Are You Impacted By The #1 Cause Of Suffering
Are You Impacted by the #1 Cause of Suffering? Part 9 in the MindValley Reunion=Mind Blown series, which continues next week After years of personal development study and practice, I was amazed that I could be made aware of a truth so obvious, and so fundamental, yet never realized its prevalence and the vast impacts that it has on so many lives. It is why Marisa Peer is the most quoted expert in Vishen Lakhianiâs book, Code of the Extraordinary Mind, and among my blogs. There is a reoccurring automatic thought (some experts call them ANTs â" Automatic Negative Thoughts) that many other thoughts can be traced back to. And if you have felt as though you have fallen short of your personal goals, or that your life is not living up to a par you have established, even if by most standards your life is good, this is often the thought responsible for that feeling. As a world-renowned hypnotherapist who has worked with youth and the destitute as well as the rich, famous, and even royal, Marisa has seen this thought play out in so much needless suffering. This thought causes marriages to fail. It causes emptiness even when resources are full. It causes people to hurt others. It causes suicide. It causes addiction. This thought is, âI am not good enough.â Can you see anywhere in your life where this thought, which by now is most likely a belief, impacts your decisions, which impacts your results? Have you ever shied away from speaking with someone? Have you ever decided a goal was âtoo big?â Have you pushed love or friendship away because you felt at some point it would go awry? When you look in the mirror, what is your internal dialogue? When you see someone with an outfit, haircut, or career you admire, does it make you feel good, or worse? If you are reaching for really big goals, why? Are you doing it for you? Are you hoping that by achieving big goals you will feel like you are doing enough? Are you hoping that it will make someone proud, perhaps someone who never seems fully satisfied with your efforts? When you do experience success, do you feel ease or do you feel something else â" anxiety, pressure, fear? A couple other common pervasive and limiting beliefs are âItâs not available to meâ and âI am different, so I cannot connect.â Really take a look at this, because converting these thoughts and beliefs into positive supporting thoughts and beliefs will change your life for the better. Here is a simple pattern that we can observe easily: A thought, especially one that is reinforced with evidence or one that recurs, becomes a belief. Beliefs drive our decisions, which become our actions or inactions. These actions or inactions become our results. Neuroscience has helped us understand better how our brain operates, and how neural pathways are formed that make certain things automatic, and they become habits. Habits are behaviors that we donât think much about â" we just do them. This is supposed to be helpful to our survival, except that this is how bad habits are formed. Chances are that if you have identified this thought at work in your life, it has been at work for a very long time â" since you were a child. The traditional treatment for this is therapy. Marisa points out, however, that it is still highly inefficient and based on the fact that some people spend years in therapy without vast transformation in their lives. Newer discoveries in neuroscience have found that we are more capable of changing our brains than once believed, and that it doesnât have to take years to do it, and to see results from it. Hypnosis has been scientifically proven to be effective in accelerated, even instant, resolution of bad habits. Marisa has been working with some of the top neuroscientists to develop a program called Rapid Transformational Therapy, and at the MindValley Reunion in San Diego in August, she brought us through 4 of the 7 modules of this program, which is based on practical neuroscience and teaches you to be your OWN healer. If you have ever tried to change before, you know how hard it is, and this is also thanks to our brain and its tendency to want to protect us. When anomalies in patterns or our environment occur, our brain naturally fires synapses and releases hormones that we experience as unease or even anxiety â" our heart rate increases, our breathing gets short, our muscles tense up, our palms may sweat. This can feel uncomfortable, and depending on the level, can even feel painful. If we do nothing to intervene with these responses, we will naturally be inclined to avoid things that create these responses. We may even use our logical brains to validate our need to avoid them. By becoming mindful, we can choose to be more conscious than subconscious about our reaction. We can ask questions that our mind will naturally answer, such as, âIs my life being threatened?â We can also manipulate our physical response by choosing a slower breath and relaxing our muscles. If we can make this a practice, we can create new responses to change, and even associate positive change with good feelings, and release dopamine instead of cortisol, which will make us crave change and the good feelings we have started to generate. The thing is, this practice still takes significant time. What Marisa has done is leveraged what we understand now about the brain to build neural pathways in ONE short session. Here is the GREAT news > Right now MindValley Academy is offering a FREE 30-minute Masterclass so that you can experience this for yourself! I have no idea how long this will be offered, so do not hesitate to sign up now! In the meantime, if you feel brave and see how it can serve others, share with us in the comments what you discovered about how these common thoughts and beliefs have impacted your life.

