We get 100s of questions about subliminal messaging all the time, and we jsut can’t answer them all, but the other week we received something which resonated with a lot of the queries we get so decided to write a more detailed response. This question came from someone reading our Subliminal Messaging Course, I will print it in full:

If I already set goals and have a lot of drive for success then what good will subliminal messaging for motivation do me?

The part of the free course she quoted was this part:

Subliminal messaging won’t work if you are lazy or want instant fixes to your problems in life without having to do any of the work yourself. However if you’re already driven to succeed and will do anything and everything in your powerto succeed then subliminal messaging can work for you, and it will improve your ability to meet your aims and goals faster!

This was a question I could relate to - once upon a time ago, but since I got into personal development this now seemed so foriegn, and the answer so natural:

There is always room for improvement; if you always seek improvement and personal development then you never need to worry about slipping into old habits, ormaintaning your current level of success.

Always aim to develop yourself and constantly set yourself new and higher goals. If you do this then you will find yourself using a wide range of development tools and “services” - we personally use subliminal messaging - obviously :), hypnosis tapes and cds - Paul McKenna being a personal favourite, nlp techniques, and we are constantly reading a wide range of motivational, confidence building, and general self improvement / self help books…

…I want to improve myself all the time - I generally feel confident most of the time, however, I still read books on developing confidence - we are not robots, there is no limit to our learning and growth potential. We want people to approach subliminal messaging with this type of mindset. Subliminal Messaging is only one in a hundered tools and development products / methods you can use to keep a focus, give yourself the edge and get a boost above the rest.

We want this positivity and outgoing attitude to rub off on people. If you approach subliminal messaging (or anything for that matter) with thoughts like “I really hope this works, I hopethis is my magic pill”, then you are already setting yourself up for failure, and you will be looking for the next miracle cure soon enough, but if you take the approach that “this will help me to keep a focus, it is only one way I will gain an advantage and make progress towards my current aims”, and if you try and keep open, positive, and keen on personal improvement like this then subliminal messaging will help you in life.

Using quality compost has been quoted as the single most important process for a very healthy garden as it is a process that naturally returns all the good nutrients back into the soil. Good compost can be created in the home entirely from natural ingredients from the garden and kitchen. Great ingredients for good compost include bacteria, earthworms, crass cuttings, and fungi. Home made compost is environmentally friendly, reduces waste and overall produces a superb organic and natural soil improver. If you compost at home then you will be amazed to know that 40% of actual household waste is from the kitchen and garden.  Rather than throw this waste away to fill a landfill you can actually develop good compost for use in the garden.
 
Simply by using compost at home you don’t need to put yourself out using fertilisers or soil improvers. Home developed compost made at home is just as good for the soil as industrial compost products. Composting at home can be done in a specially made compost bin or as a compost heap at the bottom of the garden. No matter what method is used it is imperative that air is able to circulate as this is very important when developing your particularly in summer when it is warm and dryer, always agitate the compost just to allow air to circulate. A good compost mix should always have a damp look and if it seems dry you can add a little liquid to keep the mixture moist.
 
You will find all the latest gardening tips and techniques as well as information on the latest gardening products. There is extensive information available on home composting, lawn maintenance and pruning. Whatever your garden requirement, the solution is available through many websites. Whether you are just thinking about starting gardening or a green fingered expert there is always something new to learn about the garden.

A gardens health is very dependant on how you maintain it. The best gardening tips any gardening expert can offer to maintain a healthy garden is the use of quality compost. Good quality composts encourage and nourish the soil to turbo charge its condition ensuring all your plants grow the way you want them to. But garden outdoor experts will also advice that home developed compost is even better to feed your garden as almost 40% of composting materials come from your gardening and kitchen waste.
 
Composting is a natural process of the decomposition of organic materials such as cut grass, twigs and kitchen waste including peelings, egg shells and tea bags. Composting involves a slow breakdown of these materials into a dark, rich and crumbly soil. The resulting product is a substance that will improve your soil and plant growth as it replenishes nutrients and breaks down erosion as well as feeding your plants and discouraging disease to set in. When your compost is ready then you can introduce it to use in the garden, by offering a layer of compost around the base of all your plants you will introduce nutrients deep into the roots. As well as using compost in the soil it can also be mixed with untreated soil as a mixture that can be used in potting plants.
 
Nutritious and quality composts are available in many different types and blends and if obtaining your compost from a retail outlet always check for compost material that is of a dark and crumbly texture and a mild earth fragrance. Although home compost will look different to compost bought from a garden centre it will do the same job.
 
If you are buying your compost then it is advisable to seek advice from your local resources before buying composts and fertilisers. Always follow guidelines when using any commercial product in the garden.

Are you a ’snoozer’ or a ‘rising star’? Because there are two basic personality types where motivation works in two different directions and have far reaching implications for your mental health. At the biological or physical level, everyone has developed both ‘away from’ and ‘toward’ motivation. Away from discomfort, stress, and pain - towards relaxation, comfort, and pleasure. These are different ways to get motivated and both can be used, but in different situations.

One style is usually dominant and one of the personality types emerges. So which are you?

Those who struggle to get up on a morning until they see an image of their manager shouting at them for being late and threatening them has definitely has an “away from” motivation style aka ‘The Snoozer’. This personality type decides the time to take a break is when they are uncomfortable. When choosing friends they are likely to pick friends who do not bother them, and they won’t make a career move until they can no longer stand their present position. They keep away from that which they don’t want!

The rising star jumps out of bed early on a morning and begins working towards their dreams with a passion. This kind of person take breaks when it is beneficial for them. When they choose friends it will be people that stimulate them. They proactively look for the career move to give them the best opportunities for personal growth. So the rising star is more goal-directed and the snoozer is more directed toward identifying and solving problems.

For success, and prosperity, for your career, and your personal goals you can see that being a rising star type personality would be most beneficial. You can give your unconscious mind a big push towards rising stardom with a subliminal motivation CD or MP3 full of music and subsonic positive messages and affirmation. These subliminal messaging cds will bypass your conscious thought processes and move you towards a much better state of mind, the changes won’t happen overnight, but they will simply align your unconscious mind with your conscious goals, and gradually make you more motivated and more likely to be that rising star.
