On a Personal note today. I hit on something I have to share with you.

My husband Jason and I have recently moved to LI in NY. Your one of the lucky ones if you know what those abreviations mean.

Hiding right outside one of the most frantic environments in the world - is a sweet little vacation spot known as Long Island.

Well lets get back to the great piece of information i happened on yesterday night.

Who else goes shopping on almost a daily basis. I'm not talking about a full on new waredrobe kinda thing, you might just pick up some milk from the store.

I don't want to sell you anything here, but i do want to share a bit of marketing thats so basic it just slipped under my radar as being anything significant...

It's called a BOGO offer.

I saw this question put out by Mr. Bencivenga see if you can guess which of the 3 offers pulled the best...

1. 50% off
2. Half off
3. Buy one Get one free

I was blown away. Total simplicity. I have bought into this offer so many times unknowingly. Of course #3 outpulled by 40%. But its the exact same offer.

Not only does it outpull, but you as the buyer think your luckin' out. When really you are buying twice as much. An awesome technique to test in any campaign.

I speak quite often about relief from life through energetic practices, but if you think about it.

- The more your marketing improves on the front end. The less stress you deal with later, and the more time you get to spend enhancing the rest of your life.

Not only do I wish you peace of mind but also freedom from limitation.

“You get what you ask for.” I emphasized with a smile as my husband Jason and I stood in line at a local bagel shop.

The air was permeated with the sweet and spicy odors of maple and onion mingling among the other baked goodies.

Everyone has been in a consumer situation, its nothing new… Now compare your experience to what you have learned about the ever advancing manifestation process.

Never had it been as obvious to me as it was that morning at the Bagel shop.

You will get exactly what you order so be specific, be clear and be quick about it.

If you don’t say toasted you won’t get toasted, so the lesson from the universe that morning was clear for me and Jason.

Be clear and be specific.

Often times we students of manifestation want and desire and have come to a basic understanding of creation.

You know it works, you’ve seen it in action.

You may use a 12 step, a five step, a three step or even a one step method to transfer your desire from nothing but positive reinforced thoughts to actual material apparitions.

You’re not a beginner and I know from experience when you get to this point where you’re sharing your lessons and successes with friends and family – learning slows as your focus changes.

Be aware, be open, and look around constantly. Your new found ability will truly astound you. The realization of constant creation is almost too much as you look for the reflection of every form of desire around you. Things you wanted, noticed on TV, fleeting thoughts appear around you every second.

As you notice more of these externalizations of little internal bits of consciousness -your awareness of just how vast your creative energy is will further expand your ability.

You realize that your ability to create is infinite and it’s just as easy to control as ordering a French toast bagel toasted with butter to-go. ^_^

So now you know your power to create, and how to grow your ability by simply expanding your awareness. Watch more of your world everyday, step back from time to time and just look at what you’re creating.

Now that you can see your creations fleeting by you, every second, minute, and hour – you can make the most of your energy.

No longer are you dragged along by what seems an uncontrollable happening.

Realize you’re just standing in line in that busy little bagel shop, and like it or not – you get exactly what you order. So begin to create consciously and understand, “you get what you ask for” regardless of whether you wanted it or not…

This is a wonderful method I love to use daily to keep myself open and cheery. It may seem strange to most men - having more fear of open expression and letting go. Sorry guys, this may be hard for you but I recommend giving it a try if you are brave.

As strange as it sounds there are millions of people now, and throughout history that have used this freeing method.

It works to treat: stiffness, melancholy, anger, frustration, sickness, loneliness, and many other symptoms.

Here it is:

First find your favorite cd, or grab your iPod and find a quiet place to be alone.

You will find you can be more open and honest with yourself when you can be secluded with no one around. You feel free of judgment and thus more expressive.

Stand in the center of the room, and start your music. Take a deep breath and let go. Forgive yourself, embrace your day and think about the wonder that fills your life. If you are sad the mind loves to remind you how little you have. Even millionaires suffer depression, so do the greatest minds in history.

The point is that these states of emotion are uncontrollable as natural cycles.
But the mind reacts and tries to analyze this lack of control. Placing ego and thought in an unnatural place - the heart.

Feelings and the heart are aspects of a basic universal communication. Constantly received and transmitted through you conducive form.

Let them flow...

