Why Your Attention Matters: My Money Manifesto # 11

“Charles Haanel wrote, ‘As there is only one Consciousness in the Universe that is able to think it necessarily follows that your consciousness is identical with the Universal Consciousness, or, in other words, all mind is one mind. There is no dodging this conclusion. — The consciousness that focuses in your brain cells is the same consciousness which focuses in the brain cells of every other individual. Each individual is but the individualization of the Universal, the Cosmic Mind. — The Universal Mind is static or potential energy; it simply is; it can manifest only through the individual, and the individual can manifest only through the Universal. They are one. –. The ability of the individual to think is his ability to act on the Universal and bring it into manifestation. Human consciousness consists only in the ability of man to think. Mind in itself is believed to be a subtle form of static energy, from which arises the activities called ‘thought,’ which is the dynamic phase of mind. Mind is static energy, thought is dynamic energy – the two phases of the same thing. Thought is therefore the vibratory force formed by converting static mind into dynamic mind.’

WATCH THIS VIDEO EVEN IF YOU’VE SEEN IT BEFORE

What did you notice from the video?

Charles Haanel continued ‘As the sum of all attributes are contained in the Universal Mind, which is Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent, these attributes must be present at all times in their potential form in every individual. Therefore, when the individual thinks, the thought is compelled by its nature to embody itself in an objectivity or condition which will correspond with its origin. — Every thought therefore is a cause and every condition an effect; for this reason it is absolutely essential that you control your thoughts so as to bring forth only desirable conditions. — All power is from within, and is absolutely under your control; it comes through exact knowledge and by the voluntary exercises of exact principles.’

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

SO why is there evil? Just as in the video there is black and white players. There is day and night, hot and cold, good and not good in the universe. Batteries all have negative and positive poles. Magnets have positive and negative poles. The earth has two poles. There are laws that govern the universe. The planets remain in orbit. Gravity works consistently. Energy can’t be created or destroyed.

It’s consistent. Consciousness allows for choice. Where you put your attention determines what you notice and what you don’t. You can miss opportunity, miss possibility, miss resources and you can’t use power you don’t know you have. Because it is all one, it’s like alphabet soup. If you look for any letter you may find it. If you look for good in the world and yourself, you can find it.

If you look for what’s wrong in the world or yourself, you can find it. You get what you focus on. What you focus on expands. Energy and power flow where your attention goes. If you look for peace and love and promote it, you’ll find and experience more of it. If you look for hurt and hate, you can find it and experience more of that. The choice is yours. You are the deciding factor. You find what you seek.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

‘Every thought therefore is a cause and every condition an effect; for this reason it is absolutely essential that you control your thoughts so as to bring forth only desirable conditions. 32. All power is from within and is absolutely under your control; it comes through exact knowledge and by the voluntary exercises of exact principles.’ Charles Haanel

There is good and not good, negative and positive, light and dark, heat and cold in the universe. What you pay attention to is your experience. Both exist. The law of reverse opposite says for any one thing there is the opposite. For any potential good there’s the potential bad and vice versa. What you want to have more of depends on what YOU do. Who YOU are. Seek good and find and create better.

It is up to you. Every person is a facet of the whole and focuses either on the players in white or the players in black. This is how we create our combined individual experience. We share reality but we emphasize aspects differently. For one person the world is glorious, for another it’s horrible. Attention, what one pays attention to determines what one notices and experiences. If you want it different…

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Then you must stop validating and attending and promoting and perpetuating what you don’t want and start focusing on and attending to and promoting what you do want. Perpetuate what you want. Accentuate the positive. Eliminate the negative. It’s within your power to choose. Choose carefully and wisely. Create what you want. Let go of what you don’t.

Create a wonderful, harmonious life for yourself and for others. Work within, in harmony of head and heart. Work in harmony with others. Cooperate and collaborate. Give up resistance. Let go of divisiveness and discover a new way to be, do and have. Get better results and create the life you want. Celebrate everything! Rex Sikes

How You Make The Changes You Want: My Money Manifesto # 5

“Your subconscious is the mechanism by which your most important, authentic purpose is manifested. It can and will do it. That’s what it does. That’s why you manifest good, and you manifest crap. Because it’s capable of doing either. It doesn’t evaluate or judge which is which. It just does what it does based on the high signal value it receives from you consciously. You get what you focus on.

