Give yourself the gift of becoming unstoppable...

As this year comes to an end, I want to share some important information with you: YOU ARE UNSTOPPABLE.

You may not know it yet, but you have the ability to achieve anything you want to achieve.

This holiday season, why not give yourself the gift of a proven, working system for reaching ALL your goals?

When you do, you ensure that you begin the New Year ready to finally turn your biggest hopes and dreams into reality.

Success expert and best-selling author Brian Tracy has spent the past 4 decades perfecting such a system, and now that it’s ready, he’s going to share it with you on a complimentary webinar: “Brian Tracy’s 12-Step Method to Setting and Achieving Your Goals.”

Brian calls goal-setting the “Master Skill” of success, because as soon as you implement his proven method, you really can achieve anything you want: any level of success, no matter how you define it.

He's offering it NOW to help action-oriented individuals just like you prepare for huge results in the New Year.

During his 45-minute webinar, you learn:

The importance of prioritizing your activities – and a rule for deciding which ones to dedicate the most resources to (you just might be doing this all wrong, and that’s why you feel stuck)

One habit you MUST develop if you want to achieve your goals (without it, you may end up wishing for something more, but never actually experiencing it)

Why you MUST gain clarity when it comes to your goals, or you’re in danger of never achieving what you want

Where most of your obstacles come from – and why this is a good thing! (Master this and you’ll be surprised by how few obstacles you encounter on your new road to success)

Exactly how to break your goals into palatable steps, so even the biggest ones seem attainable (plus, you’ll have your own plan for reaching them, one step at a time)

The very same 12-step method Brian uses to achieve every goal, every time – use it like he does, and nothing can stop you

Brian has used this method, himself, for years – and he has achieved more success than many people do in a lifetime. One of HIS biggest goals is to help other people, just like you, to master his process, too. And because it's the holiday season, he’s on a mission to give the gift of the "Master Skill" of success to as many people as possible.

What Exactly Is Hypnosis?

Here is a dictionary definition:

Hypnosis is the induction of a state of consciousness in which a person is very conscious of suggestion or direction.

Going into a bit more detail though, you could say that hypnosis is often over exaggerated. Hypnosis is used to describe a trance like state.

However, actually we all go in and out of mild “trances” every day; such as in those moments when our minds wander and we fantasize, even when we just shut the planet out and deeply focus on a book we are reading.

These trance like states, and they are all safe and natural. Hypnosis simply puts you into one of these mild “trance” states purposefully , and over time the hypnotist plants simple, beneficial messages into your subconscious mind.

Far from being asleep or unaware, hypnosis is a wakeful state where you are both relaxed but your thoughts are focused.

Due to this heightened state of mind it is possible to use hypnosis to rewire your self beliefs and patterns of thinking.

To sum up very briefly it is often said that hypnosis gains access to the unconscious mind to eradicate the negative beliefs which hinder personal development.

What can be done?

Hypnosis has a history of treating phobic disorders and fears, or at least this is the way it first started out. It then started to be used with great success for weight loss and stopping smoking.

Hypnosis is now used for the reduction of almost any bad belief, it is used to help a wide range of health problems, and is massively effective for improving self beliefs such as confidence and self esteem.

Extrovert Me!- How to be insanely confident...

By Lee Benson


Hey, picture this...

You arrive at a party. When you walk in the room, EVERYONE stops and stares for a second, before crowding around you to talk.

Everyone wants a piece of you; you're the center of attention. When you speak, people LISTEN.

They cling to your every word. You crack jokes effortlessly, and people find you funny... irresistible... and strangely magnetic.

Members of the opposite sex can't help being around you. Everyone wants to be your friend... to seek your advice... to indulge in your stories. You're strong, attractive, confident, radiating power and respect.

You're the top of the food chain— the alpha personality that everyone loves and adores (and is secretly jealous of).

If that describes you, great — you're well aware of how this rare ability affords you an incredible lifestyle, fun and thrilling social encounters, and opens doors to career opportunities closed off to the general public.

But if that's NOT you, listen up... because you're seriously missing out. And what's more, you can be that person, almost immediately.

In fact, if you're the type who shies away in the corner... avoids social confrontation... can't stand being the center of attention (but would love to)... and is SCARED TO DEATH at the thought of standing up and speaking in front of a crowd of people... I can turn you into the most confident person in the room.