Leave control out of your dealings with the heart. That is why most people seem to have lost emotions and are incapable of love. They try to employ and apply logic and the mind to matters of the wild heart.

Emotions cannot be forced they have to be allowed. You must be left open to whatever comes from following an open heart. This is very difficult for most people, because they fear being hurt. Whether they have been before or not, they fear.

Be willing to be open.

Now back to the exercise.

You are all alone.

You have put on your favorite music.

Now give in to this abandon of emotion, and start to move.

Let the music move you.

There is not set movement as long as you are moving. Circulating energy and emotion thereby increasing life. Your life.

Now release. Let go of everything you have been holding captive inside. All those stressors that have clogged your heart and chest. Feel them lift off your spinning swaying form.

Feel your connection to the supportive ground. With every foot fall feel the energy holding you up strong and firm like your unbeatable spirit.

Release 'til you are content, smiling, and empowered. Free.

I hope this technique has helped you like it helps me. ^_^

I have to share something important with you.

I really got hurt today. Someone I thought was a friend and a professional threw a lot of negitivity and slander my way.

What's the natural reaction? To be hurt, to get angry, to react and fight back.

I am here - now - going to tell you the best thing to do. Stop.

Breathe and clear your mind.

Remember peacefully that you are not what other people think you are... when have others opinions about you ever been correct?

Why would you let some judgemental person effect the way you feel about yourself?

Energy studies and cultivation practice teaches us that there are two kinds of energy filling your body. Pure white energy which evolves you and makes you stronger and black energy or Karma.

The first of the two (the pure white energy) exists to be developed and nurtured through positive lifestyle changes, spiritual practices, and the elimination of Karma. It can also be exchanged for Karma which I'll explain later...

This secondary black substance on the other hand is collected and accumulated over a lifetime. By our negitive and hurtful actions, harming others, and focusing on our own problems obsessively we grow this blackness in ourselves.

In most cases like I mentioned earlier we can exchange our white energy for this dark substance when we harm other.

Imagine hitting someone - drastic i know - but when you do this you are actually transferring your white energy away through your fist.

At the same time you fill that open space with more black energy.

It is the same with words and actions against other and ourselves. Many more people are self distructive then are offensive.

Take notice of your own life. Everything you say and do effects someone you come into contact with everyday. You can hurt someone just as easily as give them the best day of your life.

You may look back and see that you have caused much damage, things that might make it hard for you to forgive yourself or others.

I will start by giving you this. You are constantly - every instant - creating who you are. As well as creating the world around you.

Not even your eyes which view this beautiful world are the same from this moment to the next. They are composed of cells constantly moving, millions of parts that are never the same twice in one lifetime.

So you are constantly viewing a new world with new eyes. Fantastic isn't it.

In the same way, you are not the person you were yesterday, today. It is your choice to live as that person or to live as someone new and different.

This life is yours, live it for you. Many people will try to bring up the past or try to compare thier experience to yours thinking they know best.

Remember their experience is thiers, and no matter how similar they can never be you experiencing your life.

Thank them. Thank these people that hurt you.

I know it's hard and a little confusing at first, but here's why...

When you get hurt by someone else. They are transferring this white high energy matter to you but at the same time eliminating a little of your Karma or dark energy.

This may be hard to understand.

Just give it a try. The next time someone hurts you, sit alone and clear your mind.

Close your eyes and picture that person sitting in a chair across from you. Now thank them.

Thank them for eliminating more of that dark energy in you, making you more light and pure more alive. You will almost immediately feel different perhaps even a little better.

Now you can even say a prayer for this person, think of good blessings you would want for yourself, and send them to this person.

Remember thoughts attract things, if you give anger you will receive anger. On the other hand if you give blessings and compassion that is what you will get in return.

Don't let other negative people control your mind, your feelings and your life.

Starting today. Love yourself and treat others better, because what goes around will come back around.

I hope something here will help you as it has helped me.

I have been reading through my books on abundance lately and found the perfect exercise. The method mentioned below left me with a fantastic feeling that "all good things are on the way".

After a few minutes I felt the peace of clarity that had been escaping me for years. No seminar or guru could mimic the feeling I got after trying this simple little exercise.

