Recycle - Plastic Bottle Recycling Can Help the Environment

Ponani Sukumar on why recycling helps the environment.

By Bryan Burbank

Plastic bottles are everywhere and they make it much easier for us to get the products we want in lighter bottle than glass. It is important to the environment that we recycle so that we can keep the plastic bottles out of our land fields. You need to remember that plastic does not go away it will sit in a field and never decompose and this can cause a lot of problems. Greenhouse Gas Emissions can be greatly improved when you recycle and the best part is you will be helping to improve the world we live in.

You will also save in many other ways as well such as oil because it takes oil to make those plastic bottles that we use. If instead of throwing them away so they can sit in a land field then you can reuse them and you will use less oil. This is a positive thing because there is only so much oil available to us. We can also reduce green house gasses because it takes more energy to make new bottles from oil then to recycle old bottles. Make sure you have a place in your house that you designated as a bin that the recycled bottles go and this will make it easier for all of your family to get involved.

Remember that recycling is a crucial part of saving the world we live in and with making a few changes it is easy to start recycling. It is important to make it fun and get your whole family involved so that they will be making a difference.

Survival Skills Training 101 - Do You Know What to Do?

By John Branson

Survival skills training is becoming more and more important as our world becomes more dangerous. Even the most basic survival skills can mean the difference between life and death in several situations. You’ll never stop learning new ways to survive, because potential threats are endless, but the more you know, the better your chances for safety and security.

To get you started on the right foot, this article breaks down three of the most basic and vital survival skills that could come in handy in the majority of survival situations.

How to Find or Create Shelter

If you find yourself in a location without appropriate shelter, then exposure to nature and the elements could be your greatest threat. You’ll need to know how to use your environment to your advantage and create some sort of shelter to protect you, not only from weather conditions, but wild animals as well. In terms of shelter, there are actually two different kinds you need to focus on.

First, clothing is the most basic form of shelter and protection. Ideally, you should wear as many layers as possible, so you can stay warm in colder climates, but also remove one layer at a time as temperatures increase. Clothing will also help protect your skin from prolonged sun exposure, until you can find shade, which leads us to the second form of shelter. This is the more obvious form, any type of enclosure that will shelter you from rain and sun, while also creating at least some type of barrier between you and wildlife in the area. More often than not, you will have to construct your enclosure using only materials you can find around you, like rocks, sticks, leaves, clothes, and trees. A great way to practice this is to find a nearby wooded area, then try to build a small fort using only your surroundings and the clothing on your back.

Harnessing the Power of Fire

One of the most powerful and effective tools at your disposal is also one of the most magical: fire. Being able to create fire without the modern help of matches and lighters can be a literal life-saver in almost any outdoor survival situation. Fire is so versatile in that it can provide warmth, send a smoke signal, cook food, boil water, light up your area at night, and even keep some insects and animals at bay.

S.O.S. - Help!

While the above two skills will allow your to survive for much longer, you probably would like to return to civilization as soon as possible. You need to make as much noise and/or visual cues as you can to try and get the attention of potential rescuers. Fortunately, the fire discussed above will help do this on its own, but there are other ways to signal for assistance too. You can use pieces of glass or mirror to reflect the sun’s rays at a passing boat or plane. If you happen to have a whistle or can make any other type of loud noise using rocks or even your voice, you could try to catch the ears of those nearby. The key to any signal for help is to send them in threes.

How to Take Inspired Action

By T Ryan

Inspired action is one of the reasons apparent miracles occur. It is the reason people do things that other people and even themselves did not think were possible. It is responsible for some of the greatest breakthroughs in history. Whether the people taking the inspired action at the time new what they were doing or not, they would not have achieved there goals if they had not taken inspired action.

So, how can we go about deliberately taking inspired action. Well I would first like to take a look at ourselves to understand how and why inspired action works.

Firstly, many people generally accept that we are made up of three parts: mind, body, spirit or however else you prefer to term it. Now the way I like to see it is that we are here in our physical bodies on the ground doing things. Our spirit part is a part of the overall energy of the universe connecting all things flowing freely and the mind part is the connector between the two.

