Digg it UP - How To Stay Vital - The First Easy Step
If you have a small budget, or you are very interested in writing your own articles, you should make yourself familiar with the necessary steps required when writing articles for business use. Writing commentary can be a great way to get exposure for your business or website if it is done properly. Your articles have to be informative, effective and provide value. If they fall short, you won't get as much value from your editorial efforts.1. Create a draft for writing your articleBefore you start writing your article, you should begin with a draft of your information. Regardless of whether you are writing a paragraph, an article, or a book you should brainstorm and write down the basic thought or information that you are trying to put across to your audience.Many times a writer will go back to the preliminary form for reference or as a starting point if the first efforts are not to the writer's liking. By preparing a draft you will not need to worry about whether you remembered the points that needed to be covered or what the purpose of the writing was.You may only need a few words or brief sentences for your draft. Writing your thoughts
Stillness is the art of enjoying your own company. Without proving, doing, achieving or wanting, without not wanting or not proving, being real, being yourself. Just stillness. The art of just lying there in bed, together with your lover or alone, in stillness, is a magnificent gift. One that we all have, naturally, if we live in an authentic way.
Being yourself? Who is that? Which self? This is the deepest question you can ask. Which self you want to be. The smaller you define self – i.e. the more accurately you define self, the more ego you have. To say “I am nothing” for example, is the height of egotism. To say “I am everything” is even greater egoism. These definitions of yourself just promote drama and subsequent sleeplessness.
How can you sleep deep when you are being someone. If there is a sense of self, that means you are stuck in your ego, unable to surrender. Sleepless people are stuck in their ego. They might say they are “godly” but really, they don’t understand the difference between emotion and love.
To fall asleep is to fall in love. That is why sex happens so often at night, it puts you in the mood for sleep because it
It is not often that a person buys a car without taking a car loan. Most car sales are completed with a car loan. When applying for a car loan, you have to decide on the car you intend to buy, keeping in mind your budget, the price, the type of car and unexpected maintenance costs.Then, find a loan you can afford. To do this, get quotes from all finance companies, and match them to your requirements. The best means of obtaining car loan quotes is by comparing the rates of used car loans, new car loans and car title loans offered by the different car loan companies. Compare the interest rates, upfront margin to be paid, and the pre-payment clause of the different loans from different companies. Also find out what the monthly payment is, the duration of the loan repayment, the percentage of the car price that is being taken as a loan, and any other incentives or discounts that the finance companies offer. You could use online car loan calculators to do this. Once you find the car loan that fits your budget and expectations, you can apply for it.Those with bad credit need not fret, as there are bad credit loans available. Whatever car loans you apply for
Sleep deprivation affects over 50% of the western world. Its effect is devastating. Changing mood, concentration, happiness, health, vitality and emotional balance. Sleep deprivation is a hidden gremlin that lurks behind so many of our day to day problems. Depression, exhaustion, anger, frustration, laziness, mental fatigue, poor decision making, anxiety, fear, relationship breakdown, impotence, sexual performance drop, abuse, violence, alcohol addiction and obesity.
Sleep deprivation affects over 50% of the people you know, and yet, they will say their problems are not associated with poor sleep or the lack of it. 50% of your friends will be visiting chiropractors, health food shops, health farms, yoga classes, exercise programs, beauticians, doctors and taking “magic herbs” to deal with issues that at their root, come from sleep deprivation.
