Powerful Goal Setting

To set goals to become reality, we must have goals that have 6 criteria, and you can remember the initial: EMAPTA What do these Acronyms mean?

Exact: Goals and objectives should be specific! A goal that means "lose weight" or "have more money next year" has no value. We have to be specific, saying for example "I will lose 14 kilos" or "I will increase my income from 500 to 1000 dollars a month." In this particular case as I have set specific goals for 2009 "Down 1 kilo of weight per month."

Measurable: Your objectives and goals must be measurable. "Be Healthy" is not measurable, but have 12 kg less or lower-class 34 to 32 if they are. The vast majority of people do not achieve their goals because they do not consider measurable achievements. Again, we are reinforcing the message: to have measurable goals, your mind will pursue that goal and be more focused on a goal.

Adjusted: Goals and objectives are complicated as time passes we are not very motivating. You need goals to make you leave your comfort zone, those goals that make you think and take massive action (such as double your income in 6 months), that thought generates more adrenaline, more energy in you.

Purpose: Have you ever thought to do something just do not have the motivation to achieve it? If you think about it, the goals do not create motivation, are only the addresses you want to go. What could motivate you truly are the purposes behind the goals. This "why" is very important. So, after setting the goal (like losing 1 kg per month), then you should think and write the reasons why it is important to you. Only when the "Why" is strong enough you will have the motivation to take action. In my case it's health: I have to stay healthy for my family to enjoy as many years as possible. If my health were to deteriorate as a result of obesity, then they suffer a lot and would be very sad. My kids and I would miss them too. That's a big motivation for me.

Time Limit: We must set a time limit; usually people do not set limits on "when" they want to achieve their goals. The vast majority says to you, "someday" they started a business, so they set the day but do not say to him "that day." Many people are still waiting.

Action: Finally we have a plan of action. As I mentioned in my previous article "how to generate goals come true", we should all have an action plan to implement our goals, and I always found to comply at least 3 shares on the first day, and if possible, 1 share in the first 5 minutes of writing the goal.

In the example I'm showing, I decided to lose weight, my first action was to enumerate all the factors associated with obesity, which may affect my health. Secondly, I searched the Internet a place where I could get recipes for salads. My third step was to take pictures of when I was in college; there I am with a pant size lower. You see, were 3 actions I took in less than a day, and that gave me enough momentum to continue with the other actions planned to achieve my goal.

Go ahead, think about a goal you want to accomplish, to generate meaning in your life, and applying the EMAPTA, I hope you will generate sufficient clarity in the future.

Learn To Control Your Character

Character is something that differentiates us significantly from others. Some people are more temperamental, are pure fire. By contrast there are quieter than just take it out and sometimes overwhelm even leave...

Ideally, this issue is to find the balance, that balance is called assertiveness. Assertiveness is the ability to leave a comment and not be controlled or manipulated by others. All this without using hurtful words or blame, but from the settlement, a good understanding and putting the resolution as a basic principle. At the same time be firm and not allow abuse of your goodwill.

But a wild character is going to do more harm than good. I encourage you to leave behind the excuse "I am well" and do a little effort to begin controlling your character, because in the end the only harmed is you because of this lack of control.

Count to ten before exploding and rethink.

Operates normally when the character is an automatic reactive effect. Do not think, something happens and the progress of your blood begins to boil and explode.

What I propose is that you count to ten in that moment and breathe deeply. Once you've done that, start to think about what is best for you, what suits you best. Usually avoids an explosion of adverse and devastating effects on others.

Training

Many women ask me every day. But how to control my temper? It is very difficult. The answer is training.

Every muscle in our body need exercise, and forget the brain is a muscle. And the first day we can do a triple somersault, but with a common training, can work wonders.

Try again and again, though not often one can achieve it. Please try again, you reflect on what went wrong last time and try again correcting the deficiencies you observe.

It is very important not to lose heart at this time. Nothing in life is learned without practice, practice, practice.

Use external influences

We have many mechanisms that can help us control our character both as to change states of mind that we are not satisfied, or achieve a desired mood.