Now here is how to take inspired action: first you must make your intentions clear. Write out what you want to achieve, meditate on it, tell people what you intend and visualise it regularly, doing this gradually transfers the intention upstairs to the spiritual part of ourselves.

Now remember, that part of ourselves is part of the ether, it is free flowing energy, moving all around us and can see all things. It can see things around us and ahead of us that from the ground we cannot possibly see. Once it is clear on our intentions it can take a look around and see how to bring our desires into being in the fastest possible way. It knows the fastest way to do so and the way it chooses may not make any sense to us in our physical bodies because we cannot see all that it can see. Do not worry about this.

Messages and prompts will then be sent down to us and they could be very subtle. They could come in the form of words in a poem, words in a song that seem to stand out, a chance conversation, a strange coincidence but come they will and you have to be ready for them.

When you get these intuitive messages it is your job to follow up on them even if they don’t make any sense at the time, remember you can not see the way, but if you trust what you feel and go with it, that is when remarkable things can happen, intuition is your short cut!

The strength and ease of connection between your mind, body and spirit is the key to all of this. The stronger the lines of communication the better it will work. To improve these internal lines of communication you simply need to spend more quiet time. This can be praying, meditating, relaxing, anything where you take time out. These things will aid you in gaining clarity on the intuitive nudges that you will receive and in relaying your clear intentions.

Vision Boards - Powerful Personal Development Tools

By Adi J Knight

Many of us have heard of Vision Boards but few understand what they really are and just how powerful they can be. Start looking at Vision Boards as powerful personal development tools, which if used correctly will transform your life forever.

First things first, when you make your own Vision Board be sure that you know what you want. This might sound incredibly simple but this is the biggest mistake that many people make. The majority of people will throw a few pictures of sandy beaches, fast cars and mountains of money together, expect those things to come immediately into their lives and then blame the vision board when nothing happens. This is definitely the wrong way to go about things.

When you make your own vision board, it’s vitally important that you first sit down and clarify what end result you want, just as you would with a written goal. This is the most important part and should not be underestimated. When creating a personal development plan, you would not pick a random goal from the air then take action in trying to achieve it; neither do you with vision boards. The pictures on your vision board are meant to embody what you really want, the end results that you’re going to achieve.

Once you’ve decided on what you want the next key thing to do is choose pictures that spark an emotional feeling within you. The great thing about vision boards is that they are image based and pictures can often capture the essence of what you want much greater than words ever could. Choose pictures that make you feel great and which inspire you to take action.

Overall, begin and see a vision board as a personal development tool, a tool that keeps you focused on what you really want to be, do or have in your life, one that inspires you to take action. These are the first steps in taking in getting the most out of your vision board and changing your life forever!

What Are the New Thought Concepts?

By M. Daniel Walsh

Article recommended by Schlarbaum Capital Management

Social movements are very organic things, they just sort of happen as people come together with a variety of shared beliefs. We call these shared beliefs a paradigm. Paradigms are fairly loose things, often defying concrete definitions. Most of the time, as in the New Thought Movement, the movement is sparked by an assortment of characters expounding and exposing distinct yet similar beliefs (paradigms) usually with commonly held elements.

For clarity’s sake; every movement is bound to have an assortment of leaders within it teaching similar, yet distinct version of the same thing. The common elements held by all of these teachers make up the paradigm itself. These common elements when taken together make up the paradigm of the movement, regardless of the core concepts themselves.

The reason this is important to understand is that the New Thought Movement has gotten really big all over the world in the last 150 years. In fact it’s gotten so big and has so many well recognized leaders each offering their own versions of the same thing that it’s become pretty difficult to separate the forest from the trees and pin any sort of definition on it at all. If you ask ten people what New Thought is, you’ll get ten different answers.

The Common Elements

What if we really did ask ten different people what the core New Thought Concepts are? Each of them gives a unique answer, but are there elements common to the them all?

The New Thought Movement, like most other social movements has a tendency to both congeal, and defy congealment. Here’s what I mean, organizations like INTA (International New Thought Alliance), AGNT (Association for Global New Thought), and ANTN (Affiliated New Thought Network) have all emerged and sought to become the central body of the movement.