How long we need for sleep is an individual thing. Some people are able to get away with 4 hours a night, others, like me, need a solid 8 hour sleep to manage a healthy life sustainably. Some need more. My old friend Athena Starwoman (RIP) used to sleep 18 hours a day, and wake up ready to do her astrology charts. She said she worked best in her sleep.
The social circumstances surrounding our increasing sleep deprivation are:
a. Computers and telephones stimulate the nervous system upsetting bodyrythms.
b. Television keeps us awake and stimulated when we should be getting ready for sleep
c. Higher than normal levels of mental complexity (we are stuck in our head all day)
d. Low physical demands – we are not physically tired at night, so urge to sleep not high
e. We are dehydrated and we eat too much too late of an evening
f. Tea, coffee and sugar lasts 4-5 hours to falsely stimulate blood pressure (keeps awake)
g. We have lost the art of the bedroom ritual.
h. All night dance parties are becoming popular (it takes a week to recover from that)
These are the reasons we don’t sleep as much as we need to. But more important than the hours of sleep, is the quality. So much research has been done on the quality of sleep, and the effect of sleep that is not deep. The results are astonishing. 12 hours of poor sleep is not even equivalent to 2 hours of deep REM sleep. This explains why some people only need a few hours sleep and others need more. The quality of the sleep makes the difference.
Sleep quality is affected by many things. To maximize the quality of your sleep consider the following.
1. Create two beds side by side, one for you and one for them. The beds can be joined but because temperature affects sleep more than any other single thing, try to manage your own heat (bed clothes and blankets) independently. Women typically need 10 degrees more heat to sleep comfortably at night than men.
2. Be light. Don’t eat or drink within 2 hours of going sleep. Preferably 3. This is the cause of many people staying up late. They eat late and can’t sleep. So they stay up and watch TV and then eat because they can’t sleep. Etc
3. Sleep ritual. A healthy person takes between 15 and 20 minutes to fall asleep at night once they are in bed. Faster than that reveals over tired. Longer than that reveals hyperactive mind. Hyperactive minds come from working near bedtime, watching TV near bedtime, and worst of all, being exposed to computer screens within an hour of going to bed. Bed ritual means the journey to sleep is a half hour gradual slow down with minimal talk and some personal ritual.
4. Slow down, enjoy the peace. Reading, watching TV in bed and talking too much before bed (especially on the phone) causes sleep quality to drop below the threshold of 50% value (need twice as much)
5. Do physical exercise. You body must want rest. Food fed to your body turns to fat if you don’t use it. Fat keeps you awake at night because it wants to burn. There must be at least a 40 minute exercise session in which your heart rate is above 60-70% MHR.
6. Cool your Mind. A person who is not looking forward to tomorrow is in resentment. A person who is hyperventilating about tomorrow is in infatuation. Both are hyper and this causes the heat in the mind and blood that keeps people awake, or out of depth of sleep. The best thing to do before you go to lie in bed is prepare a list of tomorrow. If it is so exciting that you are wishing it would come now, then think of some negatives that will come tomorrow. If you are resenting tomorrow, think of the good news, or change the plan.
7. Lie on your back. It takes 6 weeks to develop the habit of sleeping on your back, but it improves the quality of your sleep by affecting your breathing, body relaxation and more. Use the right height pillow and don’t cross your legs. (of course if you snore then ………)
8. Create the Thank you Attitude. Sleep is such a potent part of our lives. It deserves the same effort as work and love and health. We sleep for 30% of our existence on this earth. Why not make it amazing? To do so, I suggest the appreciation ritual, alone or with lover.
The appreciation ritual is the process of going over the past 24 hours and mentally, or quietly with partner, listing everything you can be thankful for, for that whole period. Then add the whole week, the year and finally your life. If you do this in bed, you’ll sleep more than most and better.

