We all need to communicate well in order to build and maintain good relationships with people. Your job can even depend on it – you may need to sell, persuade, teach, lead… There are many times when you need to be a skilful communicator. Sometimes our communications may need some mental self help to make them better.

We all have times when no-one seems to understand us – it’s probably happened to you many times. You seem to be unable to get through to the other person, no matter how hard you try. Sometimes these differences can lead to the breakdown in relationships or even more serious consequences.

How do you get your message to the outside world?

A good question.

The first thing is to consider just how you communicate to the outside world.

You communicate with other people through your words, your body language and your tone of voice. A study of the effectiveness of these different means of communication showed that the content of the words you use is the least important, tone of voice is next while body language accounts for more than half of the communication.

When we look at these three things, the least important, your words, is the one is the one that communicates complicated ideas while the most important one, your body language, is most effective at communicating emotions and feelings. The first mental self help tip is to realise that human communications are a blunt instruments.

The exaggerated communications you see in television commercials are a result of the nature of human communication.

The final means of communication you need to think about for longer term relationships is your actions. These will enable people to build up a picture over time of how you respond in certain circumstances.

What’s In Your Mind?

One of the challenges of human communication is that we are all very complex psychological beings. You have a rich inner life. You have a complex system of beliefs, values, and deeper levels of identity and spirituality.

You have accumulated a lifetime of experiences. These experiences have been absorbed into your subconscious nature and they have produced deeply ingrained mental habits - as you get older this just gets worse!

You have also learnt from your parents, your teachers, your society… your life experiences in general a whole complex set of rules for simplifying and processing all the information that your senses take in.

One of the common sources of frustration with communication is that what you are experiencing is so complex and unique to you, you simply can’t express it!

Consider the other person

We’ve seen how complex your mind is and how the instrument of communication cannot convey enough data for use to communicate precisely. Everyone you try to communicate with is facing the same problems.

Looking at the process of communication in detail – you start with an idea which is a complex of emotions, thoughts and memories that are in your mind. First you have to simplify it and turn it in to actions and words. Which you can transmit.

The other person receives it through their senses which work a bit differently to yours, they process it through the filter of their own mind and finally they end up reconstructing a message that makes sense to them.

It’s a miracle we ever communicate at all!

However humans are miraculous creatures and we do manage to communicate quite effectively.

Mental Self Help - Enhancing your communications

The tools you have for communication are unsophisticated, to give yourself the best chance of communicating well, you need to make sure they are all saying the same thing. Your body language and your tone of voice, which tend to respond to subconscious information, and your words, which respond to rational thoughts most strongly should all transmit the same message.

In long term relationships, you need to make sure that your messages are clear and consistent over time.

The good news is that consistency in both communicating one on one and in your long term relationships happens when you are in touch with your core self and understand where you are going. In other words “when you are true to yourself”.

Mental self help note - take the time to evaluate your life and understand where you can be more consistent.

You can also improve your communications by taking the time to learn more about the mechanics of the human mind which we all use to communicate. Some basic information on nlp and the science of the mind can pay dividends!

Are you a die-hard self-help junkie? Do you love to read books about how to find your life purpose, how to find the perfect career or how to live your best life? If so, you’re not alone; there are a lot of us “junkies” out there, and we are all striving to create the happiest life, the best career or the most meaningful view on life. No matter how much you read, though, something doesn’t seem right – you aren’t getting from the books everything you’d like – and you don’t know exactly what that “something” is. But sometimes what you are looking for is closer than you can imagine.

Who am I to make such claims? I am a self-professed self-help junkie who has done nearly everything to try and find my specific path towards enlightenment, career fulfillment and life purpose. I’ve never smoked cracked or done any hard core drugs, but I can only imagine that being addicted to self-help literature is along the same lines, no pun intended.

Are you staring your life purpose in the face, and perhaps you don’t even realize?

Let me start by asking you three very simple, yet important, questions. Take a moment to ponder each one, and don’t forget to be completely honest with yourself. If you’re not, you are only hurting yourself by not opening up your mind to the possibilities that may exist for you. And you wouldn’t want to spoil that for yourself, would you? And – now, this is very important – go with your gut instinct on these questions; do not think too long about any one of them. Go with what comes to mind first and write it down.

