go a long way. But if you are always overly optimistic, you might be paving way to greater disappointment. When being optimistic, you should approach it with a humble heart. Know which goals are realistic and which are unrealistic. Always remember that optimism and positive thinking should still be based on facts and positive outcomes.
After a failure, disappointment, or an episode of depression, you might not feel like getting back on track right away. But this is what many successful people realized: just jump right back on track even when you do not feel like it and soon you will feel the excitement again. “It’s not how good you are, it’s how good you want to be”. Paul Arden

What are your thoughts on alternative forms of healing? There are many different strategies and treatment available to try to calm your body. Reiki, is the free passage and transference of universal life force energy. Reiki is a universal, graceful and compassionate energy that can heal on many levels. As all of our energy systems are linked, mind, body and soul; each of these systems are connected and can have an effect on each other. It follows then that if a cleansing, healing energy flows though the body, the spiritual body and the mind will also benefit the healing of the mind, body and emotions.

“In the infinity of life where I am, all is perfect, whole and complete, and yet life is ever changing. There is no beginning and no end, only a constant cycling and recycling of substance and experiences. Life is never stuck or static or sale, for each moment is new and fresh. I am one with the very power that created me and this power has given me the power to create my own circumstances. I rejoice in the knowledge that I have power of my mind to use in any way that I choose. Every moment of life is a new beginning point as we move from the old.

The Voice of Confidence in Public Speaking– Paul McKenna
1. Imagine how your voice would sound if you were totally confident right now. Alternatively, imagine the voice of a confident, passionate person you enjoy listening to. 2. Now start to match your voice out loud with the confident voice inside of your head. 3. Do it a sentence at a time.

Rather than complaining…I will focus my attention on the positive things that are happening…..Do you see yourself as action orientated or do you prefer to let others be in positions of leadership? Are you comfortable with being the center of attention or do you prefer to be an active observer?

The Power of Water
“When life shifts and moves and alters its course outside of our control we can adapt to the situation. We can alter our form and adjust to the new conditions and in the course of doing so stay more open to opportunity and happiness.
Yet, water has a fierce side that can destroy all that is in its path. It can reshape mountains and rocks, destroy towns and wash away any proof of what was there prior to its havoc.
This power, this force has no patience or forgiveness. We have the ability to be like water, to adjust to alter or to allow our anger and resentment to destroy the potential of what can be. We have the power to shape our lives to create beauty or devastation.
Be like the beauty of water and realize that you have the power in you to be the harshest side as well. Aware that our actions create our lives and those actions always seep over into the lives of others.”
C. Nordyke

”You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” C.S Lewis
Thoughts are very powerful. They affect your general attitude. The attitude you carry reflects on your appearance, too – unless, of course, you are a great actor. And it doesn't end there. Your attitude can also affect people around you. The type of attitude you carry depends on you. It can be either positive or negative. Positive thoughts have a filling effect. They are admittedly invigorating. Plus, the people around the person carrying positive thoughts are usually energized by this type of attitude.
Negative thoughts on the other hand have a sapping effect on other people. Aside from making you look gloomy and sad, negative thoughts can turn a festive gathering into a funeral wake. A positive attitude attracts people, while a negative attitude repels them. People tend to shy away from those who carry a negative attitude.
We can also define attitude as the way of looking at the world. If you choose to focus on the negative things in the world, more or less you have a negative attitude brewing up. However, if you choose to focus on the positive things, you are more likely carry a positive attitude.

Tip
Compartmentalize your worry. Set aside a certain amount of time to ponder over a problem and map out an effective plan of attack and your options. Once this is done, have the mental fortitude not to come back to the problem over and over again. The human mind is a strange creature, things we want to forget keep coming back and those things we want to remember are not there when we want them. But the mind is similar to a muscle and the more that you flex it the stronger it will become. Make it your servant. Feed it only the best nutrition and information. It will serve you well.

Do you scare yourself by imagining the worst? Do you spend your time focusing on negative outcomes in the future? You get in life what you expect.
Tips
Do not let your mind float like a piece of paper in the wind. Work hard to keep focused at all times. When doing a task, think of nothing else. When walking to work, count the steps that it takes to get all the way to the office. This is not easy but your mind will soon understand that you hold its reins and not vice versa. Your mind must eventually become as still as a candle flame in a corner where there is no draft.
Your will is like a muscle. You must first exercise it and then push before it gets stronger. This necessarily involves short term pain but be assured that the improvements will come and will touch your character in a most positive way. When you are hungry, wait another hour before your meal. When you are laboring over a difficult task and your mind is prompting you to pick up the latest magazine for a break or to get up and go talk to a friend, curb the impulse. Soon you will be able to sit for hours in a precisely concentrated state.
Sir Issac Newton, one of the greatest classical physicists, the world has produced, once said: “If I haven’t done the public any service, it is due to patient thought”. Newton had a remarkable ability to sit quietly and think without interruption for very long periods of time. If he can develop this so can you.
You can also build your will-power by restraint in your conduct with others. Speak less (use the 60/40 rule = 60% LISTEN of the time and speak a mere 40%, IF THAT. This will not only make you more popular but you will learn much wisdom as everyone we meet, every day has something to teach us. Also restrain the urge to gossip or to condemn someone who you feel has made a mistake. Stop complaining and develop a cheerful, vital and strong personality. You will greatly influence others.

