How to Improve your life daily

Each day begins with a journey filled with choices

We can choose to be conscious of the choices or not and live mindfully of each action we take or not.

Mindful of the daily bridges we have to cross.

When we live mindfully we learn what is helping us move in the direction we want to move each day in our lives.

It is a wonderful feeling to be aware of what works in our lives.

Enjoy a wonderful day, David

Ten reasons why water is important for your Success and Wellness

water for health

After I started to drink water regularly. I personally saw an improvement in my mental clarity, focus, and energy level.

But do not believe me, instead, visit the world-famous  www.MayoClinic.com and search for information on actions you can take to help increase your mental clarity, focus, and concentration and do not be surprised you will find the suggestion: drink water.

It may seem obvious to you but to many people drinking water daily is not a common practice until a health issue arrives.  Consult with your Doctor and take note of the following TEN things water is used directly and indirectly in your body.

Number one

Water helps keep your lungs moist so you can breathe easier especially on hot or cold days.

Number two

Water helps keep your eyes moist so you can see clearly and experience less eye fatigue.

Number three

Water helps keep your mouth moist so you can create saliva so you can digest easier and speak more comfortably.

Number four

Water helps you regulate your body temperature – extremely important.

Number five

Water helps protect your organs and tissues.

Number six

Water helps prevent constipation.

Number seven

Water helps dissolves minerals and other nutrients in the body.

Number eight

Water lessens the burden on your kidneys and liver by flushing out waste products.

Number nine

Water helps your body recover from mental and physical fatigue.

Number ten

Water carries nutrients and oxygen to cells in the brain and other parts of the body.

Number ten is extremely important to remember as you go about your day so that you experience less stress and higher levels of mental clarity. Once again, it is water carries nutrients and oxygen to cells in the brain.

IMPORTANT NOTE: A few years ago I read the pioneering book on the life-changing impact water has on the human body. The book was called ‘Your Body’s Many Cries for Water’ By Dr. Batmanghelidj.

I recommend you get a copy of  Your Body’s Many Cries for Water for yourself and for anyone you know who will benefit from this information. I cannot emphasize more the importance of understanding what water does in your body and how proper hydration can increase your level of mental and physical energy during your days in the real estate profession.

 The best of everything to you,

David

What are Examples of Autosuggestion? What are Examples of Heterosuggestion?

david hennessey wonder technique

After I wrote the article titled What is Autosuggestion? What is Heterosuggestion? in response to email inquiries I thought it would be a good idea to expand on the topic by offering examples of each of these concepts so it is very clear what is being talked about.

(If you have not read ‘What is Autosuggestion? What is Heterosuggestion? you can do so right now by going here.)

Examples of Autosuggestion

Recall Autosuggestion can be positive and negative and it can either boost your ability to nourish your personal and professional life or help destroy it.

Positive Autosuggestion examples – the ones we want to be using on ourselves – include:

Self talk like: “I am happy; I am fun to be around; I am healthy; I am an excellent educator”.

Personal comments (the way we want to respond to people when they ask you how you are) include: “I am feeling wonderful; I feel super; Life is going great; This is another great day”.

Note on positive autosuggestions: keep using them!

Negative Autosuggestions examples – the ones we need to watch out for (and sometimes they are not easy to notice) include:

Self talk like: “I can’t do that; I will never be able to have a job like that; I am always in debt; I am always broke”.

Personal comments (again this is when people ask you how you are) “I am okay; I feel tired; life is difficult.” This kind of self-talk and personal commentary only goes to damage your sense of self in a slow and sneaky way like water enters the walls of a home.

Note on negative autosuggestions: these statements you need to immediately uproot it from your mind and replace it with a positive one. To help assist you get yourself some motivational cards like those here.

Examples of Heterosuggestion

Like Autosuggestion, Heterosuggestions can be positive and negative.

Positive Heterosuggestion examples are any statements you hear from another that make you feel good about yourself and your ability including: “Hey, Mary, you did a great job; John, you are an excellent speaker; David, you give great advice”.

Negative Heterosuggestion examples: These are the most dangerous heterosuggestions the statements like: “Joe, you are not capable of that; Jane, you work slowly; Sam, your ideas will never work”. These are not helpful statements of criticism for an action they are a statement against you as a person. Keep them out of your mind. When you hear statements like these or anything that is said to you that could unjustifiably damage your self-esteem and your ability to live happy and successful. Stop. Right away you need to ‘delete’ in your mind the statement and say to yourself the opposite or another supportive statement.

Note on negative heterosuggestions: Be very conscious of the people you associate with and how they talk to you. If people do not speak to you lovingly get yourself around nicer people or simply nourish your mind with ‘good mental food’. You will find examples of ‘good mental food’ here some motivational cards like those here.

I trust these examples and educational suggestions will help you create more health, happiness, and prosperity in your life and the lives of those around you starting today.

Your friend on the journey,

David

P.S. I also recommend if you want to read more about the power of autosuggestion and heterosuggestion and how to really use it in your life get a hold of the book called The Power of Your Subconscious Mind. (amazon)It is one of those books I wish I had discovered when I was a teenager.
