Secret laboratory's, Secret plans and Bliss.



Heard this gem on the radio while driving with the sunroof open, its a great sunshine song, enjoy.

Today was the turn of the third Nuero Health drink product test "Neuro Bliss" it contains vitamins and materials that can help aid happiness.
Firstly, it was pretty vitamin tasting but not bad by any means, I was considering all the usual aspects and of course drank a sip and said "I don't feel happier" which is not really the right approach.
However it did make being happy easier, this could be placebo but I really do believe that half of the drinks effects have to relate to thinking about it, because each drink is named after what it wants to achieve you already have half the battle won!
When you think about any state enough you start to feel it.
So, it is ok as drink and accomplished what it sets out to do.
Why not give it a try, I rate it higher than Sonic, mainly because I'm not a fan of energy drinks any more.

I've been active today, not really any exercise, mainly because of the office still not being complete, or "The (not so)Secret laboratory" as I've been calling it.
Today I've learnt that its clever to look at the the forward and reverse drives in your life.

For example I'll share you my forward and reverse drives.

Forward Drives, in other words, things I value most in my life.
----------------------------------------
Success (appreciation for ability)
Adventure (Ability to have Adventures)
----------------------------------------
You might say things like, money, or good food, but these are the means to the outcome.
No matter what goal you do it is always to achieve a state, for example you don't want lots of money because you want pictures of the queen(in the Uk), it is because they can buy you things that lead to pleasure, so what you really want a materialistic pleasures, not money.

Now the two reverse drives.
----------------------------------------
Betrayal (from people close to me)
Disappointment (from not reaching potential)
----------------------------------------

From analysing these I've deciphered my main two problems that effect me today, the two sentences that hold me back from achieve my two main forward drives.
----------------------------------------
Can I really do it?
What if I fail?
----------------------------------------
Now I can't have the success I will achieve by asking if I can do it, and over thinking for each eventuality, and holding myself up, making sure every detail has been covered.

The second statement, what if I fail, will be the main reason that I don't take big risks, and with big risks comes adventure, because I still believe it is possible to fail, when really all that failing achieves is the knowledge learned from what went wrong.

What you now have to do, once you know what drives you, and what hinders you, you then have to make sure you think about each's outcome, what do I mean?
Well start looking at your drives, imagine how you will feel if you achieve those goals, think of what you will look like, how happy you'd be etc.
Then think about your hindrances, and what will happen if they continue, all the lost opportunity's, the pain and sadness as a result of those hindrances.
See what you have to do is associate more pain with the negatives, your brain will learn that they cause you pain, and the brain will do all it can to escape pain, hopefully helping you actually achieve your goals!

So for me, I need to change those two statements (now that I've attached pleasure to the goals and pain to the hindrances) to something else, I now have these two sentences.
----------------------------------------
I CAN do it!
I can NEVER fail, only learn!
----------------------------------------
See, an effective way to think, hope you can take something from this.


Health today has been difficult, I'm going to start learning some quick, lasting meals that can be dipped into in emergencies when you just have no time, much like I experienced today.

Quick post summarizing the day.

Yesterday I drank the "Neuro Sport" drink, its a mineral water health drink, it retails at something like £1:90 a bottle, so it is not cheap, but its not that much more expensive than my previous energy source, which was "Relentless" and that had (I think) 50% or more of your RDA in sugar!

I loved the quotes on the cans:
"But I have lived, and have not lived in vain:
My mind may lose its force, my blood its fire,
And my frame perish even in conquering pain;
But there is that within me which shall tire
Torture and Time, and breathe when I expire;"

But it has some nasty side effects if used regularly, bowel problems and most importantly, and I learnt this the hard way, its only really TRICKING your body into thinking it has energy, telling the mind that you have way more energy than is actually in reserve, so when it wares off, you have a sugar crash, and on top of that your over exercising thanks to being tricked will wear a person down in time at all!

So anyway, back to the "Nero Sports" here is my very brief review.

