Make Your New Year Resolutions Come True – Top 3 Things to do!

How to Make New Year Resolutions

You have heard it all before:

Eat less

Stop smoking

Exercise more

Be nice to people

…and so on.

STOP already! It is the same thing each year. You make a bunch of promises that you will never keep or see through for a week, let alone seeing them through till next year.

Have you ever heard, “The path to Hell is paved with good intent.” You are not doing yourself any favors when you approach your goals half-hearted. While you were busy setting yourself up to fail, you were better off not doing anything at all. Too many people achieve failure by not knowing a few basic steps to life goals setting on how to achieve goals.

I have found that these 3 principles, when followed, assure that you give yourself the fighting chance to succeed. When painting that path for the New Year, you want to start out on the right foot – to achieve success.
Here are 3 basic principles with successful “goal-setting” that are seldom followed. (These are also the tips and tricks that make your journey easier.):

What truly makes you happy?

Happiness is not found on the TV, in Magazines, or other Media. You may think otherwise. But here is one way to recognize something that actually makes you happy. It is relatively easy to achieve, and it is sustainable, without continually feeding it. These are things we tend to take for granted.

Be Happy. Your happiness will not be achieved by doing what other people want you to do. Your happiness will only be achievable when it comes from within you.

What is your passion that drives you?

For you to be successful with goal setting, you must have a reason that drives you for those many days, weeks, months, even years it takes to reach your goals. Your endurance rides on the back of your passion. But first you must recognize what your passion is, so you can assign it to the task. If your passion does not align with your goals, then your goal is flawed – don’t bother. Find your goals that go hand in hand with your passion. Just look. They will be there.

Setting achievable goals

What good does it do if you set your goals too high? Usually you will wear yourself out before ever reaching your fist benchmark. Set smaller goals. When you set huge goals, you are setting yourself up to fail. By paving your road with success, it will lighten your burden along your path to your ultimate goal.

Here is an example of a driving commitment to achieve a goal using these 3 principles:

If you are overweight and out of shape, and you are scheduled to go on a vacation in 8 or 9 months, what kind of experience do you think you will have? As you are considering this, you realise you are not going to have the fun times you should be having if you are out of shape.
Even though others have been pointing this out to you, it really makes no difference. It only matters when you point it out to yourself, and that you can make the change. So now you see the first two points come together; your target and your driving force to reach that target.

When approaching setting your goals, you will have the ultimate goal in mind. Break it down into “bite-size” chunks. Set benchmarks for yourself that are easily achievable. Will you get a Medal for Bravery at the end if you do it in one big hit? Of course not! It is still the same long range goal. Nothing has changed. Except, you will feel much better about your struggle if you have those little benchmarks along the way. This gives you confidence you are heading in the best direction.

I hope these few tips will help you in the New Year.

Negative Thoughts – Pandora’s Box of Self Fulfilling Prophecy.

Shannon Panzo 3 comments

Pandora’s Box of Self Fulfilling Prophecy

thoughts Pandoras Box

A client recently told me that he had a problem with having visions of tragedy happening to people around him, and even to himself. He claimed that even though these deep thoughts were only that, he continually had a fear he could be influencing the outcome of events in a negative direction. What he wanted to know how to deal with and eliminate this types of negative attitudes and thinking.

Most people have had this type of thing happen along their path in life. It is not a unique circumstance. What makes it feel unique is you do not want to talk about it. It is uncomfortable. You may feel exposed, even though the thoughts are not the thoughts you want or choose to have.

Terrible Thoughts

Do you find yourself thinking about terrible things happening to you or to people around you? Events that people often think about are car crashes, tragedy, murders, and catastrophe. Many of these events will involve people they love, friends, family, and enemies. Even harming themselves does not escape this picture. Why?

Why Think Tragic Thoughts?

To answer that, we must look at some other issues first. If a person is occasionally or even constantly thinking about harm coming to people, results can be benign to dangerous. The personality of most people afflicted by such will have a lower self esteem and a degraded sense of self-worth. Maybe they want to rebel against all those perceived people that have kept them in their position of want. Maybe they feel it is the only way they can rebel without doing anything physically in the real world. Quite often this results in anxiety and depression.

What if the person experiencing these automated thoughts is not a negatively driven person (has a list of negative attitudes), and doesn’t have any reason to have such terrible deep thoughts on life? Even though they don’t think the events will happen, and hope they will not happen, it is the terrible possibility that they could happen. That is why it can be a very scary situation they are dealing with. You could imagine that same person not wanting to seek professional help, or telling someone about it, in case it did come true.

