4 Morning Habits of Successful People That You Must Develop

How your day gets shaped has a lot to do with how you begin it and that’s why in this post I will be talking about some morning habits of successful people that can help you to have a great day in a way that can enable you to move a step ahead towards your success every day.

Why the Morning Time Is So Important?

We have always heard that the early morning hours must be used constructively because it is the most essential part of our whole day, but have you ever wondered why?

It is because when we wake up our mind gets refreshed as if we have pressed the reset button, this is why they say that we are born again every day as our energy is all new and we can choose a new path to make positive changes.

Sadly, most people lose that freshness soon because they allow the thoughts of yesterday to take over them and this makes their day similar to their recent past.

This is why I am going to bring to light a few techniques that will enable you to take control of your day by clearing the thought patterns you have been carrying around for a long time. Continue reading

Ashwagandha (Indian Ginseng) – Benefits and Side Effects

I was reading about smart drugs recently and that’s when I came to know that people are using an Ayurvedic medicine named “Ashwagandha” that is also known as Indian Ginseng or Withania Somnifera, for the purpose of improving the cognitive functions of the brain.

That was really an astonishing thing to know for me since I have lived in the central region of India for a very long time, I knew about this particular herb, but I never knew that it can also be used for such purposes.

After reading about this Ayurvedic medicine in detail I am writing this post in order to help people know whether this herb really has such benefits as we have heard or if it is just a myth.

What Is Ashwagandha or Indian Ginseng?

Ashwagandha has been considered as a very powerful medicine by the ancient Indian Ayurveda science.

It is a plant that has different medicinal benefits. Especially, its fruit and root is used to treat various diseases, whereas it also helps one to stay healthy in various ways.

In Sanskrit the word “Ashwa” means Horse and “Gandha” means odor, it is so named due to the smell of the plant root that resembles like of a horse’s smell.

The herb contains the required chemicals that can treat mind related issues and increase body’s immune power. Apart from this there are a plethora of reasons for which people use it and we are now going to take a look at its most popular usages.

Alleged Health Benefits and Actual Reports

This particular herb has gained immense popularity for tons of rumored medical benefits including its effectiveness in treating cancer and preventing the side effects of chemotherapy, I am going to share all its alleged benefits here about which I have investigated:-

1 – Mental Fitness

This herb is highly used to treat various mind related afflictions like anxiety, stress, depression and insomnia.

Many studies have shown that Indian Ginseng can be very helpful in treating depression, since it has mood stabilizing properties. That also makes it effective to reduce anxiety and stress.

This plant’s root extract is considered to be a good sleep aid. As it has calming effect on the mind, it surely can help people to sleep properly.

It is also said that this medicine can help people with ADHD, but there isn’t much information available yet to support this.

2 – Fertility

Probably, this is one main reason for which this herb has attracted a lot of people towards it. There have been many claims that Ashwagandha helps to improve sexual functions in both males and females.

I have also heard that it can improve the semen quality, but there are very less evidences to back up all the effectiveness of this plant on human fertility about which we hear a lot nowadays.

3 – Immune System

I remember how a Yogi promoted the use of this plant a few years ago in my country and people increasingly started using it believing that it will enhance their body’s immune system.

Researches have shown that Ashwagandha is helpful in fighting diseases, but it is still uncertain whether it can really boost one’s ability to resist disease causing microorganisms.

4 – Cancer

Recently, the internet searches for this herb have increased exponentially due to the rumor that it can help to treat cancer.

Ashwagandha has been found to be effective in treating and preventing cancer in laboratory experiments performed on animals; however it has not been yet proved that it will work similarly for humans as well.

5 – Cognitive Functions of Brain

As I said before, my curiosity about this medicine was developed by what I came to know while reading about the smart drugs that improves cognitive functions of the brain.

Tons of Ashwagandha based products are now available for people who are looking to improve their brain’s cognitive functions, but it really has not been yet proved to have any such qualities.

 6 – Diabetes

Some research works have shown that this Ayurvedic medicine has blood sugar reducing properties, but that doesn’t imply it can improve insulin production.

7 – Arthritis

Among all these points this one is something for which Ashwagandha is considered to be most effective.

According to the experts, this herb has some great anti-inflammatory properties which make it a very good cure for arthritis.

