Statements from Gary Young:

Gary talked to us about a Legend on the first day of convention about the old people in Oman and surrounding areas told him. When God put Adam and Eve out of the Garden He gave them 3 things.

1. Frankincense
2. Myrrh
3. Balsam (also know as Gold)

God created different plants for different countries. Palo Santo is the Frankincense for the America’s. Frankincense is oil for the old country.

“How can I keep myself motivated long term?”

This seems to be quite a common dilemma for many people, so I want to address it because it can be done! Here are my tips for staying motivated:

1. Get motivated every day
Zig Ziglar was once confronted about being a “motivational speaker.”

The guy said to him:

“You guys come and get people hyped up and then you leave and the motivation goes away. It doesn’t last, and then you have to get motivated again.”

Zig reminded the gentleman that baths are the same way but we think it is a good idea to take a bath every day!

It is true that motivation doesn’t last. We have to renew it each and every day. That is okay. It doesn’t make motivation a bad thing. We simply have to realize that if we want to stay motivated over the long term, it is something we will have to apply to ourselves each and every day.

2. Have a vision for your life
The root word of motivation is “motive.” The definition of motive is, “A reason to act.” This is the cognitive or rational side of motivation. It is your vision. You have to have a vision that is big enough to motivate you.

If you are making $50,000 a year, it isn’t going to motivate you to set your goal at $52,000 a year. You just won’t get motivated for that because the reward isn’t enough. Maybe $70,000 a year would work for you. Set out a vision and a strategy for getting there. Have a plan and work the plan.

3. Fuel your passion
Much of motivation is emotional. I don’t know quite how it works but I do know THAT it works. Emotion is a powerful force in getting us going. Passion is an emotion, so fuel your passion.

“Well, I like to work on logic,” you may say. Great, now work on your passion. Set yourself on a course to have a consuming desire for your goal, whatever it is. Do whatever you can to feel the emotion and use it to your advantage!

4. Work hard enough to get results
You can build on your motivation by getting results. The harder you work, the more results you will get and the more results you get, the more you will be motivated to get more.

These things all build on one another. If you want to lose weight, then lose the first few pounds. When the belt moves to the next notch you will get fired up to get it to the notch beyond that!

5. Put good materials into your mind
I can’t say this enough – listen to tapes.

I still listen to tapes regularly. I buy tape clubs from other speakers and I learn and grow. Their successes motivate me to get my own successes!

Read good books. Read books that teach you new ideas and skills. Read books that tell the stories of successful people. Buy them, read them, and get motivated!

Buy great music and listen to it. I just did a spinning class at the club today. Whenever a good song came on I was actually able to get motivated to ride faster! It gets you going and motivates you!

6. Ride the momentum when it comes
Sometimes you will just be clicking and sometimes you won’t. That is okay. It is the cycle of life.

When you aren’t clicking, plug away. When you are clicking, pour it on because momentum will help you get larger gains in a shorter period of time with less energy.

That is the Momentum Equation! When you are feeling good about how your work is going, ride the momentum and get as much out of it as you can!

These are the top six ways to stay motivated. They are simple principles, but when you put them to work regularly, they will change your life by keeping you motivated all the time.

Get going!

Progessence Plus Serum (The Magic Bullet for Women??)

Thank you Debra Raybern.   This is a product that will receive worldwide attention.   For many women this new Young Living EXCLUSIVE product just might well prove to be the magic bullet for their health concerns. Progessence Plus Serum is much more than just a progesterone supplement. First of all what can progesterone (P4 – the exact kind the body produces naturally) do for you and who can use it?