1. What do you spend most of your “down time” doing?

2. Why do you choose that activity (or activities)?

3. If you didn’t have to work and had all the money you ever needed, what would you do (after the initial month, of course, in which you would probably veg out for days on end, travel to faraway places and shop until you drop. I promise … that gets boring after awhile.) If something doesn’t come to mind immediately, give it a few more minutes. Type or write it out until what you’ve come up with feels right.

These questions are important because they force you think about why you currently do what you do, how you spend your time and also what you would do if you had more time. Activities will surface that you may have put on the back burner because your job requires long hours, your social life is crazy or your family life is too demanding. Whatever the reason, remember you’re reading this article and taking the first steps toward rediscovering your passions. That is very powerful stuff.

There are a plethora of self-help books, e-books, websites and activities out there to help people like us find that one thing (or things) that makes us tick while time stops – some books call it “flow” (that is part of my self-help junkie lingo) – but it can be simpler than you ever imagined just by closing your eyes, thinking of the activities that you enjoy most and aiming for that feeling you get when you are doing that activity. You know that feeling I’m talking about – that excited feeling in the pit of your stomach, almost like a mild stomachache that makes you have to poo – it’s excitement. It’s the “Christmas morning” feeling that you may have gotten as a child. Am I saying that finding your life purpose is as simple as closing your eyes and imagining what you enjoy doing? Of course not. But I am telling you that it’s a start toward rediscovering the things that make your heart go pitter-pat. Now, going back to those three questions from before and thinking about your answers. Ask yourself why you chose what you chose. There is a reason you said what you said. Think about it.

Then, as soon as you can (today, if possible) do that activity. Do that activity whether it is five minutes or five hours and see how you feel afterwards. Do you feel exhilarated? Worn down? Utter joy? Relief? What did you learn about the time you spent doing that “thing” that you claim you love? You may feel like you found what makes you “flow”, or you may have just realized “not so much”. But that is a good thing too because that narrows it down for next time. Just mark it off your list and move on. Write down your feelings and reflect on them tomorrow. And keep doing this activity once a day until you find that thing (or things) that make your tummy ache!

Go to any bookstore in the United States and you’ll find rows and rows of self-help books dedicated to overcoming negative habits and programming. It’s staggering and a bit overwhelming (yep, there are books about that, too) to know which book will actually do the trick, fix the problem, or solve the issue. So many things need to be helped, addressed, and saved. Yikes! Are we really that bad off?

Personally, when I stand in front of the self-help section-which I try not to do very often-within minutes my eyes glaze over and my mind turns to mush. I can’t see. I can’t think. Maybe there’s a book that could help me with that?

Self-Help Books to the Rescue?

Obviously, self-help books are hot commodities. After all, they’re here to help. Help who? Help you. Help you what? Get over the past, break free from the chains that bind you, forgive those who have hurt you, and overcome your problems.

Self-help books are making some amazing claims nowadays. Here are some examples I lifted from a recent walk-through at my neighborhood Barnes and Noble:

• Learn how to overcome negative programming from infancy.

• Learn how to re-program the negative experiences that have been hardwired into you from birth.

• Make friends with your critical inner parent.

• Discover how your childhood wounds are holding you back in your intimate relationships.

• This process will teach you how to start improving your current situation that is a result of years and years of negative thinking.

• Start getting the results you want today by overcoming your past.

• Get rid of the thick layer of negative thoughts and beliefs that are making you unconsciously manifest everything you don’t want in your life.

• Learn to work with your past, not against it.

Pretty impressive, huh? Well, don’t be fooled. Don’t allow yourself, even for one minute, to be lulled into these claims. Here’s why. Consider this: There is nothing to overcome. There is no hurdle that must be jumped, nothing to wrestle to the ground, and certainly nothing that needs to be fixed.

OK. Maybe there are some things that you’d like to increase your awareness of or learn more about. Fine. But fix? “Fix” is for things, not people. You are perfect just as you are.