These were few most well known reasons for which people use Indian Ginseng, now let’s take a look at the side effects.

Cautions and Side Effects of Ashwagandha

There are very less known side effects of this herb (when taken by mouth), but it is best to consult your doctor before trying it. However, it is essential that you should always keep in mind a few possible unfavorable effects of Ashwagandha.

1 – Heavy and uncontrolled usage can result into various stomach related problems like diarrhea.

2 – Pregnant women should not take this herb and it could also create breastfeeding related problems.

3 – Diabetic patients may experience imbalanced body sugar levels, which can cause a lot of trouble when they are already using other medications.

4 – A lot of people have experienced thyroid related issues while using Indian Ginseng.

5 – You must avoid this if you have any bleeding issues.

6 – Avoid using while you are on sedatives.

7 – Stop using this herb if you have any upcoming surgery ahead.

Conclusion

Overall, from what I have known about this Ayurvedic herb, it is very good for two purpose i.e. to calm down the mind and for treating arthritis.

For all other purposes you will have to use it for yourself and see if it works for you or not. There are tons of products based on this available online like the “True Veda’s Organic Ashwagandha Vegetarian Capsules“.

I am not a doctor or health expert to advice you to try Ashwagandha, I have just written this post based on what I have learned about it, there could be possible side effects of this herb based on your body type, so please do consult your doctor before you try them.

Root Chakra Healing Meditation – Muladhara Balancing

If you want to have peace in all your worldly affairs, then you must have a balanced root chakra and that is why I will be discussing with you a root chakra healing meditation in this post using which you will be able to allow the proper flow of energy through this energy center.

When a person finds it difficult to fulfill his materialistic needs, it is one very obvious symptom of a blocked root chakra because this energy center is what connects our spiritual body with the external world.

Working on the other chakras before taking care of Muladhara is like building more storeys to a tower with a weak foundation, it may look good for a while but it won’t be able to stand for long.

I am saying this because I know how so many people try to stimulate their heart chakra and third eye chakra without even caring about the lower energy centers. For a while it may work well, but later it will backfire. Continue reading

Bulletproof Coffee Review – The Biohacking Buttered Coffee

I am writing this bulletproof coffee review based on my experience and by doing a short research on the subject since I was very curious to know more about this over-hyped buttered coffee that went viral a few years ago.

Considering the impact Dave Asprey’s biohacking coffee recipe has made on the internet and social media, I think I am arriving very late in the scenario, anyways it is a fresh thing for me and so is for many people who are yet to know about it after me and maybe through this post itself.

People have praised and criticized this particular secret to stay more energized while shedding pounds from Dave Asprey, so it has become very difficult to know whether this thing works or not.

That’s why I think I can help a few people to know the truth with this post, where I will be talking about it in full detail.

What Is Bulletproof Coffee?

In simple words, it is the regular coffee prepared without adding sugar or milk, but using butter instead with a little MCT Oil (or coconut oil).

According to Dave, a large cup of this coffee in the morning helps you to stay more energized throughout the day, which allows you to perform better and be more productive in whatever work you do whereas it also kills the food cravings.

One of the prime reasons why people are attracted towards this coffee is due to its weight loss benefits, it is said that if you will drink this during breakfast you won’t feel hungry at all for the rest of your day! But that doesn’t mean you should avoid food.

There is a specific diet plan to be followed along with the intake of this buttered coffee for achieving its true benefits, which is all about skipping breakfast and giving about an 18 hour gap between your dinner and the next day lunch.

The weight loss mechanism that works here is the same one that has been used by many diet plans “ketosis” which means the body automatically kicks into the fat burning mode when it runs out of carbs.

Dave Asprey discovered this recipe in 2009 after drinking a yak butter tea in Nepal and since then this special coffee has been used by numerous people, including some well known sportspeople and celebrities, he claims that drinking this in the morning improves your cognitive functions.

Bulletproof coffee has been featured on many television shows and it is a very popular thing in the Silicon Valley.

The Actual Bulletproof Coffee Experience

People say that this coffee is delicious; I didn’t believe that initially, butter in coffee? How could that be a good taste? But it was! Without even adding sugar, the taste was good.

Unlike what I expected, I felt hungry later and skipping breakfast did not really felt like a good idea.

