10 Common conversation mistakes to avoid ​


Not really paying attention 
learn how to pay attention to what people, in fact, are saying.
Do not look at your cellular phone while having a deep discussion. This behaviour could offend and will seem to be rude. This will be one thing that may discourage the vibe of the individual which you are speaking with.
When you pay attention, you'll detect tons of pathways in the discussion. However, stay clear of yes or no questions as they will not offer you much relevant information. In case a person states that they went horse riding along with a few friends last weekend you may as an example ask:
  • Where did you go riding?
  • What did you find the most fascinating about the route?
  • Do you have your own horse?
The person will dive deeper into the topic providing you even more information to deal with and much more paths for you pick from.
 
Questioning to much
In case you ask way too many questions, the conversation can seem like an investigation. Rather try to combine questions with statements. Regarding the discussion above, you might skip questions and rather say:
Yep, it's awesome to just go out with your good friends and unwind over the weekend. We want to arrange fishing with friends sometime.
And afterwards the discussion can progress on from there.

Tightening up
Whenever the normal couple of topics worn down an unpleasant quietness or feeling may emerge. In the event that you're lacking things to say, you may always speak about the present news headlines.
Cultivate your observational skills to pick up fascinating things in your environment. Individuals with great conversation skills will see things which the typical person does not notice. They will then bring this kind of information in to the discussion. They might see and mention a fascinating ring on the other person's finger, or a strange accent in the room. 
Another great way to come up with something intriguing is to lead an interesting life. Concentrate on the favourable things. Never grumble about negative points, instead speak about your journey to some place, or tell a comical story that happened to you By getting studying subjects like psychology or social studies, you can easily bring this knowledge out at the best moments, telling someone something they didn’t know.
This people make an impression on people in a stylish way.

Poor delivery
Some many important points in a discussion is not what one can say, but exactly how one says it. A transformation in these habits can easily create a huge difference since your vocal and body language is an essential part of communication. A few points to consider:
  • Slowing down. Great talkers do not race right into a discussion. These guys use their time when they reflect on a thing and also when they say it aloud. The moment you get stirred up about a thing it's easy to talk faster and even faster. Decreasing your talking and also including a tiny break in between ideas or sentences produces a little of tension and expectancy. People will listen more attentively to exactly what you're pointing out when you behave as if you possess all the time in the world.
  • Talk clearly. Speaking up. Do not fear speaking as loud as you have to so that people to hear you. Talk with feeling. Nobody pays attention for that long if you talk with a dull voice. Select exact words to communicate your specific emotions or ideas. Continuously build your vocabulary and practice communicating as properly as achievable. It will definitely help you create a way using words and permit you to express yourself much more easily.
  • Lack of attention to tone. Regardless of what the situations, learn how to note tone. One method: Right before you talk, stop and breathe. After that communicate just what has to be said.
  • Understand the fundamentals of nonverbal interaction. Bettering your body language will make your delivery a lot more effective. Always keep eye contact to transmit confidence and enthusiasm in engaging with your audience. Read about ow to use nonverbal cues and signals to communicate more effectively and get the reactions you want in The Definitive Book of Body Language. To talk with confidence, one has to take on correct demeanour. 
  • Stay clear of slouching, looking at your watch or looking over your shoulder just as if you are waiting on someone else to arrive. Have appreciation to the person you are talking with and concentrate on that person for the time being. Do not fold your arms or making yourself seem smaller sized than you are. Rather, fill the space they give you, and keep eye contact.
 
Talking more and listening less
Among the important points which people often overlook with conversations, is that it is a two-way thing. As a result, several people make the misstep of making the discussion regarding themselves and not putting in the time to allow the other person contribute his/her own thoughts. Do not disrupt a person when they are telling a story to lead away the focus back to yourself. Find a harmony in between paying attention and speaking. To interact efficiently, first pay attention to exactly what others ought to say. When you pay attention much more than you talk, you open yourself up to learning and compassion—which subsequently assist you achieve more. After that you can give a well thought-out a response that shows you have taken those suggestions into account.
 
