The Secret Law of Attraction, Depression & Focus

Depression and Focus

Depression will be my topic for today and its effects on the decision making process; and focus and its relationship to the Secret Law of Attraction. In my another article, I discussed gaining Clarity and the decision making process.

Let’s recap:

“The Law of Attraction is based on ‘sympathetic vibration‘ and anything that disrupts this flow of energy, will cause the flow to stop. If a person is clear of inhibitions and beliefs that throw a wrench into the gears, then the opportunity to achieve the preferred outcome is much better.”

One of the things that can disrupt the flow of energy is depression and the use of anti-depressants. It’s a sad fact, but many people take anti-depressants to help them get through the day. However, Anti-depressants are not really focused to your problem or tuned to your brain and they may cause changes in other areas of your life.

The results of anti-depressants on your depression issues vary depending on the issues you experience and your tolerance to the side effects – there is always a trade off. For example: Let’s assume, you want to overcome depression so you are given anti depressants to counter the constant exhaustion you are feeling at work, and the upheaval this causes at home. You start feeling better and you start being out of your depression – you’re more agreeable in the work place, you’re getting along with your partner and your libido ramps up… sounds great doesn’t it? However, despite the increased libido, you just can’t perform in bed – it’s like a switch has been turned off. That’s what I mean by a trade-off – some parts of your life improve, but others will be affected.

Did you realize that what you are eating & drinking may have an effect on the depression you experience particularly drugs, alcohol and even caffeine? Studies on Attention Deficit Disorder & Hyperactivity have also shown that foods with additives, sugars and artificial colors and sweeteners all have adverse effects on normally healthy people.

Stop now and consider how what you are eating and drinking may be affecting you. Clearing depression from your mind and body is a key to help you make good decisions in your life and tap into the Law of Attraction.

Focus and Resolve Depression

Once you’ve addressed what you eat and drink as it might be the ones that cause depression, you need to focus so you can keep your eye on the prize. It’s important that you don’t let others or things bother you – develop your resolve.

Now, this is really where The Secret kicks in – most people don’t realize that you must participate to attract what you want in your life. The participation that I’m talking about is in the setup, and many feel that there is more energy required in the setup, than in the actual doing thus resolving depression. By setup, I mean developing Your Clarity.

Activating the Secret Law of Attraction needs attention. So, focus, be resolved in your depression and believe that you can do this.

Leave Your Poverty Mindset At The Door, With Brain Management

Shannon Panzo 4 comments

The quote “Success is NOT gauged on what you have gained, but by what you have given up” is limited. In the Law of Attraction, if you think you have given up (or lost) something along the way, you automatically attract whatever you were unfortunate (or fortunate) enough to lose back into your life. This includes a poverty mindset.

In understanding this, you can change how you view what you have lost (or given up) to ensure that you don’t re-attract it back into your life. One way you can do this, is to focus on being true to yourself, committed, resourceful, and passionate on your path of success. Isn’t it better to view those things you have given up, as making room for these values / attributes in your life? Certainly, leaving a poverty mindset behind and making room to be resourceful in generating more income is a great thing.

Like Losing an Old Friend…

Leaving a poverty consciousness behind is difficult; the subconscious mind is protecting you by keeping that poverty consciousness in place and until you address it, you will continually sabotage yourself in any effort to change your life.

Let’s think of the poverty mindset as an Old Friend that has been around forever. It is something you can rely on even though this friend brought their problems with them. This friend (mindset) is something you are comfortable with, and you have likely taken great pains to protect it against criticism and made excuses for it. Leaving this mindset behind feels like you are tossing that old friend onto the rubbish heap and not looking back.

Leaving our old friend behind can cause a lot of pain – but does it really have to be? If what you’re leaving behind allows you to make room for newer, more positive attributes – isn’t that a good thing?

Be Dedicated, Be Committed – Persevere

To truly leave your ‘unwanted’ baggage behind, you need to be dedicated, committed and simply persevere until you achieve what you are seeking.

Most of us understand what dedication and commitment mean and that the two are inextricably linked with each other however, we are often confused by what perseverance actually is. Perseverance is ‘sticking power’ – how long you stick at something, simply keep plugging away until you achieve your objective.

Perseverance is different for every one – it is based on your own values. How long you stick to your guns and decide what to give up, is completely up to you.

Perseverance can sometimes be called “The Fight”.

When you are engaged in “The Fight”, there could actually be no outcome – no winner, no loser. However, you should embrace all of the lessons you experience and become the better for them. This is where Brain Management comes into play – you can use these techniques to help you embed the lessons from your experiences in your subconscious.

Remember – when you eat an elephant, you eat it bite by bite… this is just what I mean by perseverance.

Passion vs. Drugs. You Have Unlimited Energy Stored Here!

Passion vs. Drugs

Your passion, and the need for drugs to handle depression

My definition of passion is that it is ‘a source of unlimited energy from your soul, or your spirit, or your heart that enables you to produce extraordinary results’.

Far too many people, research shows, are not pursuing their passion or doing what they love, or are not enthusiastic about their work. I love the etymology of ‘enthusiasm’: it comes from two Greek words, ‘en’ and ‘theos’, meaning ‘inside God’. When you are enthusiastic, you are similar to the mindset of God!

Published information from Governments around the world show that vast numbers of people are taking anti-depressant drugs, at huge cost to themselves, to their families, and to Governments that fund these drugs or fund health systems that have to deal with people suffering from depression- like symptoms.

Note that I did not say ‘depressed people’: this is a label that is thrown around far too often. There is a range of over 20 symptoms that lead one to conclude that depression is being experienced by a person, but it is a continuum along a combination of symptoms.

