Sample Content Preview People with a growth mindset are not focused on the past or even with current difficulties. It’s not even that they look for ways to solve problems as such; they are focused on creative ways to grow that can completely bypass existing issues. It comes down to a question of focusing on lack or focusing on growth. This does not mean that you ignore things that need to get done. You will still attend to specific obligations. But they are less of a weight when your focus is on where you are going instead of where you happen to be. From a Fixed to a Growth Focused Mindset Going from a fixed to a growth mindset can take some work. This is because habits and psychological tendencies can be extremely entrenched in our psyche. So we have to adopt best practices in order to observe what is truly possible. One of the best ways to gain a growth mindset is to observe how the other half live, the richest 1% of society. You will find that they do not pay any attention to what is commonly written on the internet about best financial practices. They are in the mindset of wealth and they constantly expect wealth to flow. However, for somebody who is used to watching every penny and budgeting all the time, it can be very difficult to accept this. Additionally, these people are usually born into wealth where they never picked up negative concepts surrounding financial acquisition. If you could manage to spent some time with wealthy people, there high-growth mindset will rub off on you. It’s an easier way to live. Even if you do not have a privileged upbringing, you can still adopt this mentality. Habit and repetition are key to cementing a growth orientated mindset. So you could focus on growing your capital reserves significantly. Set a figure such as $10,000 and try to explore ways to increase your account. This will be a combination of cutting back on certain expenses, visualizing different flows of income and the pile getting bigger, and concentrating on ways to increase revenue in general. Either way, your focus has to be on your capital reserves getting bigger, not on being unable to afford things. Don’t try to justify your lack of growth - just focus on growth. Neither the universe nor other people care about your excuses. And you shouldn’t either. Tools for Dealing With Limiting Beliefs Everybody has certain fears and limiting beliefs that keep them stuck in negativity and distress. Some people just find it impossible to attract a partner, no matter what they do. Other people find it difficult to manifest money and material items, despite applying all the online techniques and turning their attention to the problem. This is where meditation and mindfulness can really demonstrate their effectiveness. They can serve as tools to calm down our central nervous systems when we are anxious or upset about anything. When we get in negative thoughts spirals about something, the situation continues to perpetuate itself. On a larger scale, this is also what is happening when we simply cannot manifest money, relationship, wellness, or any kind of abundance. Deep down we have very strong convictions based on prior experiences. And it is these deeply held beliefs that stop us from growing in a very real sense. Mindfulness and meditation can help to observe these beliefs without having any negative reactions. They free us up to grow and expand. Of course, when using them we need to make sure to take a long-term and mature approach. They are not overnight shortcuts that we are so used to hearing about, but life long approaches that always work to greater or lesser degrees. In truth, all things that relax us such as surfing, singing, dancing, painting, writing, doing martial arts, going for a massage, essential oils, and more are useful for getting us out of our own heads. We need to do things that put us in a good place, and to integrate them into our lives for frequent emotional and mental resets. When we are in a good place, we can then focus on our growth mindset much more efficiently. Remember if you are unsure of your capability of doing or achieving something that this is just a belief that you happen to have. No more, no less. People pick up beliefs from their parents and from wider society and go through their whole lives without replacing them with empowering ones. Don’t let this happen to you. Use all available tools to replace limiting beliefs with good ones. The Morning Miracle Much has also been said about the significance of our morning routine. How we start the day will set the tone for the rest. It has been given special significance in many esoteric texts, especially in the schools of Ayurveda and Zen Buddhism. If we get our mornings right, it will set us up psychologically until the night. How you execute your morning routine is up to you. A suggested routine could be to make your bed, shower, meditate, and sit mindfully with an herbal tea before going to work. Depending on the time you have available, you could also consider essential oils, self-massage, yoga, affirmations, and/or visualization.

Sample Content Preview Fact: Most of us are spiritually sick The real reason why detoxification, for many people, fails to deliver its promised benefits is because we are treating the wrong condition. We are defining toxins in purely chemical or physical terms. We failed to see that the real issue of toxicity has to do with our spiritual state. Most of us are spiritually sick, precisely because we feel we don't have any purpose. I'm telling you, that to-do list at work is not your life's purpose. I know it's very hard to believe, but it's true. Similarly, that reading syllabus for school, that is not your life's meaning. Aim higher, look somewhere else. The problem is when we define our lives based on our schedules, and based on our jobs, our titles, and societal expectations, the spiritual toxin gets stronger and stronger. That sense of meaninglessness and purposelessness that eats away at you at the pit of your gut; gross. It becomes menacing. The worst part of all of this is we think that this is the most natural thing in the world. It's as if like you wake up one day and you realize that you're lost, but when you look around you, everybody is as lost as you. So what's the problem? Well, just because everybody's sick, doesn't take away from the fact that you have to take responsibility for your own spiritual illness. Fact: Most of us are under a tremendous amount of mental and emotional pressure Starting in the Industrial Revolution, factory owners started porting workers on the clock. That's how they were able to milk as much productivity from workers as possible. Prior to this point, people were farmers. Just by looking at the sky, they know when to get up, when to eat, and when to sleep. In other words, they were naturally connected with the Earth and environmental cycles. That has been broken by the Industrial Revolution. And now that we live in the post-industrial age of Facebook and social media, and mobile devices, it has gotten even worse. Now, people don't read anymore. When they look at their mobile devices, they scan, they look for keywords, they look for interesting pictures. Then and only then would they stop and possibly pay attention. Whatever fragmentation the human mind went through, it has been multiplied billions of times thanks to social media and mobile devices. And believe me, it's going to get worse. It is no surprise that we are under tremendous