By keeping organized and utilizing my time wisely, procrastination melts away.

Living an ordered life helps me accomplish my goals. I am so happy that I am in control of my projects and goals.

Being productive is important to me because I want to live an active and purposeful life and when I reach my goals, I feel proud of myself.

In order to be productive in my life, I keep organized.

It is important for me to find ways to organize my desk, to remove paper clutter from my life, and to arrange my home into a peaceful environment.

I do not put off tackling chores because I know that my neatness will make completing any given task easier.

By managing my time wisely, I stay on track.

Using calendars to mark important dates and meetings, writing schedules in my planner, and setting deadlines for myself, are all ways of making sure I use my time wisely.

Completing tasks is so much easier because I choose to manage my time effectively.

When I procrastinate, I feel frozen by inaction, but I can overcome this feeling.

By keeping organized and using my time wisely, procrastination melts away.

Warmth spreads from my fingers to my toes. All of that pent up energy is released and I am free to complete my projects.

It is such a relief to be organized. The systems I have in my life make my daily chores more manageable.

I am able to classify projects and accomplish them in a sensible way.

Effectively using my time means I can get even more accomplished and by finishing my tasks, I am prepared for the excitement of a new challenge.

How can you introduce more order into your life?

Five Simple Brainstorming Techniques

It happens to all of us.

We reach that dead end where we simply run out of fresh ideas and we helplessly fumble for solutions that have escaped us.

What can we do to get the creative juices flowing again?

One of the best strategies to resolve this dilemma is to use a brainstorming session.

The basic technique is easy as 1-2-3:

Think of many ideas in a short period of time.
Jot them all down.
Go back and evaluate each idea’s possibilities.

These brainstorming sessions can be invaluable when trying to come up with fresh, outside the box, ideas so we can work towards an effective solution to a difficult challenge.

Here are five tips to help you make the most of your brainstorming sessions:

1. Get outside input. Instead of going at it alone, get some help.

Gather a few of the most creative people you know for a group brainstorming session.

After all, two (or three or four) heads are better than one.

These other participants may come up with some great ideas that may never have occurred to you otherwise.

2. Let people have fun brainstorming. Relaxed people generally feel more creative, so encourage your group to pace, recline in their chairs, or turn it into a game – whatever they need to do to enable the flow of ideas.

3. Write down all of your ideas. Even if you come up with some wild ideas, write them down anyway.

They may be more viable than you think!

Some of the greatest breakthroughs in history came from ideas that were considered as pretty outlandish at first.

Write it all down and revisit it later.

This is a time for gathering ideas, not for shooting ideas down.

Avoid discouraging participants in your group because they won’t participate as freely and they might keep the perfect solution to themselves.

4. Be creative and try something different. If you can’t see a solution right away, think of the problem from a fresh perspective.

Look at it from a different viewpoint and maybe a new solution will present itself.

Traditional solutions don’t have to be the only way to solve problems, and getting creative may get the ball rolling towards the ideal solution!

Many successful entrepreneurs have a talent for observing people’s wants and needs.

Then they find or invent a creative new solution.

Watch the world around you and don’t be afraid to experiment with new ideas or unusual solutions.

Try combining ideas. Whether you’re brainstorming on your own or as part of a group, you may need to mash different ideas together.

Sometimes great ideas are born as twins – in the course of a brainstorming session you might come up with two halves of a perfect solution.

Don’t be afraid to look at the results in an unconventional way.

Some people have started their own businesses by combining their love of baking with their love of dogs to produce their own brand of doggie treats.

It’s not a conventional pairing, but it’s one that works!

5. Ask questions. This works especially well in group brainstorming sessions. Encourage plenty of questions about everyone’s ideas.

Questions can lead to a basic idea being fleshed out into a workable solution, and that, of course, is what a brainstorming session is all about!

Ask questions, discuss, or even debate.

Approaching solutions from different perspectives helps you see a larger and more accurate picture.

Acquiring problem solving skills makes our life so much easier!

Use these techniques to brainstorm new ideas and solutions, and you’ll discover new fountains flowing with ideas you never knew existed!

Problems can become opportunities in disguise.

You just may find yourself going from zero to hero in one short brainstorming session. Try it – you’ll like it!

Have you experienced running out of ideas for something that you need to do?

How can brainstorming allow you to get better options for the decisions you have daily?

Becoming a More Assertive Person

Many people confuse assertiveness with aggression.

There isn’t anything wrong or aggressive about open and honest communication when done appropriately.

