Detox Your Life – Clearing Negative Energy

Posted by Faey under Healthy Relationships, Neat Stuff, Personal Growth, Spiritual Journey, Stay Healthy
--> Comment Here <--

Found this little article from David Salmon giving some neat tips on how to keep our space clear of negative energy. How to detox your life and live in a place where you can thrive.

David is a property investment and a life coach with over 20 years experience in the world of property, finance, and mentoring. He has also written a book called “Wake Up… Moments of Inspiration.”

Detox Your Life

By David Salmon

A detox supposedly re-vitalizes you and brings renewed energy and vigour. Thinking about it further, I moved on to apply this to external toxins. All those negative people, places and things in our lives can build up to a toxic level that takes away our energy in the same way.

Negative energy can be very tiring. We all know somebody negative who leaves us feeling drained after only a few minutes conversation. If you have somebody like that in your life you need to get rid of them or at least protect yourself from them, if that is impossible. You don’t want to lose all your energy being around someone who drains you emotionally or mentally whenever you are with them. A long time ago I stopped meeting up with an old friend who had become increasingly negative and seemed determine to undermine me at any opportunity. I felt bad breaking off our friendship but felt very relieved when I did. I hadn’t realized how much our weekly meetings had drained me of energy.

Avoid negative environments in the same way. You cannot work well in a hostile environment. If it drains your energy then you need to find a new place to work, before you reach exhaustion levels. Get rid of objects that don’t support you too: the computer that crashes regularly, the car that won’t start, the blunt razor, the computer chair that kills your back. All of these things cause stress that is unnecessary. Make sure that your environment and all the things in it support you, so that you can be your best.

Detox your life by getting rid of anything and anyone that drains your energy. If you cannot get rid of them then find a way of protecting yourself from their negative energy. You deserve to be supported in your life. Negative energy is the very opposite of what you need. Don’t let anyone or anything steal your vital life energy from you with their negativity. Life is too short for that.

Eben Pagan’s Program – Wake Up Productive Review

Posted by Faey under Neat Stuff, Stay Healthy
--> Comment Here <--

Eben’s ‘Wake Up Productive’ sounded so enticing…I got snared right out of the water.

Wake Up Productive is a program that promises you to get more done with clarity. Me, I can’t think of anything MORE important than feeling great and actually doing all I set out for that day…and going to bed satisfied and happy.

One of the best things I gained from participating in this program was eliminating my work migraines by applying his 60-60-30 technique. Pure genius! Here’s what it is in a nut shell. Basically, you cut your work time into chunks:

Do 50 minute of work and take a 10 minute break to do something else and relax.

Then do another 50 minute of work follow by a 10 minute break to help keep your mind fresh and clear. So you are well rejuvenated throughout your work period.

Then the remaining 30 minute is for a meal break or do something physical like stretching to give your body some awareness instead of being in your head still.

This way you are keeping your body alert and your mind sharp!

The reason I first had most of those headaches was because I pushed myself to do my work even when my mind already hits the maximum time limit. So, yes…I’ve exhausted my mind and body by not stopping to take a break. It’s like jogging on the treadmill for 2 hours and 30 minutes — straight through without stopping or taking a water break. Can you see how exhausting and how much stress you put on your mind by working long hours without a break?

That’s just ONE technique. He’s got dozens!

After going through his 12 week transformation training, I can say it’s well put together and very practical…key word here is –it is PRACTICAL. These new habits he suggests aren’t just ideas; it’s something to put into action ASAP. And I noticed after going through his training, my perspective about how I do things has shifted for the better.

Now, the program isn’t 100% perfect. But it is pretty darn close! First of all, it’s not easy to change a habit. So this program is not a magic pill to make us all perfect overnight. It does require at least 12 weeks of dedication, 1 to 2 hours each week, a solid desire to change, and you taking action.

You would be asked to question your old habits, your paradigms, and challenge yourself. I wish we don’t have to work as hard. And this could be an accelerated program –instead of 12 weeks…it could be a 30 day program. But I’m sure Eben set it up the way he did for a good reason. Probably, our mind and body can better soak up these new habits at this set rate and really make these successful habits ours to keep. So the only thing you’ll have to loose is the time you spend on this amazing program to do the inner and outer works on you. And become a highly productive individual.

The best thing about Eben’s program is he gives you the science behind the action: why you do it, how it works, and why it works. So for those of you who need to know why before doing anything, I think you will be very pleased with Wake Up Productive. His 12 week program will help you ease into those new successful productive habits and get you more at ease and focus on your work and life.

