WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THAT FORGIVING SOMEONE TODAY COULD INCREASE YOUR PRODUCTIVITY AND SUCCESS IN BUSINESS AND POSSIBLY MAKE YOU MORE MONEY?....WOULD THAT BE WORTH SOMETHING TO YOU?

In a study conducted by Dr. Frederick Luskin, a Senior Advisor in Health Promotion at Standford University, and Director of The Stanford Forgiveness Projects, he showed that financial advisors who were given training in interpersonal forgiveness as a healthy response to the normal difficulties of business produced an average increase in sales between 18 - 46% over an reference group of advisors who produced average increases of only 5 - 14%. He also showed that their (the financial advisors who received training) level of productivity increased by 24% as well as their ability to experience positive emotional states like happiness, better focus, better night's sleep. They also showed a 23% decrease in physical symptoms of stress.

WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THAT FORGIVING SOMEONE TODAY COULD HELP RELIEVE, PREVENT or POSSIBLY CURE A CONDITION LIKE HEART DISEASE OR CANCER....WOULD THAT SPARK YOUR CURIOSITY

Research has now found the physiological link between negative emotional states such as prolonged anger, hostility and depression and heart disease. It has also been known for some time that prolonged stress lowers the immune system leaving you more vulnerable to illness. Holding onto hurts, grudges, annoyances, pet peeves or old wounds that get re- opened by life events are a stressful event to your body.

then why dont we able to adopt this tool if it is so useful..
here are the problems...
The Problem: Misconceptions
Misconceptions about what forgiveness is and is not. People think or perceive forgiveness as weakness or giving in, excusing the behavior of someone who behaved badly or that it means forgetting about what happened to them or reconciling.
It is perceived as being a religious practice.
People don’t know how to forgive, they do not have a process for dealing with their emotions. Religious traditions usually do advocate forgiveness but don’t always offer practical steps as to how.
The Solution: Education
Helping people develop a new understanding of forgiveness as a healthy response to stress,.
Helping people understand that it is not just a religious practice but a valid form of mind body therapy that is an integral part of healing and prevention.
Helping people understand that it is not about weakness but about power, as in taking yours back. and not leaving the responsibility for your health, your wealth and your well being and happiness in someone else’s hands by blaming them.
If I have persuaded you to forgive someone today and you would like to explore this topic more, I have included the links to the resources and articles I referred to today, You can also print a copy of Dr. Luskin’ 9 Steps to Forgiveness which is freely available on his website. I also invite you to explore this new website forgivenessasanactofpower.com which will provide help and support to people who would like to learn more and get support for their process of forgiveness.

DRINK WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH ..important to know n practise..

2009-06-17T23:10:00.000-07:00

Got from a friend today...quite nice..not sure how true..

I didnt know that water can be so important and not only vital for life..but can be act as life saving drug...read on and practise it..

DRINK WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH

It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven its value. We publish below a description of use of water for our readers. For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been found successful by a Japanese medical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases: Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, gastritis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and menstrual disorders, ear nose and throat diseases. METHOD OF TREATMENTAs you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink 4 x 160ml glasses of waterBrush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minuteAfter 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hoursThose who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning may commence by taking little water and gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others can enjoy a healthy life. The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to cure/control/reduce main diseases: 1. High Blood Pressure (30 days) 2. Gastric (10 days) 3. Diabetes (30 days) 4. Constipation (10 days) 5. Cancer (180 days) 6. TB (90 days) 7. Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days in the 1st week, and from 2nd week onwards – daily. This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times. It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work in our life. Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active. This makes sense .. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals ..not cold water. Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain... For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this "sludge" reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal. A serious note about heart attacks: Women should know that not every heart attack symptom is going to be the left arm hurting, Be aware of intense pain in the jaw line. You may never have the first chest pain during the course of a heart attack. Nausea and intense sweating are also common symptoms. 60% of people who have a heart attack while they are asleep do not wake up. Pain in the jaw can wake you from a sound sleep. Let's be careful and be aware. The more we know, the better chance we could survive...

is there really a recession..?

2009-03-05T21:06:00.000-08:00

What is recession?

This Story is about a man who once upon a time was selling "Wada-Pav" by
the roadside.

