Sunday’s Speedlinking 7-22-07

At Alex Shalman . com – Practical Personal Development the Sunday morning tradition is me posting links, to my favorite articles for the week, from OTHER blogs. I feel like this is a good way to bring attention to quality writing that my readers might not get a chance to see otherwise.

For this week my favorite articles are:

John Place shares his technique to memorize anything. It’s easy to implement, low risk to try, and most importantly it’s practical for memorizing information-heavy material.
Melody Brooke answers the age old relationship question ‘Why Won’t You Listen To Me?’. Just in time for our ‘How Can I Get Through To You‘ post. The key is compassion.
Brian Kim asks us to get in the habit of changing our approach. Before you quit, it is important to remember that there’s always another way to solve the problem. You can read more about this approach in Brian’s book, The Hidden Secrets in Think and Grow Rich.
Kirsten Harrell, Psy. D introduces us to a quick relaxation imagery that will leave us stress free to enjoy our Sunday.

Imagine taking all the stress and tension from your day or week and putting it into a balloon. Make this image very vivid in your mind’s eye. You can create this balloon any size and color that you choose. The important part is to imagine all of your stress energy and thoughts going into the balloon. When you have placed all of your stress into the balloon, imagine sending the balloon up and away. You can watch in your mind’s eye as the balloon sails away carrying with it all of your stress and tension. Feel yourself relaxing and getting lighter as you release your stress and worries.
