You know You Only Live Once

The 5 Languages Of Love

Chee Shi TeoSeptember 17, 2021October 15, 2021Leave a comment

We all want to be loved.
And the opportunity to give love in return.
But what happens when the love you give is misunderstood or the love you receive doesn’t feel like love to you?
We give love to others in the way we wish to receive it but in many cases our desire to make someone else feel loved, backfires.
No matter how hard you work to show your partner how much you care about them, they just don’t feel loved

According to author Gary Chapman, there are 5 core love languages.
Each of us understand one of these languages but may completely misunderstand the other 4.
Learning the different languages and listening for the one that your partner understands can have a huge impact on your relationship.
When you know what someone needs in order to feel loved, you can use words and actions to demonstrate your love in a way that they understand.
Speaking the language of love is a key component in avoiding misunderstandings, resentment and conflict.
When we feel loved, we want to do more for the other person. And so the cycle of love grows and blossoms.
Our most basic emotional need is not to fall in love but to be genuinely loved by another, to know a love that grows out of reason and choice, not instinct.

Which love language do you speak?

And which one does your partner speak?

Words Of Affirmation
One way to show love is to speak in a way that affirms the other person. You can do this by complimenting your partner.
“Your hair looks beautiful today”
“ I love how you look in that suit”
“I love how you make me laugh”
Verbal appreciation is one of the most powerful languages of love there is.
When you pay someone a compliment it lets them know you see them.
That you notice them and appreciate them.

Quality Time
Just because you live in the same house, doesn’t mean you spend quality time together.
You may sit in front of the television together in the evening but there is a big difference between quantity and quality.

Quality time involves giving your undivided attention to your partner.
Time without distractions and outside of your usual routine. Think back to when you were first dating. You wanted to know everything you could about them; you couldn’t get enough of each other.
But the busyness of life has a way of getting in the way of love.
Or more correctly, the demonstration of love that we each need in order to feel appreciated.
If your partner’s primary love language is quality time, make the effort to go on a date, go for a walk by the beach or through your neighbourhood.
Remove yourselves from the distraction of your routine and take the time to be completely present with each other. There is no surer way to reconnect and reignite your passion.

Receiving Gifts
Love is not about money but for some people, the act of giving is a key component in feeling loved.
Valentines Day may have become overly commercial but the intention behind it is pure.
It’s a chance for you to show your partner how much you love them through the giving and receiving of gifts.

But why wait until Valentines Day?

When you give an unexpected gift, it lets your partner know that you have been thinking about them.
That you know them well enough to find the perfect thing they will love.
If your partner’s face lights up when you give them a gift, then you can be fairly sure this is part of their core love language.

Acts of Service
For some people the greatest demonstration of love is to see you do something you know they will appreciate.
This may be as simple as cooking a meal once a week, or taking care of the kids for a few hours on a Saturday so your partner can have some time to themselves.
Or it could be giving a foot massage, cooking a special meal or simply emptying the dishwasher.
This is not about stereotypes and role definition but about making the time to do something to make your partner’s load a little lighter.
Making the effort to share the load really lets your partner know that you see how hard they work and that you are there for them.

Physical Touch
We have long known that physical touch is a powerful way of demonstrating love for your partner.
Embracing, kissing, holding hands and sex are special acts which you do not share with anyone else.
For some people, physical touch is vital. Without it, they don’t feel loved.
Physical love allows these people to feel secure in their relationship with their partner.
It can be as simple as touching their hand as you walk through the room they are sitting in. Or a hug and a kiss each morning and evening as you leave and return to house.
It doesn’t take much time or thought but can mean so much to your partner.
It is so easy to fall into routine with your partner and forget to show them how much you love and appreciate them.
But for a relationship to survive, both people must feel loved, seen, appreciated and secure.
Without this, arguments and resentments can arise creating friction that runs like an undercurrent through your relationship.
And when someone doesn’t feel secure and important to their partner, they may look for that feeling somewhere else.
Knowing your love language and discovering the love language your partner speaks, is a powerful way to transform your relationship and reignite those feelings of love that you are looking for.

How wonderful it is to laugh. It’s infectious. Laughter is the best medicine

adminJuly 15, 2021July 15, 2021Leave a comment

How wonderful it is to laugh. It’s infectious.