First it is important to know that the universe wants to give you what you want. It listens to your emotions more then your words and it does not respond to the opposite. The universe will create for you what you think most about. So think about what you want not what you don't want.

This little exercise will help you to think more positively and become clearer.

Don't try to dismiss or ignore negative thoughts when they come. When you give them attention or emotions like anger this just empowers your negative and destructive thoughts.

Negative thoughts may come but don't loose hope, one positive thought outweighs 100 of its negative counterparts. When these bad thoughts come along do this; say the opposite - out loud if you can. For example: "I don't have enough money." becomes “I have an abundance of money in my life."

You have fantastic tools available to you right now. You can think of what you want and empower it with light. Do it now think of what you want - the beautiful image.

Now think of the reasons why you CAN'T have it. Write it out on a chalkboard then erase it.(this one worked great for me) But you can try other ways to distort the words : stretch them, make them smaller, fade out, see them drift off into the static of an television screen. Do this with all the reasons you can't have this specific thing you want.

Now think of a reason you CAN have this thing you want. See the words in your mind - encircle and empower the words with white light. Hear the words being spoken by the beautiful voice of someone you love.

Now picture that thing you want. See yourself drawn closer to it. You can feel it, make the image bigger. Place yourself inside this imagining. Bring yourself into it. You can see it, smell it, taste and touch it.

By making the negative thoughts smaller you take away their power. Also by making the positive image of what you want bigger and more vivid you increase it's speed and ability to manifest in your reality.

I hope you have read something here that helps in making your dreams a reality as it has mine.

I was reading a book recently with my husband Jason concerning healing with the power of sound. It also covered the ways sounds affect the world and the mind as well as the body.

Something was mentioned and it caused a real moment of realization to me. Perhaps it will have the same benefits for you...

We are talking about the statement "I Am"

Not strictly speaking about the religious mention or use of this statement. All holy books aside... Manifestation marketers and self improvement types alike have always spoken of affirmations. Often using the statement "I Am" specifically.

Their explanation :( in short) Believe you are, before you are. The can be affirmations like "I am rich", "I am happy", "I am a millionaire".

Those are some of the more popular affirmations, but it's enough to give you a picture.

For many sane people this is a hard concept to grasp. - Thinking we are already something that we are not but desperately want. This method if you do not have complete trust and faith can actually have adverse effects.

We say and do everything we are told but nothing happens at least not right away. Then we get frustrated, depressed and down. This makes it even harder to get on the computer and stay strong day after day.

I knew there had to be more to it. I had to understand why, thinking this would give way to a deeper understanding and hopefully subconscious working of these "affirmations".

Upon studying quantum theories and natural laws I discovered more about the creation of everything in our lives then one would consider humanly possible.

Even before modern science as we know it, we see mentions of thoughts and vocalization to make manifest in most ancient philosophies. Proof has been written and engraved in stone on the walls of previously buried temples from America to Egypt to Japan.

The more you learn about how these affirmations work, the more your world begins to fall into place. With all doubt removed the universe finds a way. So do your research and you will discover that blind faith can actually see. ^_^

Back to my recent discovery...

I have recently learned a piece of information the made all the "I am" affirmations make sense, and not only that... now they work.

To put it shortly the "I am" part of the statement refers to the presence or existence of God or the divine energy in you.

Then whatever is stated afterward specifically is what the god energy is intentioned to accomplish.

For example "I am Wealth" means” God in me exists and expresses itself as wealth"

This little explanation was all my thinking mind needed to be able to use this incredible statement.

Now everyday:

• "I am healthy"
  

• "I am wealthy"
  

• "I am protected"
  

• And "I am prosperous"
  

I hope this helps you as it has helped me.

One of the biggest causes of frustration and disappointment in our daily lives is shared with a majority of the people on this planet.

It can be something big and encompass the entirety of our lives. Or it can be as small and seemingly unimportant as what happened before breakfast this morning.

Everyday we are confronted by what we want to do, and what we think we have to do.

Ours brains exist in a confused state of hyperactivity, jumping to the first answer or priority. Day in and day out it perseverates, repeating each "what I have to do" default many times. This is what scientists refer to as the beta mind state.

You are a machine - take into account for a second that this idea is not all that ridiculous. Imagine that your body is a machine; many medical practitioners will tell you it is. Fine tuned and put simply you feed or fuel it and it operates automatically.

