Are you tolerating Abuse?

Article Overview: Today could be the day you decide NOT TO TAKE IT ANYMORE!

Are you tolerating Abuse?

What are you sick and tired of taking? Are you withholding your thoughts, not speaking up and feeling resentful? Do you have integrity issues that are screaming for your attention? Are you tolerating somebody's belittling remarks only to complain about their behavior to other people? Are people walking all over you and you are letting them? Are you blaming someone else for the unhappiness in your life? Are you tolerating being a victim, being attached to a love that's no longer there, rehashing the past, obsessive thinking, excuses, justification, or getting poor results in your life? Are you allowing people to take advantage of your good nature?

Are you tolerating not having enough love, enough money, enough sex and enough fulfillment? Can you tolerate hearing the wounded part of you tell you one more time that you can't, you won't, you'll never, you shouldn't, or you couldn't if you wanted to? Well, let’s start 2008 to use that anger, that resentment to stop tolerating abuse! You can use that energy to move through it, take some courage and to draw some strong boundaries and say ‘I AM NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE’!

If you are stuck in one of the patterns above then commit to yourself that 2008 is the time you are going to take some action to move forward. Do something to break your pattern of habitual thinking and behaving and move forward! Just imagine how different your life would be if you claimed that power within you and took dramatic action because you are unwilling to tolerate anything but a change…a breakthrough….more peace, happiness and success in your life.

Remember, life is a mirror, so if you are tolerating bad behavior from other people, look inwards to see where you are abusing yourself. Do you criticize and belittle yourself? Do you put yourself down or speak unkind words about yourself? If this is the case, look at how you can stop this self abuse by supporting yourself, speaking lovingly to yourself and encouraging yourself in this change.

Action Step

Write a list today of the things you are not going to take anymore! Then, next to each one, decide what Action you are going to take to clean up this area of your life. Do you need to gain some assertiveness skills? Do you need to practice saying NO? Do you need to get clear on your rights as a human being? (See past newsletter on ‘The Bill of Rights’). Do you need to practice some self love affirmations? Do you need to do some releasing anger work?

Write a date by each one of when you are going to complete the action. Remember, you deserve it and owe it to yourself. Ask yourself each morning…..WHAT WOULD COURAGE HAVE ME DO TODAY?

If you take this action step….your life will be radically different in just a few months!!

Re: Best Internet Marketing Strategy - [quote="jennysmith14":2wxugq3d]Hello Friends.......... Best Internet Marketing Strategy are # Start with a web promotion plan and an effective web design and development strategy. # Get ranked at the top in major search engines, and practice good Search Optimization Techniques. # Learn to use Email Marketing Effectively. # Dominate your marketing niche with affiliate, reseller, and associate programs. # Request an analysis from an Internet marketing coach or Internet marketing consultant. # Build a responsive opt-in email list.[/quote:2wxugq3d] Hi Jenny, All good valid advice here to readers. The one thing I might add for clarification to readers is on point number 4 concerning "dominating" search results. I always like to clarify the importance of dominating for a variety of well researched keyword phrases that ideally target your ideal buying audience. Sometimes people misunderstand and think the objective is too dominate all top 10 spots for the same keyword. The reason this is not wise is that anyone successfully dominating all top 10 spots may actually be reported to Google Abuse because the purpose of a search engine is to display a variety of choices. Competitors can become quite upset with a company who is dominating all top 10 spots for the same phrase. I realize you know this already, but just thought I'd throw it in for anyone new to SEO. A better way to "dominate" is for a variety of very well researched phrases to pull in multiple audiences of readers. Great post Jenny. Thanks
