8 Toxic Personalities to Avoid

Although we like to think that the people in our lives are well-adjusted, happy, healthy minded individuals, we sometimes realize that it just isn't so. Personally, I've had moments where I'll be skipping through my day, happy as can be, thinking life is grand and BAM, I'll be blindsided by someone who manages to knock the happy wind out of my sails. Sometimes it is easy to write it off and other times, not so much. . Maybe you are a positive person, but when you are around a certain individual, you feel negative. Or, maybe you have an idealistic view of the world and when you are with certain people, you are made to feel silly, unrealistic or delusional. Or, maybe you pride yourself in being completely independent and in control of your life, but when you are around a certain family member, you regress into a state of childhood. . Some of these situations, and yes, these people, can have a tremendously negative impact on our lives. And, although we are all human and ha

There is ONLY NOW

Time doesn't really exist - it's just an idea. The past is an idea (called a memory) and the future's an idea too (called a plan or a fantasy). The present is all that exists, but that's OK, because that's where you are at present. Stop for a minute and allow yourself to get in touch with this moment. Whenever you've accomplished anything worthwhile, it's been in the present. All your moments of tremendous insight have also taken place in the present. As you think of all the experiences of great pleasure you've had in your life, when they happened, it was now. This is why today is practice for tomorrow - because our neurology always thinks it's now! So what 'now' are you getting more familiar with? What now are you practicing. By the way, 99.9% of fears relate to either the past or the future. As the past and future don't exist, you can relax; there's nothing to fear. There is only now. ___________________ Forwarded by Jamie You can

When Your Hut's On Fire

The only survivor of a shipwreck was washed up on a small, uninhabited island. He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him. Every day he scanned the horizon for help, but none seemed forthcoming. Exhausted, he eventually managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements, and to store his few possessions. . One day, after scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, with smoke rolling up to the sky. He felt the worst had happened, and everything was lost. He was stunned with disbelief, grief, and anger.. He cried out, 'God! How could you do this to me?' Early the next day, he was awakened by the sound of a ship approaching the island! It had come to rescue him! 'How did you know I was here?' asked the weary man of his rescuers. 'We saw your smoke signal,' they replied. . The Moral of This Story: It's easy to get discouraged when things are going bad, but we shouldn't lose heart, because God is at work

You can't DO a DON'T

You can't do a don't. The human nervous system is 'goal-seeking' and will always tend to organise around a specific result or set of results ( this is one reason why goal-setting can be a powerful tool ). Another powerful tool is language , both for communicating with others and with ourselves. However, there is a quirk of neurology and the way that language interacts with the human nervous system, and knowing about this is essential. Negatives are not processed by the nervous system in the same way that they are linguistically ( eg. The command "Don't think of a purple hippopotamus" is difficult to obey .) You can't do a don't. It is therefore most effective to state any desired outcome or direction in the positive. While you may have a desire to stop being poor, single or unhealthy, it's not helpful to express your desire in that way ( ie. in terms of what you don't want ). It is much more helpful to express your desire in term s of w

ME and MY BOSS

When I Take a long time to finish, I am slow, When my boss takes a long time, he is thorough When I don't do it, I am lazy, When my boss does not do it, he is busy, When I do something without being told, I am trying to be smart, When my boss does the same, he takes the initiative, When I please my boss, I am apple polishing, When my boss pleases his boss, He is cooperating, When I make a mistake, I' am an idiot. When my boss makes a mistake, He's only human. When I am out of the office, I am wondering around. When my boss is out of the office, He's on business. When I am on a day off sick, I am always sick. When my boss is a day off sick, He must be very ill. When I apply for leave, I must be going for an interview . When my boss applies for leave, it's because he's overworked When I do good, my boss never remembers, When I do wrong, he never forgets what to do????????????? ______________________ FORWARDED by ERIKA GARCIA

LIPSTICK INFORMATION

Something to consider next time you go shopping for Lipstick..... This comes from someone who works in the Breast Cancer unit at Mt. Sinai Hospital , in Toronto. From: Dr. Nahid Neman ___ Recently a lipstick brand called 'Red Earth' Decreased their prices from $67 to $9.90. It contained lead. Lead is a chemical which causes cancer. The lipstick brands that contain lead are: CHRISTIAN DIOR LANCÔME CLINIQUE Y.S.L ESTEE LAUDER SHISEIDO RED EARTH (Lip Gloss) CHANEL (Lip Conditioner) MARKET AMERICA-MOTNES LIPSTICK. The higher the lead content, the greater the chance of causing cancer. After doing a test on lipsticks, it was found that the Y.S.L. Lipstick contained the most amount of lead... Watch out for those lipsticks which are supposed to stay longer. If your lipstick stays longer, it is because of the higher content of lead. Here is the test you can do yourself: 1. Put some lipstick on your hand. 2. Use a Gold ring to scratch on the lipstick. 3. If the lipstick colour ch

Why Breast Cancer Is Usually Found Near The Armpit?

Some time ago, I attended a Breast Cancer Awareness seminar. I asked why the most common area for Breast Cancer was near the armpit. My question could not be answered at that time. This email was just sent to me, and I find it interesting that my question has been answered. I challenge you all to rethink your every day use of a product that could ultimately lead to a terminal illness. As of today, I will change my usage. A friend forwarded this to me. I showed it to a friend going through chemotherapy and she said she learned this fact in a support group recently. I just got information from a health seminar that I would like to share. The leading cause of breast cancer is the use of anti-perspirant. What? A concentration of toxins which leads to cell mutations, a.k.a.CANCER. Yes, ANTI-PERSPIRANT. Most of the products out there are an anti-perspirant /deodorant combination, so go home and check. Deodorant is fine, anti-perspirant is not. Here's why:- The human body has
