How 2 Plan Positive Goals A New Business in 2022 Despite Coronavirus

2021 was draining, emotionally demanding; a year that many of us would somewhat rather leave behind. But it seems that many of us have as a consequence become psychologically lethargic, and lacking the will power to make any real plans at all for fear that another lock-down is just looming around the corner.

Admittedly we are in unprecedented and testing times that we are living in right now. One minute we are told that our freedom is within grasp, only then to be faced with grim reality of another lock-down.

So it is no wonder that many people have decided to put any plans on hold. The number of people who have cancelled projects or businesses can be disheartening to observe.

But this does not mean that suddenly we drift into 2022 having no plans for the future. That is the wrong mindset to have.

How to have the right goal plan action

There is a saying which goes: ‘When one door closes, another opens.’ 2022 should be a year of positive reflection, maybe, considering a career change. There is money to be made and the answer is inside your own home!

I will share with you how to recognize this new opening for your life, despite the gloom and doom! So please read on to see how…

Many people working in the entertainment industry, such as restaurants and pubs, has abandoned ship for a fresh start of employment elsewhere. They regarded the entertainment industry to be an area too fragile. But these were choices that they made which they believed were necessary because of covid lock-down.

These people acted positively and adjusted to meet the current climate. They must have thought about it, and decided that the only way forward was to change career or be submerged with the titanic.

Before setting your goals for 2022, you must make sure that they are realistic, even if only for a short period. Many people fail reaching their goals because they set the bar too high for them to even reach it. You must make sure that the goals are practical. Make sure the goals are not too far into the distant.

Whenever you think of the best-case scenario, outline the steps it would take to achieve that. A realistic goal is one grounded in tangible, solid data. Lack of quantification can make your goal — and the path it takes to get there — obscure. Without a clear route, the process is more prone to fall apart.

How to be positive in 2022 despite covid change your mindset

Notice, you must take the steps whatever it is to make sure that you have all the necessary tools to help you reach your goals.

Ask Yourself these Questions?
1. What do you want to improve in your life in 2022
2. What do you want to differently this time than in 2021
3. Do you want to start up your own business?
4. Maybe you want better healthy lifestyle?
5. Maybe a change of car
6. Maybe you want to go back to learning?
7. Maybe your goal is a spiritual one?

Whatever your reasons, nothing comes for nothing without sacrifices having to me made.

If your goal for 2022 is to be healthier, then you must make sacrifices. You begin by changing your mindset, and looking at intakes of sugary foods your body is consuming.

If 2022 is to start up your own business whether from home or rented office, you need a plan of accomplishment as to how to make this goal work for you. Thinking about it is not good enough. Faith without works is dead!

Whatever your goals are; you need to keep some sort of a daily diary. I will tell you why; not only does it keeps you on your toes, but, it also motivate you; it works as a kind of checklist… You can always refer to it when you lose your focus or lose motivation. So in other words; it becomes another extension of you.

In the sales office; the sales leader always has some kind of motivational chart where everyone can monitor their performance. If the sales fall below a certain line, everyone returns back to the drawing board to figure out why. The motivational chart remains there because the sales team always try and beat their last performance target.

We can go into 2022 all fired up, guns blazing, but proper strategy is needed in order for any goals to be successful.

I am going to share with you the sweet science of reaching any of your goals that you so desire! There is really no secret to it. How the rich and famous become so successful is because they followed the principles I am about to share with you!

Whether your goals are to:
1. Have a positive mind
2. Start a successful business from home or online without bank loan
3. Become healthier
4. Understanding how to keep motivated
5. How to create your own luck
6. Reset your Business Strategy

There is nothing stopping you from achieving your goals in 2022! The pandemic might have created challenges, but, it does not stop us from changing our mindsets and meeting it head on…

In, ‘How to plan a successful life,’ you will read everything you need to know about making the best of what you have, and turning your situation into gold! This no-nonsense book is a necessity for anyone wanting to have total management over their future and determined not to make the pandemic rob them of another year.

