Welcome to your September 2011 MindStore Australia Newsletter
Life is a series of decisions or choices
Book Review Corner -Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill
First published in 1937 during the great depression in the USA and inspired by the great Scottish-American businessman Andrew Carnegie, this book points the way to personal achievement. When Hill died in 1970 it had sold over 20 million copies, currently over 70 million have been sold. ISBN:0-449-91146-2.
I first came across this book when it was recommended as additional reading by Jack Black at the first MindStore course I attended in Glasgow back in 1998. It continues to be recommended at MindStore Courses around the world as additional personal development reading to participants over 13 years later! it’s such a brilliant book I would recommend you source a copy.
Enjoy.

MindStores complete mental tool kit gives you the best techniques for managing stress, maintaining a positive mental attitiude and influencing those around you. We also share tools for increasing creativity and innovation to solve challenges in organisations. These mental tools and techniques are easy to learn on the day and are immediately actionable by participants resulting in instant performance improvement and ongoing increased effectiveness, enthusiasm and energy.
If you are interested in this topic then please drop me an email. This is one of the many topics we cover on our MindStore events either in house for clients or in an open format. We can share with you the tools to use TFT to improve decision making to become more aware of syncronistic events, to raise your frequency levels, via tools for protecting yourself from negativity and in particular negative self talk and thoughts. Also tools for improving your energy, creating positive thoughts and by relaxation exercises. To find out more visit our website: www.mindstoreaustralia.com
=====================================================================
Life, as they say, is a series of decisions or choices. Being in an informed place for making those decisions is clearly the preferred choice for us all.
As we move forward and evolve as human beings one would hope, and indeed trust, that more and more of us would make our decisions and choices from a much more informed and balanced place.
Yet, time and again, we make them based on our prejudices and current thought patterns. Far too many of us do not test out our own views but take them to be facts and act on them.
As the time comes to make decisions for our business and personal lives, making informed choices becomes all the more important. We are probably not ready for it yet but being able to make decisions from a more intuitive place with tools to check for integrity and truth would easily change our world. As an international organisation MindStore works with leaders from all sorts of fields, and we are well aware of the need for them to make critical decisions day upon day. We have now introduced TFT (Thought Field Therapy) on request into our courses, in house client groups or on one to one’s. These extraordinary tools bring everyone to a point of balance free from stress and urgency and therefore the ability to make the correct decisions.
Think about it, it just isn’t good enough anymore for all of us to be rushing around up to our necks in demands and schedules, yet still expect to make good decisions and choices. Many of these directly impact our lives but, more importantly, can in many cases influence the lives of countless others in our organizations and wider industry.
Ancient wisdom tells us to slow down and regularly take time for peace and quiet, not only to manage our stress but for taking time out to find balance and clarity.
Clearly, if we commit to building into our busy schedules time to take stock and relax we will all perform much better. Even just taking time out to actually stop and think is relatively rare in the modern age. I strongly recommend that you find your own way of doing so. Better decisions make for a better life. We make choices, day in, day out, from what we choose to eat and drink right up to who we vote for and everything in between. So make space to really think and make the best decision you can.

August 2011 Newsletter- Synchronicity or just a coincidence?
Last month you will remember was the Health and Wellbeing Issue.
A new feature for our newsletter is a book review, following emails from readers. This month we review a book which sold over 20 million copies from the author James Redfield, The Celestine Prophecy -An Adventure.
As always feel free to forward this to anyone you feel would benefit from reading it.
STOP PRESS: James Redfield was due to arrive in Australia from USA this week to present at the Byron Bay Writers Festival this weekend 5th-7th August, http://www.byronbaywritersfestival.com.au/v2/index.php
I just received a confirmation that he is unable to fly on medical grounds and has unfortunately had to stay at home. We wish him a speedy recovery.
Enjoy and have an Awesome August!

