Are you an Early Bird or a Night Owl – and how that can make or break your business success?

Lynette van Greunen



Early Birds are typically the people who love to get up at the crack of dawn and generally use the rising sun as their natural alarm clock.

It does not take much to get them out of bed and once their feet hit the floor, well they are almost instantly ready to start doing whatever needs to be done.

Some might turn on the tunes, singing along happily and are up to date on world news before the sun has even peek its entire head over the horizon…

Around midday, their chirpy mood starts to wane, making way for the unexplained grumpiness that starts to set in. By the time the sun is getting ready to retire for the day, the bed is about the only place that will welcome their company…

These Early Bird individuals need "wind down" activities at night. Now, meet the Night Owls, who need "wind down" activities in the morning….

We are all aware that everything in nature has an opposite, so it goes without saying that the Night Owls have a rightful place in this world too…

These are the individuals that need a really loud sounding alarm clock to jolt them from their dreams. The snooze button must be unmistakably big and easy to hit with eyes still tightly closed.

Getting up early is not a pleasant experience for them. Given the slightest chance they will gladly doze until well into the morning.

When they eventually venture out of bed, they seem to daze around for a few more hours before they manage to get themselves dressed and ready for the day.

Generally, they will find some errands or effortless chores to pass the first half of the day. By midday, they are usually ready to take a little nap…

But once they awake from the nap, there is no stopping them. Their minds start racing in a frenzied fashion from the one project to the other and they start performing miracles, working well into the night, seemingly effortless…

If you are considering starting your own business, it is vitally important to determine when you work best and to choose a business that allows you to work when you are at your peak performance levels.

When you work for yourself, there is no paycheck just for showing up to work! No, you actually have to produce concrete results in order to get paid.

Running your own business is no joke, but the rewards are worth far more than the initial effort that you have to put in. But, here is a little known secret for you…

If your business requires you to work against your inborn natural performance pattern, you will most probably fail no matter how hard you try. It is really as simple as that.

Look at it this way, if the business requires you to make important sales calls first thing in the morning, the Night Owl will surely fail because he simply won't feel ready for that type of pressure first thing in the morning.

Similarly, if the business requires sales calls that can only be done after hours, the Early Bird will fail simply because he is not at his peak performance levels at night.

In both cases, the individuals will start experiencing high levels of frustration and start thinking that they are not capable of doing what it takes to succeed and many will likely quit trying at this point.

But in reality, both individuals could have had success, had they been working with their natural inborn performance patterns. Some business owners need to find a system that allows them to work during regular office hours, while for others they need a system that allows them to work after hours.

So, where do you start to find a business that allows you that type of flexibility. E-commerce is the answer. It allows you to take full control of every minute you feel like working, no matter what the time of day or night is.

Early Birds and Night Owls alike can operate at full potential 24/7 and it is the only business solution where it is never too late or too early to grow your business into the successful venture you have always longed for.

Starting your own business will definitely be the best thing that you could ever do for yourself.

Anxiety Disorder Treatments: The Best Herbal Remedies for Anxiety

Tess Thompson



by Tess Thompson



Anxiety disorders are the most common of all mental health
disorders and affect the lives of millions of people every year,
including approximately 19 million in the U.S. alone. If you are
one of them, you may wonder if your symptoms are standard, and
if there are behavioral and medical treatments that might be
effective for you. While everyone experiences anxiety in some
form -- perhaps before giving a public presentation or in the
midst of major life changes -- those with anxiety disorders
experience it unusally often and irrationally.



There are many different types of anxiety disorders, each of
which have unique features, but all of them share the symptoms
of dread and excessive fear. Five common types are panic
disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress
disorder, social anxiety disorder and generalized anxiety
disorder. As with most disorders, each individual will
experience symptoms slightly differently, and response to
treatment will vary as well. While there are prescription
medications for anxiety, for those who are wary of the side
effects there also exist natural treatments for anxiety which
contain herbal ingredients that can produce equally positive
effects.



Passion flower (or Passiflora Incarnata) is a natural ingredient
that is often used for anxiety relief, as well as to treat
hyperactivity, insomnia, nervous tension and even Parkinson's
Disease. Passion flower helps to calm and soothe and is believed
to be able to reduce nervous tremors and lower high blood
pressure.



Lavendar (or Lavandula Augustifolia) is one of the most popular
natural ingredients for treatment of a variety of conditions,
including anxiety disorder. Lavendar is a general tonic for the
nervous system and is well-known for it's calming properties,
making it among the most effective of natural panic attack
treatments. The active ingredients in lavendar are tannins,
flavinoids, coumarins, triterponoids and volatile oil.



Lemon Balm (or Melissa Officinalis) is a natural ingredient that
is used as a resorative for the nervous system and also calms
the digestive system and reduces blood pressure. Lemon Balm has
also been used to treat Grave's disease (hyperthyroidism), and
to treat depression and insomnia.



