Breathe Out Stress Anytime, Anywhere

Breathe Out Stress Anytime, Anywhere

In today's frantic and fast-paced world, everything seems to happen at breakneck speed. It's vital that you take care of yourself so you remain calm and happy throughout the day. Thankfully, tools like yoga and meditation provide your mind and body with an opportunity to learn to deal with stress in an effective way.

Meditation and yoga exercise the mind. Just as your body needs regular exercise to remain fit and healthy, so does your mind. Once you practice these disciplines regularly, you'll be equipped to relax in even the most stressful situations. Your mind will stay at peace while you keep your body fit.

Try these easy tips to fill your life with the peace and happiness you crave through yoga and meditation:

1.      Make time to meditate. Meditation can be done anywhere and at any time. Once you've practiced meditation for a while, you'll find that your natural response to stress will be to meditate and relax.

·         Yoga teachers recommend that you practice early in the morning before starting the day for maximum effectiveness.

·         Many forms of meditation can be done during your morning commute to work, while waiting in line at the grocery store, or in the midst of other everyday tasks.

·         Children can use meditation to increase their concentration and mental focus. Meditation is also a good way for the elderly to keep mentally fit.

2.      Find a good place to meditate. The best place to practice meditation is in an open space, like a park or garden. This ensures proper oxygen intake and revitalizes the body.

·         Find a place where you can spend a few minutes without being interrupted. Seek a room or outdoor location that contains as few distractions as possible to maximize the effectiveness of your meditation.
 

3.      Focus on your breathing. The key to being able to relax on demand, even in the most stressful situations, is to learn to breathe in a way that supports your body.

·         Your stomach should stick out when you breathe in, as your lungs fill up with air.

·         At first, you'll need to consciously focus on your breathing. The more you practice, the quicker effective breathing will become second nature.

·         Slow, deep breaths are the focus of most meditation exercises. Shallow breathing causes you to feel more stressed. Deep breathing causes a relaxation response within your body.

4.      Find your perfect meditation. There are different forms of meditation, so keep experimenting with different meditation styles until you find one that you feel comfortable with.

·         The benefits of meditation occur over a period of time, so you'll want to be comfortable with the techniques you choose to use. Feeling comfortable will ensure that you'll stick with it long enough to see that the benefits are worth the effort.

You can learn different yoga and meditation techniques through classes taught by expert instructors or at home through DVDs and videos. Whichever way you choose to learn, the key is to begin today. The sooner you begin, the sooner you'll experience the life changing benefits of being able to relax and feel happy in any situation.

You'only get 30 seconds, is your Incredible Factor ready?



You Only Get 30 Seconds, is Your Incredible Factor Ready?



Well, actually a recent study showed that you actually only get 4.2 seconds to illustrate your competence in a networking situation. Or, if you are on twitter for business, you only get 140 characters. The person with whom you desire to network will look you up and down and based on your appearance or if your starting the dialogue online the appearance of your website, blog, profile on social media, etc, they will determine if they are interested in learning more or if they are ready to turn and walk away or click off your website, etc. In fact studies show that your influencing power during that first exchange is viewed like this: 55% is based on your appearance (live or virtual) - what you are wearing, how it looks, your hair, nails, shoes, etc or the appearance of your website, colors, copy content, etc; 38% is based on the tone of your voice and your non-verbal behavior - are you hunched over, arms crossed, frowning, etc or video on your home page, etc and 7% is based on the actual words that proceed out of your mouth. Although the 7% may seem like it is slim to none, it is extremely important that you tame the tongue and develop a positive message to share with the people with whom you will interact. Your business success depends on it.



So, how exactly will you spend your thirty seconds? I've got a suggestion that will help you to ensure that the time that you speak about the Incredible Factor in your business is time that leads to results and people wanting to know more about how they can spend time in your space.



"I work with..." (insert your well developed client profile). Your client profile should be in a well defined niche so that people can immediately determine if they or someone they know falls into the group of people with whom you work and solve the problems of.

"Who struggle with..." (here, insert the problem that they are at the point of paying for a solution to) It's important to get crystal clear on the problem that your Incredible Factor solves in the marketplace. Without it, no one is going to take action and desire to work with you.

"And want to..." (here, put the results that you help your ideal clients achieve over and over again. These results should be illustrated via testimonials on your website or verbal examples if asked.)

"I'm different from other ______ because I..." (list your direct competitors here based on your industry and explain your HUG (Hot Undeniable Gift) also known as your USP - Unique Selling Proposition)

"In working with me, my clients receive..." (here list one of the 4 key motivators that your Incredible Factor offers your clients - make more money, save more money, save time, reduce effort)

"Is there any reason why you wouldn't like to learn more?" Close the introduction with a question to determine if they or someone they know needs your Incredible Factor to solve a problem for them right now. Then, ask them the magic question and listen intently so that you can determine if you or someone you know could use their Incredible Factor.



If you are dressed appropriately, accessorized accordingly, are smiling and exuding positive energy as you work the room, not the refreshment table, and when asked that magic question, "So, _____, what do you do?" you respond as I've indicated above, you will begin to attract more of your ideal clients and be offered an opportunity to learn more about them while you show them how you can solve the problem that they are ready, willing and able to pay for a solution to right now.