See, the reason you're shy and introverted isn't because you're any less social, humorous, intelligent or charismatic than others. Many confident people aren't smart or charismatic at all... they just don't fear what other people think of them.

As a child, you were conditioned to keep your mouth shut (Ever been told by your parents "Don't talk to strangers?".). You were ordered to obey authority figures like parents, teachers, adults. As a grown-up, this "learned" behaviour is like a knife to your confidence... and is no longer relevant to your life.

It's time to shake it off.

The good news is, you can completely *reverse* the conditioning that's no longer valuable in your adult life... in just minutes. It's quick, effortless, requires zero practice, and works even if you don't think it will.

That's because, I have access to a powerful hypnosis CD that targets your negative ego, and re-programs your mind to immediately enjoy greater confidence.

It's called "Extrovert Me" and it has already helped HUNDREDS of people kill confidence issues dead.

You can grab it instantly by Clicking Here:


There's only one catch-- with your new confidence,

you're going to enjoy some CRAZY social situations that may freak you out at the start... and I want you to e-mail me back and tell me all about them

when you do :-)

Benefits of using BrainEv to blitz stress and enjoy more relaxation in your life...

By BrainEv Team

I really wanted to share with you some of the awesome benefits of using a program such as BrainEv to blitz stress and enjoy more relaxation in your life.

All you have to do is sit back and listen to 30 minutes of relaxing audio per day, and just watch how your life changes!

Today, I'd like to share a few unsolicited stories we've swiped straight from our public user forums.

Just see what these folks have to say, and decide whether you could benefit yourself:

"The benefits of completing the BrainEv course have been amazing. I cannot say enough good about it. Insomnia 99% eliminated, reading comprehension has increased as well as speed, nervous twitch eliminated, more confident with myself and of course calmer." -user "HOG Rider"

"I have noticed a tranquillity within myself that was never there before, and other people have noticed it as well. I handle high stress and volatile situations much better than I used to, and I have recently found myself entering into deeper states than I did in the past. My thoughts are not nearly as loud or busy, and I am much calmer and collected these days. This is consistent with many other BrainEv users." -user JeDale

"The results have been absolutely amazing, and it seemed to become very
powerful at Level 5 for me. Am now going through Levels 1-6 for six days as recommended upon completion. I can definitely say that BrainEv is worth every penny!" -user Bvalent

"Conclusion: I have just expounded on how BrainEv has reset my brain and enabled me to produce more alpha, theta and delta, obviously a better, balanced,
contented state of mind. There have been numerous other gains. But to write them all up would fill a book! I so recommend BrainEv! It costs virtually nothing. It has transformed my perception of life. There is a money-back guarantee. What is holding you back? Go for it." -user PureBliss


"I used to suffer from low self-esteem and low self-confidence. At Level 4, I can say that my self-confidence has grown so much that I feel I can talk or interact with anybody. I can't even remember the reasons why I used to be scared of getting out of my comfort zone. I run an Amway network marketing business. My business wasn't really doing great because it was so hard for me to come across as a confident leader.

Today, I'm having so much fun that I can talk to anyone about my business
without hearing this voice in my head saying 'Run, run! This is not a safe situation.' I still get rejections, but I don't make a big deal out of it. Can't wait to see the results after I completed Level 6!" -user Leader1

Don't waste time missing out for any longer.

Most responsible and powerful way to move forward and create change....

By Allana Pratt

Dear great glorious Friends,

He was feeling emasculated by his wife, behaving passive aggressively with her.

He wasn't into his job, not clear what he wanted to do next with his life, feeling insecure and indecisive about his decisions...

And his son was now starting to behave with hesitancy as well.

He didn't have tons of extra cash so we decided the two discounted private sessions with my Dear Lover DVD was the most responsible and powerful way to move forward and create change.

Our first private session was mind blowing.

I fell in love with this man's soul. What a great heart.

You see I don't tell people what to do.

I don't honesty know what's going to happen in a particular session.

I do trust that I will know what questions to ask.

I know I can hold an impeccable, safe, unconditionally loving space.

And I trust my spot on intuition to simply follow the energy to the place of lightness, clarity and freedom...