For example, music is one of the most effective mechanisms to achieve states of mind, we can relax, feel energized, get nervous, mourn or wanting to eat the world.

A good comedy can make you change your mood. I remember once many years ago I went to the movies with my partner, by the way we fight. The film was a comedy "Dumb and Dumber", shortly after the movie started the laughter broke out and took our anger.

Use the resources made available around you to change your mood and your character does not operate as easily preventing you from achieving your goals.

Anxiety and Failure

Anxiety dulls the intellect. Thus, anxious people are more likely to fail despite their high scores on their IQ.

Anxiety affects any kind of performance. This kind of concern is a negative cognitive interference when it is inserted into a situation that requires our attention; it invades all attempts to achieve concentration. This is because the concern detracts from the resources available to process information in a cognitive task.

If we focus on the concern of failing we devote less attention to clarify responses. Therefore, Goleman says that "our concerns become self-fulfilling prophecies, pushing us to predict disaster."

People who are adept at using their emotions can take the anxiety to motivate and prepare well for a good performance. A euphoric state can promote creative activities that require fluency and imagination, like humor, which favors the ability to think with greater flexibility and complexity. But if the euphoria gets out until it became a mania, as in bipolar disorder, the agitation weakens the ability to think coherently.

Mild mood changes can influence thinking. At the time of making decisions or carry out projects of people who are in a good mood, they tend to be more communicative and have a positive mindset. Memory depends on the particular mood, so that when we are in a good mood, it is easier for a person to remember positive events.

On the other hand, when we are in a bad mood we tend to take negative directions because we cannot see or think clearly. People in a bad mood cannot coherently grasp what must be done because they are more engrossed with their bad feelings, thus when one is in a bad mood one must take a more cautious decision.

From the standpoint of emotional intelligence, hope protects against defeatism and depression when facing difficulties or setbacks.

Techniques To Lower The General Level Of Anxiety

Exercise

Proper exercise helps to tone muscle, avoiding both the rigidity and excessive activation of the nervous system, causing fatigue that promotes healthy sleep and calm excessive musings and ruminations.

If your fitness is unfortunate (feelings of dizziness, vertigo, nausea) and cannot tolerate intense exercise, you can choose to divide it into small pieces throughout the day and from a gentle pace, until you get to efforts of more substance.

It is preferable to practice a fun sport fun that you have enjoyed in the past. That way it will give us greater satisfaction than cold and heavy gymnastics.

Slowdown

Faced with a stressful situation imposes a certain reduction of our aspirations. We cannot force the pace to fit more things in the same period of time, and must be selected with relevant criteria, trying to delegate or defer the rest.

Slow means slow down our movement by forcing a "walking speed,'' basking in the perfection and polishing what we have at hand. For example, write with very good hand, selecting words and phrases, expand, going into details and considerations, review the work and creative small improvements.

The feelings of emptiness can be filled with something to help us in our daily life like trying out a hobby. Slow down and have fun, play and relax. Life is not a race. Go and smell the flowers!

Planning activities

The wisdom and cunning in planning our activities is another useful tool to defuse tensions, knowing when to insert appropriate breaks to relieve anxiety or changing the type of task to a softer or bearable one.

We must not forget that after the day we are to satisfy different needs and not neglect them is a way to harmonize, spending time with friends, do our readings, music and personal pleasures, with moments of emotional contact. As different as we are from others, we need to review and strengthen the relationships and bonds that hold our friendships, family and relationships together.

Art tip: Scarification

Without a doubt, one of the art shows on the skin that is emerging with force is scarification. But do you really know what they are? Here is a brief history of tattoos such as these that are used today.

At first the scarification came from great tribes of Africa and Australia where elderly witches through a ritual cutting generated in people to move from childhood to adulthood. These marks on the body or face are made by cutting the skin and creating various forms once the wound heals and the scars appear. The process for doing this is simple, it marks the first lines of the drawing, without letting it heal completely, and then it is wounded again to re-open. Thus, repeated over and over again, opening the wounds. They even add more volume by giving ointments or even color.

