Dreaming of Department Stores

Written by Dr. Barbara Becker Holstein


I would like to share a childhood dream of my own that came true, and how it sparked many wonderful enchanted memories!

Recently we took a short vacation break that included three nights in London. But where to stay? My husband mentioned hotel names to me thatrepparttar supplier had offered. I couldn't help but be intrigued withrepparttar 123745 name "Selfridge's". After all, wasn't thatrepparttar 123746 name ofrepparttar 123747 biggest department store in London? I remembered it being equal to Macy's in New York City. I said, "Let's go with that one." And we did.

I was hopingrepparttar 123748 hotel was close torepparttar 123749 department store but I never dreamed it would be so close! It was literally outsiderepparttar 123750 back door ofrepparttar 123751 store -- about 50 feet from allrepparttar 123752 giant food halls that are a part ofrepparttar 123753 store. I was shocked! This was a dream come true. I could wake up and go for breakfast by roaming food halls that brought in delicacies from aroundrepparttar 123754 world, and I could stop there after touring and have a snack or lunch, again from anywhere inrepparttar 123755 world!

Suddenly old memories of my love of department stores floated to mind. I remembered going with my mother to Malley's in New Haven when I was a young child. I remembered my anticipation as we got offrepparttar 123756 trolley and neared this glorious store. It was full of giant wrought iron elevators and pneumatic tubes that ran overhead. I lovedrepparttar 123757 sounds of those tubes rushing money and receipts back and forth. I also loved standing inrepparttar 123758 elevator asrepparttar 123759 attendant named allrepparttar 123760 wonderful possible purchases available on each floor! Of course, I was particularly interested in children's clothes and toys! Yes, let me off at those floors! I couldn't wait.

7 Secrets To High Performance Thinking

So far we've discussed relaxation and visualization. In this report we're going to talk about autosuggestion aka. self-talk.

Autosuggestion isrepparttar simplest ofrepparttar 123744 7 secrets. It's also my favorite.

It's simply talking to yourself. You pick a habit or quality you wish to acquire and repeat it to yourself over and over.

It's my favorite technique, because it literally changed my life.

Don't shrug it off.

It may appear simple, but it's oh so powerful.

I was in my late 40's, my business had gone bust and my health was shot.

I saw no way out.

I just knewrepparttar 123745 odds were against my ever getting out ofrepparttar 123746 situation I found myself in.

Broke,repparttar 123747 clock ticking and unable to work.

Well asrepparttar 123748 song says, if you ain't got nothin, you ain't got nothin to lose.

Since I had nothing to lose, I started using autosuggestion.