You’re merely clarifying your needs to another person.

Assertiveness is being able to express your feelings while still respecting the feelings of others.

Benefits of Assertiveness

Assertiveness is an important skill that can greatly reduce the amount of conflict in your life if used appropriately.

Assertive people tend to see that their own needs are met in a timely fashion and therefore are healthier individuals with much less stress in their lives.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, passive people see themselves as victims and may become resentful and angry until one day they explode.

To help you avoid piling up resentments, I’ve compiled some techniques you can use to become a more assertive person.

Tips to Help You Become More Assertive

1. Stick with the facts.

When confronting someone about a problem, instead of exaggerating the situation by saying “You ALWAYS (or NEVER) ______” simply state the facts of the current situation.

For example, if a person is habitually late, instead of telling them they’re always late, mention what time they arrived and what time they had agreed to be there.

The discrepancy will speak for itself.

2. Begin with “I” instead of “You.”

When you start a confrontation with “you,” it seems like an attack and usually puts the other individual on the defensive.

Starting with the word “I” brings the focus to you – how their behavior has affected you and how you are feeling.

Rather than criticize the other person, show the people in your life how their actions affect you.

3. Maintain a confident posture. Letting others see your confidence helps you to assert yourself.

Stand up straight
Look people in the eye
Stay relaxed
Speak clearly
Respect the other individual’s personal space

Think of two people: one who is slouched over and afraid to look at your face and the other who is standing tall and commanding respect.

Which one would you respect?

4. Use a firm pleasant tone of voice.

Being assertive doesn’t mean raising your voice or getting emotional. Keep your responses short and direct.

There’s no need to make excuses or justify your response.

Yelling only instigates more anger and possibly even violence. Speak your mind calmly to keep everyone calm.

Don’t assume that you already know the other individual’s motives.

You may be surprised to find they aren’t the heinous person you thought they were!

Just as you can’t judge a book by its cover, you might not know all the details of what’s happening in the life or mind of the other person.

Listen and then ask questions. Instead of concentrating on how right you are, remember to listen to the other person’s point of view.

Try to understand where the other person is coming from and ask questions to clarify any concerns you might have.

You may need to compromise to find a solution that meets the needs of everyone involved.

The best solution is when both parties are satisfied with the outcome.

Every situation is different, so you’ll need to assess the circumstances to determine how much assertiveness is appropriate.

Acknowledge your successes.

Being assertive may not go well in every situation, but you can always learn from your mistakes and do something differently next time.

Acknowledging your success brings you the confidence to continue asserting yourself.

You may occasionally feel guilt about asserting yourself because it can feel selfish to speak up about your own needs.

Just remember that you, too, deserve to be treated with respect.

Only you can teach people how to treat you. Only you can do the best job of taking care of you.

How can being assertive influence your life?

How can being assertive bring you success?

Conquering Self-Doubt and Becoming More Confident

Everyone has times in their life when they feel inadequate and incompetent, but some of us feel that way more often than others.

Many people are so busy putting themselves down they fail to thrive in life. They stop trying to learn and better themselves.

They become discouraged and depressed.

Do you feel like you may be one of these people?

Maybe your self-doubt stems from some negative experiences early in your life.

For example, if people made fun of you when you were a child, you might doubt your abilities even today.

Traumatic experiences can cause a vicious cycle of self-doubt in your mind.

Parents, teachers, and other children can sometimes unwittingly say things that have a powerful impact for both good and bad.

So, how do you turn things around and stop that nagging voice in your head that says you’ll never be good enough?

Here are some tactics to help you erase that doubt and become more confident:

Let Go of Negative Criticism of Yourself

This applies to both past and present. Don’t let a jerk of a boss ruin your day by simply adding his voice to the tape player in your head.

Realize that he may be taking his anger out on someone else because of his own inadequacies.

People’s negative attitudes speak volumes about them, not about you!

Stifle your tendency to criticize yourself.

By agreeing with those who criticize you, you’re giving them all the power.

Pay no attention to that voice in your head that’s saying you’re going to fail.

If you stop listening, it will get quieter and eventually disappear.

Reclaim your life by believing that you CAN succeed.

Surround yourself with supportive people who believe in you.

Prepare Yourself and Do Your Best

It’s not enough just to think positively; you have to actively pursue success as well.

Visualizing your end goal can help you make the right choices, but no one can do the work except you.

One way to overcome self-doubt is to write down your positive qualities.

Make a list of at least 5 good things about you. Every day when you wake up read the list.