Honestly, for a few days the only thing that appeared good to me about this whole thing was the taste and on contrary to the purpose, I often felt sluggish during the day while doing this so called “biohacking”.

Slowly I realized why people are talking about it so much, I felt no real need to eat during my day and I was more alert than usual.

My work doesn’t require any physical effort, all I need is focus and it was helping me in some way with that.

However, even though I wasn’t eating much, I didn’t lose a pound!

A little extra energy during the day was not enough to motivate me to go into the kitchen every morning and make this coffee, so I finally stopped drinking it.

Dave Asprey has also received a lot of criticism from nutritionists and other people who believe that this is just a false publicity method he has used to make money.

On the other hand, I have also seen so many people attributing their increased energy levels and weight loss to this little morning secret.

Overall, I think this thing works well for some people and not others depending on their body types.

See, I do have a lot of weight to shed, but I don’t crave for high calorie food nor do I eat more than needed, so it didn’t work well for me to lose weight. It surely did made me feel more energetic, but I don’t have a tiresome schedule in order to use it for that purpose.

If you are among people who start feeling sluggish after the first half of their work hours, if you work at night or if you have the habit of emotional eating, then I think you must give it a try. After all, the coffee has developed a cult of its own, so there must be some truth to it right?

Preparation

1 – Make 2 cups of black coffee in the regular way. (You can use bullet proof upgraded coffee for more benefits, says Dave Asprey).

2 – Put 2 spoons of grass fed unsalted butter in it with some MCT oil or coconut oil.

3 – Mix them in a blender, allowing it to be creamy as it should be. (Do not use a spoon or any other way to mix)

4 – Done, enjoy your bulletproof coffee.

If you find it hard to get all the required items then you can also order the upgraded bulletproof kit.

Here’s a video where Dave shows how to make it: –

Smart Drugs for Cognitive Enhancement – What Are They?

I got curious an excited when I heard about the smart drugs for cognitive enhancement while watching the promo of a personal development product “the amazing you” that I reviewed recently. Since then, I have been reading and trying to gather as much information about them as possible.

I had many questions in my mind about this like – What are Nootropics? Does smart drug really work? Is it safe to use them? etc., etc. I cannot say all my questions got answered completely, but I have gained enough knowledge about it now to decide whether I should try it or not. Continue reading

Dissolve Limiting Beliefs – Unleash Your Subconscious Mind Power

If you want to unleash your subconscious mind power then it is essential that you should dissolve the limiting beliefs that stops you from using the higher faculties of your mind to achieve what you want in life.

People who have achieved great success in their lives are the ones who have learned the ways to make the necessary changes in their inner world because everything in our outer world is a reflection of what beliefs we hold within us.

Our subconscious mind is very powerful and it can make the most difficult tasks very easy for us, but only if we could learn the right way to make it work in our favor.

I am not exaggerating, it is all true, just like we can make traveling simple and quick using wheels, our mind can make our most difficult goals achievable for us when the required inner work is done.

Even though we have a very powerful tool at our disposal, only a few people know how to make right use of it, in fact many of us are unconsciously using this power against ourselves. Continue reading

Mark Williams’ Likeability Blueprint Review

I am going to give you all the necessary information in this “Likeability Blueprint” program review that will be helpful to you if you are thinking about buying this product.likability blueprint

Everyone wants to be the one who is liked by others, but despite of having all the good qualities most people fail to earn the appreciation of other people.

Often people who lack kindness are also liked by many people, whereas those who are always trying to take care of others are not.

See, there is something more profound than external qualities which decide how others will treat us and if you won’t fix that, nothing is going to change.

I am not a big fan of persuasion skills because from what I have learned in my spiritual journey, I know that we cannot make other people to like us by pretending to be different, so I would have never bought this product if it was entirely based on that.

However, I liked the program because it is more about working on one’s own inner world.

There is a phrase that I often like to use “you cannot make someone love you, but you can become lovable”, and that’s what this program is all about.

Likeability Blueprint in Complete Detail

The maker of this program Mark Williams is a psychology of influence expert who is gaining a lot of popularity by teaching something that he calls “Likeability Blueprint“.

Likeability blueprint is a collection of action steps you can take to become someone who holds the power to influence others.

