What Triggers Insomnia? Success to Treat it...
Sleep disorders and difficulties are experienced in people for an assortment of reasons. Pain, stress, medications, alcohol, cigarettes and caffeine are major contributors of insomnia.
Resolving and eliminating these causes will enable people on their own to get the needed sleep and overcome the chronic inability to either fall asleep or keep sleeping.
However, insomniacs habituate their belief that they lack sufficient sleep causing deeper problems and requiring outside intervention.
To help treat insomnia may begin with developing habits of good sleep hygiene and hypnosis; eliminating noise levels, avoiding excess foods, alcohol, cigarettes and excessive exercise several hours before bedtime.
Learning hypnosis will bring your level of sleep deeper and sounder for waking fully rested with more energy following sleep.
Personal hypnosis sessions are easily done over the Internet with all the privacy associated with going to an office. In fact you may want to download our free session room to see first hand the facilities I use to assist people from around the world.
Note: there are private codes for entry during any session.

Growth and Development - Hypnosis
In the psychological development of all of us we must concern ourselves with the embryonic state or the nine-month period of fetal growth. Specialists tell us that there is a critical period in prenatal development during which both favorable and unfavorable genetic and biological processes may take place.
Biologists tell us that in the growth of the embryo, as specific organs develop, there appears to be a specific time sequence for their development. Should anything interfere, it is felt, the developing organ does not gain a second chance. Hence, in the case of a pregnant woman becoming afflicted with German measles, for example, the embryo can and often does become adversely affected.
Whether after birth a negative psychological atmosphere can also adversely affect an infant, while open to controversy, is largely accepted by the majority of psychologists today as true. Conversely, providing a warm, affectionate, loving and secure environment for the infant supports and stimulates favorable growth. It is felt that the first year of a child's life is the "critical" period. See writings by E. H. Erikson, "Childhood and Society" (Norton Publishing Co.), for support of this hypothesis.
Inherent growth or development from infancy is called "maturation." The experience of maturation and its influences is called "learning."
Other than to suck, cry and teach, most of what we come to know and be is learned. We learn to become whatever we may be, though dependent upon biological, environmental and developmental processes both before and after birth. With positive organic development, two other inherent capabilities are evident in humans and other mammals; they are seeing and hearing.
These are the bio-physiological aids to life as provided by nature. But behaviorally, remember our "talents" at birth are extremely limited. We have to be taught, trained, disciplined - and then, with some natural curiosity, we learn how to become members of our society, Maturation after birth then takes many turns and innumerable experiences. Most of which are learned.
While maturation lasts a lifetime, it is in the study of infants and growth (from birth) that scientists have been able to predict behavior for later on in life. E. H. Erikson and Jean Piaget are the two most prominent scientists who have investigated the phenomena of early development.
The student must remember that the regularity (or lack) of the time sequence of development determines growth, maturation and behavior. Stages of orderly maturation vary from child to child; some children learn to walk before others. Environment varies; consequently the effect of maternal love, stroking and affection (or lack) can determine or retard development, physically, emotionally and psychologically.
We go through different stages of development, dependent: upon our heredity, environment, and the orderly (or lack) maturation of our physiology and mentality.
Many studies show that motor development is more maturation than learning, indicating growth more from within than without. Here is where the growth of neural, muscle and fat tissue is more decisive than environmental influences.
Maturation, then, plus motor development are necessary for learning and behavior. It is important to note that stimulation to learning in childhood is dependent upon the maturation or maturity of the child. A child will not become stimulated unless his development has matured to that point of readiness to learn. This is why children differ in learning to walk, talk and play.
The difference is not in the age but in sequence of maturation, mentally and organically. It can then be seen that the degree of maturation invites the appropriate stimulation and not necessarily the age of the child.
From these bare-bone beginnings come the development of personality and social behavior.
Studies clearly show that the interaction of mother to child in infancy is a crucial (critical) period. Bottle-fed babies held by the mother who croons, sings, strokes and cradles the infant in her arms adjust to life as well as breast-fed babies.
Opposed to this would be the propping of a bottle against a pillow and the departure of the mother with no contact or loving interaction. Studies show that many of these infants grow up to have emotional problems. When we talk about interaction of mother to child we are talking about loving interaction, for it is well known that a tense "uptight" mother can transmit her feelings to an infant.