Each of these organizations seeks to present a common, unified face of the movement to the global community. However, like those ten people who each offers us a different definition, the same thing happens across these massive international organizations. Three central groups, three different Declarations of Principles.

This is all very natural and happens in any movement of sufficient size. The problem is that with so many groups attempting to define the same thing in different ways, there’s a tendency for the static to become overwhelming. So instead of looking at what makes them different, let’s look at what they all hold in common, we’ll call these common elements, “The Core Concepts of the New Thought Movement.”

* Core Concept One: Universal Spirituality and Divine Goodness The first core common across all new thought belief systems is the notion that there is a omni-present divine force of goodness pervasive though all things and people. In nearly all New Thought Schools of the Thought, the concept of a divine force which is ‘pervasive’ and ‘inherently good’ are cornerstone concepts.
* Core Concept Two: The ability to align with this divine force The second core concept is that we, as humans have the innate ability to harmonize and align with this divine force of goodness. Fairly universal within the New Thought Movement is the idea that: Health, Prosperity, and Love are all possible through aligning and harmonizing with this divine force. Extremist’s within the Movement hold that any sort of healing (including cancer and AIDS) can be accomplished with this alignment, and fantastic riches, beauty, and accomplishment are also possible through this alignment.

Loved As You Are - 5 Benefits of Giving Up the Past Because You Are Loved

By Dr. Robert Henry Schwenk

Article selected by Mark Schlarbaum

The Ultimate Source loves you just as you are. (Some will name this Ultimate Source as God.) You see, nothing you have done or not done, said or not said, thought or not thought, keeps The Ultimate Source from loving you just as you are. That means, simply, that you are accepted just as you are in this moment. Nothing from the past needs to haunt you. The past has no grip on you. The past has no power to poison the present moment. The only power the past has over you is the amends you may need to make for that which you did in the past. But this is normal. The Universe runs on the idea of karma. Which means that which you sow, that shall you reap. But making amends is not the same as being controlled by your past. The past only has the meaning you give. And if you give it only the meaning of making amends where amends need to be made, then the past has no power over you.

So, what are the five benefits of giving up the past?

1. You are free to make decisions based on this moment alone. If the past does not control you, which it does not, then you are free in this moment to decide.

2. You are free to reinvent yourself in this moment. The past need not define who you are in this moment. So, if you need to be a new you right now, be so.

3. Because you are free to make decisions or to reinvent yourself in this moment, you can dream as big as you wish. Nothing from the past is holding back your dreams.

4. Because you are liberated from the past and because you are free to reformulate yourself in this moment, there is nothing you cannot plan for. When you can conceive it and believe it, you can achieve. (W. Clement Stone) Your past does not hold you back.

5. Because you carry no prejudicial love or hate from the past, you are free, in this moment, to be a true human being to another human being. You can meet whomever you please with no pre-conceived ideas of how they or you “should be.”

Just think of the release from tension and anxiety you can find within yourself when realize you are loved just as you are. Because you are loved just as you are, The Ultimate Source has no preconceived ideas of how you should be either. You are free to be.

Self-Development Tips - 3 Ways to Overcome Procrastination

By Ruth Sias

Article placed here by A Forever Recovery

Procrastination is brutal no matter what industry you are in or role in life you take. It’s a waste of time and almost as bad as being lazy in terms of productivity. There are not too many people that I know of that haven’t had procrastination plague them at one time or another. Usually there is a root cause that triggers us to procrastinate maybe it’s something we are afraid to do or just plain do not like doing and so on.

Whatever the cause that has got you procrastinating here are 3 tips to help you overcome procrastination:

1. Check out your environment. Is your environment, home, office, work, car setting you up to procrastinate? Is your atmosphere cluttered? Are you able to know exactly where to find the things you need on a daily basis? Are there other distractions, like the TV on, music, etc.?

Look around the areas in your life, if they need to be cleaned up and organized, do so! If you have to turn off the phone, the cell and the TV to get some quiet time to work on your task than do so.

