10 Ways to Motivate Yourself and Regain Momentum when You Are Feeling Down Tuesday, September 4, 2012 Posted in: MoHow By: Dr. Mo Sometimes you feel down…that’s normal. It comes with the territory called “being alive”. Life is like a wave; and just like the wave, it has both troughs and crests. There has never been, and there will never be a wave that does not have a top and bottom, an up and a down. Sometimes, you may feel so low that you think that “being up” or “feeling up” again is impossible. If you do, you are not alone…we’ve all been there…

Birth canals are small, uncomfortable passageways that simultaneously produce almost indescribable joy and pain. We are always giving birth to new aspects of ourselves. We walk down frightening paths only to discover new layers of confidence. Our self-doubts arise specifically so we can give birth to heightened degrees of self-love and empowerment. An uncomfortable feeling such as anger, fear, or sadness rears its head and most of us want to numb, disguise, or deny it. This

January 4, 2013 Posted in: MoHow By: Dr. Mo Life serves up all kinds of situations that most people call problems. For most people these problems are sources of upset, dismay, and they are often dealt with in unhealthy and destructive ways. In this post I will describe three momentum mind techniques that have proven to be powerful and effective in dealing with adversities of all kinds. Here they are:
Do you remember the years after graduation? We were learning new skills, accumulating knowledge, becoming an expert in our field and earning higher salaries as we scaled the corporate ladder. Our career soared until it stalled. Why? Careers can ride on professional knowledge just for a certain distance. Sooner or later, gracefully or brutally, rapidly or slowly, we will discover that leadership is more about who we are than what we do. Goethe wrote âbefore you can do someth
Life is like a road. There are long and short roads, smooth and rocky roads, crooked and straight paths. In our life many roads will come our way as we journey through life. There are roads that lead to a life of single blessedness, marriage, and religious vocation. There are also roads that lead to fame and fortune on one hand, or isolation and poverty on the other. There are roads to happiness as there are roads to sadness, roads towards victory and jubilation, and roads le

The word, âLanguageâ is a big one encapsulating too many things in it, language a mean of communication is different at different place so if you have been assigned to write language essay than trust me you have a bunch of topics in your hands.

In order to gain something we must first let go of something. This is a law of life. To lose weight for example, we must first let go of what is making us fat or out of shape. To be debt free we must cut back on the things that put us into debt in the first place. We must change our ways. All of us have dreams that we would like to see come true. But what are we willing to sacrifice to make them a reality? Let us first find out what a sacrifice is.
Is letting go of guilt a stumbling block for you? How? Thinking differently, forgiving and accepting yourself as you are, sound great, but remain a top source of stress for many. (1) From people-pleasing to full out martyrdom, there is entirely too much hanging on to the damaging effects of guilt. Women and Guilt Professionals know that guilt and shame are issues for both men and women, research is showing that it is in fact, more of an obstacle for women.(2) What are the most commonly expereinced feelings? - a lack of balance - loss - feeling responsible for problems of othersr
Life’s Secret Formula Yf + Yt +Yd + Ya = YRrnYR x t = Your Future+/- If you successfully comprehend and apply this secret formula in your life you can be, have, or do anything you want. • Did you know this secret formula has been responsible for every success and achievement known to mankind, from Abraham of the Bible to Abraham Lincoln to Steve Jobs and the success of Apple today? • Did you know this secret formula is also responsible for every failure mankind has suffered?
The Comfort Zone is a place that we settle into that is familiar, has low stress, and has little or no challenge. It is where we maintain the status quo, or the norm. The Comfort Zone is not necessarily a comfortable place. Many people become familiar with misery, jealousy, pain, suffering, financial stress, loneliness, boredom, a job that offers them no passion….. So the term Comfort Zone may also be called the “familiar zone”. Just above the comfort zone is the Success Zon
You’ve got a great idea for a business. You need to lose 10 lbs. You have a major report to write. But it’s not getting done. You’re not alone and it’s not your fault. For most people, the major challenge in life is not handling a crisis. No…it’s the daily demand to stay with the program. To accomplish your tasks day after day. To keep going in the face of drudgery, frustration, and boredom. Consistently choosing to do what needs to be done rather than what you want to do. 1. Don’t feel guilty – it’s not your fault.
Significance and Importance. The words resonate with meaning. Yet each one has a very different connotation when it comes to human relationships. Significance is defined as representing someone or the expression of what one is. For example, on the day you were born you had NOTHING but a birthday suit, yet EVERYTHING you needed to equip you for life. Your birth signified a new life. A symbol of something wonderous and grand. This signifcance continues throughout your life.
The conscious and the subconscious mind. What are they and why do we have them? The word conscious by definition is the awareness of one's own environment,sensations and thoughts. But what is the subconscious? It is the store house of our lives. It is the part of the mind that files our fears,habits, experiences and the thoughts of our past. It also is the bedrock of our beliefs and convictions. Our conscious mind is constantly fed messages from the world around us through our six senses. Sight,sound,taste,touch,smell and intuitive or our ability to discern.