The key to successful time management is doing what you planned to do when you planned to do it. Keep your mind fully on the task at hand. Only then will you achieve your goals and have time for the things that matter the most.

Summary Think and Grow Rich Napoleon Hill 1937 Original Publishing
Desire This is the starting point to success and is perhaps the most important principle. Your desire is an accurate picture of what you will become. There are 6 steps to achieving your desire. 1. Fix your mind on the exact amount of money you want to have in your possession. 2. Decide what you are prepared to give in return (perhaps a service you will provide. 3. Select a definite date by which you will have acquired this money. 4. Prepare a definite plan and begin to implement it immediately. 5. Based on the first 4 steps write down a clear statement of the amount of money you will acquire, the time limit for its acquisition, what you will give in return and your plan for accumulating it. 6. Read your written statement aloud just before going to bed and once again first thing in the morning. As you read, see yourself already in possession of the money.
Faith
It is vital that you have faith or belief that you can accomplish your greatest desires. Remember that you would never have thought of your desires unless faith had been tugging at your mind.
Auto Suggestion
This is the method of putting the sub-conscious mind to work for you through repeated suggestion. It is the faculty of being able to concentrate your mind on your burning desire until your subconscious mind accepts it as fact and starts to devise ways of bringing it about. This is where hunches and flashes of inspiration comes from and why they should be trusted.
Make a written statement of your goal with the time limit for its achievement and a description of the goods or services you are going to offer in return. (If your goal was money)
Then take a few minutes in the evening and again the following morning to repeat this statement over and over. Leave a copy of it around until you have memorized it. While repeating the statement you must see yourself already in possession of your goal.
By following these steps you are implementing the principle of auto suggestion.
Specialized Knowledge
To be successful you will require specialized knowledge of what you intend to do in return for fortune. People talk about the fact that “Knowledge is power”. However, it is only potential power. Knowledge is only powerful to the extent that it is organized into a definite plan of action and directed to a definite end.
If you do not possess all the required knowledge then you must bridge your weaknesses to learn all that you can. This can be done by: A) Set aside time every day to find out more about what you do for a living. B) Take whatever courses that are offered on your subject. C) Associate with people who know your business well. D) Get the help of your Master Mind Group.
Imagination
Man can create anything he can imagine. Our imagination is the workshop where all of our plans are created by man. And our only limitations within reason is in the development and use of our
292 | P a g e a b c - i q . c o m
Shelley D. Chuchmuch Mind Science
imagination and subsequent motivation to action.
Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe he can achieve. We should constantly use our imagination to think of ways to do things better, to look at what changes are inevitable and to ask ourselves can we make them now.
Organized Planning
Have a definite plan to achieve your goal. A man without a plan is like a ship without a course - no place to go with disaster a probability. Every person who has risen above the average has always had a plan to achieve their goals. When devising your plan get the assistance of the other members of your “Master Mind Group”. Take advantage of their knowledge and experience of your area.
Characteristics of Great Leaders
1. Unwavering courage 2. Self – control 3. Keen sense of justice 4. Definiteness of decision 5. Definiteness of plans 6. Habit of doing more than you are paid for 7. Pleasing personality 8. Sympathy and understanding 9. Mastery of detail 10. Willingness to assume full responsibility 11. Co-operation
Decision
Reach decisions quickly and to change them slowly. Unsuccessful people procrastinate regularly and often take a long time to make a decision and then they change far too quickly. In fact, in a survey of 25,000 business people poor decision was the main reason that people fail.
Persistence
Persistence is a state of mind and can therefore be cultivated. Lack of persistence can be overcome with effort. Ensure: Definiteness of purpose, desire, self-reliance, definiteness of plans, accurate knowledge – knowing that your plan is sound, co-operation, will power and habit.
Power of the “Master Mind”

Knowledge is power. People who have achieved great success are not necessarily more skillful or intelligent than others. What separates them is their burning desire and thirst for knowledge. The more one knows, the more one achieves. Great leaders have techniques to allow them to arrive at the top of the mountain. Read the biographies of the world’s leaders and learn from their habits, inspirations and philosophies. Cultivate the important practice of role modeling. The leaders determine what the culture will be in any environment for good or bad. Teach by the clarity of your example! Be better!

“A man who is master of himself can end a sorrow and he can invent a pleasure. I don’t want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.” Oscar Wilde
The intensity of your emotion that you are feeling inside of yourself for negativity is the equivalent indicator of the level of your relief if you turned your attention to joy. Negative emotion is your warning bell from God telling you, this is not what I want for you, I love you at all times and you deserve better.