When laughter is shared it bonds people together and creates intimacy. Laughter also triggers healthy physical changes in the body, It helps to strengthen your immune system, boost energy, diminish pain and protect against the harmful effects of stress, and it’s free!

Laughter is one of the fastest ways to bring balance back to your body and mind.

It lightens your burdens, brings hope and keeps you grounded, focused and alert.

Laughter triggers the release of endorphins in the body which makes you feel good. Humour helps you keep an optimistic attitude even through disappointments, loss and grief. More importantly it gives us the courage and strength to find new meaning and hope for the future.

Even in the most difficult times, a laugh or even a smile will lift your mood. Laughter helps you be more spontaneous, and it lets you forget judgements, criticism and doubt. Your inhibitions are also reduced when you laugh giving you the chance to connect with the real you.

You’ve probably heard the saying ‘laughter is the best medicine’.

Laughter really does help to heal your body and mind. The flow of lymph fluid is increased by the simple convulsions that occur when we laugh. This boosts immune system functionality and cleans out old dead and waste products from your organs.

As you laugh you take in big gasps of air causing the oxygen levels in your blood to rise. This ensures all the organs in your body receive rich, oxygenated blood to repair tissue and provide healing.

Studies have shown that cancer cells are destroyed in the presence of oxygen, as are certain parasites and bacteria.

Increasing the levels of oxygen in the body can help with both the healing and prevention of various diseases

Laughing boosts circulation due to the very fact that as you laugh, you are exercising your abdominal muscles, the muscles in your face and enhancing flexibility throughout the body. The harder you laugh, the greater this effect.

The skin is the biggest organ in your body and in times of stress our faces can look drawn and tired. Increasing the flow of oxygen to our skin will improve the colour, reduce wrinkles and improve the overall texture.

Add to this the sparkle your eyes will have as you add joy to your life, and you will look and feel more attractive.

Serotonin is essential for balancing brain chemistry. It aids in fighting depression, compulsive and obsessive thinking and reduces the harmful effects of stress on the body.

Serotonin is a naturally occurring chemical in the brain, however, in times of stress and grief the body’s ability to produce it can be severely reduced. Sunshine and laughter can aid the body in producing this chemical naturally thereby improving your mood and overall mindset.

Health Benefits of Laughter

Boosts Immunity
Lowers Stress Hormones
Decreases Pain
Relaxes Muscles
Prevents Heart Disease
Eases Anxiety and Fear
Relieves Stress
Enhances Resilience
Attracts People to Us
Helps Diffuse Conflict
Enhances Teamwork

Due to the significant difference healthy brain chemistry can make to your life, adding laughter on a daily basis makes a lot of sense.

You can build laughter and joy into your everyday life in the same way you would add exercise.

Easy ways to add joy include the following:

Watch a funny movie or television show
Share a good joke or funny story
Host a game night with friends
Play with a pet
Do something silly
Play with children
Seek out funny people
Do a fun activity (bowling, mine-golf, karaoke)
Go to a ‘laughter yoga’ class
Check out your bookstore humour section

When we are struggling with major adjustments we can take life much too seriously. Lighten your mood by adding some fun into your day. Choose to find the funny side of a situation.

Share your embarrassing moments and don’t take yourself so seriously

Look for the humour, the irony and absurdity of life in a bad situation

Keep a toy on your desk, a photo of you having fun or a funny poster in your office Pay attention to children and emulate them

The ability to laugh, have fun and play with others not only makes life more enjoyable but it also makes you more creative helping you solve problems and connect with other people in your life. Life brings challenges which can either ‘get the best of you’ or which you can use to become ‘the best you can be’. When you become the problem and take yourself too seriously, it can be hard to think outside the box and find new solutions. When children are confused or afraid they make their problems into a game and thereby have the ability to step back and find creative solutions. We can learn a lot from the way children view life.

5 Simples Step On How To Use Keywords To Write Articles 12

adminJuly 7, 2021July 16, 202112 Comments

Keywords, the word every internet entrepreneur has to get used to, is the magic word to help to attract internet traffic to the websites.

Everyone who wants to be successful in internet business, be it those who are old timers or beginners.