amount of mental and emotional pressure. How can we not be? We've been fragmented. Our attention has been atomized. Our sense of identity and wholeness have been redefined. Fact: Any real detox program must not only deal with biochemistry, but address spiritual and holistic issues Given the two facts above, and the trends that I mentioned earlier, the real definition of detox should become abundantly clear by now. The real answer must go beyond biochemistry. It must go beyond the things that we can physically see and detect. In other words, it must work with the spiritual and holistic issues that truly afflict us. You have to understand that somebody may be biochemically okay in terms of their blood tests, but if they're struggling with emotional, mental, and spiritual toxins, it will eat away at them. They're not going to perform at peak levels. They will lose that sense of adventure, curiosity, and discovery that makes life possible. Any real detox program must address this. It must go beyond the obvious. Sadly, most ‘life modification’ programs out there, be they diets, wellness programs, or recovery regimens and others, are designed from the ground up to be temporary. They are intended to deal with a problem at one time. No wonder they don’t leave much of an impact. They simply focus on making a problem go away at one time or at one phase of your life. These programs are almost episodic. If you are suffering from one issue at one time in your life, you need to adopt these programs. Once the danger or the hassle passes, you go back to doing what you were doing before. These are as long lasting as the typical diet. In other words, they aren’t all that durable. Just as people jump from one diet to another, people go from one life solution after another. They rarely shoot for something for lasting. They rarely aim for a life full of victory due to fundamental change. In other words, they rarely go for something that will make their problem go away once and for all. No wonder so many lifestyle programs make so much money! They are intended to be temporary. They are intended to work just like any other product you can typically pick up at your corner convenience store. You pick out at an item from a rack, unpack it, and then heat it up. Quick and easy. No fuss. No muss. Sadly, you get hungry again. In the case of lifestyle issues, you may be able to address the shallow symptoms and external indicators but you’re no closer to fixing the real deep-seated problem. Put simply, when it comes to the stuff that truly matters, you are no closer to resolution. No wonder your problems keep coming back. No wonder no matter how hard you try and how much money you spend, your problems keep coming back in one form or other. You have to shoot for something deeper. You have to aim for something more drastic and fundamental. Superficial ‘solutions’ are not enough. You only end up a day late and a buck short with these solutions. Regardless of how many people swear by them or claim to have been fundamentally changed by them, they are all too shallow and superficial. Real change can only come from traveling a totally different path. This goes beyond diets. This means so much more than just changing your environment or surroundings. This goes so much further than affirmations or mental and emotional reprogramming. Don’t get me wrong, the items above are very important and are much needed in some circumstances. But if you are looking for real fundamental change, you need to strike deep. You need a more far reaching and more comprehensive approach that strikes at the core of your personal value system. The real solution? A holistic detox approach By holistic, I'm talking about Wholistic. You have to look at not only the things you can see and readily detect, but the things that you cannot see. Then and only then, would you be able to truly detoxify. This is the complete full-powered detox approach. Nothing else will do.

Table of Contents Chapter 15 Chapter 28 Chapter 3...12 Chapter 4...14 Chapter 5...16 Chapter 6...18 Chapter 7...20 Wrapping Up...23 Sample Content Preview Chapter 2 You Can Alter Your Life Synopsis We now know that positive mental attitude is a great thing. Once you begin to employ these principles with positive mental attitude in your preferred occupation or to a solution of your personal issues, you're on the road to success. Then you're on the right track and headed in the correct direction toward getting what you wish. To accomplish anything worthwhile in life, it's crucial that you employ positive mental attitude, no matter what other success rules you employ. Positive mental attitude is the catalyst which makes any combination of success precepts work to accomplish a worthwhile end. Its negative mental attitude, combined with some of the same precepts, that's the catalyst which results in crime or evilness. And grief, calamity, tragedy —sin, disease, demise —are a few of its rewards. The Things Needed As long as you live, from this day onwards, you are able to analyze your every success and every failure —that is, if you form these principles indelibly in your memory. You might develop and sustain a permanent positive mental attitude by making it your duty to adopt and apply these principles in your day-to-day living. There's no other known technique by which you might keep your mind positive. Analyze yourself bravely, now, and learn which of these precepts you have been utilizing and which of them you've been overlooking. In the future examine both your successes and your allures, utilizing the principles as a measuring system, and really soon you'll be able to lay your finger on what has been holding you back. If you have positive mental attitude and don't succeed, then what? If you utilize positive mental attitude and don't succeed, it might be because you're not using it the right way in the combination for success to accomplish your particular goal. Initially it might be hard to comprehend and apply the principles. However as you continue to read each of these precepts will be more clear to you. You'll then be able to utilize them. Has the world presented you a raw deal? "I never truly had a chance to advance. My dad was an alcoholic, you know." "I was raised in the slum area and that's something you are able to never get out of your system." "I only had an elementary school education." These individuals are all stating, in essence, that the world has afforded them a raw deal. They're blaming the world and conditions outside themselves for their failures. They blame their heredity or their surroundings. They start out with a negative mental attitude. And, naturally, with that attitude, they're handicapped. But it's negative mental attitude that is holding them down, not the extraneous handicap which they provide as the cause of their failure. Identifying one's self with a successful mental image may help break the habits of self-doubt and defeat which years of negative mental attitude set up inside a personality. A different and equally crucial successful strategy for altering your world is to identify yourself with a mental image that will inspire you to make the correct decisions. It may be a slogan, a picture, or any other symbol that's meaningful to you. What will your picture state to you? There's one way to find out. When you're faced with a grave issue or decision, ask your picture a question. Listen, for the answer. A different crucial ingredient for altering