It is not black or white, depressed or not depressed!

Pursue Passion

I passionately believe that if more people were pursuing their passion in their work, and in their lives, the need for anti-depressant drugs would drop dramatically!

I believe that depression-like symptoms arise because human beings find their spirits being ‘depressed’, or ‘squashed’. They are not in touch with their spirit because they are ignoring their passions! They are ignoring what they love to do. They are ignoring the yearning of their spirits, their souls. This is a depressing thought in itself!

Anti-Depressants and Brain Chemistry

Through the passage of time, some people might presently need anti-depressants because their brain chemistry has been so damaged by depressive thoughts over the years that they cannot function without the drugs. I acknowledge this need, but it does not apply to most drug takers. Even for such people, weaning one’s self off the drugs simply takes longer than most.

Matt Ridley, in his wonderful book Genome, points out that our non-physical thoughts cause our genes to produce physical chemicals in our bodies. Depressive thoughts produce depressive chemicals.

If you are taking anti-depressant drugs, or you have family or friends who take them, then make the decision to discover and then pursue your passions. Your life is too precious and valuable to spend it doing anything that generates depression-like symptoms.

Find Your Passion… Find Your Way

My various articles on the Mind to Mind website will be a great start for you on this journey.

Mind to Mind and ZOX Pro Training are both processes that help you develop the mental toughness and resilience to improve your ability to be ever more disciplined in your behaviors.

Combat Post Holiday Depression – SMILE

Combat Depression – Smile!

Here you are again at the end of another year, and guess what? It always ends up the same way for you. Once the event is over, you are depressed. The air has been left out of your balloon; you are down in the dumps… Viva passé.

The lead-up to your event you have planned so much for, given so much energy towards, and looked forward to for so long has finally arrived… and is over. All the preparation, the anxiety that everything will turn out right, that everyone will “get along”. Ha! All the energy you have poured into creating the perfect event has left you flat in the aftermath.

Depressed

So, now you are depressed. Are you just going to stay depressed? Or are you going to do something about it?

Initiative

One of the easiest ways to pull yourself out of the doldrums is to give yourself a task that you can really sink your teeth into. When was the last time you did anything different, or new?

Paradigms

Look at your life; the routine of the things you do each day, the types of people you are around, the beliefs and opinions you support. All of those limit you in what is referred to your “paradigm”. Your paradigm is your version of reality; your “matrix”. Most people do not do anything different from day to day.

Carpe Diem!

Seize the day!

Time is of the essence. Time is too short to stay depressed. Do something different. Don’t hesitate. Experience something new. Learn something you never knew before. Meet some new people. Start right now. Make a list of 10 things you would like to do, that you would not normally do. Pick 1 or 2 of them and get started.

Results of your actions

It will make you feel great! Once you start accomplishing your new directions, you will get a good feeling; a feeling of self-worth and self-esteem. A feeling of “I am Alive!” You will feel better about yourself and the world you live in. Be prepared to leave your depression behind.

Are You Depressed?

Too many decisions …

If you are like most people, you must make too many decisions every day of your life. You feel overwhelmed from all of your carefully considered decisions.

Scientists have proven that if we have any more than 7 things to choose from, we go into overload, so by the time we go through the grocery store, we are in meltdown. They have even connected this to Clinical Depression.

For example; I will take you on a tour of what you can expect for simple decision making, starting at the beginning of your day. (Obviously, this really isn’t you because you would never do these things this way.)

The alarm goes off. Do you set your alarm for a “snooze”, and for how long? Do you just lie there a while? Do you get up ready to take on the day? Or do you turn over and go back to sleep? That was 5 decisions, and you haven’t even made it out of bed.

You decide to get up and get dressed. You go to the closet full of clothes and declare, “I have nothing to wear.” After deciding on a matching top and bottom with socks and shoes, you toss them back and decide to wear the same thing you had on yesterday. There goes another 5 or more decisions. For some people this one act could amount to hundreds of decisions.

You finally decide that is a good time to have a wholesome breakfast instead of the same old breakfast you have every day. You begin by deciding what ingredients you want for your breakfast. You pull them all out and get ready, … Then you decide it will take too long. So you put it all back and sit down to your usual bowl of gruel that you are accustomed to. Another 5 or more decisions.

DON’T LAUGH! You may be this person.

What happens when your routine breaks down and forces you to make new decisions? What if you are on your way to work (Well, at least you made it out of the house without being half naked.), you get into the car; you turn the key, and … nothing. Now you are faced with a whole new handful of decisions to make. You must decide what to do about getting to work, fixing the car, and many other decisions about things that contribute to your circumstances.

Confusion! You Bet!

With all the things swirling around in your head, you will think you are walking around in a fog. YOU ARE! This is the mental fog that is created by needing to make too many decisions; and it further obscures your ability to make “clear” decisions.

Sorry for giving you depressing news about someone’s depressing day. You can just go back to bed and forget it all until you wake back up. (Ooops, it’s still there.) Or today, you can decide to be proactive in an effort to clear those cobwebs from your mind.

Here are some ways of doing just that:

Meditation
Mental exercises that strengthen your mind and gives you focus
Giving your brain new information that it is not accustomed to. This creates a type of growth and change called neural-plasticity.

If you are serious about helping yourself crawl out of the miasma you have created then you owe it to yourself to consider what ZOX Pro Training offers. You know you need to do something different. You owe it to yourself and those you care about. They are affected by your decisions too.

Remember: Anything you want to change or improve requires information you currently do not have. You need essential information fast. We have your solution.
