Relieve Depression Naturally: Tools to Fight Depression is a post from: Self Improvement Made Easy

Ok, so I’m a horrible procrastinator. Everything gets done at the absolute *last* moment to the deteriment of my health. Surfing the internet, checking email, doing favors for other people, chatting online, eating food, random stupid things… absolutely everything seems to kill my time. Heck, at this very moment I’m wasting time on Yahoo answers. The fact that I live in a dorm-like setting means also that a) my roommate is a severe distraction and that b) people wandering into my room in the wee hours of the morning make it worse. I’m not a bad student either, so I try to perform well on items at hours long past when normal people would have given up. The simple techniques touted for "curing" procrastination just do not work (ie: tell yourself you’ll work on something for five minutes and then after five minutes promise yourself again).

I have some serious issues with procrastination that need to be fixed before I end up dying of sleep deprivation. Can anyone please help??

i procrastinate so much that it’s ridiculous. It harms my health, my school grades, and causes me to feel crappy/sleep deprived all day because i usually stay up all night trying to not procrastinate but sometimes end up starting my work about an hour before the essay or project or whatnot is due. should i see a psychologist or therapist?

should i seek therapy or something for my procrastination? is a post from: Self Improvement Made Easy

However, on closer examination, those held aloft as paragons of success are nothing more than naked emperors. Sure, they may be successful in one aspect of their lives but other aspects of their lives may well be a complete mess. Or, indeed, many so-called successful people have ascended the ladder of success whilst walking over others or trampling other people’s aspirations into the dirt – if they get a good night’s sleep it is only because they have chosen to ignore the damage that they have done.

True success is more than that. Real success needs to be multi-faceted. Indeed, true success must exhibit itself in every aspect of your life, otherwise you’re fooling yourself, you’re living down to society’s expectations. When I work with my clients, I spend plenty of time facilitating their defining success for themselves. This is the framework definition that I offer them.

“I’m really good at what I do, I put my heart and soul into it and it turns me on. I get well rewarded for it and it makes a positive difference to those whose lives I touch. I have a balanced life, putting my heart and soul into everything I do, every place I am, with everybody with whom I find myself. I have a wonderful personal life and fantastic real relationships. I do what’s necessary so that I’m fit and healthy. And I ensure that I spend plenty of time doing the things that really excite me – my life is an adventure. I am happy in my own skin, at peace in my own company.”

After that, of course, each individual’s definition of success is unique and personal. You see taking this rounded perspective on success changes our perspective of what it is to have truly reached the pinnacle of human achievement. Success needs to be, above all else, felt and experienced within. Happiness and success should go hand in hand – and the only place that you will find true happiness is within. Where else would you expect to find it?

Everything else – the cars, the holidays, the second homes, the job titles – is transient. Like everything else in life, these things arise for a time and then pass away. Real success and happiness should not be dependent upon or attached to any of these passing fads. Seek “attachment-based” success and you’re only setting yourself up for disappointment. Alternatively, seek the inner peace and happiness that comes with true, balanced, across-the-board success and you will arrive at a place on which so few even take the trouble to set their sights in the first place.

Does the consequence of procrastination gets to you at night? is a post from: Self Improvement Made Easy

I’m currently studying for the LSAT and I just graduated from college in June. I have this horrible habit of procrastinating, and God knows that you’re screwed if you do that with the LSAT; but I find that it still happens to me. I’m a smart girl, but sometimes my mind wonders a bit, and I have trouble focusing on my work. I work part-time and I have a pretty busy schedule. Sometimes when I’m trying to study, I get soooo tired that I fall asleep and fall behind on my studies. PLEASE HELP!!! I’m open to any suggestions to stay awake, increase my concentration, my memory and decrease my procrastination. Is there anything I can do, or perhaps drink/eat to help me out??? I’m sure most of you will say, sleep more at night, which I’ve been getting better at recently, but I still would appreciate more suggestions!

What’s the best way to get rid of procrastination? is a post from: Self Improvement Made Easy

Hypnosis parenting, experts claim, is a method o positive parenting. What are ideas behind this parenting and how do they work?

Hypnosis is not ordering or becoming authoritative to other people. This is something that we should understand and be clear about. Hypnosis, unlike what we commonly know, is not about making people do something which they would not remember or stop doing. Hypnosis is about suggestions.

Experts said that our children are already suggestible from their parents. Almost all parents are familiar with their baby’s emotions and facial expressions. Actually, if we smile in a baby and make eye contact it is highly possible that would be smiling back. Children learn from the parents through the parents’ actions and expressions. If a parent want to teach something to their children, it is important to show an example that we are also following these rules that were set out for them.

Hypnosis parenting is not only applicable when you want your children to do their homework or do household chores. You can only use hypnosis to help them with difficulty in sleeping or nervousness and tension before exams, school presentation or a game.

How to do this?

You can start by talking to them before they go to sleep. Make sure that they are comfortable and make them close their eyes. You could start telling a story which would show the protagonist succeeding in the challenges that he faced. Use positive images when telling a story. This would help your child ease the tension. Aside from helping your child ease out the tension, the parent and the child also got the chance to spent some bonding moment together.

What the parent say have an impact on how children feel about themselves. An example would be the behaviour they show. If the child is refuses to follow certain rules in the house, and you get a heated discussion over it, more probably that the child would still be the same.

You could replace the heated discussion with random positive statements, like saying that the child are improving much on their behaviour and acknowledging their efforts to behave. The child will feel better and eventually will believe that he is indeed behaving well. Soon enough, the child will change his behaviour for the better.

These simple suggestions helped the children’s mind or its subconscious to accept and believe in them. So if the statements made or the statements that a child can hear are all negative, the subconscious would believe it and the child will follow it in real life.

But if positive statements are heard by the child, even if they are randomly dropped statements, the subconscious perceive this as the truth and would eventually translate into their actions.

Hypnosis for children can even be used in encouraging them to do household chores. All you want to do is look at them straight into the eyes and ask them to do the household chores. A little bobbing of the head, would encourage your child to agree to do the job delegated to them.

conversational hypnosis can be learned by listening to simple hypnosis audios teachings with an instruction manual. There are various conversational hypnosis online courses that teaches this powerful skill. By learning the covert techniques of influence and persuasion, you will find use for them in almost all everyday situations.