Three Lessons from Three Internships in One Year
Three Lessons from Three Internships in One Year Three Lessons from Three Internships in One Year This is a visitor post by Meredith Whye for Student Stories. It's hard to believe, but it's true, three temporary jobs between May 2013 and May 2014. My temporary job vocation began high up in the Rocky Mountains, working for a day camp as its media understudy. From that point forward, a little grounds philanthropic enrolled me for PR and online networking work and I inevitably turned into its understudy chief. Later on, I applied to a neighborhood Internet advertising office spontaneously and was offered a position. These temporary positions were all similarly acceptable and terrible in an assortment of ways. They gave significant work understanding, yet more critically, they showed me exercises. One thing I gained from them was to take ownership of my missteps so here they are: three exercises I gained from various temporary positions in my last year of the scholarly world. 1. Escape your customary range of familiarity What a platitude exercise however truly, it's significant. Working at the day camp, I was encircled by glad kids and clever camp guides. Be that as it may, I once in a while partook in camp games or exercises since I sensed that I didn't have a place. I was only the young lady out of sight with the camera. That was presumably my greatest lament of the temporary job. I wish I had stuck my neck out more and participated in the fun, rather than keeping down. Something else, this entry level position was most likely my best; I was consistently neck-somewhere down in workâ"either shooting pictures, blogging or altering recordings or photographs. I truly submerged myself and got an incredible impression of what this sort of work resembled. In any entry level position, putting yourself out there is significant. Now and again it's terrifying, particularly in case you're modest from the start like me, at the end of the day fulfilling. With entry level positions, it's critical to show your chief and colleagues that you're not hesitant to join the organization culture (regardless of whether that culture be an office or day camp loaded with kids). 2. In case you're going to bail, bail early At my temporary position with the philanthropic, I adored the reason and individuals we worked with. I was enthusiastic about making effort openings and teaching others about what we were doing. I didn't, nonetheless, similar to my chief. He gave me a power position in the philanthropic as understudy executive however once in a while let me have any control or state in choices. I had a feeling that I was consistently on shaky ground with him. At the point when I at long last got the nerve to stop, I was eyebrows somewhere down in my activity. I had contacts, an office and a promoting contract with a customer. I would lose them all by stopping. I ought to have chosen to leave when I previously got the hunch of vulnerability. Rather, I stayed on the grounds that I was unable to pull off the allegorical bandage. The alleviation I felt, notwithstanding, when I at last speedy was justified, despite all the trouble. Bailing early applies to any temporary job or occupation, sincerely. On the off chance that you have a feeling that you shouldn't be there, consider leaving as opposed to staying it out. I expect anybody perusing this is youthful, so get up and do it! Try not to sit around idly with a terrible chief or workplace. That being saidâ"have a reinforcement plan. I made my brain up to stop on a specific date and began searching for different employments. I had a prospective employee meet-up the day after I quit and was offered a position seven days after the fact. Stopping can be thrilling and frightening, yet having a reinforcement makes it less unsure. 3. In case you're not energetic, don't do it The activity I was offered lead into my next temporary position, which may have been the most important. I came in energized; the organization appeared as though it had such a laid back and fun air. I was siphoned to at long last work in an office, not a little association where I was actually the entire showcasing office. Rather, I wound up doing basically nothing I was energetic about. The organization needed me compose web journals and advertising materials about development, a.k.a the driest material on the planet. In addition they just gave me one blog entry daily, which passed by rapidly in an eight-hour workday. Try not to get it bentâ"I love to compose. In any case, I can't compel myself to expound on something I don't have my central core in. The sentiment of misery heightened. I realized I was baffled with the absence of genuine work and my manager clearly detected it as wellâ"calling me while I was on spring break in Vegas. Hearing him state, You simply don't appear to be enthusiastic about what we do here, was a help to me. He was correct. I wasn't enthusiastic about development and never will be. It felt engaging to have the option to understand that and leave glad. By and large, in the event that you are stuck accomplishing something that doesn't feel right to you, and it isn't giving you what you need, make some noise. I wish I had said I was unsettled before. On the off chance that you are just getting espresso or composing insipid blog entries in your temporary position, make some noise or search for different chances. The entirety of my temporary jobs, while not generally a perfect circumstance, let me tailor my necessities. I understood what fulfills me, what I am keen on doing. My temporary jobs have all prompted me to where I am currentlyâ"going to graduate and move to Sydney, Australia for a vocation. Ensure your temporary job fit your needs, don't simply take whatever you can get and settle. About the Author: Meredith Whye is going to graduate with a degree in PR Marketing. She's worked with everybody from mother pop stores to Fortune 500 organizations. She is as of now planning to move to Sydney, Australia after graduation.

