The Quitting Zone

Filed under:Management & More — posted on December 31, 2007 @ 3:10 pm

Have you ever had a goal, worked really hard to achieve it, persevered through the ups and downs along the way, and then at some stage it all seems too hard and you doubt whether you will ever achieve the goal and so you give up?

This is “The Quitting Zone”.

The funny thing about The Quitting Zone is that it almost always occurs just before you will succeed. The difficulty is that you cannot see that success is close … hence why quitting seems like a great option at that point.

The Quitting Zone is a very common stage people go through when striving to achieve a challenging goal - so how do you pass through the Quitting Zone and get to the other side?

* Re-clarify - Take time out to remind yourself why you want to achieve the goal … what will be the positive impact. How much do you want it?

* Don’t fight it - If we accept that The Quitting Zone is a natural phase then there is no need to struggle with it. Choose to pass through with ease. Know that this is temporary and your journey WILL get easier again.

* Celebrate - Take time to celebrate how far you have come. The Quitting Zone is so tempting because we usually forget how much we have already achieved. Write down what you have already accomplished, what obstacles you have overcome and use these to fuel your confidence as you make the last steps towards success.

* Engage Support - Seek out friends, family, a work colleague, mentor or life coach. When things feel tough, it’s essential to have other people to give you encouragement and to help you keep focused on the ultimate outcome.

* Keep Moving Forward - One step at a time. Before you know it you will have passed right through The Quitting Zone.

Image Consultants - Can Help You Look Slimmer Instantly!

Filed under:Hall Of Medical Resources — posted on @ 2:49 pm

While eating the correct diet is the longer term solution to looking thinner,you can look slimmer instantly simply by
careful selection of the clothes you wear.

Image conusltants can help you do this making you look and feel better instantly.

In today’s image conscious society, image consultants are more popular than ever, and are no longer just for the rich.

Follow the 12 simple guidelines below and lose a few kilos instantly!

1. Focus on one color

Monochromatic dressing (dressing in one color only) makes anyone look taller, slimmer and leaner.

2. Use darker colors

Darker colors make you look slimmer than lighter colours. Black and blue for example, are great colours to use for most people.

3. Colour intensity

If you are wearing multiple colours keep them close in intensity. For example, dark blue and black or stone and soft white.

4. Wear darker colours at the bottom

Use the darker colour at the bottom of your outfit to make you look taller and your hips appear slimmer.

5. Wear heels

Wearing medium or high heels with a thin sole automatically makes your legs look longer and you look slimmer.

6. Long slimmer legs

Legs will look longer and slimmer if you always closely match your hoise to your shoes and skirts. For example, with a print skirt, use the background colour to find hoise in a similar tone.

7. Hosiery

Always wear a neutral colour hose or match your hosiery to the lighter colour in the shoes. Never wear hose that are darker than the lightest colour in the shoes

8. Don’t bisect a fuller figure

Choose a longer jacket or blouse, and wear it untucked. This will give a leaner look, and deflects attention away from the waistline.

9. Beware of heavy fabrics

Never wear clothes made out of heavy fabrics, they make you look fatter. Always choose finer, silkier thin materials.

10. Wear clothes that fit

Buy clothing that FIT. Don’t try and squeeze into a size 12 if you are a size 14. This may seem obvious, but there are plenty of women who get hung up on size and won’t accept the size they really are.

11. Vertical design lines

Always make you look slimmer. Single breasted jackets, stripes and ironed creases in trousers will visually slim your body by dividing it into vertical sections, the closer the lines the slimmer you will appear.

12. Wear clothes that balance your horizontal & vertical proportions

You will always appear slimmer if you balance your vertical and horizontal proportions. For example, a woman who has long body and short legs can theoretically wear a short jacket; however, if she has a large breast her jacket should be at least hip length to take attention away from her breasts. By wearing clothes that are in proportion to your figure will always make you look slimmer.

Image consultants can change your life!

The above are just some examples of how image consultants can help you change your appearance for the better.

In todays image conscious society more and more people are realizing that by changing their appearance they will derive more from life.

Why appearance is so important

It is a well known fact that people subconsciously form an opinion about whom they first meet within 30 seconds.

How people perceive you is therefore vital in deriving the maximum from both your life and career.

Look and feel better instantly!

Today’s image consultants provide a wide range of services all designed to make you maximize your appearance and make you look your best.

Fantasy Football Success: Three Basic Rules

Filed under:Sports News + More — posted on @ 2:26 pm

You can search the Internet or the newsstands in June and July, and you’ll find a wealth of information about fantasy football and fantasy football leagues. Most of it is statistics. Miles and miles of statistics. And most sites and magazines claim to offer more than all the others. What few offer, though, is sound advice on how to be successful every year. So, visit all the sites and magazines for your stats, but search no more for the secret to winning, because here it is.

I have played in extremely competitive fantasy football leagues for 15 years. I’ve missed the playoffs only twice, and I’ve been to three fantasy bowls. I won more games and scored more points than any other team in my league’s history. Now, I’ll give you my strategy, and it won’t cost you a dime. Here is the three-step formula for winning in fantasy football year in and year out.

