Ever asked yourself, where does time go?

It seems that this hectic lifestyle in which we live, many in internet business have complaint, "there's just not enough time in day" to get all work required done. This proves especially true with companies running their internet business like a one man band, as many do. This is why time management is an extremely important factor in producing quantitive, yet quality results, day in day out.

Research suggests that more than half of our lives (on average) is a waste of time.

* We spend 5 years standing in line. * 2 years trying to return telephone calls. * 8 months opening direct mail. * 6 years eating food. * 1 year looking for misplaced objects. * 4 years doing general household chores. * 25 years sleeping.

Out of an 80 year life span a total of 43 years are consumed with trivial, boring tasks that seem to occupy majority of our free time. With another 20 years being consumed by work it leaves little time to imagination if you don't have a daily time management system in place.

So I ask you this.

How many of 30,000 odd days of our life do you spend on pursuit of your interests, dreams and self satisfactions?

In a business sense, our only limited resource is time. So how much money we make is a direct reflection of how we use our time.

The clock is ticking, put it to good use.

Memory & Images

The subconscious mind, more commonly referred to in field of psychology as unconscious mind, not only stores words and memories of a literal sense, but this generally untapped realm of mind also has an images folder. Automatically unconscious mind takes a capture shot and attaches it to corresponding literal aspect of moment.

More times than not from an internet marketing perspective, in my research, memory that a potential client forms of a visit to your website is primarily created by images they see, words these images convey are autonomously sucked up by unconscious mind to form a relevant or not so relevant memory.

This giving some stable meaning to age old saying "a picture paints a thousand words".

So if you were thinking before reading this article that look and feel of your website is inconsequential or secondary to literal content conveyed, think again!

So if you want to instil a relevant memory of your website in your visitors mind don't overlook power of creative imagery. If you don't make an impression with your imagery then a not so relevant memory will be formed and filed DEEP in shadow realms of your potential customers unconscious mind, never to be retrieved again.

Title: Emotional Dependency or Emotional Responsibility Author: Margaret Paul, Ph.D. E-mail: mailto:margaret@innerbonding.com Copyright: © 2004 by Margaret Paul URL: http://www.innerbonding.com Word Count: 794 Category: Emotional Healing, Personal Growth

Emotional Dependency or Emotional Responsibility By Margaret Paul, Ph.D.

Emotional dependency means getting one’s good feelings from outside oneself. It means needing to get filled from outside rather than from within. Who or what do you believe is responsible for your emotional wellbeing?

There are numerous forms of emotional dependency:

* Dependence on substances, such as food, drugs, or alcohol, to fill emptiness and take away pain.

* Dependency on processes such as spending, gambling, or TV, also to fill emptiness and take away pain.

* Dependence on money to define one’s worth and adequacy.

* Dependence on getting someone’s love, approval, or attention to feel worthy, adequate, lovable, and safe.

* Dependence on sex to fill emptiness and feel adequate.

When you do not take responsibility for defining your own adequacy and worth or for creating your own inner sense of safety, you will seek to feel adequate, worthy and safe externally. Whatever you do not give to yourself, you may seek from others or from substances or processes. Emotional dependency is opposite of taking personal responsibility for one’s emotional wellbeing. Yet many people have no idea that this is their responsibility, nor do they have any idea how to take this responsibility.

What does it mean to take emotional responsibility rather than be emotionally dependent?

Primarily, it means recognizing that our feelings come from our own thoughts, beliefs and behavior, rather than from others or from circumstances. Once you understand and accept that you create your own feelings, rather than your feelings coming from outside yourself, then you can begin to take emotional responsibility.

For example, let’s say someone you care about gets angry at you.
