The Best Advice a Father Can Give

The Best Advice a Father Can Give

By Matt Furey

It hit me like a ton of bricks.

I couldn't believe I'd missed it before. I'd read the book many, many times - but this time was different. A secret was revealed to me - and today I'm going to give it to you.

If you are open and receptive to what you are about to read, you can expect a major breakthrough.

Here it is:

"Psychologist David Seabury says that the best piece of advice his father ever gave him was to practice positive mental imagery - immediately and 'on cue,' so to speak, whenever he became aware of negative feelings. Negative feelings literally defeated themselves by becoming a sort of 'bell' which set off a conditioned reflex to arouse positive states of mind."

Now read that passage again. It comes from the 35-million-copy bestseller, Psycho-Cybernetics. Pay particular attention to the words "the best piece of advice his father ever gave him." Why? Because whenever something is "the best piece of advice" someone can give you - especially your father - you know it's got to be good.

In reading this passage, I not only see it as the best advice I can give my son - but myself, and everyone I teach at my seminars and in my coaching programs.

Many people wonder why I am always so calm, cool, and collected. Many wonder how I am able to speak before a crowd in such a nonchalant, totally relaxed way and still have everyone totally riveted.

It's mostly because I have no thoughts of resistance when I speak. I'm not concerned about offending anyone. I'm not even trying to get people to like me. I am simply ME, take it or leave it.

Very few people are like this. They're always trying to figure out how to get others to approve of them or like them. Not good. Because the more you NEED others to like you the less they will like you.

Same goes with money. The more you NEED it, the more it will stay away from you. Money and friends go where they are wanted - not where they are needed. There is a world of difference between want and need. One attracts. The other repels.

Want comes from a vibration of "I'm happy already and I'd like to have this, too." Need comes from a vibration of "I'm miserable and frustrated and I need this thing to make me happy."

Become aware of negative NEED feelings when they arise. And when they do, learn, through practice, to have those feelings immediately trigger the thought to change your vibration into a "feel good" one.

Most people have never been taught to do this by their fathers - or by anyone else. They've been taught to set goals, to have a burning desire, to be optimistic and have a positive attitude.

But what do you do when you look at the state of your finances and you feel bad? What do you do when the reality of your situation begins to ruin your day? What do you do when you're feeling frustrated, fearful, and worried? You do what Dr. Seabury's father told him to do... and what I'm telling you to do.

First, you "recognize" that you are feeling bad.

Second, you understand that this "feel bad" vibration REPELS what you say you want. Your want is not a want. It's a need that comes with the expectation that something outside of yourself will make you happy.

Third, you recognize that this "feel bad" imagery sends a signal to the Universe that you cannot be happy "for no particular reason." And that's not good.

There is a balancing act between having a burning desire and having a desire that burns you.

Having a burning desire creates the necessary mindset that will attract the thing you want. On the other hand, if the desire is connected to "I'm miserable unless I have this thing" - then you are chasing success and that success will always run faster than you do.

Your objective is to attract success, not chase it. Chasing success is repelling success. You never get what you are chasing.

Several years ago, a man sent me an e-mail in which he accused me of "chasing the almighty dollar." He was wrong. At that point in my life, I couldn't even form a mental image of myself doing what he said I was doing.

When I did chase the almighty dollar - and I did it for years - I had no money. When I stopped chasing and learned to attract it, it flowed into my life so fast I was nearly knocked over.

The forces of attraction and repulsion are always at play. Whether you attract more than you repel or repel more than you attract is simply a matter of how strong those forces are. If your repelling energy is stronger, you go deeper into debt. If your attraction energy is stronger, you get wealthier. If both are equally strong, you feel "stuck."

Now the question is... what do you do if you are repelling more than you're attracting?

The answer:

1. You change the way you feel by changing the mental picture you have of your situation.

Every time you feel a negative emotion, you sound the alarm in your head. "Uh, oh. Not good. Change the mental picture to a positive one." You do this over and over, and before long the feel-bad vibe lasts less than a second and you're back to feeling good.

2. You begin each day with exercises that help you go through the whole day without resistance.

You don't just read inspirational messages and books. You stand in front of the mirror and tell yourself what you want. You picture what you want when you speak. You recall previous successes and link them to your future.

3. You have a burning desire in mind, a goal.

You don't expect the goal to give you happiness. You don't let the desire for it burn you by feeling bad that you don't yet have it. In fact, even though you WANT the goal, you are able to "walk away" from it emotionally. If, for example, you want more money - you don't expect more money to give you happiness. You simply want more money - and you put yourself into happiness mode NOW.

If you're happy even though you don't yet have in your possession the thing you want - then you are attracting it to you.

If you're unhappy because you don't yet have in your possession the thing you NEED - then you are repelling it.

So get happy NOW.

Recognize that fear, frustration, and angst are only there to help you change course. They're there to help you see that your mental picture is off-target. Put the right mental image back onto the screen of your mind and watch how the Universe lines things up in your favor.