And keywords will still be the go to catch word if one wants to be successful in online business.

Then, the question arises, how do we go about finding keywords?

There are a lot of keywords research tools and website in the internet, and I am not going to go into details of those websites or tools such as Jaaxy, keywords tool.io, wordtracker.com and so on.

There are quite a fair bits of reviews being done on Jaaxy, hence I am not going to do another review for Jaaxy.

What this article is focusing on is

what do we do after we use Jaaxy to find our keywords and
how do we write an article using the keywords we have researched.

There are a few steps we need to take in order to use the keywords to write an article.

1. Search for the keywords of the niche you are going to be promoting.

Usually people will use the keywords research tools to search for the popular keywords phrase.

A good search engine will have some features to indicate which are most popular and most searched keywords phrase.

2. Compile a list of keywords and keywords phrase

Before you write an article, it is advisable to use the keywords tool to compile a list of keywords.

In Jaaxy, you can easily compile and prepare a list of the keywords.

3. With the list, we can decide and determine how to go about creating the article we want.

Normally, in writing an article, we will usually ensure there are certain amounts of keywords use in the article, so that the search engine can pick up and drive traffic to the website.

4. Work out a frame work of the article base on the keywords prepared.

Once we have determined which keywords we are going to use, then we can start preparing the framework of the article, and see how we can effectively use the keywords and write a good article.

5. Putting the final work into completion.

Having decided on the framework, we can now start writing the articles.

Benefits of having keywords searched.

Since we have the keywords readily available, we will discover it is easier to write the article and the flow of thought is free flowing.
If we find it typing out the article is a tedious effort, perhaps we may want to use video or visual, and record a video and put in the website.

Nowadays, people tend to watch and listen instead of reading article, so using TIK TOK, YOUTUBE and any video recording may be a good idea to convey your message.

And using the keywords researched, we can prepare a good article.

IF you have any comments and feedback, please feel free to leave your input in the comments section below.

I will be glad to share and exchange ideas with you.

How 5 Key Ways To Improve Empathy

adminJune 25, 2021July 7, 2021Leave a comment

I wish to share a good article by Ms Allanah Hunt on how to improve Empathy.

Hopefully those who have the opportunity to read this will gain some useful knowledge on improving their empathy.

Empathy is a very important skill. It helps us develop deep levels of rapport and trust, both of which are vital for the success of our relationships as well as our interactions in the workplace. Having poor empathy skills can lead to unnecessary conflict born out of misunderstandings.

In business, the key component to our success is understanding the needs of our clients, patients, customers or staff. If we don’t focus on ‘putting ourselves in their shoes’, we will make catastrophic mistakes which can lead to failure.

The dictionary describes empathy as “the ability to understand and share the feelings of another”.

Understanding the importance of empathy and employing those skills are two different things. It is only when we act with true empathy that we can create connections that are long-lasting and real.

There are some instances where acting with empathy can feel overwhelming. It is important to learn how to balance our empathy for others with the need to take care of ourselves or we will burn out completely.

So what can we do to build empathy skills and improve our relationships with those around us?

Pay Close Attention

This might seem like a no-brainer but in truth, we are often so distracted by our mobile devices, what is showing on the television or our need to tell our own story, that we don’t really notice what someone is telling us. Just because you hear the words someone is saying, doesn’t mean you’ve heard them. Improving your listening skills will help you pay more attention to others and allow you to pick up on the emotions behind the words.

A great way to raise your ability to pay attention is to watch television with the sound off. In this way you can watch the interplay of emotions between the various characters and learn to pick up cues which will help you follow the story.

Distance Yourself From Stereotypes And Find Commonalities

We all have preconceived ideas about others based on the media, our peers and our own observations. But when it comes to individual interactions, we must put those aside and find a way to connect with others.

The best way to build a connection is to meet people where they are. Everyone has a story and if you take the time to listen, you might be surprised at what you discover. Sometimes the people we understand the least have the most to teach us.

Agree to Disagree

There may be occasions when you don’t agree with someone else’s view of a specific situation but where you can nonetheless recognize that empathy is required. This is particularly important when somebody is having a strong emotion and asking you to do something you can’t do.