These recommendations are very important. They really help your quality of sleep but they really come naturally to us when we understand the gift of stillness. The person who does not like their own company will not sleep well. Guilt, shame, anger, victim hood and more emotions make it hard to be alone with yourself. So good sleep is one of the best rewards for a good life, a real life.

Lack of understanding and old thinking has long cost small business owners their competitive edge and despite a steady stream of research proving the effectiveness of Internet marketing, yet again, it has mostly been larger firms taking advantage of this new advertising medium.According to projections by eMarketer.com, online ad spending in 2005 grew by more than 30%, surpassing the $10 billion mark for the first time. But many small and medium-size business owners (SMEs) are still wary of introducing Internet marketing to their business plans. If you listen to their reasoning, the Internet might be considered as the fax machine once was: unnecessary, unproven and not cost effective.Well, today ignoring the benefits of an Internet marketing strategy can cost them far more in lost profits than choosing postal mail over faxes. Recently a study was done to determine the top 3 reasons small businesses have been reluctant to fully embrace the increasingly relevant Internet in their marketing plans. The results showed similar misconceptions on both sides of the Atlantic as to what Internet marketing is, and what it can do for their business.Myth #1: "

Privatization is the transfer of the services that used to belong to the state to the enterprises of the private sector. It is done free of any charge and also on a voluntary and free will basis. It can be realized in relation to the private residence as well as to big manufacturing plants and enterprises.A public enterprise is defined by CARICAD studies as “an institution either wholly owned by Government or in which Government owns a majority share, that sells goods and services in the market and has its own management entrusted with the task of running the organization.”There are many strong arguments for the privatisation of public corporations which can be studied in four categories of Economic, Ideological and Political and Organizational. Before these arguments are discussed it is critical to give a brief overview of the emergence of privatisation in the world. In developed and developing countries, privatisation is one of the most revolutionary innovations in the recent history of economic policy. The policy of privatisation of public enterprises has been adopted and implemented variably at the global level since the 1980s. The British Prime

Web designing entails use of a whole gamut of tools - for text, graphics, menus, animation, navigation design, color selection, font selection, authoring, programming and ecommerce development. The use of technologically advanced and effective tools ensure that the website attracts target audience and lists high in the search engines and directories.Different tools are used in different aspects of web designing. Text links use HTML meta tags, graphic links use graphics along with navigation buttons, drop down menus use JavaScript and CGI among others, and special effects need tools such as Macromedia Flash and Adobe Photoshop. By far, Macromedia and Adobe Photoshop are the most commonly used tools in web design. Certain graphic designers also use Macromedia DreamWeaver. Flash helps in animation that if used well, can be an attractive feature in a website. Visual Basic is the most common language for scripting and SQL with other database engines are used for database management on the website. Templates are also used for the layout of a web page.Apart from tools that make the site presentable and easily navigable, there are also content creation tools t

I do get my share of emails asking me what it is like owning an online dating site. A lot of guys have this perception that I’m a owner of a harem of ladies that I’m trying to get rid of. They tell me how lucky I am to be surrounded by such beautiful ladies. I hate to shatter their dreams, but I own no one and as beautiful as these ladies are, the work put in to running an online dating site is 90% grunt work. I spend very little time looking at the ladies bios or pictures. Once I have them on the site, the next time I may look at their picture or bio is if I get a request to do so.So why do I do it? Those times that two people do find each other makes that 90% grunt work worth it. Also, I have this sense of obligation. That is how I met Liza. To me, meeting her was a miracle and I want everyone to find what we found.Money? Don’t get me started but that is the last reason I run an online dating site. Many think I’m raking in thousands of dollars. Not so. I charge $25 for a year membership. Last year my business reported a loss and I’m sure I will do the same this year. The biggest misconception that people have is it cost nothing to run a dating site.

To fall asleep is to fall in love. That is why sex happens so often at night, it puts you in the mood for sleep because it can, or should at least, put you in the mood for love. So when we talk about insomnia, or lack of sleep, poor preparation for sleep, or a person who stays up because they don’t want to go to bed, the real reason is they just don’t feel lovable, and therefore can’t find stillness.
So, there’s the first of the three simple steps to long life vitality. Find stillness. Finding stillness requires that you learn the art of “Stepping away” Stepping away means being nothing. Just being nothing. It means walking for no reason. Kissing for no reason. It means sitting under a tree for no reason. Reasonlessness… if that is a word.
It’s getting harder and harder to leave without reason. Everything is reasonable. Reason is what children are taught is behind everything. Reason for this and a reason for that. “Why did you do that?” – “I don’t know” – “oh, come on, there must be a reason” When we always answer our children’s questions of “WHY?” with a reason, they loose the essence of reasonlessness. Just the art of being nothing, not being.
Children who can’t sleep are children with only reasons. There is no reason to fall asleep, we don’t need one. It is just time to surrender, and be ourselves. If we are taught always to be someone, do someone, act someone or become someone then sleep is hard to achieve, because in bed, no matter where we are, we are with ourselves. We are us. Reasonlessly.
Nature is the greatest teacher of stillness. If we go outside in nature and sit in a park, very soon we get restless. Because we aren’t the most important thing in the park. We are looking at the park, we are a part of the park but we don’t own, control, manage, plan, design, care for, possess or even reject the park. We are in the park but not the dominant force. So we get restless – sometimes we get restless because there is too much stillness. Or we become overwhelmed with the beauty, too much beauty overwhelms us, our sense of self is lost.
The best sleep comes to a body that’s done a days exercise, to a mind that’s thankful, to a heart that’s loving. But the deepest sleep of all comes to a person who is in love with stillness. They are the ones who can die to the day, and be reborn to the morning anew.
