I need to basically move across the country, and when I realized that this job offer was finalized, I almost had a panic attack, because I didn't know how I would best transport my collection of <strong>remote control helicopters</strong>.<br /> <br /> What ended up happening was a great story that I love to tell other helicopter enthusiasts or even other potential helicopter enthusiasts. Anyway, I called a few of my friends in the area, who are also <em>remote control helicopter enthusiasts</em>. Although none of them lived anywhere near Gaithersburg, MD, they were all ready and willing to help me in my move. They showed up a week in advance and helped me pack up my collection of about 7549 remote control helicopters, which ended up being a painstaking amount of wrapping, checking, and rewrapping of each helicopter and then placing them into a box and making sure that they won't bump against each other or break during transport. I had to make sure that when I arrived in Gaithersburg, MD that my helicopters would still be intact, because I had a competition in the near future, and I didn't want to lose even one of the helicopters in my large collection.<br /> <br /> Luckily, my friends were extremely careful and considerate and made sure that they packaged each one carefully and when I finally arrived in Gaitherburg, by car, they were there to help with unloading as well. I just couldn't believe that they took the time and the money for me. I never realized how helpful other helicopter enthusiasts could be, and I'll never forget how wonderful they were during my move to my new job in Gaithersburg.<br /> <br /> I am really now excited about my new job, and now that I've begun I am really thinking that this is the job for me, and someday when I find that someone else has to make a large move and they are worried about what they'll do about packing up their own remote control helicopter collection, I will be right there to help them out. I am so happy that the helicopter enthusiasts in my community have such a "pay it forward" attitude, and I know that someday if I ever need them again, they'll still be there for me. This is also something to consider when you purchase a <span style="text-decoration:underline;">remote control helicopter</span>--are the people in the area going to be available to fly it with you? Because it's often the most rewarding experience to teach someone else how to really master the flight of a helicopter, and without someone else there, you don't get the same enjoyment out of flying.<br /> <br /> Of course, if you're the kind of person that really likes solitude, then maybe you would actually prefer to purchase you remote control helicopter in an area where there is a dearth of other helicopter enthusiasts, but these people are rare in the helicopter community. Believe me, I know a lot of them!<br /> <br /></div><div style="text-align:left;width:550px;"></div><div style="text-align:left;width:550px;">Timothy Eller</div><div style="text-align:left;width:550px;"></div><div style="text-align:left;width:550px;"><div style="margin:5px 0px 0px;"><hr /><a href="http://skadoogle.com/sp%2127533/cqp145743"><img src="http://ocmnet.com/tn/cqp145743.jpg" style="float:left;margin-right:5px;" border="1" width="160" alt="cqp145743.jpg" /></a> <b><a href="http://skadoogle.com/sp%2127533/cqp145743" target="_blank" class="cbcat" style="font-family:verdana, arial;font-size:12px;">An Expat’s Guide to First World Health Care in Latin America</a></b><br /><font class="f10">An Expat's Guide to First World Health Care in Latin Americ...