Animals Also Suffer From PTSD and How to Treat Them Holistically

Animals Suffering PTSD Trauma

Animals Also Suffer From PTSD and How to Treat Them Holistically

What made me decided to do this blog, was my own experience with animals. I am an animal lover, who was raised with cats from as young as I can remember. Despite having animals around me for most of my life; I never really understood that they suffer from the same emotions as human beings.

It is hard to imagine that animals are living souls with the same basic needs that we possess as human beings. The animals that we see both in the wild and in our homes have the same basic need from:

1. Eating to Survive.
2. Building shelter
3. Reproducing life
4. Hunting
5. Playing but we call our sports and so on…

The other spectrum to this is that they also suffer the same way we do. As living souls animals also battle with the same emotions that we do.
Animals suffer from:

1. Depression
2. Loneliness
3. Fear
4. Rejection trauma
5. Feelings of being let down…

Most people with animals treat their physical symptoms when things go wrong with them. However, it is not only the physical that can suddenly go wrong but the physical. And sometimes, mental trauma can be far worse.

Lucky, a black and white cat, was rescued after I saw him living off scraps, and living rough on the streets. I called him, ‘Luck,’ because; he had another chance at life. He found a loving home. However, he spent all day in the peak of summer just sleeping on top of the bed, and only moved just to eat.

One day he used my carpet as a toilet, and I was angry with him so I threw him out as punishment. It took me a very long time to get him back in again! He just would not go anywhere near me. Lucky felt abandoned that I had thrown him out. I realized I could not punish him the same way; I punished the other cats who did not suffer from feelings of being abandoned.

Even the other cats knew that Lucky was suffering from some mental trauma. They would smell him, and knew that something was wrong with him.
The only time that Lucky felt that he was wanted, was when I moved house, and brought him along with me, and the other four cats. It was only then he realized; he was loved, and had a home!

I lost my cat Lily to cancer. She was my first ever cat since leaving my parent’s home. I felt it quite badly. Lily was abandoned because she was seen as the ugliest litter. She turned out beautiful though later on as she got older.

When Lily passed away; I rescued Tora who reminded me of her. I suppose Tora was my healing process. She also was abandoned on the streets as a baby, and suffered trauma where she was shaking in the garden so afraid that I would not let her back in. Now, I can’t keep her in the house! She knows she is safe and have a home for life.

My cats are pampered with love. However, when I rescued Yuki my white kitten and Nico, a grey and black one; they loved each other, and were inseparable. Nico was my angel cat, but that is another blog, I promise to write soon. However, Nico got ran over by a car, and sadly died. Yuki, the white kitten was so devastated she cried for weeks.

She took the loss really badly. She would look around the house for him and that would make her just worse. Her blood pressure was so high that I took her to the vets. She was on all kinds of tablets. But she was depressed, and her eyes lost not only hope for living, but nearly her sight! I was told by the vets Yuki would go blind! I was devastated.

I knew that the symptoms were bereavement. There had to be something that could stop her from going blind. There had to be something that could make her wants to live again, and stop crying.

I knew what it was. She needed love, not taking tablets for the rest of her life. So I rescued Milly, and Molly, two sisters, and both malnourished coming from an abusive home. They were very young kittens.

I was only going to take one; but I could not make up my mind, so being a big softie; I took them home with me!

Guess what! At first the kittens were afraid of Yuki, and she of them. But after a few days of watching them play, Yuki started to find meaning to life again! Her sad dull eyes disappeared, and her energy became mischievous! No blood pressure tablets and no loss of sight! Love healed her! She found something to live for.

Animals feel pain and suffering the same way we humans do. They have deep emotions and they know when we are sad. If I am going through a depression, the cats know. Because I gave them so much love, a home, they return this unconditional love.

It is vital important to connect with our animals, and really understand their history. It is only by doing this that we can restore them not only physically… but spiritually.

Yuki was going through deep depression when Nico died. She was in bereavement. She was going through the same emotions that we humans feel.
This is why I despise animal cruelty, and hope to make a world a better place through working with charities through my music, and gift of healing, to spread love and not hate or harm.

