Understanding The Law of Belief

September 4th, 2010 Hans K Anderson No comments

The Law of Belief states that whatsoever you believe with feeling and conviction becomes your reality. It is not until you change your beliefs that you can Start looking to change your performance and your reality.

Another way to state this law is in the context of having faith. One’s ability is talked about in all of the religions of the world to eternally keep faith, as being a key to happiness and success. Whether you choose to follow religious dogma or not, the Law of Belief is something which can either help you achieve success or keep you from achieving it – depending upon whether you live in accordance with the law.

You have heard the doubters and the naysayers out there who always proclaim, “I’ll believe it when I see it!” In reality, it is the other way around; it is not until you believe it, that you will see it (no matter what “it” is)!

Self-limiting beliefs are perhaps the most damaging of all thoughts, since they absolutely will keep you from the success that you may want, but don’t believe you can attain. There is an old saying that states,”whether you think you can or you can’t, your correct?!” This saying is altogether congruent with the Law of Belief. Let me explain through the use of the following hypothetical situation:

You are up for a promotion at work. You feel you are ready and have worked hard, but do not believe with conviction that you will get the promotion. Perhaps you feel there are other candidates that are better or more qualified, or that you are all important(p) in your current role (now there is a mistaken belief!) or it may be some other negative thought pattern. If these are the beliefs that you are holding in your mind, it is all but guaranteed that you will not get the promotion. Why? Because your self-limiting beliefs will conspire to hold you back!

The Law of Belief, when understood and practiced, can help anyone to manifest those things in life that they in truth want. The trick is that you need absolute clarity on your objectives; a strong plan to get you there and then must believe that you are destined to achieve them. You must continuously reinforce this belief in your own mind, as time passes.

Persevering is one of the greatest challenges and to sustain focus on your goals, even when faced with seemingly insurmountable obstacles or setbacks. The interesting thing in these circumstances is that we tend to observe the world from a very narrow point of view – which is that obstacle are negative. In fact, obstacles help us to grow and can be positive! Sometimes things go awry and it isn’t until much later that we discover that, whatever the setback was, it was there for good reason. We learn and become stronger from the experience.

By maintaining faith, by continuing to live in accordance with the Law of Belief, we are able to achieve our goals, although the path may be somewhat different than we had originally thought! If however, we give up at the first sign of trouble, in other words, our faith or belief fail us, then we can never hope to reach our goals.
If you can learn to persevere in the face of all obstacles, then eventually you will create the reality that you desire.

What You Can Do

There are two action exercises, which you can put in place immediately, to help you in this area:

1.Bob-Proctor would tell you to begin to believe immediately, that you are destined to be successful in whatever areas you desire. Get very clear and focused on your true desires, make plans to achieve them and then believe, with absolute conviction, that you will achieve them. Once you believe it, the universe will conspire to help you achieve it.

2. Get into the habit of acting as though you have already accomplished your goals and are the success you want to be. Your new behaviors will influence your beliefs, which in turn will help you to manifest your desires!

Achieving success has no mystery – it is available to all of us. One need only be aware of, understand and, most significantly, live in accordance with, Universal Law! Believing that you will attain the levels of success that you truly want, is the first step.

How to Spot the Signs of Cyberbullying

August 31st, 2010 Health Information No comments

As more chances arise for tweens to be on the internet , the incidence of cyberbullying have increased .  Cyberbullies and their actions should not be taken lightly , especially since it can sometimes have very dire consequences.  It’s critical to discuss the topic with your tween and also about steps they can take to end cyberbullying.

Cyberbullying is when one child bullies another child in an online environment .  Even though the bullying is not taking place in person, it’s still something to be taken seriously. Cyberbullying, like in person bullying , happens when one kid fixates on another and systematically works on spreading rumors about them , usually online – in social networks, through instant messages, or via email. Unfortunately cyberbullying is not a one-time occurrence – the persist until the behavior is addressed by victim or by an authority figure.

Children will handle cyberbullinying in different ways.  Many kids will take the bullying to heart – even if to a parent, the signs are not apparent . Victims of cyberbullying usually become self-conscious or withdraw.  Most tweens want acceptance from their peers and since cyberbullying is the direct opposite of this, the victims may become very listless .

What can you do to stop cyberbullying?  Firstly, tell your child not to share any passwords or logins to instant messenge or email accounts. If they are on social networks, make sure that they only friend kids they know in the real world, and that they know how to “unfriend” someone.  Be sure to save any threatening messages your child receives and bring them to a school administrator or the bully’s parents. Make sure that you encourage your child to tell you if he or she is receiving any cyber threats. Do not let you child handle cyberbullying on her own.

On the flip side, make sure your tween doesn’t succumb to any pressure to become the cynerbully herself.   Teach children polite internet etiquette.  Make sure they know that saying mean and untrue things online is just as bad as saying it to someone’s face .   Ask them to envision about how they would feel if someone said mean things about them online. 

As a mother , cyberbullying is just a new twist on the old school yard bully syndrome. But because of the anonymity of the internet, more and more kids feel they can play the game .  Teach your child not to be a cyberbully and to report to you anytime she is the victim of cyberbullying. This is one school yard behavior you don’t want to see go too far.

Sun Safety Tips for Kids

August 5th, 2010 Health Information No comments

Summer sun safety for your children is a key concern for many parents. Here are some thoughts for sun safety for kids.

Sunscreen for kids is just as important as sunscreen for adults.  Dermatologists recommend applying sunscreen on children at least 15 to 30 minutes before they go outside to play .  Even getting a serious sunburn just once can increase a child’s risk of developing skin cancer in the future.

Sunscreen for kids should be re-applied every two hours your children are outside .  If they’re swimming, you need to up the frequency of re-application.