Once you gain control over the thoughts you think, your sense of injustice will subside and will be replaced with the exuberance for life and the zest to create that you were born with. Let everything in the Universe be an example to you of the way the Laws of the Universe work.<br />---Abraham<br />Excerpted from the workshop: Money and the Law of Attraction on August 31, 2008<br />Our Love,<br />Esther (and Abraham and Jerry)</p><p><br />Now let me simplify this using my perspective and what is flowing from within.</p><p>Thoughts are received all day long, TV, radio, social media, co-workers and yes, this blog. Thoughts are “opinions" that are being shared by others through their perspectives on different subjects. Yes, I said perspective because what you believe to be true in a situation is not necessarily the truth. It is to you, but not necessarily the truth.</p><p>So thoughts are always around us and our incredible recorder/file cabinet/computer (our brain) absorbs and stores everything. We have material that we do and don’t believe - backed up (stored) on our computer drive. That is why I don’t believe that we control thoughts.</p><p>With that said, what I do believe and I also believe is being shared is that we do "control what we do with those thoughts.”</p><p>We have to ask, “Is this story (thoughts) moving me where I want to go or away from my desires?”</p><p>See the difference between animals and people is the ability to “pause” (Stop, think and then react). Unfortunately, most are spending their life like animals. They live in a “stimulus” (something happens), “response" (just take action) world.</p><p>This pause ability is the “control” we have over our story (thoughts).</p><p>Once you understand this concept, your sense of injustice or “victim mentality” goes away. You become excited about life because you know that you are in charge of your experience (journey). This excitement was what you were born with.</p><p>I believe this is what is meant by "renewing of your mind”, "being born again”, “getting out of this world”, "being childlike”, etc.</p><p>You have to go inside of you, connect with your source and present the gifts and talents you were given at birth and share them with the world.</p><p>So let everything in the Universe show you (be an example) that what you put out (vibration from your thoughts), you attract more of it. Understanding how these laws “work” and using them to your advantage - will create an incredible ride.</p><p>It ain’t right. It ain’t wrong. It’s my opinion.</p><p>Your Uplifting Life Partner<br />Ron Simplified Myers</p></div>How to Control Your Mental Statehttps://syndicationexpress.ning.com/profiles/blogs/how-to-control-your-mental-state2014-06-02T16:00:00.000Z2014-06-02T16:00:00.000ZSusan Bostonhttps://syndicationexpress.ning.com/members/SusanBoston<div><h1 style="text-align:center;">How to Control Your Mental State</h1><p>How to control your mental state is not easy for us as humans.

When this happens the physical self will follow willingly.</p><p style="text-align:left;">You cannot move anything on your body without your mind telling you to do so if your mind isn't working you are catatonic.</p><h2 style="text-align:center;">How to Control Your Mental State</h2><p>Controlling your mental state is not as hard as you might think.

No matter your stance on the subject. Gun control has become the big talk in the United States and rightfully so.<br /><br />How can we as a nation protect our citizens? Will Gun control help? Maybe in a few ways. Having tougher gun laws will help. Extensive <br /><br />background checks will solve some of the problems but will not completely get rid of the problem. Why you say, well in all of history <br /><br />there has always been violence in every part of the world. There are some that do not respect the life of another. They take what they<br /><br />want and do not care about lives. Evil people will always exsist. So the debate will go on, here's an idea. The right to bear arms is in<br /><br />our constitution. It was put there for a reason, to provide our people with its own protection in case of attack. Either from other countries<br /><br />criminals, or from our own government. Think back to the revolutionary war. What were our founding fathers fighting against. Why did they put <br /><br />this ammendment into our constitution? These are a few questions to ponder. <br /><br /><br /><br />The ban of semi-automatic weapons will help, no one needs these weapons, except the military who are trained to use them. But total <br /><br />ban of guns would be a devastating blow to our personal rights as citizens. When one fundamental right is taken away. there surely will<br /><br />be more to follow. We do not live in a perfect world. There is no easy answers. What is your stance on this controversal subject? What is the best way to keep our people, especially our children safe?<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://ibourl.com/11zt"><img src="http://www.ibosocial.com/images/linkarrow.gif" border="0" alt="linkarrow.gif" /> ibourl.com/11zt </a><br />Author: Christine Forsythe </td></tr></tbody></table></div>Shape Your Surroundingshttps://syndicationexpress.ning.com/profiles/blogs/shape-your-surroundings2012-12-10T04:47:35.000Z2012-12-10T04:47:35.000ZTimothy Ellerhttps://syndicationexpress.ning.com/members/TimothyEller<div><p>Make It Easier to Control Your Weight<br />From the <a href="http://newsinhealth.nih.gov/" target="_blank">National Institutes of Health “News In Health” online newsletter</a></p><p><br />On the face of it, controlling your weight is simple: eat less and exercise more. But it’s much harder than it sounds. Researchers<br />have recently found several factors influencing your weight that you might not be aware of. Here’s how to recognize and take<br />control of the things that may be tripping up your efforts at weight control. You probably have a pretty good idea what a healthy<br />diet is. Unfortunately, studies show that Americans are not eating enough fruits, vegetables and whole grains. And we’re eating<br />too much fat and salt. So where are we going wrong?