Lighten Your Load And Boost Your Momentum December 18, 2012 Posted In: Momentum By: Dr. Mo We think thoughts all day long and sometimes these thoughts cause us great dismay and worry. When you find yourself feeling overwhelmed and nervous it’s important to practice the skill of listening to your thoughts. By doing this you will often discover that what you have been doing, in your thinking, is making the proverbial mountain out of very little…out of the proverbial molehill.
Most people find it difficult to define themselves. On the other hand almost every self-realized and successful person can tell you who they are and what their plans are for life. The best way to define yourself is to write down how you would like to be remembered. To start this exercise think about whom you would like to be positively remembered by. Then decide what kind of person you want to remembered as. Next imagine some of the good things you want to be remembered for.
So you suffer from procrastination and want to know how to fight it? In order to overcome procrastination, we should first know what is causing it in the first place. There can be many reasons for procrastinating on something and if we become aware of them, it can be very helpful.nnFor example, suppose there is an important article you need to write.

Close your eyes for a moment. Think back to when you were five or six years old, and playing with your favorite toy. Perhaps it was a doll, or perhaps a hot wheels racer. Or maybe it was a simple cardboard box. Whatever it was, chances are you were able to build an entire world around that one item. It was the center of your amazingly vibrant and diverse universe. The sky wasn’t the limit. Nothing was when it came to your imagination. You knew what you wanted, and your mind saw no reason to limit your ability to achieve. If your car needed rocket boosters it had them.
Your idea of extreme sports may be watching three football games at once at the local sports bar or playing more than eighteen holes of golf in a day. You may think there is nothing to learn from people who jump out of planes or hang off the sides of mountains. That would be wrong. While you may have no interest in participating in extreme sports, you can still gain valuable insights from successful business people who do. I’m a world record skydiver, MBA and former corporate Chief Operating Officer.
It doesn't take a recession or a rise in unemployment to bring on financial stress. Many feel it daily - when bills arrive in the mail, when they sit down to pay bills, when they see a television commercial for something they want but can't afford, when they hear of layoffs, or even when they hear of the rising costs of items or services they someday hope to purchase.

One of the most powerful principles hidden in the goldmine of knowledge called Think and Grow Rich is what Iâve named âThe Pyramid Principle.â Now, Iâm not talking about some mystical kind of pyramid power.

POWâs during World War II lived in some of the most unbearable living conditions imaginable. Those who survived the Bataan Death March were among the most ill treated people on the earth. In his biography, Russell A. Grockett, Sr. tells of some of these horrible circumstances. He was on the Bataan Death March from April 1942 until August of 1945. During that time he faced starvation numerous times, often times having to eat food that virtually no one alive today would consi
MoStory Posted by Dr. MO Each of us faces problems, challenges and difficulties in in our lives. In today’s post I am sharing story that is an allegory or fable, a story that provides insights into how to deal with an important part of life. A young woman went to her mother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed that as one problem was solved, a new one arose.
Gary Vela established Web Daytona in 2008. A digital marketing agency with the world ahead of it, the drive for this company came from his early life spent in the jungles of Peru.

Cut to 2018, and through perseverance and strong leadership, Vela has transformed Web Daytona into the leading digital marketing agency in Florida. Perseverance in a Peruvian bu
It is interesting to note that most of society is free. There is a percentage of the populous that is incarcerated for crimes against society. So too, are there people who live in political cultures that do not value the freedom of its' people. Nevertheless, the majority of the people in the world live in relative freedom. They can choose whom they marry, what they do for a living, and where they live. Most societies allow their people to move around freely without restraint.
Why is there so much emphasis on the subconscious reprogramming? Why do celebrities hire hypnotists and therapist? Why sports Olympics are coached by sports psychologist? Why do scientists still study the mind? Well, consider this, the average adults has the subconscious development like that of a childr Why is it so? The average human being spend 15 years in schoolr
Each of us has a glorious, divine purpose for making a unique and positive difference on this planet; that is, for leaving a powerful legacy. And guess what? Your passion and your talents together point directly to your purpose. Pretty obvious, eh? Most of us have a good inkling as to what our true passions are – what we would do for free or what we would even pay someone else to let us do. In fact, most of us share our passions for free, either as a hobby or through volunteering.
There is you, there is your money, there is your desires and needs. Desire is one thing, need is another, and because 97% of people on this planet, believe it or not, have not figured out how these two elements ‘ desire and needs’ conflict with each other, causing the ‘YOU’ confusion as to why there is not enough money around. The conflict begins when our perception of things we desire become needs. 1. Determining Needs vs. Wantsr The things we need seem so obvious such as food and drinks, clothes, shelter, education, love and togethe ess.