Bottle design is very nice, you feel like its going to be good for you without even tasting, largely to clever design.
Secondly, the bottle is not only pretty, but fully recyclable.
Thirdly, is the content, it has only 35 calories, a ton of vitamins to promote hydration.
Tastes really nice, has a unique taste but its not far off mineral water, all in all I enjoyed the product and felt hydrated.
Next up was "Neuro Sonic" it seems like their flagship drink!
I bought it, and as usual the bottle design was nice, however this is one of the drinks that is lightly carbonated, so I had my reservations.
Its contents are interesting, it contains caffeine, Taurine and insotol, all of which are powerful energy drink traits.
It has more than that, and to get the full picture you will have to visit this link here: http://drinkneuro.com/products/sonic/
So in summery a healthy approach to energy drinks.
Ok, I opened it and well, I'll be honest, taste is not its strongest point, it has a weird taste, it also has an after taste a lot like "Purdeys" http://www.mysupermarket.co.uk/tesco-price-comparison/Sports_And_Energy_Drinks/Purdeys_Multivitamin_Fruit_Drink_330ml.html

And that after taste can be forgotten its not that big an issue, its just such a difference in comparison to the "Neuro sport".
I don't rate the taste highly but its still better than relentless and its almost toxic taste.
Its smooth and really can give you a huge energy kick, I completely rearranged my room thanks to the energy, and I do feel a little run down now it has worn off but I don't suffer the horrific sugar crash.
So all in all, if you like energy drinks for the energy, and want to be healthy, then "Neuro Sonic" is defiantly for you.



Dammit, ran out of time, but today basically I'll summarize my whole day and condense it into a small digestible tablet.
I woke up fresh and ready, ate, the day was great and went for a thinking ride to work out some business ventures, then returned, ate, re-arranged my office (it is half done) ate, did some work, then wrote this.

Special Fluid Edition!


Well, the weekend is over, and I created something, I had planned to unveil it over the weekend but I just had no time to.
Anyway, I was thinking about something massively important to health, and that is hydration.
So I thought I'd create a drink that is healthy, tasty and more importantly packed full of juicy delicious things!

Now, I have a natural dislike for fruit, not the flavour but the texture, so I wanted to make a drink incorporating fruit, minus the texture.
I used to east smoothies, and even make my own, but when you see the sugars in most fruits it will make you think twice, now the sugars in fruit are not complex if my memory serves me right, meaning they are usually used up in exercise and not stored in fatty deposits.

So I thought about the concepts of Ice tea, something that I love, and came up with this!


Mango, papaya, coconut and peach.
Cut and de-seed the papya, mango and peach (you can use any fruits you want) and I cracked open the coconut.
While doing this, get a large container, I used a plastic tub, and fill it with hot water and add two green tea bags (antioxidant) and add one normal tea bag for flavour.
As they are infusing add the sliced fruit and coconut milk into the water.



Infusing will look like the below image.
Once all the fruit is in the hot water infusing, cover with cling film to seal airtight, and place in a fridge overnight, a bit like a marinade, you want all the goodness from the fruit get absorbed by the water.

Next day, take cling film off, and grab a jug big enough to store the fluid, a sieve and I also used a light cloth to help not pass any chunks of fruit through.


Then pour the mixture into the jug, so that the fruit is left in the sieve, once complete put all the unused fruit into the bin if you have no use for it.




Just some shots of the filtration process.


I tasted it, it was weird and not very sweet so I added some honey, which has interesting restorative effects and non complex sugars.




So, Excluding my other alchemy activities with glorified fruit salads, I've been doing plenty to keep myself occupied.
Weight is dropping off, thanks to a combination of conditioning my subconsciousness and from the actual dieting / exercises.