</p><p></p><p></p><p><br />Part of the problem, according to Dr. Andrew Rundle of Columbia University, is that so many things around us influence the<br />seemingly simple balance between how many calories we eat and how many we burn. “I’ve often thought that the obesity<br />epidemic is an epidemic of a thousand paper cuts,” he says. “So many things prod us throughout the day to raise our calorie<br />intake and lower our energy expenditure.” Once you recognize what these things are, you can take control of your surroundings<br />to make healthy habits easier.</p><p></p><p><br />First off, learn how to read nutrition labels and ignore the rest of the packaging. Phrases like “low-fat” don’t necessarily mean<br />anything if you’re concerned about calories. Some low-fat and non-fat foods actually have more calories than the normal<br />versions. “It’s not enough just to have the perception that something’s healthy,” says Dr. Susan Yanovski, co-director of the<br />Office of Obesity Research at NIH’s National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases. “You actually have to look<br />at what’s in it.” Make sure to look at the number of portions, too, she says. That muffin might seem like it has 150 calories, but if<br />the serving size is 1/3 of a muffin, it really has 450 calories.</p><p></p><p><br />Did you know that the size and shape of what’s holding your food can affect how much you eat? “People basically eat what’s put<br />in front of them,” Yanovski says. It’s the amount of food you eat that counts, not what it looks like. So try serving food on smaller<br />plates and bowls if you’d like to eat less.<br />One of the reasons eating out has become such a challenge is that restaurant food portions have gotten larger. Super-sized<br />dishes may seem like a good value, but not if they get you to eat more than your body needs. Order smaller dishes and plan to<br />share larger ones. Or set aside a portion to take home with you before you even put a bite in your mouth.</p><p></p><p><br />It’s easy to fool yourself about how much you’re eating—and, it turns out, about how healthy the food is. Marketing researchers<br />have found that when restaurants claim to be healthy, people are more likely to underestimate the calories in their main dish and<br />order higher calorie side dishes. One study found that when there’s healthy food available, people actually make more indulgent<br />choices. Remember, it’s what you eat that counts, not what you think about eating.<br />You may not think about sleep when you’re concerned with weight, but studies show that people who get less sleep have a<br />higher risk of obesity (along with other health problems). Lack of sleep can disrupt the normal chemical signals in your body and<br />lead you to eat more. So try to get enough sleep. And make sure not to snack mindlessly when you’re sleepy, like late at night.<br />Your neighborhood and community can affect your weight as well. A research team led by Rundle found that access to produce<br />markets, supermarkets and health food stores is associated with lower rates of obesity in New York City.</p><p></p><p><br />“It’s also an issue in rural areas because the very small towns don’t have supermarkets,” says Dr. Madeline Dalton of Dartmouth<br />Medical School. “Sometimes you need to drive 15 to 20 miles to get to a store that has fruits and vegetables. Clearly, that’s a<br />problem.”</p><p><br />Wherever you live, Dalton says, you need to plan to eat well. “It’s really a matter of getting to know your environment and<br />figuring out how to get healthy food on a regular basis.”<br />Your surroundings can also affect how active you are. Studies show that people in neighborhoods without sidewalks, or who live<br />far from a recreational facility or a walking or biking trail, are more likely to be obese. People who perceive their community as<br />unpleasant or unsafe are also more likely to be obese. Recognize your particular challenges and figure out how to add exercise<br />and physical activity to your daily routine.</p><p><br />Once you identify the things that affect your weight, you can start changing them. Set modest goals and gradually improve your<br />habits. “Pick 1 or 2 things in your life that you think you can change,” Dalton says. “Just walk a quarter of a mile a day to get<br />started. Cut out 1 soda every day.” You may have to try a few times, but when you meet each goal you can move on to the next<br />one.</p><p><br />NIH-funded research has found that people who are close influence each other’s weight. You may be more likely to lose weight<br />if you work with friends, relatives and co-workers to develop healthier lifestyles. Get the family together to make nutritious meals.<br />Form walking groups with co-workers. Take a dance class with friends.<br />“What you really want to do is make the healthy choice the easy choice, the default choice,” Yanovski says.</p><p></p><p>For more information on controlling your weight and eating healthier check out my blog <a href="http://timothyeller.ws/TheHealthAndWellnessInsider" target="_blank">The Health And Wellness Insider</a>.</p></div>
