Making ‘Shyness’ A Thing of the Past!

Making ‘Shyness’ A Thing of the Past is done by overcoming  the tendency to feel awkward, worried or tense during social encounters. 

“Shyness is inherently uncomfortable; introversion is not. The traits do overlap, though psychologists debate to what degree.”–Susan Cain

Have you had some difficulty coping with people or situations? Then I have some great news for you. There is absolutely no need for you to suffer from shyness any longer. There’s also no need for you to feel insecure and fear that you are being judged with every step you take.

Winning the war over shyness will take some  practice, but is definitely well worth the effort and the result will be an  increase of confidence and self esteem.   You can begin to wake up feeling good about yourself, able to face the world with confidence and security in the knowing that no feeling of shyness can come between your way of achieving your desires.

There are hundreds of books written on the subject of how you can overcome shyness and gain confidence, but here are a few techniques that anyone can practice.

Suggestions for overcoming shyness:

1. Daily, when you arise, get in front of a mirror and say out loud “I feel terrific! I feel terrific! I feel terrific!”

Repeat this affirmation with enthusiasm at least ten times daily  until it’s ingrained into your subconscious mind. This will  feel a bit self conscious at first, so it’s okay to lock yourself in the bathroom. The results will amaze you.

2. Always feel good about yourself.

Do this by first looking your best. Dress up more often. This gives you an extra feeling of confidence and self esteem. On its own,  just knowing that you look good will boost your confidence and reinforce with others that there are things about you that are worth getting to know.

3. Take a risk at least once a day.

Taking risks is very invigorating and helps you  conquer fears.  Risk taking also helps you grow in confidence and self esteem. Begin with small risks and fears and as you overcome them move onto bigger challenges. There’s nothing you cannot do. Be confident in knowing that change will  only help you grow, and boost your self confidence.

4. When you are engaged in a one on one conversation, or with a larger group of people, let them know that you’re shy.

This prevents them from misreading you and they are far more likely to invite you into the conversation rather than leave you just listening and wishing you could contribute.

Many people, me included, find following a conversation in a noisy room difficult. If you are having difficulty hearing, let them know, so all can move so that you can hear. People respect honesty, and vulnerability and you will attract more honest people into your life as a result.

5. Realize that rejection is a fact of life that everyone experiences.

The fact is, is that it is rarely you that is being rejected. If you are rejected for some reason or another, don’t take it personal, learn from it.  We are all different and will not agree on everything, whether it’s for a date or joining a business opportunity.

Rejection does not devalue you in any way. Accept this and know that you will get over it. Never take it personally and keep in mind that if people reject you it is because of their own likes and dislikes and not because of who you are. You are equally entitled to reject others because of your likes and dislikes.

6. Engage in activities that make you feel excited and good about yourself or start a hobby that gives you a feeling of relaxation.

This could be range from anything from gardening to dancing, Tai Chi or Karate. Take some lessons, learn or master a musical instrument or take singing lessons. Do something that excites you and makes you take a risk. Exploring things that make you feel excited is a great antidote for making “Shyness” a thing of the past..

“My first language was shy. It’s only by having been thrust into the limelight that I have learned to cope with my shyness.”–Al Pacino

What Are The Benefits Of Traffic Exchanges? Here’s The Top Five

One of the many Benefits of Traffic Exchanges is that they are just one of the many ways for website owners to drive traffic to their websites.

There are many reasons why you should take advantage of Traffic Exchanges. What are some of these benefits you ask?

The Five Top Benefits of Traffic Exchanges:

1. Quick Traffic

Unlike SEO where you need to wait a few months (a few weeks if you’re lucky) before you can see traffic coming in, with traffic exchanges you will be able to see traffic right away.

2. Cheap Traffic

Being cheap is another one of the many benefits of traffic exchanges and website owners are looking to benefit this cost effective advertising.  Some websites actually offer free accounts, as well as, paid memberships as upgrades. This is so unlike pay-per-click (PPC) advertising where you are required to pay for every click on your advertisement.

3. Great for Testing

Traffic exchanges are a great way to test the effectiveness of your ad copy. Traffic exchanges are set up so that people are forced to view web pages, unlike in PPC ad campaigns where people can click on your ad and quickly click on the x button, which is money wasted.

