Depression is awful 0 in whatever form you may experience it. You would think that something that feels so bad would propel you to do anything to get rid of it. You know- like a noxious substance that we accidentally eat and then get violent spasms to vomit.You0d think that if you are feeling depressed you would be hightailing it to engage in some of the known effective strategies for getting rid of depression. You might visit your doctor for an anti-depressant or your local therapist for cognitive behavioral therapy. You0d start exercising. You0d be getting out in the sunlight more. You0d change your diet. You0d learn to meditate and develop a mindful approach to life. You0d take some nutritional supplements like 5HTP or St. John0s Wort.But when you are depressed most of the time you find yourself avoiding any and all of those things.The insidious thing about depression (and for that matter most mood imbalances) is this 0 depression has inherent in itself a hidden pull to stay depressed. When you are depressed, there is a part of the depression that feels good because it is familiar- as illogical as that may sound. In some subtle way, there is a tendency to keep yourself feeling depressed.Rationally you0d want to stop being depressed because it feels so bad. But anything that will help you move out of depression also comes with this heavy internal response 0It0s just too hard0 or some similar variation such as:I can0t do that.I tried that and it didn0t work.I don0t see how that would work.I can0t remember to do that.I0m too busy, tired, overwhelmed, etc to do that.That doesn0t seem like something that would work 0 something that would be fun or something I want to do, etc.However you spin it, depression (and other mood imbalances, too) becomes a closed system that locks you within the system. Insidious, crazy, and perverse.Here is a little bit of the physiology about that:The thing about mood imbalances is that the biochemistry in your brain always seeks its current baseline - which means that it is designed to stay the way it is. Your brain chemistry always seeks its neurotransmitter baseline and this baseline is kept in place by certain enzymatic processes in the body. It can take 6 months or more of consistent, regular input to change those biochemical enzymatic processes and thus your neurotransmitter baseline.Your brain chemistry drives you to think and do things that will keep your brain chemistry just the way it is. Your current brain chemistry is driving you to avoid thinking or doing things that would shift your biochemistry and provide a physiological opportunity to shift your moods.In order to find your way out of depression and other mood imbalances you have to reach deeply inside yourself and pull out a life spark of yourself 0 a piece of your inner spirit or your life essence -and take the first step away from imbalance. And every day you have to reach inside of yourself again and find that life spark again and take the next step toward balance again 0 and again, and again.As each step fans that life spark, it also gradually and over time changes your physiology and shifts your neurotransmitter baseline.Changing your physiology is important because it loosens the grip of that perverse biochemical tendency to keep things the way they are. Changing your physiology opens up a whole new world of thoughts, emotions, actions, and perceptions that weren0t readily available at the old biochemical baseline.Hand in hand life spark and physiology work together and nurture each other toward a new level of balance.”Where the spirit does not work with the hand there is no art.” — Leonardo Da Vinci—Mary Ann Copson is the founder of the Evenstar Mood & Energy Wellness Center for Women.

Chronic bad breath is a condition that affects many thousands of people the world over. If you too are suffering from this, you may well have tried out some conventional so-called bad breath remedies as a means of overcoming your halitosis problem.However, despite what they might say in their sales hype, you may have already discovered for yourself that many of these products unfortunately fail to live up to their claims.And this might well explain why there appears to have been a recent surge in popularity of more unusual bad breath treatments and solutions, such as home preparations and herbal concoctions. More and more people are now turning their back on traditional oral hygiene products in favor of more unusual methods.And a quick look at some of the comments and posts on various online bad breath support forums would seem to suggest that some people are indeed finding some success using less conventional methods of treatment.It’s easy to understand the appeal of finding a really good natural cure for bad breath. For a start, it means you’re not subecting your body to any harsh chemicals or medications which may prove to be habit-forming at a later date.And they’re also often much cheaper than many expensive over-the-counter-products, the costs of which can soon mount up when you have to keep using them on a regular basis just to keep your smelly breath at bay.One particular way in which some people are attempting to cure bad breath naturally is through the use of foods.In general, there are 3 main categories of foods which some people believe can help to alleviate bad breath. These are:1. Fiber-rich crunchy fruit and vegetables - eating crunchy fruit and veggies such as apples, carrots and celery can help to stimulate the production of saliva in your mouth. This is especially important from a bad breath point of view as a dry mouth is one of the factors that can cause your mouth to smell.You may not be aware, but the number