My sentiments exactly!

This quotation sums up my ideas about the impact of words:

Keep your thoughts positive, because your thoughts become your words.
Keep your words positive, because your words become your behaviors.
Keep your behaviors positive, because your behaviors become your habits.
Keep your habits positive, because your habits become your values.
Keep your values positive, because your values become your destiny.

Hmmmm ... Very interesting!

Hypnotized by the World of Fluctuating Form

"Hypnotized by the world of fluctuating form." That's what most people are, according to Eckhart Tolle in his audiobook, A New Earth.

I have listened to it before, but it is packed with so many profound statements, I could listen to it several more times before I could possibly absorb and implement 10% of it.

I also learned today the 3 necessary ingredients for enlightenment:
1. Non-resistance--acceptance of what is.
2. Non-judgment--acceptance without judging something or labeling it "good" or "bad"
3. Non-attachment--accepting the impermanence of things

So much of what he says just leaves me speechless. I feel so inadequate to describe all the gems in this book. I guess you will just have to read it!

Take a Walk

I just read a few more articles about the benefits of walking.


I love this one: Your Walking Pace Can Make you Younger. Great title!!

And to reduce your risk of any type of cancer, adopt an active lifesyle. Also on Real Age:

And I also read an article today about centenarians. It seems many centenarians live on the second or third floor of an apartment building and guess what?! They take the STAIRS!

The idea is to get moving. And if you need help in starting such a salubrious habit, please call your local hypnotist. We help people find their motivation and take action.

Six degrees

Let's check out the this theory of Six Degrees of Separation!

If anyone knows anyone who knows Madonna, please let me know. I'd like to get her permission to use one of her songs as a theme song. The one that begins Deeper and Deeper and Sweeter and Sweeter, just screams HYPNOSIS to me, and with a few minor changes it is all about Falling in Trance....

I can't keep from falling in trance with you,
You know there's nothing better than I'd like to do...!

Verbal Impact 2

Positive funny quote for today: "The two most beautiful words in the English language are check enclosed." Dorothy Parker

I can't take credit for this, I received it in a newsletter from PositiveChristianity.org.

Happiness

You have it easily in your power to increase the sum total of this world's happiness now. How? By giving a few words of sincere appreciation to someone who is lonely or discouraged. - Dale Carnegie

This is about the power of words, in other words, verbal impact!

Humor

Because they had no reservations at a busy restaurant, my elderly neighbor and his wife were told there would be a 45-minute wait for a table.” Young man, we're both 90 years old,” the husband said, “We may not have 45 minutes.” They were seated immediately.


I just came across this joke. I wonder if there is some way I can work it into my Hypnotic Fountain of Youth workshop?