Get clear on your purpose and it will work to deliver that for you. Remain befuddled and you’ll continue to get befuddled results. Clarity and white-hot passion matter. Being specific and feeling intensely about what you want to create is the secret. See and feel and speak what you want clearly. Express all the incredible feelings you’d have if that became your reality. Live as if you already are it.

In ‘Life On Your Terms’ I share that Muhammed Ali, one of the world’s greatest boxers, hated to train BUT he knew that to be a world champion he must train. So, he trained even when he didn’t feel like it. This is so important. The feeling of being the best was more important than the feeling of not training. Instead of giving into the ‘not training feelings’ he intensified the feelings of his purpose.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Most people don’t have what they want because they let other things interfere. They’re lazy, they prefer the couch, they don’t want to pay for it, they are distracted, they’ve excuses. They don’t get what they want because they aren’t committed to what they want. They let other things, other people, other circumstances, other desires, distractions, keep them from what they want most.

Their inner authentic desire is hidden and put on a back burner with a low flame. It’s delayed. It takes longer. If you really want it, you must release and forgo the distractions and excuses. Get it? Consciously, you may doubt, fear, waffle, backslide and misstep BUT your subconscious doesn’t. It is a delivery mechanic. It is a servant. WHAT you want most it will deliver to you. It SERVES you!

It uses the least energy, the least effort or struggle and the easiest and most natural means for you to get what you want. It works according to natural laws. It is not magical. You don’t wave a wand and a car appears in your driveway. You get the car how you would naturally in the world. You could pay for it, it could be left to you, it could be a gift, you could win it, but it comes by normal means.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

YOUR subconscious is ALWAYS successful. ALWAYS! That IS why you have what you currently have instead of what you claim you want. You are getting what’s important to you. It is successful giving you the crap you don’t want, because that’s what your attention is on most frequently and you feel strongly bad about it. It gives you more of the same because that’s your focus.

You’re already getting what you desire most and it’s not your most cherished and valued desire! You’re getting the distractions, the doubts, fears and frustrations that occupy your attention. You’re getting the negative you entertain instead of rejecting it. You’re creating your current conditions by what you allow to rent space in your head and the feelings that accompany that. Understand?

Those feelings are driving everything. You must learn to shift away from focusing on what you don’t want and exclusively focus on what you do want AS IF YOU ALREADY HAVE IT! Otherwise, you create more wanting not more having. You must learn to control your emotions to maximize their effectiveness. Suppressing emotions is not healthy. You’re an emotional being. Express yourself!

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Full expression is what life is about. Society seeks to contain us. Live free. Your feelings and emotions are energy and vibrations. They should be positive, strong and healthy. They should be a strong electrical current, not a weak one. It should be a roaring fire within, a white-hot obsession, not a weak tiny fire. Get this. Your subconscious responds to the highest, strongest signals you feed it.

Feel your best most often. Live fully. Live passionately. Pursue your purpose with passion. Napoleon Hill said to turn the desire you have into a passionate white-hot obsession. All positive change begins with strong desire. Weak desire is like that little flame. Concentrate your energy, your attention and your power on your purpose, instead of letting it get dissipated by distractions. More next time. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

“Pondering the purchase?………….DO IT! I have been a follower of Rex’s material for 7 years. I started roughly 25 years ago interested in NLP and Hypnosis for my own personal self-improvement. I bought seminar recordings, books, attended seminars, and as I look back those times when I was doing it, they are some of the most wonderful times of my life. I started a business I dreamed of, I got married, we had kids, I started a new job, I got divorced, my job become mind numbing, and I realized I had become complacent. My mind would ruminate more than it would just DO.

I bought the book and by chapter 3 I had read “DO IT” with so many vital explanations of how motivation works, I went to the store and started compiling my own book. You know, the one I had been ruminating about for 9 months. I handed Rex’s book to my girlfriend to read, I ordered another book (I anticipate another 2 purchases), and I am writing this review early, but it is so good.