4. Competitor Intelligence

Joining traffic exchanges actually gives you the opportunity to see what your competitors are up to. If you’re new to online business, you will know which products are hot and what strategies are being used to sell things online.

5. Opportunity to gain even more Traffic

Traffic exchange websites lets you earn more traffic through your referrals or downlines, as well as surf to obtain downline referrals. This is the most unique of the benefits of traffic exchange.

For all the ‘benefits’ mentioned above, I believe that traffic exchanges should be on your list of sources of traffic.

Effective Planning

Effective Planning is known as Goal Setting.

“Learn from the past, set vivid, detailed goals for the future, and live in the only moment of time over which you have any control: now.”–Denis Waitley

Effective Planning or goal setting is what will illuminate the road to your success.

“Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible.”–Tony Robbins

“If you set goals and go after them with all the determination you can muster, your gifts will take you places that will amaze you.”–Les Brown

“Our goals can only be reached through a vehicle of a plan, in which we must fervently believe, and upon which we must vigorously act. There is no other route to success.”–Pablo Picasso

The Purpose of Effective Planning is:

1.  To direct your time, entry, talents, and skills into the areas where they will be the most effective in leading you towards your vision.

2.  Will make the most effective use of your congenial competencies, by  using them to establish a more meaningful pattern of success.

3.  Help you identify the results you expect to achieve, then measure your progress towards those results, and make any corrections necessary along the way to achieving your results.

4.  Help you identify any obstacles in the pathway of your success, then deal with them more effectively.

“Crystallize your goals. Make a plan for achieving them and set yourself a deadline. Then, with supreme confidence, determination and disregard for obstacles and other people’s criticisms, carry out your plan.”–Paul J Meyer

“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.”–Henry David Thoreau

A goal will not be effective if you don’t make it ‘specific and measurable’.  Goal setting is a left brain activity, however, your right brain can play a role in helping you meet your desired goals.  Effective Planning, therefore, would be using both sides of your brain.

In Effective Planning each goal that you achieve will take you closer to your vision.  So set your goals, work hard to achieve them by directing your efforts in a systematic way.

Law of Attraction Guidelines...

The Law of Attraction is the name given to the belief that “like attracts like” and that by focusing on positive or negative thoughts, one can bring about positive or negative results. The law of attraction, like all other laws, have ‘guidelines’ that need to be applied for maximum success.

The universe is an forever unfolding world of mystery.  When you discover the secrets to being a ‘cosmic magnet’ the world and money will honor your desires.

“We are not onlookers peering into the unified field of separate, objective reality – we are the unified field. We can reach beyond the physical body and extend the influence of intelligence. Every thought you are thinking creates a wave in the unified field. It ripples through all the layers of intellect, mind, senses, and matter, spreading out in wider and wider circles. You are like a light radiating not photons but consciousness. As they radiate, your thoughts have an effect on everything. Your relationship to life is the same as that of one cell to your whole body. One cell can talk to your whole body. One cell can influence your whole body. You can talk to the whole of life – influence the whole of life. The whole of life is as alive as we are. The distinction between ‘in here’ and ‘out there’ is a false one – as if the heart disregarded the skin because it was not on the inside.”–Deepak Chopra

While affirmations work for many things they don’t necessarily work well for manifesting money; it’s because of the deeply entrenched belief that most people have regarding money. It could take a lifetime for some for those beliefs to change; and while that belief is unchanged the money problems continue.

“Think of this random Universe where everything is possible. The organizational skills belong to Law of Attraction. If you will relax and allow Law of Attraction to do the organization and the managing, then you can spend your time doing the things that please you.”–Abraham Hicks

Have you ever noticed that the things you seem to have the most difficulty with are those things which have the most power over you? Money happens to be one thing in physical reality that has power over most people. If you truly understood the nature of reality and how it works, money would cease to be a problem.

It is possible to switch the dynamic and begin to Master Money.

Three Law of Attraction Guidelines to help you begin to Master Money:

1.  Money Becomes the Servant while You become the Master.

As you switch your perspective, your world will begin to change.  Seeing Money as an ‘entity’ which is here to serve you. You are the divine one, here to experience life in this physical body.

