Blogsvertise Your Blog

April 19th, 2009

I’ve been looking for a way to bring in some extra cash through blogging, so needless to say I was interested and intrigued when I discovered Blogsvertise.com.

http://www.blogsvertise.com is an online service that helps both bloggers and merchants increase their bottom line. In other words, speaking as a blogger, this service helps me monetize my site and earn some extra dollars.

I know we’d all like to think that bloggers maintain their blogs purely to pursue their passions and interests, to express themselves through writing and to assist the viewers acquire useful information. All that may be true, but the other side of the coin is that we have to cover the expenses of maintaining a blog or a web site. In addition to that, many of us have to earn a living and ideally have enough cash left over to splurge on a few treats.

That’s where http://www.blogsvertise.com comes in. When you register as a blogger with Blogsvertise, you receive payment for writing about the web sites that they assign. The really great news is that you don’t have to compromise your integrity by endorsing  these sites if you question their worth.  If you want to give the site a negative critique, you are free to do so.

The only requirements are that you write about the site within five days of receiving the assignment, that you link to the site once, and that you mention the site’s name at least three times in the post.

This post is an example of a Blogsvertise post.

Blogsvertise does have a some requirements regarding the blogs it will accept. These requirements strike me as being simple, reasonable and easy to understand. Furthermore, if your blog doesn’t quite meet expectations at the time you register, they assign you a probationary status and the opportunity to improve your blog’s standing.

I think its a great idea — its win-win to everyone concerned, including blog visitors. They get the opportunity to learn about new web sites and services. Bloggers get to make some cash and merchants benefit by the  links to their web sites.

I’ve signed up with http://www.blogsvertise.com.  If you’re a blogger, you might want to give them a look over as well.

Looking for Limiting Beliefs Around Weight Management

October 22nd, 2008

Limiting beliefs are beliefs that can get in your  way when you are trying to reduce your body fat or to maintain a desired body weight.

EFT tapping is one way to deal with this.

Your limiting beliefs and mine could be the same, or they could be different.  Do any of these sound like something you might hold true?

1. I always lose weight very slowly

2. I hit plateaus and it take forever to get beyond them

3. I have to stay on a diet forever if I want to keep my weight down

4. I have to diet rigorously. Every tiny “slip” sets me back.

5. I can’t have the foods I like best. I have to live the rest of my life without my favorite foods.

6. I’ll never get my weight down to what it used to be when I was 18

7. I can’t stop eating. It’s an addiction

8. I don’t want to face life without ice cream

9. I have a slow metabolism.

10. My overweight challenge is genetic. Its in my DNA to be overweight

11. I can’t resist food when I see it so I have to avoid seeing it.

12. Etc.

As I mentioned, those may or may not be your beliefs. I suggest you start doing EFT tapping with the sole purpose of discovering any beliefs you have that may be holding you back.

Just start tapping on the Karate Chop point. Begin by saying, “Even though I don’t know what my limiting beliefs are, I love, forgive and accept myself.” Do that three times, then move on to the top of the heat. “Even though I don’t realize all of my limiting beliefs, I know I have some..”  Continue making it up as you go along, and sooner or later a limiting belief will pop out of your mouth You may be surprised at what you hear yourself say.

When you discover one, tap on it until it disappears.

Continue until you have knocked out as many as you can find.

Try it On Everything EFT Movie

July 9th, 2008

Finally,Try it on Everything the EFT movie we’ve all been waiting for is here.

Both heartwarming and informative, this feature length movie shows how ordinary people have received extraordinary relief and healing by using this simple technique. Some of the cast of The Secret are in the movie, too!

Unlike The Secret, however, emotional freedom technique is based on science. Brain scans taken before and after EFT sessions show a marked difference in the ratios of brain frequencies.

By making this movie available, the producers are attempting to reach countless people who otherwise would continue to suffer with various emotional and even physical conditions.

Try it on Everything is well worth a look — and even a second look.

Emotional Issues Found Behind Cigarette Cravings

March 17th, 2008

I’ve received numerous emails from interested persons since Gary Craig posted my short article on Using EFT for Cigarette Cravingsat his emofree.com web site.

I won’t repeat the article, because you can read it on the Emofree web site. What does interest me is the response it received from former and current smokers.  Emotional Freedom Technique has a big role to play in any addictive behavior — whether that is tobacco, food, alcohol,drugs, shopping, gambling and so forth.