If you are over the age of twelve, or younger but already having a menstrual cycle and suffer from:

Migraine headaches, Endometriosis Fibroids Post Partum Depression Mood swings Insomnia Metabolic Syndrome X – insulin resistance Hot flashes Night sweats PMS PCOS Endometriosis TMJ Hair loss Lowered libido Muscle wasting Weight gain Day sweats Fibromyalgia Bone health issues (osteoarthritis) Nerve damage Low energy levels Pituitary problems or damage (***Most common cause of low progesterone) Low thyroid (caused from damaged pituitary) Interstitial Cystitisand probably other things not mentioned

and if you want to:

reduce your risk of breast cancer kill breast cancer cells reduce the risk of heart attacks

then Progessence Plus Serum may be your magic bullet. OK, I hear you. “I’ve tried progesterone creams before and they did not seem to help; or they did for a while and then stopped”. Progessence Plus Serum is different. This USP grade wild yam (P4)progesterone is super-micronized to less than 5 microns, then melted into the essential oil infused serum containing vitamin E, and essential oils frankincense (boswellia sacara), copaiba, bergamot and peppermint that absorbs into the skin and levels out progesterone levels like never before.

Oral hormones have an undesired side effect; according to the International Journal of Pharmaceuticals. That side effects is increased estradiol. They suggest topical applications over oral troches or sub-linguals.

Dr. Dan Purser has spent his professional life researching and education both physicians and women on the dangers of regular hormone therapy, and the preferred safe alternative of progesterone. His research concludes that 98% of all women, ages 12 and up would benefit from the use of progesterone cream if they have any of the symptoms listed above. Girls as young as 12, he says, with heavy periods, cramping, PMS will benefit. Even women with complete hysterectomies and nursing moms. Women using Progessence Plus Serum can safely use through the tenth week of pregnancy, and by then the body should be making sufficient amounts on its own.

Dr. Purser said: “Taking just ONE birth control pill increases your risk for breast cancer for the next TEN YEARS”. This should never be an option when Progessence Plus Serum will help you overcome the symptoms the birth control pill is often prescribed for. In his quest to bring his patients the very best, his lab partnered with Young Living to create Progessence Plus Serum, sold exclusively through Young Living.

How to use:

It is not necessary to use according to your female cycle, daily use is fine, but you can use according to your cycle. Apply to clean dry skin, such as after a bath or shower. As oils build up on the skin during the day, better absorption will occur if the skin is clean and warm. Use as often as desired, generally one to two drops on the neck over the carotid arteries, temples, jaw, forearm, spine, etc. every hour or until symptoms are gone. Once you are feeling better, then you can adjust the amount used. Do not use with medically prescribed progestins or birth control pills. Symptoms of nausea may occur within the first couple hours as the body gets used to the progesterone, apply more and they will dissipate.

Testimonies:

Weight control – Tracy Rushton A quick testimony from me about Progessence Plus Serum: As you know I struggle with losing weight unless I eat 6 to 7 small meals a day, measuring out each portion, recording it and keeping a journal to track the protein, carbohydrate, fat grams as well as, calorie counting. While at the convention we ate nutritiously but the portions were large and I am sure the calorie count was extremely high and I ate only two actual meals a day and a PowerMeal for breakfast. I used two to four drops of Progessence Plus Serum each day since its release at the convention. This morning I weighed myself and was pleasantly surprised to have the scale show 4 pounds less in one weeks time. Dr. Purser stated that the use of Progessence Plus could reverse Metabolic Syndrome X – insulin resistance. I believe this new product will be life changing for me and for every woman who uses it.

TMJ – Teresa Gingles For years I have suffered with TMJ. Everything I ate had to be cut up as I could not open wide enough for a sandwich. After one application of Progessence Plus Serum over the jaw area, within minutes I could open my mouth fully. Painful periods, menstrual migraine – 20 year old female Pain, headaches, nausea, heavy flow where all a part of this young ladies life during her cycle. Hit hard while attending convention, she was in bed waiting for things to get better. She applied Progessence Plus Serum to her temples and arms. The headache began to subside, but the nausea was intense. Then out of desperation we applied 20 drops of Progessence Plus Serum (Dr. Purser said we just needed to use more to get her over the hump) to her spine and feet. Within 15 minutes she was completely out of pain, no symptoms. She continues to use Progessence Plus Serum three times daily, one to two drops on the neck. Migraine – 21 year old female Intense migraines left this young lady in bed, wearing sunglasses and very nauseated. Progessence Plus Serum was applied to the temples, repeatedly every hour until her hormone levels came up to normal and the head ache broke.