When you’re ready to get more information about Eben Pagan’s Wake Up Productive: The Inner Game and Outer Game of Time Management and Personal Productivity, you can visit his site at http://wakeupproductiveblog.com and watch his free preview videos.

I am not getting paid by Eben to do this. I’m simply sharing this because I honestly believe it will benefit whoever that goes through the course. It gives me great joy to be able to tell you about this so you can get closer to your super-self!

Why the Rich Get Richer and the Poor Get Poorer – Brian Tracy

Posted by Faey under Neat Stuff
--> Comment Here <--

Found this neat advice from Brian Tracy. Thought it would be helpful if anyone is at all curious about why the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer. Brian also shares with you some great tips on how to get what you want.

The Parable of Talents

By Brian Tracy

The Parable of the Talents is the primary reason for wealth or poverty throughout history.

Reasons for Rich or Poor
Why do some people retire rich and most people retire poor? This subject has fascinated philosophers, thinkers, mystics and teachers throughout the ages. There have been so many cases of hundreds or thousands and even millions of men and women who have started with nothing and become financially independent that people are naturally curious to know why it happened and what are the common rules or principles that others can apply to become wealthy as well.

Why People Become Rich
One illustration of this key principle is called the parable of the talents. In the Bible, it says, “To him that hath, shall more be given, and he shall have abundance. But from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away.”

Accumulation Leads to More Accumulation
What does it mean? In the modern world, we say “the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.” The fact is that people who accumulate money tend to accumulate more and more. People who don’t accumulate money seem to lose even that little bit of money which they have. Why should this happen? The great success principle, the single idea that explains human destiny is simple. It says that, “you become what you think about, most of the time.”

Control Your Thoughts
And whatever you dwell upon, grows in your reality. You create your entire world by the things you choose to think about and how you choose to think about them.

It just so happens that wealthy, successful people fill their minds with thoughts, words, pictures and images of wealth, affluence, success, productivity and solutions to problems in the marketplace, most of the time. These thoughts trigger the reticular activating cortex, the part of the brain that makes you more alert and sensitive to things that you have decided are important to you.

Activate Your Reticular Cortex
For example, if you decide to invest in a mutual fund, you will start to see news and information about mutual funds everywhere. Mentions in newspapers and magazines will jump out at you. These notices have always been there but now you have sensitized your brain to pick them up and draw them to your attention with far greater frequency and vividness. This is the function and power of your reticular cortex.

Avoid Poverty Thinking
On the other hand, what do poor people think about most of the time? Unfortunately, poor people fill their minds with thoughts of scarcity, lack, poverty, being unable to afford things. They are always thinking and talking about how little money they have, how much things cost and how they wish things could be better financially. What they think about most of the time is how little money they have.

Think Like Wealthy People Think
Wealthy people from an early age think about how much they have, how much they want and all the different things they can do to acquire and earn the money and things they desire.

Find Out How Rich People Think
Here’s a rule for you. If you want to become successful, find out what failures do and don’t do it. If you want to be wealthy, find out what poor people think about, and avoid thinking in those ways. Instead, find out how wealthy people think. Find out what they read. Find out how they spend their time. Study their lives, read their stories and autobiographies and listen to their words when they are interviewed and on tape. The more you find out what financially successful people think and talk about most of the time, and do the same things, the more rapidly you will enjoy the same rewards that they do.

Action Exercises
Here are two things you can do to put this parable of the talents into action:

First, make a decision today that from now on you will think and talk only about the financial success that you desire. At the same time, you will refuse to talk about or dwell upon your financial problems.

Second, instead of saying, “I can’t afford it,” instead ask the question, “How can I afford it?” When you think of something that you want or need that you don’t have the money for at the time, the only question you ask is, “How?” How can you get it? What can you do to achieve it? What are your options? How can you get from where you are to where you want to go? This type of attitude will change your life.

Brian Tracy – Forging Your Self-Confidence

Posted by Faey under Effective Communication Skills, Neat Stuff, Personal Growth
--> Comment Here <--

This is an absolute gem from Brian Tracy. I felt an urge that his words should be read by everyone. Absolutely, everyone can learn a thing or two from this valuable information.

We can learn how to strengthen our self-confidence and develop ourselves into the person we desire to be.