The need to being right all the time
Prevent arguing and needing to being right regarding every single subject. When it's your instinct to respond with rage and irritation, wait. Take a deep breath and think about all the simple facts (including those you may not know). Whenever you stop to reflect, you could respond rather than react. 

Speaking about a bizarre or undesirable subject or delighting in malicious talk
If you're at an event or anywhere where you are merely getting to know a few people you may wish to stay clear from a few subjects, e.g. poor health, bad relationships, your trashy job, serial killers, technical language, gossip and more. These kinds of chatter not only damages reputations but additionally wears down trust. Even though it's not meant as being harsh, it may have terrible consequences. Make no place for malicious talk or speculation when you wish to be counted on and respected as a communicator (and also as a person).

​Not contributing to the conversation

You may feel that you have little to contribute to a discussion. However, try. Pay attention and have an interest in what the others are saying. Ask questions. Make relating statements. point out exactly what you think, discuss how you feel. (Always remember that it is at the psychological level which people hook up best.) In case a person shares an experience, open as well and discuss some of your own experiences. Do not stand there nodding and responding with brief sentences.
 
Give One-of-a-kind Compliments
Anyone can pay a general compliment to receive another individual's recognition. Charming people  can truly note others and look further than the facade. This is how they can pay extraordinary compliments. Do the same and aside from charming others, one might also assist them to discover aspects of themselves that they really did not know.
 
One-size-fits-all communication
Whenever you try to interact with a group, you notice that a few of them understand immediately and others need more explaining. People have different needs. Think about the learning types of people you're interacting with and prepare a communication strategy which deals with all of them. Try to check that people have understood your message. It appears like a basic point, however misunderstandings are plentiful and could have awful implications.
Closing Thoughts 
​Create your personalized knowledge-bank by broadening your perspective of fascinating things around the world. Read through the papers and watch your surroundings. Focus on your body language, just how you speak and strive to boost your communication skills.
Communication skills is among the absolute beneficial abilities one may cultivate. Keep in mind to interact making use of both nonverbal and verbal cues, and also to pay attention closely to exactly what others have to say.
 
Take it easy. Conversational skills do not improve overnight . This requires time, practice and the capability to learn at a fast rate through your personal prior experiences. Do not undertake it all at once. You'll only feel overwhelmed and confused and question yourself.
 
As an alternative, choose the 3 vital points which you think needs improving. Deal with these daily for 3-4 weeks. Note the improvement and maintain it. Soon your all new habits will appear automatically the moment you find yourself in a conversation.
 
Relationships and social life make up essential parts of your life, I strongly believe it is well worth starting a lasting adventure of excelling in your social capabilities. It's a quest you will not regret.

​How on earth are you expected to spot any opportunities when you are unclear about what it is you desire to begin with? Except if you find out what it is you're seeking, then just how are you meant to discover it? What is it which I wish to accomplish? Just what does this opportunity appear like?
​When you are crystal clear about what it is you want, and which type of opportunities you will watch out for, have a glance at the following pointers to identify the opportunities which life throws your way:

Remain in a Condition of Preparedness.
Make clear your goals. Knowing goals offers you clarity and assists you concentrate on your vital tasks and top priorities. You have to be looking out for anything which might assist you to accomplish your goals quicker, or more efficient. 

Move Forward Outside Your Comfort Zone.
A lot of the opportunities that life throws in your direction may strain and test you in a range of ways. This implies that they are most likely to be outside from your regular reach, and therefore desire to move outside your comfort zone to make the most. 

The Little Opportunities Matter.
Keep in mind that not all opportunities are alike. It's not the sizing of the opportunity which matters, it's instead just what you do using that opportunity which makes all the difference. You need to be eager and prepared to benefit whenever the moment shows up. 

Things to Stay Away From.
Whenever it involves grabbing the opportunities which come your way, it's vital you stay clear of: Conforming to the masses,
Looking for safety and security and convenience,
Waiting on opportunities to show up,
Contracting doubt, fear of being rejected or fear of making errors,
Gloominess and distrust.

​Conforming will get you to mediocrity. If Warren Buffet confirmed to the masses, would he be a billionaire right now? Also, waiting on opportunities to get to your doorway resembles taking part in the lottery: it may happen, however, for 99.99% of individuals, it never ever will. 

