11 Essential Habits For Success

June 29, 2012

We all want to succeed. Whether it’s in losing weight, learning the guitar, speed reading, or starting our own business. For those of us who have tried and failed, success seems elusive. Why is it one person succeeds where another person fails? First and foremost, I believe it is in their mindset. But secondly, I believe that successful people have developed certain habits, either naturally or through research, that the rest of us haven’t stumbled upon yet.

Though I want each of you to succeed in everything you do, I can’t guarantee success. Only you can do that. It starts in your mind, and from there your thoughts take physical form through your actions. Believing in yourself is a necessity! Beyond that, I’ve made a list of some habits to help you set goals and achieve them.

10 Tips For Fighting Anxiety Naturally

June 29, 2012

By 

It’s normal to experience anxiety. Everyone does, from time to time. But, experiencing anxiety for an extended period can be alarming! Unfortunately, many people who suffer from anxiety reach to medicine as its cure without exploring alternatives. While these drugs may help, they are often simply covering up the symptoms, while completing failing to solve the real cause of the problem.

It’s important that we understand that medicine is not always the best solution for conquering anxiety problems.

Instead of dealing with the symptoms, we should be addressing the core of the problem. I’ve put together some healthy tips for conquering anxiety without the use of medication:

How To Wake Up Early: A Closer Look

June 28, 2012

The sun has not caught me in bed in fifty years.  -Thomas Jefferson

Beep. Beep. BEEP.  “Oh no… is it morning already? But I am soooo tired… Just 5 more minutes… Oh, please…” This used to be me, almost every morning – for over a decade.

For a long time, I tried to fight it. “Why wouldn’t this body wake up?!?” I wondered what was wrong with it. So, I went on a mission to fix it. I tried all kinds of stuff. No television, computer, or food two hours before bed. Exercise in the morning. A diet so healthy it would put almost anyone to shame. Now, these are all very important, and they did help – a little. But, on most mornings, I still didn’t want to get up.

Let me clarify that I am not here to discount the volumes of literature on sleep. To the contrary, I urge you to explore it all. In fact, even those things I listed, which didn’t do much for me, work wonders for others. I should mention that there are some very serious sleep disorders that modern medicine is very well equipped to handle – I know several people whose sleep problems improved dramatically after a visit to their doctor.  I am not here to take anything away, but rather, to add something that has worked incredibly well for me. And while I am certain that many others have discovered for themselves what I am about to tell you here, I have never heard it before.