From the wisdom of Brian Tracy, here are some great tips he shares with us:

Forging Your Self-Confidence: Part 1

By Brian Tracy

A young woman wrote to me recently, telling me that her whole life had taken a different turn since she heard me ask the question, “What one great thing would you dare to dream if you knew you could not fail?” She wrote that, up to that time, this was a question she had never even dared to consider, but now, she thought of nothing else. She had realized, in a great, blinding flash of clarity, that the main thing separating her from her hopes and dreams was the belief in her ability to achieve them.

Most of us are like this for most of our lives. There are many things that we want to be, and have and do, but we hold back. We are unsure because we lack the confidence necessary to step out in faith in the direction of our dreams.

Don’t Underestimate Yourself

Abraham Maslow said that the story of the human race is the story of men and women “selling themselves short.” Alfred Adler, the great psychotherapist, said that men and women have a natural tendency toward feelings of inferiority and inadequacy. Because we lack confidence, we don’t think we have the ability to do the kind of things that others have done, and in many cases, we don’t even try.

Just think: What difference would it make in your life if you had an absolutely unshakable confidence in your ability to achieve anything you really put your mind to? What would you want and wish and hope for? What would you dare to dream if you believed in yourself with such deep conviction that you had no fears of failure whatsoever?

Most people start off with little or no self-confidence, but as a result of their own efforts, they become bold and brave and outgoing. And we’ve discovered that if you do the same things that other self-confident men and women do, you, too, will experience the same feelings and get the same results.

Discover Yourself

The key is to be true to yourself, to be true to the very best that is in you, and to live your life consistent with your highest values and aspirations.

Take some time to think about who you are and what you believe in and what is important to you. Decide that you will never compromise your integrity by trying to be or say or feel something that is not true for you. Have the courage to accept yourself as you really are-not as you might be, or as someone else thinks you should be-and know that, taking everything into consideration, you are a pretty good person.

After all, we all have our own talents, skills and abilities that make us extraordinary. No one, including yourself, has any idea of your capabilities or of what you might ultimately do or become. Perhaps the hardest thing to do in life is to accept how extraordinary you really can be, and then to incorporate this awareness into your attitude and personality.

Know Yourself and Your Potential

In developing unshakable levels of self-confidence, your self-esteem, and self-regard are important starting points, but they are not enough. People have tried positive thinking and wishing and hoping for years, with only mixed results. To develop the deep-down kind of self-confidence that leads to victory, you need positive knowing, not just positive thinking.

Lasting self-confidence really comes from a sense of control. When you feel very much in control of yourself and your life, you feel confident enough to do and say the things that are consistent with your highest values. Psychologists today agree that a feeling of being “out of control” is the primary reason for stress and negativity and for feelings of inferiority and low self-confidence. And the way for you to get a solid sense of control over every part of your life is to set clear goals or objectives, to establish a sense of direction based on purposeful behavior aimed at predetermined ends.

Being true to yourself means knowing exactly what you want and having a plan to achieve it. Lasting self-confidence comes when you absolutely know that you have the capacity to get from where you are to wherever you want to go. You are behind the wheel of your life. You are the architect of your destiny and the master of your fate.

Instead of being preoccupied with the fear of failure and loss, as most people are, you focus on the opportunity and the possible gains of achievement. With a clearly defined track to run on, you become success-oriented, and you gradually build your confidence up to the stage where there is very little you will not take on.

Positive Thinking vs. Positive Knowing

Another essential way to build your self-confidence, through positive knowing rather than just positive thinking, is to become very good at what you do. The flip side of self-confidence is “self-efficacy,” or the ability to perform effectively in your chosen area.

You can raise your self-confidence instantly by the simple act of committing yourself to becoming excellent in your chosen field. You immediately separate yourself from the average individual who drifts from job to job and accepts mediocrity as the adequate standard.

============================================

Forging Your Self-Confidence: Part 2

By Brian Tracy

Some years ago, a young man named Tim came to one of my personal-development seminars. He was shy and introverted. His handshake was weak and he had tremendous difficulty making eye contact. He sat in the back of the seminar room with his head down, taking notes. He seemed to have few friends, and he didn’t socialize very much during the breaks. At the end of the seminar, he told me that he was in sales and hadn’t been doing very well up to that time. But he had resolved to change, to go to work on himself, to overcome his shyness and to become very good at selling for his company. He then said good-bye, and I wished him the best of luck as he went on his way.

A year later, he came back to take the seminar again. But this time, he was distinctly different. He was calmer and more self-assured. He was still a little shy, but when he shook hands, his grip was firmer, and his eye contact was better. He sat toward the middle of the seminar room, and he interacted quietly with people around him. At the end of the seminar, he told me that he was starting to move up in his sales force and had had his best year ever. He was determined to do even better in the year to come.