Making the Law of Attraction Work for You, the Column- Part 3 By Steve Taylor I hope that you are seeing results from your effort to build the all-important foundation that allows us to engage the Law of Attraction. I know how challenging this task can be. Please keep in mind that this is a marathon, not a sprint. Patience, a willingness to recognize the smallest change as a win, and keeping an open mind to the unseen, are essential to realizing your true potential. Let us look at how negative energy affects us. Negative Relationships- The influence of “Eor Primes”r
We all question our ability at times. Uncertainty plagues us. It is even more intense if the ability we are questioning relates to something we have never tried or not succeeded at in the past. Setbacks are common, but we rarely welcome them. We are inclined to respond negatively to adversity. It may be time to revisit that reflexive response. I had an experience recently that caused me to reconsider whether a negative response to adversity is always justified when I was confronted with a life-threatening situation. It was mid-mo ing on a warm and pleasant Saturday.

There is an incredible conversation buzzing about the threat of the fiscal cliff right in front us. It reminds me of the days when my biggest fear was the Fear of Poverty. I reacted to this fear by pretending I was indifferent to money, that it did not matter to me. Of course it mattered, otherwise I’d not have been so lazy about it. And that’s what it was, mental laziness in reaction to the fear of living in poverty and barely making it. Our politicians have fallen into the
"An army of deer led by a lion is more powerful than an army of lions led by a deer". So I bet you are wondering, how can I be that lion? How can I have the confidence to finally become a leader? How can I exhume the confidence to achieve anything I set out to achieve? No matter who you are, what you are doing, confidence is the key. A student without confidence is bound to feel pressured and consequently his or her mind goes blank during an exam.
The word self help has a stigma associated with it. It implies that the person using it is either weak minded or has some sort of character flaw. So when people think of reading self help books, they usually think of reading them to overcome flaws in their personalities, self-esteem, or confidence. This is why people stay away from or hate to admit that they are using these tools; because they don't want to admit or let others know there is a flaw in them. However, there is much more to self help books than that.
You impact the world every day with your presence. No words need to be spoke or actions taken. Your presence and energy touches those around you. When your heart is filled with love, when you flow with certainty, and sparkle with enthusiasm, you bring these qualities to the universe. rn rnWe often think we have to do or say something special in order to make a difference in the world. Our silence, calm, soft spoken word and love have the biggest impact on the universe and tho
My Work with students and adults affected by ADHD, mood disorders and poor sleep, using Light and Sound Therapy devices to improve their outcomes By Steve Taylor, M.S., C.E.T Recently, I managed a 5- month Charter school based demonstration project with at-risk K-12 student learners, to confirm the efficacy of the light and sound intervention, using the DAVID Pal Alert, Light and Sound therapy devices to improve academic performance, social behaviors and sleep patterns of student participants. The project was a grant funded effort supported by the Helen Bader Foundation of Milwaukee.
Once upon a time, there was a kindly man, wanting to buy a chainsaw for his farm, he spent months thinking about it, he knew he wants the chainsaw for his farm, but then the farm did not need a chainsaw however, when he finally made a decision, he bought it. For weeks and months, this kindly man walks miles away wandering into the forest, with the chainsaw in his hand. The kindly man knew that he wanted something, but could not define what it is, and why he wanted something. This kindly man, wanders around the forest for ages, not knowing why he is there, or which tree he shall cut.

Quick cash, fast food, drive-thru, speedy service - call it what you like. When baby-boomers (born 1945 - 1965) want it, you had better provide it immediately. The message is the sooner the better! If you can provide customers with a time saving, convenient option⦠they will pay for it. Drive-thru windows and easy-access express locations are now commonplace in many countries. Drive-thru Banks, drive-thru Dry Cleaners... I am told that California even has a drive-thru Funer
One of the key tools of productivity is planning. Planning can help you overcome difficult tasks, outline your goals, and keep you on course to achieve those goals. When done properly, it can simplify your life and drastically reduce stress. However, you must be careful not to take it to the extreme. Some people become so comfortable while planning that it keeps them from actually taking action. They want to create the perfect plan that will hold up in any situation, no matt
When I got home that night as my wife served dinner, I held her hand and said, I’ve got something to tell you. She sat down and ate quietly. Again I observed the hurt in her eyes. Suddenly I didn’t know how to open my mouth. But I had to let her know what I was thinking. I want a divorce. I raised the topic calmly. She didn’t seem to be annoyed by my words, instead she asked me softly, why?