Getting you where you need to go on a daily basis. Just like breathing, listen carefully... your mind also defaults to a mechanical autopilot.

Everyday you are bombarded with activities that require your attention while you are doing other things. Women are especially good at what you would call multitasking. ^_^

While you are trying to do two things at once imagine that out of those two things - one of them would be a lesser "drone" activity.

For example you are driving and having a conversation with the person in the passenger seat next to you. "The Robot”: that automatic part of your mind is handling the driving, using your body of course. While you - your awareness - is focused on having a pleasant conversation.

I know you have been in this situation before, and you will most likely experience it again.

Here is where you can get proof what I am saying is true.

You are in the car, the robot is driving and you are speaking with a friend sitting in the passenger seat. If there is an obstruction, near accident, or anything out of the ordinary - the robot instantly moves aside and puts you in the driver seat.

It is almost immediate and the transition is so smooth you will hardly notice. But there it is, and if you are looking for it, you will find it.

Your body is a machine; living, breathing, pumping blood and sharing the experiences of your individual cells with your mind.

Also your mind is a machine; splitting your daily tasks so your conscious mind does not become overwhelmed.

In short when you are in a normal everyday beta mind state you are a robot barely living your own life.

No wonder most people live each day with some feeling of incompleteness or dissatisfaction.

You have trained your mind through a lifetime of repetitive actions to takeover all the daunting tasks so your thinking mind is able to take in more information.

Thus you continually learn and program yourself to leave more and more to the robot.

So much of your everyday experience is handed over unconsciously to be handled by your robot.

Now what about you?

Where do you - the one reading this - fit in?

Don't draw the assumption that the robot is foreign or evil. In fact, your life would be more confusing and overwhelming if suddenly the robot disappeared. Your mind would go into shock having to handle every little daily activity.

Here's what you can do:

Little by little take back your life, tell the robot "I acknowledge your presence, but I would like to take the driver seat now, I can handle this so step aside."

Then notice the small shift in awareness, concentration and focus. You are brought to the forefront of your own experience so pay attention.

If you are driving you will be driving, notice the way the wheel feels in you hands, you will move your feet according to what your signals your eyes receive. You will really begin to notice how much you miss when you let the robot control everyday.

The more you take your life back, and become aware of your mental and physical experience; the more clarity you will have.

Then you can move into purpose.

The big thing to focus on first is living every moment of your life.

This will help you have more clarity in your life. Which all by itself will fill each day with fascination and appreciation for all the little things.

Do this and you will find yourself smiling more everyday, and maybe even discovering you’re all elusive purpose or sense of self.

Also with your new clear awareness, your mind will slowly begin to change its conscious state. You will begin to feel collected and more in touch with a kind of higher guidance.

You will start to acknowledge what you want to do with clarity, and not what you think you should do or have to do.

I hope you have read something here that will help you feel more joy in your life.

There are times that apparently bad things happen. We don't understand why or what the cause of these events are.

Some religious people will tell you it’s Gods plan or punishment. Others will say we create all the events in our lives even the bad ones.

Still more will tell you it is the divine guidance system of the universe, "the great agenda."

The point is the why is not important. The how is not important.

The past is nonexistent with the exception of our own minds where we continue to suffer through the visual recreation of the ugly event over and over again.

Why continue to allow your negative memories to ruin your present experience? If you were free of the reoccurring negative past, only then can you truly begin to see the present world you inhabit un-jaded.

When you live in your mistakes and bad memories, you are seeing every new miraculous day through the dirty filter of your past.

That makes it hard to just be happy doesn't it? Even when the stars are bright and everything is going your way.

You just can't escape the memories that become the basis for the comparison of every new and beautiful experience.

First give yourself clarity, just know that it doesn't have to be this way. You can be free, you can be forgiven.

Admit that you don't want to feel this way. You’re tired of feeling wrong. Tired of feeling angry. Tired of feeling sad.

Just know you don't want to feel this way anymore.

Here is a very simple "visualization" exercise to be rid of the negative memory forever.

Remember this so you can close your eyes to get the full effect and focus.