The worst case scenario happens when someone having these thoughts of retribution carry them through with a real action. It could be the person has been stressed out and depressed. Since a major portion of the population is taking anti-depressants, serotonin uptake inhibitors, and both legal and illegal drugs, it is quite common that there are plenty of problems already. When compounded with sudden thoughts of dire events, the results you could expect from the normal person can swing to the extreme, even hallucinations the ‘thought of’ event is actually happening, while they are in the middle of it all. It reminds me of post-traumatic stress disorder war veterans’ experience. Even sudden changes in psychotropic drugs can turn an ordinary person psychotic or suicidal.

The Smoking Gun

Common sense would suggest that there must be some way these errant thoughts must be getting into your mind in the first place. Most people that typically would not have negative thoughts, or don’t want to think about things like that, would not be thinking about them unless there was some type of common demonstration or platform where they had witnessed those types of occurrences.

Have you noticed the incredible amount of grotesque murders, mutilations, and heinous crimes that are shown on television? The spectacular number of police and CSI shows abound. As the roast beef and turkey is sliced up during the family meal, cadavers on the mortuary slab are being cut apart in the background. (Remember, even when it is in the background, your brain automatically takes it and stores it with all of its gory detail, to access later.)

Your Mental Abuse – It is All About Money

Hollywood has created a staggering number of tragedy movies and shows like never before; too many to fill the slots after the kiddies go off to bed. These thrillers are prime time! If you visit a friend, and you see the television ON, with a cop show, ask to turn it OFF while you have your conversation. More than likely you will be the one getting the ‘if looks could kill’ look.

Now, back to the question: Why, would people be capable of these random terrible thoughts when they are not terrible people? More to the point, where are the thoughts coming from in the first place? The most obvious answer is the television. Sure, there is other types of media, but none have the impact of television. Since television is the most observed form of media, it also runs first place here as well.

The bigger question is, “What should you do about it?” Start by changing the channel, if that doesn’t work because they all have negatively geared shows, then learn to use the one button some people never touch – the “OFF” button. Find something more constructive to do with your time.

“An idle mind is the devil’s workshop” – Old English Proverb

Prologue:

I sincerely hope the client finds peace within his mind someday. Using our methods of finding direction in life should make his task easier. Discipline and meditation are the keys to knowing yourself and knowing what outside influences may be getting in the way of creating the best life for yourself.

Self Applied Guilt

Guilt is a very powerful device when it is associated with something you have done of your own accord. But guilt is a terrible thing when it is associated with contrived events that don’t exist. Since this guilt has no base except for your beliefs, it is more difficult to eradicate that sense of unfounded guilt. If you find this is holding you back in life, then you may need to seek counsel with someone you trust or a professional.

We want to see everyone move forward in life in a positive way. That also means you need to address the things that are holding you back from being your best. When you build a strong foundation of discipline and mental alacrity, then you can handle much more of the onslaught than the person that is mentally apathetic. Come out of self applied guilt!

If You Are Happy With Your Life, … Please Disregard

Wanted: 100 People for Change

(If You are completely happy with your life, don’t waste your time reading this.)

I am looking for 100 people that are unhappy with their life, AND are willing to do anything it takes to make it better.

◊ Would you… cover yourself in honey and stand in front of a bees nest?

◊ Would you… jump out of an airplane with a parachute you made yourself, from scratch?

◊ Would you… stand naked in front of the Empire State Building singing the national anthem of a foreign country?

The most outrageous thing is some people would actually do these things if they thought it would improve their life.

By now, you must be thinking this guy is out of his mind! No, I am actually quite sane. I have been watching people for over 25 years make positive changes to their life, without ever doing anything so risky as the examples above.

Change – What is it all about?

As an oblique overview, there are several things that should be considered about change.

◊ Change happens everywhere at all times.

◊ Change involves us, whether we want it or not.

◊ Change is a fact of Life. Get used to it.

◊ Change can be influenced in what direction it takes, by you.

Change – How can I Influence it?

To influence positive change to take place in and around your life, you must strengthen a few basic building blocks.

Mental Discipline – Take steps to exercise and strengthen your brain and mind. Your mental capabilities are so far beyond what you do currently; you cannot even fathom what you are capable of achieving. Disciplining your mind starts with a commitment. It is always easier to make a commitment when you base it on a goal. For the sake of this exercise, let’s assume your goal is “for you to directly influence change”. When you are taking up a discipline, usually there will be exercises the strengthen you mind in some fashion. Most of the exercises will have something to do with enhancing your senses. By taking steps to enhance your senses, you are building structure. Some of that structure may be new, previously untapped.