your world is to have definiteness of purpose. Definiteness of purpose is the beginning point of all accomplishment. Definiteness of purpose, blended with positive mental attitude, is the beginning point of all worthwhile accomplishment Remember —your world will alter whether or not you decide to alter it. • However you've the power to decide its direction. You are able to pick out your own targets. When you ascertain your definite major aims with positive mental attitude, there's a natural tendency for you to utilize seven of the success precepts: • Personal initiative • Self-control • Originative vision • Organized thinking • Commanded attention (concentration of effort) • Budgeting of time and cash • Exuberance Goals 98 out of every 100 individuals who are disgruntled with their world don't have a clear picture in their brains of the world they'd like for themselves. Consider it! Consider the individuals who drift without aim through life, disgruntled, struggling against a great many things, but without a clear goal. Can you say, right now, what it is that you wish out of life? Fixing your goals might not be simple. It might even involve a little painful self-contemplation. But it will be worth whatever work it costs, because as soon as you are able to name your goal, you are able to expect to enjoy a lot of advantages. These advantages come nearly automatically. The first awesome advantage is that your subconscious starts to work under a universal law: "What the mind of man may conceive and believe —the mind of man may accomplish with positive mental attitude." Because you visualize your specified destination, your subconscious is affected by this self-suggestion. It goes to work to help you arrive there. Because you know what you desire, there's a tendency for you to try to get on the correct track and head in the correct direction. You get into action. Work now gets to be fun. You're motivated to pay the price. You budget your time and cash. You hit the books, think, and plan. The more you consider your goals, the more enthusiastic you get. And with enthusiasm your want turns into a burning desire.

Sample Content Preview The more detailed you can get about who your target audience is, the more you can be sure that you've chosen the right approach with the videos that you are producing. If you want to build your authority on YouTube, then you have to make sure that you are providing the right kind of content to attract your target audience and encourage them to subscribe to your channel. You need to make sure that you take the time to clearly define your target audience before you spend the effort in creating videos for your YouTube channel. 2. Make Compelling Videos It's the same for blogging, as it is for Facebook, as it is for Twitter, as it is for YouTube, content is king. In fact, it is even more accurate when it comes to the videos that you create. The only way that you will be able to increase your following on YouTube and build your authority is if you have high-quality videos that spread across other social media platforms is by creating content that is worth sharing. This is where understanding your demographics becomes key. So, what kind of content is worth sharing? As you probably already know, the most shareable content are the kinds of videos that are either extremely funny or that appeal on an emotional level in some way. While it can be controversial, these kinds of videos don't bring in the positive results in the say way as the heart-warming stories would. The last thing that you want to create is a boring video where you are standing in front of the camera with a potted plant and filing cabinet in the background, spouting out what makes your product better than all the others in a monotonous tone. No one is going to find that scenario exciting or funny, and they won't share the video which means that you won't be able to attract new followers or build your authority on YouTube. Instead, you need to try and illustrate just how great your product is in a series of videos and make sure they are entertaining. You’ll need to find the style of videos that will work for your business, which means you’ll have to experiment with your videos until you find what works. Just make sure that the final style that you land on will either present your content in a funny or entertaining way, but ideally, you want to try to incorporate both into your videos. 3. Brand Your Channel Page When it comes to building authority on YouTube, an easy way to do this is by making sure that your branding is consistent with your company website and across all social media platforms, including YouTube. You can customize your YouTube channel to be consistent with your business branding material by making sure that you are using the same colors, the same tone, and the same style on all your online marketing platforms. You also want to add your company logo to your page; you can either use it as your channel profile photo or include it in your channel banner. Either way, you want to make sure that your target audience can quickly identify your brand when they visit your channel. An important thing for you to remember is that you will not be able to change the name of your channel once you have set it up on the platform. This means that you need to make sure that you choose the right name that will attract the right audience to your page. You can do this in the content planning stage before you even sign up for a YouTube business channel. Like with any of the other social media platforms, it is incredibly important that you complete your channel profile and include as much detail about your business and brand as possible. Including relevant keywords in your company description can help your channel rank higher on the search engines, which will make your videos more discoverable by your target audience. Another way to ensure that your videos rank high in the search results is by making sure you correctly tag your videos every time you upload them to your channel. 4. Create Different Types of Content To build your authority on YouTube, you need to create videos that get a lot of views, and you need to increase your number of subscribers. This means that you need to produce the kind of videos that will garner a lot of attention. While we discussed creating funny and entertaining videos earlier in this piece, there are other kinds of video formats that have been proven successful on YouTube. To be a smart brand marketer, you need to know which types of videos are most popular and understand how you can develop your videos around these trends. Creating different kinds of videos around your product or service will keep your viewers interested and coming back for more. Here are some of the most popular types of content that you can create for your YouTube channel to help build your authority on the platform. - Product Reviews - How-to-videos - Video blogs or vlogs - Comedy or Skit videos - Educational videos - Q&A videos - Behind the scenes videos - Webinars To build your authority, you’ll need to venture out of your comfort zone and try different content styles. While not all of these types of video formats will work for your business, you want to experiment early on to determine which videos work best and attract the most viewers. Narrow down your selection to three or four different content styles and make sure you rotate them often to keep your audience interested in what you have to say.

