MOTIVATION, THE HEART OF SELF IMPROVEMENT

Pain may sometimes be the reason why people change. Getting flunked grades make us realize that we need to study. Debts remind us of our inability to look for a source of income. Being humiliated gives us the ‘push’ to speak up and fight for ourselves to save our face from the next embarrassments. It may be a bitter experience, a friend’s tragic story, a great movie, or an inspiring book that will help us get up and get just the right amount of motivation we need in order to improve ourselves.

With the countless negativities the world brings about, how do we keep motivated? Try on the tips I prepared from A to Z…

A - Achieve your dreams. Avoid negative people, things and places. Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “the future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”

B - Believe in your self, and in what you can do.

C – Consider things on every angle and aspect. Motivation comes from determination. To be able to understand life, you should feel the sun from both sides.

D – Don’t give up and don’t give in. Thomas Edison failed once, twice, more than thrice before he came up with his invention and perfected the incandescent light bulb. Make motivation as your steering wheel.

E – Enjoy. Work as if you don’t need money. Dance as if nobody’s watching. Love as if you never cried. Learn as if you’ll live forever. Motivation takes place when people are happy.

F – Family and Friends – are life’s greatest ‘F’ treasures. Don’t loose sight of them.

G – Give more than what is enough. Where does motivation and self improvement take place at work? At home? At school? When you exert extra effort in doing things.

H – Hang on to your dreams. They may dangle in there for a moment, but these little stars will be your driving force.

I – Ignore those who try to destroy you. Don’t let other people to get the best of you. Stay out of toxic people – the kind of friends who hates to hear about your success.

J – Just be yourself. The key to success is to be yourself. And the key to failure is to try to please everyone.

K – keep trying no matter how hard life may seem. When a person is motivated, eventually he sees a harsh life finally clearing out, paving the way to self improvement.

L – Learn to love your self. Now isn’t that easy?

M – Make things happen. Motivation is when your dreams are put into work clothes.

N – Never lie, cheat or steal. Always play a fair game.

O – Open your eyes. People should learn the horse attitude and horse sense. They see things in 2 ways – how they want things to be, and how they should be.

P – Practice makes perfect. Practice is about motivation. It lets us learn repertoire and ways on how can we recover from our mistakes.

Q – Quitters never win. And winners never quit. So, choose your fate – are you going to be a quitter? Or a winner?

R – Ready yourself. Motivation is also about preparation. We must hear the little voice within us telling us to get started before others will get on their feet and try to push us around. Remember, it wasn’t raining when Noah build the ark.

S – Stop procrastinating.

T – Take control of your life. Discipline or self control jives synonymously with motivation. Both are key factors in self improvement.

U – Understand others. If you know very well how to talk, you should also learn how to listen. Yearn to understand first, and to be understood the second.

V – Visualize it. Motivation without vision is like a boat on a dry land.

W – Want it more than anything. Dreaming means believing. And to believe is something that is rooted out from the roots of motivation and self improvement.

X – X Factor is what will make you different from the others. When you are motivated, you tend to put on “extras” on your life like extra time for family, extra help at work, extra care for friends, and so on.

Y – You are unique. No one in this world looks, acts, or talks like you. Value your life and existence, because you’re just going to spend it once.

Z – Zero in on your dreams and go for it!!!

Baby products highly fragranced

Yes I am on my soap box again!

Let me ask you why do babies and littlies in general need fragranced skin care and bath wash?

Do we really need to smother our kids in fragrance derived from nasty allergy causing chemicals?

Afterall, every one knows and loves the “ baby smell” and news flash it’s a totally natural scent! Its not because we bath them in pefumed products and cover them in sweet smelling moisturizers.

A child of any age has their own gorgoeous smell due to their natural pherimones so why do we try and cover this up with irritants in the form of baby cosmetics?

Funnily enough one of the worlds most well known brands Johnson and Johnson can have the worst ingrediants for bubs listed in some of their baby care range.

For instance, Johnson and Johnson Baby Bath almost reeks with fragrance it is a gentle cleanser but the fragrance component is an allergic reaction just waiting to happen!

Of course have you ever checked the back of a Johnson and Johnson baby bath product? When you do you will find our old mate Sodium laureth sulfate listed within the first five ingrediants.

In general, a child’s skin would be better off when we introduce it to products that are fragrance and colour free that contain light cleansing agents not skin stripping chemicals.

Go organic why not try using sweet almond oil in the bath instead! Need I say more?

Cosmetics – what’s in them what do you pay for?

If you use cosmetics, and lets face it we all do at least once a day in our basic hygiene and grooming, you would know that most cosmetics today are getting way too pricey. It may seem the better the product the bigger the price tag.

Have you ever asked yourself “what’s in them and what am I actually paying for?” Is it the way your favorite soap mascara, or shampoo is packaged or is there a ground breaking secret ingredient contained in the formula that the manufacturer is promising will perform miracles (think anti aging creams)?

Either way I can bet it doesn’t cost the the manufacturer a bundle to produce the product but we do pay for it at the check out counter its called profit!

However, in saying that most cosmetics are made from crude oil refining by products and are sold in large volumes based on daily crude oil market rates. So naturally the large crude oil companies have a vested interest in the worlds cosmetics market! I can guarantee you that most cosmetics are made up of oil by products in them.

For instance, sodium laureth sulphate is very commonly used in your basic household cosmetics. Did you know sodium laureth sulphate is a detergent and surfactant (are wetting agents that lower the surface tension of a liquid, allowing easier spreading) found in many personal care products (soaps, shampoos toothpaste etc.)?

It is an inexpensive and very effective foamer that’s why the manufacturers use it. We humans like to see lots of suds when we wash as we associate it with being clean! Its also a cultural thing remember being washed head to toe with velvet soap by grandma? What you may not know is that sodium laureth sulphate is listed in the chemical world as a “known irritant “it can also CAUSE irritation after extended exposure.

In other words, if you weren’t allergic to a product containing it after a period of use its highly likely you will be. Products containing sodium laureth sulphate can affect people who are prone to eczema and other irritants.

These substances provide a foaming quality to the cosmetic product, allowing for better distribution of the product while bathing whether it be washing hair or skin or even whilst brushing your teeth. When rinsed off, the sodium laureth sulphate will have cleaned the area but will have stripped it of moisture from the top layers of skin.

In people with sensitive skin (prone to dermatitis, acne, eczema, psoriasis and chemical sensitivity), the drying property of sodium laureth sulphate and these type of detergents can cause flare-ups of skin conditions or may worsen existing conditions.

The key to checking out cosmetic labels is this.

The first 5 listed ingredients are what the product is mainly made up of. With the first listed ingredient as the main component the second as runner up and so on and so forth.

So take my advice, check out the list of ingredients on the back of the cosmetics you buy in the supermarket BEFORE you get to the check out counter.

Do it for yourself but more importantly for your families. There just may be an ingredient listed that is causing skin irritations or sensitivities that you never thought of .
