Success is determined by our mindset.  How we think about our experience determines the emotions we feel and the actions we take.  So you can begin to realize how important it is to think good, positive, useful thoughts.

However, anyone who has tried to manage their thoughts has probably come up against just how big a task that can be.  We have millions of thoughts a day.  How can we make sure that each one is positive and useful? 

The truth is we can't.  However what we can do is remind ourselves on a consistent basis of what we want to be true.  This can bring your conscious awareness back to noticing what you are thinking and allow you to make any adjustments towards a more positive mindset.

This is the basis behind practicing affirmations.  You see a well crafted affirmation can help you focus yourself back on to your goals and support you when you come up against resistance.

We love affirmations.  In fact, we love the idea of using affirmations so much that we created a software program that will automatically remind you of up to 12 affirmations on you desktop.  So that while you are working you can be constantly and consistently reminded of that wonderful new reality that you are creating.

Some of you have probably downloaded the old version of our affirmation reminder software.  We are so excited to announce the newest update, which has the following upgrades:

1 - it works on all operating systems!
2 - it lets you choose how often you see your reminders!
3 - it lets you turn on & off the audio!
4 - it lets you share this software with friends, at the touch of a button!

So you've no longer got an excuse for not achieving those goals.  Or staying positive despite your circumstances. 

Check it out here.  It's FREE and you can send it to your friends!  You see we believe so strongly in the power of affirmations that we think anyone should be able to use our program.  No strings attached.


We'd love to hear your comments . . . what's your favorite affirmation to use? how has it helped you?

Can You Get In Touch With That Old Fear of Storms?

There is a lot of advice out there about how to overcome a Fear of Storms.  Most of it involves taking a more logical approach to learning about weather patterns and safety precautions.  Now, I’m not against information.  Being able to look an irrational fear in the face and understand what is really going on can be very helpful.

The problem is that old subconscious reaction is powerful and the subconscious does not always respond to rational explanations.  You see all of our old behavior has positive intentions.  As strange as it may sound, that irrational fear really wants you to feel safe.  It has just created a response to a situation that is no longer useful to you.  And that may be causing you plenty of unwanted stress and anxiety every time it rains.

The way out of your fear of storms is to get in touch with that fear.  The way to get in touch with your fear of storms is to become aware of what it feels like physically.  Is it heavy or light?  Does have energy or movement?  Maybe even notice if it has a shape or a color.  You see that physical sensation you’re feeling is your subconscious mind communicating with you.  And when you get in touch with the qualities of that sensation then you are creating rapport with your subconscious mind.

Now that you know what your fear of storms feels like and what it looks like you can begin to ask it some important questions.  “What do you want for me?” is a good place to start.  We have four basic needs – control, security, approval and separateness.  And all of our negative emotions come from a desire to fulfill one of these needs.  So ask your fear – “is this a need for control, security, approval or separateness?” and see what it has to say.

It will certainly transform your fear of storms if you understand that it is really a need for control or a need for security.  That is something you can take action on and really begin to transform.

If you want to lose that fear forever, then you should check out our newest hypnosis mp3 download Eye of the Storm, Fear of Storms Hypnosis.

 

 

Having a phobia of storms can be a serious problem.  You can feel anxiety based on weather reports, anticipation of thunderstorms, and even a flash of lightening.  Whole seasons can be filled with fear and anxiety.

That's why we created our newest hypnosis mp3 download Eye of the Storm, Fear of Storms Hypnosis.  And we really went out of our way to make sure that your fears are gone for good!  We even included one of the most powerful NLP processes for overcoming fears and phobias - the fast phobia cure.

So check it out now!  And let that old anxiety be a thing of the past.

We're excited to have Roger as part of the DFC Team and especially on this product.  You see Roger used these very tools to get relief from his own struggle with Rheumatoid Arthritis.  Here's Roger's story:

"One day while working with a hypnosis client recovering from cancer it occurred to me that the same concepts should work with rheumatoid arthritis. Much to my delight, and the relief and joy of my clients, they do. Now the combined techniques of other professionals and my own twists on these techniques are proving to relieve the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, including my own.  I'm back to riding my bike, and loving it!"

