Anyone who wants to learn how to harness the power of the mind to get anything in life
Are you getting everything you want out of life?
Most of us can’t honestly answer that we are.
Most of us have dreams that have so far gone unfulfilled, or goals that we haven’t quite yet managed to accomplish
Many of us might feel that we’re somewhat in a rut, or we might have days were our moods just aren’t good.
Maybe your physique isn’t what it should be
Maybe you’re tired all the time.
What Does This Come Down To?
The mistaken reaction is to blame outside factors.
And most of us are guilty of blaming our circumstances, our genetics, or perhaps the training program we chose.
Maybe we blame the personal trainer!
But this isn’t how change happens.
Change happens by taking responsibility for your life and for realizing that everything starts with you.
The most successful and happy people in the world are the ones with an internal focus of control. That means that they understand they have the power to change their fortunes and they actually go about doing so – rather than pointing to other things.
Your Mindset is Where Everything Starts
Your mindset is where everything starts
It’s how you set goals. It’s what gives you the strength to go after them.
It’s what makes you confident and daring. It’s what makes you creative and focused.
Your mindset is what helps you to appreciate what you already have.
To see the positive instead of the negative.
Your mind is an incredibly powerful machine and once you can tap into that power, then the sky is the limit.
But where do you begin?
That’s why I created a course on this exact subject.

The document discusses dealing with the worry that you may not be doing the right task. It describes how as adults we have more freedom to choose tasks but without certainty that our choices are correct. This leads to a nagging worry that we should be doing something else. The author provides steps to address this worry, including shining awareness on the worry, accepting it as a constant companion, choosing a task and sticking with it for 5 minutes without distraction, to overcome the forces of worry and feel accomplished.
Everyone has problems sleeping sooner or later. I'll bet everyone who's reading this article right now can remember at least one time when they've experienced insomnia, problems falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up and unable to go back to sleep!
Regardless of what category you fall into there are secrets to sleep that can make you go to bed, fall asleep almost immediately, sleep deeply and wake up as refreshed as a baby! On many occasions you don't even have to sleep for 8 hours.
The Importance Of Getting A Good Night's SleepNathan Young
Did you wake up refreshed and ready for the day? Or did you wake up tired and falling asleep during the day? The fact is sleep is very important in our lives! This presentation talks about why sleep is important and why you need to focus on sleeping!
Here are three techniques to help babies transition from awake to asleep:
1. "Fathering down" involves the father cradling the baby with its head on his neck while talking gently until the baby falls asleep, as babies respond well to deeper male voices.
2. "Wearing down" is putting the baby in a sling or carrier for half an hour of household activities before bed, as close contact and gentle rocking aids the transition.
3. "Driving down" is a last resort where driving the car helps the baby fall asleep, though it is inconvenient; these techniques ease the major transition for newborns unfamiliar with sleeping alone.

1) The document provides 5 tips for helping children sleep through the night, written by a certified sleep consultant.
2) The first tip is to understand how much sleep children need at different ages and establish a consistent bedtime routine.
3) The second tip is to create a consistent daily routine with set times for activities, meals and naps to make children feel secure.
4) The third tip is that children can develop a sleep debt from chronic poor sleep, and it takes time and consistency to pay off that debt through good sleep habits.
Elizabeth tracked how she spent her time over the course of a week to determine where her time was going. She found that she was spending on average 4.5 hours per day on "family support" activities, which was too much of her time. By analyzing her time tracking data, she was able to identify this as her "worst offender" and develop new rules to help correct it, such as not doing family support activities while her kids were at school. Time tracking provided insight into how she was using her time and allowed her to make changes to better meet her goals.
Every now and then I manage to get away
from my laptop and get out of my room. When
this happens, I go to a coffee shop or
restaurant so that I can just hang with
people.Then I remember why I’ve chosen a
semi-hermitic lifestyle because, in the main,
all I hear is moaning, complaining and
whining. On my best days I battle to keep my
equilibrium without still having to contend
with negativity.Yes, I get that a good whine
every now and then to unburden oneself
probably feels good as one vomits all the
negativity out of oneself. I’ve been prone to
a pity part or two in my time. But, I’m not sure
it is very helpful, though. It’s also futile
because we seldom have power to change
the things we whine about: blackouts, a
broken leadership, petrol price increases, the
USA’s stance on gay marriages, the economy,
al-Bashir, the Guptas, Mugabe, Pistorius and
the neighbour’s dog. So, I understand that
getting things off one’s chest is cathartic and
probably necessary from time-to-time. But
what I don’t get is when people who have so
lining.You know the ones: They complain
about the bed that was too hard in their 5-
star hotel in Paris, the wine that wasn’t chilled
enough in their business class flight to the
Bahamas, the Internet connection is patchy
in Perth, their flight was delayed in London,
Sydney, Cancun or wherever, their lobster was
laborious in Mauritius.I’m not sure what
universe they come from? I think most of us
would love the opportunity to be able to fly
business class or first class, to go to exotic
places, to meet amazing people and to eat
‘master chef’ quality food. I for one wouldn’t
care if my Internet connection is patchy, the
service is not entirely up to scratch and the
food is not always up to par. I would be
focusing on the gift that I have. So when we
whine, let’s reflect on those folks that have
less than us (no matter our circumstances)
and then maybe, just maybe we will realise
we already have more than is due to us and
that an attitude of gratitude is probably a
better choice than the one that some of us
take.
This document discusses the benefits of waking up early and provides tips for learning to become an early riser. It states that waking up early gives you more productive and peaceful time and helps you feel wide awake and clear-minded. Some tips for becoming an early riser include moving your alarm clock across the room so you have to get up to turn it off, avoiding the snooze button, creating a consistent morning routine, having a purpose for the early morning hours like reading or exercise, and starting the new routine immediately instead of putting it off.
1) Lack of immediate help after delivery can leave new mothers exhausted as they try to care for infants alone. It is important to communicate needs with family, hire outside help, and not take on too much by oneself in the initial recovery period.
2) New mothers often worry excessively about every aspect of caring for their newborn. It is a learning process and seeking help for small issues can prevent unnecessary stress.
3) Successful breastfeeding requires preparation, like learning proper latching techniques, and addressing issues like diet, pumping, and stress that impact milk supply. Consulting experts can resolve delays.
4) Common baby problems like colic cause sleepless nights but can often be soothed through gentle

