Hub You - How To Get Out of Your Head and In To Action
Internet search engines are special sites on the Web that are designed to help people find information stored on other sites. There are differences in the ways various search engines work, but they all perform three basic tasks:- They search the Internet -- or select pieces of the Internet - based on important words.- They keep an index of the words they find, and wh
The second step is to check inwards that the goals we are wanting to achieve are in line with our vision, and reflect our true self, rather than simply being driven by fear or moving away from fear. This takes some real reflection, and can be quite confronting. Havin

One of the biggest barriers to a profitable business is ourselves. Or to be more specific what is going on in our heads. This is what the Buddhists term 'Monkey Mind' - the self-criticizing aspect of our mind that swings us from doubt, to worry, and back to doubt. It's what a client affectionately calls "that incessant voice in my head that doesn't shut up!!"
If you've ever heard yourself saying things like
* "How can you possibly think you're good enough to ... (start your own business/try out for the part/increase your prices)"
* "Of course you're not making sales, (it's a quiet time of year/we're in a recession/it's raining)"
* "They're never going to want to do business with me; I'm (too dumb /too old /too young /not funny enough/not serious enough)"
* "If I were really meant to be doing x, I wouldn't be having so much trouble"
then chances are that's your Monkey Mind chatter talking to
you.
The good news is it never really goes away. How can that be good news you ask? Well, when Monkey Mind is at its strongest is generally when we are threatening to change the status quo. In her book Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway, Susan Jeffers First Truth is "The Fear will never go away as long as I continue to grow". Our Monkey Mind is playing on those fears to ensure things stay just the way they are thank you very much!
So if Monkey Mind is set to hang around, how do we ensure we are moving forward regardless?
The first step is to recognise that the doubts, fears and worries are always going to be there, however we can decide how much of our energy goes into listening to it. We can choose at any moment to focus our energy on achieving our goals rather than trying to analyse, suppress or argue with our self talk.
The second step is to check inwards that the goals we are wanting to achieve are in line with our vision, and reflect our true self, rather than simply being driven by fear or moving away from fear. This takes some real reflection, and can be quite confronting. Having

At the end of Part 1 I said I would discuss some good deals you can get in insurance and this is what I intend to do in this section. No bargains can be found in the “must have” type policies, like auto and home insurance. But there are some policies I highly recommend.The first type of policy I recommend is an umbrella policy. This is a policy that covers you for person

One of the greatest things to happen to the world of travel in recent years is the advent of low cost airlines. Not only do they offer flight travel that is cheaper than any previous airlines by far, but they also offer some other great innovations in booking and paying for flights. Part of the growth in popularity of these airlines is that they are so easy to work with online., Susan Jeffers First Truth is "The Fear will never go away as long as I continue to grow".

Business cards are powerful little advertisements that you can effortlessly distribute among your friends and strangers alike. They will be a constant reminder to the receiver that you specialize in a certain product or service and are always ready to do business with them.These cards can be printed by yourself while you are still getting on your feet and do not have much o
The second step is to check inwards that the goals we are wanting to achieve are in line with our vision, and reflect our true self, rather than simply being driven by fear or moving away from fear. This takes some real reflection, and can be quite confronting. Having someone to support you through this process will be invaluable.
The third step is to take action. Susan Jeffers Second Truth is "The only way to get rid of the fear of doing something is to go out and do it." In fact even the step of changing your physical state can lessen the fear and allow you to move forward. A simple example of this is the fear we have in making particular phone calls - it may be for debt collection, or to ask for new business. In these situations, the act of standing up to make the phone calls can make you feel more powerful, thereby lessening your fear, and you actually come across as more assertive when you do make the call.
Monkey Mind is here to stay, and is not something that you can turn around over night, but just be thankful if you can hear it, it means you are ready to forge ahead!!
