Hot tips for effortless creating. Everything you do is a creation – some creations are vast and take your whole life to realise, some are as simple as popping down to the shops for milk. Understanding your creative process leads to incredible magic in your life. Come in and find out how.

Creating is an Art – What Does it Take to Rock Your World?
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Pollyanna_McAleer]Pollyanna McAleer

If you’ve read any of my other articles, you’ll have heard this before:

You are an infinite creative being, connected to all things through all time and space.

You are not a victim of global warming, crime rates, peak oil, rising interest rates, your family, your boss, your neighbour, your sickness, your mind or anything else.

As an amazing creative being, you are here in this existence to create a life that fulfills and satisfies you. This sounds simple and actually is, but you need to understand yourself and your creative process if you want to effortlessly create the life you would love.

Lately, I’ve been working with a number of my clients on specific projects: one is writing a book, another is designing a huge architectural project, another created and went on an overseas trip. This got me pondering the process of creating, what we run into as humans and what it takes to see your creations to their fruition.

Here are my hot tips for satisfying creating.

1. Know that everything you go for in life is a creation, driven by you. From the bigger things like creating a relationship to the smallest things, like going grocery shopping.

This is simple enough. Every time you have an idea and you go for it, you are creating. Knowing this is very empowering. As an infinite creative being you are doing this all the time, often unconsciously. When you want to create something specific, know that your success depends entirely on you.

2. Know that you always have a choice. What you create is up to you. You can choose your next five minutes, your day, your week, your life.

Take time out in your life to tune into what you would love to create. You always have a choice. You can invest your energy into what you would love to create or you can slosh around in struggle and chaos. You always have a choice even if everything around you seems to indicate otherwise.

Get clear on what you would love. Invest your energy in what you would love. Take action towards what you would love.

3. Understand the movement of energy in the creative process.

You can imagine the creative process as an arc. There’s a beginning point, a lot of middle and an end point. Each creation follows this arc. Some creations are completed in minutes, others take weeks, some take a lifetime to finish.

In the beginning, a large amount of energy is expended to thrust the creation into being. This energy is your ideas, your imaginings and the actions that you take to get your creation going. This is an exciting and stimulating phase of the creation where lots of new and novel sensations occur.

In the middle of the arc, there’s a long section where your input is required in a sustained way. The novelty of the creation may have worn off and you will run into your limited self. At some point almost at the top of the arch, you will probably hit the wall, to use a running analogy. This is the “I can’t possibly go on” point. You may observe this in yourself as the following thoughts and feelings:

I can’t do this
I’m not allowed to carry on
This is rubbish (whatever you happen to be creating)
I’m exhausted
This isn’t really what I want to be doing
I don’t care about this anymore
This hurts
Perhaps the universe is telling me I should be doing something else

At this point you may want to withdraw your energy from your creation and many people do. And that will be the end of that. No creation, no learning, no satisfaction. It is important to sustain your energy in the middle of the arc no matter what comes up for you. Persistence is key in this phase.

Interestingly, the end of the creative process needs as much energy input as the beginning to push it through to completion. Be prepared to invest your time and energy as you see the completion of your creation approaching. Give it that extra input as though you were in the final 100m of a marathon and are giving it your all to cross the line.

At completion, make sure you acknowledge what you have created and ask yourself what you have learned from the process.

4. Understand your own creative process. Observe yourself creating, notice patterns in what comes up for you when you are going for something.

All of us have a process that we go through when we create. Most of us sabotage our creations at some point in our lives, some more than others. As an infinite creative being, there is a wounded part of you that I call the limited self. This is the victim in you, that part of you that doesn’t believe that what you would love is possible, the part that seeks validation from others and from the world, the part that would limit your possibilities in life because it’s wounded. We all have a limited self and it doesn’t have to stop you from creating what you would love.

When you create, notice what comes up for you, especially in the middle phase of the creation, which is some ways is the hardest as this is when you run into the voice of your limited self in the loudest way. Learning to allow that voice to be there and continue creating anyway is a skill that will increase the success of your creations one hundredfold.

Let the voice of your limited self babble away whilst you continue to invest energy and take action towards creating what you would love.

Know that receiving your creations is the key to living a satisfying, fulfilling life. You can put all your energy and vision into creating something and then manage not to receive it at the last minute by listening to the voice of your limited self (which is there to protect you from imagined harm, not to help you live a wonderful life).

That’s it! As you follow these tips, you will learn more and more about yourself and the creative process. Be open to receiving and remember that you always have a choice about what you create.