There are no quick fixes for anxiety disorder and anxiety
disorder treatments should usually focus heavily on behavioral
therapy. No matter how many times you might hear that you "worry
too much" or that you should relax, your symptoms are not
character flaws but indications of a serious disorder that is
not your fault. Anxiety disorder is caused by biological,
physiological and genetic factors, and may make your life seem
stressful and difficult. There are many others like you who have
found effective treatment through therapy, medication, herbal
remedies for anxiety or some combination of the aforementioned,
and you too have the ability to overcome your disorder to lead a
happier, healthier life.

Anxiety and Depression - Natural Antidepressants for Mood Boosting

Danna Schneider



Millions of people, especially in the United States, are
currently suffering the symptoms of depression, and have even
gone as far as taking prescription antidepressants that may have
harmful side effects and dampen the quality of their life in
other ways in the hopes it will just go away.



The fact is, many prescription antidepressant drugs do have
undesirable side effects that really can affect other areas of
your life, but they are looked at by many as "the lesser of two
evils". It's better to not be depressed and anxious, even if you
do suffer side effects such as headache, nausea, and decreased
sexual function, right?



Wrong! There is a better way to manage stress, anxiety and
depression - naturally and without man-made drugs or narcotics.
This natural antidepressant remedy actually contains several
pure botanicals, natural compounds and herbs that work in unison
to balance mood, elevate our natural "antidepressant" chemicals
in the brain, maintain even blood sugar levels (which believe it
or not, has actually produced weight loss and belly fat loss in
many who have taken it), and promote an overall sense of well
being and peace.



This product is an excellent remedy for calming anxiety and
depression. There are also lifestyle tips that will help you
fight depression, anxiety and stress. Number one on that list is
- you guessed it - moderate exercise. Now I don't mean you have
to do aerobics until you drop, but a nice, steady flow of
cardiovascular exercise like walking, jogging, biking, or
another form of low impact exercise is an excellent way to
manage these symptoms, while also promoting a healthy blood
pressure level, a healthy heart, and bodily strength and
endurance.



Yoga, forms of slow dance, tai chi, and other meditation-type
exercise is also an excellent way to manage stress, anxiety and
depression. These types of meditative exercises promote healthy
bodily functions, a healthy state of mind, and mental focus,
which are key factors in supporting a healthy sense of well
being and peace.



If you have a desk job, make it a point to get up and walk
around once every hour. Inactivity is one of the biggest
perpetuators of depression and anxiety. The human body was
designed to be in frequent motion, not to sit all day. So go,
get a drink of water, walk some stairs, or take a little walk
outside whenever you get the opportunity. You'll be amazed by
what physical activity will do for your mental state.



Lastly, take some time for yourself. Every night, take a little
time out of your schedule for yourself. Whether it is reading a
book, writing in a diary or journal, taking a walk outside, or
doing anything else you enjoy, just do it. Getting a little dose
of genuine joy or peace in your day is key to being a happy and
well-balanced person.



With these few lifestyle guidelines in mind, don't let
depression and anxiety destroy your quality of life. Everyone
deserves to live a happy, fulfilled life without the need for
prescription anti-anxiety and antidepressant drugs. If you need
help, but do not want the common side effects of depression
medication, I highly encourage you to take a look at this
effective new product.

ANOTHER COLD SORE! WHY ME?

Dan Adams



An estimated 85 million Americans have acquired the herpes simplex (COLD SORE) virus. And the majority had received the virus before the age of three.

Not such a big surprise when you realize how many loving Uncles, Aunts and nephew just can't resist that cute little Kissy Kissy baby. Which is exactly how the Herpes Simplex virus is passed along. That innocent little hug and kiss is all it takes to inject a lifetime of the Herpes Simplex virus.

Generally a cold sore will run from 5 to 15 days in its various stages. They will range from a tiny split to an enormous sized seeping scab.

If the virus has gained strong immunities against your antibodies then you will be prone to repeated outbreaks.

Unlike the sexually transmitted Herpes virus there is little to worry about with the Herpes Simplex virus other than an occasional lip sore that can grow to the size of a watermelon
and cause every living being to stare at you like you have a 12 inch nose growing out the side of your face.

So the first question to pop into your mind might be, "is there a cure"? No. The herpes simplex virus is very
versatile and can adapt to just about anything you can throw at it. It will adapt and become stronger with each form of treatment.

Which brings us to question two. "Is there any particular remedy that has proven to stop or control cold sore outbreaks". Accepting the fact that what was just said in the proceeding
paragraph the answer would be yes and no.

Because most immune changes of the virus are minor it leaves it open to possible treatments by various antibiotics and many natural remedies which can temporarily halt an outbreak. However, again the virus will quickly adapt to many of these treatments making them useless on the next outbreak.

So, yes some treatments will work on most outbreaks but there will definitely be a stage of herpes simplex virus immune syndrome that will eventually make most all present
day treatments ineffective. Simply meaning the more you try to treat the outbreaks with various medications the
sooner you will reach the stage where no treatment will help.

You must also keep in mind that your present overall health conditions and other variables may temporarily slow or stop a remedy from working. So it may not always be the virus but your present health condition that blocks any remedy from working what is your solution for cold sore outbreaks?
If you have the simple small split type sore just let it run the course. Your body will develop antibodies to overpower the virus outbreak which will help keep new outbreaks from happening so repeatedly.

