Nourishing Intellectual Wellness
Oct 6th
Would you consider yourself intellectually stimulated? To nourish one’s intellectual wellness, one must be constantly feeding the mind with intelligent thoughts. One should always be aware of what is going on in the mind.
There are many mediums that provided the latest knowledge – there are books, of course. Then there are newspapers, magazines, internet sites, TV shows, news programs, movies, and even music. So what type of content are you focusing on? What type of communication do you receive through your snail mail, texts, and email?
In this age of technological advancement where so much information is so accessible, one should be careful about what they focus on. So much information can also be the cause of undue stress. Bad news that we allow into our consciousness might overwhelm us with negative thoughts if we allow these to do so.
When you turn on the television it’s common to see TV shows with themes of violence and sex. And on the news, you will mostly see headlines that are not positive. Subconsciously, these all impact your mood and way of thinking. It is common to become suspicious and fearful when you see and hear about robberies and hijacking, wars and killing. While these might provide the latest in entertainment and news, by the end of a few hours of watching television, your sense of the world becomes negative.
However, if we choose to be discriminating about what we watch, then we can control what information we feed into our consciousness. Shows that reflect positivity and our values can make us feel happy, stimulated, and nourished.
Do you believe this? I challenge you to control what information you feed into your mind for a week and see how it impacts you.
For a week, choose to watch or read sources that are positive and reflect your values in life. Perhaps you’ll notice after a few days that you feel positive versus disturbed and agitated. Then you will know how all these sources can actually affect your life.
Understand that you do have a choice as to what you let in your mind. You do have the choice of making life a lot less stressful. You have the choice of leading a better, healthier, and more positive life.
Time Management Tips To Make More Money
Sep 28th
If you want to make more money, you need to manage your time very carefully and avoid anything which distracts you and takes you away from the primary focus. It is important to develop a clear methodology. Here are some suggestions.
Avoid the shiny objects syndrome. Many people who want to make money online get distracted with all the ads they see for the next big deal which promises instant wealth with no work, etc. etc. Avoid trying a lot of new programs since they are very distracting.
Choose a plan and stick with it. If you have decided that you want to promote affiliate products through article marketing, then develop a detailed plan and stick with it. To make money online does take work and there is no avoiding it.
Develop a daily set of plans and goals. Plan out what you need to accomplish that day. For example it might be to create and submit five articles on a particular topic. Create a checklist each day and then do whatever you can to accomplish that.
If you weren’t able to complete the goals you set out for the day, try to figure out why. Then revise your plans as necessary.
Check emails on a set schedule. Emails are very distracting. You may be working on an article and then…BLAM….you get an email from someone. You may stop to read it and respond to it. The next thing you realize is that it’s an hour later and you’ve totally lost your train of thought!
It is better to set specific times to review and respond to your emails. That way you can be focused on the things you need to get done. Try it. You’ll be amazed how much more efficient you can get.