Sometimes all that’s required is to listen and convey what is called cognitive empathy. It is possible to be authentically empathetic to show you understand what they are experiencing without having to agree.

Learn How To Respond

It can be very difficult to know what to say in response to someone, and to determine when to keep quiet and when to speak. Learning how to respond takes practice but a good rule of thumb is to simply acknowledge their feelings without giving advice. This is a hard one but the art of empathy is largely about ensuring that someone feels heard.

Practice saying statements such as, ‘I’m sorry this happened to you’. Say it several times to yourself in the mirror so that you can see the expression on your face when you speak. Watch empathetic leaders to listen to the tone of voice they use as well as their facial expressions.

In order to truly connect with others, we must allow ourselves to be vulnerable and potentially show emotion in response to theirs. It is not enough to put on a face or modulate your tone of voice. Empathy is conveyed through feeling rather than the words we use.

Strengthen Your Connection With Yourself

It is impossible to show empathy to others if you don’t have a strong connection with yourself first. As you show empathy to yourself, you will develop the ability to truly connect with other people’s emotions in a way that adds kindness, compassion and understanding to their situation.

Think about times when you have faced a difficult situation and what you might have needed at that time. Did your friends and family show empathy? What did that look like? What made you feel supported or unsupported? If you felt unsupported, what empathy did you show to yourself that helped you overcome your own difficulties? As you explore this, you will begin to put together a clear picture of how empathy can help others.

Empathy is a multi-faceted skill that will require practice and the ability to be flexible. Not everyone will want the same response from you so it’s important to be able to recognize subtle nuances in someone’s posture, facial expressions and tone of voice. And it’s just as important to become aware of the time when even though someone seems to be emotional, they may not wish to interact with you.

Wishing you an amazing day 😉

Investment Scams – How Can You Safely Avoid?

Chee Shi TeoApril 3, 2021June 23, 2021Leave a comment

Investment Scams, is it common in today's environment?

How do we avoid investment scams during this COVID-19 pandemic when everybody is desperate to make more money?

With this COVID-19 pandemic creating havoc in everyone's life and businesses,

most people are affected badly,
some even lost their earning power,
some are short of financial resources and desperate to find ways to increase their income.

What people will do in desperate situation?

Some people are looking at ways to earn a living,
or improve their income,
others will think of investing in some financial instrument,
they hope this will be the way to go and earn more income.

Why do people invest?

With the bank interest rate at all time low, people will believe putting their money in the bank will not give a good return.

Human being by its nature, will always look for high return on investment.

Hence we will tend to look at investment instrument to boost up our returns and make more money.

Therefor in the eagerness to go after high returns on investment, people tend to forget the basic rules of investment.

The saying of Too Good To Be True especially those schemes which promised return of investment of more than 10% per month.

Some reports of the Investment scams and their methods

In the News published by The Straits Times of Singapore on 3rd April 2021, under the heading - Promised Big Returns, Only To Leave Many High And Dry.

The Straits Times reported that a total of 15,756 scams in 2020, and one of the scams involved cryptocurrency trading platform.

There are quite a few such platforms in Singapore.

MAS - The Central Bank of Singapore, more commonly known as Monetary Authority Of Singapore, does not regulated some of the platforms of cryotocurrency.

Even the Prime Minister of Singapore also said in his Facebook page that some platforms used his profile, see the link .

You can see those scammers will take whatever actions and tricks they can, in order to get people to invest in their platform.

Every day, we can read about people being scammed, and with internet now more popular, and easily accessible in everywhere, it is even easier for scammers to take advantage of human greed and cash in on this.

How do we detect and learn how to spot investment scams?

You may want to consider the following points:

1. Risk Factor

Every investment carries risk, and if someone tells you, what they offer do not have risk or very low risk, go back to the basic motto of investing -- Too Good To Be True.

What do you need to do when you come across such a plan?

With internet and other resources, if one come across such an investment plan,
do carry out your due diligence and research,
especially for those investments plan, which claim to offer very good return with low or no risk.
If this is being offered online,
you can not even meet up with the promoter of the plan.

it is advisable to just drop this plan.

