Re-program Your Mind To Stop Worrying

Nataly — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 14:34:23 +0000

Do you find yourself worrying about what might happen? The what ifs’? Do you have a constant niggle of fear and worry buzzing through you that is so deeply embedded its taken for granted?Worrying is one of the most prevalent thought addictions, keeping us stuck in a state of disarray. A particular worry will become a repetitive thought pattern which we accept as part of our day to day life.This has become ingrained in many people, to the extent of the initial worry diminishing, instantly being replaced by another. Worry is a form of anxiety that soon becomes a cumbersome habit, all too often becoming an emotional addiction.Without worry it is likely you will initially feel restless, that something is missing and begin to search for that feeling again – here the vicious circle continues.Take time out to consider what benefits there are to worrying? What do you get from it? You might initially think thats preposterous, how can there be a benefit to worrying? Then, I wonder, why are we spending so much of our all-too-short life engaging in avoidable discomfort and woe?Over the years the mind has become trained to seek out worries, we might choose to accept this as an intrinsic part of our make up. For a moment though imagine how different your life would be without it. Would you feel happier? Free to make better decisions? More confident and positive?We cant worry about the past – it is done.We cant worry about the present – it is here.We can never foretell the future.Follow this simple strategy to move away from worry and towards a happier life:Identify exactly what you are worrying about – be specific.Ask yourself, honestly, What is the worse that can happen in this imagined future?What actions do you need to take to know you have done all you can to manage this future possibility?What has stopped you taking these steps?Act now and know you have now done all you can with these circumstances.Move on to focus your attention on something positive you would like to achieve!Having taken a worry and applied the above strategy you might be shocked to find another fear immediately takes its place. Why? Because your mind has been set on a continuous worry program.Whilst we are using precious time and energy worrying, we are not in a place to be constructive, positive and create the best future. The minute we take control of a specific worry, applying focus to new thoughts, actions and achievements we feel optimistic, empowered and able to move forward.Now imagine the difference to your well-being and outcomes if worry was not holding you back. What would you do that you currently feel unable to do? Can you imagine walking through life knowing you are in control and free of this invisible weight?Your mind is re-programmed amazingly quickly. Life-long worriers can be transformed in just six weeks using these simple steps. They require tenacity and conscious awareness – as breaking any habit does .. How much of your world is currently blighted by incessant worry and the effort that takes? Apply your old worrying time and energy to action and watch your life transform!

UUV Protection Fabrics Are The Latest Innovation In Wearable UV Protection

Nataly — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 14:34:20 +0000

While traditional sunscreen lotions block some of the sun’s harmful rays, most people use too little lotion or apply incorrectly to be effective. Additionally, geographic variables in UV intensities, unique body chemistrys, perspiration and wear also reduce the effectiveness. In the not too distant future, shopping for summer clothes may take on a whole new meaning. UV protection fabrics are the latest innovation in wearable UV protection and offer some interesting possibilities. UV protection fabrics provide consistent and effective UV protection under all conditions.The basic science behind UV protection fabric is chemical UV inhibitors and UV Blocking weave technology. To receive a UV Block certification, sun protection fabrics must meet stringent industry and governmental guidelines. UVBLOCK certified means that: The fabric has been tested for ultraviolet light transmission It is then laundered 40 times and submitted to 100 hours of UV light Once again tested for UV Light transmission, then given a certified rating and labeled ONLY fabrics tested by the International UV Testing Laboratories are UVBLOCK certified. ALL SPF FABRICS are UVBLOCK certified, so you can be assured of the Best in Sun Protection.The FDA regulates any fabric or garment that makes specific claims of a medical nature. FDA approved fabrics are guaranteed to reduce UV radiation by 97% or more. The Solar Protection Factory produces several UVBlock fabrics. SolarWeave, a lightweight, woven, nylon fabric; SolarKnit, a cotton jersey treated with UV block; and SolarTwill, a heavier treated fabric. All three fabrics are FDA approved and commonly used in UV protection garments and accessories.Although UV protection fabric is usually found in outdoor garments, one company that specializes in UV blocking products for indoor tanning salons has taken the SolarWeave, fabric and created products that protect the hair and face from UV rays while tanning indoors.If you are going to spend time outdoors, consider UV protection fabrics as a viable alternative to sunscreen. UVBlock fabrics provide substantially better UV protection and you look good doing it.

Discover Inner Peace And A Positive Way Forward

Nataly — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 14:34:17 +0000

Have you ever wondered what that restless feeling is about and wish you could make it go away? Do you wonder how to quieten the feeling of restlessness, find internal peace, along with a quiet mind?Are you aware of a feeling inside that gnaws away insidiously for days, transforming into a constant weight you carry around? Have you noticed how the harder you try to resist that gnawing feeling the more invasive it becomes? Sometimes it seems to effect everything you do, often driving you to behave in ways that are off kilter with who you want to be.Would it surprise you to know that feeling is your inner guidance letting you know that there is something in your life that is causing you to be at odds with your true identity?Whether its due to nerves about a coming event or worry about a specific issue, maybe this uncomfortable feeling has an indefinable source. You might even have become so well acquainted with the feeling of unrest that you hardly notice it anymore?Next time you are aware of this inner discomfort, instead of distracting yourself away from it, pay attention! Notice where it is in your body, give that place and feeling your full focus and remain still. You will witness the feeling calm down as you give it your attention.Now ask, still with your focus on the place it resides What are you trying to tell me? and listen. Once it has been able to inform you of its intention and give you a heads up you will feel the discomfort subside.Now heres the crux. If you hear it but do not listen, in other words if you choose to ignore it, avoid making changes that are necessary according to what information was imparted, it will instantly return and it will continue to gnaw away until it drives you literally to distraction… The distraction of alcohol, compulsive eating, unhealthy relationships and a whole host of ways magically created in order to take the focus away from the discomfort deep within.It is worth noting that the greater the feeling of not-at-peace the more intense the distraction will be to overshadow. This is the beginning of a vicious circle towards drama, unrest and disharmony in your life.If you do listen and act on the information your inner voice provides, you will be moving forward with your life as it unfolds in way that is conducive with your highest will. You might feel as though you have just woken up to one of the keys to living a happy life and feeling great. You will move into the future knowing that feeling of tension and discomfort is simply your immaculate inner GPS system guiding you and all you have to do is pay attention, listen and take the appropriate action.Try it for yourself and learn how it feels to live in flow with life without that constant alarm droning within, discovering inner peace and a positive way forward.