You are never to be a slave to money, instead you should become master above money while money serves you.

This is a tiny shift in perspective,  but a powerful one!

2. See Experience as More Important Than Money.

Many people are trying to use the Law of Attraction to manifest more money , yet they are going about it in the wrong manner.  They are ‘chasing money’ as opposed to having ‘money come’ to them. If you practice limiting  the things you think you need and begin to focus more on ‘experience’ than having “things,” you then free up your ability to become a magnet.

You see, the more experiences you have, the more expanded you become.  Money tends to flow to one who is in an expanded state. The more experiences you have,  the richer you feel and the richer you act. You now value life and the uniqueness of experience much more than you value ‘things.’

From this state of being you are not ‘wanting money’ so you become a magnet drawing money, and now money will come and come abundantly. The Law of Attraction honors this state of being and thereby rewards you for it.

As you increase your life experiences you will begin to increase your vibration and attraction.

3.   Higher Vibration Mode Makes You a Powerful Money Magnet.

As you expand in vibration you increase your ability to draw things to you easily.  Higher vibration brings with it  more power. There are many advanced manifesting techniques that can dramatically shift your Law of Attraction practices to the next level. These vibrations are phenomenal when used with a clear intention.

Shifting your vibration can be very hard for the average person. It’s usually because when you are bombarded with the daily frustrations, you may begin to doubt that the Law of Attraction is even working in your favor.

“You are a creator; you create with your every thought.You often create by default, for you are getting what you are giving your attention to wanted or unwanted but you know by how it feels if what you are getting (creating) is what you are wanting or if it is not what you are wanting. (Where is your attention focused?)–Abraham Hicks

“Keep your thoughts positive, because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive, because your words become your behaviours. Keep your behaviours positive, because your behaviours become your habits. Keep your habits positive, because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive, because your values become your destiny.” – Gandhi

The Law of Attraction has guidelines to be followed in order to attract what it is you desire. There are Cosmic forces which will remove mental, physical and emotional blocks that are unseen to your present self. These Cosmic forces intensify your desires and draw them much easier to you. You will become an easy magnet for money without the struggle. What you want wants you. While others wait weeks and months for what they want the cosmic forces help you in manifesting faster. It’s purely magical, or is it divine?

Possessing Courage!

Courage is defined as greatness of heart; the quality of mind or spirit that enables a person to meet difficulty, danger, pain or fear with a boldness.

“Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.”–Winston Churchill

“Courage is grace under pressure.”–Ernest Hemingway

“Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear, not absence of fear.”–Mark Twain

God commanded Joshua ‘three times’ to be strong and have ‘good courage’ and assured him of His constant presence if His commandments were obeyed. (Joshua 1:8-9)

He promised that: “The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them.” (Deuteronomy 33:27)

“You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face.  You are able to say to yourself, ‘I lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.”–Eleanor Roosevelt

Knowing the Lord and obeying His commandments are the two main ingredients for the God kind of courage:

El Shaddai, the All-Sufficient and Mighty One is on your side!

He is Jehovah-nissi; the Lord, your Victory Banner. (Exodus 17:15)

Isn’t it interesting that the victory banner is hoisted AFTER the battle! That means that the battle is already won! Christ’s defeat of Satan on the cross has made you more than a conqueror. (Romans 8:37)

Let God know about the battles you’re facing and then nestle underneath the everlasting arms while he destroys your enemy.

Understand that you have the privilege and honor of being  equipped with the full armor of God. Moses and Joshua were assured of God’s presence and guidance due to their obedience to the Law. Therefore, through Christ’s sacrifice you too have the assurance of having already overcome because “greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.” (I John 4:4)

“You will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.”–Aristotle

“It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.”–Alan Cohen

David’s only physical armor in his battle against Goliath was a slingshot! To the heavily armored giant he shouted:

“Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear; but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of Hosts, the God of the armies.” (1 Samuel 17:45)

David was the ONLY person who knew without a doubt that God would deliver Goliath into his hands! There had been a number of battles to overthrow the Philistines – to no avail. His brother ridiculed him, the giant jeered at him, and both armies stood by in total disbelief and amusement.