Expect BIG and even BIGGER! The moment you encounter an opportunity, do not expect a little, as this will restrict your potential. As an alternative, expect BIG and EVEN BIGGER! 

Come To Be a People Person
Great opportunities happened through one singular channel, and this channel includes people. People are the resource of the solutions you are looking for. It is not what you know, but rather who you know which matters most.

Questioning every little thing...

Ultimate Healthy Living Bundle 2018
Questioning every little thing.
​
Lot of times opportunities occur to us hidden, sliding right away. In these cases it's not about exploiting the opportunity, it is about "opportunity generation". This is where questions enter the picture. Questioning test you to be innovative, it extends your creative thinking, and motivates you to observe things from another viewpoint.

Act.
Having identified your opportunity, it's now time to make use to your benefit. A lot of times, this includes a level of risk. Test the advantages and disadvantages and after that decide to either act - making the absolute most of this opportunity — or go on without.
SEVERAL YEARS FROM NOW WHEN YOU CONTEMPLATE THE JOURNEY YOU'VE HAD, YOU MIGHT RECOGNIZE THAT WHATEVER YOU HAVE CARRIED OUT BOILS DOWN TO THE CHOICES YOU HAVE MADE. WILL YOU BE SAYING "OH WELL" OR "WHAT IF?"

But too muсh ѕtrеѕѕ оvеr too lоng a period оf time can hаvе nеgаtivе соnѕеԛuеnсеѕ on our рhуѕiсаl аnd emotional wеll-bеing.

With thаt in mind, Hеrе аrе a few of my top ѕtrеѕѕ mаnаgеmеnt tесniԛuеѕ:

1. Do somePersonal Reflection to Identify thе саuѕеѕ оf уоur ѕtrеѕѕ.
Tаkе a ѕtер bасk аnd look at whаt'ѕ саuѕing уоur stress. Liѕt уоur ѕtrеѕѕоrѕ out in order оf biggеѕt еffесt tо ѕmаllеѕt. Idеntifу thе tор оnе, аnd take it on first. One can make use of astress journal or  downloadable worksheets to make this task much easier.

2. Brеаthing еxеrсiѕеѕ helps trеmеndоuѕlу
Irrеgulаr brеаthing, ѕwеаting, асhеѕ аnd раinѕ, ѕlоw metabolism are some of the rеасtiоnѕ оur bоdiеѕ encounter during timеѕ оf ѕtrеѕѕ. We have tо deal with these reactions in a physical wау because thеѕе аrе аll рhуѕiсаl in nаturе. Onе рhуѕiсаl method iѕ brеаthing еxеrсiѕеѕ. Breathing exercises can hеlр уоur bоdу hаvе a rеvеrѕе rеасtiоn tо thеѕе stress ѕуmрtоmѕ. Whаt thаt means is these еxеrсiѕеѕ соntrоlѕ thе flоw of oxygen in уоur body and diѕtributеѕ it еvеnlу thrоughоut. It аlѕо takes уоur mind оff оf thе ѕtrеѕѕful ѕituаtiоn bу fосuѕing your аttеntiоn on thе brеаthing.
Yоu саn fосuѕ уоur аttеntiоn on соunting уоur breathing. Brеаth slow and deep, rеlаxing уоur ѕtоmасh. Brеаth еvеnlу kеерing a slow аnd ѕtеаdу rhythm аnd соntinuе it аll through thе length оf thе еxеrсiѕе. Prасtiсе thiѕ еnоugh аnd you can соntrоl уоur breathing inѕtаntlу during times of stress. This will hеlр уоu relax аnd alleviate ѕоmе of thе negative еffесtѕ in уоur bоdу.

​3. Relax your mind with some downtime / mеditаtiоn
Anоthеr great way tо асhiеvе stress mаnаgеmеnt is through mеditаtiоn. Now meditation dеаlѕ оn thе mеntаl rаthеr thаn thе рhуѕiсаl. Thiѕ iѕ whеrе thе оld saying "Mind Over Bоdу" kiсkѕ in. Mеditаtiоn gеtѕ уоur mind tо fосuѕ оn a single thought and rеlаx.
The аrt оf meditation iѕ vеrу old and hаѕ been uѕеd for сеnturiеѕ. People practice mеditаtiоn fоr diffеrеnt things thеir livеѕ ѕuсh аѕ dеаling with wоrk, focusing оn tаѕkѕ, оr simply tо rеlаx thе mind tо kеер lifе in balance.
 
