Meditate As You Breathe!
Oct 5th
Breathing resonates with our subconscious mind. It is not the job of our conscious mind. Just observe your breathe when you are relaxed, happy, angry or upset. To use breath as a meditation tool does not mean you have to control your breath. Of course, Yoga is a way in which breathing is the main focus while exercising.
If you are a little observant, you will notice that whenever you are angry, your breathing becomes faster. At such times, if you shift your focus from your breathing to your body, you would feel burning sensations on your body.
Breathing can be a great tool to control your anger or any upsetting emotion. Whether it is about past, present or future, whenever we find ourselves in a deep state of any negative emotion, the subconscious mind will respond. Human nature is such that we love to delve into past events and continue rehashing the incidences and negative self talks. This becomes a trap for the upcoming similar negative patterns. Without realizing we continue to harbor negative feelings which bring to surface our deep rooted emotions, feelings and sensations on the body level.
While this happens on the body level, our conscious mind reacts to whatever occurs physically or in the outer world. The reaction of the conscious mind multiplies these negative feelings or emotions which in turn get deeply seated in our subconscious mind.
Every thing begins with one single thought. This one thought attracts similar thoughts and these thoughts bring out the negative energy, pain, heat, anxiety and burning sensations from the subconscious to the surface level. Whenever we react, our subconscious mind looks for the similar patterns of feelings and emotions stored within, to return them back to the body or surface level. Here, the multiplication of negative energy in the subconscious mind starts.
When the sub conscious mind returns back to you what it finds deep within, the conscious mind reacts more. The more the conscious mind reacts the more similar negative feelings get generated and get stored deeply in our subconscious mind and the loop continues. This is how we multiply our miseries.
How to stop this on going loop? Simply by diverting your mind you can stop attracting negative thoughts. If you can divert your mind towards an external world then it’s a good quick remedy. E.g. immediately look for something good or think of your goal or any thing you like. It’s a very good temporary solution but it won’t give you the lasting results.? It will relax your mind for some time but it would not drive out the deep rooted enemy in you.

Models and Confidence Is a Must to Be Successful!
Sep 30th
Self Confidence
Women are so conscious of themselves and are perhaps their own worst critic. As a teenager we compare ourselves to other girls and I thought it changed when we got older but boy was I wrong. If you want to be a successful working model you must have confidence.
It is human nature, but there is always going to be another woman prettier than you. What are you going to do about it? Are you going to give in? Are you going to learn to deal with it? The sooner you stop comparing yourself to others, the faster your career will take off. I dare you to re-shift your thinking.
To be a successful model you must learn to focus on your inner beauty and that will outshine your outer beauty. Personally a gorgeous woman with a nasty attitude is just plain ugly. No agent or client wants to work with that type of model.
Tips to Win
One of the tricks that I use when I encounter drop dead gorgeous women on auditions is that I turn on my iPod because music relaxes me. Music takes me out of the element and allows me to focus and relax. If music is not available, you may want to experiment with breathing and counting exercises in your head.
The key is to get your mind off of other women. I guarantee you that if you can’t you will be self-defeated and miss out on yet another opportunity. I know this from personal experience because I doubted myself for about 3 months when I returned to modeling after a long hiatus. I went into auditions focusing on everyone else and the camera doesn’t lie. The camera picks up on everything and it tells a story. If you don’t believe me, have someone take your picture when you are upset. It’s different to go to work upset and others not knowing it. It takes an experienced model to be able to not let their personal life effect their professional life. I’m good but I’m still working on reaching that level.
Practice doesn’t make perfect, but it makes you better and creates awareness. Again, I dare you to re-discover yourself. You are the only one standing in your own way of success. What are you waiting for? You’ll be amazed at the results.
