Is Your Life Challenging You?

Hi,

Last July, Bob Doyle launched his first Boundless Living Challenge, where participants were invited to commit 45 days of their lives to realizing their greatest passions!

Nearly 4000 people participated, and in that 45 days, miraculous things occurred, and people all over the world realized dreams that many had thought impossible - because all previous attempts to realize those dreams had seemingly failed.

The Boundless Living Challenge, which costs nothing to join, provides participants with the tools, resources, education, and incomparable support they need to achieve amazing things, even if they've tried numerous times before without success.

Bob just let me know next Boundless Living Challenge begins April 16th, and he wants to invite you to be a part of it!

To launch this event, Bob had a special radio program on BlogTalk Radio about a week ago.

On the replay of the call you'll hear many of the participants of earlier challenges to get an idea of just what's possible. I know 45 days doesn't sound like a lot - which makes the results you'll hear about even more spectacular.

You'll also learn exactly how the challenge works, what you'll be offered - again, at no charge - and how to make the most of your 45 days.

Here's where you can sign up for the challenge and learn how to listen to the replay of the special radio program.

Bob wants me to stress to you that this challenge is all about putting the Law of Attraction into ACTION, as opposed to simply "learning" about it.

The results are so phenomenal amongst participants because they are all in action, supported by thousands of other people who are also moving toward their own dreams!

It's truly an extraordinary thing, as you'll learn about soon.

I urge you to act now!

~ Wellington Tan

PS. -- Sign up for the next challenge now.

9 Simple Ideas For Coping With Financial Stress
by Leo Quinn, Author of
"How To Own Your Paycheck Again!"

In stressful financial times the media likes to remind us of other stressful times in our history. When I look at those past recessions that happened when I was a functioning member of society (a.k.a. an adult) I am struck by the fact that I don’t ever remember being aware of them. If I was aware of them at the time they didn’t scar me for life.

Here are 9 ideas to help you cope better with your financial stress in the hopes that this recession will be a soon forgotten memory for you:

1) TURN OFF AND TUNE OUT

Author Barry Neil Kaufman says “We stare bug-eyed at the eleven o’clock news, striving to be well informed, as if knowledge of the latest disasters will enhance our sense of well-being.”

Why do you need to watch or listen to the news? Very few people NEED to get their information this way. Short of a tornado headed to your house, you can live your life quite nicely without 24/7 news. Try it for a week and see what happens.

2) IT WILL NOT LAST FOREVER

Og Mandino is his book “The Greatest Salesman in the World” gave four words that “have been passed down from the ancients that will carry me through every adversity and maintain my life in balance. These four words are: This too shall pass.”

He’s right. It WILL pass and 5 or 10 years from today we’ll be reading about this in the paper and we’ll think…”oh yeah, I remember that” and it will make a great story to tell your kids or grandkids.

Who said it?...”the only difference between “tragedy” and comedy is time”

3) ZIP IT!

Quit yapping about the economy to everyone you meet. Pity parties help no one on any subject so keep the complaining to a minimum. And don’t hang around people who insist on wallowing in all the negativity.

Ed Diener, author of "Happiness, Unlocking the Mysteries of Psychological Wealth" , says “It’s not that you shouldn’t think about (the economic crisis) but think about it to the extent that you can control it. Put your money places where you are comfortable, deal with it and move forward.”

4) LAUGH!

Since 1922 Reader’s Digest has been telling us that laughter is the best medicine. Take daily laugh breaks. It’s so easy with the internet. Go to YouTube and search for “game show bloopers” and you’ll be laughing AND feeling smarter in seconds. Family Feud and The Newlywed Game bloopers are my favorites.

You can find Saturday Night Live and Mad TV clips all over the internet. Many cartoons, full length movies and sitcoms can be viewed in their entirety at Hulu.com

5) FACE YOUR FINANCES

They won’t get better by ignoring them. They won’t go away. Your credit score might be hurt if you can’t pay your bills or your get behind but you won’t go to debtor’s prison.

