A ONE WORD TONIC FOR CREATING A POSITIVE CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE

by Doug C. Grant

"How's it going?"

That's a simple greeting. Except it seems as though after climbingrepparttar 123806 50-year f ence we tend to get a little less enthusiastic about our response.

A typical answer is often, "Oh puttin' up withrepparttar 123807 usual aches and pains. But at my age you can't expect anything else."

Bad answer...bad thinking...bad consequences!

Here'srepparttar 123808 right answer to 'How's it going?'

'GREAT!'

Okay, so maybe you aren't feeling so great. Doesn't matter.

Or maybe you think a 'woe-is-me' routine will earn you a sympathetic response. Not likely. People are not routinely devoted to feeling sorry for other people's problems. Sorry about that. But it happens to be true.

So what's so great aboutrepparttar 123809 word 'GREAT'?

It can do more for you than a pill or a potion. Here's why.

You have inside your head two minds...one consciousrepparttar 123810 other subconscious. The subconscious controls about 90% of your mental activity, which also happens to include your state of health.

For example, considerrepparttar 123811 sugar pill. It has absolutely no formulated ability to heal. Yet when someone is given a sugar pill and told it's a new wonder drug that will cure their 'whatever'...guess what? Often their 'whatever' symptoms disappear. They feel great. Life is wonderful again.

Then they receiverepparttar 123812 truth. The pill is nothing but sugar. Within hoursrepparttar 123813 'whatever' symptoms come screaming back. This happens so frequently it has even been given a name. It's called 'The Placebo Effect'. And that's your subconscious at work.

A change of Season - a great time to re-evaluate your goals, set new ones, make some adjustments, and begin achieving what you set out to do. ******** A very simple concept - write down a few items on a piece of paper and psyche yourself and your mind to takingrepparttar straight and narrow path to reach your goals and ambitions. What happens if you try, try, and try again, but nothing seems to work and everything seems like it goes from bad to worse and beyond. Are you doing something wrong or has Lady Luck decided to abandon you torepparttar 123805 four winds and nary a thought torepparttar 123806 outcome?

Not by a long shot! You are just experiencing what untold millions experience each and every day. You do not have to achieve on a daily basis nor do you have to have a myriad of accomplishments to let others know your worth or your capabilities. You are unique and you are special - if right now that seems like a lot of "padding" then suppose this concept.

Without setbacks and without bad luck, would you stop trying - would you lower your standards, and could it be that you would not aim so high but become content withrepparttar 123807 status quo - everything going justrepparttar 123808 way you say and without any complications, or diversions. Pretty dully and boring if you ask me.

Challenges give birth to opportuniteis and opportunities in turn give free reign to creativity, ability andrepparttar 123809 very act of reaching out, beyond, and further yet.

Apathy can become a part of life when things are going great as well as when hope is lost and everything is left to abandonment.

Goals are just simple check-lists to keep you on track, daily to-do lists and calendars give you a form of stability and contorl, butrepparttar 123810 real "you" must turn all this around, analyze, reassemble, if need be, and proceed torepparttar 123811 goal line. Life will never be fair to everyone at every moment, every single day, and no end in sight. Life will be life, butrepparttar 123812 real winners are those that takerepparttar 123813 mishaps,repparttar 123814 misfortunes, andrepparttar 123815 disasters and turn them into diamonds, rubies, and great works of art. Goals are a road-map with some ofrepparttar 123816 stops marked, but in no way are they a guarantee that there will not be interruptions, changes in plans, or a better vision somewhere alongrepparttar 123817 way.