Not All Self-Help Books Are Created Equal

There are two kinds of self-help books on the market today. Those founded on the belief that there is something wrong with you and those that aren’t. Books based on the premise that you are an incomplete, broken, and damaged person are books founded in flaw, deficit, and decay. Books based on the premise that you are a complete, intact, and whole person are books founded in wellness, fullness, and life.

The authors of these books know that the only thing hardwired into you is your eternal God-Self. They know that nothing “awful” from the past has any effect on your eternal God-Self. No matter how many years you’ve been thinking negatively, your eternal God-Self just is. It’s not separate from you. It’s who you are, all you were, and all you ever will be. Nothing can affect that. Know this. Live this.

Remember the WYTIWYG

Your greatest point of creation is in the now. If you want something to change, change your thoughts. Now. It’s really that easy. Just think thoughts in the direction of what you want. Your thoughts will become things.

The only reason we keep repeatedly experiencing what we perceive as negative things from the past is that we continually rethink the same thoughts. Don’t like what you’re manifesting? Change what you’re thinking. It really is that easy, folks. It’s easy, because your hardware is God-Self. Your software is whatever program you choose to run. Software in. Software out. Software is easy to uninstall!

Since we’re using the computer as metaphor, remember the acronym WYSIWYG-what you see is what you get? Well, the key to conscious creation is WYTIWYG-what you think is what you get.

So, the next time you feel the urge to change yourself; don’t run to the nearest bookstore. Save your money! Just remember WYTIWYG. Get it? Wit-ee-wig! Keep your wits about you. You don’t need to change anything except your thoughts. Change your thoughts, change your life!

It is not always easy for someone to control his or her anger, and the problem can often become serious enough to warrant looking about for an effective self help means to rectify the problem before it becomes more serious than it deserves to be. The number of people having anger management problems is many and if it were not for the fact that there are a number of different self help anger management techniques available, the problem would indeed have become a much more serious cause of concern than it is.

Simply Visit A Therapist For Counseling - When faced with different choices of self help anger management techniques, a very common option taken by a person suffering from anger management problems is to turn to a therapist and get counseled for his or her problem. However, a number of other alternatives are also available and one such is to read up as much literature as is available on the subject of controlling anger, and with so much literature available on the topic, it is a good starting point for every sufferer of anger management problems.

Or, if one is in need of some company and one desires to have a more sustained means of getting self help with the anger management problem, there is always the possibility of joining anger management courses that is very effective means of overcoming the problem. It offers much scope to interact with others having similar problems and thus opens up avenues to interact and learn about other people’s experiences with the same problem, and learning how others cope with the problem, will give fresh insight into your own methods of dealing with anger management problems. Furthermore, self help anger management also requires getting support and understanding from friends and family which can help bring things under control.

You may think that only adults suffer from anger management problems, but the truth is that anger is indiscriminate in who it affects and even children that normally behave very well can become its victim. A child that has hitherto not shown much sign of becoming angry can suddenly develop a problem with controlling his or her anger and would thus require help from parents to learn some self help means to cope with such a problem.

If you are a sufferer of anger management problems, there is some hope for you since there are many resources that you can tap into in order to learn self help anger management techniques. Some of the better self help means to control anger is taking to doing yoga and also meditating, which are very effective means of overcoming anger problems. You can also take to reading books and even make use of audio books on how to control anger, and this is an effective and simple self help anger management technique that anyone can use and thus overcome whatever anger related problems he or she may be having.

According to the US National Committee for Quality Health Assurance, more than 11 million Americans (about 1 in 20) have major depression. Interestingly, only about half of these are still taking medication six months after being diagnosed. If these wonder drugs are so great, why do so many people stop taking them? Could it be that they are not getting the results they want or people are getting fed up with the unwanted side effects?

As no single antidepressant has been shown to be any more effective than any other, the choice of which drug to prescribe is often based on their different side effects! These often include weight gain, headaches, nausea, stomach pain, loss of libido and the list goes on.

All forms of depression affect a person’s thoughts, actions and physical health, and this is a condition that is experienced by an ever growing number in our society. Fortunately, today, more and more people are turning to other (healthier and less expensive) options to overcome depression (& other debilitating conditions), including relaxation methods, exercise, enjoying music, reading inspiring books, doing their own research to find out what works for them, counselling, and natural medicine.