4. Aѕk for hеlр. Wе аll gеt оvеrwhеlmеd frоm timе tо timе. If you're having diffiсultу gеtting a handle оn thingѕ, talk to someone. Family and friends mау hаvе a реаrl оf wisdom or two tо ѕhаrе, оr maybe just аn еаr tо listen. If уоu fееl likе уоur ѕtrеѕѕ iѕ ѕtаrting tо affect уоur hеаlth, a viѕit to your GP may bе in оrdеr.There аrе specialists ѕuсh аѕ  рѕусhiаtriѕtѕ that саn bе a big hеlр during stressful times. Thе ѕресiаliѕt саn hеlр you identify аnd ассерt your рrоblеmѕ thаt саuѕе you ѕtrеѕѕ аnd hеlр you find роѕѕiblе ѕоlutiоnѕ. Thеу саn help dеtеrminе thе рrоblеm аrеаѕ and hеlр уоu find a ѕuitаblе solution whiсh you might nоt bе able tо recognize by уоurѕеlf.

Dеаling with ѕtrеѕѕ is vеrу ѕtrеѕѕful. However, with a rеlаxеd mind аnd the proper techniques, уоu саn tаkе соntrоl оf уоur life and nоt lеt ѕtrеѕѕ соntrоl you.

How To Unlock Opportunity to Achieve One's Goals - PART ONE

9/10/2018

0 Comments

 

Opportunity

Opportunity. All of us love that word. It is a term which encourages hope, and also a thing we could wish upon making our daily lives much better.Have you dealt with an issue which in fact offered you with a possibility to figure out, learn and also progress in a far better manner? We've all been there where we missed on the genuine opportunities which life provides us with. Opportunity is surrounding us.
Picture

Most of us, permit opportunity slip by each day since we are inexperienced or perhaps not aware of the indicators which life throws our way.
Individuals lose out on amazing opportunities every single day. They strive to accomplish their goals and to undermine their personal success because they forget the possibilities which life sends their way.

Whilst reading throughThe Warren Buffett Way  it occurred to me that this successful entrepreneur made billions of dollars because of his extraordinary capability to identify opportunities. What separated him from others was his desire to take chances on the possibilities which came his way. Choosing Warren buffett as our mentor regarding opportunity, I would love to go over ways to deal with finding and taking the opportunities which daily life throws your way. 


The Definition Of Opportunity

What is an opportunity? An opportunity is anything which offers one with a possibility to transform your situation for the better. We experience actual opportunities just like the sales people which knock on our door in the evening. We do not wish to open the door since they irritate us, or perhaps we are too afraid to say 'no' the moment these guys ask us a question. Genuine opportunities are the ones which we do not see.

​They drop by at the absolute most unpredicted moments. We are so consumed with various other distractions we miss out on most of opportunity which occurs across our route. 
Whenever we see opportunities, we deal with them like we deal with the sales people — using a negative mindset since a lot of the opportunities we encounter are in fact camouflaged as troubles or difficult work. We observe our troubles as "issues", instead of challenges which test and boost our willpower. It is so crucial to cultivate an opportunistic frame of mind to find opportunity in life's stumble blocks. One's mindset decides on whether that opportunity will make one's live much better or otherwise.

​The second you change your viewpoint and view your troubles as challenges, you teach your mind to identify opportunities.
 A challenge is, nothing greater than an opportunity for improvement. To gain knowledge, discover something or to make progression and develop.