Carl Jung the Swiss psychologist first used this term to explain the coincidence of events that seem related, but are not obviously caused one by the other. Is it coincidence that the two whales breach out of the water at the same time in the image above? Is it a coincidence when you know who is phoning you before you even look at the caller display?
What about when you have a particular challenge at work or personally, and someone contacts you out of the blue, and in your discussion they come up with ideas that you realise will help to solve the challenge, just at the right time.
It’s about becoming more aware, a higher level of awareness, an intuition, gut feeling, whatever you may call it.
These synchronistic events are happening for most people on a daily basis but most of us are so tuned into our problems(Delete that) Challenges, and worried about the past or about the future , that we do not recognise the synchronicities when they appear.
This is partly because of our individual vibrational frequency. Each of us vibrates at a certain level, the more positive and happy the person in outlook the higher the vibration. The negative, unhappy, angry people operate on a lower vibrational frequency.
If you are interested in this topic then please drop me an email. This is one of the many topics we cover on our MindStore events either inhouse for clients or in an open format. We can share with you the tools to become more aware of these syncronistic events, to raise your frequency levels, via tools for protecting yourself from negativity and in particular negative self talk and thoughts.Also tools for improving your energy, creating positive thoughts and by relaxation exercises.

The Celestine Prophecy- An Adventure
First published in 1993 and reprinted many times since. It is available in 34 languages.
The main character of the novel undertakes a journey to find and understand a series of nine spiritual insights contained in an ancient manuscipt in Peru. If you are aware of those chance events that occur at just the right moment, and bring forth just the right individuals, to suddenly send your life in a new and important direction, then you will like this book.ISBN:0-446-51862-X. For more info and other books from James visit: http://www.celestinevision.com/
I first came across this book by coincidence when travelling in Asia in 1995, it was raved about by other backpackers and passed on to each other. Is it a coincidence that peole who went backpacking aorund the world on “a year out” were maybe looking to discover something about their lifes journey and this book was brought to their attention by coincidence? I believe it was Synchronicity which put me amongst people who read this book and encouraged me to read it. It started me on a journey to where I am today. It has been recommended at MindStore Courses as additional personal development reading to participants for over 13 years!
Enjoy.

MindStore Australia’s July 2011 Newsletter- the Health & Wellbeing issue
Who said ”Prevention is better than cure”?
Do you think it still is relevant today in the 21st century in relation to Stress?
Absolutely, more and more people and businesses are turning to the idea that prevention is much better than attempting to provide a cure.
Stress in the workplace is not a new challenge, it has been around since the industrial revolution in the late 18th century.
The opening quote belonged to Desiderius Erasmus the 14th Century philosoper.
And Yes, more than ever in the frantic pace of life in which we operate in our workplace and our personal lives, the quote holds true.
Did you know that we are bombarded with information and that we experience more stimulae in a week from the internet than our Great Great Grandparents did in their ENTIRE LIVES! How stressful is that?
Do you feel you have to respond to emails when they ping on your screen or mobile? Remember the days when the postal mail came in once a day in the morning?
This increasing pace of live is causing Stress for a growing number people. In the workplace OH&S policies are in place to manage the health and safety of the employees, they are more curative than preventative.
So rather than providing a Cure, Why not provide Prevention Solutions?
Contact MindStore today. We can design and deliver a range of inhouse workshops, sessions and events that can be extended to meet your organisations needs to deliver the best solutions for maximising health and wellbeing at the same time as minimising Stress.
How about some mental tools to enable you to focus on the Eustress (good stress- used by professional atheletes) and other mental tools to manage DiStress (bad stress)
We all know and accept that Stress can have a devastating effect on the individuals Physical health including : Fatigue, Burn Out, Depression and succeptability to major health challenges including heart attacks, blood pressure issues and diabeties.
For organisations the effects of Stress are also considerable: high absenteeism, high employee turnover, low productivity and low levels of engagement.

THOSE COMING INTO THE WORLD……
Buddha Born 623B.C. (Birthday celebrated 8th day of 4th month)
- The mind is everything. What you think you become.
- We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure, joy follows like a shadow that never leaves.
- To keep the body in good health is a duty… otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.
Thomas Jefferson (Born 13th April 1743)
- I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.
- Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
- Nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.
THOSE GOING OUT…..
Henry Ford (died 7th April 1947)
- Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.
- When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.
- Whether you think that you can, or that you can’t, you are usually right.
A Final thought inspired by my sons is remember when you go out into the world
to hold hands……….and smile
Have an Awesome April!
Hello Damian, thank you for your efforts on Tuesday. According to my research, you caught the attention of the group and started some thinking that needed to happen. Excellent.
