Self Help: Psychological Encouragement

Psychological Encouragement

Written by Michele Gauvin Alley

In 1991, I started my first year of college. It was a scary time for me as it is with most students leaving home for repparttar

first time. I was set up with general courses, as well as an education course, since that was what I was majoring in at repparttar 129932

time. I also took a psychology class.

The psychology professor was big man that tended to go so fast that things he taught went in one ear and out repparttar 129933 other. Because I had a learning disability this was not good. I spent more time reading and getting notes from other students, but repparttar 129934 worse part of repparttar 129935 course was repparttar 129936 testing. The professor tended to cover 3 or 4 chapters and then have a test. I was doing ok with repparttar 129937 regular assignments but not repparttar 129938 tests.

So, I came up with repparttar 129939 idea that maybe he would be willing to give me repparttar 129940 exam orally instead of written. After class one night, I went up to him and asked him if he minded. He said he didn’t mind and we set up a time and day. I spent repparttar 129941 next day studying as hard as I thought I possibly could so that when that evening came I felt ready for repparttar 129942 test.

That evening I went over to his office and took repparttar 129943 test orally. I did lousy, and he suggested that I drop repparttar 129944 course at that point because my grade was so bad. I asked him to let me take it written repparttar 129945 next day when all repparttar 129946 other students took it. He said that was ok. So, I spent that evening and all day repparttar 129947 next day studying for that test. I was determined to prove him wrong and to prove that I could do it.

When You Attract Negative People, Be Thankful

Written by Catherine Franz

Laws of Attraction are clearly defined. What comes back is a reflection of repparttar

energy you are radiating. If negative people are being attracted to you, then be self-assured that you are sending out energy that appeared on their radar screen.

Instead of focusing on not trying to attract them. Be thankful you are.

Okay, you say, that might be pushing it a little. Not really. You see, whatever you are attracting is giving you a clear projection of repparttar 129930 energy that you are giving off. Or it could be something that you need to heal first in order to clear your energy. Most times, we could not see how we are radiating without this attraction.

The answer is awareness. The key is seeing it quickly so that their negative energy doesn't change or shift your energy and pull you down along with it. However, it’s best not to leave until you have a sense of what is showing up. Yet, sometimes, that isn't possible until hindsight mode.

An excellent example of this occurred to me just this week. A quick background in case you don't know me -- I'm very careful of my energy and have practiced repparttar 129931 laws. I am also a master practitioner and move with repparttar 129932 laws 24/7 which took years to master. Something I'm very proud of and very aware of.

Well, anyway, moving forward to repparttar 129933 illustration.

Eating dinner at my favorite restaurant, sitting there writing after a good meal, just finished a marketing story for one of my syndicated columns. Before leaving I thought I would duck into repparttar 129934 ladies room. I was sitting on repparttar 129935 john -- oops, maybe too much information (TMI) -- when I heard this lady talking to me from repparttar 129936 other stall. Actually feeling awkward and caught unaware, it took a few minutes before I could really make out what she was saying. By then, I was walking towards repparttar 129937 sink to wash my hands. It wasn't until then did I get repparttar 129938 gist of her story, language and negativity. It was a victim story about how repparttar 129939 world is out to get her. Let me spare you repparttar 129940 details. I know you've heard this before and can easily relate to repparttar 129941 energy heaviness created in repparttar 129942 room.

I smiled and commented about I enjoy coming to repparttar 129943 restaurant. She was too much into her story to hear anything but herself. Yet, she wasn't even hearing herself, I believe. She followed me back to my table and stood over me as I sat down. A few more minutes of this and trying to ignore her and because I was ready to leave anyway, I got up to leave. She walked back to her table and sat. This time I walked to her table and towered over her.

I continued to listen, not getting a word in edge wise for another five minutes or so. I smiled and nodded sideways repeatedly in disagreement. She never paid attention. Finally, I held up my hand in a stop-sign format. This caused a pause. With a deep sigh of thank goodness, I remarked, "I've listened to your story and would like to share with you -- you are attracting exactly what you don't want because that is exactly what you want. Everything that has occurred has been what you have asked for. If you want to change what you are attracting, start by seeing and making new choices. This and only this will change what occurs in your life."