The Top Reasons to Update Your LinkedIn Profile

Posted on September 8, 2014 by savi0043

 

Are you on LinkedIn? Have you completely set up your LinkedIn Profile? How long did it take you to get your LinkedIn profile complete? For most of us, it was a process that took longer than we wanted it to because there’s so much involved in created a LinkedIn profile correctly. In addition to having all your personal information entered accurately and completely, makes you stop and consider the keywords so that your profile ranks well in search. Not to mention if you run into any technological issues, those can definitely slow you down. But even if you have invested in professional services to help you complete the process, without any networking activity you can end up with a perfectly constructed profile that sits in the background like a treasure box in the back of the closet; there’s really good stuff in it, but nobody has opened it up to find out. The key is to make sure that you are doing the networking work to ensure that the right people are seeing your profile.

Are you on LinkedIn? Have you completely set up your LinkedIn Profile? How long did it take you to get your LinkedIn profile complete? For most of us, it was a process that took longer than we wanted it to because there’s so much involved in created a LinkedIn profile correctly. In addition to having all your personal information entered accurately and completely, makes you stop and consider the keywords so that your profile ranks well in search. Not to mention if you run into any technological issues, those can definitely slow you down. But even if you have invested in professional services to help you complete the process, without any networking activity you can end up with a perfectly constructed profile that sits in the background like a treasure box in the back of the closet; there’s really good stuff in it, but nobody has opened it up to find out. The key is to make sure that you are doing the networking work to ensure that the right people are seeing your profile.

The LinkedIn search engine uses complicated algorithms that are unique to the site. They factor in things like your Profile, activity, and connections to come up with relevance scores that only apply to you. A good way to ensure your profile is looked at is by taking the time to become part of the LinkedIn community, updating your profile regularly from your profile page with links to articles you’re reading in your field. LinkedIn Today lets you set up newsfeeds for your interests; that’s a good place to start. Don’t forget to add in any new factors from your work experience, etc. If your resume just was updated, do it on LinkedIn too. Whenever there is a change in your work experience, training or education – make sure to take the time to update your LinkedIn profile. If you need help, ask us.

The top reason to update your LinkedIn profile is because the site is not static. Your networking activity on the site keeps your profile active and gets more traffic to your page. Remember to accept those LinkedIn connections as they come in, respond to any and all comments that are left on your posts and most importantly network and engage with those people that you are connected to. You want to keep that treasure box out of the back of the closet and out in the living room where people will look inside to discover great things about you.

Travel Photography – Tips For Successful Results

Travel photography is a desirable area for many people, and as a bonus there is the opportunity to publish your work. Successful travel photography comes from interesting places and from thorough planning. Think carefully about what you want to achieve and what equipment you will need to meet your objectives. Here are some tips to help you get the images you want.

Having an interest in your subject matter is vital. Making travel photographs just because you are there will not help you make interesting photos. In addition, if you are considering writing about your experience you will need to consider documenting in detail your subject material. One or two general photographs will not be enough for a documentary manuscript for publication. Consider all aspects of the subject material and make sure you record all aspects.

Never put off a shot or subject till tomorrow. The opportunity may not be there, and neither might the photographer. Traveling always imposes unknowns and these are mainly issues with travel arrangements. Take the shots anyway and return if possible.

Respect other peoples cultures and religions, and if in doubt, ask. Never take the shot unless you know its acceptable practice. This can be a very sensitive area with many cultures. Never intrude into places of prayer or private areas. Always ask permission to take photos, most times you will get an OK, but be prepared for a no. Be discreet and always polite or it will only be more difficult for the next photographer or the next time you return.

Do not photograph military or government installations or even in airports. These days its an issue and security will spot you and possible haul you off for questioning. Anybody in military clothing and police should also be avoided in countries where there is political unrest; you do not want to end up a prisoner while on holiday.

Try selecting an interesting location and wait for the excitement to come to you. Sit back and observe what is happening around you before shooting. Get comfortable with your immediate environment first and observe the details.

Professional photographers clean their cameras and lenses every day when returning to their hotel or base accommodation. This is even more important if you use an SLR and changing lenses. This is also a good time to sort your days photography into appropriate folders on your notebook or portable storage device. It is also a good time to do your captions while the experience is still fresh in your memory.

Carry your camera at all times; compacts are very portable and there is no excuse to not have a camera. You do not forget the photograph that you missed and the image will still be in your head when you get home.

Read up on your destination before you arrive. A knowledge of local customs, features and interesting events is helpful and does not detract from the exhilaration of first impressions when you arrive. Your first stop should be to buy some local postcards to help you choose what to photograph if you do not already have a completed list.

Remember, travel photographs do not have to be the greatest images, but they do have to be interesting. If you are interested in publishing your work its worth thinking about a writing course so you can put words to your images.

How Do You Deal With Rude People? The 1 Effective Way to Deal With Rude People

Posted on July 31, 2014 by savi0043

Do you treat other people poorly are badly if they mistreat you? Have you ever been in a situation with a friend where they were rude or disloyal to you? In that situation, did you feel you had to do something to get back at them? Were you rude or nasty to them in return of what they did to you? How other people treat you should not have anything to do with how you treat them.

