The Value of Relaxing Music to Aid Insomnia

Insomnia is a problem that affects large number of people, but the good news is that at Positive-Relaxation, we have done the research, and found material that can aid in the reduction of stress and assist with the elimination or control of Insomnia.

Music downloads are available from the abocve linked sites, and I fully recommend yo try them out.

At the end of the day, it should be noted that insomnia is typically the resuklt of stress, and thus, the reduction of stress can aid dramataically.

Naturally, this si an individual situation, and it is always best to obtain qualified medical advice, but as a guide, it can definitively benefit to reduce stress.

Relaxaing Your Way through Quitting to Smoke!

Yes, you have thought about quitting the cigarettes-0 and deep down- you want to do it-

or do you?

I ask as this is important- really important.

Do you have a genuine desire to quit smoking?

Now that we have established the answer- we can move on.

Smoking is an addiction, even if you are a social smoker, and that is OK.

This is not about blame, or torturing yourself.

It is about accepting that you have smoked till now, and are now ready to quit- for good!

No blame, no hurt- just honesty.

Just reaching this mond state is a huge step, and one that will lead you on to other areas of great accomplishment.

I discuss this more on my quit smoking page on my relaxation site.

I encorage you to consider the audio program available from the site, where you are lead into a gerntlr trance repeatedly, till you wioll literally not crave the cigarettes any more.

Thisnk of your increased health, the easier breathing, and the fuller pocket book too!

Head over to the quit smoking page now, and try ot for yourself.

Many have succeeded, and paved the road for you too.

7 Ways to Soothe your Shyness

Shy people instinctively know that they are missing out. Shyness equals lost opportunities, less pleasure and fewer social connections. Shyness can be crippling but there are tried and tested ways to make it a thing of the past.

When I was fifteen I was shy. I recall an attractive girl attempting to engage me in conversation. My shyness made me focus on me instead of her. I heard my own voice but not hers and I thought about what I was trying to say instead of what she was trying to say.

The formula for shyness is "too much focus on the self" plus anxiety. To make it even more unpleasant, sometimes when you are feeling shy you experience physical sensations which 'hijack' your calm logical self.

My pulse raced, my mouth dried up and I felt like the village idiot! I couldn't think what to say so I said nothing apart from making barely audible grunting noises! Cary Grant eat your heart out! When I detected pity in her eyes (or was it contempt, or boredom) I mumbled my excuse and got out of there. I hated being shy and was determined to change it.

How shyness is developed and maintained

Shyness really is a combination of social anxiety and social conditioning. To overcome shyness you need to learn to relax socially. This enables you to direct your attention away from yourself and gives you the space to practice certain conversational skills. In most cases, the heightened emotions of socializing when young simply condition the sufferer to respond to social events with fear, instead of excitement and pleasure.

Relaxed socializing is so pleasurable, not to say productive, but it is an advantage denied to many until they learn to relax. To start reducing your own shyness, I want you to absorb the following tips and ideas and start to put them into practice:

1) Think about the way you feel and behave around familiar people you are comfortable and spontaneous around. It's that feeling transferred to new people and situations that equates to your emerging social confidence.

2) Focus your attention away from yourself. Sure, you can think a little bit about how you are coming across, but if all your focus is on your own words and feelings then you might as well be by yourself. Notice what other people are wearing and make a mental note, listen to their conversation, imagine where they might live, make a point of remembering names. Not only does this give you more to talk about, it also 'dilutes' social anxiety leaving you feeling calmer.

3) Ask people open questions. Many people like to talk about themselves and will find you interesting if you find them interesting. Ask questions that require more than a 'yes'/'no' response such as 'What do you like about this place?' rather than: 'Do you like this place?' Once they've answered use 'add-on' questions connected to the first such as: 'What other places do you like in this city.?' Next you can express your views. This is a great way to get the conversation going. If the conversation doesn't 'take' then no matter, you've done your bit.

4) Stop trusting your imagination so much! Have you ever had an imaginary picture in your mind of a holiday destination only to arrive and find the reality is different from the way you had imagined? That's how reliable imagination is. Stop imagining what others think. I do lots of public speaking and I've long since stopped trying to second guess what others think of me - it's just too painful. Besides, what a person thinks about you has a lot more to do with who they are than who you are.