How Would You Like To Feel Better Forever

Make Up Your Mind Right Now That Your Life Is Never Going To Be The Same From This Moment On!

Whether you want to believe it or not, you can change your life right now! Does
that mean all your problems are going to go away like magic?

Probably not!

That's what I thought, is probably what you're thinking right now. And you can quit
reading right now, & accept things as they are, but until you do something about it
they're going to be the same.

It's up to you!

There's no doubt bad things are going to happen. We're going to have issues to deal with
throughout our lives, but it's how we deal with them that makes the difference. Things don't
just go away, although it'd be nice if they did.

Life happens, & when it does, we better have a way to deal with it. But if the things we can control, are in control, then the surprises don't seem as bad.

Two things we can control are:

• Health
  

• Wealth

Someone once said, "if all you have are money problems, then you don't really have
any problems". Although that sounds harsh to those without money, it's true. You can
go get another job, scale back, or start some kind of service or business. If you have
health problems though, that better be the first thing you give your attention to.

I invite you to take a look at this before you have any health or money issues. The best time
to deal with a problem is before you have it. If you've already gone over the cliff & are air born, it's to late to hit the brakes! It's better to be prepared & not have an opportunity than to have an opportunity & not be prepared.

Do You Feel Good?

When you get out of bed in the morning, how do you feel? I want to know how do you feel!? Some people don't even know because there lives have just become a big routine. Are you full of energy, or do things start to hurt as soon as your feet hit the floor? Do your eyes slam open when your alarm goes off because you're looking forward to the day? Can you walk up the stairs without getting winded? Is it hard to tie your shoes? Are you happy?

Now, let's find out how you feel about where you're going to spend more than 1/2 of your day. Do you wish you were spending the day with your family, or are you dying to get to your job? Do you love what you do for a living? Is everyday the day you dreamed about while you were growing up? Do you feel like your trapped in a job you hate, with people you don't really like, in a place you really don't want to be? Why?

The previous questions are real things you need to think about. The time you spent reading the last two paragraphs is gone. You'll never get it back! That extra 10 lbs. you packed on since you quit exercising would love to hang around all the time, & it will until you do something about it. The job you hate going to everyday, will always be there, or will it? Your dreams will always be there, whether you live them or not. They're your dreams! They were given to you to be lived, but that's up to you. I hope you at least still have dreams.

So often we fall into the "trap", & "settle" for what we're given. You take a job you don't really want, & pretty soon 10 years go by. You start a family, think you're too old to change things, & you settle for what you have. Day after day you go to work, come home, watch t.v. & get up the next day & repeat. Now, I'm not saying we don't have it pretty good compared to a lot of people. But if what you're doing everyday isn't making you happier & healthier, you better think hard. Maybe you're one of the rare ones who loves what they do, has all the money they need, & all the time they want to spend with there family. Chances are you're not though. We get one shot at this life, and we're supposed to make the most of it.

I don't know what area or areas of your life you want to improve, but without money & health, it's hard to improve anything. I suggest you figure out what it is you want sooner than later. Bring your dreams back to life! Live your life!

5 Reasons to Sleep Your Way to Better Health

5 Reasons to Sleep Your Way to Bet

By Suzy Buglewicz

When your mother told you to get your beauty sleep, she may have been on to something. From babies to adults, studies show that the amount of sleep a person gets can directly affect his or her diet and overall health. While individual sleep needs vary, most adults need about 7 to 9 hours of sleep a night consistently, while school-aged children need 9 to 12 hours. According to the National Sleep Foundation, about one third of adults regularly get 6 hours or less of sleep a night. How do you know if you're getting enough sleep? A good way to tell is if you feel alert during the day and feel satisfied with the amount of sleep you are getting. And there are myriad reasons to make sure that happens. Here are five reasons to get enough sleep.

