GET WHAT YOU WANT MOST OF THE TIME: How to Use Negative Emotion to Your Benefit

I am of the belief that self-expression is a path to transformation. To express yourself means that you give yourself permission to share your inner reality with the outside world of others. Ex-press means to press out, to reveal your inner thoughts and feelings so that others see you for who you really are. The value of self-expression is empowerment, confidence and creation of what you want.



Creating or getting what you want is my theme here. Using the power of self-expression, you can get what you want most of the time. Oddly enough, your negative emotions are often the key to unleashing an unfettered ability to receive all you could ever want in your life. You can use your negative emotions to work for your benefit if you understand that they are part of a natural process of transformation.



The purpose of emotion is to tell you what is right and wrong in your life. Positive emotions tell you to move towards whatever and whoever causes the good feelings. Negative emotion is a clue that something is not good for you and needs to be changed. A strong negative emotion is an inner signal that you need to evaluate what is happening that you don't want.



It is easy to get stuck in the negative feeling and focus only on what is happening that you don't like. You play it over and over in your head reinforcing the negative situation. In so doing, you miss the gift of the negative state.



The negative emotion is only the first step of a three-step process of transformation for the good. There is an important second step to take in using your negative emotion for your benefit. This second step is to identify what you do want. In a few short minutes you can pop out of the negativity by clarifying what you want to be happening.



The empowering third step is to express what you want to the appropriate person(s). Simply ask for what you do want. Be careful to focus your request on what you do want rather than what you don't want. Most of the time, the person will give it to you. Oddly it is the last thing we think of when we are stuck in negativity. But it is the easiest thing to do. Once you get in the habit of asking for what you want, the results are like magic in your life!



OK, I know this is simplistic. But, sometimes simple is best.



When I was first working with this approach to managing my emotional intensity, I had so much feeling that my requests sounded angry and did not get the best results. That may happen to you during your learning curve. That's OK, you are learning. With a little practice, it becomes easy to ask in a neutral tone. That makes it easy for others to give you what you want. The more you get what you want, the easier it gets to ask for what you want. The more you ask, the more you receive. And here's the cool thing. Once you are getting most of what you want, it becomes very easy to let go of the things that you can't get!



So, next time you find yourself stuck in negative feelings, stop and ask yourself "Just what is it that I want?" Then ask the right person for it. Stand back, because you are very apt to get it…most of the time.

Top Essay Writing Dilemmas and Solutions

DON'T FORGET TO COMMENT ON THIS ARTICLE

by Brian Fincher

Essay writing is quite a dynamic task. It demands a lot of hard work and persistence to produce a quality composition. Every step in essay writing is crucial that's why essay writers often have a hard time finishing this complex and nerve- racking task.

Most writers encounter dilemmas in every stage of the entire essay writing process – from choosing a topic down to editing. Here are some common hindrances and easy solutions in creating top-rate essays.

• Having an irrelevant or boring topic. It is a primary requirement in essay writing that the chosen subject to be discussed is exciting and relevant. Having a good topic to work on keeps the writing process enjoyable. Readers are also easily hooked with unique, thrilling and educating topics.

Solution: Read and observe. Check out for potential topics.

• A weak thesis statement. Essays are written for the prime purpose of informing and persuading people. A thesis statement embodies the argument that the essay wants to prove. Having a weak and illogical argument makes the essay immaterial.

Solution: Don't use mere opinions and accepted facts as an argument rather, something
that is debatable.

• An inefficient opening paragraph. A dull lead paragraph pushes the readers away. Too long starting paragraph also pisses the readers off. An enticing lead grabs the readers' eyes to finish the entire article.

Solution: Use powerful words but not too much superlatives. Make it concise.

• Lack of interest or understanding of the topic. A writer can never create a masterpiece without having sufficient knowledge on the topic. It can be very difficult to write about something that is unfamiliar. This leads to haphazardly-written works.