Reading aloud will also help you to believe the items you’ve listed.

The positive thinking will help prepare your mind to succeed, but there are other ways you can help yourself achieve your goals as well:

Set reasonable goals. Decide what you want to do within a set amount of time.

Keep your goals realistic so you can meet them. If you set unrealistic goals that you can’t meet, you’ll quickly become discouraged.

Start out small and get bigger with your dreams.

Get busy. Inactive people easily become depressed.

To avoid this unpleasant situation, immerse yourself in achieving your goals.

Hard work will always pay off in the end.

Revel in your success. Self-doubters tend to think they don’t deserve to succeed.

But you do! You deserve a reward for conquering your self-doubt and becoming more confident.

You deserve to be honored for your hard work and perseverance. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Just remember you can’t reach the top of a mountain in one giant leap; it takes many steps along the way to reach the peak in due time.

The same is true of success and achieving your goals.

Taking baby steps and attaining many small successes will bring you the confidence to reach your dreams.

In the meantime, sit back and enjoy the journey to becoming the self-assured person you know you can be. It’s a wild ride, but it’s well worth it in the end.

How can you be confident with your current skills?

How can confidence have an impact on how you deal with your daily life?

The Importance of Critical Thinking

Critical thinking is an incredibly important skill.

We use this skill (or ought to) in every aspect of our lives every single day.

Although it’s an important part of academic and business success, it’s not often taught at school unless it’s part of a math, science, or business curriculum.

The basic definition of critical thinking is the ability to take information and make informed decisions without being influenced by your own opinions.

Critical thinking is all about being in control of your own thought processes rather than letting it take control of you.

Teaching Children Critical Thinking

As with most things in life, if you begin teaching your children how to think critically, they can master this process, which will benefit them greatly as adults.

Here are a few tips to help your children expand their problem solving capabilities:

Ask your child questions. Reinforce what they’ve learned at school with simple questions about their homework.

Ask their opinions about their social activities or their favorite television show to spark conversation and encourage kids to think of relevant answers.

Respect your child’s opinion. Children are complete individuals with their own belief systems.

Listening to and considering their opinions will give them confidence.

Confident children who voice their opinions will become confident adults who will actively participate in their workplace.

Let your children think for themselves. If you do everything for your child and answer every single question for them, they’ll always rely on you – the parent – for their answers.

Encourage your child to find their own answers to their questions and praise them when they find the answer.

How Can I Develop Critical Thinking Skills?

Because of its importance in our daily lives, critical thinking is a skill that anyone would benefit from developing and using.

You can certainly learn how to think critically and improve your problem solving skills with little extra effort!

Practice these techniques both at home and at work and soon you’ll reprogram your brain to automatically look at all sides of a problem:

Think for yourself. First, don’t be so quick to ask others for the answers to your problems.

Step back from the question and look at the subject from all angles.

Consider all relevant information about the situation to exercise critical thinking effectively.

Try not to make snap judgments. Examine all of the evidence closely and absorb all of the data first.

When you consider all relevant data, your decision will be well reasoned.

Evaluate objectively.

Evaluating the information without letting your own opinions affect your judgment is one of the biggest hurdles people face when trying to develop their critical thinking skills.

Objective reasoning doesn’t happen overnight!

You may need to make a conscious effort to think past your own opinions.

Imagine that you are not yourself, but instead a totally neutral outside observer.

How would this change your view of the situation?

Being able to get yourself into this mindset will go far towards your development of effective critical thinking capabilities.

Even if it takes some time to sharpen your critical thinking skills, the benefits far outweigh the effort.

Critical thinking will teach you an entirely new way to look at the world and can do wonders for your abilities as a problem solver!

As a critical thinker, you’ll be better equipped to face the challenges presented by an ever changing world and you’ll be well served in both your personal and professional life.

Why is critical thinking important in life?

Searching For the Excellence Within

When you think of excellence, who’s the first person that comes to mind?

Is it you?

If not, why not?

Perhaps you need to change how you view yourself!

We all should view ourselves as excellent people.

You should start each day expecting only the best from yourself.

You can do this by putting your best foot forward and being the best you can be in every part of your life.

Practicing being your best each day can soon turn into a rewarding habit!

If you feel that striving for excellence is a lot of work, you’ll be delighted to discover that you can use techniques to seamlessly integrate the process into your everyday life.

Discovering the excellence within you can be easier than you have ever imagined.

Overcoming Self Doubt

Many of us doubt ourselves too much.