The Opportunistic State of mind

​
​The Opportunistic State of mind  There are essential qualities which separate an individual such as Warren Buffett from other folks which have a hard time to use the opportunities which life throws their way. Also, it is these kinds of qualities which we need to pay attention to growing each day.
​
  • Inquisitiveness: Opportunity needs an inquisitive mind which is asking greater and more informative questions.
  • Kindness: Opportunity wants a generous heart, offering possibilities to others.
  • Determination: Opportunity desires a person which has perseverance, which will keep continuing regardless of the overwhelming challenges which stand within their way.
  • Self-confidence: Opportunity needs a confident disposition — a person who never ever questions their capabilities, stamina, sources, and skills.
  • A positive outlook: Opportunity needs a positive mindset which does not waver astray in case factors do not happen as expected.
  • A sense of fun: Opportunity preferences a light-hearted  approach; someone who will give up traditional guidelines.
  • Responsibility: Opportunity needs someone dedicated and in charge of their choices, actions, and behaviour — an individual which does not make justifications or even throw fault on others.
  • Wisdom: Opportunity needs a person which can view further than this short-lived minute to the future. This "somebody" recognizes that what could appear like a dilemma may be a once in a life-time opportunity.
  • Appreciation: Opportunity wants an appreciative spirit ready for just about anything which life throws their way, regardless of just how grim or dark it may seem to be outward.

5 Simple Ways to Change Your Life With The Law Of Attraction (Learn This)

“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.” - Rumi

Johanna, a college student from Kuala Lumpur, had been struggling to finish her studies. She was living in a dorm with other students, and had trouble making ends meet. Johanna was on a scholarship which meant she needed to keep her grades high while working part-time to support her living expenses. Strapped for time and resources, she barely got by and started feeling burnt out. If Johanna wasn't hitting the books, she was working. 

Everything started to become a blur and she was losing motivation to keep going. 

It got so bad that Johanna even thought about telling her parents she couldn't do it anymore and drop out from college. But then a classmate from her philosophy class introduced her to the Law of Attraction. Jacques, a foreign exchange student from Canada, had been reading up on it and applied it in his own life. According to him, it had helped him manifest a solution to his own problems. 

He had lived in an abusive home growing up, and Jacques leaned how to shift his thinking and perspective to change his circumstances. Johanna wasn't sure at first what to make of it, but she took Jacques word for it and started applying its principles in her own life. After she made a shift in her own mindset and attitude, Johanna started to experience some positive changes.

She eventually quit her part-time job and found another one with better pay and hours which helped with her living expenses.  It also helped free up her time, so she managed to study AND start a side income project selling items online. Johanna ended up growing her side business so much that she got Jacques to help her manage it. By the end of the academic year, she had turned into a completely different person. 

​
Johanna was no longer the depressed, burned out student from before. She had become a self-sufficient student and even made the dean's list!

The Power of Changing Your Focus

Sometimes, we get so discouraged that we feel powerless to change our situation.

Like Johanna, we fall into a FIXED mindset where we think things will stay the same and we can't do anything about it. But the only way to break out of this negative spiral is by changing your INNER world. This is the key to influencing your external world so you can move forward in life.

In a nutshell, the Law of Attraction is a way of living that requires you to change your frequency. When you do this, the Universe will pick up your signal and your life will change for the better. As for the frequency I mentioned, this is basically the vibration of energy that your mind gives off. 

You can either operate at a high or low vibration, and each type will give you a specific result. Most people don't realize they're giving off low frequency energy, which is actually making their situation worse.

The main problem is when you attach your emotions to your external circumstances. 

For instance, it's easy to feel bad when you're broke. And naturally, it's just as easy feel the opposite if you had money in the bank.

Similarly, seeing other people in a happy, romantic relationship will make you bitter and angry if you're single.

And so on…

I'm not saying it's wrong to feel bad about things like that. However, you shouldn't use your circumstances (and how you FEEL about them) as an excuse to STOP trying.

People fail to realize that NOT doing anything about their situation will only make them feel WORSE. And this further traps them in a vicious cycle of negativity and inaction.

Thus, the Law of Attraction will help you install a more positive attitude in your consciousness. 

This keeps your mind from being overrun by negativity - and more importantly, give you the leverage to BREAK FREE from your situation.

With some practice, your thoughts and actions will effortlessly work together to attract positive circumstances in your life.
​

But where should you start? Here are some ways to put the Law of Attraction into action and start creating massive changes:


#1: Share Your Gifts to the World

The Bible talks about the power of giving, and how it outweighs the benefits of getting.