The first step is to draft for depth. It sounds easy enough, but many people in my league focus on getting their starters, and the rest of the draft is nothing more than throwing darts at names on a stat sheet. I’ve selected players beyond the seventh round (we have 14 rounds) who have led my team in scoring. I didn’t even have them targeted as starters; I just saw the potential, through all of the research I’d done. For example, take special notice of second and third-year wide receivers. They often go overlooked, because their numbers are not spectacular. Receivers take a year or two, before they adjust to the NFL. Chad Johnson is a great example. Also, watch for rookies who may explode late in the season, once they’ve grasped a system. Lee Evans was a star after week nine this past season.

Step two is to manage your team every week, down to the most minor details. If you’ve drafted for depth, you’ll have lineup decisions every week, because you’ll have a team full of players scoring points. Check their histories against weekly opponents (a vastly overlooked strategy by novices). Some players simply flourish against particular teams, just as some teams tend to score differently against certain defenses. This can definitely affect your weekly lineup decisions.

The third step is to watch the waiver wire and make two key trades. No matter how well you’ve drafted, near the end of the season, you’ll need to make changes. It’s time to trade away your depth for stars. Also, watch for available players to pick up — even if they may only help you for one week. I drafted both Domanick Davis and Chad Johnson last season. Later, I traded both, so I could acquire LaDanian Tomlinson. This simplified my weekly lineup decisions, while giving me a player who would score at least one TD every week.

If you stick to this simple formula, no matter what type of league you play in, you’ll make the playoffs 85 to 90 percent of the time. That’s not bad in any league.

Beagle: Is it the Breed for You?

Filed under:Pets — posted on @ 12:16 pm

The purpose of this article is to improve the public’s knowledge about dogs, the Beagle in particular. Many people decide that they want a dog based off of appearance alone. While this may not be a terrible thing to do if the person has the ability to accommodate all types of dogs, for some individuals the care for specific types of dog breeds is not possible. The best way to avoid any surprises after the adopting or purchase of a dog is to understand the breed and what it takes to care for it. We will go over some of the basic characteristics of the Beagle to help you get a better understanding of the Beagle as a breed and possibly a new addition to your family.

The Beagle is a perfect companion for an active family. They make great members of a team. Though they are a little more difficult to house train than other breeds and not always very interested in learning training commands, the Beagle is a low maintenance, clean dog that will live to a ripe old age. At about 20lbs and 16 inches tall, this super friendly, giving, stubborn, energetic breed is a fantastic family companion.

We hope that we have assisted you I your quest for knowledge and understanding of the Beagle. Please look below for some additional resources. The first thing you will want to do is see what the Beagle looks like. The next thing you will need to do is house train your Beagle. We find that one of the most common reasons that someone will get rid of Beagle’s is that they are not house trained. There is a wonderful manual that can be used and you will find the link below. Lastly we want you to show off your new Beagle. There is a wonderful online dog community complete with a forum for you to post pictures to. Check it out.

The key to success is to love your Beagle and nothing will help you achieve that more than bonding with them. Spend time with your Beagle and make them a happy and healthy addition to your family.

Dog House Training is important for your Beagle. Look at Dog Pictures and send in your own. Talk with fellow Beagle owners in our Dog Forum.

Foreign Language Software - Learning Method Breakthrough

Filed under:The Software Way — posted on @ 12:11 pm

Everyone is now affected by the information age, and the extensive benefits seen through internet, cell phone, and other communication usage. Connectivity has allowed business to span the globe at an unprecidented rate. It has become increasingly easy for people to connect with one another on a whim. The connection is the easy part; why should language be a barrier?

Communicating with others that speak another language can be very cumbersome, unproductive, and increasingly frustrating. Although you may have information to share, or business to conduct, you are unable to clearly communicate.

The most effective tool in communication is language, and those able to speak to others in their native tongue are at a huge advantage. The amount of information that can be shared by people speaking the same language, and with communication tools at their disposal, is staggering.

Many individuals perceive learning a new language as a major task, but this belief is somewhat unfounded. With the correct tools, structure, and guidance learning a new language can be fun and rewarding.

Turbo Language LLC. has conquered the challenges presented when teaching a new language. After extensive testing, the method preferred by Turbo Language is a flashcard based learning style focusing primarily on vocabulary and phrase building. The unproductive and distracting animations and games associated with most language programs are a thing of the past.

For individuals or groups interested in enriching their lives and increasing their business worth, Turbo language is essential. The product benefits are many, including ease of use, concise teaching, portability, and affordability. Language software ranges from $30.00 to over $700.00, and Turbo Language being priced at $49.95 provides anyone interested in bettering themselves an opportunity impossible to ignore.

Having been in the industry for some time now, I am very impressed by this product’s ability to teach anyone interested in investing approximately 2 hours per week. Do yourself a favor, and visit Turbo Language to download your copy today!
