Lofts As A State Of Mind

April 17, 2009

I know that in my early days in real estate, I advertised an apartment with the feel of a converted warehouse loft - and all it meant was a brand new penthouse within an edgy, fashionable development that generously inculcated the use of perforated steel on its staircases leading to the roof terrace as well as the flooring of the roof terrace that means that from the staircase you d be able to see 30 floors down. Remember one really cool potential tenant responding and I had to explain to him that, as far as I knew, we didnt have loft coversions yet , although I wouldnt be surprised that we would sometime in the near future . I hardly advertise in the mainstream media nowadays but have always wondered on how the term lofts have that great effect of adding that much needed boost of cool to an otherwise stodgy...

Accentuate The Positive

February 21, 2009

How badly do you want your life to change and improve. How much have you studied up on self-help, personal development and success. How many articles and publications have you read.

If you read every self-help book available, then you will never become a success because there won t be any time left to act upon the advice those publications offer. While it is good to listen to advice, eventually you are going to have to take action and that can t be done while reading. Our every thought either takes us toward our goals and desires or away from those goals and...

Get To Sleep Tonight

January 4, 2009

I used to have problems sleeping. I was always tired and if I accidentally dropped off during the day for so much as five minutes I wouldn t be able to sleep the following night. Then a friend told me a trick he used to use and I adapted it slightly. Since then I have always been able to use this technique to get to sleep. To start with, think about your breathing. Keep it regular and slow. As you breath in think to yourself sea and as you breathe out think shore . Get a rhythm going. While you re doing this imagine you re standing at the edge of the sea looking down at your feet. As you breathe in and think sea imagine the small waves running over your feet as a small wave breaks and then, as you breathe out and think shore imagine the water retreating back to the sea. See the water as it goes back towards the sea...
