DO YOU KNOW THAT....

While going through a local newspaper, i came across an article explaining how exposure to too much light at night may cause depression. Ohio state university researchers found that mice kept in a lighted room 24hours a day had more depressive symptoms than that had a normal day night cycle. The inability to escape light seemed to quell the depressive effects. The findings indicate the need to learn more about how artificial light affects humans. Therefore the increasing rate of depressive disorders in humans corresponds with the increasing use of light at night in moderated society. Many are now exposed to unnatural light cycles and that may have real consequence for our health.

IDEAS FOR MANAGING ANGER AND DEPRESSION

Anger is an emotion that is as natural as any other; it has a tendency to eataway at the soul of the person who does not understand its role in their lives. Yes, anger does have its place and everyone will experience it. In fact, this emotion is highly beneficial to us at times. However, you do yourself a grave disservice by remaining angry. Holding onto anger until it becomes bitter resentment is a fail-safe way to disallow the benefits of Law of Attraction.
Your anger is not harming the person to whom it is directed. In fact, many people spend decades being angry with someone who barely (if at all) remembers the event that caused the anger. That person’s life will not be changed by your anger, but yours will.
By not overcoming what you think and feel about the circumstances surrounding your anger, you give up your own power. You hold yourself in a state of mind that is not in alignment with your life purpose.

The key question: Are they worth it? Are the people who have wronged you worth the price that you are paying? Keep reading if the answer is no.
Anger has its place.
One thing to remember is that anger is a useful emotion that has its place in our lives. Don’t be afraid to follow your Inner Guidance when you are being called from a state of depression to one of anger.
Depression, which often results from repressed anger, is actually anger in a new form. It is anger turned inwards. And that is the worst thing that you could do to yourself. So, allow yourself to feel anger, hatred, or even rage for a short while. Draw pictures of the person and scratch their eyes out if you feel like it. Scream, yell, cry, or jump up and down. Have an angry pillow fight with your sofa. Do whatever you must do to honor and validate your own feelings, but plan to move on for your own benefit.
Forgiveness is the answer.
Many people refuse to forgive because they feel that the other person does not deserve it. They hold a grudge as if it is somehow paying back the person with whom they are angry. However, forgiveness is not for the other person. You must let go and forgive so that you may live out your life purpose. Yes, you also have the ability to spend your entire life being angry, but this choice will create life experiences that are not in harmony with what you want.
“To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.” – Lewis Smedes
It is not what they did, but what you think about what they did. Your feelings are not the result of anything outside of yourself, so do not hold anyone else responsible for them. The way that you feel is always a reflection of what you are thinking. No matter what has happened, you remain in control of your reality. You are empowered to practice the art of allowing by releasing resistant thoughts and letting law of attraction deliver your ideal life. However, you are equally empowered to remain angry, thus using undesirable circumstances as an excuse to disallow the joyful life that is your birthright.

Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.”- Buddha
If you allow angry thoughts to rankle in your mind, realize that you are the one creating your misery. Also realize that you are fully empowered to change it when you are ready. You owe it to yourself to have thoughts that summon law of attraction in a non-resistant way, thus creating the life of your dreams.
“For every minute you are angry you lose sixty seconds of happiness.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson

IS UNIVERSAL LWA OF ATTRACTION FOR LAZY PEOPLE?

I read some feedback in an online group from a person who believed that the Law of Attraction teaches laziness. After all, they reasoned, there is no reason to actually do anything if you can truly be, do, and have whatever you want simply by thinking of it. So does that mean that we can all sit around thinking without taking action? Absolutely not!

The movie “The Secret” is one of many sources that introduce the Law of Attraction to the masses; however, it left many people with an oversimplified explanation of this Universal Law. If you don’t continue seeking to understand Law of Attraction once you’ve been introduced to it, you may indeed have misconceptions such as this one about negating action.
The problem for many people is that they try to make everything happen through their action alone.

9 TIPS ON TIME MANAGEMENT.

Many small businesses IN NIGERIA find themselves stretched for time in an economy that requires businesses to do more with less to stay competitive. That’s why it’s wise for entrepreneurs to develop good time management habits so that everything that needs to be done gets done.

Here are 9 time management tips to help you work smarter and use your time wisely.
1. Buy a week-at-a-glance appointment book and use it religiously. Write everything that you need to accomplish in this book. This book is your brain!
2. Differentiate between the urgent and the vital. The urgent may be making a lot of noise to get your attention, but it is rarely vital that it be done right now or at all.“The vital task rarely needs to be done today. The urgent task calls for instant action. The momentary appeal of these tasks seems irresistible, and they devour our energy. With a sense of loss we recall the vital tasks we pushed aside. We realize that we have become slaves to the tyranny of the urgent.” –Charles Hummel
3. The key is not to prioritize what is on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.
4. Keep track of your time by 15 minute increments for 2 weeks to see how you actually spend your time.
5. Say “no” to the project, not the person. You cannot do everything everyone asks you to do.
6. Learn how to effectively delegate. This means picking the right person, giving clear directions, setting benchmark and due dates, and then letting them do it.
7. Procrastination has a lot of different causes: fear, boredom, perfectionism, an overwhelming task and unclear goals. Identify the reason behind procrastination, so you are solving the right problem when dealing with it.
8. Set goals. They help you prioritize your activities and let you know that you have succeeded.
9. There are 1,440 minutes in a day and 29020 days in an 80 year lifetime. Take control of your time and make this year the year you do what you want.
