How to Really Relax
Want to give it a try?
Good. It’s remarkably simple. First, select a quiet room and Nit a comfortable chair. Adjust yourself so that you are as relaxed a, possible. This will probably mean slouching forward a bit, resting yon hands on your thighs and keeping your feet flat on the floor, somewhat in front of the position of your knees. (Some of these tips are mine, to Dr. Benson’s.)
Close your eyes. Now, consciously relax all your muscles, beginning with your feet. Move up through your legs, your stomach, your and your arms, your neck and even your face, jaws and mouth. When yarn jaw muscles are really relaxed, your lower teeth will probably not la touching your uppers.Breathe through your nose, and draw the breath into your belly, which should be rising and falling. Become aware of your breathing but don’t make a big deal out of taking deep breaths. They aren’t necessary. Breathe normally and naturally.
Now, as you breathe out, say the word “one” to yourself. Inhale Exhale and again repeat the word “one.”
Keep the muscles of your body relaxed, and continue breathing rhythmically and easily in and out, repeating the word “one” with every exhalation.
How to Get US$1000/month
Before I decided to monetize this blog since about a week ago, actually I have prepared my self with knowledge that related to make money from blogging. One of my effort to gain the internet marketing knowledge is by taking online course to someone who has national reputation as a remarkable seminar speaker. I knew about the online course he opened from his blog (but I don’t want to link to his blog as I am resentful to him right now).
He wrote a provoking article entitled “How to Get US$1000/month with Minimum Effort” or something like that. Who won’t interested with such kind of sweet promise? There are also many testimonials from his pupils about the course. After I have a brief chat about the course with him, I register to become his pupil, because he promise me 100% money back guarantee if I can’t get that amount of money a month after attending his class. Then I sent him US$167 for the tuition, that’s the fix price, I couldn’t bargain it. That was about a month ago!
Till this time I write this article, I never get the internet marketing knowledge from him! He always said busy when I asked about the course. I often online on YM, hoping he will appear, but that’s null. I wrote my complaint on his blog, but he suspended my complaint (maybe he only approves the testimonial comments on his blog, but suspends all the complaint comments), and he never contacts me.
Now I’m already numb. I disappointed. Just a suggestion for you, please consider 1000x before you deceide to join such kind of online course, even it is held by reputable person, has international reputation, and has many testimonials on his blog, but that’s not a guarantee. Mind this case, beware of internet deceiver!
The Advantages of Blogwalking
My friend who is a professional blogger with earning more than US$1500/month from internet marketing, said that blogwalking is wasting time and useless. Yeah, I can understand if he said so, because all his time is he use to optimizing and managing his websites and blogs, writes articles, and chatting with his friend or clients.
But I said in contrary with him about blogwalking. There are many advantages of blogwalking, at least two advantages I pick from blogwalking, and maybe you have more than two things. Firstly, blogwalking increases our knowledge about everything. For instance, if you blagwalking to a blog about world news, so your information about what happening world wide will be updated. Lately I’d like blogwalking to a blog with tips and tricks on blog monetizing. By blogwalking, I’ve learnt a little about Google Adsense, TLA, Adbrite, Paid Review, PTC/PTR, and Affiliate Program. Thanks to them who share their knowledge about those.
Secondly, blogwalking can generates traffic to our blog. How come?Well, it’s actually an indirectly effect of blogwalking, and not proved yet, I just conclude it by my self. When I blo walking in an interesting blog, I usually leave a comment. If my comment is contented, it can be assure that the publisher/blog owner will visits back to my blog. Besides, other blogger who also blogwalking to the blog and read my comment, also has possibility to continue the blogwalking to my blog, like what I do sometimes. I wrote based on my own experience, that I usually will visiting the blogger who left the impress comment. Let’s go blogwalking!
Keep Slim, Eat Slowly
What is the relation between keeping our body slim with eat slowly manner? I read from the research report that our brain nerve, called hypothalamus need time for about 20 minutes to detect that our stomach is already sated. It means, if we eat in hurry, our brain will 20 minutes late in detecting our stomach’s content, and it means we eat too much from stomach capacity. Imagine how many foods go into our stomach during 20 minutes. If we eat slowly, our brain will have time to response to the sated signal of stomach, and we stop eat just in the right time.
The expert suggests that the food in our mouth is chewed for 33 times before we swallow it. Hmmm…1, 2, 3,….. I never think about chewing my food.
