Digg it UP - Engaging in the Moment for More Effective Living
Organic Decoy Devices for Warfare (ODDW) r mouth.We can genetically modify a rat to be the same body temperature as a humans, then parachute in several thousand rats into enemy territory. These rats will pick up the enemies advanced warning and intrusion sensors by way of heat signature.The enemy, thus thinks they are a division of troops with heavy armament trying to hide, perhaps interpreting these signatures as thousands of troops with all but a little of their skin showing. Think of the Predator movie where Sylvester Stallone was being hunted by the alien for sport. When “Sly” covered his skin with thick mud only a little heat signature could be seen. Troops with heavy bulletproof vests made of Kevlar with ceramic peck plates and helmets would appear similar and thus the area of a rat would be a similar amou I originally got this idea from Eric Robbie on a training he did with Michael Breen & I tinkered around with it a bit, & it’s a great way of turning off your internal dialogue.

This is particularly important if you want to be able to pick up the clues that people give you about how they’re thinking. Maybe I'll write another article about that internal dialogue.......

Business and life today seems to operate at a faster & faster pace. People have lots of demands on their time, & need every advantage they can get to be more effec Nokia N95: A Phone Par Excellence I spend lots of time working with individuals, corporations and businesses to get them engaged in the present moment. The reasons I think this is important in business as well as personally are drawn upon toward the end of this article.With N –Series, Nokia has proved that, it is the world leader in mobile communications. Nokia N95, which is a heavyweight member of N-series, is the first handset by Nokia, to feature the pioneering HSDPA (3.5 G) technology. HSDPA is the next generation cellular level technology and is 10 times faster than WCDMA. Therefore, it offers you even faster downloading speeds.On Nokia N95, apart from HSDPA, another novel technology, Wifi or Wireless LAN, is also supported. An upgraded A2DP Bluetooth is also present along with IRDA, to make Nokia N95, the perfect 3G handset.Nokia N95 supports a 5 megapixel camera with auto focus, flash and with a Carl Zeiss Optics Tessar lens. Nokia N95 is one of the best camera phones, available on the market these days, with many My centre here in Bournemouth used to sell a wide range of books and one that I used to stock was a book called "The Power of Now" by a guy called Eckhart Tolle. Lots of people that came to classes, workshops and consultations at the centre would often tell me how great it was and give me snippets of information about its content and for a number of years I would occasionally think “Yeah, I really should read that book” then kept on deciding that I would wait until later (yes, I am fully aware of the irony in this!) Nevertheless, I am already sold on the power of the present moment, for a number of reasons: My First reason - Only this present moment exists. I think this is by far the most compelling reason to put your attention on the present moment. Yesterday doesn’t exist, except as a memory, with all the unreliability we know to be true of memories; when you experienced yesterday, it was n-o-w. Tomorrow doesn’t exist either, except as an imaginary construct; when you experience tomorrow, it will be n-o-w. And as it’s all that exists, it’s a good idea to experience it, so, have a go at doing the following… 1) Sit with your feet flat on the floor, in a comfortable, aligned position (spine straight, hands on your thighs or at your sides, breathing comfortably.) With your eyes open or closed, allow yourself to become aware of the different sounds, sights, smells & sensations around you. This is the present moment. That's right. This is the present moment, & there are a number of good reasons for keeping your awareness in the present as much as possible (in addition to the first reason I gave.) My Second Reason - There’s a whole lot more of it in store for you. If you stop for a moment, you will realise that all the experiences of your life will take place in a present moment. The more comfortable you are with the present moment, the more comfortable you’ll be with those future presents. My Third Reason - The present is where you are. If in doubt, look at your hands. Your hands only exist in the present moment. Rub your fingers together, feel how it feels to be in this moment. Because it’s where your hands (& the rest of your body) are located, so… My Fourth Reason - The present is the only time you can take action. You can wish you took action yesterday (so many do; they rue the day that.....), but yesterday no longer exists, so it will remain a wish. You can plan to take action in the future, but when you take the action, it will be in the present moment. The only time you can take action is in this hot second. My Fifth Reason - Wherever you’re headed, you presumably want to enjoy it when you get there. Get in the habit of enjoying the present now & you’ll be even better at enjoying then when you get there. I took some amazing insight from my running experiences with my younger brother. When we ran and trained together and competed in races, he always enjoyed the race and commented on our surroundings whereas I always had my eye on the finish line. So much can and has been said about enjoying and engaging in the journey rather than always focusing on the future. Have a go at this one too.... 2) Gently place the tip of your tongue against the roof of your mouth just behind your front teeth (continue to breathe easily.) Imagine you are holding a tiny droplet of oil between the tip of your tongue & the roof of your mouth.