2. Prove of track records

When someone promote their investment to you, and claimed they can generate good and high returns,

Please carry out the following steps to check

do ask them to show documentary proof,
that they themselves have used the same plan,
and generated so much profit,
Meanwhile to make sure the proof being shown are statement from a Trading House or Bank,
which showed the promoter account with the transactions,
if the promoter of the investment plan is not willing to provide such a proof of track records,
hence, it is advisable to walk away from such investment plan.

3. Regulatory Framework

For any investment scheme, we need to ask the following questions:

Is the scheme is approved and monitored by the Center Bank of the country?
where the investment plan is originated, are there any chances the scheme is a scam?
even if it is not a scam, can the investors get back their money?
Moreover, Is the investment money protected?
What happen in the event the investment go south and fail to generated the returns as promised?

4. Guaranteed Returns and Investment

If the investment plan promised guaranteed return and investment amount is protected, all the more we need to carry out a thorough due diligence.

Check with the relevant authority of the authenticity of the plan,
Who are the people behind the plan,
Are they on the white list or not.

5. Influence Tactics

Some plan will always tell you the offer is expiring in one or two days, if you do not take advantage of it, you will lose a lucrative return or discounts being offered, which on the surface of it, look like a good bargain if you invest now and can get an even higher return than promised.

This tactic is to take advantage of human perception that scarce opportunity is a good item, and should take advantage of it.

6. Referral Scheme.

Some investments scheme offer referral scheme, that is, if you bring in certain investors, the platform will reward you some monetary rewards, or certain percentage of the invested amount of the investors you bring in to the plan or scheme.

It is quite unusual for any scheme to offer commission to investors who bring in investors to the scheme, if it is a legitimate scheme, all they need to do is to just publish a prospectus and let those who are interested to invest in, no need to incur additional cost for the plan.

7. What Are Available For Investor To Verify.

In Singapore, one can always go to Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) website to check on the validity of the investor plan, and if it is an oversea plan, they always search on the net with website like the SEC alert list such as .

1. https://www.investor.gov/introduction-investing/general-resources/news-alerts/alerts-bulletins/investor-alerts/investment-0

2. https://www.usa.gov/scams-and-frauds

These are just some issues about investors scam which we should be aware of.

You only live once, thus, it is important that we do not waste our life savings to scammers, in our eagerness to generate more returns on our investment.

How Do You Detect Investment Fraud?

adminMarch 18, 2021May 18, 2021Leave a comment

What Is Investment?

Investment, a word which make a lot of people think, this is how to have more money, and is the way to have more money and gain some income.

When Did Scammers Strike?

However, a lot of people have not been successful in their investment, especially during depressing environment, be it business, economic, health whatever.

Consequently a lot of people, in their desperation, try all sorts of investment methods, and ways just try to make money or recoup whatever is lost.

And this is the time, crooks and scammers thrive on human greed, and take full advantage of the vulnerability of human, as a result of which, this further make the investors lost more instead of recouping their losses.

According to Federal Trade Commission in its report stated that in 2020, they received more than 2.2 million reports about fraud, and about $3.3 billion was lost, you can read more about this in here.

Why People Fell To Scammers?

The problem is a lot of people think it will not happen to us, just like a lot of people think, they will not be infected with COVID-19 virus, even though they do not take the basic precaution, like wearing masks or wash hands often. If we have this assumption, and lay down our guard, or get greedy with some money making opportunity, we may regret our action later.

The crooks and scammers are much more sophisticated, with their intelligence, just wonder why don't they put their skills to good use, maybe they find it easier to scam, and con people, so they can make a lot of money.

So what are the usual or the latest tricks these scammers employed?

1. Too good to be true investment platform

A lot of times, some platforms claim they can generate return on investment way above the norm.

Some investors tend to believe this lucrative returns, and decide to invest, only to find out later it is just another Ponzi Scheme in operation.

Most of the time, investors do not bother to carry out some due diligence and find out more about the platform before investing.

2. You are approached to invest in certain investment plan.

When someone approach you and tell you, that he has a fantastic investment scheme, whereby, if you invest, you are able to make a lot of money, this is actually a red flag for you.

You should raise doubt about this too good to be true investment plan, sadly, a lot of people decide not to take more action to find out more about the scheme.