The habit of taking pills to make oneself feel better - to have more energy, to relax, and to experience a general feeling of well being is now a widely accepted, daily habit / ritual in many Western countries. The downside is that the underlying condition or reason behind the need or desire for drugs does not change or get better as a result of taking pill, and of course all the unwanted side effects. However, there are alternatives, and the good news is that these options come without negative side effects, and are not habit forming!

The Physical Side
While it is true that conditions in our physical bodies sometimes need prescription drugs, (or natural alternatives) to counteract the effects of imbalance which lead to high levels of stress, organic weaknesses, painful muscles, and even disease, it is also true that there is much that we can do to help ourselves and our bodies feel and work better. Much of this is related to the way we think, the daily choices we make, and the emotions that we regularly experience.

Mental & Emotional Health
As humans it is natural to desire the good things life has to offer: vibrant health, energy, good communication with others, a great job, financial abundance, the home, the car, wonderful vacations, and of course the ideal relationship. However it is difficult to be successful and reach our goals when our mind and emotions are out of balance; when we don’t have clear goals, or a system in place to reach those goals once we clarify them.

Taking Back Control
“The greatest pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.”

–Walter Bagehot

The first step in gaining control of one’s life, one’s health, physical, mental and emotional, and one’s destiny is a very simple one, to make the decision to do just that! The good news is that you don’t have to do this on your own; others have trodden the same path, faced the same (or similar) challenges and triumphed; reaching goals they previously thought were only pipe dreams, and living the life they thought was only possible for others who were more privileged, clever or got the right breaks. And many of these individuals then chose to share the methods they found worked best for them, to inspire and genuinely assist others to achieve a much higher level of happiness and success in their lives on every level.

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.”

–Henry David Thoreau

One such person is Genevieve Dawid: international consultant and mentor to both individuals and blue chip corporations. To achieve the wonderful success that she now enjoys today though, Genevieve first had to overcome far more obstacles than the average person born with feet both the wrong way round, orphaned at birth, dyslexic (difficulties in correctly reading and interpreting written words) and dyspraxic (severe difficulty performing tasks requiring fine motor skills such as drawing or writing) and diabetic to name just a few of her challenges.

With a wonderful support system from her adoptive parents, and a true indomitable spirit and inborn highly positive approach to life and all it threw at her, instead of giving up, or resorting to drugs (by far the easier option!) with great persistence, Genevieve overcame her many challenges. Later on she also experienced harassment from some senior executives in response to her dyslexia when working as a consultant in London, the deaths of several close family members, including her own triplets, and the severe depression that followed, which she described “like being down the darkest of holes.” In spite of all this, she always “knew” there was light at the end of the tunnel.

Instead of throwing in the towel she continued to look to the future, learned how to think differently about things, and developed a unique blueprint for going beyond daily obstacles, and most importantly, attracting everything that she wanted to have in life boldly following her dreams.

Now she has the luxury lifestyle she previously only dreamed about; including the man, the car, the houses, the vacations!

If you have a desire for change, but feel you need some direction and inspiration from someone who is not only highly successful and happy, but truly empathises with your situation; someone who can point you in the right direction and provide tried and tested methods for achieving the lifestyle you really want I invite you to have a look at ‘The Achiever’s Journey,’ at www.theachieversjourney.com.

Genevieve Dawid is a published author, of the self help book The Achievers Journey. Her early life challenges of learning to cope with dyslexia led her to explore some unique ways of coping with dyslexia.

People that get angered easily may need some effective means to control themselves and may thus need to look for a proper anger management technique that will answer to their needs to control them in situations that often gets well out of hand. With people having serious instances of anger management requirements the good news is that a number of different techniques with regard to self help anger management are available to fight off this condition.

Counseling From Therapists - Among the many self help anger management techniques available is the one that requires taking counseling from therapists, and there are also very many books written on the subject to enable a person to utilize the knowledge gained by reading such literature on the subject and create their own self help anger management techniques that will work well for them.

