“Surveys show that people fear public speaking more than anything else — even more than they fear death!

“When asked why they fear public speaking, most people say that they fear humiliation, embarrassment or judgment from others.

“In a nutshell, they fear rejection. Why is the fear of humiliation and embarrassment so strong?

“For most of us the idea of speaking in public triggers childhood memories of embarrassing times when we were made fun of and rejected by other kids in school.”

From article Making Public Speaking a Breeze, by Deanne Repich, the Founder of the National Institute of Anxiety and Stress, Inc.

An anxiety educator, teacher, and former anxiety sufferer, she created the Conquer Your Anxiety Success Program, “a simple, action-oriented ‘how-to’ course that has helped thousands across the globe conquer their anxiety.”

She relates her experience:

It took more than fifteen years of suffering for me to understand that my physical symptoms and worried thoughts were anxiety. Before discovering the truth I spent years wondering what was wrong with me.

Here are some of the anxiety symptoms I experienced:

* obsessive thinking * racing heartbeat * trembling

* panic attacks * difficulty breathing * chronic fatigue

* spinning sensations* racing thoughts * negative thoughts

* difficulty concentrating * moodiness * fear of social situations

I’m thrilled to report that I am now anxiety-free and happy to be alive.

You Already Know the Answers - There is No Secret

As you will discover in the Wheel of Life, the truth is there is no “Secret” to life that you need to learn from someone else. All the answers and wisdom you will ever need to live a happy, successful and balanced life are already within you.

All you have to do is awaken the innate intelligence and genius that lies within. That’s what the Wheel of Life is all about.

Much more than just “positive thinking”

The Wheel Of Life is not just about directing your thoughts; it is about what you need to DO to change your life for the better and HOW to do it. The Wheel Of Life offers the keys to restoring balance and achieving a place of peaceful equilibrium.

In a world that is increasingly unbalanced by war, stress, fear, and economic uncertainty, this documentary is a revolutionary new phenomenon that has the power to change the world for the better.

“The most important thing to remember is that repetition and positive emotions are critical to changing the way you think. While it’s possible to do this on your own, most people need a defined program for the direction and support they need to commit to a change.

“Many people find that listening to audio programs is the best way to provide the consistency that’s needed to develop new, healthy, positive thought habits.

“In addition to Positive Affirmations, the best audio programs will incorporate a variety of techniques including guided visualizations, mental imagery, goal-oriented meditation, subliminal programming, whole-brain learning, and more.”

Jeff Griswold, President of Effective Learning Systems, from his article Building Self-Confidence.

“I’ve always had a horrible fear of not achieving… I’ve learned to use [self-doubt and fear of failure], to flip that negative energy around and make it a challenge.

“I keep going because I doubt myself. It drives me to be better. I’ve learned that the mastery of self-doubt is the key to success.”

Will Smith [Parade, July 11, 2004]

Many talented and competent people, even when they have achieved recognition and a list of accomplishments, may experience self-critical thoughts, insecurity and feelings of low self-esteem.

Meryl Streep has said, “I have varying degrees of confidence and self-loathing…. You can have a perfectly horrible day where you doubt your talent… Or that you’re boring and they’re going to find out that you don’t know what you’re doing… any one of those things.” [From my article Being Creative and Self-critical.]

Here is some information about a program to increase your esteem - from the Learning Strategies site:

The Self-Esteem Supercharger helps build an inner confidence, a sense that you are something special, a feeling that you can accomplish anything, a strength that can pull you through. It is a wonderful “feel good” CD — you will feel good when you listen.

If you are sincere about your desire to be all that you can, then this CD will build the foundation for an incredible life.

When you feel down — as every human does now and then — muster an initiative to listen and the whole day will turn around. Customers say they no longer feel lethargic, they quit moping, and they see an eminent bright future.

Customers also find benefit in listening to this CD within a couple hours before an important meeting or a sporting event such as tennis or golf. Some claim to be unbeatable when they listen before their game!

Others have reported personal breakthroughs. You do not have to accept what is dealt to you. With the Self-Esteem Supercharger you build the realization that you have control over your thoughts and feelings, and thus, your life.

Many professional and recreational athletes have found listening to the Self-Esteem Supercharger before a game or match improves their performance.

Professional soccer player Michael Cestone writes, “I had tried subliminal tapes with limited results, so I had to try the Paraliminals because they were different.

“I was desperately looking for something to help me prepare for the season. I noticed results immediately.

“The first time I used the tape I felt more focused and was able to read the game better, as well as make faster decisions. That was only the beginning.

“Skills I had practiced for years suddenly began to emerge, and I was able to completely control the ball in almost any situation. I began to use a broader range of moves I had been practicing, which led to my being more unpredictable to the opposition and thus more successful.”

Jim Rohn reminds us we “can do the most remarkable things, no matter what happens. People can do incredible things, unbelievable things, despite the most impossible or disastrous circumstances.

“Humans can turn weeds into gardens. Humans can turn nothing into something, pennies into fortune, and disaster into success.

“And the reason they can do such remarkable things is because they are remarkable.”

He adds, “Try reaching down inside of yourself; you’ll come up with some more of those remarkable human gifts. They’re there, waiting to be discovered and employed.

“With those gifts, you can change anything for yourself that you wish to change. And I challenge you to do that because you can change.”

Customer review - By C. Rogers “dreamer54321″ (MO) -
“I’m not normally a huge fan of self-help books/tapes. I think Tony Robbins’ material is basically garbage.

“But this guy, Jim Rohn, is an amazing speaker and has a lot to say about personal philosophy. …

“I’d say that what separates him from other motivational speakers is that he lacks the BS that plagues others. He sums it up himself: ‘There are no new fundamentals (beware of someone manufacturing antiques)’.

“Some of this material is hit and miss. … But some of this material really will make you view the world differently. I think the section on personal philosophy is great, “learning to set a better sail”.

“The guys is an energetic speaker, and witty. He does quote the bible occasionally, but does so in a historical (non-spiritual) way, that I find refreshing.”

The Power of Positive Habits program
By Dan Robey

Program author Dan Robey writes in his article Positive Habits, “Think about the habits you have now and how they affect virtually every aspect of your life.

“Your weight and health are determined by your eating habits. Your relationships with people are determined by your social habits. Your success at work is determined by your work habits.”

He writes about the 2 years that he was developing the program, “I researched literally 100’s of medical and scientific studies, journals and books. I interviewed the top Doctors and Scientists at such prestigious institutions as Harvard Medical School, New England Journal of Medicine, The Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Journal of the American Medical Association just to name a few.

“I researched the top books and scientific references on Success, Motivation, Self-Esteem and Relationships. I was in search of valuable information that could easily be “actionized” into a new permanent habit, routine or thought pattern in your life.

This program based on a proven science that few people have even heard of, called ‘Cognitive Re-Structuring.’ A scientific process that is so simple that anyone, even a child can do it, yet it’s effects are ‘Life Changing’ and ‘Permanent.’