Changes to your physical senses

Visual Creativity – Visualization is a typical exercise. Using your mind to create, you are visualizing a picture of your own making. You can even add other senses to the picture, to make it more real.

Auditory creativity can be enhanced by the use of a blindfold. This limits the sensory input from vision, which is the most common way we get information. Your attention to this sense will act like an amplifier to even the slightest sound. You can hear a pin dropped, as it hits the floor.

Olfactory creativity should also be done with a blindfold, but is not a requirement. The idea again is to create a circumstance where you are presented many different scents. From those scents, you start to tell where they originate from. From that type of input, you can make many assumptions about your immediate environment.

Taste is another scent you can enhance. The easiest way to do this is to eat food that you are not accustomed to eating. Most people fall into a routine of only eating certain things. That limits the range of flavours that you are experiencing. Another way of experiencing more flavours is to travel. When you travel, you must eat the food someone else has prepared for you. Some regions have rather peculiar flavours in what the locals deem as the right taste.

Last of the physical senses, Touch can be re-educated to take a more prominent place. There are varying degrees of hard or soft, hot, warm, or cold, or many other types of touch. In an ancient stimulating method of Kama-Sutra, you would traverse various types of touch that are dedicated to create a pleasurable experience. Some people may chose to use pain as a reference point to why some things feel good, while others feel bad.

All of these are dealing directly and consciously with your senses. You may even chose to combine some of these in a single event for your own purposes. An example of this would be: In a Monty Python’s Flying Circus Skit, comedians get slapped in the face with a dead fish. That would combine a few different techniques mentioned here.

Brain Strengthening for Making Change

There are many techniques “out there” That claim they make your brain stronger. But most of those only give you a temporary fix that wears off when not in use. You want something that has a lasting effect; something that will be there for you throughout the rest of your life. What you really want is something that stimulates Brain Plasticity to create new dendrites (Your memory storage), grow new connections, and strengthen your old connections (neurons). That takes something very unique. Those can only be done when you push your brain in such a way to activate the production of brain cells and dendrites. The one thing we know does all those things is Mental Photography, or ZOXing.

Change Depends on Your Ability to Make Decisions

Superior information gives you superior decision making results. When we need to make a decision, especially one in uncharted waters, then we need good QUALITY information, fast. But what are we left with. As the old saying goes, when you “read” information SLOWLY, It is like pushing a camel through the eye of a needle. It takes much time and effort. But there is another way to take in information that sounds so far-fetched, that people often think it is too good to be true. The method we are talking about gives you no less than 25,000 words per minute with 100% retention of that same information for life.

IMPOSSIBLE!

The truth is you have already done this when you were young, because you were born that way. It is also the way you learned so very much in the first few years of your life. Along the way, you allowed yourself to be taught away from using it. You had no idea what you were giving up, because you had nothing else to compare it to at that young and impressionable age. So, what is the magic now? Again, it is Mental Photography, or ZOXing.

Do You Really Want To Change?

Do you want to change your life without severe risk taking; like covering yourself with honey for a bee-fest, sky diving with a home-made parachute , or being very cold and naked in the middle of New York City encouraging people to tar and feather you, or worst, or something just as extreme?

If you answered YES!, then you owe it to yourself to seriously consider it. To get the best details, please visit ZOX Pro Training at www.ZOXpro.com

Have a Great Life!

Happy Clients Give Great Testimonials – Thank You

A Very Happy Satisfied Client Writes…

Thank you so much for everything, I have learned so much in my journey and it´s only getting better and better. Your insights are of tremendous value and without it I wouldn´t have this acceleration. I would have never imagined that it would be possible to change beliefs on the fly.

Amazing!

Here are a few of the gains I have made over this short time since doing the training:

Increase in confidence

A significant increase in how I handle issues that life’s throws at me, I have the tools that allow me get out of the role of being a victim. My internal voice is not sabotaging me as much as it did in the past, matter of fact it´s quiet most of the time.

Loving myself

It increased my self-esteem. During that process I let go of guilt and resentment towards other people. I let go of the guilt I had stored unconsciously.

Restored balance in my own family

I projected my own insecurities on the people whom I actually hold very close and I have realized how my behavior has impacted them and their life. Thanks to programming I restored my relationships in an accelerated manner.