Take the precautions necessary to have a more productive life. Simply put, clean up your act and leave no possible distraction left.

2. Forget the last minute. If you are the type of person that waits till the last minute to get something done, STOP! Not only is it stressful, it is simply not conducive to having a productive and fruitful life. It is highly unlikely that you are doing your body any good or the project or task of that moment any good by putting it off till the last moment.

Plan ahead and breakdown the task into smaller pieces that can be done from assignment to date it should be completed. Give yourself some extra time at the end so if a challenge arises you can take care of it and still meet your timeline without stress.

In the end by planning and not waiting till the last moment we not only have more time to do the things we enjoy in life we also get to live with less stress.

3. Stop that stinking thinking. If you do not enjoy what you do for a living or maybe a particular task often we create a bunch of negative self talk. For instance we think in our heads or maybe even tell others how annoying it is, how much we hate it, how difficult it is, how boring it is and so on. This type of negative talk and emotions make us want to do the task even less and causes us to drag our feet on starting and working the task. This makes the task take longer to do and sucks up our time.

Instead of thinking about what you do not like, switch it up and think about what you do like about the task or better yet how getting the task done quickly and efficiently we enable you to do something you enjoy.

If we believe and think that the task will be easy that we will conquer any challenges with ease and that we can get it done fast and on-time or better yet before it is due and keep the negative talk out we will find ourselves procrastinating less and getting more done in the same amount of time with less stress.

The key to self-talk is to make it believable to you, if you do not believe what you are saying then it becomes ineffective.

The Current US Economy & the Changing World

By Michael Fritz

Many people, I would say 90% of people, don’t ever look further than what’s in front of them.

Now with that said, read the rest of my article.

Did you know that 75 of the wealthiest people ever born going back to Cleopatra, 14 men out of that same group, (20%) were born within 10 years of each other in the US? The first and second on the list were Rockefeller & Carnegie. So what did this group of 14 men have in common?

Between the years of 1860 and 1870, the US went through one of the greatest transformations in history. This is when the rail roads where build, and when wall street was build and the economies of the time where tarring down. They were being rebuilt from the ground up. So everything that people knew, from pilgrims to farmers was being shifted into what became the new wealth of the world. The problem is, it’s hard to see something like this emerging when we don’t know what will change the current us economy.

Think about what’s happening for a second. Number one, the current economy has monetary policies, and special interest projects that are making the rich richer and everyone else poorer. In turn, because of the damaging fiscal policies of our government, the value of the dollar is dropping, and the future of our country seems to have a different theme. The world will change.

Three Things to Look For to See If the Economy is Rebounding

By Brian Krassenstein

We have all seen things from an economics standpoint that we never thought would have happened in our lifetime. The Dow went from over 14,000 to under 6500 in a matter of 18 months, and talks of another Great Depression were heard on almost every US news channel. Things though did not get into depression territory, and they look now to be stabalizing at least a bit. So, when will the rebound occur in the general economy? Here are three things to look for that will determine that an economic rebound is taking shape.

#1 Temporary Work Force Gains
Before the unemployment rate starts decreasing significantly, there will be a pick up of temporary jobs available. This is because as business’s start earning more, or start sensing that they will be earning more money, they want to expand. Before hiring permanent employees, they usually hire temporary ones to fill the spots until it is confirmed that a turn around has begun. Look for a rise in temporary workforce numbers for 3-4 months in a row before getting too excited

#2 Reduction in the Housing Supply
The housing market got us into the mess we are in, and will need to rebound in order for us to get out of it completely. The Index is measured by the total number of months worth of homes that are on the market given the sales rates. As mortgages become more available, and people become more optimistic they will begin either buying homes, or taking their homes off the market. Once there are about 6 or 7 months worth of homes on the market, we may be in pretty good shape.

#3 Corporation Mergers and Acquisition
When large corporations begin to both merge and acquire other companies within their sector, we know that the managers of these companies feel the stock prices are way undervalued and that the hope for a recovery is ever so closer. We are beginning to see some acquisitions, so maybe we are not as far away from a recovery as some think.