How do feel when you listen to music? What kind of music do you listen to? Like a musical instrumental tune, your body emits the frequency of a note. What music makes you feel happy?

When you look for something you will find it. If you constantly expect exceptional success, you will surely have it. Peak performers attract success. You must keep the goals you desire at the forefront of your mind throughout the day. You must FEEL as if you have already accomplished them. Only when your body is positively in tune with the universe, do you act accordingly. Get happy, feel happy, and then act!

“Nothing is either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” William Shakespeare
Tip
Once every few weeks, leave your watch at home. In society, we often become bound to the clock and soon it governs our every action like a rigid taskmaster. Go through the day doing precisely what you wish to do and for however long you wish to do it. Spend time with that special person without having to run off to your next appointment. Savor the moments and focus on what is truly important rather than the mundane things that somehow take on a greater importance than they really deserve. Lose the clock and gain some quality time.
Practice forgiveness…holding onto guilt, anger and frustration only will invite more of it into your experience….put it in a bubble…and blow it away…

“All of the principles of heaven and earth are living inside of you.” Morihei Ueskiba
Tip
Recognize the tremendous power of opposition thinking. This simple technique involves the substitution of a positive thought each time a negative thought enters the mind. For example, on a Sunday evening or Saturday evening, depending on when your work week will start, you may think, “I wish I did not have to return to school or work tomorrow after such a pleasant and relaxing weekend.” Immediately replace this defeating thought batter before it begins to take hold by thinking the opposite. You might want to think, “I cannot wait to return to the office to be given new and exciting projects to complete”. Think of how fortunate you are to have a job and one that you can advance in through our own efforts and productivity. Make a list of all the positive attributes of your position and repeat them over and over again. Soon the negative pattern will be broken and you will look toward the exciting week ahead with that most fabulous of qualities: enthusiasm.

“The question is not really whether or not you go on, but rather how you are going to enjoy it?” Robert Thurman
Tip
Get deep into the habit of personal introspection. Ben Franklin called this one of the most important strategies for personal effectiveness. Spend 10 minutes every night before you go to bed in self-examination. Think about the good things you did during the day and the bad actions you may have taken which you must change in order to excel and grow. Successful people are simply more thoughtful than others. Daily reflection will soon allow for the eradication of your negative qualities ranging from procrastination to gossiping to insulting others and will sharpen the mind. After steady practice, a time will eventually arrive when the mistakes you make are few indeed and your personal power will move to the highest level.

Tip
The most efficient and effective alarm clock ever developed lies within our own minds. If you do not believe this, try the following: 1. Sit in an easy chair approximately 10 minutes before you go to bed. 2. Shut your eyes and gently rest your hands on your knees. 3. Breathe deeply for a few minutes (inhale to the count of 5, hold to the count of 10 and exhale fully. 4. Repeat the following command to yourself 20 times. “I will awake at (the desired time) feeling fresh, alert and enthusiastic.” This command must be said with feeling and emotion. Then take a few seconds to visualize yourself waking up at the desired time. (The more detailed the mental picture, the better) and imagine how great you will feel. You will soon wake up at the desired moment after little or no practice.

Tip
Forge and foster great friendships as such relationships are essential for maintaining a healthy and successful life. Find a few minutes every day to jot down some warm wishes to an old friend or to place a telephone call to someone you have not had a chance to speak to for a while. Show compassion and sincere consideration for all of your friends and watch the results which follow. Develop long lasting friendships by being a good friend. Also, make it a priority to seek out new friends no matter how many you may be fortunate enough to have. This is one of life’s greatest joys which many of us miss.

Drown your appetite by drinking more water – ten glasses a day is ideal. It revitalizes the system and purifies the body. Also, get into the habit of eating soups and more complex carbohydrates such as rice, potatoes and pasta which feed your hunger with far less calories than other less healthy foods. You truly are what you eat and must ensure that your diet is designed to maximize your energy and mental clarity.

Tip
Develop the essential habit of punctuality for it is most important for high success. Punctuality reflects discipline and a proper regard for others. Without it, even the most sophisticated person appears slightly offensive. Do not be early and certainly never be late. Budget your time and, should you arrive early, take a walk or simply relax for a few moments to ensure that you arrive on time as requested. You will be appreciated and welcomed always if you cultivate this important quality that appears so rarely these days.

“An educated person is one who has so developed the faculties of their own mind that he or she may acquire anything they want, or its equivalent without violating the rights of others.” Napoleon Hill
Tip Push yourself just a little harder and a little farther each day. Winners on the playing field of life push the envelope of their potential daily. Do one thing you fear and the death of fear is certain. Winners do the things that less developed people don’t like doing even though they also might not enjoy doing them. This is what strength of character and courage is all about. Tackle your weaknesses. Do the thing that you have consistently put off. Write that thank you note or letter that you have neglected for so long. Exercise discipline muscles and they will rise to the occasion by filling your day with more satisfaction, more effectiveness and far more energy.