About 14 months later, Tim came back to the seminar. This time, he brought five people from his company, all of whom he had convinced to come to the seminar, and he had offered to pay their tuition if they weren’t satisfied. He walked right up to me and shook hands firmly, looking me straight in the eye with a strong, self-confident smile. He asked if I remembered him, and I told him that I remembered him very well. He said that he had brought something that he wanted to show me. He took out of his pocket a letter from the president of a national corporation-one of the biggest companies in the country-personally congratulating him for the outstanding job he had done in sales in his territory in the past year.

It turned out that Tim had gone from number 33 to number one out of 42 salespeople. His income had risen from $26,000 a year to $98,000, and he had increased his sales volume at a faster rate than any other salesperson in the country had. He was still quiet, but he had a wonderful air of power and purposefulness about him. He had taken the steps and paid the price to build himself into a fine young man. He had made the decision to do whatever was necessary to overcome his shyness and to develop the kind of personality that he admired in others. He was, and is, in every sense of the word, a self-made man.

Two Mental Laws

Perhaps the most wonderful result of developing high levels of self-confidence is the positive impact that your personality will have on your relationships. There are two mental laws that are always operating and that determine much of what happens to you in your interactions with people.

Law #1

The first is the law of attraction, which says that you will inevitably attract into your life people who are very much like you.

Law #2

The second law is the law of correspondence, which says that your outer world of relationships will correspond perfectly, like a mirror image, to your inner world of personality and temperament.

In combination, these laws simply say that as you change in a positive direction, you will find yourself surrounded by people who are very much like the new person you are becoming. As you get better, the quality and quantity of your relationships will get better. You will meet nicer, more self-confident, more interesting and enjoyable people. You will find yourself getting along better with members of the opposite sex, including your spouse. You will find yourself doing better at your job, or even in a new job, and getting along better with your boss and your coworkers. Your attitude of confidence and calm assurance will make you more attractive to people. They will want to be around you, to open doors for you, to make opportunities available to you that would not have arisen when you didn’t feel as terrific about yourself as you do now.

Often, people lack self-confidence in their relationships with others because they judge themselves poorly in comparison. Sometimes you become self-conscious of what you are doing and saying, and sometimes you are afraid that people will not like you or accept you the way you want them to. Well, there is an important mindset that you can adopt to improve your ability to get along well with others in a more relaxed and confident fashion.

Practice Detachment

It’s important to remember that no one can affect your thoughts or feelings unless there is something that you want from him, or something that you want him to refrain from doing. As soon as you begin to practice detachment and decide in your own mind that there is nothing that you want or expect from another person, you will find that his ability to shake your self-confidence is greatly reduced. The people who are the most successful in human relationships are those who practice a calm, healthy detachment from others, and although they are friendly and engaged in the conversation, they don’t allow the behaviors of others to determine how they think and feel about themselves.

As you can see, it is our fears and doubts that, more than anything else, undermine our self-esteem and self-confidence and cause us to think in negative terms about ourselves and our possibilities. As Maslow said, we begin to “sell ourselves short” and see all the reasons why something might not be possible for us. We magnify the difficulties and minimize the opportunities. We become preoccupied with the possible losses we might suffer and the possible criticisms we might endure. Our fears and doubts paralyze us, preventing us from acting boldly, lowering our self-confidence and causing us to think and talk in negative terms. In fact, this probably describes the great majority of mankind. Most people are so preoccupied with their fears that they have time for little else, and this preoccupation manifests itself in much of what they say and do.

The only real antidote to doubt and worry and fear and all the other negative emotions that sabotage our self-confidence is action. Your conscious mind can hold only one thought at a time, positive or negative. When you engage in systematic, purposeful action, using and stretching your abilities to the maximum, you cannot help but feel positive and confident about yourself.

Act as though it were impossible to fail. Act as though you already had a high level of self-confidence. And continually ask yourself, “What one great thing would I dare to achieve if I knew I could not fail?” Whatever your answer, you can have it if you can dream it, and if you have the self-confidence to go out and get it.

How to Save Money – Brian Tracy’s Financial Advice

Posted by Faey under Neat Stuff
--> Comment Here <--

Found these interesting money tips from Brian Tracy.

How to change your spending habits so you could start saving money today.

The Law of Saving
By: Brian Tracy

Financial freedom comes to the person who saves ten percent or more of his income throughout his lifetime.

