The Seven-Day Target Plan To Thrive High
Have you
ever figured out the priorities in your life? How about a seven-day target plan
to prioritize your vital elements of life? This is exactly what this article
talks about. Read on to find out.
Here
goes:
Day 1:
You are probably dissatisfied with your current job. Instead of going through
hunting jobs and going through several rounds of interviews, it is better to
get hold of influential people you know. Once you know what kind of position of
a job interests you, make five phone calls to the different influential people
you know who you think can give you the job you will love.
Day 2: So
you have taken care of job opportunities. Now it is time to surprise your
spouse. Send her five rose buds to show her how much you love her. Immediately,
the relationship will be strengthened.
Day 3:
This day should be spent at a park or beach with family. Play with your
children. Encourage them to soak in mud and sand. Play with your spouse. It is
supposed to be a fun day.
Day 4:
Call two elderly relatives to know their updates and also the updates of other
relatives. This way those two people become happy and you are happy to know all
the new information.
Day 5:
Rethink what you love to do in your leisure times. Reaffirm those hobbies and
do them while you immerse yourself in them. Gradually you can monetize your
hobbies, earn a lucrative income and quit your day job.
Day 6:
Call up two or three friends and meet up at a Star Bucks coffee shop and treat
them coffee and have a great conversation flowing, talking about the stuff that
interests you and your buddies.
Day 7: At
work during lunch time, share heart-rending jokes with your colleagues and
laugh together. Instantly you will be bonded together. You can go back to work
with a renewed spirit and a recharged mind.
Summing
up, this is a subtle seven-day plan to target the priorities in your life and
give time to them. It can be in any order as you wish but all the seven days
need to be included. You also need time for yourself to nurture your needs and
take care of yourself. Squeeze it into the seven-day target plan. With that
included also, what else can happen other than the fact that you naturally
thrive high?
How to Create Your Own Personal Development Plan
Every person has a variety of
personal needs that have to be satisfied in order for him to find a sense of
joy. Unfortunately, needs such as personal fulfilment, a sense of belonging,
romantic connections and even physical needs such as sufficient sleep often
take a backseat to the professional obligations a person has to fulfil. More
and more often, unhealthy lifestyles that leave a lot of people exhausted and
unhappy are becoming more common. The worst part is that people have learned to
accept this miserable status as the norm.
It's time to break free from this
uninspired, monotonous routine. Every person deserves to enjoy a balanced
lifestyle. Thankfully, you don't have to take drastic measures to find
equilibrium in your life. All it takes is a personal development plan that can
give you an idea of what lifestyle adjustments you need to make in order to
compensate for the things you lack. Take a few minutes to answer these
following questions to help you discover what area of your life needs more
focus.
1. Are you healthy?
One of the main reasons why you
should make a personal development plan is to make sure that you're getting
enough exercise. A sedentary lifestyle can lead to a variety of illnesses. A
balanced lifestyle involves indoor or outdoor physical activities that provide
sufficient exercise. If your job requires you to sit at a desk for long hours,
make sure you balance it out by participating in an active sport or by trying
an outdoor hobby.
2. Do you have money saved in the
bank?
A balanced lifestyle should be
making progress. If you've been working for several years, you should have
money saved in the bank. If you don't, then you're spending too much. Make sure
that your personal development plan includes a financial plan that can help
you, at least, cut on your spending.
3. Do you have peace of mind?
Constant feelings of anxiety and
stress are signs of an unbalanced lifestyle. It's normal to encounter
challenges at work. What isn't normal, however, is to be so engrossed in your
work that it affects every area of your existence. A balanced lifestyle leaves
you enough time off to allow you to relieve the work stress you experience.
With enough time away from work, you'll return with more energy and a variety
of different perspectives that you didn't see before. When you draft your
personal development plan, examine your attitude towards the challenges you
encounter. Are you inspired to rise above it, or are you incapacitated by
anxiety and stress?
4. Do you get enough sleep?
One of the most telling signs of
a lopsided schedule is a lack of sleep. Many people take sleep for granted and
pay dearly for it. A lack of sleep can lead to unhealthy weight gain, reduced
productivity at work, and a general weariness towards life. The fastest way to
improve your quality of life is to get more sleep. A balanced lifestyle should
allow people at least 8 hours of sleep. Having enough rest keeps you refreshed
and energized throughout the day. Make sure that you're functioning at your
optimum level by including sufficient rest as one of your goals in your
personal development plan.
5. How often do you see your
family?
A balanced lifestyle allows an
individual to maintain a healthy relationship with his family. If you can't
find the time to have dinner with your mother on her birthday, there might be
some priority adjustments you need to make. Do you think you'd be happier if
you saw your family more often? If your answer is "yes," then don't
forget to write that down as one of your goals in your personal development
plan.
You only have one life to live.
That fact, by itself, is reason enough for you to make the most out of your
daily existence. Only through a balanced lifestyle can you truly see and
appreciate the wonders of life. A personal development plan allows you to
manage your priorities and lets you re-evaluate where your life is headed. Are
you headed in the right direction? Only you know the answer to that question.

of a balanced lifestyle. He can give you tips on how to achieve it through
practical methods, such as having a personal development plan.