Heartbeat studies show that a tense mother stimulates tenseness in the infant, regardless of how the baby is fed Therefore, as a child's training (learning) begins at birth, one can easily see the effects of environment on personality, emotional growth and maturity. Influences beginning at birth are called "cultural" effects, and begin with feeding, nursing and maternal care. Later comes toilet training, (discipline), and in the process the psychological effects are stamped on the child permanently.
Also, in the satisfaction (or lack) of hunger pangs, distress at wetness, cold or heat. The experts tell us that how the feeding experience is handled determines the attitude of the infant to the world about him. A hungry baby is an exceedingly unhappy, distressed and tortured child. Just listen to a hungry baby cry to appreciate the pain he is undergoing.
On the other hand, view the utter contentment of a baby who has been lovingly held by his mother while fully satisfying his basic hunger drive. These infant-era experiences determine more about how a person shall be than any other experiences in our lives; for this is the beginning.
A good beginning can mean a happy, well-adjusted intelligent adult later on. And the reverse can be true, and may be the cause of many of our social problems today. It is well then for the hypnotist to understand the effects of where and how it all begins for all of us in infancy and early childhood.
In discussing maturation does this apply to such mundane matters as toilet training? Yes, indeed. A baby who is forced into toilet training before he is ready (mature) will acquire emotional problems, as will the mother who senses failure. Time sequence in maturation is as important in disciplining (learning) as in formation of the embryo before birth, and children differ in their readiness to respond to toilet training.

HALLUCINATIONS
HALLUCINATIONS
Many stage hypnotists delight in placing their chosen subjects in trance, handing them onions, and after telling them that they are holding a sweet roll, advise them to start eating.
The subjects then show their pleasure as they munch on the onions just as if they would something sweet. This is one form of hallucination through hypnosis.
Another is to tell a hypnotized person or group that when they open their eyes (waking hypnosis) they will see on a wall, directly opposite to where they are sitting, a sad or a happy movie.
If a sad movie is directed, the watchers will demonstrate exceedingly sorrowful facial expressions, some may even cry. If a happy one is indicated you can be sure that the hypnotized subjects will laugh, smile, grin, and at times become convulsed with laughter.
Another form of hallucination is to wave a bottle of ammonia under the hypnotized person's nose and tell him that what he smells is perfume. He will breathe in the fumes and show every evidence of pleasure, just as if he actually smelled perfume.
Still another example is to tell a hypnotized subject in a group that another person of the group has left the room and that when he opens his eyes he will not see the "departed" person.
The other person is told to remain in the room with the others, but when the group is awakened and the first person is asked where the other one has gone he will say something like, "out of the room." Even though he is now awake, he will not "see" the second person a few feet away. This, of course, is post-hypnotic suggestion, but is nevertheless categorized as an hallucination.
Yet another form is to tell hypnotized subjects that when they open their eyes a small animal (cat, puppy, rabbit, etc.) will be sitting on their laps. On becoming awake the group will be observed petting their imaginary animals. (This demonstration should be done only after ascertaining that the subjects love animals.)
The forms of hallucinatory demonstrations are almost endless. We include these examples to help explain that hypnosis is indeed an "altered state of consciousness." Certainly on the conscious level no one would comply so readily with the instructions indicated above.
We have often wondered how those few psychologists who have questioned hypnosis and who claim that similar demonstrations can be done on the conscious level, would explain either regression or hallucination.

Let Your Mouse Do The Shopping!
Unquestionably you have to mouse around the Internet to get the best deals. Clearly, just like in the brick and mortar world, the lowest price is not always the best deal. But in my case it was!
The other day I was snooping around the Internet to purchase Article Submitter so that I could reduce the time it has taken me submitting articles on the net.
So like many would do - I clicked Google search for Article Submitter and up popped a dozen or so choices to click on. The first site I clicked on brought up Magic Article Submitter – that’s not what I wanted to buy so I click on another Article Submitter and there it was.
Next I paged down the site and reviewed all the bonuses etc., with the usual claim “This Offer Is Limited.” I paged down a little further and found the asking price of $97.00
In the past I had received spam mail promoting Article Submitter for upwards of $197.00. The shopper in me said search around for a lower price and that is exactly what I did.
While searching, for the next 12 minutes, I had found three lower prices – $47.00, $14.00 and “Bingo” $9.75.
My skeptical mind log on to the one thought – is it fully functional at $9.95 and what is the hook? Having nothing to lose but a few pennies at $9.95 I clicked to purchase the product - paid for the product and downloaded it. And yes it is fully functional - no HOOKS – I have it up and running and it works fine!
