Your Powerful Imagination
It is a common belief that the human brain is somehow empty at birth, and as the child begins to grow and receive stimulus, the neurons start making connections. Science is now discovering, however, that the reverse may be true. The infant is actually born with many more neuron connections than most adults have. It may be that learning does not happen by making neuron connections, but rather by weeding out those that are not used. If this is true, then we are all, literally, born with brilliant minds and we must use it or lose it. In the first weeks of life, most babies will babble every possible sound imaginable. Yet, these children will later lose the ability to create sounds that are not a part of the language they have been trained to speak. Therefore, the child s environment will play a tremendous role in brain development. Scientists claim that in our society the average individual uses only 5 - 10 of the brain s potential. Imagine what your life could be like if you were able to stimulate your mind into...
Stop Fear Now
I m convinced that fear is one of the worst things in life. Think about all of the negative ways that fear affects your life. Think about all of the decisions you make or do not make because of fear in your life. Or think about the risks that you do not take or the relationships you do not pursue because of fear. You would do well to take a good look at the fears in your life and to attempt to tackle them head first until they are no longer fears. In my own life, identifying specific fears was the first step for me to getting over my fears. I took a few hours and made a very long list of the things I was afraid of.

It may seem like a strange task, but just think about the freedom you can live in if you learn to overcome your fears. I was amazed as I wrote at how many things were holding me in fear and affecting my life. One of the fears that was affecting my life...
Sleep Apnea And Snoring
Of all the snoring related physical ailments, arguably the most severe and ironically least understood is a condition called Sleep Apnea. These two words should be emblazoned in the minds of every snorer, and anyone who lives with or cares about the safety and well being of a snorer. The word apnea in the term sleep apnea derives from the Greek term for absence of breathing. That, in a nutshell, gives a sense of how dangerous sleep apnea can be; it literally refers to a condition where breathing stops during sleep. There are two types of sleep apnea: 1 Obstructive Sleep Apnea OSA - This most common form of apnea occurs when throat muscles relax. 2 Central Sleep Apnea - This form of apnea occurs when the brain fails to send proper signals to the muscles that control breathing. Sleep apnea and snoring are directly linked because during snoring the airway of the trachea is constantly subjected to repetitive collapse and obstruction; in fact, it is that collapse and obstruction that leads to the vibration that, ultimately...
