Until the negative conditioning is reversed, the ability to persist until a goal is achieved can become problematic. When we are about to pursue a goal or objective, negative conditioning generally manifests as self- doubt or self-limiting beliefs. The belief that we are incapable or that we will fail. The belief that others will laugh at us or even consider our idea ludicrous.

The fact is that despite their conditioning, even successful people experience some degree of these emotions before they undertake an enormous goal. The advantage they have however is that their confident conditioning allows them to push past the anxiety and worry and focus only on the favourable outcome that they expect.

Negative conditioning has a less apparent but lethal side effect. Despite having achieved success, people who have not fundamentally addressed their negative conditioning and their feelings of inadequacy or low self-worth can sabotage their success; often times without even being aware of their damaging actions.

A deep rooted belief that they are undeserving of success will often demonstrate itself in the fear of losing it all and as this becomes a strongly held fear in their subconscious, they begin to display actions that is in line with their expectations.

They begin to undermine themselves though destructive behaviour such as extravagant lifestyles, alcohol and drug abuse, neglecting their businesses, until their fear eventually becomes a reality and they lose everything. Their fear now a reality now further reinforces what they always subconsciously fear and believed, even though such fear was unfounded and such belief untrue.

The good news is that reverse negative beliefs and conditioning is not as difficult or impossible as we may think. Due to the neuroplasticity of the brain, such beliefs can be unlearned in the same way that they were learned. It was previously thought that thinking and physical habits were permanently hardwired and once formed where virtually impossible to break.

However, neuroplasticity of the brain proposes that the human brain can be rewired to adopt a new belief or habit to replace the old thinking pattern and bad habits. By consistently holding a new belief or performing a new action, new neural pathways are physically created in the brain and the more such thought is held, or action performed, the more hardwired the pathway becomes until it eventually becomes a new habit. Therefore the mechanism of neuroplasticity can be directly applied to our beliefs and we can use it to replace old, limiting beliefs about ourselves and our abilities with more positive and empowering beliefs.

We can positively condition ourselves in the following ways:
Focus on your accomplishments: Whenever feelings of self doubt arise, think of past circumstances when you were successful and how you exceeded your own expectations. Remember the emotions you felt as a result of your achievements. Focus on those emotions and let them be your anchor. If you had been successful in the past, you can replicate it in the future. Past successes or failures will only repeat themselves in our future endeavours if we believe they will and if we allow them to.

Learn from your failures: successfully unlearning negative conditioning requires changing how we think of failures. Thinking of past failures as barometers of our future potential will keep us stuck in a vicious cycle of inaction and fear. However, by repositioning our views of failures as learning experiences, not only do we build strength of character but we become better prepared us for our next attempt. Instead of self doubt, we begin to develop self respect and a healthier self image. Learn from the experience and determine what needs to be done differently next time. Then apply what you have learnt the next time around.
Before changing your negative conditioning about a situation in your life, ask yourself the following and answer honestly
-What excuses are you using currently to justify the current state of your life, the frustrating situation at work, not following through your goals, your financial situation?
-Is your goal to change your situation really a strong desire or just a wish?
-Have you taken responsibility for your situation?
-Will keeping on making excuses reverse or change the situation?
-It possible that others have had a similar experience and thrived despite the challenges?
-Have you really, really thought of every feasible solution? What can you do differently?
-What will your life be like in 5 years if you dont follow through on your goals?
-Can you afford to pay the price of your laxity in 5 years?
Ask yourself the hard questions and as the true nature of your underlying beliefs begins to emerge, you will begin to appreciate the amazing potential you have been supressing for so long.

If you’re reading this, it’s likely that you want to know more about curses. Perhaps you suspect that a curse or hex may have been placed upon you. If so, keep reading. Or perhaps you just want to stay protected from curses. This is the article for you then, too. Whatever your interest, these are the top ten signs that you are almost certainly cursed:

10. Nightmares, night terrors, sleep paralysis, or strange nighttime sensations. One of the most evident symptoms of being cursed or hexed is trouble sleeping. This can range from sleep paralysis and nightmares to simply having an unusually restless sleep. While everyone has the occasional nightmare, consistent experiences of nightmares is a strong indication a curse has been placed on an individual.

9. Loss of energy. Curses and hexes can turn individuals described as vibrant and positive to dull and boring. Fatigue and sudden loss of energy is a strong symptom of most curses. This is especially true for curses and hexes placed to drain individuals of their energy. Psychic vampires are notable for working in this fashion.

8. Misfortune of loved ones. If loved ones or people close to you suddenly start experiencing an unusual amount of misfortune, this is a clear symptom a curse has been placed. While we expect curses to affect the person they are placed upon, it doesn’t always work like that. This is because some curses are directed at damaging a person’s entire life, which includes harming those around the victim. These types of curses are becoming increasingly common, and unfortunately can be devastating.