Check out the article and subscribe to Gary’s newsletter. It’s fascinating reading.

Using EFT Tapping to Counteract Negative Health Messages Around Obesity

March 11th, 2008

It’s difficult to read a newspaper or tune into the daily TV news without reading or hearing yet another dire warning about the health dangers associated with obesity. I’m expecting to see any day now that obesity is the cause of global warming, the rising crime rate and the high price of real estate in Vancouver.

I am not impressed with these endless warnings. I have to put this carefully, because I am not discounting the health concerns that surround obesity. I certainly recognize the health benefits to be realized when we take off the excess pounds.

 But!!!

I believe that we’re going a little over the top with the scare tactics.  Obesity has become the new public enemy and we’re gonna fight it, dammit!  

I see a problem with this. Because of my spiritual and philosophical beliefs, I believe that we attract that which we focus on.  Focusing on the occurrences of obesity will increase those numbers. Focusing on the related health dangers will increase the incidents of obesity related health problems.

 On the other hand, focusing on fitness and health will increase the occurrences of fitness and health.  I would love to see a newspaper headline that read, “60% of adults are within their ideal weight range,” rather than, “40% of adults are overweight.”  (I’m not claiming these are the correct percentages. I’m just using these as an example.)

Counteracting the Negative Messages

If you are overweight, I strongly suggest you use tools such as the Silva Method or EFT tapping to counteract these negative messages.

Take the pounds off, certainly, but do it by focusing on the positive, not the negative. By meditating or tapping on fitness, ideal weight, good health, etc., you will attract more of those things that you want.

You may want to do some EFT tapping to address the fears and concerns you have around health. “Even though I am worried that I will develop some horrible disease because of my weight, I deeply and completely accept myself.”   After several rounds of that,  proceed to tapping in the positive messages. “I now achieve my ideal body weight. I enjoy good health. I will always maintain a perfectly healthy body and mind.”

 And incidentally, if you’d like a little encouraging news for a change, my daily newspaper reported yesterday that when critically ill, fat patients have a better survival rate than slim people. The research was conducted by Dr. Folu Akinnusi, from the University of Buffalo’s Division of Pulmonary, Critical Care and Sleep Medicine. There are various theories as to why this is so.

Using the Silva Method to Help Lose Weight

February 25th, 2008

The Silva Method has a lot to offer if you want to lose weight. First, I’ll explain what it is. To quote from the web site, “The Silva Method is a powerful, life-changing program developed over 50 years ago by Jose Silva.”  Originally, it was called Silva Mind Control but the name is now changed to Silva Method.

Based on scientific research, the Silva Method is a training program that I can only describe as a little like self hypnosis, a little like guided meditations, a little like spirituality, a little like the Law of Attraction and a little like good old fashioned positive thinking.

 The  Silva Method Explained

 In short, the training teaches you to reach a deep meditative state quickly and easily. By the end of this training, you can reach alpha level or theta level of brain waves simply by touching three fingers together and counting downwards from three to one. In that meditative state, you program or reprogram your brain to create the results you want.

With the Silva Method, you can relax quickly, fall asleep without the use of sleep aids, awaken at the time you want without use of an alarm clock,  improve your memory, use dreams and other methods to solve problems, change behaviors or break habits, manage or remove pain instantly, increase intuition, develop ESP abilities and heal physical conditions that are troubling you. I have personally had some remarkable health – related results from the Silva Method. I have described those experiences at How to Lose Weight Quickly with the Silva Method

Using the Silva Method to Lose Weight

Among the many other benefits you can expect from the Silva Methods is the ability to “program your mind” to develop an eating pattern that achieves your weight goals, whatever they may be. Personally, I created a Silva Method program to help me achieve my desired weight and maintain it — and to enjoy the healthy, nutritious foods that I now eat.

Availability

The Silva Method is available through a home study course or through live workshops if there is a trainer in your area. Either one works well although I personally prefer the live workshops. Once you have attended a live workshop, you can attend and re-attend as many times as you want for a small fee. If you’re interested in learning more, the Silva Method web site offers a free ebook and audio file to get you started.

I took the Silva Method for the first time in the seventies. I was young at the time and didn’t fully appreciate its power. I re-took the course a year ago. I can now say that I have a complete commitment to practice this amazing method for the rest of my life.