Most of us run from one distraction to another anytime we are trying to be more productive. Here are 10 ways to help ensure that you’ll be more productive.
How Stress Can Affect Your Ability to SleepGetting Sleepy
Stress can negatively impact sleep by making it difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep, as well as affecting sleep quality. Short sleep durations of only 4-5 hours have been shown to negatively impact physiological and cognitive functioning. Identifying and addressing stressors can often improve insomnia. Keeping a sleep diary can help identify factors contributing to sleep difficulties as well as things that help sleep. Developing positive sleep thoughts and scheduled worry sessions can help address maladaptive thoughts that worsen sleep problems. The document provides relaxation strategies and lifestyle recommendations for improving sleep environment and routines.

We can deepen our own and our students’ understanding of mistakes, which are not all created equal, and are not always desirable. After all, our ability to manage and learn from mistakes is not fixed. We can improve it.
Here are two quotes about mistakes that I like and use, but that can also lead to confusion if we don’t further clarify what we mean:
“A life spent making mistakes is not only most honorable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing” – George Bernard Shaw
“It is well to cultivate a friendly feeling towards error, to treat it as a companion inseparable from our lives, as something having a purpose which it truly has.” – Maria Montessori
These constructive quotes communicate that mistakes are desirable, which is a positive message and part of what we want students to learn. An appreciation of mistakes helps us overcome our fear of making them, enabling us to take risks. But we also want students to understand what kinds of mistakes are most useful and how to most learn from them.
The document discusses concepts like habits, conditioning, and how our subconscious mind works. It notes that excellence is a habit, not an act, and that if we always do what we've always done we'll always get what we've always got. Our subconscious accepts whatever we put into our mind, so we must be careful about what we expose ourselves to. Forming positive habits involves awareness of needed changes and techniques to modify behavior, like using auto-suggestions of positive statements to program our subconscious mind.

1. Lessons for a father - The Algorithm
We were blessed with a beautiful son a few months ago.
Like many parents, our intention was to be able to create a
process and enable our new-born to follow it. Diaper
change at 8:15 pm, milk at 8:25 pm and so on and so
forth. Like almost all parents, we realized, soon enough,
that our best laid plans are usually answered with smiles,
tears or sleep. The sense of randomness finds it hard to
get accepted in a household being run by two über-geeks.
Then it hit us. We were being taught a very important
lesson.
No matter how hard we tried to maintain balance and
control change, there will always be a case of "the
unknown". Being a good parent (or being anything really)
is more about dealing with what you do not know or expect
rather that what you are good at. Our toddler may or may
not wake up in the middle of the night; he may or may not
find it easy to adjust at daycare; we would have to make
and implement decisions based on the outcome of such
situations.
As an extension, we also realized that the same holds true
for just about anything in our professional lives as well.
That particular server (or database or switch) that we are
so dependent on may or may not work as expected
tomorrow. The network that allows us the freedom to be
virtually anywhere in the world (and allow me to write this)
may be down. Our behavior is determined, more often
2. than not, by situations that, as scary as it sounds, are a bit
out of our control.
What do we do then?
How do, solution and structure obsessed people like us,
deal with a variable in an equation that almost always
craves to be balanced?
We did what we do best. We created an algorithm. Here is
our way of doing it:
1. Be ready for a random and unexpected event.
2. Stop wishing for complete control. You will never get
it.
3. Involve ONLY those people that can offer tangible
help.
4. Keep the communication going, maybe even go over
the top with keeping people in the loop.
5. Create a backup structure (in our case, if I am too
tired to be potentially awake during the entire night,
we make sure my wife goes to bed earlier than usual
to be available during the wee hours of the morning
so I can sleep for a few hours before going to work
with her).
6. Whatever you do, do NOT panic! That never helps
and will probably make the situation worse.
7. This is the hardest of it all: A part of the solution will
be based on 2 words: Hope and Conviction.
