Studies indicate that the average person spends at least 30% of their time in front of a computer. We all know what an excellent instrument the Internet can be. Where else can you reach millions of people from different walks of life within seconds simultaneously?

Imagine if every time you were on your computer, whether it is working, writing emails or surfing the net, you could enhance your personal development. Well, that’s exactly what Dino and the folks at MindZoom had in mind when they launched their site.

MindZoom Affirmations Breakthrough

Our mind can either be our best friend or our worst enemy, depending on what you feed it. You wouldn’t believe how much trash we feed our mind every day!

Why don’t we give our mind positive bursts of input? We can easily. Affirmations are defined as the assertion that something exists or is true. That being said, positive affirmations are basically when we assert that something positive about ourselves or anything else is true. This activity in turn, yields positive results, as our inner world reflects our outer world.

Many of us have a hard time feeding ourselves positive affirmations. And for those who can, we sometimes can run into a “blockage” from our conscious mind. Our conscious mind sometimes tends to question our beliefs to the point that we can become discouraged.

The sub-conscious mind accepts commands without questioning them. So it is imperative that you feed it positive affirmations. Well, imagine if you could feed your sub-conscious positive affirmations while performing your daily activities on your computer. Through the affirmation-delivering engine and the silent subliminal messaging center, that is exactly what the MindZoom software can and will do for you:

Holosync Review: The Good Points and the Bad Points

If you’re someone who is interested in learning the skill of meditation and receiving the benefits of better health, more emotional stability, and better concentration and focus, then this product is something you need to look into. This Holosync Review is a quick summary of the product which was created by Bill Harris to help people learn the skill of meditation using scientifically proven audio technology.

You’re probably already aware of the self hypnosis scripts and self hypnosis DVD products which offer a “lazy person’s” way of learning hypnosis or meditation. There are very few products which have a track record like this one and are as widely used as this one. So let’s begin this Holosync Review with a little bit about what other people have experienced from using the product.

Can Nearly One Million People be Wrong?

I suppose it is possible to fool nearly 1,000,000 people for at least a while. But Bill Harris’s Holosync technology has been around for two decades and is used in exactly 193 countries. That’s a pretty impressive track record considering the high volume of self hypnosis DVD products which have come and gone during that time. The people who have used this product claim that they have been able to make strides in meditation which they have been trying in vain to make for years. So instead of having to spend hours a day for several years to develop the skill of meditation, this product is helping people to do it within just months.

Holosync Review: Why it Works

Okay, so how is it possible to develop the skill of deep and focused meditation within such a short time? The answer is that the Holosync technology uses audio stimulation which effortlessly places you within the electrical brain wave patterns which occur during deep meditation. Think of it like a specifically focused exercise machine which targets the exact muscles in your body which you want to grow… that’s what this product does with your brain. Only this time, it’s targeting specific brain waves which are consistent with the state accomplished by deep meditation.

Now, this really shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone since the brain is a body part which can definitely be conditioned through exposure to proper information and training. Just think about what happens to you when you go to school…same principle, only this is specifically designed to “exercise” your brain’s ability to generate the brain waves which are consistent with deep meditation.

Some Buyer Beware

As an addition to my Holosync Review I’d like to add that anything which carries the “done for you” selling point isn’t going to help you develop the discipline and willpower required to become great at meditation and to make time for it in your schedule. So just be sure you keep in mind that you’re willing to do some work, because frankly (in spite of the fact that they call this the lazy person’s way to meditate), lazy people seldom “find the time” for things like meditation and often get distracted by other things which aren’t as important. Anyway, I’m sure you’ll find a happy medium.

The Holosync offer comes with a free 4-lesson online course Master Your Emotions, Your Actions, and Your Life, which is valued at $199, and the offer comes with additional coaching on how to use the product… which is something you’ll definitely want to take advantage of. My opinion, if you’re serious about developing the skill of meditation, is that this is a great way to get started so that you can get the benefits without all of the extra time and effort required. Wish you the best in using the product and thanks for reading my Holosync Review!

Some people who are seeking advice on Self Help and Personal Growth may be suffering from Depression. It is a common thing in many people in 2013, and there are ways to overcome depression, or work around it, or improve your life and keep going.

Here are some steps I found at Squidoo, which I pass on as a great guideline for handling depression.

Tips for Managing Depression

1. Make a playlist of happy songs

This is something my tutor told me to do, and within a week or so I found that I was feeling much happier in myself each morning. She told me to make a playlist of 10 songs that make me happy. Try it. Each morning when you wake up, switch on the playlist and make it a part of your daily routine. Leave it playing while you shower, brush your teeth, eat your breakfast, get dressed, or whatever else you do in the morning. Within a few days it will be like second nature. Music is a very powerful tool and a great way to evoke emotion. By listening to those 10 songs that make you feel happy each morning, you’ll be lifting your mood from the moment you wake up.

2. Keep a journal

One of the things I found while trying to cope with my depression was that I didn’t have an outlet. A journal is a great way of getting your feelings out without fear of being judged. Nobody has to see it. It can be a diary, or a private online journal, just as long as you have a place to put down how you are feeling. Note the good feelings and the bad. It’s a good idea to write in it as you wake up, and before you go to bed. Make note of any changes in your mood and anything that made you feel happy or sad. Expressing your feelings instead of keeping them bottled up helps a lot more than people realize. Even if nobody really is listening and it’s for your eyes only, it’s great to get it out of your system.