Another sun safety tip is to stay inside during the hours of 10 am to 4 pm ( although not very realistic), since this is when the sun is at its strongest.  This is proscribed even on cloudy or overcast days, since the sun’s rays can still penetrate the cloud cover and cause sunburns.

For play time, consider sending your children out early in the morning or later in the afternoon.  Plan a mid-day  break inside with their favorite indoor activities. 

Another tip to remember is hydration.  children have a tendency to become dehydrated in the summer, not realizing that their playing is causing them to sweat and lose water.

To prevent overheating and dehydration follow these guidelines :

- Have indoor or quiet activities for the hotter part of the day

- Find a shady spot – whether it’s in your backyard or the park, stake out some shade for children to rest and recharge in.

- Plan to wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing .  Bring plenty of water,  and wear sunglasses and apply sunscreen

Sun safety for kids means more than just putting on sunscreen.  As a parent, you want to prevent sunburns, but you also need to be on the lookout for signs of overheating and dehydration.    Just keep applying the sunscreen, encourage your children to drink plenty of water and provide quiet, shady time for breaks and sun safety for your children.

From Training Wheels to a Two Wheeler

August 5th, 2010 Health Information No comments

To many children, learning how to ride a bike can mean the ultimate sense of freedom.  Do you recall that feeling?  Perhaps your mom or dad held onto the back of your bike and ran with you until you were ready pedal on your own .  But that’s not the only way to teach your child how to ride a bike, and here are some suggestions on how to teach them. 

Learning to ride a bike can be a trying situation for kids, so keep these helpful tips in mind to make the experience less stressful :

- Learning to ride a bike should be a fun, a triumphant experience .  If it’s not your child will want to quit before they can really get started.

- Are your children physically ready? You may be more excited to get them started riding a bike than they are, so make sure that they are physically and emotionally ready to handle the challenge of a wobbly two-wheeled vehicle.

- Find a level, protected place for them to learn to ride a bike.  Clear your driveway of obstacles or find a quiet section of a parking lot.

- Safety First   All children should have a helmet, knee and elbow pads on every time they ride a bike.

If your child has mastered a bike with training wheels, they may be ready to go solo.  This can happen anytime around ages six or up, but you don’t have to push them.  In order for them to learn to ride a bike, you will need to remove the training wheels and adjust the seat height so your child’s feet can touch the ground with their legs straight.   This way they can maintain their balance easily.

As the first lesson in learning to ride a bike, try having them scoot on the bike, with their feet on the ground.  For the next lesson , get them to coast on the bike down a slight incline with their feet up off the ground. 

Next , comes turning.  Once they are coasting on their bike, have your kid start to practice turning. Begin with big easy turns – you can even set up markers in a practice course to help them focus on when to make their turns.

After they have mastered turning, then your child can learn to pedal.  Hold onto the back of the bike and have them put one foot on each pedal.  Allow them to balance while you explain about pedaling and braking.

Once they have pedaling and stopping down, then you’re ready to let them go. Start by holding onto the back of the bike and running with them.  When they seem comfortable with this, try letting go and have them go alone.  If they fall, pick them up, brush them off and encourage them to get right back up. 

Teaching your children to ride a bike can be an enjoyable experience for both of you   Using these bike riding tips, you can make the experience a pleasurable one for both of you – and before you know it, you’ll be going on family bike rides .

Single Mums and Dads Sharing Custody

August 1st, 2010 Health Information No comments

Normally, child custody problems occur throughout a separation. But custody matters happen with parents who have children who never wed. If an unmarried couple who has a little one separates, the daddy may take steps to seek custody. With combined families, expanded families as well as foster families, a stepparent or a grandparent or a foster mother or father who has been a child’s primary caretaker might get custody.

Everyone might initially agree on custody, but a child custody dispute will in all probability result in court. If it does, a court will award custody in the best interests of the little one when deciding. Which means a legal court will give custody to the person who will provide for the child’s happiness, wellness, security as well as well-being.

Single Father Looking for Custody

Even if an unmarried dad is recorded on the baby’s birth record and paternity is confirmed, it doesn’t mean that he possesses any kind of custody privileges. When looking for custody, a dad would indicate that he’s dedicated to having a relationship with his child by being involved as well as taking part in raising the child.

3rd party or Non-parental Custody

An even more complex scenario arises if an individual apart from the child’s mother or father wishes custody. Such a person is occasionally called a 3rd party or non-parent. Examples of a third party or non-parent can incorporate a:

  • Stepparent
  • Foster mom or dad
  • Grandparent

A non-parent or other party seeking child custody has extremely high standards to surmount. Initially, you should confirm that you’ve a right, or ranking, to seek custody of the child. After that, you must show that child custody with the lawful mother or father is hazardous to the child or that the parent is not fit.

Deciding Custody

Not one single aspect decides an award of custody. Instead, a court takes into consideration the best interests of the child. State laws vary, however when deciding best interests of the child.

  • The baby’s preference
  • Parents’ wishes regarding custody
  • Emotional bonds between the child and parents, siblings and extended family
  • The child’s adjustment to his house, school as well as society
  • The physical and mental well being of the child, mom and dad

Other things a legal court might take into account comprise the current scenario of the child, as well as whether there is medicine or alcohol abuse by a parent, or any bodily, psychological or sexual mistreatment in the child’s residence.

Custody problems involve extremely individual, emotional stress. An unmarried mother and father have the same child custody privileges as divorcing moms and dads. The privileges depend on the parent-child rapport and the greatest interests of the child – not on whether mother and father are married.

Questions for Your Law Firm

  • Who is able to file for child custody?
  • How does setting up paternity affect child custody?
  • Does a non-parent or third party have any privileges to child custody?
  • How difficult is it to make child custody alterations?
