Whatever the age a person is when he/she dies, those who loved him/her will experience grief. That grief will come in many forms-anger, sadness, loneliness, relief, guilt and many other emotions or combinations of all of the above.
There are different names we can put to the ceremony where we pay tribute to that person: funeral, memorial, celebration of life. But whatever we name it and however it is done, grief will be a part of it.
Traditionally, funerals were held in a church and were attended by entire communities and large extended families. The church minister, priest, rabbi or pastor would lead the service. Today, there are still many funerals that follow this more traditional way of saying goodbye.
While I was online looking into Hale Dwoskin’s personal story I was pleased to find that a system his former mentor Lester Levenson taught him –had been evaluated and approved by Harvard University and the experts from that prestigious institution who researched his program claim that the methods used in the techniques that Levenson devised are sound and actually work for anyone who takes the time to learn his simple do-it-yourself system. My immediate thought around that was “If Harvard stands behind the program, it has to be a sound system built around proven methods that give evidence of its success and credibility”. With that idea firmly set in my mind I went on to learn about the unique relationship that Levenson and Hale Dwoskin forged during the time they shared together. As both friends and partners introducing people to what Lester dubbed as “The Sedona Method” they went on to motivate and inspire folks from all walks of life.
Self esteem does have a phenomenal effect in one’s life. The concept of self esteem is one of the oldest aspects in psychology. There are numerous ways by which one can build his self esteem and regain his self belief and self confidence.
Self esteem can be built by making a conscious effort in the following areas:
1. Stop being very critical about your personality and your actions. Instead of finding inadequacies and faults with your self, think about your strengths and virtues. This will immensely boost your self confidence. Every time you are faced with a challenging situation, motivating your self by saying encouraging words to your self.
Why do people feel reborn after Baptism? How does prayer impact our basic neural structure? How does belief help people overcome extreme hardship and suffering? Why does religious conversion cause people to experience the world fundamentally differently? Why do troubled souls find peace in prayer? Why are there so many different religions across the globe?
Throughout recorded history these questions have been answered primarily through personal experience and religious authority. Now, advanced scientific research is beginning to uncover a structural basis for these impacts in the nature of the brain itself.
Stress! Everyone can relate to that overwhelming feeling. It creeps up on you at work, at home, sometimes even on your vacation. How can one impact this? How can one end the vicious cycle of stress?
The people that attend our programs are there to create breakthrough results in the areas of their life that matter most, including career, relationships, and productivity. Each person brings his or her own set of life experiences to the course. However, one commonality that I often find among participants is that they feel stressed. They are stressed about their jobs, their kids, responsibilities, schedules, and on and on. Many participants, including extremely successful individuals, communicate that they sometimes feeling overwhelmed by what they have to deal with in their day-to-day lives, and they don’t know what to do about it.
What is the definition of fear to you? Is it a deep sense of feeling that will immobilize your motion and thinking? I believe we have various definitions of fear, but the commonality is that we understand that fear is in all of us. Have you ever seen a tigress protect her cubs when under threat? Tigresses are overly cautious and secretive when caring for young cubs. She will immediately move them if the area becomes disturbed or threatened. Under extreme case, she would attack her predator if she has to.
Of course, lack of self esteem or self confidence can harshly affect the number of successes you may enjoy throughout your everyday life. But more than that, lack of confidence can continue to build each day until you are “frozen with fear” … unable to make even the simplest decision in your life, for fear it may be the wrong one. And each time, the guilt created by your attitude towards your indecision severely curtails your self esteem even further.
It is a vicious cycle and, unfortunately, more common than you may think.
Probabilitism? I just invented the word to describe an ideology of living life according to the odds, or more specifically, making decisions according to them. Life, after all, is all about making decisions, and we need some guide for making better ones.
The most common explicit guide to decision making is morality. However, this only eliminates some choices, leaving us with a sub-set of acceptable ones. With these many possible options, we have just the usual guides to decision and action, which include feelings, advice from others, and our general intuition about which choices are better.
Think before you use drugs is an easy thing for me to say now. I used to use drugs regularly for about 4 years. I started out smoking marijuana and ended up smoking crack and sniffing heroin and crystal meth. My story isn’t a story about how I brought my self down, how I became homeless or how I destroyed my brain. I did at one point I think have a small stroke when speed balling crystal meth and special K. I have managed to recover my brain function and I managed to go on with my life in a somewhat normal way.
Wrong, you’ll never become effective at managing your time if you think you are the only one who can do anything correctly. The ugly truth is most people can do many of the things you’re doing now better than you can. You may even recognize this, but you still don’t let them because: you feel threatened, you don’t want to take the time to show someone else how, or you don’t want to spend the money. Until you recognize the value of allowing someone else to do the things that aren’t a strength for you, you’ll remain resistant to the idea.