3. Make a “To-Do” list

Stress can be a major factor in depression, and a “To-Do” list can help to relieve some of that stress. If you write down each day what you have to do and prioritize your work-load, it can take a lot of weight off of your shoulders. Eliminating stress from your life is a positive step in managing depression. Writing on a memo board and placing it somewhere where you can see it is a good way to keep a “To-Do” list. Make sure you write at least one fun activity on there each day, even if it’s just listening to music for an hour, reading a book or surfing the Internet… Whatever you do for fun or to relax and unwind. Set some time aside from the stressful activities to reward yourself a little. Cross off each activity as it’s completed to help keep on top of things.

4. Make note of some inspirational quotes

This is something I took upon myself to do just last week. I figured that if I had some positive, motivational and inspiring messages to read over, that it would make me feel more positive… and it did. The quotes can be about anything, and by anyone. Find things that someone you look up to has said that you can apply to your life, write it down and stick it up somewhere where you can see it. Mine are in the inside of my notebook. Some of the quotes I wrote down were: “Surround yourself with good-hearted people. Remember, your life is too short and valuable to waste on negative people that spend their lives trying to drag others down to make themselves feel relevant,” and “Make a conscious effort to constantly remind yourself that YOU control your subconscious mind. Only then will YOU control your destiny.” Both quotes are from a musician that I admire named Dj Ashba, and whenever I’m feeling down, I read over them and remember what I’m living for. To live my life the way I want to, and accomplish all of my dreams. Those quotes, along with the four others I wrote down, inspire me to never give up.

5. Eat healthily and be well rested

Maintaining a well balanced diet is essential to keeping a healthy body and mind. Your diet, whether you know it or not, can affect your mood. A poor diet is often cause for a low-mood and can lead to depression. Make sure you’re eating healthily, and you’re one step closer to helping yourself overcome depression, and prevent it from bringing you down again.

The same can be said for sleeping. I think lack of sleep had a major impact on me and was one of the leading causes of my depression. I often go a day or two without sleeping, and it doesn’t take a doctor to know that not sleeping isn’t healthy for the mind or the body. It is recommended to get at least 8 hours of sleep each night, but many people are only getting 5 or 6. Keeping your body and brain well rested is another way to help your mood and keep the depression away.

6. Think positively

When you’re suffering from depression it can be difficult to see the positive in life, and much attention is paid to the negatives. By trying to channel your negative thoughts into positive, and surrounding yourself with positive influences on your life, you will find that managing depression becomes easier, and in time you will beat it. Instead of focusing on the negative aspects of your life, or things that went wrong, focus on the GOOD things or try to figure out how the things that went wrong can go right next time.

Three Steps to Building Self-Esteem

How many times have you missed out on an opportunity because of your lack of self esteem? Have you ever turned into a sweating, stumbling mess at a job interview, and completely forgot the answer to a simple question and failed completely – even though you know you are right for the job?

Have you ever stuttered your way through a conversation with someone you are attracted to, and known straight away that you have blow your chances with them?

Building self-esteem is probably one of the most important things you can do towards your own personal growth. This is because having high self confidence makes everything else in your life so much more pleasant!

To make sure you never miss out on a potentially life-changing opportunity again, here are three easy steps to building self-esteem.

First, Seek Your Own Counsel

Building self-esteem begins with seeking your own Council when it comes to your self-worth. This is because no matter how hard you work to develop self esteem, there will always be external opinions or circumstances which will seek to tear down your self confidence. Think about it, even the most incredible people in the world are often at the butt of other people’s disapproval. The difference is that someone who has unshakable self-confidence always makes sure that they seek their own council above anyone else’s. They never give exterior circumstances or other people the power to validate them.

TIP: Start paying attention to how often you allow outer circumstances or the opinions of others to chip away at your self-confidence. This alone will give you the power to interrupt this self-limiting pattern and to change it for the better.

Second, Have a Definite Purpose

Having a definite purpose on which to focus your energy is essential to building self-esteem that is indestructible in the face of any circumstance. This is because your definite purpose will help you to develop character trait of decisiveness, which is a clear sign of rock solid self-confidence. Just think about all the people you know who are insecure…I bet you a dollar that they are also indecisive as a result of being unclear about what they want. Now, finding a definite purpose can seem like a big challenge at first. But you’d be amazed at how easy it is once you start seeking your own council and turning off the exterior “noise” which is distracting you.

TIP: Start keeping a daily journal and write down questions about what your definite purpose is. Don’t try to answer them at first, just write them down and then start writing whatever comes to mind. This will help you to clarify your thoughts and develop a better understanding of what your definite purpose is.

Third, Change Your Inner Dialogue

Your self-confidence is a direct result of the way that you talk to yourself. Just think about how quickly you can destroy someone else’s confidence by the way that you talk to them…or how quickly you can build their confidence up. The same is true when it comes to the way you talk to yourself…only it’s more intense because you are listening to yourself 24/7.

This is why changing your inner dialogue through use of positive affirmations is the most powerful way to start building self-esteem. The easiest way to develop your positive affirmations is to ask yourself how you would speak to someone else if you wanted to help them boost their confidence.

Then, you simply write down your answers and read them aloud every day, once in the morning and once in the evening. For really fast results, look in the mirror while you do it…look yourself right in the eye.

Now, go put these simple strategies into practice and before you know it you’ll be building self-esteem which will make it easier for you to use the skills and talents which you possessed for years.