Moral of the story: Mouse around on the Internet! A little time can save you a lot of money…
By-the-way – all promotional sites in each price range were similar in features and benefits - with exception to the free goodies and “Limited Time Offer”…

Proven Easy, Lucrative and Fun way to make money online
Let me ask you this question. What is one of the most
memorable experiences you have had in your business
opportunity recruiting days?
I bet it is, and I am probably not far off, when someone
is very positive and over joyed about what you have shown
them.
Everyone remembers the persons who have such positive and
vibrant energy. The "Oh that sounds wonderful" person.
The sad and frustrating part is that those people are very
few and far in between. Have you ever asked your self why?
Because, 80% of the worlds wealth is controlled by 93% of
the world's population!
Where are the nay sayers in their life, the ones who call
your ideas and opportunities scams? Are they rich? Are they
well off? Are they really where they want to be in life?
And most importantly with their negative attitude, will
they ever be?
The ones who were upbeat and out going, and "made things
happen"... where are they? Allot better off than the
nay sayers right?
Listen, have you ever met someone who is extremely
successful, but who is also the most negative person you
have ever met?
=====> IT IS NOT POSSIBLE!!
The law of attraction states that like attract like. At
opportunitymeetingplace.com you will only attract people
who are as upbeat, positive and entrepreneurial as you are!
Go back to those few positive people you have met, wasn't it

THE COMMON DENOMINATOR OF SUCCESS
THE COMMON DENOMINATOR OF SUCCESS
Adapted from Albert E.N. Gray
Compliments of Don L. Price
Several years ago I was brought face to face with the very disturbing realization that I was trying to research and explain what it took to be a success in sales, without knowing myself what the secret of success really was. And that, naturally, made me realize that regardless of what other knowledge I might have brought to my job and to others, I was definitely lacking in the most important knowledge of all.
Of course, like most of us, I had been brought up on the belief that the secret of success is hard work, despite this; I had seen so many people who work hard and don't succeed and others who succeed without working hard. Because of this, I had become convinced that hard work was not the real secret, though in most cases it might be one of the requirements.
Given my background and training, I began trying to explain success by reviewing all relative research on such topics as motivation, behavior, performance and job satisfaction. Next, I set out on a voyage of discovery, which carried me through thousands of books, magazine and newspaper articles, biographies and autobiographies. I then conducted numerous empirical research studies in over a 20-year period.
After a time, theory, research results, and hearsay overwhelmed me. Then, one day as I was day dreaming, everything I had done came to focus. My mind focused on the realization that the secret I was trying to discover lay not only in what people did, but also in what made them do it.
I realized further that the secret for which I was searching must not only apply to every definition of success, but since it must apply to everyone to whom it is offered, it must also apply to everyone who had ever been successful. In short, I was looking for the common denominator of success.
But this common denominator of success is so big, so powerful, and so vitally important to your future and mine that I’m not going to review all of the writings and research, which have brought me to the common denominator of success. I’m just going to tell you.
The common denominator of success – the secret of success of every person who has ever been successful – lies in the fact that the person formed the habit of doing things that others don’t like to do. It’s just as true as it sounds and it’s just as simple as it seems. You can hold it up to the light, you can put it to the acid test, and you can kick it around until it’s worn out, but when you are all through with it, it will still be the common denominator of success, whether you like it or not.
It will explain why people have come into an organization with every apparent qualification for success and then given us our most disappointing failures. It explains why others have come in and achieved outstanding success in spite of many obvious and discouraging handicaps.
And since it will also explain your future, it would seem to be a mighty good idea for you to use it to determine just what sort of a future you are going to have. In other words, let’s take this big, all-embracing secret and boil it down to fit you.
If the secret of success lies in forming the habit of doing things that others don’t like to do, let’s start the boiling-down process by determining what are the things that others don’t like to do. The things that others don’t like to do are the very things that you and I and other human beings, including successful people, naturally don’t like to do. In other words, we’ve got to realize right from the start that success is something which is achieved by the minority of people and is therefore unnatural and is not achieved by following what we normally like and don't like, nor by being guided by natural preferences and prejudices.
The things that others don’t like to do, in general, are too many and too obvious for us to discuss here, and so, since our success is to be achieved in sale, let us move on to a discussion of the things that we as salespeople don’t like to do. Here too, the things we don’t like to do are too many to permit specific discussion, but they can all be disposed of by saying that they all come from one basic dislike peculiar to selling. We don’t like to contact people we think don’t want to see us, and we don't want to talk to others about something we don’t think they want to talk about. Any reluctance to follow a definite prospecting program, to use prepared sales talks, to organize time and to organize effort are all caused by this one basic dislike.