To find out if doubt is stalling your search for excellence, think about these questions:

Do you find yourself doubting whether or not you can live up to your own or other people’s expectations?

When you have the opportunity to do great things, does something stop you from following through?

Does your negative internal dialogue keep you from enjoying your successes?

If you are nodding your head and answering “Yes” to these questions, using affirmations can silence the doubt and give you the confidence to embrace excellence.

How Can Affirmations Help?

Affirmations are simple statements that prompt you to move forward and embrace behaviors or attitudes you desire.

For example, affirmations for success allow you to reprogram the way you think about success, and particularly how you relate to success.

Success affirmations let you replace self-doubt with statements like, “I see each success throughout my journey,” or “I am on the path to great success.”

When you learn to use affirmations, finding success can be as simple as saying, “I am already a winner!”

Many people who use affirmations for success consider these statements to be self-fulfilling prophecies.

You are reaffirming the phrase and making it real every time you say it aloud.

Even if you’re too hard on yourself because you’re a perfectionist, or if you simply don’t believe in yourself, you can teach yourself to see excellence in everything you do.

The great thing about this mind reprogramming is that it doesn’t have to cost money.

Many people buy books and pay counselors to change their lives, but success still eludes them.

Then they blame the books and counselors for bad advice.

But do you know the real reason why things stay the same for them?

Their life doesn’t change because they don’t affirm what’s being taught.

Their thought processes don’t change and therefore their views of life and self don’t change.

If you truly want to change your life, affirmations are your key to unlocking your excellence.

The Affirmation Process

How do you use affirmations to change your life? Follow these steps:

Obtain a list of affirmations.

Choose the ones that speak to your heart the most.

Repeat them aloud at least three times a day and more often if possible.

Apply them to your life every day.

You can reaffirm these statements when you are in search of excellence, for a boost of confidence, or to give you the courage to take the right actions for your success.

Remind yourself that you are a source of excellence and you don’t need to find it elsewhere. You have the potential to do great things!

How can you find excellence in the things you are doing?

How can living in Excellence bring joy to your life?

Self-Motivation Strategies – How to Get Motivated, Quickly and Easily

Getting the motivation to do something – whether it’s a trip to the kitchen or to pursue your dream career – seems easy enough, but few can sustain the motivation to follow-through consistently.

There’s always too much to do.

The task is too big. Tomorrow’s a better day to get started.

Right?

There are a million reasons we don’t act, but almost always the consequences of our inaction are guilt and regret.

You’ll be glad to discover that you can stop that vicious cycle of inaction and regret and become the self-motivated person you always wanted to be!

Here are some excellent tips on how to motivate yourself, even when you’ve hit a setback, are in a slump, or haven’t even begun to figure out what you want from life:

Focus on just one goal at a time.

Even if you’re working toward improving several areas of your life, focus on each goal separately.

This helps to keep you from feeling overwhelmed and prevents you from giving up before you get started.

Flush out everything else from your mind, and keep your energies focused on the one goal.

Develop a tunnel vision focus to tune out unimportant tasks and distractions.

Envision results. Remembering why you’re inspired in the first place will refresh your motivation towards attaining your goal.

Think of how your life will be changed and improved once you achieve this goal.

Start small. Determine the tasks necessary to reach your goal. Now divide these tasks into a series of smaller tasks.

Continue this process until you’ve obtained tasks that you know you can accomplish. It’s like bite-size chunks.

When the chunks are small enough, you know you won’t be biting off more than you can chew at one time!

Attaining many small goals on your way to the big goal keeps you happy and motivated with constant successes.

Talk to friends, coworkers, and experts in the area you seek to master.

Get them to share tips, advice and experiences they’ve had that can help you to reach your goal.

Surrounding yourself with people who have the same goals – or have already attained them – will inspire you to act.

Tell people about your goals. By telling people about your goal, you are making a pact that you will follow-through.

Tell your friends, family and coworkers to energize your motivation.

Dedicate daily time. Dedicate a certain amount of time each day specifically to furthering this goal.

Investing time in attaining your goal every day will keep it in your mind as positive action.

Positive action propels success and diminishes doubts and regret.

Research industry or topic books, blogs and forums.

Anything you do to make yourself more knowledgeable about your goal can inspire you to act.

Reward yourself. When you accomplish a step or a positive outcome in your goal plan, reward yourself with a nice dinner or something that will make you feel special.

Learn from your mistakes. First, recognize that you will make mistakes and accept this. Second, take the opportunity to learn what to do (or not to do) the next time.

