Dealing with Mr.Charisma
Do you ever find yourself in situations where you feel overwhelmed by the person who is speaking to you. It is as if their charisma and enthusiasm takes over and you just cannot seem to think for yourself. For a moment you are lost in a blur of their words. The worst part is the fact that you cannot seem to regain
composure or even assert your own opinion. What is the solution? How to assert yourself in the face of a wave of charisma: 1 Break Rapport What? Yes, break rapport but do so gently by adjusting your
posture and by changing your rate of breathing. Mr.Charisma has
you locked into deep rapport with his every word and every
movement. Until you regain your own pace, your own natural breathing
rhythm and your own posture you will be subject to his lead. Notice how you feel in your body, put some of your attention back
onto yourself. Only then will you be able to think for yourself
and to form your own opinions. 2 Filter The Words Once you have regained a sense of how you feel and think in the
present moment it is time to filter the words that Mr.Charisma
speaks so eloquently. A filter will help you to maintain this
sense of self and the ability to think for yourself. A visual filter is easiest for some people. Imagine a wall in the
air between you and him, a wall that filters the words so that
you only hear the words without feeling drawn into his world. Other people prefer a auditory filter. Imagine that your ears
can be tuned in like a radio. You only hear the words not the way
the words are manipulated to effect your emotions. Choose a filter that appeals to you and use it to help you think
independently so that you can evaluate what you are listening to.
Why does this work? By using your imagination in this way, you
are using the power of your right brain to help you get what you
want. 3 Take Back Time Take time out from the onslaught. Either ask directly for time to
consider what is being said or occasionally repeat back what he
is saying in your own words. By paraphrasing his words you will
regain control of the flow of the conversation. You will also
be showing that you are listening and understanding what is
being discussed. It is simple at this point to take charge by asking questions.
Whoever is asking the questions is generally in charge of the
conversation so use this skill to assert your authority. Then use
this time to decide what *you* think. Mr.Charisma can easily take charge unless you understand how to
regain composure. Break rapport, filter his words and take time
to formulate your own opinions. Peter Murphy is a peak performance expert. He recently produced a very popular free report: 10 Simple Steps to Developing Communication Confidence.

Use Your Reset Button to Change Your Vibration
At every moment you can tell if the vibration that you are sending is either a positive one or a negative one by identifying the feeling you are experiencing. At every moment you have a feeling and that feeling is causing you to emit or send off a vibration - and in the 'vibrational' world there are only two kinds of vibrations; positive or negative. So as you talk about what you don't want and make negative declarative statements, in that moment you are sending out and emitting a negative vibration. Law of Attraction then matches it by giving you more of the same.

Releasing the Illusion of Control
It's amazing how easy it is to convince ourselves that we're in control of everything in our lives. When it comes right down to it, what we eventually learn is that we are in control of only two things: our own thoughts, and our own actions. We can fool ourselves into thinking that we can control our spouses, children, friends, employers, etc. But are we really in control? We can plot, manipulate, connive and cajole in order to get our own way, but ultimately the other person makes their own decision. We didn't force anything to happen. We may have encouraged it, but we didn't cause it.

5 Tips To Increase Your Personal Power
1. The most important one: Have at least one person in your life who is like-minded. This means someone who wants to be the best they can be, who has dreams and goals and takes action to make them a reality. I know such people can be hard to find! They don't have to be following the same course in life as you. My best friend is studying to become a pilot and I enjoy computers and writing, yet because we love what we do, we help each other stay focused and motivated. But where can you find similar people? Try clubs and associations connected with your interests, the workplace, and of course, the Internet. Pick any subject and I guarantee you will find groups and forums for it online. Be proactive ? seek out positive people. What they bring into your life ? and you theirs ? is priceless.
Be Not Afraid, Ye of Midlife
Millions of people face huge changes in their lives during the midlife years and most seem to be glad they made the changes, but only if they've faced their own longings for meaning with integrity. Midlife can be defined as anywhere from 35 to 60, but usually comes on around the mid-forties or later. It's built into our psyches, just as other developmental stages at other ages are pre-programmed. Not everyone will experience it as an apparent period of change, though. Some women, and men too, just sense a slight change of priorities, values and perhaps a slight adjustment of goals if they recognize their midlife dilemmas at all. If you're one of the ones that are turning your life upside down, be not afraid.