How To Supercharge Your Manifesting: Stop This And Do This Instead

“If you want to live in more abundance, improve your cash flow, create and sustain loving relationships, enjoy more leisure time with family and friends, stop struggling and working so hard, overcome hardship, problems, frustration, sadness, depression, loneliness and anger; if you want to live the life of your dreams then you must stop listening to the wrong people and doing wrong things.

So many modern-day gurus got it wrong! They have you chasing dreams, struggling, working hard to change your circumstances, to overcome hardship and defeat and to wage battle against all that holds you back. Change the people, the events, the circumstances, work hard, sacrifice, risk and all will be well. Give up family, your leisure and your friends and pursue your goals to the utmost.

That may work but that’s not the path of least resistance but the path of most resistance. The universe works by the Laws of Conservation or energy and Least Effort. It does the minimum required to make the maximum change. We must adhere to, follow and apply the laws. The Law of Vibration is about positive frequency and intensity. It’s about how you live your daily life. What you do daily.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Working extra hard and giving up an enjoyable life for decades can work but what’s the trade-off? Plenty of people die with regrets and those regrets never are they should have sacrificed more and worked harder. They never say, ‘if I only owned another car or house.’ They regret missing out on life, missing their family and kids grow up. They regret not becoming who they could become. Get it.

There are plenty of truly sad and pathetic rich people who have everything except what matters. There are plenty of very poor people who have nothing but they’re abundantly joyful and grateful for the little they have. It isn’t what you do or have that matters. It’s who you are. It’s who you become on the journey. Who YOU are determines what you’ll do and what you get to have. YOU do it.

So, stop getting bogged down. Stop chasing dreams and fighting with your circumstances. Discover that when you become a person for whom manifesting IS easy everything else becomes easy too. It is BE IT, then from being it you DO IT and from right actions the results are you HAVE IT. It IS not, do it to have it to be it. Get this. Your thoughts determine who you are. What you think you become.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Who you are, what you think, your beliefs and attitudes matter most! What you feel matters. What you say and do matters. Where you put your attention is where your energy and power go to. What you focus on is what you get. Thoughts become things. You must understand you are the cause. Circumstances are the effect. From within to without. Change the cause to change the effect.

Here’s what Charles Haanel had to say, ‘You will at once see that this is a radically new and different idea; most men try to change effects by working with effects. They fail to see that this is simply changing one form of distress for another. To remove discord, we must remove the cause, and this cause can be found only in the world within.’ Stop trying to change circumstances. Change yourself!

Change yourself and you can and will transform your circumstances. Stop wasting time, energy, effort and money to change the outer world. First change your inner world. Become the kind of person for whom manifesting is easy. It begins with your attitude and outlook. You look out at the world from within your attitude, beliefs, values and thoughts. You see from the inside out. It’s called OUTlook!

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Change your outlook and everything changes. It’s why attitude is the number one predictor for success in all areas of your life. Get this and everything can be different and far more wonderful. Yes, you can have great prosperity. You can have wonderful family, friends and romantic relationships. You can enjoy a life of abundance in all areas of your business and personal life.

You can have money and enjoy all of it with gratitude and love when you first seek to be your authentic self, love, respect and appreciate yourself and others. ‘Be not conformed to the world. Be transformed by the renewing of the mind.’ Realize who you are and the power that comes from within and you can shape and mold the outer to your liking. Fill yourself with love and gratitude.

If you don’t, you get what you already are within. You get your worries, concerns, struggles and fears. Instead transform YOURSELF. Who are you? How’s your vibe? Change that and you change everything! That’s why attitude matters so much. It is your vibe. It is who you predominantly think and feel you are. Activate your attitude and you transform. Try to change the outer and suffer.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

The Law of Attraction is really about the Law of Vibration. Your energy, who you are, your vibration determines what you manifest and attract. You are already manifesting whether it’s good or not-so-good. Manifestation of abundance, prosperity, love, peace, family, friends, money, relationships is up to you. Be an agent of positive manifestation by becoming that kind of person. Live it. You’ll have it.