7. Financial or property loss. Sudden and unexpected losses of property or financial loss are good indicators of a curse. Many curses are intended to affect a specific aspect of a person’s life, such as finances, health, or relationships. Anything from being laid off at work to becoming the victim of (supposedly) random vandalism can be the outcomes of a financial curse. If you’ve experienced sudden financial losses, it’s worth asking if you’ve been cursed.

6. Relationship trouble. Curses directed at harming relationships may be the most abundant curses in existence. Curses of this nature can turn happy and healthy marriages into trainwreck failure marriages, so beware. It’s very common for things to be going perfectly and then suddenly, without warning, to take a turn for the worst.

5. Deterioration of health. While sickness has many natural causes and should always be appraised by qualified medical professionals, it is important to note that magical curses and hexes do, in fact, cause sickness. Healthy individuals can be made sick instantly with some curses, while other curses manifest themselves as gradual declines in health.

4. Legal trouble. Lawsuits and criminal charges may often stem from curses. Curses can manifest themselves in such a fashion that innocent people are accused of crimes or torts, or may actually incline people to engage in criminal behavior that may result in their misfortunes. Whatever the case, if an individual suddenly experiences legal trouble it can be a symptom of being cursed.

3. Direct perceptions of being cursed. Some curses are more obvious, causing individuals to be directly tormented by hallucinations or delusions. Additionally, as some employ spiritual beings the victim may find themselves directly harassed by such entities. As the saying goes, if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it’s probably a duck. If a person has strong experiences of being cursed, there is a good chance they are.

2. Sudden and serious illness. As opposed to a gradual reduction in health, sudden and serious illnesses are strong symptoms of harmful magics at work. These usually manifest themselves as specific, serious illnesses that afflict the victim acutely. As the nature of these curses are especially dangerous, they should be dealt with as soon as possible.

1. Death. Yes, people can actually die from curses. Death by harmful magic can manifest itself in a myriad of ways, from suicide to sickness to car accident. Unfortunately, after this symptom is present it is already too late to help the victim. The key is to block and remove curses before this occurs, not wait until after. Additionally, powerful curses may even harm those around the intended victim, so it is important to deal with them in any situation.

All of the symptoms listed above are indications a curse has been placed on someone. Individually they are not proof per se, but collectively they should be taken as strong evidence. What this means is that if someone experiences one or more of the symptoms above, they should seriously consider that a curse may be the cause of it. The more symptoms there are, the stronger the likelihood a curse has been placed.

However, a curse is no reason to lose hope. At the fist sign of evidence a curse has been placed immediate action should be taken to remove the curse. Additionally, there are ways to prevent a curse. Caution should be taken, however, when attempting to fight a curse, as inexperienced casters may actually compound it and make it worse. You should seek out a professional witch to remove or protect you from curses.

We are all aware of the benefits of proper exercise on the health of our body. We know it tones our muscles, burns fat, helps circulation, and reduces our disease risk. But what about the benefits exercise has on our mental health?

While the majority of fitness research efforts focus on the physical and health benefits of exercise, there is a growing body of work demonstrating that exercise promotes mental and emotional health as well.

Firstly exercise makes you feel good. When you exercise (with some effort of course) there are a cocktail of hormones released that stay in your system for some time after you finish lifting your mood and banishing any trace of any negative feelings.

Some of the exercise benefits that can make life so much better are:

By reducing stress hormones (cortisol), which are linked to depression
By restoring sleeping and eating patterns, raising energy levels
By releasing endorphins, the ‘feel good’ hormones
Getting in better physical shape improves self-esteem
Manage feelings of anxiety, sadness, tension and anger
Improves blood flow to brain, cut Alzheimer’s risk by 40 percent
Great alternative treatment for depression

Our mental health is important and its health does not lie with taking antidepressants. Prescriptions for antidepressants have increased by 33 per cent in the last six years with a third of the adult population taking a mood altering drug. Yet research shows that physical activity has the same effect as chemically addictive antidepressants and unlike these drugs has no negative side effects.

It is so much better for your health to avoid using drugs if possible as they can interfere with brain biochemistry. Our knowledge of how drugs affect the brain is in its infancy. Proper exercise will give you an instant feel good boost, unlike drugs that can take weeks to kick in.

It gives cause for concern when doctors are so freely writing out prescriptions for these unnecessary drugs. The same prescription pad could be used for a much healthier alternative – exercise. But then there would not be any money to be made with a recommendation like that.

Attitudes need to change so that people take some responsibility for their own health and wellbeing and stop being doctor and drug dependent. There are much healthier options available that address the cause of the problem not just mask it, and that is exercise.

Take some time out for a proper exercise program and discover how you can feel joy and pleasure just being in your own body. Don’t say no to exercise say no to something else.
Exercise is not a task or punishment and vigorous movement is something the human body needs to maintain wellness and can be viewed as a preventative that can help prevent physical, mental and emotional conditions.

You don’t have to spend hours to gain these benefits; just a couple of sessions each week of strength training exercise will make you feel fantastic. Just make sure you get some help from a fitness professional so you can be reaping the most benefits from your program and enjoy life to the fullest.