Sample Content Preview Large companies, like Hotmail, use viral marketing messages to help perpetuate brand awareness. This is often accomplished by creating animation clips or humorous videos that people are compelled to send to their friends for a laugh. Large corporations aren’t the only ones who have found success by employing viral marketing strategies. If you like to play with animation or video, you can adopt this strategy to generate more interest in your business. It’s important to keep in mind that it can be difficult to accurately track your return on investment with viral marketing because it is almost impossible to keep track of where the ad goes. Also, while viral marketing is great for generating a buzz around your company and products, it won’t always translate into immediate sales. Employ Online Business Networking Communities Over the last several years, more and more business network communities are popping up on the Internet. These online networks are similar to social media sites or dating sites but are used exclusively by entrepreneurs to find other like-minded businesspeople that they can build mutually beneficial business relationships with. These kinds of sites can provide you with an excellent opportunity to establish joint marketing ventures with other like-minded business owners. Business networking communities can help you generate more traffic to your site by allowing their members to create personal profiles with links to their main company websites. Establishing links on business network sites can help to improve your site’s ranking on the major search engines like Google and Bing. Another way you can use business networking communities to help drive more traffic to your site is to work with businesses that are relevant to yours and try to get mentioned on the sites that your target audience is likely to visit. Look for companies that are related to your but that aren't direct competitors. A great way to get your website mentioned by other businesses on their site is to offer to swap links with them. Make sure that you find sites that get a lot of traffic. Let them know that you'll put a link to their website on yours if they do the same for you. Not only will this generate a ton of traffic, but by having more links on other sites, you'll also increase your ranking on Google and other search engines. If you decide to join one of the business networking communities, you want to be sure to partner with businesses that are complementary and relevant to your own business. The companies you choose to partner with should have audiences that fit within your target audience demographics, and who would be likely to visit your site and become your customer as well. Give Away Free Content You can quickly get the message out about your website by giving other businesses free content. This is one of the best ways to make sure that your company's site gets mentioned on other sites. Many owners of Internet businesses are more than happy to obtain quality information to put on their website or their own opt-in newsletters. Offering these other businesses some regularly updated content that has already been posted on your site can significantly benefit your business. When you provide free articles, advice columns, or product reviews to other companies, you'll not only be doing a favor for them, but you'll also significantly increase the exposure of your own website. The goal is to try and get your content published on popular sites or in newsletters that have extensive mailing lists. This means that you’ll have to do a bit of research before you offer your content to find out how much traffic it gets or how many subscribers they have for their opt-in newsletter. You’ll also need to determine which business sites are hot spots in your particular industry, as these are places that you’ll want your articles to be posted. It is important to remember that for this particular tactic to work, you need to make sure that you include your contact information and a link to your website at the end of every article that's posted on another site. This makes it easy for those who read your article to visit your site to learn more about what you're selling. So, it is essential to ensure that every site that publishes your content also includes a link and your contact information. Participate in Forums and Newsgroups You can generate more traffic to your site by becoming a recognized name in your niche market. Becoming a thought leader can be easily accomplished by participating in discussion forums, newsgroups, and even blogging networks. Participating in these channels is a great way to establish your online identity and start to build relationships with your potential target audience. Discussion forums, newsgroups, and blogging networks are all great tools that can help you communicate with your target market directly and discover what it is they need and want. For example, if you sell ski goggles, spend some time on ski-related forums, which is where your target audience will most likely be hanging out. Or you can start your own blog where you describe your latest skiing adventure, making sure to include attention-grabbing images. You could even combine two tactics and generate even more interest by mentioning your blog in the forums and newsgroups that you're participating in. However, you need to keep in mind that these types of groups don't allow people to advertise their businesses blatantly. If you are caught spamming the group with blatant advertising of your business, not only will you get kicked off the site, but you’ll earn the reputation of a spammer and turn your target audience against you. If you want to use this tactic to generate traffic to your site, then you’ll have to make sure that you’re offering friendly, useful advice to people who are looking for help with a problem. When you do this, you can include a link to your website at the end of your comment. If people like what you have to say, they may end up deciding to visit your site to check out what else you have to offer.