Perhaps you have wondered what is behind this peculiar lack of welcome on the part of our prospective buyers. Isn’t it due to the fact that our prospects are human too? And isn’t it true that average people are not always ready to buy and will want to escape our efforts to persuade them to do something they don’t want to do by striking at our most important weakness: namely, our desire to be appreciated?
Perhaps you have been discouraged by a feeling that you were born subject to certain dislikes peculiar to you, with which successful people in our business do not possess. Perhaps you have wondered why it is that our biggest producers seem to like to do things that you don’t like to do. They don’t! And I think this is the most encouraging statement I have ever offered to a group of salespeople.
But if they don’t like to do these things, then why do they do them? Because successful people do things they do not like to do, they are able to achieve their goals. They are not influenced by how they reach these goals, but rather by the results they can obtain. Successful people are influenced by the desire for pleasing results. Others are influenced by the desire for pleasing methods and are inclined to be satisfied with such results as can be obtained by doing things they like to do.
Purpose
Why are successful people able to do things they don’t like to do while others are not? Because successful people have a purpose strong enough to make them form the habit of doing things they don’t like to do.
When Top Sellers Slump
Sometimes even our best producers get into a slump. When a person goes into a slump, it simply means he/she has reached a point at which, for the time being, the things he/she doesn’t like to do have become more important than the reasons for doing them. And may I pause to suggest to you sales managers, general managers, and owners that when one of your good producers goes into a slump, the less you talk about production and the more you talk about "purpose," the sooner you will pull the person out of the slump.
It’s Not Enough
Many people with whom I have discussed this common denominator of success have said at this point, "But I have a family to support and I have to make a living for my family and myself. Isn’t that enough of a purpose?"
No it isn’t. It isn’t a sufficiently strong purpose to make you form the habit of doing the things you don’t like to do for the very simple reasons that it is easier to adjust ourselves to the hardships of a poor living than it is to adjust ourselves to the hardships of making a better one. If you doubt me, just think of all the things you are willing to go without in order to avoid doing the things you don’t like to do. All of which seems to prove that the strength, which holds you to your purpose, is not your own strength but the strength of the purpose itself.
Habit Is The Key
Now let’s see why habit belongs so importantly in this common denominator for success.
People are creatures of habit. Every single qualification for success is acquired through habit. People form habits and habits form futures. If you do not deliberately form good habits, then unconsciously you will form bad ones. You are the kind of person you are because you have formed the habit of being that kind of person. The only way you can change is through habit.
The success habits in selling are divided into four main groups:
1. Prospecting habits
2. Product knowledge habits
3. Selling habits
4. Working habits
Let’s discuss these habit groups in their order.
Any successful salesperson will tell you that it is easier to sell to people who don’t want it than it is to find people who do want it. If you have not deliberately formed the habit of prospecting for needs, regardless of wants, then unconsciously you have formed the habit of limiting your prospecting to people who want your product. This serves as the one and only real reason for a lack of prospects.
As to calling habits, unless you have deliberately formed the habit of calling on people who are able to buy but unwilling to listen, then unconsciously you have formed the habit of calling on people who are willing to listen but unable to buy.
As to selling habits, unless you have deliberately formed the habit of calling on prospects determined to make them see their reasons for buying, then unconsciously you have formed the habit of calling on prospects in a state of mind in which you are willing to let them make you see their reasons for not buying it.
As to working habits, if you will take care of the other three groups, the working habits will generally take care of themselves because under working habits are included study and preparation, organization of time and efforts, records, analyses etc. Certainly you’re not going to take the trouble to learn interest-arousing approaches and sales talks unless you’re going to use them. You’re not going to plan your day’s work when you know in your heart that you are not going to carry out your plans. And you’re certainly not going to keep an honest record of things you haven’t done or of results you haven’t achieved. For, if you are taking care of the first three groups, most working habits will take care of themselves and you’ll be able to afford an assistant to take care of the rest of them for you.
But before you decide to adopt these success habits, let me warn you of the importance of habit to your decision. I have attended many sales meetings and sales programs during the past 20 years and have often wondered why, in spite of the fact that there is so much good in them, so many people seem to get so little lasting good out of them. Perhaps you have attended sales meetings in the past and have determined to do things that would make you successful or more successful only to find your decision or determination warning at just the time when it should be put into effect or practice.