Analyzing how to fix the error will push you forward with greater confidence.

Replace negativity with positive thoughts and actions.

We all encounter those negative thoughts that tell us to give up, but knowing how to counteract them will keep you on track toward your goal.

Your mindset and attitude determine the positive or negative outcome of any situation.

Keep those positive thoughts and actions coming and success will surely follow.

Negativity is not reality unless you make it so.

Self-motivation begins with the end in mind, and the only person who can get you there is you!

By using this combination of tips and techniques, you can motivate yourself to take action toward your goals.

You’ll be proud of yourself for doing something positive to make your life better.

Plus, you’ll develop a mindset that will serve you well into the future for achieving more and more of what you want out of life!

How easily are you motivated?

What is your source of motivation during difficult days?

Seven No-Worry Ways of Overcoming Shyness

There’s a distinct difference between being quiet and being shy.

When you’re quiet, you know you have the option to speak, but you just choose not to do so.

But when you’re shy, you’re plagued by discomfort, worry, or even anxiety in social situations.

No matter how shy you think you are, there are ways to train yourself to overcome this barrier.

While you won’t turn into a social butterfly overnight, you can become a more confident person.

Another benefit of overcoming your shyness is that, without that timidity, you tend to take advantage of new opportunities that come your way.

These tips and tricks will help you conquer shyness:

1. Accept your personality. It’s truly important for you to accept yourself for the person that you are.

You can never be anyone but you. If you’re a quiet person from time to time, so be it.

There is just as much beauty in the personality of a quiet person as there is in an outgoing person.

2. Put yourself out there. When you’re shy, you’re more likely to avoid social situations altogether.

This only makes the problem worse.

If you make the effort to participate, you’ll become more comfortable in every social gathering.

Take small steps, but take action to step out of your comfort zone.

3. Avoid running away. Even if you’re feeling especially awkward and anxiety ridden, get through the situation as best as you can.

Afterwards, you can evaluate what you went through so you can grow from it.

Ask yourself why you felt the way you did and see if you can correct the problem for next time.

4. Learn to relax. When you’re feeling shy, your mind begins to race.

You might be thinking about all the things that can go wrong and you’ll find it impossible to relax.

Instead of thinking about what might happen, concentrate on the present and on what actually is.

If you begin to panic, use relaxation and breathing techniques to calm yourself down.

5. Practice your social skills. If you’re shy in social situations, try to practice your communication and social skills in non-threatening environments, such as with family or close friends.

This will take away some of the scary “unknowns” that might be causing you to be afraid.

6. Use visualizations. Visualizations can be very powerful.

They can help you relax and get past the anxiety associated with shyness.

Close your eyes and think about yourself in a situation where you’d normally feel shy or panicky.

Instead of feeling overwhelmed with negative emotions, visualize yourself as completely confident and happy.

7. Focus on someone else. Place all of your focus on the person you’re sharing a conversation with.

Really listen to what they’re saying. If your energy is focused away from how you feel, you’ll be less likely to be overtaken with the feelings of shyness.

It may also help you to encourage the other person to do more of the talking.

Use open-ended questions where they can launch into a whole story or explanation instead of just answering yes or no questions.

Shyness is a combination of fears and feelings that are reinforced by habits.

Use these strategies to help you change your habits and your feelings of shyness will dissipate along with the old habits!

How can shyness hinder you from fully enjoying life?

I trust in the power of loving self-care.

I am responsible for my own happiness.

I let go of the idea that I must wait around for someone else to come along and meet my needs.

I know, better than anyone else, what I need and so I am the one best equipped to find ways to meet those needs.

I trust in the power of my own loving self-care.

When I was a child, I was dependent on my parents to provide the love and support that I needed, but I am the provider now.

While I appreciate it when people see my needs and try to meet them, I no longer put my life on hold, waiting for people to come through for me.

I find a way to actively fulfill my physical, spiritual, and emotional needs.

I know that we were created for community and that I was never meant to be alone.

This need for companionship drives me outside of myself to people and places where I know I can make these connections.

Waiting for others to find me is fruitless and immature.

I let go of mind games and approach my needs openly, honestly, and in a mature fashion.

I also give myself permission to retreat and rest when I need to do so.

Waiting for someone else to affirm that I have done enough to deserve a rest is counterproductive.

I give my best efforts to my family and work, and I know when it is time for me to take a break.

I do so without guilt, knowing that I must take care of me.

How have you paid attention to your own needs?

How do you take responsibility of your physical, spiritual and emotional needs?