Solution: Choose a topic that excites interest. Do quality research about the topic.

• Poorly researched evidence. Having irrelevant evidences or arguments makes reading an essay a waste of time for the readers. Poorly researched evidences prove nothing.

Solution: Look for credible and up-to-date research materials.

• Inability to use evidence properly. Evidence doesn't always equate to a quality essay. It depends on how the evidence is used. Inability to use relevant evidence makes the proof useless.

Solution: Select only evidences that suit the argument and write them in a logical manner.

• Inconsistent position on a subject. Coherence is the key to an excellent essay. Inconsistency of arguments on the selected topic is quite confusing for the readers.

Solution: Stick to a single point all throughout the essay.

• Having a vague and illogical structure. An unorganized structure results to inability of the essay to communicate the ideas clearly to its readers.

Solution: Create an outline to arrange the ideas.

• Bad command of grammar and punctuation. Writing is governed by set of rules. Inaccurate grammar and punctuations destroy the credibility of the essay even if it is brilliantly conceptualized.

Solution: Proofread and allow others to edit the draft.

• Incorrect reference of sources of information. Inappropriate attribution of the key sources also makes the essay less convincing. Citing the references gives the readers an assurance that the essay is thoroughly researched.

Solution: List all references properly.

Essay writing offers a lot of challenges for the writer. It is a complex yet rewarding task. The only issue is whether or not the writer is up to the challenge.

With an extravagant fondness for movies, Brian, a 26-year old copywriter, tirelessly searches for websites where he can share comments or check essays on every single film he sees.

Writing research papers entails a critical attention to every detail. Sound academic pieces never undervalue this noteworthy part in the process of research – taking quality notes.

Note-taking is a complex step in research writing. It is not as easy as copying some notes in a blackboard. There are a lot of imperatives to consider:

1.Be concise. Even if taking notes for background, sharpen it down to short but succinct phrases. But do not rely too much on mental notes for it is not 100% reliable.

2.Have more than one key source. Having two or more relevant sources gives weight to the research paper. It is also a determinant of a thorough research skill.

3.Copy contradictory arguments. Having opposing argument that is easy to rebut by another counterpoint is an excellent rhetorical device.

4.Always paraphrase. This is to avoid plagiarism. It is also essential to write down the words in one's one word for it determines the writer's comprehension of the text.

5.Be cautious in attributing. In using many sources it is important to attribute properly for it gives the paper credibility.

6.Be systematic. Have a system in writing that really works. An orderly note-taking will help eventually in writing drafts and outlines.

7.Write legibly. Writing haphazardly results to incomprehensible notes. Hand-written notes must always be clear to prevent misreading.

8.Write only the relevant. Scan for the key words and phrases that are significant to the research paper. Don't just write everything down.

9.Use symbols and abbreviations. It is easier to take down notes if symbols and abbreviations are used. Just make sure that a legend is available so that the meanings of the symbols are also clear.

10.Review and edit the notes. After taking notes review and edit it. A single mistake like not being able to write the word "not" will totally distort the meaning of the text. Every single word in note-taking may affect the research paper.

With the painstaking effort in writing research papers it is really a must to know the nitty-gritty of taking down notes.

Research papers' main objective is to create a quality academic piece that is nonetheless supported with credible evidences. And the only thing to achieve this is through a scrupulous and persistent note-taking.

Copywriting Tips for Effective Article Marketing

by Irina M

Effective copywriting is an art. It means knowing how to effectively use persuasive words aimed at a targeted market. It means knowing what your clientele base needs and composing your copy accordingly with passion and enthusiasm. In the modern world of today where everybody is always online, having a web content that is efficiently written spells the success of any online business. Regardless whether your webpage is aesthetically designed when its content is only attractive to three to four-year-olds, then you surely will not get the attention of your targeted market. Hence, we see the significance of effective copywriting. So what exactly does it take for a copy to be considered effective? Let's find out.