Where are you whe n you blow up? Who drives you crazy? Record this. What's more, next time you wind up yelling, add to the rundown. This isn't significant - it's critical.Usually we don't understand we're furious until furniture is being broken. In any case, in the event that you know the conditions that trigger your outrage, you can evade them or get ready yourself.And we need to get much more granular than that.

Research consistently shows that controlling your setting is one of the most remarkable (and least demanding) approaches to change your behavior.People state that governmental issues drives them mad ⦠and afterward they proceed to peruse progressively political news.

And that sort of reasoning makes me angry. Hey there. Be clever: I can't maintain a strategic distance from traffic! Yes, yet your consideration can. Book recordings. Digital recordings.

Be creative.(To get familiar with the seven-advance wake-up routine that will satisfy all of you day, click here.)Okay, you're evading outrage shots like Neo. Yet, how improve at managing outrage when it hits you?3) Train your mindLet's start your preparation, youthful Padawan, so you may have the Jedi aptitudes to fight the Dark Side. (Well, your Dark Side, that is.) How improve adapt to outrage? First we gotta drive you mad ⦠Sit down. Close your eyes. Take several breaths. Presently envision something that causes you to lose it. Get an unmistakable picture in you head. Make it as genuine as could be expected under the circumstances, the situations developing before you. Indeed, you are actually trying to get yourself irritated ⦠But instead of becoming involved with the translations - the musings and stories you inform yourself regarding how they sho uldn't do this, and that is uncalled for - center around the sensations in your body. The pressure in your brow. Your face getting flushed. Muscles tensing.Now those musings and stories are going to rise. That is unavoidable. But observe them, don't grasp them. What's that mean? When you feel physical torment, you remember it as a sign. You don't state, I am torment. But when you feel outrage, you do say, I am furious. Stop that. Watch contemplations and emotions like they're words another person is addressing you. Try not to hold onto them as being you. I'm seeing furious sentiments not I am angry.Then come back to seeing sensations. You're going to continue getting pulled away by the musings. That is alright. Notice them. Try not to collaborate with them or attempt to drive them away. At that point return your thoughtfulness regarding the sensations in your body again.Thoughts will continue coming. You'll have to take your concentration back to sensation again and again. That is a lright. Ever wonder what reflection (come back to the breath, come back to the breath ⦠) has to do with care? There's your answer. Relinquish understanding, center around sensation.From The DBT Skills Workbook for Anger:If you start to name or judge the sensations, notice that assessment or judgment, and afterward take your consideration back to seeing the sensations as just sensations. Carry your regard for any contemplations that are available, concentrating on simply seeing these considerations as musings without appending to them.The next thing you need to do is classified objective marking. Note what is happening without judging it. Ever round out a protection report? You wouldn't state And afterward the idiot annihilated my vehicle.