Then he ran up to the man whom everyone feared, with only ‘five smooth stones’ in his hand but fully armed with the anointing of the Lord of Hosts. There was not an iota of doubt in him as he knew his God; His faithfulness, His previous exploits and, most of all, His intimate fellowship with him. (1 Samuel 17)

Are you being influenced by voices of doubt and unbelief? Or do you take courage in the strength and full protection of the Lord of Hosts? Don’t forget to put on His armor. It’s not heavy but it will help you to stand and be courageous.

Possessing Courage also means being fully armed:

-The Helmet of Salvation.  (Jesus your Lord and Savior)

-The breastplate of Righteousness. (Which protects your heart and most vulnerable parts.)

-The Shield of Faith to ward off doubt and unbelief.

-The Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God.

-Shoes of The Gospel of Peace.

-The Belt of Truth.

“Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be  dismayed: for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:9)

Possessing Courage is important because:

It takes courage to love.  It takes courage to forgive; because you run the risk of rejection, ridicule and scorn.  But take heart; because ‘love motivates courage.’

“Courage is the most important of all the virtues, because without courage you can’t practice any other virtue consistently. You can practice any virtue erratically, but nothing consistently without courage.”–Maya Angelou

Called Out in Order to Go Forward!

There will be many times when we are “Called Out in Order to Go Forward!”

We were not put on this earth for sedentary lives.  We were placed here for a purpose; and because of this purpose,  we are called out,  so that we can proceed forward.   Called out of comfort zones and from any place that hinders us from doing the work of God.

Assertive Behavior!

Assertive Behavior means that you express yourself aggressively and stand up for your own personal rights and point of view.  Being confident.

Assertive behavior is a life skill which can be both useful in your inner being, as well as, outward appearance.  It doesn’t happen overnight, but through continued practice and possibly years of fine tuning.

And while you may not always get what you want, when you want,  you will always know that you gave it your best effort.

“Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside of ourselves will affect us.”–Stephen R Covey

Some tips for improving your Assertive Behavior:

1. You Must Believe in Yourself.

Practice always thinking  positively and feeding  yourself with positive inner dialogue. Daily stand in front of a mirror, look yourself in the eye, and tell yourself how wonderful you are!

2. Realize That The Only Person You Can Change is You.

You can only change what you do; and that a change in your behavior will often afford others the opportunity to behave differently towards you.

3. Respond Instead of Reacting!

Begin to start choosing how to behave, based on admitting and accepting the consequences.  Accept the fact that you – and only you – have made the choice.  No one can force you to make a choice.

4. Never Beat Yourself up For Past Behaviors and Decisions!

Instead, turn every situation into a positive learning opportunity for future behavioral change.

5. Be Aware of Your Body Language.

Make sure your body language matches your words: people tend to believe what they see rather than what they hear.

6. Instill  the Green Cross code:

Stop, Look, and Listen – then Think,  before you respond.  This will ensure that  you will stay in control of your emotions, as well as,  the situation at hand.  This will also afford other’s the opportunity to do the same.

7. Always Aim for a  Resolution-Never Self-defense.

Concentrate on the “situation at hand” rather than your own feelings, recognizing  that the other person is more probably angry about the “situation” -not  necessarily  you.

8. Always Choose Your Words Wisely.

Lose the words which signal  you’re a  pushover.  Such as: “I’m terribly sorry”, or “I’m afraid”, or “Could you possibly…?” or “Can I just …?”.

Substitute big “I” statements followed by factual descriptions,  instead of,  judgments or exaggerations. This will encourage the other person to do the same.

9. Just say “NO.”

Learn to  afford yourself all of the rights you allow everyone else to have.  You are not refusing them personally, you are refusing their request.

10. Possess a “Can Do” attitude.

Believe that things don’t just happen to you – but that you have the ability to make them happen.

Assertive Behavior is a positive form of aggressiveness. When we are assertive in our behavior, we have the strength to resist negative or hurtful influences. We have the ability to think for ourselves, ask for what we need, and speak up to protect ourselves, as well as, others.