Before you can receive the pathway to your dream, you must first learn how to believe that your dream is possible.

When something is not believable in you, you’re never going to give it all the energy and attention that it needs to become a reality.
When you look in the mirror, do you love what you see? Are you giving and kind? Or are you negative and a taker? Do your conversations involve mutual exchange? Do your surroundings support who you truly are?

“Your concept of yourself is everything that you believe to be true. And everything that you believe to be true about yourself has landed precisely where you live and breathe every day of your life. Your beliefs about yourself are like ingredients in a recipe that you use to create your self - concept.

“Knowledge of the powers of your subconscious mind is the means to the royal road to riches of all kinds – spiritual, mental or financial. The student of the laws of the mind believes and knows definitely that regardless of the economic situations, stock market fluctuation, depression, strikes, war, other conditions or circumstances, he will always be amply supplied, regardless of what form the money takes. The reason for this is that he has conveyed the idea of wealth into his subconscious mind.” Joseph Murphy – The Subconscious Mind

“What if someone told you that you do have a purpose in this life, and that your purpose is allowing more joy, and what if someone told you that the true measure of your success in life is your joy? What if you were told that the inherent basis of your life is freedom, and that you not only were born free, but because you have the freedom to choose your own thoughts, you are always free? What if it was explained to you that every time you reach for a thought that makes you feel better, you are, in that moment, achieving your purpose?” Abraham Hicks – The Teachings of Abraham

PAY IT FORWARD Process – Catherine Ryan Hyde
Many of you may have seen the movie ‘Pay It Forward’ or have read the novel of the same name, a story about a young boy who did 3 good deeds for others in need. In return, all that the child wanted was that they pass on the good deed to three other people and keep the cycle going. One good deed might not seem like much, but if everyone did something good for someone else, then the cycle of generosity and kindness can spark us to become better people.
So how does it work? Do between one and three good deeds for others without asking for anything in return. Instead the recipient should be instructed to pay it forward to someone else in need.
Here’s some examples that might help give you some ideas 1. At a drive through, pay for the car behind’s meal and give the cashier a Pay it Forward card to pass on…You could do this at the train station, at a coffee shop – anywhere you like. 2. If it is raining, give your umbrella to someone who does not have one. 3. Visit an elderly neighbor’s house and ask them if they need to have anything they need repaired. 4. Donate some money to your favorite charity – perhaps collect some donation money from people at work. 5. Tell the manager of a restaurant how great your waiter/waitress was. This can happen in any store / business you visit. Aim at brightening someone else’s day 6. Talk to parking attendants – try and get them to hand out Pay it Forward cards instead of parking fines – wouldn’t that be nice? Alternatively you could top up other people’s parking meters to stop them getting a fine. 7. Cook a casserole for a new mother. Caring for newborns is tiring and draining. Mothers will appreciate the ability to eat something home-cooked without having to cook it herself. 8. Buy Lottery Scratch-Off tickets and put one in an envelope. Hand it to a receptionist on the way out of a business appointment. You just might change that person’s whole life. 9. Give a homeless person some food vouchers. 10. If you are washing your own car or mowing your own lawn, do the same for your next door neighbor 11. At your office, thank the “little people”. Everyone’s part is essential and no one’s job is purposeless. Thank the mail guy, the girl who orders supplies, or the door person. 12. Drive an older person in the neighborhood to the grocery store (they will love the opportunity to get out of the house, as well) or if they aren’t able to go themselves, take their list and go to the store for them. If at all possible, pay for their things. 13. Be a mentor for someone who needs some support. 14. Do some work for a client or one that can’t afford your services free of charge – just ask that they pay it Forward

Day 322
The only thing standing in between you and your goal is the story you keep telling yourself as to why you can’t achieve it.
To do
Our lives have been described as a parenthesis in eternity. We are but a small blip on the stage of the universe. As we can take nothing with us when we leave, then the real meaning of our existence must be to give and to serve others. Keep this in mind. When you wake up in the morning, repeat this mantra: “I will serve others today, I will care for others today and I will be kind today”. This kind of living will bring you huge returns if you stay on the purpose of aiding others rather than on the outcome of personal gain.

“We are sending out thoughts of greater or less intensity all the time, and we are reaping the results of such thoughts. Not only do our thought waves influence ourselves and others, but they have a drawing power – they attract to us the thoughts of others, things, circumstances, people, luck in accord with the character of thought uppermost in our minds.” William Walker Atkinson
To do
Be known as an innovator at your workplace. Sit down over the next week and write out ten suggestions for your supervisor as to how to improve the work being done and the quality of the workplace itself. Be known as an idea person willing to discover challenges and tackle them with zest and enthusiasm.

Improving your Interpersonal Skills
1. Stay professional – be at your best in every situation – the way you act reflects on your character. Learn to deal with situations in appropriate ways. 2. Establish Credibility – Be sincere, if you are truthful and upfront with people, it will go a long way to gaining another person’s respect and trust. 3. Understand the other person’s point of view – reflect on what other’s tell you. Even if you disagree, take the time to learn and understand another person’s perspective. 4.