5) Stop using 'all or nothing' thinking. The 'completely this/completely that' style of thought occurs when you are emotional. People who are depressed, angry or anxious see reality in terms of differing extremes, simplistic all or nothing terms. An angry person is 'right' and you are 'wrong'; the depressed person feels like a 'failure' while others are a 'success'. In reality, life is composed of infinite gray areas. So stop fearing that you might say the 'wrong' thing! Or that people will 'hate' you. Once you start to relax more socially you'll notice much less black or white thinking because anxiety actually causes you to think in all or nothing terms.

6) Take your time. You don't have to blurt things out. Ask questions and if questions are asked of you can take time to consider your response (within reason). Don't just blurt out what you think might be the 'right' answer. A slow answer is a relaxed answer.

7) Finally, use hypnotic rehearsal. Hypnosis is the quickest way to change your instinctive/emotional response to any situation. Only think about meeting others when your mind and body is relaxed. This conditions you to associate relaxation with being around new people. In fact you'll find that when you relax deeply enough often enough whilst hypnotically rehearsing being comfortable around others you'll reach the point where you just can't be shy any more! This is what I call a 'happy inability!'

I now love meeting new people and suspect that my current social confidence would be unrecognizable to my fifteen year old self.

Are You Set for a Bumper Goal Year in 2009?





Have You Set Your Goals for your best year ever in 2009?

I ask, as I can state that statistically, all people who are multi millionaires have a set of goals, written down!

This is the crux of the issue. Your goals need to be written down, to have maximum effect.

I have met people who have said they have them in their mind, but my experience has proven that goals written down, make much more sense, and almost 'tell' the universe to be more productive for you.

An example is listed on my positive relaxation website at http://www.positive-relaxation.com/goalsettingrelax.html

This situation happened to me in the years of 1999 to 2000.

A friend of mine requested if I would be interested to move to the east coast of Australia, (I was living on the west), and I said no, as I was happy in the west.

My friend was persistant with me (another trait of great success), and he suggested I make a point of noting down a date to come to the east.

I was not very convnced at the time, and made a note in my diary for some time in the future.

I then forgot about it.

However, the universe had other ideas, and to cut a long story short, I arrived in the east coast of Australia some time after this event.

Three days after my arrival, I found an entry in my diary that said "prepare to consider coming to Sydney.

This was one incredible example of the powers of goal setting.

See where it will take you in 2009 and beyond?

Better and Greater Relaxation, with a focused and organised Financial plan!

What do I mean here?

Quite simple.

When our Financial House is in order, we are in order...


Let me expand on this.

Quite simply, it is easier for us to relax, when we are organised, and know where we are.

The person who has organised receipts, and a regular savings plan, and knows where they are, will generally be both wealthier, as well as more relaxed, due to 'knowing' their position.

I am a great beleiver in getting organised, and making a point of always 'paying' ourselves first, after we receive an income, as out over all success financially, (wich assists in a more relaxed existence, due to less stress about money) is an important step.

More information can be found on my website on wealth at http://www.medallionmarketingteam.com/rich.html




I know that what I say sounds very simple, but applying this pronciple will definitively solve many of your stresses.

It is not a complete solution of itself for total relief, but certainly a big step in less worry financially.

Take a Breather with Audio fro Positive Relaxation

Relaxation is an Integral Part of Our Lives for Focus, and Serenity

Relaxation is an integral part of our lives- it is an opportunity to rejuvenate after a long day, a time to feel at one with the world.



Relaxation with the right audio is something that can positive affect us all.

I have often found that relaxing with some baroque music in the background, or even using specially recorded, intended relaxation material is very sooting.

I have provided a long list on the site at http://www.positive-relaxation.com/ and information on the different types of audio available, as well as links to obtaining these audios.

With the new year coming, and the stress that many of us can experience in the lead up, let's take a break, and bounce forward to the next step.

All the best from Martin at http://www.positive-relaxation.com/

Relaxation with Soothing Music- Manifestation Meditation

Relaxation is an integral part of our lives- it is an opportunity to rejuvenate after a long day, a time to feel at one with the world.

Relaxation with the right audio is a rebalancing opportunity, and a wonderful and rich experience.

More information is available on www.positive-relaxation.com , and in particular, there is a new setion on soothing music for the soul, and it is a highly recommended area to investigate for further information.

An example is a link to an area for their CD's, like 'When it;s time to let go".

All the best