Sample Content Preview The higher the risk, the higher the reward. Unfortunately, your low self-confidence has really reduced your tolerance for risk, uncertainty and the potential for loss that you fail to see opportunities. Even if they do present, you don't take them. Even if you are very competent in certain areas of your life, it's very easy to give in to the temptation of coasting. I really can't say I blame you. If you do certain things very well and you produce certain results predictably, it's very easy to think that that's all you need. It's very easy to think that the rewards that you're getting is enough for you and your needs and you really don't have to apply yourself any further. Believe it or not, this applies to almost everybody because the default standard, as far as the human condition is concerned, is to take the path of least resistance. Laziness is actually a pretty shallow word for this. It's something deeper. With everything else being equal, if given a choice, we would rather take the easy way out. This is guaranteed. So, when you are presented with opportunities to coast, you instinctively take them. Even if you're not given such opportunities, you try to coast anyway. After all, why beat yourself up unnecessarily, right? Here's the problem. The reason why you give in so easily is because you have low self-confidence in your ability to keep challenging your areas of competence. The problem with coasting is you're not learning anything new. You're sticking to the narrow range of knowledge that you already have. Sure, you produce results with that narrow range, but it gets smaller and smaller as the world changes. Soon enough, you would realize that what you know, as well as your capabilities, are simply not up to the job. That is the bitter “reward” of coasting through life. Sadly, low self-confidence pushes you down that slippery slope. To get good at anything, you have to not only master a certain set of actions, but you have to constantly try to break things. You're trying to mix and match, slice and dice and try to come up with all sorts of combinations so you can step up your game. I don't care what you do for a living. Maybe you're a lawyer or a doctor, an architect or an engineer, a chemist, janitor, farmer or domestic helper. It doesn't matter. If you want to be at the top of your game, you can't just focus on the things you already know. You can't just focus on the things that you have mastered and have grown comfortable with. You have to push yourself to the limit. When you have low self-confidence, you think that challenging yourself to go to the next level is a hassle. You have such a low opinion of your ability to discover new things. You focus on the discomfort and inconvenience involved that you lose sight of what you stand to gain. It then all seems like it's just not worth it. If you are suffering from low self-confidence, it's going to be very hard for you to overcome failures and disappointments. I'm telling you right now as you read this, you're already failing. There's already the possibility of disappointment. The problem is not whether failures and disappointments happen in our lives. Spoiler alert. They happen all the time. The issue is what are you going to do about them? Are you going to sit back and just brood over how you worked so hard and missed the mark? Are you going to continue to be disappointed with yourself that you felt that you gave your best, but came up short? Or are you going to try again and again until you get the job done? Which do you think is a better strategy? Now all of us could agree about the answer. In fact, it's obvious. The problem is most people allow their failures and disappointments to define them. They retreat to their comfort zones until these zones shrink smaller and smaller until they find themselves living in a personal prison complete with invisible walls. You can't live your life based on whether something is convenient or comfortable. You have to push back against the walls of your comfort zone. Unfortunately, that's very hard to do if you allow your disappointments and failures to define you. That's really what you're doing. You're letting them set firm boundaries as to what you can and can't do as well as who you can and can't be. A lot of this can be traced to your low self-confidence. I know that the word “blessing” is quite a strong word. After all, we're talking about challenges here. We're talking about starting a business and then running out of money. We're talking about getting into a new relationship and discovering that he or she is cheating on you. That's what we're talking about. Challenges. The curveballs of life. What are you going to do? If you have supreme confidence in yourself, you see all these challenges and you look for the blessing. You look for the proverbial silver lining in the cloud. That's what winners do. That's how people who always find themselves at the top choose to handle things. Unfortunately, if you have such a low view of your ability to get things done and get the results you expect, you look at challenges from a completely different perspective. You look at the inconvenience and the discomfort involved in overcoming them.

Sample Content Preview Have you ever made a phone call and ended up being put on hold? There's the annoying elevator music, the waiting, and no one to talk to. The experience can have quite the sedative effect on your energy. When you are experiencing a panic attack, this is the kind of atmosphere that you want to try to cultivate in your mind. You need to try to put your anxious thoughts and panic on hold. Various meditation techniques and anxiety reduction methods have the same effect on your anxious thoughts. If your particular anxiety is a result of your constant worrying or ruminating, the most important thing you can do to stop a panic attack is just to stop. Stop thinking. Stop talking to yourself internally. When you are trying to control your thoughts, you may experience many other intrusive thoughts that make you feel like you are currently too panicked to have any control over your thoughts. However, being consistent is the key. Meditation experts will tell you that you need to keep bringing your mind back to the blankness every single time it starts to wander. This technique will also work when you are experiencing a panic attack. If you can bring your mind back to the present and pull it from the past or the future, you can effectively stop the panic attack in its tracks. So, when you are experiencing symptoms of an anxiety attack, think back to the last time you were on hold. Pretend that you are the phone operator and your mind is the customer who is refusing to be put on hold, and so what so many companies do to us and leave your panic on hold. 3. Relax Your Body The tension in our muscles and body is linked directly to stress and anxiety. When a panic attack starts to set in, no matter where you are, you need to find the most comfortable and relaxing position you can find. For you this may be sitting in a chair, lying down, or standing up. Do whatever feels the most comfortable to you. It is essential that you avoid doing any strenuous activity that can increase your heart rate because this can end up making your panic attack worse. As you relax where ever you feel most comfortable, start to engage in progressive muscle relaxation technique, (PMR). PMR is a deep relaxation technique that is proven to adequately control symptoms of stress and anxiety, as well as relieving insomnia and reduce symptoms of chronic pain. Start by moving your shoulders around to try and loosen them and release some of the tension. Next, while inhaling, contract one muscle group for five to ten seconds, then when you exhale, suddenly release the tension in that muscle. Allow yourself 10 to 20 seconds to relax before you move onto the next muscle group. When you release the tension in each muscle group, try to focus on the changes you feel when the muscle is relaxed. Employing imagery along with the release of tension might be helpful. For example, you can try to imagine the stressful feelings flowing out of your body as each muscle group relaxes. Gradually work your way up your body, contracting and relaxing each of your muscle groups. Once you've moved through each of your muscle groups, spend a little time stretching the muscles out to contribute to your loosed and relaxed feeling. 4. Get Some Exercise There are numerous benefits that you can gain from exercising on a regular basis. Along with improving your energy levels, enhancing your mood, and promoting quality sleep, regular exercise can also be a pro-active way for those suffering from panic attacks and anxiety disorders to release pent-up tension and reduce feelings of worry and fear. Regular exercise has been proven to help alleviate some of the common issues that are brought on by anxiety and nervousness. To start, exercise can help to reduce the tension and tightness that is held throughout the body of those who suffer from anxiety. Secondly, regular exercise helps to produce endorphins which are the body's natural mood-enhancing hormone that the body uses to fight off pain and stress and can help to decrease your sensitivity to your body's reaction to anxiety, along with reducing the intensity and frequency of panic attacks. Finally, participating in a regular exercise routine can help to reduce the levels of stress hormones in your body and help to improve your sense of well-being. Participating in regular exercise is one way that you can proactively start to practice self-care and overcome anxiety and panic attacks quickly. Along with the many other benefits of a daily exercise routine, you will begin to notice a shift in your overall self-confidence, which can help to reduce anxiety and improve your overall physical health. 5. Change Your Diet While your diet is unlikely to cause you to develop anxiety, if you already suffer from an anxiety disorder, what you eat could make it worse, and you could benefit from making changes to your diet. More and more research is pointing to a link between what you eat and your mood. Certain foods have been shown to help nourish your body and relieve feelings of distress, while other foods can cause changes that could lead to your anxiety increasing. When it comes to the food that you eat, it can significantly affect your anxiety levels. If you are dealing with regular anxiety and panic attacks, then you might need to look at what you are eating and make some dietary adjustments. You can start by avoiding foods that might contribute to your anxiety symptoms. You should try to limit your consumption of the following foods.