The Universal Laws are always working. You’re either working in harmony with them or you’re out of sync. Being in harmony means attracting and creating the positive good you desire. Out of sync means you attract by default all manner of discord and distraction because you aren’t focused on creating and attracting good. Abundance is already yours. Align with it. That’s how attraction works.

FIRST BE IT and you’ll do what is necessary naturally to create, attract and have it. You’ll get there results you desire when you first become it. BE, Do, Have! When you can celebrate everything, life becomes so much more wonderful. Why? Because you find good in all of it, Get it? Learn how to do it. THIS IS the way it works. Work in harmony with the Laws of the Universe.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

You develop the positive attitude, the mindset and the beliefs to become it. From being that high-vibration positive person is how you make the Law of Attraction work the way you’d like it to. It IS how you transform the most, travel the farthest, make the most headway, in the easiest, swiftest and the most enjoyable way. The journey matters the most. Become it and life transforms incredibly. Try to change circumstances and you will endlessly struggle. Within to without. As above, so below. Make every moment magical, memorable, miraculous and magnificent BECAUSE you can. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

How To Supercharge Your Manifesting # 7

“Manifesting is all about attitude. To succeed in life and in manifesting a can-do, will-do, believe in yourself attitude. Attitude is everything. Take all the steps I’ve been sharing to develop a positive, happy, winning, champion attitude because it’s your attitude that sees you from darkness to light and from lack to abundance. It all originates from you. You are the originator of your reality.

Without a powerful optimistic, positive, hopeful, determined attitude little is possible. It is from within to without and without the right attitude you won’t persist. attitude is everything. People dismiss attitude thinking it’s a minor thing, but it is a major thing. It is your mood, your vibe. It’s everything. Your attitude determines your outlook. It’s how you feel.

Do you feel abundant, successful, happy, confident, peaceful? It’s the combination of your thoughts, beliefs and feelings. It’s the overall determining factor in whether you feel like you can and will do something or not. It’s the difference that makes the difference! Ford said, ‘whether you think you can or can’t, you are correct.’ Whether you feel you can or you can’t makes the difference.

DEVELOP THE POSITIVE ATTITUDE, MINDSET AND BELIEFS TO TRANSFORM YOURSELF

Attitude is your predominant mood. Your predominant mindset. It determines how you think, feel, speak and behave. There is no substitute for a powerful, positive, optimistic attitude. If you understand this you also understand the statement, ‘if it’s to be, it’s up to me.’ You are a creator, attractor and manifestor already. Your attitude determines whether you create gold or crap, success or failure.

Realize this. Truly, get it! Develop and activate your attitude positively and life transforms wonderfully. You’ll delight in the good times, and it will see you through the tough times. All the steps I have been sharing help you to develop a winning, champion attitude. It’s okay to reach out if you want more help. I have it for you. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

How To Successfully Program Your Subconscious!

“What you see and say is what you get. What you say is what you can see. Keep this in mind. What you say is your description of aspects of your internal pictures and experience. It’s what you are aware of. Just as a road map deletes a lot of the ‘real world’ because it is a map of that world, your conscious description leaves things out that are there too. There, but you’re unaware of it. You don’t know it.

What you describe IS what you are aware of. That’s why what you say you reinforce. You magnify. What you say is what you get. What you believe is what you see and speak. Therefore, what you believe is or isn’t possible, is true for you. You can’t see what you don’t already imagine. Believing is seeing. However, we think that if you see it first, then you can believe it. It just doesn’t work this way.

It works the other way around. It’s like being unable to see your keys or glasses on the table. They’re right in front of you but you delete them. If you delete it, it’s not there for you. PLUS, The mind can’t entertain a negative. It deletes the negative word. I won’t eat sugar is understood unconsciously as I eat sugar. ‘Don’t forget,’ means forget. To some extent you can consciously override this.

You understand ‘don’t forget’ as to remember. Sometimes, you will and sometimes you forget. If you say, don’t eat sugar, understand what this means to the brain. It must imagine sugar. Then you must think, not to do it. It’s a long and least effective process. Instead of saying you won’t eat something, say only what you will eat. I eat healthy vegetables and fruits. The brain pictures those.