There are countless benefits of this because your friendship, career, relationships, etc. depends on how you connect with others.

This program will teach you to gain the trust of others so that they could contribute to your success in some way.

You need to have some credibility in the workplace if you want to get promotions; likewise you must be seen as a reliable person by your customers if you are running a business.

Even if you are someone who is liked by others, there is always room for improvement, and the knowledge you will receive in this program will help you at every new level to which you will advance.

Apart from the psychological changes, you will also get to learn a few tips in this program on how you should behave in order make an impact while interacting with others, which includes your body language and how you express yourself.

One thing that stops people from connecting with others is shyness, and shyness is nothing but the fear of being judged/criticized, so Mark will teach you how to build new relationships.

Auto Magnetism

That’s an exaggerated term used for this program’s promotion, but this is what made me to buy this product because it is about changing one’s subconscious beliefs and as a personal development blogger I know this is possible.

See, people’s behavior towards us depends a lot on our personality’s subtle attributes which is a result of the beliefs present in our subconscious mind.

By reprogramming your subconscious mind you will naturally be able to influence others.

Building a healthy self-image, which is the opinion we hold about ourselves deep within our hearts, can change the way we conduct ourselves around other people.

Once that happens, you will be surprised to see how people start behaving differently with you than before.

Inside the Package

The main material of this package is an eBook that is a complete course on likeability, this book has the knowledge, methods and exercises using which you can change your subconscious programming so that you could develop the right behavioral patterns that will naturally make people to like you.

Bonus Materials

Here are a few bonuses that come with this program right now: –

Audio Book – In case you find it hard to learn from the book, then this audio book will be of great use to you since it contain all the  information present in the eBook.

Art of Small Talk – A very interesting bonus that will teach you how to make a good impact in small talks.

Note – These bonus items can vary with time, if you want to know what they are offering at present then you will have to visit their product website.

Final Advice

This course does contain some techniques using which you can influence others, but I will advise you to focus on altering your subconscious beliefs instead.

Even though what you will learn in this course will definitely help you to improve your relationships, but you should not waste your time trying to please someone specific.

If you want to change how someone thinks about you, then please don’t buy this course because nothing in the world can change how a person feels about you except that particular individual.

However, if you are willing to become a person who is generally liked by people or if you want to build new, better relationships, then I would strongly advise you to go for it.

Heart Chakra Healing Meditation – Feel More Loved

It becomes impossible for a person with an imbalanced heart chakra to feel loved, and that’s why I am going to share a heart chakra healing meditation in this post using which you will be able to heal your 4th chakra.

A closed heart chakra will always make you feel incomplete even if you have accomplished everything on the physical plane that you desire, because this energy center connects your lower chakras with the higher ones which means it connects your spiritual world with your physical world.

After basic survival needs, love is what we all need the most whether we accept it or not, however that doesn’t mean that the love must come from somewhere outside. When we feel loved by someone else we are actually opening ourselves to the feel the higher emotions that were already present inside us. Continue reading

Turn Sleep Paralysis and False Awakenings into a Lucid Dream

Do you get sleep paralysis or false awakenings frequently? If yes, then by reading this post you will learn some working methods that can turn both of these troublesome experiences into a lucid dream.

Usually, people are more afraid of sleep paralysis, but for me it is the false awakening loops that make life difficult because it has caused disruption in my sleep cycles for a very long time and sometimes it regularly nags me for more than a week.

Sleep paralysis on the other hand is not that scary to me as it is for other people since I learned to deal with it very early when I came to know about what lucid dreaming is.

The good news is that you can convert these two lucid dreaming problems into an opportunity to have a lucid dream and that’s what I am going to talk about in this post. Continue reading

The Power Quadrant Review – Scam or Real?

I would have never written this review of the Power Quadrant System if someone would have told me what it is before I checked their site out or if I didn’t see so many power quadrant websites with irrelevant content under the google review searches that provides no information on whether this product is genuine or scam.

Honestly, when I decided to buy this product for reviewing I thought that it is a personal development product that might be teaching some ways to achieve success by knowing one’s true purpose in life, but then I came to know that it is some ancient calendar crap which promises to decode the destiny that was imbued in our DNA when we were born.

I don’t believe that we are destined to be someone before we took birth and I never buy the idea that stars or calendar can say anything about ourselves.

