Did you know that the lymphs are these amazing entities that surround every single blood cell in your body. The only thing that keeps the lymphs working & in peak condition is ...... Breathing. Breathing is essential for your body, blood and energy levels. Healthy lymphs provide energy, help in weightloss & so much more. So here's the deal.. everyday when you wake up i want you to breathe. Everytime you feel stressed i want you to stand up , relax and breathe.. Its free, its natural & its better than anything you can buy. Breathe in this way and within a fortnight you will see the amazing difference lymphatic breathing exercise can do to your life. Breathe in the following way: breathe in for one 1 count. hold your breathe for 4 counts. breathe out for 2 counts. as you get better increase the counts but in the same ratio. For example : Breathe in for 4 counts Hold your breathe for 16 counts Breathe out for 8 counts. Do ten repetitions every morning. You will see how it really helps to relax you in stressed situations too. ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------ Atitude Everything is about attitude these days. The attitude you have is what will be seen by others. do you have a positive attitude? Do you have a negative attitude? Are you just grumpy? Are you confident? All this will affect your attitude & what you are seen as. Let me ask you a few questions to help you assess your attitude. How much do you enjoy your job? A) Who likes working, I do it because its neccesary. (2 points) B) I enjoy my job, its not my dream job, but i work hard & take pride in my work. (3 points) C) Im not meant to enjoy it, its work.. I need the money. (1 points) D) I love it. (4 points) You lost some money in a small investment, you were hoping would pay out. How would you react? A) I made a poor choice. I took notes. I was dissapointment but now i can learn from it and make wiser decisions. (4 points) B) Im very very angry, I hate loosing any money. (2 points) C) We all loose sometimes, just need to make sure i do it right next time. (3 points) D) Never investing again, too many risks. (1 points) Your score 2 points = The glass is half empy. You dont like to lose and your attitude is usually based on whats neccesary & what isnt. You dont think wasting money prooves to any use. 3 points = Your attitude is more about relevancy & what isnt. An occasional splurge if you are convinced it will come in use. 4 - 5 points = Your in the middle. You have a balanced attitude regarding most things. You weigh things out to decide what to do before doing it. 6 - 7 points = You are quite a cheery person, You ejoy solving your problems and taking action to fix any problems. You may convince yourself that its only money or work etc & that you just need to make it through the day & then everything will be alright. 8 points = The glass is half full. You usually see the good side in everything. I want to be clear that this quick test is to discover your attitude. this does not mean that a higher or lower score is better or lesser than the other. Now that we know how others may see you, lets see how you would like to see yourself. I want you to get a pen & paper and write down a few things about your attitude. answer the following questions. Would you prefer to be a positive or negative person? Would you like to have a hapy go lucky attitude? What things could you do to better your attitude? What lies behind your attitude? (lack of self esteem, no confidence, i need to be mean to be listened too, I feel like i always have to smile to make everyone happy) Once you have written all this down, i want you to re-read them. Really picture your self having the attitude you want. working first on your attitude and the rest will follow. Now that we know your attitude, lets move on to working on your attitude. We are going to create an attitude plan. We are going to take some action notes to put in this plan to begin our attitude make over. Eg : If you answered you want to be a positive person, then lets begin to explore that. How can you have a positive attitude. write things down that make you feel positive. maybe change your gloomy office environment or home environment. Bring some plants into work or flowers. Maybe at home in your relaxation area clear all the clutter and create a peaceful balanced environment wheere you can relax & think positively. Have a ten min positive meditation. I will go into that later on in the next few chapters. What things can you do to better your attitude? il throw some at you. How bout smiling with a huge grin everytime you walk into the office and give all your work mates a big hi how you going? did you have a great night? .. Starting every morning with the breathing excercises will get your energy soaring and help you be more positive. We are not born negative. We arent born with the world on our shoulders. We start picking those things up as we go through life. so its about time that you start taking off all this negative baggage and become the person your meant to become & only you can do this. No one else can do this for you. Only you can decide to start thinking positive about things. Begin helping yourself. Help yourself on the inside and continue to help yourself on the outside. Do something positive each day. Make it a routine which will later on turn into a habit. That is how habits are formed. Every morning believe in yourself & tell yourself that. Decide that today you will overcome all the issues that will come accross your way. ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- Challenges The challenges you face today may derive from the choices you have made. Thank those challenges. This is what helps you grow. I have seen so many people just give up so easy when a challenge arises they dont even try and solve or overcome the challenge. This is what helps us grow as a person. Every miserable moment in your life has made you the person you are today. They have made you survive till this day!!!. They have brought yu enough will to live till this day!! You need to thank them for that. How many times have you had a challenge. Maybe it was goal you had set out for yourself, but you got to a certain point when a challenge hit you? And you just got upset, cried & gave up?? We all have done that. Its normal. But what im trying to do is teach you how you can overcome all these challenge. All you need to do is ask yourself a couple of questions. Ask yourself : how did this challenge get here? How big is it? What is it about? How can i overcome it? How can i find a solution? If this person was facing this, how would they do it? Never forget that person you want to become. always put yourself in their shoes and see what they would do, how would they handle it. Would they fly off the handle, run and hide or would they face them and overcome them? Try and do the same. Its that easy. "yes sure easy for you to say".. I know it isnt as simple as pie, but you can overcome them by training yourself to ask yourself those questions and put yourself in those shoes. You will see challenges will become easier to face. There will come a day, when you will laugh when someone complains of a challenge, you have overcome a million times. Check the next article for the rest of the steps. Practise those guidelines, start implanting them in your life. Create your self that list, design that person you want to become, once that is done .. read the next article. :)