7 Indicators to Determine If You Are Emotionally Bound
Your answers to these seven
questions can determine if you are emotionally bound:
1. Are you perpetually unhappy
and you don't know why?
2. Do you say 'yes' when you want
to say 'no'?
3. Do you constantly experience
failed relationships in your personal, work, or church life?
4. Do you experience anger,
bitterness, or frustration often?
5. Are you tired of setting goals
and never seem to accomplish them?
6. Are you tired of making money,
but always living in poverty?
7. Do you seem to attract people
into your life who are not spiritually, emotionally, or financially healthy and
you think this is the best you can do?
If you answered 'yes' to any of
these questions, you are experiencing emotional bondage. Now, please go back
and re-visit your answers, and write down why you answered yes to that
particular question. Don't be discouraged. You can break this bondage off of
your life.
First, let's look at the definition
of emotional bondage: Emotional bondage occurs when:
1. you constantly make choices
that bring hurt and pain into your life
2. you have thoughts that are
almost always negative or frightening
3. you are not enjoying the life
you are living.
Do thoughts come to you and you
wonder why that thought just popped into your mind? Do your emotions sometimes
overtake you? Do you get tired of crying at every drop of the hat? Do you
wonder why you behave the way you do around certain people or in certain
situations? When one is emotionally bound, there is a major attack on something
termed 'your soul.'
WHAT IS YOUR SOUL?
Your soul is your mind, will, and
emotions. Your mind houses your thoughts. Your will houses your behaviour. Your
emotions dictate your feelings. While your soul is invisible to the outside
world. We allow emotional bondage to dictate to us that it is more important to
take care of our external self, than our internal self.
THE INNER SELF VS THE OUTER SELF
When you are emotionally bound,
you spend more time dressing up your outer self than you do healing your inner
self, healing your emotional wounds. For instance, let's take the couple who
are always dressed to the nine's. The husband wears Stacey Adams shoes, Pierre
Cardin suits and splashes on Kenneth Cole cologne. His wife? She wears her red
bottom Louboutin sling-backs, Donna Karan off-the-shoulder dresses, a splash of
Fendi, and carries a Gucci purse. They are the image of success and happiness.
What about the family who attends church regularly? Whenever the doors of the
church are opened, they are in attendance. Or, what about the senior couple,
both in their middle 70's, always smiling and holding hands.
You could never tell by looking
at any one of these individuals if they are or are not entangled by emotional
bondage. Maybe you do not wear Stacey Adams, or carry a Gucci purse, but,
still, the intent is to cover up the hurt, to dress it up so that no one
notices that you are dying on the inside. There are professional people who are
willing to help you deal with your internal problem of being emotionally bound.
Therapists, doctors, and pastors are professional people trained to assist
those in emotional trouble in getting set free so that they can live a life of
emotional freedom. I was once emotionally bound and now I am free.

How to Recognize Opportunities Right There In Front of You
Have you gotten over situations only to realize that you
have missed some golden opportunity? How do you make sure you recognize these
opportunities? Read on to find out.
Here are a few scenarios:
1) Your colleague is throwing a
party to celebrate his fiftieth birthday. You are depressed and unwilling to
go. Other colleagues encourage and persuade you to attend the party. And you
give in. You sit at a table and watch others enjoy. And then all of a sudden
you see someone for the first time. You cannot take your eyes off her. She is
bewitching and electric. In fact, if you hadn't come to this party, you might
have missed getting hold of your soul mate.
2) You have been staring at a
fiction book absentmindedly. Once you come back to your senses, you read a
sentence that opens the floodlights to a great breakthrough. For instance, the
sentence could be, "When the child managed to open the door of the house,
she looked up to see a million stars in the sky." Now why would this
sentence lead you to a breakthrough? Because it probably reminds you that if
you shoot for the moon, you may not land there but still be among the stars in
the sky. Can you relate? You may be somewhere near about this in your current
life.
3) You may have been meaning to
buy personal development books but didn't get the time but when you go to your
office and check your mailbox, you find a 160-page free self-help eBook sitting
there waiting to be discovered.
4) You have been thinking of
connecting to a friend from whom you want to take advice regarding job
opportunities. In fact, as if by telepathic wires, he himself gives you a
surprise call and you are all open to ask your questions.
5) You are sitting slump in your
living room thinking of hitting opportunities that might add to your monthly
income. Your seven year-old comes and distracts you, begging you to buy her a
new good story book. Immediately you get your "AHA' moment. Yes, you could
start writing children's story books and sell them on Amazon. This definitely
would add to your monthly income provided you do some research about what
children's books are already there and how you could brainstorm for innovative
ideas.
6) You have an ailing parent.
Medical costs are hard to bear where you stay. You talk this problem with your
uncle abroad. You made a good choice. He gives you ideas about applying
overseas where he stays because medical costs are free for old men and women
there. Immediately you jump aboard.
Summing up, those are some
scenarios where you can directly knock on opportunities, seize them and
leverage to your advantage. Sound good?