Whole demeanor changes – Christin Pivero I never knew how great I could feel until I tried Progessence Plus Serum. Now if I start to feel a little out of sorts, I apply Progessence Plus Serum and within minutes I feel great again. My husband is going to love this new product!

Hot flashes gone – Dana Hartstein I have suffered with hot flashes off and on and found many products from Young Living that helped; but nothing like Progessence Plus Serum. I applied some of the samples available at the convention expo and no more hot flashes.

Sleep – Debra Raybern Always a light sleeper, alert to every cricket or but outside my window, using Progessence Plus Serum I have a terrific night sleep, wake refreshed and as a side note no more night sweats.

Sleep – Sera Johnson With four young children I have been a light sleeper for years. Using Progessence Plus Serum from the very first night my sleep has been sound and no waking in the middle of the night. I wake refreshed.

Progessence Plus Serum is exclusive to Young Living.

How often to you feel like a victim? If you’re anything like me, probably more often than you’d like to admit. Although I usually pretend to be too “evolved” to play the role of victim in my life, I do catch myself at times feeling, thinking, and talking in that old, familiar, “oh poor me” kind of way. Can you relate?

I remember one of my mentors telling me years ago, “Mike, you can’t simultaneously be grateful and victimized.”

The more I reflect on this piece of profound wisdom, the more I realize how true it is. Whenever I find myself feeling as though “It’s not fair,” or wondering “Why is this happening to me?” – I notice that I’m not at all in touch with anything I’m grateful for in those moments. On the flip side, when I take the time to focus on what I appreciate about myself, those around me, my life, and/or life in general – it’s almost impossible for me to experience victimhood at the same time.

Gratitude is powerful!

Here are a few things for you to think about and do, in order to expand your own capacity for gratitude in the face of situations, relationships, and circumstances which may have you currently feeling like a victim.

1) Notice where you feel victimized. Where do you feel like a victim in your life right now? Maybe you have a big issue or challenge related to your health, finances, work situation, love life, or family. Maybe there are some smaller “annoyances” in your life – sitting in traffic, waiting in line, dealing with difficult people, etc. – that leave you feeling a bit victimized. Take some honest inventory, without judgment, and notice where you go into victimhood yourself.

2) Ask yourself what you’re grateful for. Asking and answering the question, “What am I grateful for?” is one of the most powerful things we can do, especially when we’re dealing with a challenging situation. Remember, appreciating something or being grateful for it doesn’t necessarily mean you “like” or “agree” with it – it simply means you recognize the value of it. When we can acknowledge the value of something, even and especially when it’s painful or difficult, we take back our power from it and tap into some of its positive influence in our lives. Choosing to be grateful for the specific things we’re challenged by is one of the best ways we can transform these situations and our lives.

3) Think about, feel, and express what you’re grateful for. Gratitude is a wonderful concept and a transformative practice. Most of us know the importance of being grateful, but we can only benefit from it when we experience our gratitude. We can’t be grateful in theory (or in the past or the future), we can only be grateful NOW. Whether we choose to find the silver lining in difficult circumstances, use the situation (as Ian did) as a opportunity to focus on some of the things we appreciate about life, or simply remember to focus on what we’re grateful for at random times during the course of our day – gratitude is one of the most life-altering emotions we can tap into and experience as human beings. And, the great news is that we have access to gratitude any time we choose.

Where in your life are you feeling victimized? What can you find to be grateful for about that specific situation? How can you shift from victimization to gratitude in a way that will make a difference in your life? Share your thoughts, action ideas, insights, and more.