Sample Content Preview You must be able to do this even if other people around you are pointing their fingers and saying that you're crazy, stupid, dumb and there's no hope. They keep telling you to quit. You must be able to do this and to be able to do this consistently is not a product of luck. You don't luck into consistent success. It just doesn't happen that way. Success is a habit. In fact, if you look at very successful people, it seems that they can't help but succeed. I know that sounds crazy to somebody who struggles. But they have reached that level. Success is a habit but not in the way you think. A lot of people are thinking that it's a habit of finding yourself at the right place, at the right time, doing the right things with the right people to produce the right results. No. It's a habit of achieving a state of flow. This is the secret. The good news is you have achieved your own personal state of flow before. You probably did not label it this way. You probably define it more in emotional terms. Maybe you're not even all that fully aware of it but everybody's capable of achieving a state of flow. What exactly am I talking about? It's a mental and emotional state where you are able to stick to your goals and achieve them regardless of your circumstances. That's right. No matter how you feel, things fall into place. For example, if you're supposed to write a midterm essay that is 20 pages long, as you already know, that takes quite a bit of work because you're going to have to start with a thesis and finding the right thesis takes quite a bit of time and effort. There are, after all, many other competing thesis out there that go many different directions you could take. Once you have that, then you have to find the outline of how you're going to present that thesis. What position you're going to take. What arguments you're going to make. Once you have that nail down, you're going to have to dissect it. How exactly are you going to prove that thesis? What parts are involved? You have to go through the pros and cons. You shouldn't just focus on the evidence that support your position. You also have to pay attention to the other side. After all of this is in front of you, you have to massage all of these into a readable form that not only contains the points you're trying to make, but makes your points in a firm, clear and effective way. Talk about a tall order. It's no surprise that a lot of college students struggle with this because it takes quite a bit of work and focus. When you achieve a state of flow, you blast through the whole process. You go from a confused idea of what your thesis is to zeroing in on a specific type of thesis and then going through so many different previous research to make sure that your particular thesis is unique enough. That is a state of flow. What would have taken a painful investment of hours can be concluded within minutes or, at most, an hour or two. That's how you know you've achieved a state of flow. Similarly, when you're outlining your work, it's very easy to get lost in the jungle of details and before you know it, you get so discouraged and depressed that you just go out for a bite to eat and forget about your paper. That cheat day, where you took it easy, can easily turn into a cheat week and before you know it, the paper is due. When you achieve a state of flow when you're outlining, things fall into place. You go from section to section and everything is tight, backed with the right information and is written well enough for you to be able to easily put it together later on. Finally, when you're writing out your paper, you know you've achieved a state of flow when you just bounce from outline point to outline point and you do an amazing job incorporating the bits and pieces of evidence that you need to come up with something compelling, tight, concise and effective. This is the state of flow. Pay attention to the process. Did you notice that none of that achievement and performance had anything to do with your feelings? You may be feeling crappy. You may be feeling like life sucks. You may be feeling down because your boyfriend or girlfriend left you. But none of that matters because you are locked in. Your state of flow also doesn't involve what other people around you feel. Maybe everybody's getting ready to go down the street and go drinking. You just say goodbye to them and you get back to your paper. You don't feel that you're being left behind. The idea that you're missing out never enters your head. Instead, you stay locked in.

