Mind Your Mind
Three Secrets to Effective Affirmations: 1 Drive your Physiology - by this I mean get yourself into a
dynamic state of mine by moving your body energetically. I find
walking quickly, cycling or jumping around the house while
listening to loud music, all very effective for me. When you feel
energized you will put more enthusiasm and emotion into your
affirmations and you will make a bigger impression on your mind. Then say your short positive statement out loud if it is
appropriate, otherwise shout it out inside your head where only
you can hear it. 2 Create short statements These statements will describe how you want to be and it is best
to state these attributes in the present tense as if it is
already true. For example, *I am confident and appreciated by
all* Instead of... *I want to have more confidence someday only
I do not know when that is likely to be because I have a few
problems to deal with right now.* When you say your affirmation, assume it is already true and
express this feeling as you repeat the phrase. This way you are
programming your brain to find a way for you to achieve your
goal. 3 Use the Ultimate Affirmation: The ultimate affirmation is ideal for anyone who wants to
communicate at their best under pressure. Here it is... *I love myself* I know this seems a bit far out. Let me explain. Let us pretend,
just for a moment, that you completely love yourself 100 per cent.
So this would mean you fully accept all aspects of yourself,
your body, your bad habits, your personal limitations etc. If this was the case, the opinion of other people would be
totally irrelevant. You would then have no barriers to speaking
at your best. At first repeating * I love myself* is likely to cause you to
feel awkward, embarrassed or just plain silly. If that happens
you will know that you are on the right track because that is
evidence that you are challenging limiting beliefs you already
have about your value as a person. For the more adventurous, try this in front of a mirror. It
freaked me out the first time I did it. Although I soon got the
hang of it. Play with this approach to managing your mind and you will soon
discover that the secret is to use affirmations with intensity.

Can You Change a Man?
Recently, at a public function where I was the Toastmaster, an elegant lady in her early 30s walked up to me and asked: 'Can a woman change a man?' Instead of giving her a direct answer, I asked her: 'can anybody change you from being you?' She said: 'No'. The truth is that no woman can change any man except the man himself decides to change.

While the rest of the world focuses on the problematic area of politically correctness, terror in the middle east, and life in the fast lane, those of us here in the dust bowl of the latest drought keep sane by writing about our lives and the lives of those around us.

Our people have no character" is acknowledged universally, at home and abroad, in business and government circles, and in every sphere of administrative activity.

Just Allow? But How?
If you've been practising the Law of Attraction, then you're probably familiar with the expressions, "just Allow" and "it will come." Well, technically, both expressions are true. However, 'Allowing' is not just thinking that you can have your desire--it's also knowing and feeling that it is possible. When we believe we can have our desire, we have no doubt in receiving it. In other words, we 'Allow'. Simply put, 'Allowing' is the 'Absence of Doubt'.