1. Find a quiet spot to sit or lie down

2. Close your eyes and take a couple very slow deep breaths (deep relaxed breathing is one of the most ancient and effective ways to stay healthy)

3. See the empty blackness of the back of you eyelids, feel the closeness of this comforting and restful darkness.

4. Pull your mind back slowly imagining the blackness becoming larger around you.

5. Now picture a television, one of the old models with knobs (if your old enough to remember ^_^)

6. Think of that bad memory or event and see it playing itself out in real-time on the small television in front of you. All the people involved and just small characters on the little screen.

7. Now i want you to reach out and grab the tuning knobs, feel your fingers grasping the small circular knobs that control the vertical, the horizontal, the static.

8. Turn the knobs; distorting the picture of your negative memory on the screen. Stretch it. Fade it. Change the hue, the speed, the pitch of the voices.

Something that has helped me is tuning the knobs until there is nothing left on the screen but empty static.

Give it a try.

It is easy for those around us to say, just let go of the negative memory. Get over it, and move on.

But for those of us in the experience… attached to it… reliving it for years. It's not like we want to feel that way, at least not consciously.

Make the decision to change the way you feel.

Now you have at least one method to be free of the past negative memory. I hope it helps and you find freedom, and peace.

Namaste

The next bit of information you are about to receive is both miraculous and dangerous. First you must keep in mind we all share a world that is beautiful and miserable, magical and logical.

Guru's will call this power many things: instant manifestation, the power of prayer, a 5 or 3 step process to create your desires, the secret of success.

Spiritual masters say that enlightenment can happen in an instant or like the blooming of a lotus flower. The same can be said of realizations, and learning.

As you read a book on any subject you will have moments that you stop reading just long enough to say "Ah ha!" or "Wow, that's how that works" or "that's why that happens!"

When you first look at a new math equation and it makes no sense, then later after you learn the process, you can look at the same equation again and you not only understand it you can solve it.

The point I am trying to make is this: There is a point where something is gained from any knowledge. First you are ignorant, and then you inquire, next you realize, now you have the power of that knowledge and can apply it to your world.

People will sell you courses and charge you thousands of dollars to beat around the bush and flush out the truth I am about to tell you.

I have used this method that consists of only 2 words to create anything I want usually within 24 hours if not instantly.

I have told these words to very a very few close friends, accompanied with the warning "Be careful what you wish for..."

There is only one guideline when using these key words and I will get to that immediately after I tell you what these words are.

All you have to do is know what you want to make this work. Then put it in this sentence:

I Command - (Then just state whatever you want)

I know it sounds too simple. Your disbelief in this might actually aid in its power. You remain detached from the outcome because it just sounds too easy "This couldn't possibly work, I've tried everything"-your mind will say.

Good. What can it hurt to seriously give this a try?

"I Command" all day, everyday and I have come to realize the power I have over the outcome of my life. So have those I have told these words to through their own experiences with it.

Of course your mind may just dismiss the acquisition of your desires as coincidental.
But does it really matter? After all you got what you wanted and never worried about how.

If you honestly begin to use this take into consideration that this command once made is not concerned about the how it will happen. The power will just take the shortest possible path to accomplishment.

All things great and small are possible when you use the words "I Command", but whatever they are be prepared. Of course you can always change what you want if you realize it's not what you thought it would be. It is never too late in this world and nothing is final.

The only thing constant in this world is change. You can either be conscious of your creating or dragged along oblivious to it. ^_^

There is only one rule.

One limitation and this is important if you truly want to apply this knowledge. "You cannot command something for or concerning someone else."

Such as:
"I command so-and-so to fall in love with me" instead use- "I command my true love to make himself known to me"

That's it. These words are yet to fail and you can command anything within the realm of your imagination - nothing is impossible.

All you have to do is command, and then look for the command to be fulfilled.

Here are some examples from my experience and my close friends-

>>"I command a good parking spot" Right around the next corner an open parking space right in front of the store.

>> I went walking through the woods to a beautiful creek with my husband, my brother-in-law Jacob and his girlfriend Katie. All of whom had just learned the power of commands.

It was getting dark and we were all walking back to the car. Suddenly a screeching thunder broke the silence of the night as an enormous rusty train parked on the tracks we had to cross to reach the car.

Katie was frantic. We were trapped, on a trail in the woods, in the dark. The only thing between us and the way home was a massive freight train that stretched as far as we could see in both directions.