But no matter what your faith or beliefs are, it helps to think of generosity on a LARGER SCALE.

Giving is more than just a virtue - it's a type of cosmic currency.

When you perform acts of kindness or share your resources for no other reason than WANTING TO, you're putting this currency into circulation.

And soon enough, this positive energy you send into the world will find its way back to you.

You won't get it in the same form, but it will come around, one way or another.

I know that sometimes, giving feels like the LAST thing you want to do - especially when your own life is lacking in some capacity.

Why bother extending yourself when you've got enough to worry about for yourself?

But that's exactly the point. 

Giving - even when you THINK you can't - will prove that this is a FALSE perception.

Let your acts of generosity serve as a reminder to everyone that in spite of everything, life IS and will ALWAYS be abundant. 

Trust in the infinite energy of the Universe and tune into its unique frequency. 

Your selflessness is the key to that. A generous attitude raises the quality of the vibrations you send out into the world.

Escaping the scarcity mindset and the fear of not having enough is one of the most liberating things you can do. 

By doing so, you're FREE to improve the lives of others - and yours in the process.

#2: Stop hanging out with losers

I don't mean to sound judgmental, but there are people in your life that will try to drag you down, whether they're aware of it or not. 

You should avoid them at all costs.

People in a bad situation will try to feel better about themselves by spreading their toxic way of thinking to others.

They pull others down with their hurtful words, or convince them that they're not good enough.

Instead of doing something about their own situation, it's easier to go down this dark path and take everyone else with them. 

And the Law of Attraction states that when you focus on something, the Universe will feed you more of the SAME.

So the good news is that you can choose to avoid this downward spiral and get on another path instead. 

This is why you need to be careful about the company you keep. Choose the people that can share their constructive energy with you.

If their attitude, mindset and words lift you up, you know you're in the right place. 

Their energy is contagious, and you'll naturally raise your own frequency and attract only good things in your life.

As for toxic people, I know there are times when you simply can't avoid them. 

They could be family, friends, or co-workers - and you might be even living with some of them.

It's a challenge for sure, but do your best not to let their negative energy get to you. 

You don't have to butt heads with them and simply respond with positivity.

If you're in a conversation with them, try to frame it in a healthy, positive way so you don't get sucked into their toxic field of gravity.

You don't have to change their mind; just take the “agree to disagree” route and leave it at that.

Who knows, your own energy might “rub off” on their consciousness. They might even think about what you told them and re-evaluate their own perspective.

#3: Get out from under the grind

We all have our lives to lead, and that means falling into a routine.

Now, don't get me wrong - having structure in your life is important and even necessary.

At a basic level, we need it to function on a daily basis. Incorporating helpful habits into your everyday routine is a GOOD thing.

However, there is a danger in being TOO embedded in it and shutting yourself off to trying NEW things.

Sticking too closely to your routine could make you afraid of the unfamiliar and uncomfortable - and hinder your GROWTH in the process.

So if you want to attract new and exciting things into your life, you should carve out some room for that. 

Doing things that help you grow ALWAYS has a place in a well-balanced life. A stable, healthy routine is the best way to avoid a soul-crushing existence.

What are the things that inspire you? 

Outside of your usual chores and duties, what gives you a sense of fulfillment - even if it doesn't pay the bills?

People usually shoot down any desire for this because they're afraid they “don't have enough time.”

But you'll see just how flimsy that excuse is once you actually take the plunge and spend that time you didn't think you had.

In as little as half an hour, you could engage in a fulfilling pursuit. Find (or rekindle) a hobby, take up an online course or watch free videos.

Let it energize your senses, inspire you to greatness and empower you to create something wonderful in this world.

More than that, you can acquire knowledge to advance you in some way, like learning a skill, for example. 

I recently came across a post on Twitter that made me smile. 

It said: “There's too much free information online for y'all not be crushin it in whatever field.”

Use your precious time to invest in a better you and express yourself through your passions.

Don't worry about the “if”s and “how”s. Just get started with something now, and the rest of your life will adjust to it. 