“If you want to be successful, find someone who has achieved results you want and copy what they do and you’ll achieve the same results. In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It’s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently. What we can or cannot do, what we consider possible or impossible, is rarely a function of our true capability. It is more likely a function of our beliefs about who we are. We can change our lives. We can do, have and be exactly what we wish.” Tony Robbins

“One of the principal reasons why so many fail to get what they want is because they do not definitely know what they want, or because they change their wants almost every day.

“We are not onlookers peering into the unified field of separate, objective reality - we are the unified field. We can reach beyond the physical body and extend the influence of intelligence. Every thought you are thinking creates a wave in the unified field. It ripples through all the layers of intellect, mind, senses, and matter, spreading out in wider and wider circles. You are like a light radiating not photons but consciousness. As they radiate, your thoughts have an effect on everything. Your relationship to life is the same as that of one cell to your whole body. One cell can talk to your whole body. One cell can influence your whole body. You can talk to the whole of life - influence the whole of life. The whole of life is as alive as we are. The distinction between 'in here' and 'out there' is a false one - as if the heart disregarded the skin because it was not on the inside.” Deepak Chopra

Don’t dwell on the past
It is impossible to go throughout a career without hitting a number of bumps in the road. No matter how hard you try, no matter how thoughtful you are, you are bound to hit snags in the road. And when you do hit those snags, you reaction to them will forever influence your capacity for success. You can either learn from them, or you can harp on them for weeks, months or even years – allowing them to drag you down at every step of the way. No matter how bad your failure was, it’s over. All you can do now is work carefully to improve your future prospects.

If you want a better job or anything better than what you already have, it is important to understand how the law of attraction works. You know that to bring something better into your world you must create how that picture will look in your mind and imagine that you are living it in the here and now. You need to remember that if you complain about your current job for example, and continue to focus on negative things, you will never bring the better job to you. You must look for things to be grateful for in your current job. Each thing you find to be grateful for is helping to bring that better job to you.

Deciding that you will feel joy no matter what happens is the mark that you have actually changed (your point of attraction). If you react to the outside with disappointment and frustration than all you’re actually doing is reinforcing the fact that you haven’t changed, therefore why should the outside change? That’s the paradox. The mark of true change is to behave differently even if the outside still looks the same. Earth is a master class. You are strong for choosing to be on the earth. To turn that much darkness and that much difficulty into light and effortlessness, never think less of yourself.” Bashar

“Most folks are about as happy as they make up their minds to be.” Abraham Lincoln
“My mind is a center of divine operation. The divine operation is always or expansion and fuller expression and this means the production of something beyond what has gone before. Something entirely new, not included in past experience, through proceeding out of it by an orderly sequence of growth. Therefore, since the divine cannot change its inherent nature, it must operate in the same manner in me; consequently in my special world of which I am center, it will move forward to produce new conditions, always in advance of any that have gone before.” Thomas Troward – The Dore Lectures on Mental Science

Marriage Box
Most people get married believing a myth that marriage is a beautiful box full of all the things that they have longed for; companionship, intimacy, friendship etc. The truth is that marriage at the start is an empty box. You must put something in before you can take anything out. There is no love in marriage. Love is in people. And people put love in marriage. There is no romance in marriage. You have to infuse it into your marriage. A couple must learn the art and form the habit of giving, loving, serving, praising, of keeping the box full. If you take out more than you put in, the box will be empty.

What makes your heart sing? What is your purpose for life? When you find your purpose, your heart will light up with passion. You know it absolutely…without any doubt….
NOTE:
You have as many reputations as you do acquaintances as each person you know things differently of you. What should truly concern you is your character. You have full control of this and this is what you must develop, refine and cultivate. Once your character is strong and vigorous, then all else that is positive will flow.

The Optimist Creed – Christian D. Larson
I Promise Myself…..
To be strong that nothing can disturb my piece of mind. To talk health happiness and prosperity to every person that I meet. To make all my friends feel like that there is something worthwhile in them. To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true. To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect the best. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.
I promise myself. To forget the mistakes of the past and press onto the greater achievements of the future. To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature I meet. To give so much time to improving myself that I have to time to criticize others. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words but in great deeds. To live in faith that the whole world is on my side, so long as I am true to the best that is in me.

Tip
“There is no right or wrong way to tell your improved story. It can be about your past, present, or future experiences. The only criterion that is important is that you be conscious of your intent to tell a better-feeling, improved version of your story. Telling many good- feeling short stories throughout your day will change your point of attraction. Just remember that the story you tell is the basis of your life. So tell it the way you want it to be.” Abraham – Hicks the Teachings of Abraham

Day 360
Only when you are in a good feeling place do you take steps toward achievement of your goals. Focus on the solution and take those steps when you are feeling at your best. If the result of the action is not a match to what you have desired, that just means that this is not how you were meant to achieve your goal. Do not lose sight of your end result; however, your pathway to your goal may be through a different door.