There is also anger management courses which is a means very often used by people that wish to get more in-depth help from experts regarding controlling their anger, and it also affords those suffering from anger to interact with fellow sufferers and thus can gain valuable insights as to how self help will make them overcome such problems and so should incorporate such techniques in order to bring their anger under control. Self help also means the sufferer is able to avail of support as well as understanding from others, and in this regard family members are the persons the sufferer must need to turn to when requiring the necessary understanding and support and once given, also helps ensure that the situation is not further aggravated.

Also, anger management problems are not just confined to adults; but, can affect children as well and it is not uncommon for children that behave well to also be affected by anger that was not evident earlier. It is up to the parents to provide the child with proper guidance and should expend their energies to help in contributing to the child learning self help anger management techniques and so, overcome the behavioral problems.

It is also common for sufferers to find self help from other resources besides their parents, and taking to performing yoga as well as meditation is just one instance of how a self help anger management technique can help overcome the problem. Other methods for self help include reading up books as well as listening to audio books on the subject, and with a few more available alternatives, it is possible for the sufferer to find an ideal method of self help to help get rid of the problem of anger.

Self help and motivation have been on the minds of professors for years. Several Authors and Teachers have joined together to bring you self help audios, motivation, that could vastly improve your life and ways of thinking.

I heard many years ago,

“We must admit we don’t know it all in order to get it all”. Accept that fact and you have started the journey.

Raising the awareness factor is part of that step. Is there a better life that your not seeing, living or believing? Asking the right questions Brings you into a better awareness.You can overcome any challenge. You don’t have to settle for things as they are. What causes you to stay in that mediocre state?

When you have problems, you change them into challenges. At that point you go to see who has the knowledge about that challenge.

You put yourself on the track to self improvement. A goal to take you from where you are to where you want to be.

As a goal, many powerful speakers have sought to bring you to a higher life standard. Hundreds of years of experience to get you there. Our world as a whole has a great need for that higher life standard. Many of us have that inner feeling of wanting to improve ourselves thru self help.

Each person reaches their own maturity of knowledge on their own to a certain point. It then has to be there decision what to do next after that.

Just as an example I have a son thats become an Eagle Scout. He Became an Eagle Scout by following a plan of action, a book, and having mentors. Those mentors and that book brought him into a better life, with self help.

It can be very easy to get buried in life’s business, stuck in the muck, so to speak, that place of mediocre living. Maybe you can relate to this feeling in life, where you need something more out of life.

Listening and reading your way to a better life is a great way to get there. There definitely are good answers out there. Are you wondering if there is more to life? Do you think beliefs create everything in your life?

100’s of years of mentoring, teaching’s are out there for the taking, you just need to make the decision to go for it. “Its not so much what happens in life that matters, its how you react to it”.

About the author Brian focused, always looking for ways to help people see their value, ability to learn and see their mind has a great capacity for it.

Self improvement is the enrichment of the mind, character, and attitude through your own efforts and positive thinking. There is no wrong or right in this field, what is self improvement to one person may actually appear as self decline to another.

When applied properly and consistently these thought processes can transform your whole life. Most of us suffer from low self esteem and a lack self confidence from time to time. Eventually we believe that self improvement is impossible to achieve.

These thoughts have been shaped by past failures and negative experiences. Hopefully we can reach a point in our life when we are ready for change and are ready to accept information that will help us unlock our self improvement power. For many people, financial success is an important part of this process.

We begin to understand that self improvement and self growth improve the quality of life. There is no such thing as an instant fix. Upon starting any self improvement program, most people usually encounter inner resistance that come from their old habits and their subconscious mind, and also resistance and opposition from the people around them.

Self-improvement begins with self-understanding , knowing your true potential and of being aware that you are unique. Improvement can be measured in many ways, in a variety of contexts. What really does matter is how the individual sees his or her self, and what they would perceive as improvement to that self.

The popularity of self-improvement books, tapes and seminars is a reflection of the universal interest we all have in overcoming our limitations, or being the best we can be. The reason why you see so much literature on self improvement whenever you go to a bookstore is that people have forgotten the basic fact that what they are seeking is already within them, and that they already have the means within them to achieve their goals.

In pursuit of an objective, a goal, or even a dream, whether business or personal, you can increase the likelihood of success by continuously exercising your mind with positive thinking, self help and personal growth.