You won't know what new avenues will open up UNTIL you get the ball rolling, 

#4: Quiet your mind

Meditation is one habit that goes very well with practicing the Law of Attraction.

When you learn how to control your thoughts (instead of the other way around), you're in the best position to manifest the things you want.

A lot of people find it challenging to keep their thoughts above water when they're flooded with negative emotions. 

With meditation, you can take a step back and remove yourself from a situation in a healthy way.

There are books, free content online and mobile apps that can help you with this. 

For instance, I just tried out the Insight app on my phone which is kind of like the YouTube equivalent for meditation. 

You can search by a specific person or channel, or even topics like easing anxiety, anger management, and so on.

This is a low-maintenance habit which will only take about 10-15 minutes daily. You could even spend five minutes if you're really strapped for time!

This basically works by sitting down on the floor (or a chair) and closing your eyes. 

The idea is to take slow, measured breaths and pay attention to the physical sensations you're feeling at the moment.

Are your muscles tense? Is your heart beating quickly from the stress you're currently experiencing? 

These are some of the things to be mindful of as you breathe in and out. If any other thoughts enter your mind, don't resist it. 

Don't chase after them and just let it pass. Then you can go back to focusing on the rhythm of your breath.

Take this time to focus on the feelings of love, health, success and prosperity.

In other words, the things you want to ATTRACT. 

Concentrate your attention on inhaling and exhaling. Once you've calmed your mind enough, you're ready visualize the things you want to manifest in life.

This will have a powerful effect on your subconscious and put you on the path towards your goals.

And that brings us to the last life-changing habit…

#5: Affirmations

Muhammad Ali, one of the greatest boxers in history, was known for saying, “What you're thinking is what you're becoming.” 

Indeed. 

That attitude helped him become what he was, and it will serve you well, too.

Most of the time, people don't pay attention to the kind of thoughts they hold in their heads. 

Left unchecked, they often feed into a toxic narrative they have about themselves without realizing it.

Like I said earlier, what you put in your subconscious affects you.

The things you tell yourself are like seeds you plant in your mind and they'll grow over time. Those same thoughts will express themselves in your actions and the choices you make.

So, you need to be careful which seeds you plant. 

Joseph Murphy, author of the book, “The Power of the Subconscious Mind”, tells us that this part of your mind can't distinguish which thoughts are real or imagined.

As far as it's concerned, your subconscious will treat it as FACT whether it's happening in the physical world or NOT.

Thus, people don't just operate on these subconscious beliefs. Without being aware of it, they're turning their thoughts into reality. 

And it WILL happen - one way or another.

The perception you have about yourself is largely influenced by the people you had around while growing up.

Their input - whether good or bad - left a mark on your subconscious that's hard to shake off. 

And this programming kicks in whenever you make decisions and it dictates how you respond to tough times.

This inner dialogue can act as your inner voice of confidence and self-assurance… 

…or as in most people's cases, it's the voice of fear and self-doubt. 

You might think you're not good enough or smart enough because you couldn't stop the bad things from happening. 

You curse yourself for messing things up, then blame it on some pre-assigned character defect. 

Usually, it's in the form of labels like “Loser”, “Hopeless Case”, “Slacker”, “Weirdo” and so on.

But remember, these labels only have as much power over as you ALLOW it.

You can apply the Law of Attraction to change this inner chatter and rewire your mind for success instead.

It's impossible to attract wealth, abundance and happiness if you're focused on putting yourself down. 
You can do the opposite by using encouraging statements that will empower you to take action.

When you improve the quality of your thoughts, it's as if your circumstances will rearrange itself on their own. 

These changes will seem to happen without doing much on your part. But the truth is that you're already doing the heavy lifting by disciplining your mind.

Starting today, you can apply these five tips I've just shared with you to create ripples of change in your life. 

The more you practice them, the bigger waves will result from your efforts. I hope you make use of this knowledge and empower yourself for greatness.

Before I go, there's ONE MORE gift I'd like to share with you…

It's called the Manifestation Breakthrough Kit, and for a limited time I'm offering it totally FREE of charge. 

You can combine this kit with the tips you just learned to get even BETTER results.