Think about the times you ask self defeating questions, when you say "I'm fat," or " I can't do this" change those to "How can I get thin, and enjoy doing it?" and "How Can I do this?" if you say that your something, you become it, so think positive but also think about the solutions over the effect.
its a simple concept, but it makes big differences to a persons psyche!
You know when your feeling unstoppable, or when your feeling like nothing can touch you, well think about what physical changes that makes, so for example a depressed person might slouch, eyes pointed down with shallow breath.
Now when your on a roll you stand tall, breath long powerful breaths and hold a massive grin, its because your associations are placed with your feelings, if you start to walk tall, breathing long powerful breaths as if your unstoppable maybe even with a slight grin, then you will defiantly start to feel that way as your brain is conditioned to feel that way when your body behaves like it!
Another thing, a test even, is to break the chains that lead to various states of mind, so, if your feeling like you might become angry, do something (and this is different for everyone) do something that will break that trail of thought and put you into a positive light, so for me personally, if I feel myself getting annoyed or in a place I don't want to be, I blow a raspberry or pull a stupid face, this will normally cause me to laugh and confuse anyone that is trying to put me in that negative mood!
I hope this concept and idea works for you, you need to really devote yourself to just changing the questions into a more productive meaning, look for solutions, not answers for whats wrong, more reasons for what is right!

Fight fire with a vacuum.



Productive day, finally got some lights for my bike, so now I can have some night time adventures!

After rearranging my schedule the other day, the biggest difference I've noticed was actually in my mood, and not having to think about and stress about getting back on track has helped a lot.
I awoke ready for the day and I think I half seized it, I know I could have done more but without actually planning what I'm doing each hour means sometimes I jut get sidetracked and distracted.

Ok back to life, From what I've been looking into there are many forms and way to reprogram the way we think, so that we can alter aspects of ourselves that we want to change.
Something I found out, or learned should I say, is that this cant work for everyone unless they meet a very specific aspect to the reprogramming.
You will need personal leverage, what does that mean? well it means you will need to KNOW you want to change and not just know but also start associating not the pain of doing it, but the pain of NOT doing it, and the pleasure of doing it.
So for example, you might smoke for example this can however, be applied to anything.

You think oh if I quit, I could put weight on and I'll have cravings and have to avoid social situations where I can smoke or whatever.
Now if you associate stopping with: oh if I stop smoking, my breath won't smell, I'll have a higher lung capacity and will feel fit, I won't have nearly as high a risk from cancer and I can lead a normal life where I'm not a slave to smoking and will even save a lot of money that I would have spent buying them.
Thats associating pleasure to the quitting and pain to not quitting.

Always ask yourself, what is the outcome of not taking action, always remind yourself the positives of taking action and get excited about the process, feel like your heading towards a better lifestyle and through this association you will become stronger.
The next step is to break any chains of thought that might cause problems, for example, think of something you really dislike for some vomiting is a horrific experience, so teach yourself that every time you think about smoking you feel like vomiting or eat or do something that causes you to vomit.
Your brain will start to associate the two together and as a protection mechanism it will, after repartition start to make you think and feel that way.

Learning how to stop your patten, take yourself off guard and start to associate really bad things with the things you don't want to do, and vies versa, related things that give you a blissful experience, so that you feel that when your making the right decisions you feel pleasure.

Return to the battle field



Today has been a day charged with progress, I decided that I'd get finished jobs that I had put off today, it is defiantly something I'd recommend.
Things in the house began taking up space that needed to be thrown out, a huge TV (broken) for example.
I shifted a lot of crap, found stuff I could sell that had no more use, and cleared space, I planted some indoor flowers as they always make me feel nice.

Sometimes I wonder what I'd be doing right now if I had not put my foot down to make these lasting changes, I'd probably be playing some video game, complaining I'm bored, still eating junk food and doing no exercise, while going to bed at 6am and waking at 1pm, complaining life was boring and thinking I'll never get out of this rut.
I'd still be thinking about small scale operations, little bits of income, and probably working some shitty low paid job thinking that I was sorted.

Obviously I've got a long way to go, but I'm seeing the results already, my productivity is up when I'm on schedule and I'm genuinely in a better mood each day, fitness has rocketed, and more projects in the pipeline (as well as the amount I already have).

Biggest hurdles so far are defiantly keeping the routine up, and not making short cuts.
I'm defiantly going to add more quotes, or should I say, start making quotes and how they relate in the modern world, a reoccurring thing.

"In Aryans' Discipline, to build a friendship is to build wealth,
To maintain a friendship is to maintain wealth and
To end a friendship is to end wealth."
-Cakkavatti Sutta, Patika Vagga, Dighanikaya

Friends are great for a multitude of reasons, friends can support you and can offer advice, friends also tend to be more willing to help you, a friend is a network, in which more friends can be gained.
You obviously have the pleasure of helping these friends too, it is far more rewarding than one might think, but being responsible for somebody else's success or being responsible for their well being will far out weigh the disadvantages that not having a friend presents.