In just the first session... not only did we clear up the past with his parents, with his decisions with grad school, with money, with his wife... I was drawn to lead him through an extraordinary guided visualization with God.

It gave me shivers.

This man was able to 100% shift his point of view from getting his self-worth and security from external circumstances (always seeking more validation, more money, more something to be enough)... he shifted to knowing his self-worth, self-esteem and security from the inside out... seeing himself as God did.

I hope I remember this right, yet I swear they were drinking Scotch together in the visualization.

Breathtaking how quickly he got it.

Got the truth of his magnificence.

THEN it was time for our 2nd session, yet he lost his job, or maybe it was his wife lost her job, yet instead of pulling out of his commitment, he created a payment plan to make it work and we reconnected just last week.

HIS LIFE IS OFF THE CHARTS!

He's been watching and implementing the DVD curriculum, listening to our first session... yet get this....

He and his brother went hunting, talked for hours and he was a leader suggesting his brother consider forgiving their parents and move on.

1. He and his wife are now going to water aerobics and have lost all this weight

2. AND they are having way better sex, of course

3. AND they went to this theme hotel and stayed in the Hay Stack Loft Room for their anniversary! Bow chicka bow bow...

4. AND when his van called it quits, instead of acquiescing and getting the car she wanted, he actually spoke his truth, researched other options and together they decided on what worked for them both.

AND GET THIS!!!!!

He's been uncertain with what he wants to do, not clear on his purpose, not feeling empowered, driven and in his power...right?

So now he's found a private correctional facility for young men that has really turned him on and vibrantly awakened his purpose.

When we started, he had fear that nearly crippled his capacity for action or self-worth.

Now he's standing up, speaking his truth, reconnecting with his wife, he's invigorated in his relationship with his brother, and is stoked for the possibilities of this new career path.

I have to admit I had tears in my eyes at how magnificently he's applied himself, at how far he's come, at how he made it work to complete our 2 life altering sessions, at how he's returned to his core power, confidence and capacity to create his life.

Can't you just feel what it's like for his boys to witness his shifts?

To feel the love increase in the home?

To watch Dad celebrate incremental steps, little victories, and keep going?

I am so honored, blessed and touched to be able to connect so intimately him and with incredible men like you... about issues that really matter... creating results that make life worth living again.

You have it in you to apply yourself and create shifts.

I am the catalyst to tip you into the next dimension with laser sharp guidance and effective results.

And I'm soooo honored to love you at such a profound time of expansion on the planet.

I love watching a great man like you do the deep work and soar.

It's like witnessing a Knight become a King.

Know I believe in you, that you living your dreams makes my feminine goddess energy awaken and sizzle.

AND I promise... you 'on your game' will make you the man who gets her into the Hay Stack Loft Room saying yes, Yes YES!

Deliciously yours,

Allana

p.s. How would you like to tap into the magnetically sex and noble person that I know you are... the Dear Lover DVD can give you the freedom, power and fulfillment you are looking for...

Why I Hate Fashion?

On my personal blog, amongst the chatter and occasional rant, I sometimes post pictures of myself before I go out — for errands, for a nice dinner, just sitting around. I enjoy sharing with my readers the different things I wear, and I love seeing pictures of the bloggers I follow. It may be vain, sure, but I certainly don’t think it’s hurting anybody. And last night, before a dinner with friends, I posted a picture of myself wearing a skirt, a light sweater, and an Italian-scarf-and-brooch combination that once belonged to my grandmother. Amongst all of the things I wear, my grandmother’s clothes and jewelry are the most important, the most treasured. I wear them with pride because I love her, I miss her, and she was a beautiful, elegant woman who cared for all of her lovely belongings and passed them down to me. As the oldest of many cousins, and the daughter of her oldest child, some of her most prized possessions went to my family. When I wear them, I feel more beautiful than I do in anything else.

And with the photo, like with any other, came the usual little smattering of comments and questions. Sometimes I ask for an opinion on things, and my readers are honest enough to give me constructive criticism — which I wholly appreciate. But this time, there was no survey, I was simply showing off the scarf and brooch that I was proud and happy to be wearing. I felt beautiful and elegant and like my grandmother would have called me a “young lady.” I shared simply to share. And amongst the responses I got came one that really stopped me in my tracks:

“Please spare us your “#what i wore” posts. Yours are some of the least interesting clothes. They can’t even be justified as retro or conservative, because that can be done without inducing yawns (see Derek Lam Fall 2012, among others). Not saying you need to abide by any sense of trendiness, but just develop some sense of style or quit it with those posts.”