1. Reduces the risk of depression. Getting enough sleep is essential for functioning both mentally and physically during the day. Not getting enough can lead to dramatic mood swings, which can increase the risk of depression. Do you have a moody teenager in the house? Pediatricians recommend that teenagers get from 8 to 10 hours of sleep a night. While pulling an occasional all-nighter is not likely to make much of a long-term difference in our health, research shows that consistent sleep deprivation—getting less than 6 hours of sleep on a regular basis—can have lasting effects that can't be reversed. These effects can include high blood pressure, negative moods, and a decrease in productivity. Good sleep habits lead to better moods at work as well as better moods in our social interactions and personal relationships.
2. Helps maintain an optimal weight. In a culture that encourages us to work and play 24/7 and fuel fatigue with caffeine to keep going, it's easy to see why so many of us are frequently tired. But did you know that getting too little sleep can cause weight gain? Studies have shown that sleep deprivation can lower proteins in the body that suppress our appetites, causing people to want to eat more than they would if they had gotten enough sleep. And when we're tired from lack of sleep, we tend to overeat to refuel our bodies—to replace the energy we've lost. Unfortunately, we're more likely to reach for our favorite comfort foods or foods that give us a quick burst of energy, and those foods tend to be high in calories and carbohydrates. People who don't get enough sleep might also feel too tired to keep up a regular exercise routine, making it harder for them to maintain a healthy weight.
3. Increases the ability to think clearly. A lack of sleep not only makes us drowsy and unable to concentrate, it can also lead to impaired memory function and job performance. When we're well rested, we're likely to be more alert, physically stronger, and better able to perform well at our jobs and at creative problem solving. A lack of sleep in schoolkids can lead to poor concentration and behavior problems in school. Sleep deprivation has also been shown to decrease hand-eye coordination and reaction times, especially when driving. When we do get enough sleep, we're able to think clearly and react to situations quickly.
4. Reduces stress. It's no coincidence that as a society we've cut back on sleep over the past few decades by 1 to 2 hours a night, while studies show that more of us are reporting higher levels of stress than in past years. According to the National Sleep Foundation, 35 percent of adults report that they don't get enough sleep, with women feeling the effects of sleep deprivation more than men. Unfortunately, many adults accept their lack of sleep as a way of life and turn to caffeine to combat the fatigue they feel during the day. Aiming for at least 7 hours of sleep a night—along with exercise and a balanced diet—will minimize stress.
5. It's good for the heart. When it comes to getting a good night's sleep, there are significant health benefits for people of all ages. Research has shown that consistently skimping on sleep can weaken our immune systems, making us more vulnerable to sickness and disease. Several studies have shown that a lack of sleep, or getting less than 6 hours of sleep a night regularly, can lead to an irregular heart rate as well as higher blood pressure and increased cholesterol levels, which are both risk factors for heart disease. So the next time you try to short yourself on a good night's sleep, think about all the health benefits you're missing by staying awake for that extra hour or two.

Strategies for a Better Night's Sleep

• Maintain a regular bedtime and wake-up schedule
• Establish a regular bedtime routine that includes such things as reading or taking a bath
• Sleep on a comfortable pillow and mattress
• Avoid activities like paying bills or working (even exercise, for some people) right before bedtime
• Maintain a regular exercise schedule

10 Reasons to be Your Own Boss!!!

10 reasons to be your own boss!!!

1) Be there for your family. This is frequently the number one reason for starting a business. Being there for your children, your spouse, or your aging parents... it's so important.

2) Make yourself wealthy. Why would you continue to work on making someone else wealthy when you can use all that hard work toward your own future?

3) Choose your own hours. Work when you want, where you want, for as long as you want. It doesn't get any better than this!

4) Write your own paychecks. You don't ever have to ask for a raise. You work for it. If you need more income, you know exactly what you need to do to get it.

5) Tax Benefits. You'll save thousands in income taxes when you know what you can deduct as business expenses. Check with your accountant!

6) No Commute. Actually, you will have a commute - from your bedroom to your home office (which may even be in your bedroom!). The average working American wastes hours per day sitting in traffic on the way to and from work. No more!

7) Live where you want! You no longer have to worry about being close to your employer. City, suburbs, or mountain home ... it's up to you.

8) Eliminate your overhead. You don't need to rent a big fancy office and furnish it with expensive equipment. It's called your house! A spare room or just some space in an existing room will do.

9) Vacation days whenever you need them! Need a day off? You won't have to "call in" to anyone but yourself. Talk about flexibility!

10) You are the best b.o.s.s you've ever worked for. It shouldn't be any other way!

6 Pack Abs

You can now have the abs you've always wanted in just minutes a day. It doesn't have to be as hard as you think. It may not be easy, but if you'll just get started today you can have the abs
you've always dreamed about!

Lifestyles of the fit and rich

Why are some people fit and rich? What are they doing different? The answer is pretty obvious & goes back to the saying, "to have what most people don't have or be different than most people, you have to do what most people aren't willing to do." Why does one man or woman have a six pack & you have pot belly? Because they are willing to exercise 30 minutes a day, that's right, it can be done in that little of amount of time. They also use portion control, and cut back on the amounts of snacks & sodas they have. It's better to eat 5-6 small healthy meals a day than to eat 3 big meals. And never eat closer to 3 hours before bedtime. That food just sits there looking for places to hide out & form fat pockets.

When you discipline yourself to make your life better, it seems all aspects of life get better. Why is this? It's because when you change one behavior, the others areas of your life have to follow suit to make that change or goal attainable. You have to admit, it's better to be fit & rich!

When you feel good & have extra money, it's easier to enjoy life. Getting winded after walking up a flight of stairs cannot make anyone feel good about themselves. How about choosing between buying a new furnace to heat your house or buying your child braces, that'd be a great decision to have to make wouldn't it. Wouldn't it be nice to have enough money for both, & not have to think twice about it? You don't have to be filthy rich or a fitness model to have a great life, but it is nice to like what you see in the mirror, & be able to splurge a little bit on the extras once in awhile.