3. Use of the latest technology

Scammer usually have the following in their website:

Videos about their products or investment plan.
Testimonies in video presentation from supposedly successful investors who reap huge and handsome returns.

Upon seeing the videos, some people tend to believe the investment plan is genuine.

They will think this investment product can be trusted, unaware the crooks have created the videos just to impress people.

If one bother to check and do more research, they will find out similar videos have been shown in other investment plan too.

4, The Truth Secret of the Successful Investment Plan

If a marketer wants you to invest in the product he is promoting, and claimed that his method and technology is more advance and easier to make profit,.

What will you do?

Do you believe in him and jump in and give him money to invest for you?
Did you ask him what his secret is?
How is his method successful?
Whether he can show some proof to substantiate his claim?

If he refuses to show you some concrete evidence, that by using his method or technology, you can reap handsome profit in investment, you need to raise red flag, and be alarm of possible fraud and scam

5. The Most Vulnerable Group

Which is the most vulnerable group for investment fraud?

The group which is more prone to financial fraud, is the retiree group with huge sum of money, as they tend to make payment for one lump sum distribution.

We need to educate those retirees:

Not to hand over their money to someone,
Wary of some one who claim can help them to grow their money.

Fraudsters are good at evoking emotion, especially among the older retirees, to hand over their money in dubious decision-making.

6. Is there a thing called Secret Formula in investment?

if someone approach you to invest with him, claiming he has invented a secret formula in investment, and sure make money.

Before you jump into the opportunity, do the following:

Do ask him to show some hard evidence his secret formula has generated huge profit for him.
Ask him to show his trading records,
bank accounts statement showing he has made so much money
using his so called secret formula.

If he fails to do so, or is not willing to do so.

This is the sign you should just walk away from him.

7. Awareness of possible fraud.

The moment we accept the fact that we all are at risk to fraud, be financial, or otherwise, then we can safely say, we are at least at a certain level of awareness.

Who are the vulnerable group?

People who believe they are not vulnerable to frauds, and
these are the people who most likely fall into the trap,
After all they are not going to take necessary steps to protect themselves,
they are not aware and alert of fraud.

8. When Do Fraud Happen?

Fraud cases happen now and then.

It is more severe and rampant during crisis or disasters.

For example, the current COVID-19 Pandemic which has affected people from all walks of life, with people losing jobs, businesses badly affected and forced to close.

When do fraudsters strike?

When people in general are eager to generate income,
In order to ease the financial strain.

9. Have some knowledge especially financial knowledge to be aware of fraud

Nothing beat having the knowledge, and able to identify possible fraud.

As mentioned by one expert, she said “Prior knowledge about fraud, even generally, is particularly helpful in avoiding victimization,” .

Reasons Why Choose Wealthy Affiliate?

adminMarch 9, 2021February 10, 2022Leave a comment

Why Choose Wealthy Affiliate as the platform for your online business?

Why choose Wealthy Affiliate? people may ask this question when you tell them about your online business.

Instead, I will just write a short note on why choose Wealthy Affiliate, as the platform for me to embark on my journey in online business.

I have been looking for one platform where I can learn, and at the same time, generate some passive income from online business, I have searched online about a lot of (internet) business platforms.

A lot claimed they help people to earn so much per day, some even conduct some training physically however need to pay a hefty sum in order to learn the basic.

What are the usual methods used by other GURUs?

The usual trick by all those who organized seminars before the COVID-19 pandemic are as follows:

Charged a few thousands bucks,
If you wanted to learn more advance skills, you needed to join a so called inner circle,
Inner circle members need to pay a certain fee per month to maintain the membership
These members can access to more advance internet marketing skills and find out the GURU's successful formulae.

Most people will agree, merely attending the seminar is not effective.

Usually a physical seminar organized over two or three days

However It only showed you, the very basic methods or introductory lessons on internet business.

Then what make Wealthy Affiliate different from the rest out there in the market, be it online or physical persons?

Well, I am looking at one platform which can provide continuous learning, also provide support whenever I have some questions or some issues which I am not able to comprehend, and which is not that expensive and affordable.

What Attracts Me To Wealthy Affiliate and Why Choose Wealthy Affiliate?