Coping With Your Emotions and Rheumatoid Arthritis

by Roger Moore, PhD
Auto-Immune Disorder Specialist

In developing protocols for using hypnosis to recover from rheumatoid arthritis, I did a lot of research on the subject.

Here are some ideas to consider:

When you’ve been diagnosed with arthritis and whether you were expecting it or not, its devastating. Discovering you have a chronic illness of any sort could send your emotions into a spiral of anger and depression.

A classic symptom that accompanies arthritis, according to many experts, is depression, which may manifest itself with feelings of helplessness and feeling alone, feelings of a lack of meaning in life, mood swings, problems sleeping and lack of appetite.

The depression that many of those newly diagnosed with arthritis feel may be associated with a loss of the future that they had been planning and the realization that long term life plans may have changed.

A common fear for those diagnosed with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis to fear the future, for example, having to face up to life in a wheelchair and imagining how that may impact upon family life or career

In some cases, people who have been recently diagnosed may have a fear of the medications they have to take and what impact they will have on their lives

Every chronic illness involves loss: in the case of arthritis, the loss of activities we once enjoyed, or our self-image. Our identity is often tied to the things we do and can do. This image of ourselves now has to change and, often, we don’t know to what, or how to go about it.

Talking to someone who has been through similar fears and has similar experience with arthritis can help. Local arthritis support groups may be able to help.

Dealing with my own rheumatoid arthritis, hypnosis and diet have proven to be effective. By avoiding dairy fat and protein and minimizing foods like corn, I have minimized arthritis inflammation and pain and I get to ride my bike!

Using self hypnosis I focus my thoughts on my body, healing and directing my immune system for wellness. Hypnotherapy allows me to reduce the stress that I experience and manage my emotions, both of which directly impact rheumatoid arthritis.

You can also check out the new program I developed with the Downloads for Change Team, Move Free - Hypnosis for Rheumatoid Arthritis.  This program has 11 tracks dedicated to alleviating the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, dealing with the stress and emotions associated with a diagnosis, reducing the pain and inflammation and teaching self hypnosis.  There are also some great Lifestyle Action Steps you can take to Move Free in your life.

It's a new decade . . . a time for renewal . . . for re-dedication to your personal development.

You probably already have some ideas about things you'd like to improve in your life, and we've got 2 simple tips to help them come true.

Tip # 1 - Allow imperfection <---(that's what you used to call failure)

The single-largest reason people fail to complete their resolutions is that they fall off the wagon and never get back on, all because they no longer have a perfect track record.

Pardon our language, but screw perfection!  It never existed anyway, and the whole idea of it has been the ruin of great accomplishments and ideas -- ideas full of excellence, accomplishments full of progress -- trashed because they're "not perfect."

Give yourself permission right now to mess up.  Smile (laugh, even) and know that you will mess up, and be OK with that!  Then, when you do, smile again (laugh even more) and then keep going!  Progress and excellence are now in your hands.  Simple, right?

Classic example of a perfectionistic thought, "But I didn't start on Jan. 1, so forget about it."  Chuck that thought!  Start now.

Tip # 2 - Make a plan <---(that's what you used to call a resolution)

A resolution is a mental promise to yourself.  You and I both know that thoughts, which comprise all mental promises, are flimsy things.  Why go into this with flimsy promises?

Make a plan instead.  What's the difference, you ask?  There are 3 differences:

a) A plan is in your calendar - manageable steps of progress, positioned in the time-line of your calendar, ready for you to take action one step at a time

b) A plan has milestone goals - on that same calendar, you have placed reminders to track progress and evaluate how things are going (remember, progress is all that matters!  Excellence is yours!)

c) A plan has rewards associated with actions - whether you reward every step of action, or you reward mini-milestones along the way, be sure to write down some fun and easy rewards that you really look forward to earning.  Why not get more and more excited, the closer you get to completing milestones along your plan!

With these 2 simple tips your (excellent) New Year's resolutions (plans) are sure to succeed!