Today, many people are taking this ancient practice to bring it into the skin just for aesthetics. We can see various designs from words to pictures. More often the scalpel is passed over the scar. This "relief" is called keloid. The good combination of small red marks also achieves original results, and there are a lot of good creative artists that offer an array of designs. Check before choosing the scalpel that will mark you for life.

It is extremely important to know that to make this type of mark, requires a competent person who is competent with the knife. Aside from good technique, the person must also maintain good hygiene. Unlike conventional tattoos that require comprehensive care and regenerative creams, scarification requires a rather careless way of healing so to speak, since it is very important that the area must have a "wound" sore or ulcer for the desired effect, which is a keloid scar, to make the desired design come to fruition.

Subdermal implants

We have previously presented to a young American (Jesse Thornhill ), who had horns with implants under the skin of his skull. These horns are best known as subdermal implants.

The origin of the word comes from the decomposition of the same: "sub" (below) and "dermal (skin). Well this is what they are: implants under the skin, but what is added and how is it implemented? Nothing more, nothing less than stainless steel.

So balls, rods, rings or small stainless steel tubes under the skin are added, causing these skin enhancements to take form of the implant. With these rings are created not only horns on the forehead, like with tattoos or body plugs , imagination is the limit. The enhancements in the skin ranging from horns to scales or simulations of animal skins and features are easily achieved.

Currently more than 50,000 people around the world have this type of art implants. So if you're somebody who really likes attention and /or be original and unique, here's this new option of self expression and style statement. Only this warning:

One, you must be sure you're not allergic to the material , because your body might reject it and thereby have consequences, and two, you must have a high pain tolerance, because anesthesia is not used for this procedure.

But, on the other hand, if you regret or you get tired of these implants, the solution is easy: you make a cut near the place where you have the implants and they are extracted. Yes, it is that simple, you just remove them and everything returns to normal (with the maximum risk of a scar that eventually may disappear).

As always, it is highly recommended that you go to a specialist if you want to do this or have other implants in mind. Do not do this extreme body modification all by yourself.

Body Modification: Interviewing an Expert

The tongue splitting is a type of body modification that involves dividing the tongue in two from the tip toward the base, in most cases this is achieved through traditional surgery (scalpel) or by laser surgery.

In some cases, prior to the bifurcation it is necessary to implement a wide piercing at the base of what will be the fork in the tongue; this facilitates the operation and the healing of the tongue.  It produces a different visual effect from the cut with a scalpel and from the one performed with the piercing.

Finally, one can say that surgery process is not strictly necessary, it is possible to get a fork of the tongue by a progressive enlargement of a tongue piercing, this process is however very tedious and painful.

Any questions you have about these matters, I suggest you get in touch with an expert in body modification, like Jonathan Martinez.

"My name is Jonathan Martinez, born in 1980 in Valencia, Venezuela to Spanish parents, I started doing my first drilling in 1996, motivated by magazines of the time bands in my own body first served" laboratory "to begin to realize that was what was right and what is not, over time my friends who offered to be boring and I was taking a little more practice. In 1997, at 17, started working in a Studio City, then there was no place in the country where they do some kind of way and access to materials was almost impossible, so I was forced to be free-hand ring, used jewelry made by myself, until the rise of piercing grew so much that it was all more accessible by suppliers of specialized equipment.

In 2000 I started working on a new Studio (Tattoo Gallery), along with a highly regarded professional in the country, Javier Maestre, who joined the body modification knowledge that he had been studying and researching, and with the advice a doctor called, we took the first steps in terms of advanced body modification.

Gallery Tattoo Work until 2006, when I decided to come to Spain permanently, after having followed the career of Business Administration, which culminates with the realization of a very interesting project to form the first Association of Tattooists and rings in the country, project on political, economic and social could not be carried out.

I have enough experience and knowledge to perform almost any drilling and many of the body modifications that exist today. Usually work in Spain, now in Chemical Tattoo, and occasionally visited the Cherry Tattoo in Rome.