One of the smartest things that you can ever do for yourself is to develop the habit of saving part of your salary, every single paycheck. Individuals, families and even societies are stable and prosperous to the degree to which they have high savings rates. Savings today are what guarantee the security and the possibilities of tomorrow.

Start With Yourself
The first corollary of the Law of Saving comes from the book The Richest Man in Babylon by George Clason. It is to “Pay yourself first.”

Begin today to save ten percent of your earnings, off the top, and never touch it. This is your fund for long-term financial accumulation and you never use it for any other reason except to assure your financial future.

Develop New Habits Regarding Money
The remarkable thing is that when you pay yourself first, and force yourself to live on the other ninety percent, you will soon become accustomed to it. You are a creature of habit. When you regularly put away ten percent of your earnings, you soon become comfortable living on the other ninety percent. Many people start by saving ten percent of their income and then graduate to saving fifteen percent, twenty percent, and even more. And their financial lives change dramatically as a result. So will yours.

Take Every Advantage
The second corollary of the Law of Saving says, “Take advantage of tax deferred savings and investment plans.” Because of high and even multiple tax rates, money that is saved or invested without being taxed accumulates at a rate of 30% to 40% faster than money that is subject to taxation. Self-made millionaires, according to Dr Thomas Stanley’s book The Millionaire Next Door, are almost obsessive about accumulating their funds in assets such as real estate, self owned businesses and equities that increase in value without triggering tax liabilities.

Invest in company pension and retirement plans, 401(k) plans, IRA’s, Keough Plans, Roth IRA’s, Education Investment Accounts, stock option programs and whatever else has been approved by the IRS for long term financial accumulation. Make every dollar count!

Action Exercises
Here are two things you can do to apply this law immediately:

First, begin today to put away ten percent of your earnings. Set up a special account for this purpose and treat your contributions to this account with the same respect that you do your rent or mortgage payments each month.

Second, become a lifelong student of money. Read the best books, take courses and subscribe to the most helpful magazines. Know what you are doing so you can always make intelligent decisions when you invest your funds.

How Can You Attract More Wealth and Abundance?
We are now surrounded by more wealth than at any time in our history. The real question is how do YOU gain this abundance? Become a money magnet, immediately increase your income and learn wealth building secrets. Get the knowledge you need to make your financial future an outstanding one.

Mike Geary – Maximize Your Cardio Workout!

Posted by Faey under Natural Weight Loss, Neat Stuff, Stay Healthy
--> Comment Here <--

The best thing I learned from Mike Geary was how you can maximize your cardio exercise.

You simply do your jog in spurt! It means instead of doing 30 to 45 minutes of straight jogging, you could do a 15 minute jog instead. You do what the professional sprint runners do. You can get similar workout they get.

You simply start out jogging for 2 minute then switch to a 2 minute fast pace, hard running. Then you go down to 2 minute of regular jogging. Then you switch back up to a sprint for 2 minute. Then you walk or/and jog for 2 minute and go right back up doing a quick sprint for 2 more minute and finish the run with a 3 minute jog then walk.

It’s interval training. This will really work you out instead of lollygagging around and not really getting the most out of your jog. Now who doesn’t want to do a 15 minute run and reap the same benefit!

I love how Mike Geary compare this running technique between a sprint runner and a marathon runner. How the sprint runner’s muscle is well defined and how the marathon runner looks scrawny and starved. Apart from this, he has many more exercise and more exclusive information about how to really exercise and get the most out of it than just wasting time at the gym thinking you are doing the workout but never seeing the results. Or worse you end up unmotivated or even quit before any body result is apparent!

yelp…lots of insights and enlightenment…..

Eric: I see. I think a lot of people would gain from it

Me: I think of it….these programs are growing new refreshing crops of men for all the women out there….he he he…then I’ll stop hearing all the good men are taken or they’re all gay stuff. =) he he he… I mean who wouldn’t want a REAL man who knows himself, be present, and be his genuine self. Of course that would mean the woman be her true self to match with these type of REAL men too…..can’t have them nagging immature little girls. It just wouldn’t match…He he he….sorry..I am just going on and on…

Eric: It’s cool Faey. You’re always welcome to express yourself with me
I look forward to your insight
I agree with you and this program

Me: thanks for allowing me that space. so appreciated. =)

Eric: Anytime, my friend

Me: got two new insights if you are curious

Eric: Sure…I’m always open
Are you still there?