That is where I came across Wealthy Affiliate, and after going through the website, and studied what it had to offer, I decide to give it a try by signing up as an ordinary member, and going through the limited access of the training and so on.

After a few weeks of using the website as ordinary member, I decided to sign up as a premium member, now that I can access to more in depth topics and learn more, this is quite similar to attending an internet GURU seminar and you need to sign up as inner circle members to gain more.

However, the main different is Wealthy Affiliate is affordable, and before the recent upgrade of the platform, it was quite cheap.

As a Premium Member, one can have access to more topics and support from Wealthy Affiliate team,, especially the technical support team, even from the members who are ever helpful.

Since the fees per year is inclusive of the hosting and access to educational learning, so it is good that once one signs up, really focus on what are offered and learn as much as possible, go through the various training materials, and complete the assignments,

by completing the assignment, one would understand more about internet marketing, and how to make a living using this platform.

The ultimate aim is to achieve your goal of financial freedom and quality family life

Loosening Hip Flexors

adminMarch 6, 2021February 10, 2022Leave a comment

Exercise is supposed to help a person to keep fit and healthy, with this in mind, we train hard and eat well.

But then we still face some issues with our health, and doctors do not seem to be able to find out how to resolve the problem.

Yes, I am talking about hip flexors, You see, our hip flexors are the engine through which our body moves. They control balance, our ability to sit, stand, twist, reach, bend, walk and step.

If our hip flexors tighten, surely it will cause a lot of problems and as a result, it will also affect our health.

How do we get tightened hip flexors?

1. The most common cause of tightening hip flexors is sitting too long in a chair, especially for those who have to sit in front of the computer for hours nowadays.

Hence, most of the time, we notice people who have been sitting too long, they stand up and move their hip here and there, however, does this help?

As you can see, weakness, shortening and tightness develops in the muscle through sitting for extended hours, furthermore poor sleep posture and even work tension and stress could be the results too.

What are the effects of tighten hip flexors?

If you have the following signs, generally speaking, chances are you have the tightened hip flexors:

Nagging joint pains in your legs, lower back or hips
Walking with discomfort
Hips locking up
Bad posture
Trouble sleeping
Sluggishness in day to day life
High Anxiety
Digestive problems
Compromised Immune System
Circulatory issues
Loss of sexual performance
Lack of Explosiveness in the gym or sports

Does Static Stretching help in curing tightened hip flexors?

Even though it may just provide a temporary relief of the tightness of the hip, therefore to learn more about, you may want to click HERE

Goal Achievement

What is Goal Achievement?

With goal achievement, it certainly creates satisfaction.

Our wonderful life usually happens in the journey towards attaining ours goal.

To attain our goals, we take action based on inspiration, hope and motivation.

However living a wonderful life can happen, regardless of achieving a goal or not.

So if you embark on some fitness program to keep yourself fit, and achieve the goal of reducing your weight, say from 80 kg to 67kg, then go for it.

Assuming 67 kg is your ideal weight, and if you can achieve the goal, it will be a huge satisfaction, and you accomplish your mission.

I have seen my friend trying her best to do some flat belly exercise, and does not seem to get anywhere .

One day, she tried out something, which I have been telling her to do, and it seemed it worked!!

This is just one of the examples of achieving goal set.

Goal Settings and Goal Achievement

In our life, we set a few goals since birth, since the day we started to know our surrounding.

As we enter school age, we set goal to have better grade.

Then we set goal to finish our education at tertiary level.

After that, we start our working life, we set another goal, to reach certain level in corporate world, if you are in the corporate world.

For those who are self-employed, earning passive income in online world, or self-made entrepreneur, and making money online, we will set our goal of so much per night.

So is goal setting that important?

Goal setting is just one tool we use to achieve our target.

We use goal setting as a barometer to focus on the task we have in hand.

Just like in Wealthy Affiliate journey, some set the goals as follows:

how much money to make per day.
The amount of money to make per week.
What will be the amount we are aiming for per month.
The goal of money made in a year.

We have a sense of satisfaction, the feeling of mission accomplished, when we achieved our goals.

However, the start up may not be smooth sailing, as people thought it was.

Without hard work and hours spent, focusing on setting goals, trial and errors, we say we have achieved our goal, once we see the light at the end of the tunnel.