Here’s the answer. Any resolution or decision you make is simply a promise to yourself, which isn’t worth a nickel unless you have formed the habit of making and keeping that promise. And you won’t form the habit of making it and keeping it unless you link it with a definite purpose that can be accomplished by keeping it right at the beginning. In other words, any resolution or decision you make today has to be made again tomorrow, and the next day and the next, and so on. This decision not only has to be made each day, but it has to be kept each day, for if you miss one day in the making or the keeping of it, you have to go back and begin all over again. But if you continue the process of making it each morning and keeping it each day, you will finally wake up some morning a different person in a different world, and you will wonder what has happened to you and the world you used to live in.
You Have A Purpose
Here’s what has happened. Your resolution or decision has become a habit and you don’t have to make it on this particular morning. The reason you seem like a different person living in a different world is because you have, for the first time in your life, become master of yourself and your likes and dislikes. This is done by surrendering to your purpose in life. That is why behind every success there must be a "purpose," and that is what makes purpose so important to your future. For in the last analysis, your future is not going to depend on economic conditions or outside influences of circumstances over which you have no control. Your future is going to depend on your purpose in life. So let’s talk purpose.
What Is One’s purpose?
Purpose is something set up as an object or end to be attained. Occasionally purpose is referred to as someone’s personal mission statement. In setting your purpose, or mission statement, first create an imaginary ideal life you would like to live, in every respect. Your ideal life should be based upon who you are and where you are going in life. Let yourself dream big dreams. Let your mind float freely into the future.
Wants Or Needs?
Human beings are motivated by needs and wants. A person's needs result from a lack of something desirable, such as food, car, clothes, or shelter. Wants are needs learned by the person. They are often seen as emotional or psychological and not practical. For example, people need transportation but want a car instead of a horse or a bicycle. Most people want a luxury car instead of an inexpensive used car or truck. Instead of watching the game on television, some want season tickets at the Cowboy’s Irving Stadium. Instead of a five-room house some want a twelve-room house on two acres of land. Instead of working until one’s 80, some want to retire at an earlier time in their life mainly because they have not made their job satisfying for themselves.
Make Your Purpose Based Upon Needs.
Remember, needs are logical while wants are emotional. Your needs only push you just so far. When your needs are satisfied, they will stop pushing you. If, however, your purpose is in terms of wants and desires, then your wants and desires will keep pushing you long after needs are satisfied and until your wants and desires are fulfilled.
Recently I was talking with a young man who long ago discovered the common denominator of success without realizing it. He had a definite purpose in life and it was definitely a sentimental or emotional purpose. He wanted his boy to go through college without having to work his way through as he had done. He wanted to avoid for his little girl the hardships, which his own sister had to face in her childhood. He wanted his wife and the mother of his children to enjoy the luxuries, comforts, and even necessities, which had been denied to his own mother. He was willing to form the habit of doing things he didn’t like to do in order to accomplish this purpose.
Not to discourage him, but rather to have him encourage me, I said to him, "Aren’t you going a little too far with this thing? There’s no logical reason why your son shouldn’t be willing and able to work his way through college just as his father did. Of course he’ll miss many of the things that you missed in your college life and he’ll probably have heartaches and disappointments. But if he’s any good, he’ll come through in the need just as you did. And there’s no logical reason why you should slave in order that your daughter may have things which your own sister wasn’t able to have, or in order that your wife can enjoy comforts and luxuries that she wasn’t used to before she married you."
He looked at me with a rather pitying look and said, "But Mr. Gray, there’s no inspiration in logic. There’s no courage in logic. There’s not even happiness in logic. There’s only satisfaction. The only place logic has in my life is in realization that the more I am willing to do for my wife and children, the more I shall be able to do for myself."
I imagine, after hearing that story, you won’t have to be told how to find your purpose or how to identify it or how to surrender to it. If it’s a big purpose, you will be big in its accomplishment. If it’s an unselfish purpose, you will be unselfish in accomplishing it. And if it’s an honest purpose, you will be honest and honorable of it.
But as long as you live, don’t forget that while you may succeed beyond your fondest hopes and your greatest expectations, it is impossible to succeed beyond the purpose for which you are sacrificing. Furthermore, your surrender will not be complete until you have formed the habit of doing the things that others don’t like to do.
Give me 90 Minutes and I’ll teach you How to Form the Habit of Success!
I promise you will walk into any sales appointment with pose, confidence and power!