I can’t speak highly enough of all the Silva Method  has done for me, both as an aid to lose weight and for other things as well. If anyone is serious about creating lasting and deep changes, I suggest you give it a try.

This EFT Script Overcomes Resistance to Losing Weight

February 22nd, 2008

Do you need to lose weight but just can’t seem to take the first step? EFT tapping is a wonderful tool to help you overcome whatever excuses you have for delaying the inevitable if you just can’t force yourself to do it. 

Let’s say your favorite excuse is, “Everybody in my family is overweight.”

Why not tap that away?

Before starting any tapping session, be sure you have a drink of water. You brain works very hard during a tapping session and it requires hydration.  Drink water periodically during your tapping rounds as well.

Begin tapping, going around the tapping points that you typically use.

 The following script is a good one. It gradually takes you through your resistance. Repeat as often as needed, and use on every excuse that comes to mind.

The EFT Script for Overcoming Diet Resistance

“Even though I can’t lose weight because everybody in my family is overweight, I deeply and completely accept myself.”  Done three times.

I can’t lose weight.  It’s in my family. We’re all overweight. There is nothing I can do about it.  You can’t fight your genes. It’s not my fault. I have no control over this. I’m helpless against my family background. I’m doomed to be overweight just like mom or dad. There’s nothing I can do. It’s out of my hands. There’s no point even starting a diet. I don’t even want to lose weight. I want to be fat. I like being fat. It’s my destiny. Nobody is going to make me lose weight  Nobody is going to control me. I won’t give in to anybody. I’ll stay as fat as I want. It’s my business anyway.

Of course, I can see some advantages to losing weight. It might be worth considering some  day. Not today though. Not for a very long time. Maybe sometime I might consider losing weight. I might be okay to look slim and fit. I might like how I feel when I’m slender. I’d probably feel better. My partner would like it. My sex life might improve. My health would be better.

Maybe its worth thinking about losing weight. Maybe I might think about going on a diet. I think I might. I might do it. I might really get serious about this. I’m gong to do it Yes I am. I’m going to start losing weight right away. I want to do this.

It’s my decision. I’m in control here. I intend to have a slim, fit healthy body. I deserve to be healthy and fit. I’m doing it now. I’m doing it. I’m ready now. I can do this thing and I will do it. And that’s the way its going to be.

This is just one of the many ways that EFT tapping can help to promote weight loss.

No Motivation to Lose Weight? Try EFT Tapping

February 21st, 2008

One of the most challenging aspects of going on a diet (or making a lifestyle change) is overcoming the initial resistance and apathy.

You know you need to lose weight. You know your need to. You know the quality of your life will improve if you rid yourself of the unwanted pounds.

Maybe every week you vow that you’ll start on Monday. But when Monday comes, the diet doesn’t happen.

Maybe you don’t even vow to start on Monday. Maybe you’ve just given up and resigned yourself to being overweight.

 There is some good news for you. EFT tapping will remove this resistance easily and fairly quickly.

First, make a list of all the reasons why you do not take action.

A Few Popular Excuses for Avoiding Losing Weight

You may be familiar with some of the following:

    I hate thinking about changing my eatingI hate giving in to all the people who are nagging me to lose weightIt’s no use anyway. I always gain it backWhat’s the point? I’m happy the way I am.I don’t believe obesity is as dangerous as they say.

    If I lose weight, I’ll have to get a new wardrobe and I can’t afford it

    I want to but I just haven’t got the will power

    Food is the best thing in my life and I don’t want to give it up

    I’m just a big loser anyway

    People should appreciate me for myself and not my size

    I can’t lose weight. It’s genetic

    All of my family members are overweight.

    My friends are overweight and they won’t chum with me if I lose weight

    I like eating foods full of fat and sugar

    I hate exercise

    I’ll start after Christmas, my birthday, my vacation, etc.

    I’m under too much stress

    I don’t have time to plan healhy meals

    I have to eat in restaurants a lot and you can’t lose weight that way

    It’s a side effect of my medication

    Healthy food costs too much

    I’d have to prepare separate meals for my family

    Everybody gains weight after menopause

    Everybody gains weight after having a baby

    I sit at a desk all day. I can’t get any exercise

    Everybody with my ethnic background eats a lot

    People tempt me to overeat

    I don’t process carbohydrates properly

    My metabolism is too slow

    etc.

Once you have identified your own excuses, begin doing EFT tapping on each one of them.