I sometimes call my new kitten Buddha-Pest because at times he has the serenity of a Buddha, but at other times he is a pest -- nipping, biting, and digging his claws into anything that moves! This is much like my mind, which at times rests in a sublime state of peace and acceptance, and at other times pesters me with gnawing, clawing fear thoughts, like, âWhatâs that ache? Whatâs that twinge? Why am I so tired? Could it be the cancer is back!?â I wish I could rest in

"Greatness Isn't Born, It's Grown" (Coyle, 2009) Isn't that what everyone wants to hear? I know, I needed to hear it! I can't sing, can't dance, can't draw and I am horrible at sports or math-related sciences. I grew up believing that I was talentless. However, according to "The Talent Code" by Coyle (2009) we often mistakenly limit talent to either genes, environment, or some divine intervention. In that sense Coyle's argument that talent is just a product of what he calls "
Your mind is the starting point for change. Change your mind â change your life. In Part I of Affirmations Basics, we said that before you affirm what you do want, you must deny what you do not want.

Personal excellence is gained by the gradual result of always striving to do better. The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential, these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence. Personal excellence is not about being a perfectionist. It is not a goal to be reached, a project to prove anything to anyone, satisfy anyoneâs expectations, or unnecessarily stressing ourselves through being obsessive and impatient. Personal ex
Cut the crap, Get to the point, and explain why Team Building is Critical to Success. First, banish the thought that by finding candidates with similar dispositions, thoughts, and ideas can lead to success. Having bunch of people parroting to one another is like having identikit clones producing the same results with no creativity and no expansion. The idea of forming a team is to find candidates with diverse backgrounds, controversial, and have a vision of their own. A creative team is a mixed bag of positive and negative. The visionary:
In today's society getting the right careers advice for children / kids and teenagers, is highly recommended. Many of the most successful adults today were fortunate enough to have been given some form of careers advice while they were still young. This gave them an advantage over many of their peers as they already knew and had a direction to head in when they had finished their secondary level of education. When we are young we all dream of: Becoming a scientist rnBecoming
I love the fairy tale, The Ugly Duckling, written by Hans Christian Anderson in 1844. Here’s the Cliff Notes version. One spring day, a baby swan is born into a duck family and it’s immediately apparent that he just doesn’t belong: His egg is much larger than the others and after he’s born, he’s physically bigger, more gray, and gangly than his siblings. His family members and the rest of his community shun and criticize this ugly duckling, so he leaves home in shame.
Ascending to a new level of performance in any endeavor is a matter of taking intelligent risks well. Sales is no exception. Having written a book on intelligent risk-taking called The Power of Risk and often speaking to sales professionals, I’m regularly asked by ambitious sale people what risks I suggest they take.
As a professional presenter for over fourteen years, I’ve see PowerPoint used well and poorly. Unfortunately, is seems to be used poorly more often that well. Here are some suggestions for making PowerPoint a positive part of your presentation. The secret to using PowerPoint successfully is to be minimalist – fewer slides and less text. PowerPoint is a powerful tool. Used well, it will enhance a presentation. Used poorly, it can destroy it. 1. HIGHLIGHTS – Use PowerPoint to emphasize your key points. Your presentation likely has five or six (or ten) key points.
Preparation: Knowing where you can go starts with knowing where you are and where you’ve been. Success requires practice, study and strategy. Master each detail and consider the possibilities and probabilities. Have you ever had the experience of being able to do something well and that others considered outstanding, difficult and beyond their capabilities? An activity in which you had done a significant amount of work beforehand which allowed you to complete and achieve it? Do you remember how good you felt? That good feeling is the consequence of preparation.
There are as many fears as there are people in the world. Fear of flying, fear of driving, fear of dogs, fear of cats and even a fear of styrofoam! Fear is an emotion which discourages, hinders or stops us from living victorious lives! That is it's only purpose. Every fear wears a mask. It does not want us to see its true face. If we did, then it would cease to exist! Please do not confuse fear with common sense. Common sense is attained through our lives by trial and error. It acts like a safety trigger on a gun to protect us from harm. What I am talking about is fear of the unknown.
Achieving a work life balance is a phrase that I heard for the first time only a few years ago but as soon as I heard what people were saying I knew what they meant. Like almost everyone else I have experienced being chained to a job that prevented me from having much of a life outside of work. My experience came very early in my career about 15 years ago and after the initial excitement and enjoyment in my first proper office job I realized that work was becoming my life and personal errands and time became constricted to late evenings and short weekends.
By Ron White memory expert and USA Memory Champion As I was training for the USA Memory Championship in 2009 I emailed the then World Champion, Ben Pridmore, and I asked him for advice he could give me as I trained.