However if you have the major Mt Saint Helen's size outbreak then you can try the various medications and treatments in hopes that you will hit the right one.

A rule of thumb would be not to use remedies that you have recently used in the past simply because of the likelihood that the virus has already become immune to it.

GIN-CHIA

Bill Lewis, Vice President of Operations



Gin-Chia: Nature's Energy Booster!


Centuries ago, the great American Indian civilizations had their own form of the Pony Express. However, instead of men riding horses at full gallop for 20 miles and then changing steeds, the Indians ran the distance themselves and then passed their package to another man. Each of the runners carried a small pouch containing a provision that they ate on the run to give them the energy and stamina necessary to run their distance.


They often called it "running food" because of its ability to increase endurance. It contains neither caffeine nor any other artificial stimulant; on the contrary, it's 100% natural and proven to be one of the richest plant sources of protein.


Chia


This substance is none other than Chia Salvia Columbariae, or "Chia seed". Chia is a member of the mint family and grows naturally from the Mojave Desert all the way down into Argentina.
For centuries, Chia was of great economic importance to Native Americans of the Southwest and California coast. It was a major food crop of the Aztecs. The roasted seeds were mixed with water and eaten as gruel or ground into flour, called pinole, for baking. Indians also placed the seeds in water to make poultices and beverages.
One tablespoon of Chia seeds mixed in water was reputed to be sufficient nutrition to sustain a man on a forced march for 24 hours. An infusion of the seeds was valued by Spanish Missionaries as a fever remedy and as a poultice for gunshot wounds.
Today, long distance hikers eat Chia seeds to provide energy.


According to a study conducted by the University of Arizona in 2001, Chia possesses the highest percentage of the polyunsaturated fatty acids, a-linolenic and linoleic (i.e. 83.2%), of all crops. It is a great source of Omega-3 fatty acids, natural antioxidants and dietetic fiber. This same study also showed that the protein content of Chia is higher than other nutritional grains. Compare Chia's 19-23% protein to wheat (14%), corn (14%), rice (8.5%), oats (15.3%), and barley (9.2%). And, unlike these other grains, it is a complete protein, meaning that it has the appropriate balance of all essential amino
acids. Chia seed is also a good source of B vitamins, calcium, phosphorus, potassium,
zinc, and copper.


Ginseng


"Ginseng" is said to mean 'the wonder of the world.' The roots are called by the natives of China, Jin-chen, meaning 'like a man,' in reference to their resemblance to the human form. The American Indian name for the plant, garantoquen, has the same meaning. It is held in such esteem by the natives of China, that it is included as a necessity in all their best herbal combinations. The prepared root is chewed to increase vitality and to remove both mental and bodily fatigue.


Gin-Chia


Forever Living Products has combined the best of the East with the best of the West to produce a unique, energy-boosting, staminasustaining tablet, Gin-Chia.
Imagine the nutritional benefits of consuming this delicious combination of Chia Seed and Ginseng Root!
Why not try replacing those caffeine-containing soft drinks with a few Gin-Chia tablets and feel what its like to receive a "natural" boost to your energy level? You'll be glad you
did!

An Acne Home Remedy Does Exist, Will It Work For You?

Peter Crump



Have you tried an acne home remedy? There are an amazing amount of products that are probably sitting in your kitchen right now, just waiting for you to put them on your face! You might be surprised at how helpful these acne home remedies can be. An acne home remedy may be more effective than you thought.

In this day and age, many of us are used to buying our cosmetics in pretty bottle form, with the name of some well-known manufacturer on the side. And while there is no doubt that skincare specialists are working hard to bring us the most up-to-date combinations of chemical ingredients to help our skin look good, many of the basic ingredients they use can be found in our own kitchens, just waiting for us to use them as acne home remedies!

Homemade acne remedies can be as easy to put together as slicing a lemon. The astringent properties of this fruit make it a wonderful acne home remedy. Simply rub a slice of lemon over your skin before you go to bed at night, and see how clear it looks in the morning. Tomatoes are also a great acne home remedy, and can be used in the same way.

Other effective homemade acne remedies include garlic, which can be applied directly to spots and pimples. An application of mint juice is also helpful in treating skin conditions, including acne, insect bites, and even cuts and scrapes.

Raw papaya can also help reduce the swelling and soreness of those angry, sore pimples, as can a paste made from the peel of oranges. There really are a multitude of products available right from your kitchen that can be used as an acne home remedy.

While many of these products are the basis for the expensive cleansers that you will find at the drugstore, using them in a natural form can take a little more time. But remember that these natural acne home remedies can also be kinder to your skin than their manufactured counterparts, which can ultimately have a more healthful effect on the condition of your skin.

Your kitchen contains many products that could be your acne home remedy. If you are fed up trying those sometimes harsh, highly processed skincare products, then a homemade acne remedy might be the refreshing change that makes a real difference to your skin.

An acne home remedy may work better than you thought.