Like a scene strait out of a horror movie we stood in the dark staring down our obstacle and trying to think of solutions. "We could climb through the cars" -This idea was quickly shot down.

Fear was setting in as it got darker around us. "We could walk to the back or the front of the train and go around" -Shot down again as fear of the train moving was very real as well as the fact there was no end in sight.

Katie was beginning to have a panic attack.

All of my fear suddenly vanished as i remembered my power of commanding. There are no limitations. I rushed to Katie and took her hands in mine. After reminding her of this fact I asked her to command out loud with me: "I command the train to move out of our way and that we make it back to the car safely," and as soon as we sat down to wait it out...

Booming and squealing the train immediately sprung to life and made us all jump. All I could do was smile and congratulate Katie for moving the train, as we all walked over the empty tracks and back to the car.

>> I gave the "I command" speech to my friend Angie in my car outside Wal-Mart. She had just finished explaing her hopeless situation. Everything she owned had been left with a relationship gone badly in Colorado. There was no family or contact that could send her anything. Her ex-boyfriend was long gone and she had fallen out with his family and friends that held her belongings.

I told her that if she really thought there was nothing more she could do to just try commanding it. It couldn't hurt. ^_^

She did, and called me the next morning in tears. Her ex-boyfriends brother lived on her block back in Tennessee, and had just returned from visiting his family in Colorado. For some reason he wanted to grab all her things and bring them back with him.

She woke that morning to find all of her belongings from her makeup to her father’s ashes on the floor in her living room and she called me.

>>All these events happened within 24 hours of the stated words "I Command"

Now with everything I have noticed there is an evolution that happens after the "I Command" has proven itself to you. More and more all you have to do is clearly know what you want. Soon the verbal commands aren't even nessesary.

But here is where "Be careful what you wish for comes in" - I will give 2 examples:

>> We have a cat that lives on the main floor of the house with the family. Lately he had been making messes and getting into everything, also the cat smell was too stong for my sensitive nose. Being pregnant many things will make your stomach sore, strong smells for one.

I wanted the cat to move to the basement, but my husband disagreed with the idea so the cat stayed upstairs.

Yesterday I found fleas on the cat, the drops will be delivered soon. But until then, we moved the cat down to the basement no arguement. I got what I wanted and quickly, but the command took the quickest open path.

>> Another example is my husband wanted another guitar controller for a video game called "Guitar Hero" so he could rock out with his brother. I disagreed thinking it would be a waste and would distract him from the launches and promotions we have going on.

His brother showed up for a visit and my huband wanted to show him the guitar game. Mysteriously we had the one guitar controller, but the game cd itself was no where to be found.

We looked until 3 in the moring, scouring the house. Nothing. The next morning they went out and bought another copy of the game which comes with a guitar controller.

He got what he wanted in the end, his second guitar controller but it was only because the game disappeared. Again within 24 hours.

I think another thing to look out for with the commands is - take care and only share your wants and commands with people that will be supportive. Make sure not to tell people that could have adverse opinions or thoughts, it may affect how your command is manifested.

- Just a tip from my own observation. So be careful what you wish for, and be careful who you tell. :)

I constantly use this technique, the more I discover about the way it works the more I will share with you.

I hope you have read something here that helps you. If you apply it be prepared to get what you want. Just be ready for the change.

It seems like an easy enough question... I'm sure you had an answer as soon as you read the words "Are You Happy" above.

Often times it feels like we repeatedly drift through everyday. Making lists, and studying materials on endless marketing and advertising subjects. Most of our time is spent trying to find newer ways to maximize our monetization on the internet. ^_^

But at the same time you have a family or at least yourself to support. (If your at this internet marketing game full time that is...)

Mailings have to be sent. Solo ads have to be written and mailed off to a continually growing list of JV partners that also must be managed.

Unless you have a good system in place, what is really just another day becomes overwhelming.

By the end of the day, there are still things that need to be done, items not yet checked off our list.

Setting all these traps for ourselves is like making a promise that we cannot keep.

When the end of the day comes and we are leaving our oversized “to do" lists incomplete we are letting ourselves down, and lowering our self-worth.

Breaking our word to ourselves after a while takes its toll.

It is an important trait to take chances, step outside of comfort zones, and challenge ourselves to be more. This increases our energy level, our inspiration and desire. Taking a chance also has a greater potential to yield something beautiful in the future.