It’s no fun jumping every time the phone rings for fear it’s a creditor. If you need help in the U.S., visit the National Foundation for Credit Counseling. Don’t deal with any organization that promises to help you with your finances that doesn’t get a link from this website.

The specific page on that site where you can find local help.

If you can pay all your debts on time now and you don't have a plan to pay them off much faster, use my plan. Over 18,000 people in the last 4 years have made the investment in "How To Own Your Paycheck Again!"

6) KEEP TRACK

Be ruthless in tracking your spending and income. By ruthless I mean keep track of every penny. We all have a problem with “mental accounting.” We don’t look at 50 cents as real money and thus would likely not even consider tracking expenses that small. Fifty cents a day over a year is $182.50. It really does add up.

Keeping track of all your spending can be an eye-opening experience. You’ll often discover unnecessary waste that is easy to fix.

7) GO FOR A ONE MINUTE WALK

It's been proven that those who regularly exercise have lower stress levels than those who don’t.

In his book, "One Small Step Can Change Your Life - The Kaizen Way", Robert Maurer, Ph.D. states that the part of our brain called the "amygdala"... "sets off alarm bells whenever we want to make a departure from our usual, safe routines. The brain is designed that way so that any new challenge or opportunity or desire triggers some degree of fear"

He suggests we take VERY small steps so as not to "wake up" our amygdala.

My favorite example in the book was a client he wanted to march in place, in front of the TV for one minute a day. That would be her exercise routine. Just one minute.

Eventually she marched for 3 minute commercial breaks and then for whole shows.

"Soon her ridiculously small actions had grown into the firm habit of running one mile each day. Note that this gradual buildup to a steady program is the exact opposite of the usual pattern, in which a person starts off with a burst of activity for a few weeks, but then returns to a comfortable spot on the couch"

8) START ANOTHER INCOME STREAM

People who work 9-5 and do nothing else to earn money have always perplexed me.

They get up every day, shower, drive to work, work, drive home, do whatever they do at home, go to bed and start it over again every day for 40 years.

At home they worry about job security, promotions, raises, benefits and the like but they do little if anything to ensure their own future, content to rely on an employer who may or may not be around in 5 years.

Spend some of your worry time researching ways to make extra money. Any bookstore or library will have many books on the subject.

Get your children involved. Make it a partnership. What an incredible gift to give your children. The gift of independence.

Yes, there may be laws and rules and regulations you need to follow but don’t let those stop you. They are many resources available to help.

Start at the Small Business Administration. and also check out SCORE.

9) PLAY THE LOTTERY!

No, not the state lottery, also known as “a tax on people bad at math”. I’m talking about the comptroller’s office lottery. Every state has an office that handles what are known as ‘Unclaimed Funds” or “Unclaimed Property”. In NY it’s called the Comptroller’s Office. Other states give it various names. Unclaimed funds are forgotten bank deposits, tax refunds, and security deposits from landlords and utility companies to name a few.

Most amounts are very small but it’s still fun to search. You can search the databases online. Most won’t tell you how much is owed but some will give you a range. Search for your name and the names of all your friends and relatives in whatever states they live.

When you find some money that is owed, point your friend or relative to the appropriate website and collect the gratitude (and hopefully a finders fee!) Soon you’ll feel like Santa at Christmas handing out wads of cash.

The site to begin your search is: FindLostMoneyHere.com

So there are nine ideas for you to try. None of them are hard and most you’ll find rather fun. Turn off the TV and the radio…ignore the nattering nabobs of negativity and live a less stressful and more peaceful life.

Vision Board!


I thought I'd revisit an insight I shared with you last year, as it is an insight that struck me again in the last few weeks while working on a new idea and I think it may inspire you too.

You see, I always used to believe that really successful people know exactly what they are doing and how things will work out when they start a business or project. They seem to be "on top of everything". What I have come to realize is that in fact they are not at all!