SPEAK only what you want! SAY only what you intend for your life to be. That’s programming. Speak ONLY to bless, edify, heal, inspire, prosper, transform and uplift. Stop complaining, commiserating and blaming and speaking what you don’t want and won’t do. Speak ONLY what you do want, can and will do. Be intentional not haphazard. Promote what you want and eliminate reinforcing what you don’t want. Speak it into existence. That’s programming. What you focus on expands. Power and energy flow where your attention goes. Get this! AND celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Two Forms Of Matter Can’t Occupy The Same Space

“‘… think of your life as a crowded pantry shelf. To make room for anything else you would have to remove from that shelf something you wanted less,’ is another favorite Elsie Benedict quote. She adds, the Law of Compensation states, ‘if you want something you haven’t got, merely take off the shelf something you already have, and make room for the newer and better and more desired thing.’

Well, it’s true. Two forms of matter cannot occupy the same space. If your ‘pantry shelf’ is littered with doubt, fear, confusion, chaos, frustration, debt, anger, worry, sadness, looniness or something else to make room for the new desires you must remove these. It means you must be willing to let go of and release any attachment to your old way of being so you can begin to live the new way. Let it go.

You don’t have to fight or force the unwanted things to go away, you simply stop giving them energy. You refuse to let them occupy space inside you. You stop feeding the weeds. If you remove the life energy from them, they will wither away on their own. Your job is to nurture the good you desire. Feed the flowers. In letting go of the things you fight and don’t want; you make room for the better things.

Replace fear with courage. Replace sadness with joy. Replay doubt with certainty. Replace laziness with action. Replace negativity with positivity. Replace worry with optimism. Replace hate with love. Get it? Replace indecision with decisiveness. Make room for the good you want in your life. ‘If it is to be, it is up to me.’ Create positive space within. Nurture and encourage goodness.

Appreciate and feel grateful for all. Life is a gift. The ability to become aware of what prevents you and release it is a gift. It will come through discomfort. When the shoe fits you don’t notice it, but when it is too tight, and blisters form you do. It is through the discomfort and challenges our opportunities present themselves. Our troubles are gifts to become conscious, aware, awake and to transform. Be grateful for this and grateful for all. Get it? Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Want Your Life To Be Amazingly Wonderful?

“The more intense your good feelings are, the more swiftly you bring about positive change. There’s great power in living optimistically and vibrantly! Make yourself feel a little bit better each day. Whenever you notice you’re not feeling great, do something positive to feel better. Take a break, take a walk, get some exercise or some rest. Read something inspirational or chant your affirmations.

Chant them firmly enthusiastically! Hang around positive people. Smile more! Wake up the positive physical energy in your body by moving your body more. Dance, shake, skip, twirl, jump. Wake yourself up. The more energy you awaken the more there is to awaken. Use your mind in positive ways. The more energy you put into it the more you get from it. Feel vibrant and alive.

There’s more energy in an empty inch of space than in all the world’s power sources. There’ plenty to go around. Energy flows where your attention goes! You are alive! All your trillions of cells are alive and vibrating. You have more than sufficient energy, but you may not be using it. Too many people feel only okay. They robotically move from day to day. They don’t choose to awaken and enjoy life fully.

They do the same routines, accepting that this is how it is and don’t have much to look forward to. Others do the same routines, THE SAME ROUTINES as the others, but they feel alive, delighted and fulfilled. Those others put all their hope in things outside themselves to rescue them. They live as victims. Those who live fully and completely know it comes from within. From within to without.

You can live as victors by awakening the energy within you. Your positive thoughts are extra powerful when combined with the most intense positive good feelings! The more intense the feelings, the easier the subconscious mind gets the message. It reproduces more of the goodness we give to it through powerful feelings. You will live feeling delighted and fulfilled by living with appreciation and gratitude. Feel thankfulness, joy and love. You may be surprised with how incredible everything becomes when you truly celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Shocking Research: I’m Not Kidding, READ THIS!

Shocking studies demonstrate the power of your mind! Read the blog and the research:

“I’ve been arguing for the conscious application of the placebo effect for 40 years. I’ve been mocked in books and articles for suggesting you can use the power of your mind to make positive changes in your health, happiness, wealth and success. Attitude is everything. What you expect to happen opens the door for that very expectation to manifest. What you think about, you bring about. GET THIS!