But I tried the power quadrant product because it was available at a very low price and since there is a dearth of proper information about this product in the review sites.

What Is the Power Quadrant System?

According to the makers, our key to a successful life is coded in our DNA and by using the right calendar calculation we can determine the right path to make things happen effortlessly.

This calendar they talk about is not the one we are using right now, it is an ancient calendar that lost its existence when the Roman’s took over the world and introduced the new calendar.

The makers point out a few faults in our calendar, some of which I already knew like this calendar initially had 10 months and October was so named because it was the eight month (octo – 8) in it.

They also say that the new calendar misses an entire moon cycle, well I don’t know about that, but how could all this affect our lives? I really don’t know.. but the makers say it does!

About the Creators of the Quadrant System

This product is created by the couple, Ric and Liz, they discovered this calendar, and it helped them during an unfavorable situation where their company was going through a bad phase, which affected their financial situation and inner peace, hence they were losing hope.

The calendar told them that Liz was not doing a work which was of her type, so they did what was right and it fixed everything.

They came to know about this stuff that they call as the ancient calendar and DNA decoder when it was introduced to them by an old lady who told them stories about a stone that was discovered in the year 1600. This stone has a calendar was carved in it, a calendar that helps people to take the right decisions and it was used by the ancient civilizations to live a happy life that they actually came to live here on earth.

Ric says that he and Liz did a ten year long research on this and tested these codes on people, using what they learned and things that worked, they have prepared this power quadrant system. They say that the only purpose of this program was to spread the secret that they have come to know.

The makers don’t claim that this discovery is theirs and they say that you will find a lot of information about this calendar in many other places, but what they have done is just a simplification of a process that could take years for anyone to complete.

Inside the Package

The program is all about the 53-minute audio track that teaches you everything that you actually need to know about yourself using the ancient calendar.

In those 53 minutes you will know your codes using which you can make the perfect decisions in your life.

This material especially focuses on two main things i.e. career and soul mate. So you will learn to know which is the right profession for you using the codes and you can match these codes to find out who could be your ideal soul mate.

This audio talks about a color system using which you will be able to identify under which color your personality fall. Thus it will reveal what type of people will support you and who will cause you trouble depending on the color match.

You will be able to know your spouse’s code and learn why the problems in your relationships exist.

In this 53 minute audio you will understand why what you are doing is not yielding the results that you want and what you should be doing instead, it will reveal your life purpose and the gifts with which you were born.

You will also get a workbook to make the essential notes.

There are some bonus materials available with the product right now: –

1 Real Life Legends Club Test Drive

You will get a onetime free VIP access to a club where a lot of interviews with the greatest names in the personal development industry are uploaded frequently. You will find the interviews of some very big names like Tony Robbins, John Gray, Neal Donald Walsh etc. and the collection has more than 46 interviews right now.

But this is just a one month subscription and you will have to pay for the further access.

2 Books

You will get two books for free if you buy the product right now, the books are “change your mind, change your life” and “action blueprint” that teaches you various stuff about how you can create a better life using various principles.

These bonuses may vary from time to time, you will have to check out the product website to know what they are offering presently.

My Opinion

Alright, we have reached to the most important part of this review, the conclusion. First of all, after doing my research I came to know that there exists such an ancient calendar which can help people with their important decisions just like astrology, I didn’t believe in it and neither do I believe in astrology.

After following this program, a few good things happened, I won’t deny that, but since I do a lot of personal development activities, I can’t give the credit to this program with certainty for what I received. However I suggested it to a friend who is crazy about such things and he said that it works, but I don’t think it worked for me.

One thing that kept me thinking was the question why this program is available for such a low price? Because this audio contained things in detail about this calendar that isn’t available elsewhere, so if I was selling it, I would have kept the price high.

However, I got my answer soon. See, the real life legends club to which they are giving a initial free access is a real gem because it contains such valuable interviews that it will leave you wanting more, so you will eventually end up paying for the whole subscription. Hence according to me this product is available for such a low price so that they could get you into this club maybe.

For more information, you can visit the product website here.

 

I hope you enjoyed this post. If you want to achieve some big goals, then I suggest you to try the methods that I use for clearing energy blocks and eliminate limiting subconscious beliefs.