Over the past couple of years I have had the privilege to work with several very successful people who have completed some amazing projects. What I found, is that they actually very often have no idea whatsoever how to go about things or how things will work out when they first start something. But.... they get started anyway!

As Nike's famous slogan says:

"Just Do It!"

This insight has been a real inspiration for me.

So often we procrastinate or are stopped in pursuing our goals and dreams, just because we are "not ready enough" to get started.

Things seem too uncertain and it feels too much like a step in the dark to take action.

Our current situation - although sometimes uncomfortable or unsatisfactory- seems at least safe and certain.

So we just stick to the status quo... So have a think about the following:

What goals and dreams haven't you pursued
or taken action upon, because you were "not ready yet"?

How about doing it anyway?

Make a plan of action, and just go for it!

You will notice that once that first most challenging step is taken, the rest will follow.

You see, if you don't pursue your dreams, you can be pretty certain that you will never achieve them...

But if you take action, you might fail, but at least you have a fair chance of achieving them :), and if you stick to it, changes are you will!

Have a fantastic week!

The 'High in 10 Seconds' Trick
by Mike Brescia


The other day I threw an old Kiss CD in and was transported to the 70's in a few seconds. And now I can't get the words to 'Hard Luck Woman' out of my mind. They won't go away.

That's cool. Because much worse is when you can't stop thinking about some previous not-so-good event or conversation, or an upcoming event you're dwelling on.

And I'll tell you what. Whenever you are upset, angry, stuck, procrastinating, unmotivated, uncertain, depressed or afraid, it's usually not what's "out there" doing it. There's something bad that you can't get out of your mind. I'll show you how to get it out.

Do this 10 second exercise. Just 10 seconds...

OK, ready? Put a smile on now. And think about a party or an event you went to and some of your best friends were there. You love these people. Any time of year. Food was great. Tons of laughs, right? Maybe you were playing some game... a sport, cards, or a board game. Perhaps you were watching a game live or on the tube. Laughing. High fives. Back (or butt) slapping. Hugs. A few frosty ones, maybe. You wanted it to go on forever. Take another 10 seconds and keep thinking about that fun time and how you were feeling now.

OK.

Feel good? Feel great? Feel high?

Why do you feel so great right now?

Because your mind transported you to a place where you were having fun. You weren't actually there just now. You were there only in your mind.

Yet it made you feel terrific.

Know what? You can go there or a place like it any time you want to and feel great any time you want to.

Still feeling good? If not, smile and go back to that scene again. Laughing. Butt slapping. Hugs. More.

It doesn't have to end.

That is the power of your thoughts.

Did you know that studies have shown that people have been able to eliminate depression and get off their insidious medication just by being forced to smile and see happy pictures for just minutes a day?

Why do people have pictures of their loved ones all around them at work? To feel good, of course.

That is the power of your thoughts.

The power of putting your attention on something empowering and good.

Think Right Now International does this every day for thousands of people around the globe.

With empowering thoughts come powerfully positive chemicals created by your brain that can give you highs no drug could, and those thoughts can get you to do things you never thought you could.

Learn the power of your thoughts, and better yet, strengthen the enormous power of your positive thoughts at Think Right Now!

Make it a powerful weekend,

Mike Brescia

PS: Get only so successful before you start sabotaging yourself? Start climbing the ladder and find that you can only go so high before you feel uncomfortable? That's fear of success. Learn how to get rid of it at Releasing Fear Of Success Now!

Your Health is Your Wealth:

Should you be concerned?

Anyone with a history of high blood pressure in their family knows what devastation it can wreak. It carries with it a mishmash of health risks, many of them serious, like tripling the risk of dying from a heart attack, quadrupling the risk of dying from a stroke, doubling the risk of congestive heart failure and tripling the risk of developing kidney disease.

But if our very lives weren't enough for high blood pressure to be in the top five of our "Health Issues to Be Concerned About" lists, then how about the lives of our marriages and relationships?