It’s why I have written a daily blog for more than 10 years. It’s why I created the Attitude Activator™, Mind Design™ and other programs. You and I need to understand the incredible, usually untapped potential of our mindset which is our beliefs, our attitudes, our expectations. Whether you think you can or you think you can’t, you are correct. You must develop a winner’s attitude to win. GET THIS!

Thinking makes it so. Believing makes it so. I’m not talking about fantasy thinking like wishing for an elephant to appear in your room. I’m talking about all those things within the laws of nature that you are capable of. People have done incredible things in moments of crisis because they tap into these inner reserves. People heal, become wealthy, attract love and live happier lives when they expect to.

I am sharing a few studies which demonstrate how powerful your mind, your attitude, your beliefs, your expectations, your thoughts are. Pay attention. I hope I convince you to do every positive thing you can to develop a positive, powerful, optimistic healthy attitude. Take charge of your thinking and you take charge of your life. Change your thinking and you can transform your life! GET THIS!

I’ll show you more and share more in upcoming blogs. If you’d like to learn more in the meantime get Life On Your Terms: Create The Life You Want. There are so many important studies, findings and applications for you to discover and use to create the health, wellbeing, wealth and success you want. As I’ve pointed out for more than 40 years we’ve great power to learn to use purposefully.

When I began this work more than 40 years ago there were handful of studies. Doctors routinely dismissed the Placebo Effect. Today, there’s more than 45,000 studies on the Placebo/Nocebo effect, the power of attitude and beliefs, visualization and creating wellness in your mind. Studies regarding weight lifting, piano playing and more. I discuss in my book. We’ve come a long way.

I can’t emphasize enough how important your attitude towards yourself, others and life is. What you think about you bring about. What you focus on expands. There are many examples of Nocebo Effects, or unwanted, undesirable effects occurring from negative attitudes, expectations and thoughts. There are many examples of positive effects by maintaining a positive, optimistic attitude. Understand this.

There’s no substitute for developing a healthy, positive attitude because the alternative sucks! I hope this speaks to your heart and mind and you make a deliberate choice to take charge of your life, health, wealth, love, happiness and success by developing an unstoppable, unwavering, positive belief in yourself and the goodness from within and all around you. Celebrate everything and everything changes. GET THIS. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

ABSTRACT:
We describe an individual who experienced unusual negative effects while taking a placebo during a clinical drug trial. A 26-year-old male took 29 inert capsules, believing he was overdosing on an antidepressant. Subsequently, he experienced hypotension requiring intravenous fluids to maintain an adequate blood pressure until the true nature of the capsules was revealed. The adverse symptoms then rapidly abated. The nocebo effect (undesirable symptoms following administration of an inert substance that the patient believes to be an active drug) may have significant negative impacts on certain patients. Further research is warranted to better understand this phenomenon.

Nocebo in fibromyalgia: meta-analysis of placebo-controlled clinical trials and implications for practice

PMID: 21973313

DOI: 10.1111/j.1468-1331.2011.03528.x

ABSTRACT:

Background: Nocebo refers to adverse effects (AEs) generated by negative expectations that medical treatment will likely harm instead of heal and can be assessed in placebo-controlled randomized clinical trials (RCTs). We examined AEs following placebo administration in RCTs for fibromyalgia (FM), a condition characterized by patients’ poor medication adherence, which may affect outcome and/or increase healthcare costs.

Methods: Following a systematic Medline search for RCTs for FM pharmacologic treatment published between 2001 and 2010, we assessed percentages of placebo-treated patients reporting at least one AE or discontinuing because of placebo intolerance and searched for factors influencing nocebo’s extent. Percentages were compared with those revealed by similar meta-analyses of RCTs for multiple sclerosis and primary headaches.