Yesterday doesn’t exist, except as a memory, with all the unreliability we know to be true of memories; when you experienced yesterday, it was n-o-w. Tomorrow doesn’t exist either, except as an imaginary construct; when you experience tomorrow, it will be n-o-w. And as it’s all that exists, it’s a good idea to experience it, so, have a go at doing the following…Omega 3 fatty acids are essential to the human diet. They support better health, brain function and retinal health. In particular supplements or food sources of Omega 3 that have high amounts of DHA- docoahexaenoic acid supports and alleviates certain health conditions, like Alzheimer’s Disease and Macular Degeneration. EPA-eicosapentoic acid aids in the reduction of inflammatory diseases and injury. ALA-alpha-linolenic acid also plays a part in the support of human health.Omega 3 beef is different from typical beef in that it is fed and grass while typical beef is most often grain fed. Which one is better than the other and offers more potential health benefits? Grass is higher in Omega 3 fatty acids while grains that are fed to animals are higher in Omega 6. 1) Sit with your feet flat on the floor, in a comfortable, aligned position (spine straight, hands on your thighs or at your sides, breathing comfortably.)

Simple question right? Maybe not. So you say you want to lose weight and start living a fit and healthy lifestyle, but are you willing to commit to the changes in your diet and exercise program that will be necessary for you to succeed? If the answer is no and you try jumping head on into a fitness regiment anyways, you run the risk of becoming frustrated, discouraged and worst of all giving up! That is the last thing that you want to do! So before you start trying to create the ideal fit and healthy you, be sure you are ready for it! This is a quick look at the stages of change, as you read through try to identify the stage that you are in currently and think of what it will take for you to reach that next stage.Dr. James Prochaska defi My Second Reason - There’s a whole lot more of it in store for you.

The only time you can take action is in this hot second.Permission marketing can be broadly defined as " Taking permission from potential consumers before sending them an advertisement about your product". By giving an option to a potential consumer, to agree to gain information about your product, the marketer has the advantage of using his resources to target only interested entities.Some excerpts from Seth Godin's views on permission marketing-The biggest problem with mass-market advertising, Godin says, is that it fights for people's attention by interrupting them. A 30-second spot interrupts a "Seinfeld" episode. A telemarketing call interrupts a family dinner. A print ad interrupts this article. "The interruption model is extremely effective when there's not an overflow of interruptions," Godin says.

Your endless toil and great success have been recognized. You have been promoted and now wear the sash, and carry the burden, of leadership. You now have the opportunity to enjoy the rewarding experiences -- and challenges -- that come with the leadership. You now need to go beyond the navigation of personalities of co-workers, and move to managing them. While your workspace may not have changed, you need to mentally and emotionally rise above the cube and workstation where you established that amazing track record. Congratulations, you are a leader. Now what?Believe it or not, it is not that bad. At first, you are sure to experience that uneasy feeling that comes with rapid change. Like the first day at a new school, there are techniques and strate I originally got this idea from Eric Robbie on a training he did with Michael Breen & I tinkered around with it a bit, & it’s a great way of turning off your internal dialogue.

Business and life today seems to operate at a faster & faster pace. People have lots of demands on their time, & need every advantage they can get to be more effective. When I do corporate and business consultancy, one of the most common ‘challenges’ that people want to deal with is being focused & making progress on important business objectives or life goals. As I’ve investigated how people avoid being focused, I’ve found that, they are often not centred in the present. Instead, they are thinking about what’s happening tomorrow, or what happened yesterday, or running through a list of things that they need to do later. As a result, their attention is not in the present. I used to work in Victoria in Central London and if you have ever been there during the rush hours it is a hectic place. What I find interesting is that you can tell who is engaged in the moment and who is thinking about their day or the next day. Those people whose awareness is within their heads, mulling over their day or dreading what's in store tomorrow are the ones bumping into people or veering off in wrong directions. Whereas those people whose awareness is outside their heads and engaged in their surroundings are those that are balanced, poised and agile, like a panther! When you bring your attention & energy into the present moment, you can accomplish things more quickly, solve problems more effectively, & enjoy the process more than you might expect. So, thirdly, have a go at connecting with the moment more and more in your days... 3) Before starting an important task, take a moment to centre yourself & relax. Then, get clear about what you want to accomplish, then begin. I wish you all the very best and hope to engage in the present with many more people here.
