How To Remain Productive When You Feel Like Giving Up

From Entrepreneurs-Journey.com

Like most people, some mornings I wake up and feel less than enthusiastic about working. Sometimes, this feeling doesn’t stem from laziness or apathy, it’s a stronger power, a sense of futility and helplessness. Read More…

I absolutely love this video.

It's proof that age is just a number and no matter how old or young you are, there's tons of amazing things you can do. 65 is no longer the mandatory retirement age and in fact tons of people 65 and older are making huge goals, starting businesses, going back to school, and changing their lives.

I was at Tony Robbin's Unleash The Power Within a few months ago and was amazed when I saw an 80+ year old woman say she was here to change her life!

Check out this video and see for yourself. Drop a comment and let me know what you think of this new "ageism".

With start of Ramadan approaching on Saturday, I thought it'd be apt to put up a guide to the benefits of fasting. Whether you're religious or not, fasting is something that has permeated every culture, religion, and history.

And for good reason. It doesn't matter if you're doing it for religious reasons or health reasons, fasting can be a way to rejuvenate the body, mind, and soul.

Enjoy these 5 benefits and if you're currently fasting or will be in the near future, drop a comment. I'd love to hear what your reasons were for your decision.

1. Retune your digestive system

Not many people know this but fasting can be a way for you to give your digestive system a tune up. According to Dr. Naomi Neufeld, an endocrinologist at UCLA, "You re-tune the body, suppress insulin secretion, reduce the taste for sugar, so sugar becomes something you're less fond of taking."

Let's face it. Not everyone is a morning person. Least of all me. But we still drag ourselves out of our cozy beds each day to live our lives.

To be honest, I just woke up and feel like going back to bed but what's a better time than now to write about having a great morning?

So I did some research, looked at the hardest parts of anyone's morning, and came up with this quick 5-step guide to getting the best out of every morning so that the rest of your day is absolutely amazing.

Step 1: Get A Good Night's Sleep

Probably the most important. You can do all the morning rituals you want but if you didn't get enough quality sleep, then you'll still be missing out on your full morning potential.

Now not everyone's the same. Some people only need 6 whereas I need a good 9 hours. Figure out where you stand and make it your target to get that amount of sleep every night. Of course, a little late night partying is allowed every now and then, just don't over do it.

Here are some quick tips on getting a better night's sleep:

• Meditate - clearing your mind can do wonders for getting you into deep sleep right away instead of staring at the ceiling for hours.
• Avoid caffeine and alcohol in the evenings. Read More…

Some time ago, Chunyi Lin shared with us his knowledge and techniques of energy healing. His message was a powerful one and its effect was even bigger.

He's one of the most celebrated healers in the world and is one of our top 5 most viewed and highest rated contributors to FinerMinds.

If you don't believe me then just have a look at what some FinerMinds' readers are saying:

"Wonderful advice, thank you very much. I used the technique on a number of people, including my husband but I didn’t really believed him when he said the back pain he had was gone. The other evening, my 11 years old son accused an acute ache on his right knee. Without telling him I applied your teaching and within minutes he forgot he ever had experienced that ferocious pain. Thank you very much again, I will continue to do this because I saw it work with my very own eyes. Be blessed."

- Maya

"Master Chunyi Lin, I have trouble expressing in words, how much this has helped my family! The Finer Minds site was smart enough to invite you to be a teacher with them, and they were so fortunate that you accepted. In my family, 1 son has been paraplegic for more than 4 years, he has rods in his back and both legs. Pain in back has been constant dweller, very bad.

I have been using the Spring Forest QiGong, and Sword Fingers, with him, for the first time in 4 years he has been able to sleep through night, pain not waking him, much work to be done for day- i am ready for it! Thankyou Vishen, Namaste’ Master Lin
I love you both."

- Nancy F.

"Dear Chunyi Lin,

Thank you so much for sharing your gift, i am so at peace finally, and now understand what it is all about. This is what i have been searching for , all my life! i have now finally come home. Only now can i fully understand the meaning of serving my fellow man and woman, from a place of inner peace and pure love. How could i not have loved myself for so many years? How easy it is to forgive, and to replace it all with love!! I am so grateful for this lesson, and am so blessed to have come in contact with you!!"

- Belita

So you can see that we really didn't have a choice but to set up an interview with him. We were receiving so many questions about Chunyi and qigong, that we had to talk to him about doing an interview to satisfy the amount of requests coming in.

Chunyi was kind enough to share his knowledge once again and this time you'll learn the true reason why qigong and other forms of energy healing work.

He also divulges the 4 essential steps that everyone needs to know in order to heal themselves and others. He even talks about losing weight and vanishing tumors and a Qi-ssage, which is a mixture of qigong healing and massage techniques.

What I love most about Chunyi and his methods of healing is that they're all based on unconditional love, which is something I know all of you have.

P.S. Alright, this is meant for only advanced meditators but he'll even share with you the 5-day advanced cave meditation exercise. It's not for the faint of heart but it's definitely something I'll be working towards.

Does ayahuasca ring any bells?

If you're unfamiliar with this spiritual drug of choice, it's a combination of tree bark, some other plants, and of course the ayahuasca vine. And to those familiar with its street name, it's also known as yaje.

This elixir is definitely not for the novice and is used to achieve a trancelike state that is reputed to cleanse the body and mind and even make connection with the spirit world possible.

What's really surprising is that this type of drug tourism has brought in a huge number of tourists from the western world, with some paying up to thousands of dollars to stay in special lodges and have the natives there guide them through the ayahuasca rituals.

Ayahuasca has been used for every problem you can think of. If you have an emotional, physical, or psychological problem, try ayahuasca. If you have an addiction to prescription drugs, drink some ayahuasca. It's even been purported to allow time travel so that you can go back and confront your childhood traumas. Read More…

Calling all meditators.

This probably has happened to you before. You're out at a party, dinner, or a coffee shop and the topic of meditation comes up. You throw in your 2 cents but there's always someone in the conversation who's a skeptic.

They may make a comment, a joke, or even a sarcastic remark. Well, if you've ever faced anything like that then you need to show them these 4 reasons why everyone, them included, needs to meditate.

How much do you really know about your mind's ability to influence your body? How far have you pushed your mind?

And I mean really pushed your it.

Yes, most of you out there know just how powerful your mind is but have you used it as a tool for healing? A savior for your health? I know these are pretty big words but when you consider the countless stories of people curing the incurable, terminal illnesses disappearing, and rapid recovery from all sorts of ailments using just the mind, it's hard not to call your mind your #1 healer.

While most of you just love going to the doctor's and paying those hefty fees for consultations and pharmaceutical drugs, consider this: A pain-free life, where you are so in tune with your body you know you're going to be sick before it happens. You know exactly how to stop it, heal it, and prevent it.

Sound too good to be true? I used to think so but just check out these stories below: Read More…

Yes, and, if you’re ever been a fan of movies, it almost certainly already has….and not just once.

Movies have inspired us ever since their inception a century ago. Not ALL movies. Certainly not. Films that degrade our humanity with graphic and senseless violence have the opposite effect of inspiration; however, the legacy of film is overflowing with films that show us who we are, and can be, as a species when we operate at our very best.

If we see a particular film at just the right moment in our lives, it can inspire, thrill, and entertain us, and also literally change our perception of who we are.
