After Reading THIS, you’ll NEVER look at a banana in the same way again!

Bananas: Containing three natural sugars – sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber, a banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy. Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world’s leading athletes.

But energy isn’t the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Depression: According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana.

This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.

I just watch a recent phenomenon, it’s call the “in” thing. Be it fashion item
(clothing, accessories, shoes), electronics (plasma TV, Mac, I Pod,
Blackberry, etc, etc) or some other things that I missed out. They all have
common traits:
1. They are all perceived as “necessary” while they are not, you can live a
normal live without them.
2. They all drive emotion and cloud judgment.
3. They create mass misinterpretation.

One of the most memorable case studies on Japanese management was the case of the empty soap box, which happened in one of Japan’s biggest cosmetics companies.The company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a soap box that was empty.

Immediately the authorities isolated the problem to the assembly line, which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to the delivery department. For some reason, one soap box went through the assembly line empty. Management asked its engineers to solve the problem. Post-haste, the engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with high-resolution monitors manned by two people to watch all the soap boxes that passed through the line to make sure they were not empty. No doubt, they worked hard and they worked fast but they spent whoopee amount to do so.

But when a rank-and-file employee in a small company was posed with the same problem, did not get into complications of X-rays, etc but instead came out with another solution. !

He bought a strong industrial electric fan and pointed it at the assembly line. He switched the fan on, and as each soap box passed the fan, it simply blew the empty boxes out of the line.

Moral of the story: Always look for simple solutions. Devise the simplest possible solution that solves the problem So, learn to focus on solutions not on problems.

In this article I will be covering a peak-performance strategy that top sports-people and professional communicators use all over the world. It is called mental rehearsal, which is widely known about, only the difference here is that we will incorporate several NLP distinctions into the process to maximize the positive effect of this mental conditioning.

Neuro Linguistic Programming or NLP is the study of human excellence and by utilizing NLP you can be at your best when you need to be in a job interview.

Step 1 – Define how you want to perform in the interview

Describe to yourself in words the way you want to be. How would you look and sound to a neutral observer? e.g. I see myself in an interview room sitting by a desk. I look relaxed, and I am smiling, alert and energetic. I am paying close attention to the other people in the room. My posture is upright and I am making conversation easily and effortlessly. I exude confidence.

You become what you think about most of the time.

You become what you think about most of the time. And the most important part of each day is what you think about at the beginning of that day.

Start Your Day Right
Take 30 minutes each morning to sit quietly and to reflect on your goals. You’ll find when you read the biographies and autobiographies of successful men and women that almost everyone of them began their upward trajectory to success when they begin getting up early in the morning and spending time with themselves.

Everyone has the ability to attain his or her highest potential, which is limitless. It all begins in the mind. Learn to use inner feng shui by creating positive energy inside your head. That will activate the chi that helps you make your dreams come true. Train your mind to think in empowering ways, always positive, always generous, never shackled by insecurities and negative emotions. This is the way to tutor your consciousness so the attainment of desires becomes easy. Here LILLIAN TOO shares are 18 powerful ways to make your mind tune itself to creating positive energy, to help strengthen the yang side of your consciousness.

1. Move Your Goal Posts

Do not wait till it is too late to realize your goals may simply be far too small, too mediocre or too vague to excite you very much. So many of us are afraid to set higher standards and higher goals for ourselves, so we aim low, satisfied with mediocrity. Setting easily achievable goals can never really excite us, because we know deep inside that in the end, our success is not enough for us. You may be able to fool the world, but you sure cannot fool yourself.

A small goal is a small goal. But a large goal is something else again. When your goal is seemingly difficult or even impossible, it takes on a magical aura. It lives and breathes, and provides powerful motivational energy. It is there with you in the mornings when you wake up, and there with you when you sleep. You can taste it, smell it and feel it. You will doodle about it, write about it, speak about it as it fills your life with a purpose of stunning clarity. So move your goal posts if you are indeed setting your sights too low.

2. Discover Your Key

Find out what really galvanizes and excites you. When you know what button to press to get you enthusiastic, it is like discovering the key to making your life one long enchanting journey. So many of us do not really know what we want, nor appreciate the potential we have of finding permanent happiness. The wise men of all traditions tell us that the beginning of experiencing real happiness is to understand the true nature of happiness. Then only can we find the special key that will bring happiness to us.

We have taller buildings, but shorter tempers;
wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints;

We spend more, but have less;
We buy more, but enjoy it less.
We have bigger houses and smaller families;
more conveniences, but less time;

We have more degrees, but less common sense;
more knowledge, but less judgment;
more experts, but more problems;
more medicine, but less wellness.

We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life;
we’ve added years to life, not life to years.
We build more computers to hold more information,
to produce more copies than ever, but have less communication;

We’ve been all the way to the moon and back,
but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor.
We’ve conquered outer space, but not inner space;
We’ve done many things, but not better things;
We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul;
We have higher incomes; but lower morals;
more acquaintances, but fewer friends;

Indeed it’s all true. Think about it…read it again.