There is something about this seemingly innocuous comment that, to me, represents all that is truly wrong and awful about the concept of “fashion” itself. This comment isn’t outright “mean,” and it’s not insulting me personally or calling me ugly names, but it is undermining any attempt I made to feel beautiful by reminding me — with a succinct dropping of a fashion name I surely can’t relate to — that I am not “stylish.” Even if I look “acceptable” or “good,” I am not “fashionable” by any means. There was some invisible test going on, and I failed it. And this attitude is so pervasive in our culture, especially amongst young people and in big cities. There is this idea that having “taste” and being “stylish” are far, far removed from wearing things that look good on you, or that make you feel good. The competition arises not from making yourself look the best you can, but from having the most knowledgeable and interesting combination of labels and trends possible.

I have made fun of things like The Sartorialist and super-high-end boutiques before here, and I usually do it with a sense of humor and not too much seriousness, but I feel truly hurt by it quite often. When I look at things like street fashion photography, and see the way they consistently eschew the the opportunity to present real people in all shapes and sizes looking beautiful in things that weren’t necessarily expensive or hard-to-find to just show the same thin, beautiful people in designer clothes — I feel even worse about the way we are looking at each other. It is yet another reminder — couched in a genre that tries to present itself as featuring “real” people–that there is pretty, but then there is fashionable, and you should never pretend you are the latter if you are just the former.

Pictures people post of themselves on blogs and personal sites are often in a similar vein. People who take pride in capturing what they wear are often the same kind who abide by “style books,” and Coco Chanel’s rules, and what came down the runway at Paris Fashion Week. They’re beautiful, and always wearing such interesting and fresh clothes–but let’s not forget that that is their interest. It’s their hobby. It’s what they like to do. Just as some of us may like sports or art or movies, they are interested in fashion. In this way, it’s not just an average person demonstrating what they put on in the morning, it’s someone who cultivated and worked on a “look” and are now putting it out there in hopes of approval. It’s wonderful in its own way, but it doesn’t mean that people who aren’t necessarily “into fashion” can’t do the same. And appreciating a girl in a nice new dress she found at H&M is just as simple as appreciating a girl showing off her new Celine bag with a vintage Chanel dress, in perfectly coiffed hair and bold red lipstick. It’s just not the same thing.

When I get dressed in the morning, I do so with the intention of feeling as beautiful as possible. I almost never wear pants, for example, because I feel much more myself and happy in skirts and dresses. Some people might find it strange, or tell me about all the beautiful outfits I am missing out on — and I do love the looks other women put together in pants, don’t get me wrong–but I don’t care. I like looking the way I feel comfortable. Most of my clothes were inexpensive, but I care for the nice things I have and maintain them well — especially the things I’ve inherited. Some days I might go out looking less-than-perfect, but it’s not the end of the world. There is pressure in cities to look good at all times, but I try my best to fight it and remember that I am beautiful as I am. And there is nothing more sad than having an entire industry — and the people who “live by it” — tell me that I am not good enough, that I just missed the mark. I don’t want my life dictated by what is “in season,” and I don’t need to spend half of my monthly disposable income on a new bag. I just want to wear clothes that flatter me, feel beautiful in my own skin, and enjoy my own style.

Fashionable people do wear some incredible, beautiful things, but they shouldn’t have a monopoly on what it means to look good.

Optimize Your Life

By Chris Cade

Lately I've been really interested in looking at the meaning of words in new ways. Words are the primary way we communicate (especially in digital mediums). And they are symbols for what lies in our minds, both consciously and subconsciously.

By redefining words consciously, you can actually begin to rewire your subconscious for your benefit. That's because as we live more consciously, our subconscious is also affected (whether we're trying or not).

Today, I'm going to look at "optimism." In most contexts, we think of optimism as assuming a positive outcome. The first definition in a dictionary supports this view:

"A tendency to expect the best possible outcome or dwell on the most hopeful aspects of a situation"

In other words, it's an expectation that the future will be ideal.