But too much of a personal work load can leave you feeling drained and unenthused. Many big dogs say outsourcing is the key to getting things done with speed, ease and oh-so-little stress.

Let's just say for a moment that you do work by yourself or with a couple people you know personally on a regular project basis. Yet for some reason you are still left with tons of objectives on your "have to be done yesterday" list.

You would not be alone. Andrew Carnegie himself suffered from having to much to do personally in a day. (Imagine that...)One day a young employee from his office, Charles Schwab presented him with a solution:

Every night list the 6 most important things to accomplish the following day. Then the following day work on your short list from the most important working your way down to the least.

An important point to remember is when you work from home you deal with lots of distractions. Constantly encourage yourself to do what has to be done with the kids or the house, then bring yourself back to you focus and get it done.

We were given some good advice by our friend Mark Joyner about the housework, if we can afford it get a cleaning lady. It really does cause quite a distraction.

As a homeowner and mother of 2 little boys time on the computer is precious.

I have given Schwab’s advice an honest try and it was worth the 25,000 dollars Carnegie paid him after trying the method himself.

Another thing that has helped me with clarity and really getting the most of my time is Mark's Simple-o-logy course. He has a whole course on free videos set up on his site if you have the time to take a look.

I hope you have read something here that helps.

When you were very young science has proven you existed in a state of quiet meditation.

Infants are constantly slipping into and out of a dreamlike stasis which is very similar to the hypnogonic state. Easily put, it’s that half awake feeling as your just drifting into sleep or that groggy mist while slowly awakening.

For most infants this is coupled with a deep brain-level of activity referred to as the delta state. A deep and peaceful trance-like state shared with many yoga masters.

Watching my 9 month old son Michael I notice more and more of this soft peaceful state drifting away daily as he becomes more aware. I wonder how much stress, thoughts, vocalization, interaction and life affects our well being and happiness.

Often times it is even difficult to sleep, plagued with insomnia. The nightly mind riddled with concerns, promotions, due dates, and reports is unable to find peace.

Meditation for me is a way of returning to the beginning. The peaceful purity only a newly arrived child has mastered :)

My days contain more than their share of stressful interactions as I'm sure yours do. Arguments, crying children, deadlines - everyone needs to have time a little "me time."

There is time for personal creative development, total freedom, mental release and clarity.

I have special CD's that I listen to once a day. I have evolved over the years through different meditation programs.

There will be disagreements, like there have been since man started living with woman. But we never go to bed angry.

When I feel stressed, angry, or hurt I discontinue the event - take a time out - and grab the portable CD player. I actually have CDs that take the brain into those deep delta levels all infants share.

I lay or sit on the couch or the bed, wherever is quieter, and let my CD center my mind and take me away.

After a short time i drift silently back to my body and oh my god I feel fantastic.

I am ready to hug my husband for all the wonderful things he remembers. I praise my babies because they are such a blessing I cannot live without.

Then, can you imagine the inspiration that comes with perfect clarity?

In short, I would suggest you give mediation a try, use the aids that feel good to you. It may be for you, it may not solve all your problems (right away ;) For me it is such a worthwhile and enjoyable part of my experience.

I hope you find meditation helps you like it helps me.

It is a difficult thing to be self employed.

You would believe being an entrepreneur has its many benefits like choosing your own hours, or more time at home with the family.

But the truth of it is your days can be more than stressful. Running your own business and being responsible for paying the bills with no assurance of a weekly paycheck is more than most people can handle.

I am an internet marketer with my husband for six years now. We stay on our computers all day seven days a week with our two boys running wild through the office all day. ^_^

Something many marketers online and off deal with is health, energy and inspirational issues.

Also many women and men are leaving the corporate workplace to spend more time with their family at home.

I would like to help.

The purpose of this site is to give resources and information for the self-employed internet junky: concerning health of the Mind, Body, and Spirit.

As well as how to make the best of your time doing business and time spent with your family – teaching how to remove stress and increase energy and happiness.

Don't forget about yourself.

I would also like to help you find ways to up your personal creativity levels with daily "me time" exercises.

Thank you for listening, and check back soon. I'll be adding more to this site constantly.

Be strong money-maker :)

Namaste
