Money visualization can help change your life

A powerful technique in changing your money mindset is visualization. If you look up visualization online, you’ll find page after page of “self-help” gurus shilling the idea that you can achieve your goals through the simple act of picturing their achievement in your head.
According to them, if you see yourself achieving your goals, you eventually will.
While there is scientific evidence to back this theory, it’s buried beneath countless pages written by Internet marketers. These guys have been touting this method of turning impossible dreams into easy reality for years.
Visualization Transforms Thought
Visualization trains you to change your thinking and feelings so that, in turn, you can change your behavior. Sounds simple enough, yes?
Well, it is. And, then again, it isn’t.
This is where most people get everything wrong.
Many people incorrectly believe that they can simply sit and picture themselves earning millions of dollars, then wait until their world is raining green. But making visualization work for you is a practice that takes plenty of time to perfect.
You can’t just pull up images in your head and think, “Oh! Yes! I want that!” Though this is tempting to many people in search of shortcuts, it won’t work. You must take time to learn the right techniques, and to slow down and practice every day.
Your brain is a fascinating organ that executes millions of processes each day. If you want to change your way of thinking through visualization, you must first study the method, then slowly start your practice.
So, what is the “right” way to visualize and train your brain to think differently?
The right method for results
First, find a comfortable, quiet spot where you can focus on what you’re doing (no TV, radios, or people speaking).
Settle into your new spot with some simple brain wave music. Yes, this is admittedly a bit “new age-y,” but fine tuning your thoughts will be easier with this music playing.
Second, sit comfortably or lie down. Begin exploring your ideal life — in this case, your ideal money situation. Focus on your breathing and thoughts. If you find your mind wandering, bring yourself back to your focus. It will take consistent practice before you can turn this into something that’s as easy as breathing.
Start thinking about what life is like with the things you want most.
Don’t just hold these images in your mind; interact with them. Feel them.Play your ideal situation repeatedly in your head. Allow yourself to get lost in the physical feelings of your “dream” so that your brain can begin to carve a new pathway. This pathway will help it wake to behaviors that will eventually bring you what you want.
Your brain will grow increasingly alert to the things you must do to render your dream into a reality.
Do this every day: work out your brain like you work out your body. Once you’ve aced this technique, you will no longer have to depend on brain wave music or your special locale. You’ll be able to dip into effective visualization at any time or place.
After your brain has been trained, you’ll hopefully start thinking differently about money. You’ll start reconsidering your purchases before making them. If saving money is your goal, savings will become one of your top priorities, and you’ll strongly consider consequences before spending your hard earned dollars on frivolities.

Google Authenticator, a formidable layer of protection to your account.

​Google Authenticator is a free security app that can protect your accounts against password theft. It's easy to set up and can be used in a process called two-factor authentication (2FA) offered on popular social media services like Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.  The app ( iOS / Android ) generates a random code used to verify your identity when you're logging into various services. The code can technically be sent to your phone via text message every time— but the Google Authenticator app provides an extra level of security.  SMS-based 2FA has a  known security flaw , and any devoted hacker can attempt to  socially engineer  an attack against your phone company. The Google Authenticator app eliminates the possibility of an SMS-based attack  using algorithms  to generate the codes on your phone. Here's how to set it up: 1. Download Google Authenticator from either the Apple App Store or the Android Google Play store. It's free. 2. Nex...

Floyd Mayweather Baby Mama Sues for $20 Mil ... He's a Despicable Liar

Floyd Mayweather could lose tens of millions of dollars from his big payday if his baby mama gets her way ... because she's just filed a lawsuit claiming he ruined her with lies to save his own ass. Josie Harris, who has 3 kids with Floyd, claims he lied through his teeth in an interview with Katie Couric just 2 weeks before the big fight ... when he claimed Josie was in a drug-fueled rage and he had to "restrain" her during their infamous 2010 domestic violence incident. Point of fact ... Floyd was convicted of domestic violence and spent two months in jail. Josie recounts her terror in the lawsuit, explaining how she and Floyd had broken up ... but he flew into a jealous rage that night, broke into her home and viciously attacked her while she was sleeping on her couch ... and her kids saw part of the beating. Harris says she is now labeled a drug addict thanks to Mayweather's lies -- and was embarrassed and humiliated on a global scale.   Her lawyer, Dan Friedl...

Google, harder to search for results from other countries

For a long time, there was an easy way to conduct a Google search in a country other than the one you’re in. If you wanted to get results specific to Japan, for instance, you would visit www.google.co.jp; to get Australian results you would visit www.google.com.au — but this trick no longer works. Google has announced that it will now always serve up results that are relevant to the country that you’re in, regardless of the country code top level domain names (ccTLD) you use. The reason given is a little bizarre. The search giant says that the change has been introduced because of the way people are using the search engine these days. It says: “around one in five searches on Google is related to location, so providing locally relevant search results is an essential part of serving you the most accurate information.” The argument seems counterintuitive, however. Anyone who has changed the ccTLD has done so consciously, and for a reason — for Google to override this decision is strange...