Results: Data were extracted from 16 RCTs fulfilling search criteria. Of 2026 placebo-treated patients, 67.2% (95%CI: 51.0-81.5%) reported at least one AE, and 9.5% (95%CI: 8.3-10.9%) discontinued placebo treatment because of intolerance. AEs in placebo arms corresponded quantitatively and qualitatively to those in active drug arms (ρ > 0.88, P < 0.0001). Younger age and larger placebo arm size were associated with increased dropout rates. Patients with depression were more likely to withdraw from trials. Nocebo dropouts in FM trials were fourfold and twofold higher than in RCTs for multiple sclerosis treatment and migraine preventive treatment, respectively.

Conclusions: Nocebo is remarkably prevalent in FM patients participating in RCTs. Because nocebo contributes to drug intolerance and treatment failure in clinical practice, identification of predisposing factors and efforts to prevent nocebo by educating these patients appropriately may be important for FM outcome.

What’s the Placebo Effect?

The placebo effect suggests your mind can be as powerful in some cases as the treatment itself.

It might be easy to shrug your shoulders whenever you hear someone say “it’s all about mind over matter,” but sometimes, especially with medical research, that’s literally the case. The mind can be a powerful thing that helps your body heal through times of stress and duress, and in some cases, it can be powerful enough to cause what’s known as the placebo effect….

‘The effects of positive expectancy in a study of 152 cancer patients at Travis Air Force Base, the major Air Force medical facility on the West Coast. Five staff members rated the patients on their attitude toward treatment and evaluated their responses to treatment over the next eighteen months. The results were clear: those patients with positive attitudes had better responses to treatment; those with negative attitudes had poorer responses. In fact, of the 152 patients only two who had shown a negative attitude had a good response to treatment. The most significant finding of the study was that a positive attitude toward treatment was a better predictor of response to treatment than was the severity of the disease. That is, patients who had very serious prognoses but positive attitudes did better than patients who had relatively less serious prognoses but negative attitudes. In addition, patients who began to view their treatments positively often reported reduced side effects.’ …

Are You Devoted To Your Happiness And Success?

“The amount of time one spends devoted to their personal happiness and their personal and professional goals makes a difference in how easily attainable these are. How you spend your time IS important. A plant is either growing or dying. It is either feeding or starving. Are you feeding and growing or starving and dying? Evaluate this each moment of each day.

How you spend your time is important! How much time you devote to your goal and how good you feel while spending that time are the two critical ingredients. Now for the second important factor that determines the ease with which you manifest and live your life.

2. Intensity

Intensity is the kicker that makes it all work better, easier and faster. Intensity is the lynchpin. Intensity is what supercharges your thoughts and your actions. Intensity IS the difference that makes the difference. As Napoleon Hill says, a little fire produces little heat. A big fire produces big heat. magnifying focuses the sun’s rays to burn paper that otherwise can sit in the sun unaffected.

What to do? FEEL GOOD RIGHT NOW! Feel as good as you can for as much time as you can. Spend your days living in gratitude, enthusiasm, optimism, fascination and joy. Live with delight and passion. Enjoy the best feelings you have. Feel good right now in your present. Your feelings are your vibrations. Vibe the highest frequency with the most wonderful intensity. This alone will transform your life.

The more time you spend feeling good the quicker you can accomplish your goals and make your dreams come true. The more time you feel good the more time you WILL be able to feel good. You get back great returns on your investment when you think and feel positive most of your time. Fill your mind with positive, optimistic, grateful thoughts and you’ll feel better. Think and grow happy.

When you feel great and you are passionate and enthused, when you are eager and are filled with energy, you think clearer and can keep going longer. Your intense feelings make you powerful. Feeling intensely good in the present moment makes everything work better! Everything works together more smoothly when you are feeling this way because your nervous system works better.

Negativity and stress take its toll on your health and wellbeing. It robs you of your energy. Everything is constricted. You don’t think as well, feel as well or act as well. Your immune system gets depressed. But live with joy, gratitude, enthusiasm and you promote wellbeing, health and extra ability. It works! Some people may think, ‘Well, if I could feel good I would.’ You need to take charge.

You’ll never think and feel your best if you expect the outer world to make you happy or better. It doesn’t work that way. That only provides a temporary relief. Events and circumstances you celebrate pass. BUT when you make feeling wonderful a habit it is reliable and long lasting. It becomes your way of life. It’s reliable. It then works automatically as all habits do. It becomes second nature.