Have you ever done something that you’ve immediately realised was unhelpful? Do you have habits that are bad for you? Do you feel you are your own worst enemy? Do you ask yourself “Why did I do that?” If you said yes to any of those questions, you are sabotaging yourself like so many people do. Find out more about self sabotage and how to overcome it.

I can remember when I couldn’t leave any food on my plate. My inner voice would keep nagging me until I finished everything that was put in front of me. When it was a reasonable sized meal, that was ok, but when it wasn’t I put on weight. It wasn’t until I made peace with this inner voice that I was able to control the amount of food I ate and ultimately my health.

Another area for self sabotage you may experience is in relationships. You may want to form good relationships with all sorts of people, but whenever you try to have a meaningful conversation you end up behaving inappropriately and feeling that you’ve let yourself down again.

There are many more ways you can sabotage yourself – just watch your behaviours and you will start to see them.

Why do people sabotage themselves?

One common reason is that they are driven by past conditioning. With my eating habit, my parents continually drummed into me that it was bad to leave food on my plate. Not a problem when I was younger, but I internalized that voice and it kept coming back to me when I was an adult.

Fear is also a big cause of self sabotage. You may be afraid that you are going to fail, you may even be thinking “I must not fail, I must not fail…” By focussing on failure, you ask your mind to help you achieve that failure. You may be afraid of what other people will think, you may even be afraid of success.

The fear of success is insidious – fearing the very thing you want makes it very hard to get there. But success can often mean change, leaving your comfort zone and for you that may be a terrifying prospect.

How to deal with your self sabotage

The first step is to become aware that you are sabotaging yourself. If necessary, spend a bit of time watching your behaviour, making a mental note of the times when you seem to do things that were dumb, crazy, senseless, or just unhelpful to what you were trying to achieve.

Now sit down with a piece of paper. Draw a vertical line down the middle. On the left hand side write down what it is you wanted to do. On the right hand side write down what you actually did that caused the self sabotage. Make sure you don’t make excuses or blame yourself or other people. Be objective and be honest. This is not a blame fest! Now listen to your inner voice and write down why you did the thing that caused self sabotage. You may need to close your eyes and trust the first thought that pops into your head. Trying to force this consciously can be difficult.

Congratulations! You’ve made some great progress. Resist the temptation to beat yourself up about your self sabotage – it happened, it’s in the past and it needn’t happen.

Now that you are aware of your self sabotage and what’s causing it, the next time you find yourself in a situation where it’s likely to happen, watch your thoughts, be aware of the impulse to sabotage yourself, and let pass away before you act. You may not get this right first time, but over time you will find that your self sabotage falls away, leaving you free to get on with your life!

Anger management arises for a number of reasons for many people at some time in their lives. It is sometimes as a result of stress that occurs due to a family or professional situation that can pass quickly. Some people however are more inclined to have more serious anger management problems.

There are various self help anger management techniques available to help combat this problem, for example by having some counseling sessions with a therapist. There are many books available on this subject and maybe this will be enough for many people to be able to control their anger.

Some people resort to anger management courses that offer more in depth help by an expert in this field, where sufferers can share their experiences with others and learn how they have overcome their problems and learn new techniques to control their anger.

It is important to remember that support and understanding is needed for helping suffers with anger management issues. Many families pass through this situation at some point in their lives due to various situations that arise. If no support is offered then very often the situation becomes worse because sometimes it is difficult for family members to understand why someone suddenly has this problem whether it is as a result of any number of reasons.

It is important to remember that anyone can suffer from anger management problems including children. Sometimes a well-behaved child suddenly shows signs of anger that were never displayed before. It is essential for parents to talk to their children and find out the reasons for this sudden change of behavior.

There can sometimes be a minor problem that the child has experienced that has led to this sudden case of anger that will pass very quickly, but sometimes a more serious event has occurred such as bullying or even a sexual assault.

These situations must be handled very carefully and may require counseling as very often children do not want to discuss what has happened to their parents and the use of a professional counselor is needed to reveal what has occurred and to offer advice to the child.

Suffers find help through a number of resources, some by using yoga and meditation, others by reading books or audio books. There are many alternatives available and it is important to seek out this help as soon as possible. Anger management self help is found in many ways and it varies from person to person as to their needs.