I hope you will be inspired to understand more about animals suffering PTSD and consider alternative therapy for them.

Mindfulness Power Breath Techniques 2 Stop Negative Thoughts within Seconds

meditation to control negative thoughts

 

I want to focus this blog on people who suffer with negative thinking. There are many of us who do. The problem with negative thinking is that, once we get sucked into that mind set of self-criticism; it is difficult to get out from it.

Breathing has the power to inject natural endorphins into our bodies. While the Western world gives out happy pills to subside our anxieties or negative thoughts, our cousins in India, were practicing the art of breathing as a science.

• Research shows that breathing may have the ability to change your body’s genetic instructions.

Imagine that! Suddenly, that the Indians were telling us for so long; only now we have just jumped on board, and beginning to understand the sweet science of breathing for mindfulness.

When our mind is besieged with negative thoughts, it can be difficult to navigate it to positive thinking. In fact, the more we try; the difficult it can become. Trying to fake being positive does not work! This is why a lot of motivational speakers are on the wrong track.

You can’t talk someone into being positive, and stopping negative thoughts without introducing them to the sweet science of self-development which is mindfulness.

This can be achieved just by breathing! No religion, no dogma, or belief systems, just understanding the science of being in the Zen moment or the I am self-realization.

1. So what is this power breath?

2. What is this power breathing all about?

It is being conscious of your inner being. This awakening of self immediately removes the negative thoughts.
It is about tapping into the spiritual reservoir of plenty without even trying. It is about stepping out of the time zone, away from the clutter of life, and just practicing mindfulness. In this reservoir you can drink to your heart contents as each sip will take you deeper into mindfulness without you even trying.

The way we breathe from this reservoir can impact our whole body, helping it to regulate important functions such as heart rate and high blood pressure. It can also reinforce proper body mechanics that put less stress on your body as you move. Deep breathing is also called abdominal or belly breathing.

Right now while you are reading this, you are not aware that you are breathing! The reason being is that we take it for granted. We are more aware of what’s going on inside our heads than tapping into this natural energy.

Herbert Benson was one of the pioneers in mind-body medicine. He identified the body’s relaxation response, which was activated by diaphragmatic breathing and slowed everything down.

Recent research showed that individuals who practiced meditation had changes in 172 genes that regulate everything from inflammation and glucose metabolism to blood pressure and even circadian rhythms.
The power to change your mind set and negative thoughts, all along was within your grasp. The answer was closer than you think.

Mindfulness Exercise
I want you to just to visualise a beautiful still lake, or even a scenic waterfall… You are so taken by its beauty. You notice the gentle soothing wind embracing you as your mind now focus on your breathing…

Breathe in (inhale through your nose) for 4 seconds… hold it for 4 seconds, and breathe (exhale out your mouth) for 8 seconds… Repeat this as often as you like… If you like the sound of running water, imagine that also. As you breathe in, expand your diaphragm (stomach) outwards like a balloon, and then exhale for the same numbers 4 in 2 to hold and 8 exhaling.

Your negative thoughts will have problems competing with this redirection of energy. You can find yourself a quiet spot, and make it your temple space. A kind of holy sanctuary.

You will notice the anxiety or negative thoughts will go within seconds. The reasons for this is because the negative energy is not being fed or encouraged to grow. You have dealt with it swiftly, and made it realise that who are the boss over your mind… body, and spirit.

10 Tips 2 Unlocking the Secret 2 Staying Young with a Childlike Innocence

How to stay young childlike innocence

When a child is born; the world around them seems to be filled with wonders. The different noises, and smells, overwhelms their precious deep-filled starry eyed wonder. So they cry with joy as they begin to see a colourful world that their senses cannot wait to explore.

Sometimes, they might even get hurt in the process of venturing out, but, this experience never put them off. They continue to explore the world around them… both the pain, and the wonders that life has in store for them.