Life was meant to be fun and to not be taken so seriously. There are benefits to laughing. It reduces heart disease, it is a natural pain killer, improves breathing, decreases stress and makes you look younger. HAVE FUN!
There is a commonality among all successful people in all fields, from sport, music, art, business, education, medicine, professional speaking to being a zoo keeper. Everyone created the life that they wanted based on their focused thought, desire to learn more through loving what they did. If you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life. Find what you love to do.

If something deep inside of you says that something is not right about a person or situation, trust it”. Spirit Science
Living our daily lives can be as easy as taking in a breath of air or as hard as climbing a mountain’s summit. There are things that can bring us down and lift us up. Even our own family can fill us up with anger or enlighten us with joy and happiness. Regardless of what stature you have in life, you will always need someone, something, or anything that can help you get through each day. Some people find relief in God, family, companions, dreams and ambitions. Living a fruitful life is living it with meaning. Finding that meaning can be a lifelong journey and along the way you may need words of wisdom that will guide you through the right path. Words that will let you overcome the struggles that come along with what life has to offer us.
Today may be rough but tomorrow remains a mystery until you do something today to change what lies ahead. Make each day worth living for the next.
And so your story continues……..just the way that you want it to be….when you seek, believe…feel…it will be…. THINK HAPPY…THINK POSITIVE and FEEL SOLUTION. You hold the power in your thought and emotion to purposefully create your life experience. Make the choice…to make the change….