Appreciation of what I have in my life

Each programming session I state 10 things that I am grateful for, ranging from money, to family, friendships and personal growth. As a result I feel more positive and happy!

Mental Clarity

I experience increased clarity of what I want to achieve, and my purpose in life.

Law of Attraction

I was a skeptic initially. I have opened doors that otherwise wouldn´t be visible. This also includes the lessons I learned if and when you don´t follow the guidelines. The lesson I learned was pertaining to “claiming good to all concerned”, I programmed to get accepted at a university, which rejected me before, and on the phone I got told that it wouldn´t be possible. Manipulating the Law of Attraction without the safeguards in place made sure I got accepted at the university, but due to neglecting “claiming good to all concerned” I got unpleasant surprises that came along with it.

Many programs set for automatic gains

I bought a goal setting book (the type with the fancy leather cover), which I divided in several areas of interest. My personal growth goals have been set on an “automatic” development; I am able to cross out a lot of them.

Problems solved

Used with problem solving, the technique has solved obstacles in accelerated ways I never expected.

Increased awareness and intuition

I now have increased access to my intuition, hindsight, foresight, insight and epiphanies. This has been a tremendous aid in my life and has supported me in my intellectual pursuits, reflections, decision making, marshalling resources, and making explorations. I am currently still looking to deepen that further. I know that it is all possible.

Mental Connectivity

My ability to make faster connections has increased significantly as a result my intellectual pursuits.

Beliefs

This training has made me realize the importance of beliefs and how they impact my creation of my own reality.

Please use my experiences here to get the word out to the rest of the world. I would never have believed how much 1 training could help me so much, in so many ways. I needed it. It has helped me to find my true self, empowered me, and has improved my life in so many ways. Everyone should be doing your training, without exception.

Thank You for teaching me how to find the truth.

A. A.

After that, there is not much left for me to say, except thank you!

Invention, Prediction, and The Power of the Mind – REVISITED

Shannon Panzo Leave a comment

I am sure that some of you remember this article:

Invention, Prediction, and The Power of the Mind Over Matter

If you do not remember the content of that article, then please go over it again to get the story. This article is a followup to that article.

In the previous article, as a practical exercise in lateral thinking, I came up with what I believed to be a superior design for a frying pan surface. These frying pans that I am about to tell you about are remarkable. They do not fit the design I proposed in the previous article, but the functionality is very close to me design specifications. I would like to think that I played some part in the invention of this idea, but I don’t think they would tell me if I did.

After I wrote the first article my quest began. The search for the perfect fry pan; or as perfect as current reality allows for.

In my search, I was able to find one pan that is chemically engineered far SUPERIOR to any Teflon based pan. The temperature that this coating (Neolon) starts to break down is ~450 degrees Celsius. Higher than you would ever go with a pan. They make all different shapes and sizes, including woks. Their scratch resistance is so much higher than Teflon, the pan is likely to outlast you. (No, it is NOT called a “rock”. … a joke.)

Neoflam / Ecolon Pros and Cons:

The pans look retro-1970s

They say to use rice oil. First fry – sticking. Second fry and more – Stick free.

The problem in the instructions – thoroughly wash with soap in between use. (What restaurant does that? The pan stays hot all day!)

DO not use olive oil for frying – more carcinogens at high temps. but great for cold food like salads.

Made in Korea, but world-wide distribution.

They say you can use metal on the surface. We mostly have wood and plastic from the Teflon disappointments, so we use those anyhow. We have also seen the pans after people use metal utensils on them. They did not leave a scratch in the surface.

More specifically with regards to any sticking. I find it mostly occurs when the food is pressed through the oil to the surface. If you place the food in, on top of the oil layer, then using the cover, it cooks up without sticking.

If you find your pan has a buildup, because you attempted to season it, or not cleaning the pan in between, then we found the best cleaner is a product called “Gumption” to bring the surface back around. If you do not have that product, then I recommend about a teaspoon of salt. Salt is a crystal that acts as an abrasive. Someone recommended baking soda. That did not turn out so good. It stuck like crazy after cleaning it with baking soda. That may work well for some pans, but not for these.

I have found the best remedy to keep it non stick, is to scrape the pan of any debris that has stuck in the least to the surface, while it is STILL HOT. Using a wooden or bamboo spatula allows you to put some muscle into it.

We are classifying this pan as the Best pan ever. The price is reasonable. I have tossed more expensive pans into the trash.

Brand name is “NEOFLAM”

If you would like more information on these pans, CLICK on this link:

It is a lot of fun introducing you to new ideas.