Me: sorry about that…was watching a video of Authentic Man Program
anyhow, briefly…the first 2 steps…of accessing your authentic self for Men are:
STEP 1: Presence. BE there. Not trying or thinking about being there. But actually being in the moment, enjoying it with ease. Just be at ease. Check in your body and see if you are tight in your body or rambling on in your head or fidgeting. (these are signs of you not being ‘present’). Just RELAX and be in your body. Feel instead of thinking. Just be there.
You could use this with women. Actually, you could use this with anybody, anything….especially with yourself.
Creates solidity in YOU as a person.

Eric: I like this. And I feel that I do these things right now. Because recently, I have found that I am very content with who I am as a man, as a person. I enjoy my own time & time with friends, and I don’t yearn for outrageous things.
Please continue. I’m enjoying this

Me: Good. Well done on your steps forward! =)
STEP 2. Appreciation. This means with your interaction with women and others. You see them as another person, not just an object or target to get. But treat and see them. They too have dreams, issues, feelings, and needs.
It means stepping into their shoes feeling what they are feeling without your agenda…or for example “hummm, I see you are so warm and nurturing and etc.”
It does not mean complimenting her and making her feel good.
It’s about being there with her on the ride. Yet, you being solid in who you ARE at the same time. You CAN’T…just do step 2 or skip ahead to step 2 unless STEP 1: Presence is deep rooted and grounded in you.

Eric: Yes, you’re absolutely right. Basically, seeing each person for who they are. I think that’s why I’ve gained so many female friends. This is deep.
I’m not saying I know it all. I’m actually just analyzing everything you tell me and then I think if I’m doing that or have I applied it.
what’s step 3?

Me: want to add a little more on Step 2 still.

Eric: Oh. Ooops. Sure go ahead

Me: So like I said, it’s not about complimenting her and solely making her feel good. It’s about being THERE with her. Feeling what it IS what she is feeling. Allowing her that space. Yet you be there fully present and enjoying your interaction and being authenticly CURIOUS. (no pretense). You truly feel curious to know about her and who she is. If you do it right.
You could feel her heart open up to you. And she might stop being all bitchy and become real sweet or tone down…she’ll feel…wow this person really SEES me.
This will create intimate connection with them.
for love or for friendships..many types of intimacy
Interests will build between the two individuals….
Boom! relationship is created…
Takes practice…..

Eric: After reading this, I really feel that many Americans could benefit from this knowledge
And I agree on so many accounts with the steps you’ve provided to me

Me: glad you like it.
Oh and remember, just one more thing. The whole time you are being YOU — stay REAL to who you are.

Eric: Right.
I’ve gotten into Zen philosophy, It’s really helped me
It is similar with its outlooks on life, respect and responsibility

Me: Nice. Love zen….

Eric: I want to be a modern day Jazz Monk

Me: hey Eric…I going to have to cut it short….starting some more training soon. BTW, can I use this yahoo IM conversation for me blog?

Eric: Sure. Go ahead

Me: he he he…’modern day JAZZ Monk’ i could see that.

Eric: Have a good day/night

Me: Alright, ttyl. In the meantime time chill out…or should I say keep it jazzy… =)

Dating Help for Men – What REALLY Attracts Us Women (Part 1 of 2)

Normally, I wouldn’t encourage men’s trainings on how to get women to fall for them. But this training is exceptional. It’s not a teach men tricks to belittle women so they bend to their will. Whatever! That is so degrading to me as a woman. And I hate that, if anyone thinks using these techniques can keep a real woman’s interest. Think again. We women are going to find out. The relationship might not be strong enough to withstand the manipulation. Heck, it began with manipulation!

A relationship built on tricks and false pretense can almost never qualify for a lifelong relationship. If any man says yes to such training, they probably aren’t ready for a real committed relationship. They still have a bit of a distance on their journey before they turn from boys to men. Or they simply just aren’t the type of man who wants to stick around. These men still need to explore the territory before finding ‘the one’. We all move at different paces. That’s totally okay, we all have our own journey and our own preference. Our progress can only be measured by our own pace and willingness to push ourselves.

We women also journey at our own pace. We make that transition to womanhood through our experiences and desires. Usually women are initiated to womanhood when they get their first menstrual period. Yes, many cultures use this as the woman’s rite of passage! In society’s eyes, we are a woman when we begin our period, get our boobs, or turn eighteen, but the truth is — some of us ladies haven’t even arrived close to our womanhood even if these three major milestones have already been reached.

Anyhow, if you’re a man you probably don’t care. You just want to know how can I attract women, right?

Here’s what to do. These are the secrets most men don’t even know. By golly, some women aren’t even aware of it either. We just sense…we like that man. Here’s the unmasked secrets revealed.