one cause of bad breath is bacteria that you have in your mouth. When aggravated, these bacteria can multiply in excessive numbers and it’s this that frequently leads to bad breath.And one of the things that these bacteria absolutely love is a dry environment. Therefore, keeping your mouth moist is one of the ways you can keep these bacteria in check.And this is why it’s so important to keep yourself properly hydrated by drinking a sufficient amount of still, unflavored water every day. Many health experts recommend that you should consume about 8 glasses a day for optimum health benefits.2. Foods high in vitamin C - berries and citrus fruits such as oranges and grapefruits which contain high levels of vitamin C may help to prevent the development of gingivitis and gum disease, another two things which can contribute to halitosis.And as an extra bonus, as well as helping to minimize any rotten stenchs coming from your mouth, vitamin C is also a very powerful antioxidant and can help to protect the cells of your body from the damaging effects of harmful free radicals.3. Yoghurt containing live cultures - a recent dental study found that eating a serving of yoghurt with active cultures every day can help to reduce the amount of odor-causing sulphur dioxide in a person’s mouth.Lower incidences of gum diease and plaque build up were also reported among the study’s participants.Well, the jury might still out on whether these foods can with absolute certainty help to cure bad breath. However, if conventional treatments have not provided you with much success in the past, then you may well want to give them a shot.After all, you’ve really got nothing to lose - except your bad breath, that is!—To discover why cheap, simple home remedies may just hold the key to curing bad breath for good, check out this special report at www.cure-your-bad-breath.com/Bad-Breath-Cure/

Who’s ever heard of a dentist charging up to 50k for treatment? … and, has a line of people who he has to turn away?It begs the question — Are all dentists, the same? Well, the technical skills may not be to dissimilar.I know that there’ll probably be dentists reading this saying ” I went to the blah blah school of dentistry, so I’m really more ‘professional’ and have more ‘expertise’”. (Just plug in the equivalent of what it is you do, sell, etc)Now, let’s flip over to our ’super dentist’. What makes him charge the fees that he does? What gives him the gall to set the prices that he does?Well, the first, and most important ingredient in the formula is that… HE VALUES ENORMOUSLY, THE SERVICE THAT HE DOES FOR HIS CLIENTS.As soon as a person just ‘gets’ that mental shift, huge things happen. It may sound a little metaphysical to some, a little bit of magic wand ‘woo woo’, but, small mental shifts can get the biggest doors to swing open, at an accelerated pace.The next BIG MENTAL SHIFT in setting the prices that he does is the principle … ” BECAUSE THAT’S THE PRICES WHAT I WANT”.A vital note here is that the dentist didn’t look at what other dentists were charging. He didn’t say let me go down the middle and price my services that way.Set your prices to match EXACTLY what you want your lifestyle to look like.And that’s what our Dentist did.He then went to work to match his image to fit into his clients and prospects perception of what he does.His practice looks like no other. His non-dental ’service’ builds enormous value in the mind of the prospect. His referral system has people lining up to be treated by him.And… his marketing is super. Most prospects are already pre-sold before they come for treatment. Now isn’t that refreshing? Isn’t that liberating.Everything he does is not based on guesswork, conjecture, or Disneyland thinking. It’s based on a predictable, reliable and systematic formula.He has created the practice HE WANTS and treats his clients the way they want to be treated.So, the question becomes…What prices are you deliberately NOT SETTING that’ll get you a bunch of highly qualified prospects for what it is you do?You see, setting a higher price for your product or service, gets you a higher grade of client. People want ’snob value’. They want what the ‘JONES’S’ can’t get.And, the most important element in this is… CLIENT COMPLIANCE!What that means is there is more people who value what is you do, and, they are in a better position to ‘DO AS YOU SAY’.Of course, setting higher prices isn’t suitable for every product or service, but, EVERY product or service has the ability to leverage it into other HIGH price products or services.For example: if you sell an ebook for £27.00 all to do with how to make costume jewellery. Now, a natural extension to this is to create a 12 monthly-paid newsletter.What’ll that give you? Yes, that’s right - CONTINUITY INCOME… forever, if you play your cards right. Now doesn’t that taste delicious?What about a one-off seminar teaching people how to market their newfound skill?And then, what if you audio tape and film that seminar and turn them into high priced saleable products?Are you beginning to see the picture here? Aren’t the possibilities… endless?Would you rather settle for one ebook sale, or have a warehouse of products and services directly out of that ebook, and make more money than you ever imagined possible, from the same client?This article is red-hot precious. I’d suggest you print it out and keep it someplace nearby…. Because, if you’re ever at a point where you’re beating yourself up about not having a business of your own, or, how to maximise what you’ve already got, this’ll kick start your thinking muscles and alert your profit antennae.—Nick James is a UK based direct marketer and product developer.