"The more friends you have, the more favours you can ask" -Kikojui

In a business sense friends and contacts will be vital in your success, your ability to understand others needs, and tie them into your own agendas ultimately equal business opportunities.
Contacts and networking are the core to some business industries, and if people like you, or if you are more approachable than another person you will soon have a wealth of contacts, and contacts equal a lot of good things, intellectuality speaking its better to surround yourself with people far smarter than yourself, this way you will constantly be learning different strategies and ways to run aspects of your business.

Here is something related to interactions with others that will become vital in every aspect of your life.

"Our inability to stand someone results from our lack of cultivation" -Venerable Cheng Yen

Usually the reason we dislike people is not because of how they act, we might make our judgements by what we see, but what we are unable to do in most cases, is to discard that judgemental attitude and analyse a situation.

For example, you might have seen this guy before (in various forms) your shopping and this guy/girl complains because the item he wanted to purchase is not in stock, or differently priced, or not in the colour he/she wanted) soi what ensues is an argument, the shopper is ranting at the store assistant, and it from our view looks like someone who is not a pleasant person.
This is largely because we take the information given to us visually, and the mood he/she is displaying and instantly take a negative shine to the situation, walk away or just feel embarrassed or nervous.
But what is really happening here is a simple case of ninety nine percent of all wars, conflicts and battles.
There is a lack of understanding.
This guy/girl is annoyed, they have had a bad day from the start, they want to buy this specific thing for a present for a loved one, the website said it was in stock and in the right colour, so that person drove for a hour to the store that had it and walked in, this persons mood is low and they look around in desperation trying to find the item before the store closes, it is not there.
So frustrated the person walks to the checkout, the clerk says that the item should be in stock.
The shopper's frustration turns to anger, and the shopper raises his/her voice trying to say that the item is not there.
The clerk says that this must be a problem on the website, and that their is nothing they can do about it.
Frustrated, angry and defeated the shopper lets out his/her frustration onto the shopper, whom of course has done little to deserve so.
We see it at this point and make our decision.
Had the clerk sensed the frustration of the shopper the clerk could have made an effort to help, sensing that the message the shopper was really trying to convey was not a message of criticism, but a message of help.
The shopper has one goal, and if it feels like they clerk is uncaring it is likely that the situation would arise where aggression might show.
For example, the clerk could ask for the manager to discuss the problem, managers are trained to deal with frustrated customers and would have came across caring to the shoppers cause.
Whenever communication goes bad, and understanding is lost, people will not see the problem from each perspective, this causes neither side to know what the other wants and only helps them voice what they don't want.

Hope this is making sense, anyway, analyse people work out their moods and what might be influencing the way they feel, by doing so you will know how to react to different people in different situations.

Beauty in madness.



Madness has arrive in this second week, I've had some serious schedule disruptions, its effected my diet, my moral and even my sleep.

What caused this? well I think it was some serious schedule issues, sometimes things happen that cause disruption, my advice is to fix it instantly and don't wait.
I used the old "I'll get it all sorted tomorrow" and it never happened and things just got more and more disturbed, and the chain of effect got bigger and bigger.
Today I spent all my time re arranging and getting things back on track for tomorrow, which has been successful.

I sometimes think about all the times I had put things off in the past, because I couldn't see the effects that came from putting the said thing off.
Really I suppose it is very wise to think about what possible outcomes can arise form putting off something.

Today I could have panicked and just thought it was all falling apart, but after some thinking I managed to get it all straightened out, and that is an important lesson!
Life will not always go to plan, it's not how well we follow our plans, but how well we save them when we falter.
I guess following a plan is like making food from a recipe, sometimes you follow the steps perfectly but maybe your missing an ingredient.
instead of abandoning the recipe its wiser to look at how to solve the problem, either by adding a substitute or buying the ingredient.
Working a way around a problem is far better on a evolutionary scale than avoiding the problem all together!