Too Confident to Fail
Too Confident to Even consider failing Too Confident to Even consider failing With the multiplication of the virtual commercial center and crowdfunding sources, it's to be expected to discover that today it's simpler than any time in recent memory to begin a business and get it subsidized. It's likewise to be expected that since there are more new organizations than any other time in recent memory, there are more bombed organizations than any time in recent memory, as well. However, what is astounding (at any rate to me) is that reviews show that disappointment doesn't approach learning involvement with the startup world. Actually, disappointment isn't a marker of future achievement however of future disappointment. Here's James Surowiecki in his ongoing New Yorker column regarding the matter: A 2009 investigation of adventure supported firms found that business visionaries who had flopped in the past were very little bound to prevail in new pursuits than first-time business people were-somewhere in the range of 80% of the individuals who had bombed before bombed once more. A later investigation of in excess of 8,000 German endeavors arrived at a significantly grimmer resolution: organizers who had recently fizzled were bound to fall flat than fledglings. Be that as it may, more disappointment in the startup world, while awful for business people, is in reality uplifting news for non-business people. Since we don't have a clue how to recognize great organizations ahead of time, speculators wind up financing loads of them with the expectation that a couple of will become showbiz royalty. As a character on the new HBO arrangement Silicon Valley says of a V.C., You know how ocean turtles have, similar to, a poo ton of infants in light of the fact that the greater part of them kick the bucket in transit down to the water? Subside simply needs to make sure his cash makes it to the sea. The economy has come to depend on this Darwinian procedure to drive development. Carelessness implies that a lot a bigger number of organizations fire up than will ever succeed, Brian Wu, an educator of procedure at the University of Michigan, let me know. That is disastrous for singular organizations. The Catch 22 is that it's extremely valuable for society. Thus, on the off chance that you think you have the stuff to turn into a business visionary (and the stuff, as a matter of first importance, is an absurd degree of fearlessness: a recent report in the Journal of Business Venturing found that business visionaries are presumptuous about their capacity to forestall terrible results, and an ongoing paper called 'Living Forever' noticed that business people are almost certain than others to overestimate their life expectancies), at that point you better ensure your first endeavor isn't a disappointment. With that in mind, here are three bits of strange startup counsel from three effective business visionaries (who all happen to be Stanford Business School graduates): 1. Ensure you're the correct business person for the venture.According to Ben Horowitz, CEO of attire retailer Bonobos, It's less an issue of whether you are a high-potential business visionary or whether your thought is extraordinary, yet would you say you are a high-potential business visionary for that good thought? Prior to Bonobos, I took a shot at a thought for a customized content magazine, like Instaper. There was no explanation I was the opportune individual to fabricate that business, along these lines I didn't. 2. Picture your organization as a full fledged entity.Beth Cross, the CEO of equestrian attire and footwear organization Ariat International, says, Envisioning enormous accomplishment from Day 1 causes you plan the numerous little components of what will in the long run structure the structure, system, and plan of action of an a lot bigger organization. Regularly the fervor of the beginning up-of item improvement and raising support divert individuals from taking the long view about organization and the way of life. Maybe it very well may be contrasted with the distinction between a wedding and a marriage-the energy and whirlwind of action during the beginning up stage is the wedding, and the difficult work of building a feasible organization is progressively similar to a marriage. 3. Make significance for your clients and your workers. Chip Conley, originator of Joie de Vivre Hotels, the biggest boutique inn network in California, says it's imperative to solicit yourself, What brings a feeling of importance for your partners? What makes a transformative, self-completed understanding for your clients? How would you make pride of proprietorship for your speculators? To help answer these inquiries, Conley suggests that business visionaries read Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning, where Frankl related that even at Auschwitz a few detainees had the option to find significance in their lives-if just in helping each other as the day progressed and that those disclosures were what invigorated them the will and to persevere. According to Conley, Frankl's book has affected how he makes importance and culture at Joie de Vivre, which, if its name is any sign, is likely a happy work environment.

Finding Resume Translation Services
Finding Resume Translation ServicesMany employers look at your resume in English, but some of them don't. They will simply search the resume using a translator, so that you can be sure that what you write in English isn't going to make them upset with you. If you are a citizen of Canada, you should be able to use Canadian-translated resumes to increase your chances of getting hired.One common problem with writing resumes in English is that you are limited in the information that you can put on it. You can't just have the job title and say 'to apply for the position', because most employers use spell-check and grammar check. They may also skip over the next few lines, since they are English, and this may leave you out of the running.Another problem with resumes in English is that if you misspell something, there is a good chance that the employer won't notice it. That's because English is written from right to left, and your typo may have been written in the wrong column. Of course, t his isn't likely to happen, but it could. Therefore, it is important to look at what your resume has to say, and see if it is complete.Another problem with English-translated resumes is that some companies, especially big multinational corporations, have policies against hiring people from other countries. They consider these people to be a liability, since they aren't able to speak the language correctly. Even if you don't actually know a lot of the language, it is important to have a bit of knowledge of it to be able to find out whether you would be a good candidate.If you want to be sure that your resume will show up when someone does a search in English, then you should use the services of a translator. Many Canadian companies will hire translators to do this and will pay much less than you'd pay by yourself. Plus, since it is a professional service, you are sure that the translated resume will get you through the screening process and be considered for an interview.However, som etimes it isn't just a matter of translating your resume in English. It can be a very time-consuming process. Luckily, there are companies that will do it for you for a fraction of the price that you'd pay if you did it yourself.Since many companies hire employees who speak other languages besides English, the translation isn't really necessary. However, if you are bilingual, or need to be able to speak another language, you should be able to use the services of a translator to get the job.With the help of a translator, you can be certain that your resume will appear in English, and that it won't make you look like a liability. That can mean the difference between getting an interview and being put on the back burner for a while.

