Fear is an emotion that it is so powerful and overpowering that it controls many people. How can you remove fear from your mind and life, though….

Finding Motivation

How To Find Motivation

I hate to exercise. I really do. I feel good afterward, and I’m definitely getting in better shape because of it, but I hate it. It’s a real challenge for me. Anyway what do my exercise habits have to do with finding motivation? Hang on for a few moments and it will all make sense. It may even be enlightening.

My latest physical check-up highlighted a few health challenges and lots of room for improvement. I’m planning an active holiday and the check-up showed that I would not be capable of enjoying the holiday and taking part in the activities unless there were some big changes in my health. That was a strong motivation to get back in shape, right? Sure it is, but that didn’t make it easy.

I’d get on the treadmill bound and determined to walk for 30 minutes, and I’d find myself getting bored out of my mind and irritated with the soreness in my muscles 15 minutes into it. Half the time I would just give up, and the other half was so aggravating that I vowed never to do it again. Of course, my motivation was strong, and so I’d try again the next day.

Dig The Well

Dig The Well BEFORE You’re Thirsty

Tell me if this doesn’t sound like something you hear way too often, especially if you hang out at forums a lot. Personally, I hear this sort of thing so much, I just want to scream.

“I have a problem. My cat just died and I need $500 to give him a decent burial. I don’t want to just throw him in the ground. There’s this excellent pet cemetery down the street and I’d love to put his remains there. I need a way to make $500 fast. The vet can only keep his body for 3 days. So I need to make $500 in the next 2 days. Can you help me?”

Sound familiar? It should. This is what I hear. The truth of the matter is, there is no real quick way to make a substantial amount of money fast, not that I consider $500 a substantial amount of money. But even a sum like this takes time, especially if you’re just starting out.

Time Management Answers:

Organize Yourself in a style that Works for You

If you are like most people existing or living in the 21st century, you keep up a very full-on and feverish schedule each and every day. Therefore, efficient time management is a fundamental element in your life. When it comes to time management, there are a lot of different articles, books and videos on the market that offer people information about how they might want to approach scheduling and managing their time. Most of these articles, books and videos provide what might better be called a cookie cutter plan of attack to time management. A person could justifiably say, these articles, books and videos offer the same time management solutions for everyone in every type of circumstance - a simple one size fits all.

Actually, each person has different time management needs, requirements and objectives. What could work for one-man when it comes to time management and effective scheduling may not work at all for a different person. Why do I think that this is so I believe that each and every person has different time management and scheduling needs and overall personal and professional obligations.

Keeping that in mind, I believe that the most efficient type of time management systems is one in which an individually planned approach to time management and schedule coordination is developed.
Organized in a manner most suitable to the individual and not the simplistic one size fits all mentality.

Beating Brain Overload - Suggestion (Part 2)

Here are the next 5 ways I suggest to beat brain overload.

6. Go to a movie.

If you are able to fit in a two hour movie, at the theatre, it is worth the time and money just so you can get away mentally and physically. Sitting in front of the big screen is a great way to take your mind off everything.

7. Listen to motivational CDs or mp3 recordings.
This is a tip I picked up from well a number of known motivational speakers. When they are tired from intense thinking, they listen to motivational recordings. Although it might seem like this would be more work, it isn’t. By listening, you can relax, and become almost passive, as the ideas and schemes gradually break the drain.

8. Play a sport
Studies show that people who do a competitive sport such as tennis, basketball, golf, martial arts, or football are happier overall. To compete in the sport may make you tired physically, but will wake you up mentally. When you wake up mentally, brain drain stops being as big a problem.

Help to improve a writing sample for an English learner?

sallyzhang_86 asked:

Hello everyone ?

English is not my native language and writing in it is really a headache, because I can’t tell if my work is alright. As I have to take the GRE test, would you like give my some suggestions on the sample I have written? If you could give me the better way to express some meaning, that will be great… thanks to your warm heart, and If you want to learn Chinese, my first language, or know something about Chinese culture, feel free to leave your message here…
Thank you guys again…

Writhing sample:
The words, self-improvement and personal growth are quite common in our society nowadays. I think the idea of self-improvement and relative products and services are a sign that we are brave to understand our personalities and to admit our intrinsically deficiencies. The honest and realistic attitude could definitely help a person to improve in some aspects which could eventually help one conquer some of the deficiencies and live a happier life.