High blood pressure has a significant impact on a couple's sexlife. Sex is a crucial part of any relationship, and when a loving couple is not having it at least on a semi-regular basis, more often than not, the relationship sours faster than curdled milk.

The reason high blood pressure affects the average sexlife all boils down to blood flow. Due to the narrowing of the arteries that high blood pressure creates, it diminishes a man's ability to have an.erection -- never mind maintain one -- as there's less blood flowing to the penis.

To rectify this situation, the average guy heads to his doctor, reluctantly tells him or her about his issues "down there," and the doctor prescribes him with some form of hypertension med -- usually an alpha or beta-blocker.

Problem solved, right? Not exactly.

While your blood pressure levels might lower incrementally, your sex drive will lower incrementally as well -- the very opposite of what you want to have happen.

This isn't some theory concocted by so-called natural health "whack jobs," mind you. Well-respected news organizations and medical information outlets -- like ABC News and the Mayo Clinic -- corroborate this. In an ABC News webcast on Feb. 7 of last year, Dr. Domenic Sica, chairman for Clinical Pharmacology and Hypertension at the Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center, said this:

"When you look at it, a number of the blood pressure medications we use are associated with the onset of male dysfunction. Now, that can be a diuretic, a beta-blocker, or so-called peripheral alpha beta-blocker -- those are three drugs commonly linked to male dysfunction."

I'm not sure the link can be made any clearer; you name the hypertension drug, and it will adversely affect your sexlife.

Given this, if you'll pardon the cliche, how does one kill two birds with one stone? How does one lower their blood pressure and improve their lovelife at the same time? Or is that even possible?

Absolutely it's possible, and you can learn how to do it all-naturally.

Bestselling authors Frank Mangano and Jon Benson have developed an easy, all-natural way to lower your blood pressure and improve your sexlife at the same time. They weren't sure this was possible, but after months of research and hordes of emails from people on how their system worked for them, they don't just think it's possible, they know it's possible!

Let me prove it to you.

Go here: Low Pressure Sex!

I recommend you visit their website immediately, where you'll get a crash course on how this issue has affected me personally; more information on the links between what's 'down there' and hypertension; and most important of all, how you can improve the health of your body and your relationship...all-naturally.

The Painless Way to Make Money...

Are you completely satisfied with your income?

If you answered "yes!" I want you to avoid this link below like the plague:

You-Can-Make-More-Money-Now.com

You see...

While most folks out there are still fighting to land their first Clickbank check.. this private club is quietly raking in obscene amounts of cash doing stuff that can't even qualify as "work."

They don't worry about "paying the bills."

Their biggest concern is what kind of spa treatment they should take.

And the best part is:

They don't really "sell" anything.

They don't do customer service.

And they don't even have any specialized skills.

They've just got the insider information and connections that produce cash on demand without stress, and without struggle.

We know this system works. That's old news.

The only question now is: will you let it work for you?

You-Can-Make-More-Money-Now.com

The choice is yours.

You're either going to look back on this moment as the one that tranformed your life. Or it will be "just another email."

Final Note Of Inner Wisdom:

Struggling with Money?

“Managing your money does not depend upon becoming wealthy or declaring vows of poverty. Rather, it is about creating stability and sufficiency – a balanced flow of monetary energy through your life.” ~ Dan Millman

What would it take to achieve financial stability and sufficiency in your life?

Look honestly at your life. How could you achieve financial stability and sufficiency? Would you need more income? Would you need to trim back your lifestyle? Would you achieve this by refusing to purchase on credit? What can you do now that would move you one step closer to having control over the money in your life?

“We can respond creatively to what we experience as life-depriving and become richer in spirit for having met the challenge.” ~ Tad Crawford

Progressively shift your prosperity consciousness from managing money to thinking prosperously to manifesting abundance. Experience abundance by integrating new perspectives!

Thank you.

I love you.