Sample Content Preview Self-discipline is perhaps one of the most important benefits you get by just having a morning routine and habits. In fact, according to so many philosophers, there is evidence that shows that having that discipline of getting up every morning at the same time is a good foundation to kickstarting a good day. It carries over into the rest of the days in the week, and then months and years. When you enforce an act of discipline at the start of the day, you will simply draw that discipline into various parts of your life. These include your mental focus, health, work, family and diet among others. 2. Time The discipline of a morning habit and getting up early every day is one of the most practical aspects of extra time. In today’s culture, time is considered the most valuable asset. If you don't believe me, look at the success that new time-saving technology like Uber, Amazon Prime, and Alexa's voice has. The truth is, having that extra hour to your routine in the morning can be channeled into doing something productive. You can use that extra time to do something important to you that you normally overlook. Limits Procrastination I don’t know about you, but to me, there is nothing worse than being rushed in the morning. But I bet this is pretty familiar to you too, right? Ever wondered why you feel rushed? Probably because you pressed the snooze button over and over until you are late? Maybe, you spent too much time trying to make breakfast or put together your takeaway lunch? What you wake up to is realizing that you did not allocate adequate time for these activities, possibly because you allowed something else eats into their time. Not having a morning routine simply throws you off the internal clock. This often happens when you do not have a definitive waking time. This is because you are constantly snoozing when the clock goes off. When you choose to hit the snooze button, you are procrastinating tasks even before you get out of bed. This also applies when you procrastinate your urgent tasks to the next. You have to realize how toxic this can be to you. It does not only induce stress but most importantly, it serves as a barrier to attaining your goals and reaching your productivity limit. Therefore, it is important that you start creating reliable habits that are centered around your wake time so that you set the tone for your day, hence eliminate procrastination. 3. Helps lower anxiety Over the last couple of months, I have been trying hard to expand my productivity limits so that it caters well to my evolving workload. To my surprise, waking up early boosts my productivity tenfold throughout the day. In fact, on the days when I get up as planned, I have ample time to ease into the day without necessarily rushing. Stress is directly associated with increased levels of cortisol. This may lead to weight gain, anxiety, and several other health risks. If you have always been in a rush in the morning, try doing things differently tomorrow. Simply get up earlier than usual and take your time to get ready. Then stroll out the door and get to work. This goes a long way in lowering the chances of being anxious and developing stress in the morning. It’s much easier to dive into our to-do list without pressure. The act of checking off several tasks in the morning and creates the momentum that will help you push through the day. Trust me, it is the small wins that matter and pushes you to win big throughout the day. We are constantly seeking for ways to maximize our potential and seizing new opportunities for growth each day. However, we must learn to adapt to changes that occur in everyday life so that we can eliminate the feeling of being overwhelmed, something that can strip us of continued productivity. 4. It gets rid of major decision-making Regardless of how this sounds, the truth is that this is something very important. When you do not have a morning routine, you will not manage your time well, and this simply means that when there are important decisions to be made, you will spend most of the time agonizing over everything. This is something that can cause decision fatigue because of mental exhaustion. You keep asking yourself conflicting questions that eventually flood your brain with unknowns. You do not need this in the morning, as it can be a huge detriment to the rest of the day. It attracts feelings of being overwhelmed and hence inhibiting your productivity. When you establish stable morning habits that you do not have to think twice about, your morning becomes much simpler creating room for your brain to make informed decisions that will get you winning the entire day. 5. Mental toughness Unfortunately, the society we live in today is too soft and fragile. This is because people try to find the easiest way out of every situation, most of which cause us to crumble. What you need for growth and development is a challenging setting. Yes, taking that easy way out can be rewarding in the short-term, but have you stopped to ask yourself what this means in the long-run? It is true that waking up early each day may not be fun, but when you force yourself through this discipline and mental toughness, you are adequately ready for any challenge that life throws at you. The truth is, you will be standing when everyone else is not! The 7-morning habits of winning the day It is important for you to bear in mind that morning habits will set you up for wins throughout the day. In other words, having a ritual that you stick to you no matter what becomes engraved in your system. This produces small wins that will ensure that you are steered in the right direction for the rest of the day. They create the positive momentum. When morning habits are a lifestyle to you, you enjoy a path that is free of friction and strain. You start your day knowing that you are already a winner. For you to transform your life, you must first be willing to accept that habits can be replaced and that you have the power and responsibility to make a change to yours today. Start by thoughtfully designing your day so that you lay a strong foundation for a productive day. Here are some of the habits that you set you winning the day for a very long time. Habit 1: Beat the snooze button Getting up is something that you struggle with at first, but all it takes to stop hitting the snooze button is tuning your mind to winning every day. There is a strong temptation and desire to hit the snooze button so that you can catch a few more wings in the morning. However, the good news is you can break that habit. Each time your alarm goes off, tell yourself you are a winner by getting up and a loser if you snooze. Trust me; no one wants to carry the feeling of being a loser throughout the day. It worked for me, and it can work for you as well. You can start experimenting with other tactics as well to discover what works best for you. Even though there is no single bulletproof solution to overcoming snoozing, you can counter the temptation of hitting the snooze button by simply experimenting different techniques. You may have tried countless methods with no success. Rather than beating yourself over spilled milk, cross off all failed methods and move on to the next attempt. You will eventually find one that works for you and when you do, stick to it.

