Four Proven Techniques On How To Capture Positive Habits:
Bad habits, we all have them. They keep us fromaccomplishing our dreams, make us say and do things thatreally aren't in our integrity.Good habits allow us to transition through our day onautopilot. So much so, we forget that our good habits havea bigger strong hold.Dr. Phil McGraw, TV-psychologist and Oprah offspring, saysthat we need to, "Behave our way to success." I cringe whenI hear this, don't you? It sounds so easy. Yet, we bothknow it isn't.Positive psychology, the scientific study of happy,confident people, presents many proven techniques thatassist in transitioning bad habits into good habits.
Hereare four proven techniques:1. In order to eliminate a bad habit, it must be overriddenwith a good habit. Not eliminated but replaced. When thegood habit becomes stronger, it naturally takes over andfolds into our life. Usually becoming transparent because itmelts into our life and we have already uncovered the nextone to work on.It doesn't matter whether you want to replace the habitof lateness, cursing, or overeating.
The habit's intensitydetermines the effort and time required to replace. Don'tconfuse effort with will power--they aren't the same.Effort is making a variety of alternatives until the oldhabit melts into a new one. The right amount of effort willalways be different for you than anyone else. There isn'tan exact measurement because each of our unique qualities.2. Discipline is an exercise of repetition.
Not once ortwice but until. Until completed.For instance, writing isn't a natural talent. Yes, researchshows that it helps to start the process young. Yet, thereare female Pulitzer Prize winners who began writing in theirfifties -- after family obligations. They replaced theirfamily responsibilities with the discipline needed to be asuccessful writer.
They disciplined their way to success.Most people think positive thinkers naturally flow withconfidence. Yet, positive psychology statistics dispel thismyth. What's different is the amount of time and space theyallow when negative habits or messages appear. They appearincandescent to them.3. Rewards.
As managing partner of a CPA firm for 15years, I thought rewards meant bonuses and paid massages.After attending Coach University and intensifying my studyin the Laws of Attraction, my perspective shifted. Positivepeople don't need an outside push; they seemingly have anatural internal push that continually pulls them forward.Sometimes labeled as determination or drive.When Donald Trump appeared on the Oprah show in April, Oprahasked him, "I heard very successful people don't even seenegative." Donald chewed on this for a few long televisionminutes and then responded, "Yes, that is why I hire otherswho can see what I can't.... Negative isn't on my radarscreen."4. Be assertive on what's fueling you, as diligent aboutall things in your realm, as the quality of food you digest,and the purity of the water you drink.To create a garden of positive habits, surround yourselfwith flowers not figurative speaking either. Complete aregular inventory.
See each item for its truth, intention,and influence. Don't wave it off as "not that big of adeal."Remove negative people, negative television shows, movies,books, even conversations. If Mama, spouse, sister, orbrother fits this description, explain its impact on yourlife. Don't blame, explain. Explain how it affects yoursuccess, your dreams.
I'm sure they do what they do out ofhabit and not purposeful. If presented honestly andlovingly the people involved will see the gift.An ideal choice is to use a positive clean-burning fuel.This begins with new words (language) to self and others.Each of us make choices every second. Get up, sit down,speak, listen, and so on. Make new choices, ones that fuelpositive habits.Take inventory on your environment and what you tolerate.What is broken, dented, stained? Fix, toss, give away,replace. Eliminate each ball and chain, one at a time, inbaby steps.
You will walk taller, talk and think clearer.You will attract more results that are positive into yourlife. Positive attracts positive--the Law of Attraction.Fuel your surroundings with meaningful and beautiful things.That doesn't mean expensive. It can simply be a fresh roseon your desk every week and the stopping by the florist oryour own garden.Many habits tend to hide under the bed until dusted. Expectas you replace one, another can appear. Yes, theyeventually become fewer.
Stay focused and remember, "A roseisn't a rose without all its beautiful petals."Be aggressive. When they appear, and they will, knock themdown, toss them out with the trash. And quickly. Don'tgive them room to smell or grow. You'll soon discover eachday will be lighter, brighter, and even more successful thanthe one before.
I promise!These four techniques, continually proven by hundreds of myworkshop graduates, will work for you too. They willmultiply your dreams and successes over night.

Why Small Businesses Fail (or Fail to Thrive)
Tammy, a skilled and gifted horticulturist, called me to discuss what she needed to know to start her own florist and landscaping business.
She had been in the horticulture industry for 10 years and was incredibly skilled at working with flowers and plants ? one of the best.
She also had great design skills, as well as good customer service skills.
But she had little business management experience and less self-employment experience.

Starting A Home Sewing Business - Take It One Stitch At A Time
Copyright 2006 Elaine Currie
If you want to work from home, you will soon find out that paid home employment is very hard to find.
How about starting your own business from home?
If you are good at sewing, you could use your skills to start your own home based sewing business.
There are all kinds of sewing from tailoring to delicate embroidery and most of them can be used as the basis for an enjoyable and profitable home based business.
In the past, home sewing work consisted mainly of women at home working on industrial sewing machines assembling ready cut garments as outworkers for
local factories.
This was "piece work" ie the woman was paid per finished piece of work.
The big sewing machines were noisy monsters, so it was impossible for a woman to sew and listen to music or carry on a conversation at the same time.
It was hard work but quite well paid if you could work fast.