How Do You Deal With Rude People? The 1 Effective Way to Deal With Rude People

Do you treat other people poorly are badly if they mistreat you? Have you ever been in a situation with a friend where they were rude or disloyal to you? In that situation, did you feel you had to do something to get back at them? Were you rude or nasty to them in return of what they did to you? How other people treat you should not have anything to do with how you treat them.

The way you treat others and directly impacts how you are treated in return. There will be occasion when someone you are respectful and nice to do something rude to you. When you are confronted with rudeness, you should be kind in return. Do not try to fight fire with fire.

When someone else comes across as rude to you, you probably don’t think about what is the reason behind this. Most likely, it does not have anything to do with you, but everything with them. You may be thinking to yourself, well no matter what is going on in their lives, they do not have the right to treat me rudely and with disrespect. You have a good point, but that kind of attitude will allow you to hold a grudge, which is not healthy.

Instead, you should try a different approach. Something bad must have happened to this person during their day to make them this grumpy and irritable. Maybe the person’s family member has become deathly ill. Maybe your friend just lost their job. He may be coming down with a cold or the flu and not feeling well. Whatever the reason, it does not matter. You do not need to be ugly to someone just because they are ugly to you. People behave ugly to you because they are hurting, not because they have something against you.

When you confront rudeness with kindness, most of the time you’ll find it is mutually return. I have seen many situations where the other person realizes they are just not in a good mood and have apologized for their actions and words. If you show another person kindness and respect when they are in a bad mood, you can help lift their spirits and put them back in a good place. This is much more beneficial for you and the other party, then engaging in some kind of argument or bantering back and forth. Create win-win situations in life. Do not create Win-lose or lose-lose situations.

How To Lengthen Telomeres And Dramatically Reduce Aging

Posted on July 12, 2014 by savi0043

Recent Nobel Prize winning research has unlocked a fundamental secret of aging – Telomeres. By taking supplements which lengthen telomeres it is possible to delay and even prevent both the physical signs of aging and many age related diseases.

How To Lengthen Telomeres And Dramatically Reduce Aging
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Tammy_Colipano]Tammy Colipano

Poor health and vitality is often seen as an unfortunate but unavoidable result of growing older. However, startling new scientific discoveries have shown that this is not necessarily the case. Recent Nobel Prize winning research has unlocked a fundamental secret of aging – Telomeres. By taking supplements which lengthen telomeres it is possible to delay and even prevent both the physical signs of aging and many age related diseases.

So what are telomeres?

Telomeres are protective caps which lie at the ends of each chromosome. These caps shorten as you get older and this forms the basis of the human biological clock. When a cell divides it cannot replicate all the way to the end of chromosomes, so some telomeres are lost. However, without these protective telomeres vital genetic information would be lost instead.

How are they linked to aging?

Most people are born with 15,000 telomere units but have only 10,000 by the age of 25. Telomeres are lost every time a cell divides and replicates. The longer time that cells can replicate healthily (with telomeres for protection) the longer a person can live without degenerative disease or the signs of aging.

Supplements which lengthen telomeres

Following the groundbreaking discoveries made in the 2009 Nobel Prize winning telomere research, a lot of scientific effort has been put into finding an effective lengthening supplement. Recent supplements have been specifically engineered to promote the processes that lengthen telomeres. The supplements contain many active ingredients including reservatol, citrus bio flavanoids, bicopa monnieri extract, blueberry pterostilbenes, and astragalus extract among other. The supplement’s combination of anti-oxidants, bio flavanoids, and botanic extracts work in several ways to prevent aging:

– Its advanced antioxidant blend prevents telomere length from being degraded by harmful oxidation.

– The supplements provide the nutraceutical building blocks of both telomere length and chromosome health

– The supplements work to reduce oxidative stress on stem cells, telomeres, and chromosomes.

Telomeres and your health

As a person gets older their quality of life often decreases. This is a result of having less energy, vigor, and vitality, as well as the rising occurrence of degenerative disease like arthritis, osteoporosis, and cancer. Telomeres affect every single part of the human body, so by lengthening them you can protect your vital organs, muscles, bones, skin, brain, and physical strength. They also support your immune system and your body’s natural defenses.

Telomeres and visual aging

Smoking, poor nutrition, sun exposure and a lack of exercise are all contributing factors to the visual signs of aging, but genes play a vital role. Fine lines, wrinkles, blemishes, and sagging are all worsened by the damage done to chromosomes. Lengthening telomeres supports your body from the inside out, and it can help you to look as youthful as you feel.

The benefits of taking telomere lengthening supplements are most likely to begin after 3-6 months of use, and they will continue to develop. The correct dosage of the supplement will vary depending on factors such as your age, environment, health, and any physical demands. The earlier in your life you start the process, the better, but beginning at any age is advantageous.