What's missing from this equation though is context. Who exactly decides what is "more ideal" or "best possible outcome" or "hopeful aspects"?

Is it your ego? How does that compare if somebody else's ego disagrees?

For example a tennis match. Both players are optimistic that they will win. Each player has practiced for many years and has a variety of excellent techniques to defeat their opponents.

Yet only one can win. Therefore, we have to ask:

Does optimism serve them both?

Sure they both can expect to win. Sure both can prepare to win. Since only one can win though, this view of optimism is limited.

I'm beginning to wonder about a different way of looking at optimism. Here's two other definitions of optimism:

"(a) The doctrine that this world is the best of all possible worlds.

-and-

"(b) The belief that the universe is improving and that good will ultimately triumph over evil."

Regardless of whether we look at it from the perspective of good versus evil, I particularly resonate with these two definitions.

What if instead of viewing the world as inherently good or evil, we viewed it in terms of optimization?

What if instead of asking "Why do bad things happen to good people?" we asked, "How might this experience ~optimize~ for the greatest benefit of the world?"

This perspective makes a lot more sense when we consider the definitions of "optimize:"

"(a) To make as effective, perfect, or useful as possible."

"(b) to make the best of."

In this view, it's no longer about being hopeful or optimistic in the traditional sense. It's not about thinking positively about our own unique situation.

We're challenged to ask bigger questions. Questions that go beyond just what our egos want to say about how an "ideal" situation looks.

We can think about optimization in a larger sense. We can consider how our own personal experience might be contributing to a larger whole.

It's often said "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts." Thus, if we are all parts of a whole, it stands to reason that our personal "optimizations" are contributing to the whole...

And often in ways we can't know or comprehend.

When we step the ego aside for a little while, we have an opportunity to experience optimism in this new way. Experiences, however personal they are, however difficult they are, might just be a doorway through which the Universe is optimizing itself.

The interesting thing about optimization is that we can't know what it looks like. Some might say that an optimized car might go faster in a shorter time period. That is true. However, an optimized car also might use less resources, be lighter, recycle easier, be easier to drive, or just an awesome stereo.

All of those are ways in which optimization for a vehicle could happen. Yet if we only focus on making faster cars, we lose out on the possibility that there's many ways to optimize a car.

Or maybe, while trying to optimize a car a totally different technology is discovered... perhaps giving rise to a new supercomputer or flying saucer technology.

Take for example this story...

Alexander Fleming was a scientific researcher in the early 1900's who had been on vacation. After returning, then working, he set aside a stack of bacterial cultures.

When he returned to the laboratory, he discovered that one of those cultures had been contaminated with a fungus. He also noticed that all the bacteria around that fungus had been destroyed.

This was how one of the greatest disease-preventing agents in history was accidentally discovered. It was named "penicillin."

Sure there's lots of accidental discoveries in the world. It happens all the time. Perhaps that's because the Universe seems to have an optimizing nature about it.

We don't always understand what is being optimized. We don't always know why. But it seems that there's something about experiences that gives us the opportunity to optimize personally and as a collective.

Similarly, there's also different ways to optimize your life. You can't know exactly what "more confidence" will look like in your life. And yet, as you develop your confidence more fully, your life optimizes as a byproduct.

Maybe you engage more socially. Maybe you ask for a raise. Maybe you start a new business. Maybe you challenge your partner to live more fully and lovingly. Or maybe it will lead you to take a risk that leads to a new discovery about yourself.

Who knows?

All we know is that when we view the world through the lens of "optimization," it creates a land of mysterious and unknown possibilities.

Think about it. Give it a try. See what you discover.

Weird 'mind' trick that re-wires your behavior...

What are stage hypnotists hiding from you?
WEIRD secret (for changing any behavior fast)...

Have you ever wondered how TV & stage hypnotists can *instantly* put someone in a trance and change their behavior... just by uttering a few magic words?

It may sound crazy, but you can actually leverage this strange hypnotic power to 'trick' your brain's wiring and change literally ANY behavior you want... in less than 5 minutes from now... even if you believe you're 'immune' to that kind of stuff.

It works so fast for anybody, that it's actually a little scary... only click if you're ready for very fast and sudden change (like crazy self-confidence).