As children the smell of fresh picked flowers, the small feet paddling in bathwater or the puddles, soon the child forget the pain of the rough of tumbles of life.  They just continue to enjoy the journey that life has to offer. But what has happened to us since then?  life changed us. We lose this sense of childlike wonder. Pain and suffering has aged us forcing us to become bitter.

So we forget what it was like not having a care in the world. We have forgotten about that first crush that pin up on our wall. Life has become like a knife, and sharpened our spirit to such degree that we lost our sense of innocence.

If we have been bullied whether in school, workplace, we begin to build walls around us. We block out the sunlight, the flowers stop growing, we also stop living and laughing as little babies does.

Something has happened to us. What is worse we continue into this cycle of what the world regard to be, ‘maturity.’ Well, I don’t want to be mature! I don’t want to be; if being mature means to stop living, and never enjoying life! I

don’t want to be mature, if it means acting all serious, and not having my spirit rejoicing at the birth of spring when the green grass shows off their colourful bloom .

I have seen what maturity do to people. They take life too seriously! They find it hard being themselves as they have joined the, ‘mature club,’ old farts ready for grave. They don’t respond when the first flower of spring begins to bloom. They are dead inside, and they want you to join their spiritual morgue!

As we get older, we fall in love, we get disappointments in our lives, and the experience dulls our senses. We no longer paddle our feet with wonder when we jump into a lake, or, visit the seaside. We don’t build sandcastles anymore, or hold a tender flower that has just arrived through the moist willing soil, to smell it, and celebrate being alive!

We have joined the old farts club. Well, I am a rebel. I am a rebel for life, and living. Yes, I have been hurt in the past. But, it has never killed my childlike wonder. When I was homeless on the streets, I would look up at the millions of diamond formed dazzling stars wondering if there was life out there in space!

We only stop living when we allow pain, and others to prevent us from smelling again that fresh flower, that Spring proudly gives to us. Spring  reminds us that: we are children of the earth. But we stop living, and cease being human;  when we refuse to look at the wonders, and mysteries, and beauty of life.

I can go to a local park, and it feels like I am heaven. A child with a wild imagination can make jumping into a shallow puddle seem like a sea wave! Heaven is a state of mind it is where children have corned the market with their innocence.

It is no wonder Fred Astaire sang these words:
‘Heaven… I’m in heaven,
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak.
And I seem to find the happiness I seek,
When we’re out together dancing cheek to cheek.’

When was the last time that our heart beat so fast with the excitement of life? We lose this innocence when we also care too much what other people think about us. Self consciousness can lose this beautiful child like quality.

We love comedy because it is the only time when we can forget about being old farts and really have a belly laugh. We can let down the emotional barriers of acting right and mature and really be lost in the moment.

10 Tips on how to remain childlike as though life has never hurt you

1. Watch a tender movies eating pop corn, pretending you have not seen it before.
2. Pretend when you go to the park it is your first time. You will be surprise how much your sense will pick out different things and smells.
3. Laugh often
4. Act and celebrate life like a child.
5. Keep healthy and fit mentally and physically.
6. Stop thinking negatively it will age you
7. Look out for figures in the clouds and see how many shapes you can see
8. Always revert to watching movies you saw in your childhood
9. Have a pillow fight with a friend loved ones etc…
10. Read children’s book. I read Brothers Grimm, and Handerson

Having innocence is a beautiful thing as you love as though you were never hurt before. You kiss, like it was your first time. You make love differently and never the same way. Most of all, it shows the world that no matter what you have gone through, you are alive! You have maintained that innocence.

When you come alive, people will be uncomfortable. They are still in land of, ‘the living dead.’ When you have a beaming light around you, a smile than can launch a thousand ships, they won’t like it. When you have maintained your innocence, and childlike wonder; despite all that life has thrown at you, the reward of living is then yours.

Remember that trying to get people to understand your special journey of innocence is like trying to give garlic to a vampire! Enjoy your innocence and your journey. Create the world that you want to see by acting it! Heaven is around you and it starts with your imagination!