He was illiterate, so he never read newspapers.

He was hard of hearing, so he never listened to the radio.

His eyes were weak, so he never watched television.

But enthusiastically, he sold lots of "Wada-pavs".

He was smart enough to offer some attractive schemes to increase his
sales.

His sales and profit went up..

He ordered more a more raw material and buns and use to sale more.

He recruited few more supporting staff to serve more customers.

He started offering home deliveries. Eventually he got himself a bigger
and better stove.

As his business was growing, the son, who had recently graduated from
College, joined his father.

Then something strange happened.

The son asked, "Dad, aren't you aware of the great recession that is
coming our way?"

The father replied, "No, but tell me about it." The son said, "The
international situation is terrible.

The domestic situation is even worse. We should be prepared for the
coming bad times."

The man thought that since his son had been to college, read the papers,
listened to the radio and watched TV.

He ought to know and his advice should not be taken lightly.

So the next day onwards, the father cut down his raw material order and
buns, took down the colourful signboard,

removed all the special schemes he was offering to the customers and was
no longer as enthusiastic.

He reduced his staff strength by giving layoffs.

Very soon, fewer and fewer people bothered to stop at his hotdog stand.

And his sales started coming down rapidly, same is the profit.

The father said to his son, "Son, you were right".

"We are in the middle of a recession and crisis. I am glad you warned me
ahead of time."

Moral of The Story: It's all in your MIND! And we actually FUEL this
recession much more than we think we do!!!!!!!!!! !!

What can we take away from this story??

1. How many times we confuse intelligence with good judgment?

2. Choose your advisors carefully but use your own judgment

3. A person or an organization will survive forever, if they have the 5
Cs

* Character

* Commitment

* Conviction

* Courtesy

* Courage

The tragedy today is that there are many walking encyclopedias that are
living failures.

The More practical and appropriate views on this economic recession is:

"This is the time to reunite together for any small or a big
organization,

this is the time to motivate and retain people which are the biggest
asset,

this is the time to show more commitments to the customers,

this is the time show values of our company to the world,

and this is the time to stand by our Nation".

Please do not take this Lightly..

"People are as Happy as they decide to be"

What on earth is this recession? An awesome explanation that answers all questions.

Linda is the proprietor of a bar in Cork. In order to increase sales, she decides to allow her loyal customers - most of whom are unemployed alcoholics - to drink now but pay later.
She keeps track of the drinks consumed on a ledger (thereby granting the customers loans). Word gets around and as a result increasing numbers of customers flood into Linda's bar. Taking advantage of her customers' freedom from immediate payment constraints, Linda increases her prices for wine and beer, the most-consumed beverages. Her sales volume increases massively.
A young and dynamic customer service consultant at the local bank recognizes these customer debts as valuable future assets and increases Linda's borrowing limit. He sees no reason for undue concern since he has the debts of the alcoholics as collateral. At the bank's corporate headquarters, expert bankers transform these customer assets into DRINKBONDS, ALKBONDS and PUKEBONDS. These securities are then traded on markets worldwide.
No one really understands what these abbreviations mean and how the securities are guaranteed. Nevertheless, as their prices continuously climb, the securities become top-selling items. One day, although the prices are still climbing, a risk manager (subsequently of course fired due to his negativity) of the bank decides that slowly the time has come to demand payment of the debts incurred by the drinkers at Linda's bar.
However they cannot pay back the debts. Linda can not fulfil her loan obligations and claims bankruptcy. DRINKBOND and ALKBOND drop in price by 95 %. PUKEBOND performs better, stabilizing in price after dropping by 80 %. The suppliers of Linda's bar, having granted her generous payment due dates and having invested in the securities are faced with a new situation. Her wine supplier claims bankruptcy, her beer supplier is taken over by a competitor. The bank is saved by the Government following dramatic round-the-clock consultations by leaders from the governing political parties (and vested interests). The funds required for this purpose are obtained by a tax levied on the non-drinkers.
Finally an explanation one can understand...

Use these meanings as a starting point in your own explorations. We are each unique individuals and colors may hold different meanings for us than for others, just as a piece of music inspires different feelings in different people.Use colors to promote those qualities you wish to emphasize.