As with any kind of speech, talk, letter, epistle, the headline plays a very vital role. It is necessary that your headline immediately attracts your reader. A boring or a raw headline will not force any reader to continue and read the entire copy. The same things holds true for your content's introduction. Having been able to attract your reader through your headline, your introduction should likewise encourage your reader to read on. The introduction should be short and straight to the point.

One should also make it a point to make a good follow-through. This means that the body of your website content should be coherent not only with the introduction but with the entire copy. The use of subheadings will help one achieve this. Most readers will look for short copies instead of long ones. With subheadings, one is able to point out important points that need to be stressed. Subheadings make it easier for readers to grasp the idea of the whole content without having to read the entire copy.

Your choice of words will also be an important factor in this task. It should go without saying that using everyday language would be beneficial not only for the writer but also for the reader of the copy. This means that a wider clientele base will be reached with an easy-to-understand language than those techy ones that only scientists or geniuses can understand.

Another effective technique is the use of bullets. This method is normally used when explaining some procedure, instruction, and the like. Not only will this make the reader understand the copy easier, it is an efficient means of cutting your copy short.

Although your copy shouldn't be colorfully presented, your choice of font and font size is also a factor that will determine whether your readers will go through the copy or will not. Remember to use a simple one and to use a light background with a dark font. Doing the other way around is equivalent to an invisible content with nobody wanting to read it.

Finally, after having successfully attracted your customers to read through your content, make sure to have a powerful ending or conclusion. This will ensure you that your readers will remember what the entire article he has just read was all about. Stress out the most important point in your article. Play it out with the right choice of words and you assure yourself of customers who would want to go back to your site and read your content.

How to Write Essays the Easy Way

Subscribe in a Reader

DON'T FORGET TO COMMENT ON THIS ARTICLE

by Martha Garnet

When you get to hear someone say, "I don't know how to write an essay!," he or she is lying.

At some points in our lives, whether we admit it or not, we've written a lot of essays. We may not have submitted those essays to our teachers in school, but we've given those pieces of writing to our parents, siblings, children, and friends--in form of letters.

So why many people still find essay writing a "scary thing"—to the extent that they seek the help of an essay writer, writing service firms or buy essay just to have a fine one?

Why buy essay or avail the services of an essay writer and writing service firms, when you can do it on your own?

You just have to follow basic rules about essay writing, and here are some of them:

Start the process of essay writing by doing a research—this will help you to become an expert essay writer. Resources for writing an essay or essays abound: various Web sites over the Internet, academic-related databases as well as public libraries, you just have to use them. Jot down notes and widen your vocabulary--to improve your reading speed as well--when researching for an essay topic.

After doing a research, begin analyzing the lines of reasoning or arguments of all the essays that you are reading. Identify the claims, take down all the reasons as well as the evidence. The key to learning the ABCs of essay writing is being able to analyze essays penned by any essay writer.

Ask yourself questions and then answer them: Come up with brilliant ideas to write about in your essay or essays—brainstorm is the word. Then choose the best idea and identify it in such a way that you can really write an essay about it—it's difficult to write an essay without a clear thesis.

Outline your essay first before striking that pen. A skilled essay writer usually highlights points to explain what each of his paragraph will have.

Most readers look at the title of an essay first, then either read its entirety or make up their minds, and so it is essential to have a very powerful introduction—it should catch attention, set the mood of your writing and show the way to your thesis. A good essay writer can convey the message to readers as if he or she's in front of them.

A powerful essay introduction must also be accompanied by a strong conclusion. It can be a call to action, twist of logic or a quotation from a notable person. However, all quotations or borrowed ideas should be properly cited or given credit in some parts of your essay.

Lastly, don't forget to proofread your written essay or essays. Give importance to the small details—spelling, punctuations, grammar usage, etc. These little things determine an essay's strengths and weaknesses.

Writing an essay is as easy as inscribing your name on a piece—it doesn't have to be a grueling task nor involve so much trial and error.