VERITAS: Mind Science across the disciplines
In order to ensure lasting change in the future, we must examine policy and practice of past and how this impacts today’s societies. Through the study of thought and how life experience is created, I examined the physical, non- physical, metaphysical, philosophical, theological, physiological, spiritual, economical and physiological dimensions of the universe. I examined foundations of thought in the east and west studying what was being taken from the west, integrated into the east and why it was or was not working.
I sought out solutions factoring how all humans are united examining global education systems in Canada, United States of America, International Baccalaureate, Finland, Korea, China, United Kingdom and Qatari education systems determining how knowledge is taught and applied, how systems of education are streamlined, teacher quality standard, materials, culture of environments and examination of school environments.
Through applied action research, I created Mind Science, ABC-IQ Global Management Systems, a fully aligned system of education.
What is Mind Science?
Mind Science is a multi-disciplinary area of study. Mind Science encompassing global culture, the theory of the Multiple Intelligence’s, The Law of Attraction, Positive Psychology, Emotional / Social Intelligence, Mindfulness, Theology, Psychology, Neuroscience, Metaphysics / Spirituality, and applied Economics.
The theoretical influences of Mind Science encompass Physics, Humanism, Existentialism, Constructivism, theory of relativity, and Positive Psychology as well as humanism researchers Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers work which involves the study of concepts such as self-actualization and growth, dignity and value of individuals as compared to things.
429 | P a g e a b c - i q . c o m
Shelley D. Chuchmuch Mind Science
Mind Science also involves Jean-Paul Sartre’s theories on existentialism which state that we are both free and responsible for finding out who we are and what to do with our lives that behavior is a choice and we can always choose to change it. Constructivist theories also state that individuals construct or interpret their own reality based on the perception of experiences through empowerment of individuals, increasing their sense of freedom and choice in the way the people live their lives.
Mind Science also encompasses Martin Seligman’s work in positive psychology which focused on the growth of individuals, not on what was wrong but on what was right, working toward positive prevention to help individuals and not just to endure and survive, but to flourish. These areas of study include individual traits of courage, interpersonal skills, insight, optimism, and perseverance.
Introduction to the Basics of the Mind
“Your mind is programmed like a computer. It has its own software which help you to organize your thinking, actions and behavior. If you have a behavior that you want to change, it is a matter of conditioning or programming. Most problems stem from the same root causes-negative thought running the unconscious or conscious mind”. Paul McKenna
There are billions of interconnecting neurons connecting the conscious mind and unconscious mind. Our senses through sight, sound, taste, touch and smell are interpreters of that unconscious energy.
An introduction to Neuroscience
“Neuro science research supports the idea that your brain remains adaptable throughout your lifetime. Each person has the power to change his or her brain for the better – this is called self-directed neuroplasticity.
This means that a person can facilitate changes in your thinking (beliefs and attitudes), emotions (mindfulness and resilience) and behavior creating new and healthy habits. Healthy habits forming mind body medicine such as mindfulness,
430 | P a g e a b c - i q . c o m
Shelley D. Chuchmuch Mind Science meditation, self-awareness, self-motivation, resilience, optimism and self- efficiency”. Dr. Sarah McKay
What is Neuroplasticity?
“Neuroplasticity refers to the ability of the adult brain to generate and integrate new brain cells (neurons) and remodel pre-existing neural circuits” Dr. Sarah McKay. All mental activity, sights, sounds, thoughts and feelings are based on the brains interpretation center. Your senses are translators of energy interpreting messages from your brain center.
What is Positive Psychology?
Positive psychology and well-being, includes many topics, such as values, a sense of meaning or purpose, positive and negative emotions, moods, friendship, gratitude, religious commitments and beliefs, pleasure, stress, and so forth. Positive psychology research on well-being includes both desirable and undesirable states, just as the study of human health does not ignore sickness, my emphasis is on preventative measures as opposed to curative.
Spirituality / Metaphysics / Physics and “The Law of Attraction
21st-century societies are killing one another in the name of "GOD". What is God? A question asked by many. Although, the world will never come to agreement as to what “God”, is. I certainly know and understand what “GOD”, ISN’T. Every human being is created in the likeness of God. We were all human beings until race disconnected us, religion separated us, borders and politics divided us, wealth classified us and the standards movement in education defined us.
An introduction to Einstein’s Theory of Relativity
Theoretical Physicist, Albert Einstein, argued everything in the universe is made up of energy. Match the frequency of the reality that you want and you cannot help but get that reality, this is not philosophy this is physics. Your imagination is everything, it is the preview of your life’s coming attractions. Einstein stated
431 | P a g e a b c - i q . c o m
Shelley D. Chuchmuch Mind Science that “E=mc2. The theory of relativity shows that the increased relativistic mass (m) of a body comes from the energy of motion of the body-that is, kinetic energy- divided by the speed of light squared. This equation expresses the fact that mass and energy are the same physical entity and can be changed into each other.” Encyclopaedia Britannica Online
Our world is currently experiencing a "suicide" and identity crisis due to globalization, modernization, limited resources, and politics of fear being instilled through governments and the media. With the greed capitalistic model practiced by many societies, humans are being sacrificed for the pursuit of money and power. Societal values have changed and societal expectations have changed. Everyone seems to want something for nothing with our youth being raised with an immediate gratification mindset with the understanding that they are entitled because of who they are.
With globalization, immigration and integration of cultures, societies are quickly having to respond to changing policies and procedures to satisfy the masses. Although, this is largely more prevalent in the developed nations, both eastern and western nations face challenges in adhering to equal rights for all.
The definition of equality in the west is different from equality in east. Societal thought at its basis are on the opposite ends of the spectrum. However, at the basis of all of this is free thought of the individual.
You are free, in any society, to think either positive or negative. Regardless of your chosen pathway to enlightenment. Negative and positive emotion and thought, unite us all as human beings. This is within the realm of every person’s control.
What is education? What is the purpose? Are grades more important than physical, mental and emotional health?
432 | P a g e a b c - i q . c o m
Shelley D. Chuchmuch Mind Science
Education is a very personal subject and at one point or another has impacted every person. Depending on where you reside on the planet, every culture or country has its own motivations and values regarding education. Even though countries have their own values, we all share the same common goal in education, which is the development and empowerment of the individual to acquire and apply knowledge for the betterment of self and community.
In any system of education, the common question that remains at the forefront of everyone’s mind is how do we prepare students who are entering into educations systems in present day for life success up until retirement and beyond?
As societies continue to evolve, we must prepare students to embrace modernization, globalization, and knowledge. With that in mind, what is applicable education and what does success mean to the 21st-century student? What should 21st century systems of education look like?