So today was interesting, not productive, but productive at the same time, big plans are taking shape and as a direction, life is moving steadily in the direction I wanted it to.

This quote ties in nicely:
“The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.”
- Marianne Williamson

Today has turned up something else interesting, it is apparent that since using the weights frequently during the day, my appetite has risen to accommodate the extra workload.
Ok enough about me, I was watching a TV show this morning called "Jeremy kyle" which has people go on and discuss problems and take lie detector tests etc, a lot like Jerry springer in the late nighties.
It had a weathered woman who looked like she was in her early sixties, she was in fact in her early forties and had a serious addiction to heroin.
I try to watch things with an open mind, it would be easy for me to sit there and say she was a bad person or that she was foolish, but deep down she would have already known this, addiction takes many forms and if it was easy to beat then it would not have become an addiction to start with.
She was making every excuse under the sun, and ultimately saying she would quit when she was ready, implying that if she was "ready" that she could just quit.
But as most of us know that is not how it works, she will never be ready in that sense.
The best thing that could happen would be her forced to quit, in other words taken off it, locked in a room and given methadone.
People would say your abusing her human rights to lock her away. Human what? you think that human rights are real?
They are a fictional concept, a nice concept but still fictional, we have to realise that it is an illusion.
Look up "Japanese Americans" in nineteen forty two, that should give you an overview of the so called rights.

"Rights aren't rights if they can be taken away, they become privileges, there is a bill of privileges" -George carlin

Its simple, the woman would eventually be off the drug, and the drugs grip would be lost on her, she could start fresh, and give herself the best possible start, or she could never be ready to quit, and die a lot younger with financial difficulty with her family remembering her dying thanks to the drug.

I think laziness, and habits become an addiction, and I think its up to use to say to ourselves that enough is enough, I'll never be in that position to make this easier, so I need to change today.
That strength of mind to take action and to try re-claiming your life, is by far a better option than just not trying.

Flat on my back.



Today has been a bad one, you know the kind of days that put you flat on your back...

I have only really got my own drive to get me on track, so tomorrow is going to be busy.
Today I let a lot of little things get me down and it is usually that way with me, I have no problem taking on one massive problem, but when things build up in my subconsciousness they eventually erupt and lava filled frustration or sadness boils over.
I've been less than productive today, I spent the morning trying to work out what I was doing then by the time the afternoon came I was off track, and frustrated.

So, to those reading, you will have days like these, you just have to constantly think of the outcome.
Your making big, lasting changes in your life not only to better yourself but it will better your reactions with those around you.

In todays world its easy to get sidetracked, but it is however, extremely important to try and keep focused and motivated, find productive ways to procrastinate if you really feel you have no other choice.
I guess we all have weakness's its learning what causes them and how to combat them that makes us stronger!

I really have no strength to write in depth today, I will however write some advice, because you took the time to read this, expecting advice in making your big changes in your life.
Some good advice:

YOU ARE YOUR LAST DEFENCE!:
I see many blogs, many people writing about their big changes, and they rely too heavily on others support to achieve their goals.
You are your last defence, ultimately, you can blame as many people you want, but when it is all said and done, the only person responsible for how you act and think is yourself.
Its fine to want encouragement, but make sure that you can cope without it, not everyone will be willing to support you through your changes.

WHEN YOUR BACK IS AGEIST THE WALL, THINK!:
When faced with a situation that your unaware of, make sure that before doing anything to think about the situation logically, most of the time the solution is very simple when observed with a different approach.

PRIDE COMES BEFORE A FALL:
A lot of people are too proud to take advice, or too proud to try something different, remember its important to not only try new things but to understand new ways of thinking.

"If we are facing in the right direction, all we have to do is keep on walking"
-Buddhist Proverb.
When your doing your changes, reaching your goals and noticing changes, you know your headed the right way, just keep on at it and the life you always dream about will become a reality!

last one:
"We are more often treacherous through weakness than through calculation"-Francois De La Rochefoucauld
Think about every decision you regret, made out of weakness, I bet it was a few, and think about if you just had the strength to think it through logically, financially and emotionally.
Don't you think that the reason we have weaknesses is because we have a lack of understanding, and are too led by perception and emotion?
