Visualization is one of the most powerful techniques you can use to achieve success. It is a technique that is used by most of the top achievers in every field Wholesale Nike Cortez Leather , not only to achieve success, but also to solve problems.
Here is a simple four-step visualization technique that you can use to help solve almost any problem:
1. Decide with absolute conviction that a solution to your problem already exists. Your job is to find it.
2. Break the problem down into its component parts. If you prefer, use a separate piece of paper for each segment of your problem or situation, or use your computer as a 'dynamic scratch pad? to jot down everything that comes to mind.
Your goal is to define, as completely as possible Wholesale Nike Cortez Free Shipping , everything that you know about each aspect of the problem.
3. Take a 'mental walk? around your problem. Imagine hanging it from a hook in the center of the room, then walking slowly around it, viewing it from all sides. To help you consider your problem from many different perspectives, try asking yourself some open-ended, thought provoking questions Wholesale Nike Cortez Online , such as:
? How is this situation similar to others I've faced before?
? How would someone else solve this problem?
? What experts could I call upon to help me solve this problem?
? What are some excellent sources of information on this topic or related areas?
? If this problem involves another person, how does he or she view this situation?
4. Review your notes and brainstorm possible solutions. Just as virtually any object appears to be different from various angles, so will your problem or solution.
This four step process will reveal areas where you need more information, as well as potential solutions to part or all of the problem. As you record your thoughts and insights, patterns will begin to emerge.
Follow every lead as far as you can; don't reject any idea at this stage Wholesale Nike Cortez Mens , no matter how ridiculous it may seem initially. As Nobel Prize winning chemist Linus Pauling said: ?The trick to having great ideas is to come up with a lot of ideas, then throw out the bad ones.?
What this unique exercise does is to get you moving. When you get into action, your perspective changes and solutions that may have been hidden from you are now suddenly obvious. Obstacles, when seen in a new light, are often much smaller than they first appeared.
As with most things in life Wholesale Nike Cortez Womens , barriers that once seemed insurmountable often evaporate when they are subjected to rigorous scrutiny by a determined achiever with a positive mental attitude.

Hearing Center: Devices That Can Protect Your Ears Health Articles | February 29, 2012 If you have a job that involves a great deal of noise, you need to consider wearing ear protection. You can get many of these items at a dedicated hearing center near you.
If you have a job or participate in hobbies that involve a great deal of noise, you need to consider wearing ear protection. You can get many of these items at a dedicated hearing center near you Wholesale Nike Cortez Classic , or at any website that specializes in protective equipment. Don't underestimate the amount of volume and noise it takes to ruin your ears. Once sound damage has been done, there is no way to reverse it. It's permanent. A much better idea is to keep your ears protected in the first place. No matter if you're working construction, concert security, or you enjoy shooting guns at a firing range, you need to have something to dampen the sound. Here are some devices that can protect your ears.
Foam Earplugs
These are the cheapest solution to ear protection available Wholesale Nike Cortez Ultra , but they are effective in many situations. You can usually find these at a hearing center or at any drug store or grocery store in your area. Look in the aisle where they keep ear drops and other similar products and that's where they will likely be found. There are several benefits to using foam earplugs. They are small and lightweight, meaning they won't be a hassle to carry around with you at all times. Of course, the downside is that these plugs will block the sounds you want to hear as well, including conversation. Still, they are perfect for situations where blocking out noise is essential.
Ear Muffs
No Wholesale Nike Cortez Shoes , not the kind of earmuffs you wear when it starts snowing outside, but rather a specialized pair of earmuffs designed to dampen volume. Again, a hearing center should carry something of this nature. If not, you may be able to find them at a hardware store or a website dedicated to providing protective work equipment. They look like nothing so much as a pair of quality stereo headphones and they are good for when you need to get out and mow the lawn or blaze up the chainsaw.
Musician Ear Plugs
Are you a concert aficionado? Do you play in a rock band? Then foam earplugs are not going to be ideal. However, if you can get a good pair of musician's earplugs Wholesale Nike Cortez , you'll be set to enjoy the music at the volume you prefer and save your ability to hear. Beyond simply providing protection, many concertgoers don't realize how much of the music they're missing when they go without earplugs. When exposed to that kind of volume, the ear is unable to distinguish between the various instruments and pick out the highs and lows of the music. If you didn't think it was possible that earplugs could actually improve your concert experience, you should definitely give them a try. Article Tags: Hearing Center