How to Upgrade Your Resume, Part 1 - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career
How to Upgrade Your Resume, Part 1 - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Having reviewed and re-written hundreds of resumes over the last 12 years, it is likely I have seen all of the typical shortcomings of professional resumes. In this series of blog posts, I want to alert you regarding how to identify resume weaknesses and eliminate as many as possible so that this self-marketing tool is as beneficial as possible. As I mention in Chapter 6 of Fast Track Your Job Search (and Career!), do not write your résumé in a manner that is most pleasing to you. It is important that you write your résumé in a manner that will be most pleasing to the people who will be reading your résumé. A good place to start is to consider what I call the â15 second skim testâ. When a resume is submitted for a published job, reviewers can expect to be faced with 200 or more submissions. This drives reviewers to set a fast pace that typically gives each resume 10-15 seconds on their first pass, after which they decide if yours should be trashed or set aside for further analysis. For this reason, it is important that you compose your resume in a manner that maximizes your odds of passing this first phase of review. Here are some questions that will alert you to information that most reviewers are seeking during their first 20 seconds, thus helping you identify shortcomings and opportunities for improvement. When a recruiter or hiring manager has roughly 20 seconds to review your current resume, Does the layout allow them to easily define your work history (job titles and years of experience) in a general sense? Does the layout allow them to easily define your key educational accomplishments such as the college degrees you have earned? Do the other contents that are most likely to be identified tend to paint a positive picture of you as a person with relevant accomplishments that would indicate your ability to handle the job for which you are being considered? Some functional tools available for you to upgrade your resume and better convey these three messages are: Font â" I donât recommend varying fonts within the body of your resume. Font size â" Two font sizes, such as Times New Roman 11 point and 12 point, can help emphasize certain items. Other such tools available to you include bolding, italics, underlines, indentations and justifications, horizontal tabs, line spacing, and capitalization. Here are some suggestions for using these tools to upgrade your resume and better succeed when it needs to pass the â15 second skim testâ: Use bolding, increased font size, capitalization, and underlining as you desire to create sectional headers that aid the reader in jumping from section to section in order to find the information they seek. Bold, and consider italicizing, all your job titles and left-justify them so they are easy to find. Right-justify your dates of employment for each title with each company. If you have more than five years of post-undergraduate professional experience, place your educational credentials after your work experience and bold the degree descriptions such as âM.B.A. (Finance)â. Insure that some of your key quantified results are bolded so that they jump out from the other text. If you will review your resume and use my suggestions to make your resume more reader friendly, you will increase your odds of making it past the first round of screening when you are faced with significant competition. Future posts will examine additional shortcomings and offer ideas for overcoming them. Stay tuned!