The current model of industrialized education that is practiced by most every country in the world was designed in the 1800’s and early 19th century teaching students what to think rather than how to think. “Every education system around the globe has the same hierarchy of subjects. At the top is math and languages, then humanities, vocational subjects and sport and then at the bottom is the arts. Within the arts hierarchy there is also a hierarchy of music and art and then dance at the bottom. Why aren’t all of these subjects treated equally”? Sir Ken Robinson
Noted Psychologist, Howard Gardner, has demonstrated through the theory of the multiple intelligences that human beings consist of 8 different intelligences. Utilizing the child friendly descriptors, we are music, body, people, word, logic, nature, self and picture. There are far more ways for humanity to express themselves through means other than reading and writing. Equal emphasis is not placed on the development and enhancement of the multiple intelligences.
433 | P a g e a b c - i q . c o m
Shelley D. Chuchmuch Mind Science
What is the definition of life success and who sets that standard? Is life success defined by obtaining 100% on a test or is life success waking up each and every day in a state of positive health and feeling happy?
There is a living, breathing caste system in current assessment models of education. Our world is a great tapestry of differentiated thought. Unfortunately, the standards movement defines success as the ability to read and write really well. When educators sit in front of children with a stopwatch in hand, and students cannot reflect answers fast enough to reflect proficiently, we are not teaching students to read and write, the opposite effect happens, we are instilling a sense of competition and unworthiness in trying to meet the standard.
All of the other people who choose to express the culture within themselves through a means other than reading and writing, are also being told inadvertently, you are not good enough because you cannot score 100% on a pencil and paper test. All human beings are smart, the question remains, how are you smart? How do you choose to express the culture that is you?
Culture is a broad subject and includes not only expression of self though music, art and dance, culture is also the practice of environments. The culture that happens on the outside of schools impacts the culture that happens on the inside of schools. Culture as well as beliefs are repeated thoughts and learned patterns of behavior that can be changed. The leaders determine the culture of any environment. Leaders and teachers do not just include educators, governmental or religious leadership. Leaders are any person who comes into contact with the influence over children. Influence of the media, religion, pop culture, capitalism, governmental structures, family culture and community culture all have a direct influence over the mind and the formation of values practiced by each individual. People are a product of their environment. “A system of education is only as good as its teachers”. UNESCO.
Although, in most countries, separation of church and state exists, societal laws are formulated around values taught in religious books imposing religious law on
434 | P a g e a b c - i q . c o m
Shelley D. Chuchmuch Mind Science all people in all walks of life-based on what was written thousands of years ago. These laws and books have not taken into account the changing faces of our societies to allow for free thought, freedom to choose and societal evolution.
The whole entire world is currently reading a variety of different books each written by a variety of teachers. Each teacher came forth with their interpretation of energy promising enlightenment based on positive and negative life experience for the time that they were on the planet as physically focused energy. Some of these religious texts are fear based in nature promising a better after-life if imposed restriction is lived in this current reality.
What is the Law of Attraction?
The law of attraction demonstrates that which is like unto itself is drawn. This understanding as applied to humans summarizes the correlation of life experience creation through paired thought and emotion understanding the purpose of the internal guidance system "intuition" and emotions.
Through prolonged thought and attention, mankind holds the tools in their hands to purposefully create life experience both positive and negative. We can no longer state that life just happens to us holding others accountable for our life experience. We live in an inclusion based universe. Everything has an opposite and equal equivalent.
We are all energy beings. Humans are extensions of energy that is either physically of non-physically focused. You will be the master of your own life when you understand “God force energy”, master your mind and understand the meaning of your emotions, which I believe to be “God’s Perfect Sensor, G.P.S or VERITAS.
Simply put, your emotions are messages from your higher self, or what you can call “GOD”. These emotions are Vibrational Energy Reading Intuition Truth’s Accurate Sensor (VERITAS). They never lie to you. Your emotions and intuition ALWAYS speak truth. LISTEN TO IT.
435 | P a g e a b c - i q . c o m
Shelley D. Chuchmuch Mind Science
Conclusion Science has confirmed that our universe is an energy field and that we cannot have a universe without the mind entering into it. Everything around us is made up of energy. Everything is operating at a frequency in vibration including mankind.
Energy is either physically or non-physically focused. Mankind holds the tools in his hands to purposefully create life experience through prolonged thought and focused attention. Unexpressed emotion causes an imbalance in the body system eventually leading to stress which is the root cause of sickness. “Dis – ease, is a body that is without ease”. Esther Hicks
Do words teach or do we learn through life experience?
Through contrast by gaining life experience acquiring and applying knowledge, mankind makes choices based on experience to choose wanted and unwanted life experience. Contrast leads a person to make the next choice for what life experience is wanted. We retain memory based on the intensity of the emotion felt in the experience.
Words provide a basis for learning, experience of applying words to our life experience creates knowledge application. Making mistakes is how we learn. When children are constantly handed everything to them, they are robbed of their right to gaining life experience gaining problem solving skills for knowledge application to understand, solidify and apply knowledge. True learning takes place where there is a change in behavior. I think, I see, I do, I apply, I understand.
Life is meant to be positive! When we are born, we come to the planet with a clean slate. Everything that we learn is a result of cultural influence around us. Beliefs are thoughts that we keep thinking based on our chosen life experience.
Our thoughts and life experience is influenced and formulated based on the culture of the environment around us. Culture is the way that things are done in
436 | P a g e a b c - i q . c o m
Shelley D. Chuchmuch Mind Science environments. The cultural makeup of individuals is formulated and influenced by the media, government, family, community, language, religion, workplace and economy.
If you want to change your life, you will have to change the way that you think and perceive situations. Problems cannot be solved using the same thinking in which they were created. You must change your perception and see the world through seeking solutions by utilizing different thought and a different vantage point. The solution feels much different than the problem. How did that thought make you feel? FEEL Solution through finding a better feeling thought! Seek Joy and remember the feeling!
You are responsible for the creation of your life experience! Choose your thoughts wisely. We live in an inclusion based universe. The Universal Law of Attraction does not disappoint. True wisdom cannot be taught. It must be experienced.
The world is my classroom, education is my religion, and humanity is my politics. We are all interconnected through universal energy. As many of the religious texts state, life is eternal, there is no death. What does that truly mean?
By a 21st century interpretation it means that we are all extensions of “GOD”. You are source energy. When humans experience physical death, our energy transitions back to being non- physically focused. We are still present in the universe operating from a different vantage point with collective consciousness.
All of humanity thinks thought and feels emotion. That is universal truth or VERITAS. Tune into the positive energy of the universe and experience a positive life of Joy!