Sample Content Preview A podcast really is like listening to a show on the radio. They will normally have a specific theme, for example dog training or making money online. Most of the time a podcast will be part of a series where it talks about different aspects of the topic. So one podcast could be about dog obedience training, and another about stopping your dog from barking excessively. A lot of podcasts feature more than one person. The interview podcast is very popular. Here the presenter will interview an expert on a particular subject. This is great for the listener as they have the opportunity to learn from someone that really knows their stuff. You will find some podcasts that have intro and outro music and even sound effects in them. This is not difficult to do as you will discover later on in this guide. We would always encourage you to make your podcasts as professional as possible so that your audience will take you more seriously. What are the benefits of Podcasting? The growth in the number of MP3 enabled mobile phones has really fuelled interest in podcasts. People now have a very easy and convenient way to listen to what you have to say. There are a number of other benefits to podcasting for the marketer and business owner: A good alternative to Video Most online marketers would agree that video marketing is essential these days. The problem with videos is that they take a lot of planning and time to shoot. Also not everyone is comfortable about appearing in videos. If you create poor videos and it is obvious that you don’t want to appear in them then this will do your business more harm than good. There are so many videos available these days that it is a real challenge to make yours stand out from the crowd. You may need to invest in really expensive equipment and software to achieve this. Many things can go wrong when you shoot videos such as the background, sound, lighting etc. Podcasts are a lot easier to create and the space is less crowded to you can stand out much more easily. All you need to create a good podcast is a high quality microphone and a good audio editing software suite which we will discuss later. Generate Traffic with your Podcasts When you create and publish podcasts you will be able to reach out to new audiences. You can use podcasts to build likeability and trust with a wide range of audiences. When a listener subscribes to a podcast series they are very likely to listen to every episode. If the listeners like your podcast then they are likely to recommend it to other people who share the same interests. When this word of mouth kicks in you can really extend your reach. You can generate a lot of targeted traffic to your website through podcasts. You can Build a Great Relationship with your Audience It is possible to build great relationships with your audience through podcasting. The listeners will get the feeling that they really know you after listening to a few of your podcasts. Your listeners will feel that they have something in common with you. All of this is a great way to build trust. Your listeners will form a strong association with your brand or business and this will definitely help you to sell more of your products or services. Your listeners will consider you a friend and they will be a lot happier to make a purchase from a friend than a stranger. Podcasts are easy to create There are not a lot of steps involved in creating a good quality podcast. Nowadays you can purchase the small amount of equipment that you need at a very reasonable price. You need to invest in a good quality microphone for sure, and some good quality headphones will also help. You will also need an audio editing suite which you can download for free. This will enable you to cut out any errors and also add in any jingles, intro and outro music and so on. After you have completed your edits you can create your podcast in MP3 format very easily so that you can distribute it. Podcasts have High Engagement levels The Internet is a great resource for any subject but sometimes there is just too much information. There is always tons of written content and providing a podcast to explain something really breaks up the monotony. It is a lot easier to get a point across with a podcast than it is with text. There was a survey conducted of 300,000 listeners and this revealed that 63% had purchased what the podcaster had recommended. This supports the fact that podcasts really do engage an audience and will have a strong influence on their buying decisions. One of the biggest mistakes that people make with podcasting is that they don’t choose the right niche. Because it is relatively easy to create a podcast there is a temptation just to jump right in without thinking about the long term possibilities of what you are doing. But if you are serious about making money through podcasting then you need to choose a niche that you are comfortable with that will also provide you with money making opportunities. A lot of “experts” will tell you that you should always choose a niche that you are passionate about. This is particularly important with podcasting as the listeners will hear the passion in your voice. But the problem here is that not all “passions” are profitable. While there are a ton of potential money making opportunities with a niche like dog training, there are a lot less with stamp collecting and model railways. So when you are considering a niche for your podcasts you need to think about two important factors: Is there demand and is there commercial opportunity? You may be thinking at this stage that if you know nothing about a niche that is in demand and has good commercial opportunity how can you be passionate about it? Well the answer is that you can certainly become really interested in a niche like this and when this happens your passion will rise to the surface. Listeners Trust Experts When you choose a niche that is in demand you will get a lot more followers with your podcasts. People who are interested in the niche will automatically believe you to be an authority even if you are not. Now we are not recommending that you try to create podcasts when you know nothing about a niche – that’s just dumb! But these days you can learn a lot about a niche in a very short time. There are plenty of resources online and you can obtain high quality training courses for a lot of different niches. You will need to put in some effort initially to get up to speed and you will want to get to the point where you know more about your niche than most people interested in it will know. This does not have to take you a long time. Just immerse yourself into the niche for a few days and you will learn a great deal. What you are doing here is “faking it till you make it” which you might not feel that comfortable with right now, but after immersing yourself into your chosen niche for a while you will feel a whole lot better about everything. The best way to establish yourself as an expert with your listeners is to provide them with valuable tips and advice in your podcasts. Even if you are not well known it will not take long for most of your listeners to warm to you and trust you as an authority. Once you have achieved this then you can start recommending related products and services. So choose an in demand niche with good commercial opportunities and stick with it. Whatever you do don’t go dancing around from one niche to another. You will lose your listeners very quickly if you do this. How to choose the right Niche The best way to start to identify your niche for podcasting is to write down a list of your interests and passions. Also include niches that you know a lot about even if you do not consider that you are passionate about this. Have a look at different podcasting websites to see which niches are the most popular. Also you can use the Google Keyword Planner and see how many searches are happening each month for niche ideas that you have. If there are thousands then you are on the right track. For each of your niche ideas use Google to see if there are products and services available that you can become an affiliate for and make money. Just search for “niche name” + affiliate programs. The more affiliate opportunities that you can find for a niche the better. You can also head over to Clickbank.com and see if there are any digital products on offer there for your niche ideas. Clickbank is the world leader in digital products and they sell products in tons of different niches. You can also check out physical product opportunities on Amazon.com where you can become an affiliate and make money. Eliminate any niche ideas that do not have the demand (tested with the Google Keyword Planner) or not enough commercial opportunities in the form of affiliate offers that you can promote. Once you have done that you can move on to the next step.