The way to feel better IS to take control, even when you don’t feel like it, and control your thoughts and feelings. Learn to do the things that make you feel better. A few things that help in this are to eat right, sleep right and get enough exercise. Eliminate chemicals and additives. Sit, stand and move with more energy. Get a massage. Many suggestions are in my previous blog posts and my book.

This is WHY we fill our mind with positive thoughts. It’s why we read and listen to inspiring materials. It IS why we visualize our goals as completed and feel the feelings of that accomplishment. It is why we monitor our self-talk to ensure it is positive. It’s why we affirm out loud and passionately. It’s not possible to feel ecstasy or joy all the time but you can spend more time feeling these.

Your default setting can be far more positive, optimistic, joyful and grateful than yours is right now. Making this a habit helps you feel your best more of the time and even during times of difficulty. Whenever you’ re feeling less-than-glorious you can make yourself feel just a little bit better. This works! Nudge yourself in the direction of feeling good. Encourage it. DO it.

You’ll discover so many positive changes it will astound you. Why? Because It’s a system of self-management available to use that few ever discover. You now know about it. It’s time to learn how to do it. Put yourself in the driver’s seat 100% and take responsibility for whatever happens good or bad. Take responsibility for managing your thoughts and feelings.

Steer yourself in the most positive direction. You don’t have to try to leap from sadness to ecstasy, that may be too big of a jump. Just make yourself feel a little bit better. That starts you on the path to overall well-being. Step by step. You do not have to do it all at once or even in one day. In time you’ll learn how to feel your best.

Celebrate everything life offers. Good or not-so-good. Learn to appreciate the gift of life you have and find what you can and are thankful and grateful for and emphasize it. Focus on it. Dwell on the good. The longer you feel better the better you feel. The more you move yourself to feel better when you are, not the easier it becomes. The more you appreciate all of it the more you transform. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Can You Imagine A Day When…?

“Can you imagine, do you imagine, a day when war becomes obsolete? If we can’t imagine this, it is not likely to happen. Consider this: IN school, someone bullies and beats up a kid. What happens? Typically, the kid has friends or family that go after the bully. The bully gets beat up. What happens? His friends and family come for revenge. This goes on and on and on and on.

The only way to stop it is to not engage in it. Do not succumb to violence or returning violence. It only escalates. Bullies think it won’t. They think they will prevail, and they may for a while but typically all bullies meet worse bullies or those counteracting the original hurt and harm. HOW about imagining new ways to get along instead of old ways to do harm?

‘Imagination is more important than knowledge.’ said Einstein and he is not the only one. How about we do as John Lennon asked and ‘give peace a chance’ do you think we can. If not, what are you advocating instead? We can only go where our mind takes us. Whether an individual mind or a group mind. If it is to be it is up to me, is the saying OR if it is to come true, it is up to you.

Let’s find ways to create harmony and friendship to create a better world instead of pulling it apart. Hurting each other doesn’t help, it only hurts all. Yes, it may require forgiveness and sometime but if we don’t attempt it we are doomed to repeat. Let’s break the cycle by doing something productive, positive and new. If you always do what you always did, you’ll always get what you always got.

Don’t you think it’s time for a change? ‘Be the change you want to see in the world,’ said Gandhi. He led a peaceful movement and brought the British empire to its knees with passive resistance. Others have attempted the same. It seems most have met with violence. That doesn’t mean they always will, but it is possible. Good and bad exist the same as day and night. They both are part of life and cycles.

For us to evolve we need to grow up. We need to evolve our consciousness to the point violence is not the solution. It means changing our rhetoric, our metaphors, analogies and allegories. Maybe we don’t need to declare war on things we don’t like. Maybe if we become less violent others will too? It is possible, but not unless you believe it is possible. What you consider impossible keeps it the same.

You can light a million candles off one candle if yours is lit first. People model each other and learn from role models. We tend to copy each other. How about we hold out for love, peace, compassion, kindness, understanding, acceptance, harmony and helping each other instead of the alternatives. Hold out for good and positivity by becoming the examples others may follow. Eventually, the movement will grow and take hold. If we don’t attempt it, surely it won’t happen. Are you in? I hope so. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