Trumps election tells us that were all a bunch of liars
Trumps election tells us that were all a bunch of liars Last night my husband and I woke up in the middle of the night to talk politics. We didnt talk about how surprised we were. We went through the list of people we know who voted for Trump but wouldnt admit it. We know a lot of them because we dont live in California or New York. We live in The Rest of The Country. If you live on the coasts you probably dont understand what its like to be surrounded by Trump voters, so Ill tell you. First, theres no discussion of politics except to say platitudes that everyone accepts as true. Because outside of the coasts its not polite to start disagreements. So a political discussion goes like this: Everything fell apart with NAFTA. Uh huh. Thats for sure. Hillarys a liar. Yep. Shes been lying forever. That video of Trump in the bus was so sad. It was so sad. Conversation among people who are not New Yorkers is not really give and take, so much as its call and response. No one tells you they are voting for Trump. Instead, their kids tell you. As typical homeschoolers, my kids know no typical limits for intellectual discussion. So they talk politics with other kids, and most kids my kids talk to say they support Trump. And let me tell you, its not because they are reading CNN.com voraciously. Its because their parents support Trump. My niece, also living in a state that does not have an ocean front, had a mock election in her high school. We are not talking impoverished and uneducated here. This is a high school with a ski team. And it wasnt just that Trump won the mock election that made my niece leave school early. It was that her classmates were chanting, Build that wall! Build that wall! What I want you to know is that Trump voters dont tell you they are Trump voters. It shouldnt surprise you because the only people who have a voice in the media are in New York and California. And look, Im not telling you this as a Trump voter. Im telling you this a member of the media. Does it shock you to hear that 80% of the writers for high-end magazines come from Park Slope or Montclair? I made that number up, but I dare you to spend a day reading the bylines. You will be completely shocked by how many writers live in these towns. The reason is that being a writer is a glamorous job that doesnt pay enough to support a family, so the only people who can do it have spouse making a ton of money. And those writers live in Park Slope (Brooklyn) or Montclair (New Jersey). So if you want to be a member of the media, you have to talk like them. Act like them. Or you are a loser in a small-town and not really counted as media. Im telling you this to let you know how out of touch the media is with America. Mainstream America doesnt go to spinning classes. They go to casinos. We lie to ourselves when we think we know how the US thinks and votes. We lie to ourselves when we think there is anything in the media reflecting The Rest Of The Country. Rural people lie to each other when they pretend they are having real conversations. And city people lie when they pretend they can represent the US in the media. But there are more lies. The Democratic Party propped up Hillary as if she was the peoples choice. She wasnt. Even laudatory writing about Hillary was lukewarm. Poll after poll showed that Bernie Sanders could beat Trump and that Hillary would have a harder time beating Trump. And I dont know if Russia hacked the DNC or Comey is working for the RNC or what, but its clear that the Democrat Party didnt plan for a fair primary. The Democrat voters dont like Hillary. Why is this a shock? We knew this during the primary. Why are we pretending that the DNC didnt throw this election away? American voters want change, and people do not perceive Hillary as change. We dont need polls to know this. And now, a word from South Park. I watch South Park with my son every night, so you can imagine that we have ended up watching many episodes more than once. Which means we are excited when a new episode comes out. And a recent South Park episode pointed out that Republicans didnt throw a fit when Trump repeatedly said slurs against the Hispanic population in the US or against the Muslim population at large. Republicans didnt distance themselves from Trump until he talked in lewd ways about women. Which tells us that the Republicans think its fine to be racist. We live in a racist country. We live in a country of arrogant city people. We live in a country with corrupt parties. And we have open elections but we dont have open discourse. I think about Nazi Germany all the time. What would I have done? Now I know. I would have lied to myself just like everyone else lied to themselves. Thats how democracies crumble: under the lies we tell ourselves. I think you read this blog because I spend a lot of time calling out people for lies. Here are some things Ive said that people hate me for saying: Dont report sexual harassment. Dont hire for diversity. Marry for money. You put your kids in school because you are cowardly. You are not going to earn any more money than you earn now. Your graduate degree is worthless. This is not controversial stuff. I mean, in terms of research and data its not controversial. But we dont let people say those things because they offend our sensibilities. People feel compelled to tell me Im hurting someone their wife, their daughter, their career, their ego, whatever because Im telling the truth. Thats why we are all shocked that Trump is elected. Because we are so comfortable hiding from the truth. Do you want to know how to have a safe, secure work life and a personal life that is stable and fulfilling? Stop lying to yourself. Put your outrage aside and open your eyes to reality. Learn to understand why people do what they do. Just because the world is not how you think it SHOULD be doesnt mean you cant see it for what it actually is. Redirect your election incredulity. Try to find your part in it. Try to find where you lie to yourself. Try to be more honest about your own life. The best way to fight a failing democracy is to try radical honesty. With everyone.