Let it run wild. Let your imagination be like a wild horse escaping to freedom! Gallop through the grassland at break neck speed not looking back, and refusing to be put back into the barn!

Why Human Motivation and Spiritual Will Power 2 Survive Is Difficult to Sustain

The will power to live

If you use a computer on battery, or a powerful device radio, eventually the energy runs down. There is nothing more frustrating than having to recharge a dead machine back to its’ full power in order to get it up and running again.

Similarly, human beings, our lives, and our will power is similar. When things are going good, and there are no challenges; we have a feel good factor. Our relationships are going well, the bills are paid on time; we just had a promotion; the hedge is trimmed neat.

Life is beautiful, so we look forward to another day.

So far the battery is charged. So our motivation for life is a score of 10 out of 10. But, anyone can sustain high levels of motivation and will power at this level.  Of course, just as long as there are no challenges ahead. We cannot really test how; we can handle pressure or strain if we suddenly lose it all.

We all heard the popular phrase, ‘to get motivated.’ But this is easier said than done. Most of the time; the people that tells us this: are usually running on a full battery!

However, when you are feeling a level 2 or 3 out of 10, having no motivation for life; it’s a different set of rules all together.

No can tell you what it is like to climb the Mount Everest unless they have done it. Unless you have suffered depression, or low moods; you cannot motivate anyone or even write about it!

The human spirit is similar to this dead battery. When the energy runs low; it is hard to pump it back up again.  Sometimes listening to the right message can give us that spiritual boost.

Another coping method to consider, is to know this low feeling will pass.

As long long as we remember, that low feelings do not last forever; we can prepare for a plan of action to prepare for another day.

If you have a plant that is dying, you don’t just give up on it.  What do you do to rescue it? Of course; you give the plant water.  Suddenly it stirs back to life again.  it wakes up again. Everything is living energy to even the plants. Without this water… the plant withers, and eventually dies.

You are more precious than a plant. When you are feeling low, you don’t need a miracle pill to boost your motivation or will power to live!  Just recognizing how you are feeling at this moment in time.

Do not feel guilty that sometimes you will find life challenging.  It is not your fault. As I stated… anyone can be a 10 when not faced with life challenges!

But you are special.  Because once you get out of this feeling; it will make you stronger than someone who’s never walked into your shoe. Your have built your immunity to spiritual suffering.

Did you know people who suffer in life, can deal with hardships, and challenges better that life throws at them… than those who never walked the walk… or talk the talk?

Coping Strategies

  • Smile more this can trick the mind as to how you are really feeling and can work. …
  • Portray a confident appearance one of my favorite. …
  • Keep a compliment journal. …
  • Celebrate your wins. …
  • Think about what you are good at and that could be anything. …
  • Reflect on your past achievements. …
  • Confide in a trusted friend. …
  • Replace negative thoughts with positive ones.

A little about me!  I have walked that walk! I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth!  I was in children’s home, and was an unloved and sensitive child.

I was made homeless, which my books go into!  I remembered walking the empty unlit streets, just staring up at the black starry skies wondering: ‘if God existed why was I sleeping in garbage?’

Do you want to know what kept me going? What kept me going was just a small light in my broken heart that refused to go out!  I could have turned to drugs, and crime… but this flickering flame gave me hope. One day I would be off the streets.  I had no motivation… all I had was the will power to live, and to get off the cold wintry streets.

Once I had my first studio flat, and landed on my feet; I start to study, and the rest is history.

I have had some painful experiences living on the streets, things that would have given many people nightmares.

But today I have a generous smile, and I give healing, and love to so many broken people. The reason why I am a good teacher and healer is because I know what is like to lose hope. I also motivate many kids to stay off drugs and there was not one that I could not help!

I also know what it is like to survive on only a small flicker of light burning in my heart that became my only will power to keep me going.

How to Plan a Successful Life covers many true stories of people who were living on the streets and are now millionaires! My own story is also mentioned!  I did not stop believing in me. And guess what! I believe in you!
