10 Ways How to Spot a Manipulator!

We all get the urge to influence others’ decisions from time to time. Most of us have this desire because we like to help our loved ones.

However, there are people with not so pure heart. Their desire is produced and driven by some materialistic gain.

There are individuals trained to the art of manipulation since the first hierarchy was created.

Some manipulate people for the right reasons some for other reasons.

There are ways you can prevent this from happening to you.

How to Spot a Manipulator?

These are the 10 “piece of cake” ways how to spot a manipulator which will make you a “hunter” instead of a “prey”

1. Lower your guard and act naive

Let your guard downA manipulator is trained how to go around your guard and “hit you from behind”. So your guard will do nothing but help you be fooled.

If you want to play the manipulator you should act naive. Naive people are breath of fresh air for manipulators so they’ll be more obvious when they deal with naive fishes. This is 101 how to spot a manipulator.

The key is to have fun. A manipulator will try to find your weakness. Act naive and let the manipulator think he/she is fooling you. Act surprised, give compliments, and give them space to “attack”. Once you are “hit” with their true intent you’ll know who they really are.

2. Observe the difference in behavior when with other people

how to spot a manipulator - Observe ThemManipulators are usually masters of blending with the crowd. If they are with a group of people who eat meat they’ll be anti vegetarians and if they are with vegetarians they’ll act like they understand why eating meat is wrong.

When you make a conversation with a suspicious individual start a conversation about something you are “anti” and keep a strong position.

If he/she agrees with you on the subject bring him in a group of people who are “pro” about what you said you are “anti”. This is all a test. You have made a deal with your friends to express their “pro” opinion and observe the standing of the potential manipulator.

3. A manipulator will always try to make you feel guilty

Feeling GuiltyThe number 1 trick of any manipulator is to show a “problem” that you are not aware of and act as if they have the solution. The trick to do this is to make you feel guilty about something.

When we feel guilty we lose self confidence and lean unto the first confident being we see. We give the power of free will and making a choice into their hands. We give the responsibility of our life in someone else’s back.

This is all that a manipulator needs. If he/she has the wheel of your boat they can sail wherever they want to. Let guilt be your trigger sign. If you feel guilt, try gaining more self confidence instead of depending on others’ confidence.

4. Be a realist and ask for the facts

Be RealistThey say when there is a storm an optimist hopes it will pass, a pessimist expects they’ll sink, and a realist adjusts their sails in a direction of the wind.

Bing a realist is crucial for survival. It is not that if you are realist you cannot hope for the best, or you will not expect the worst, it is a unity of the best from the both. You will see behind the illusion and coordinate your action by the TRUTH.

When a manipulator tells a “story” they usually skip all the other facts and linger to that 1 or 2 facts which benefit their cause. Your job is to make them tell you the worst case scenario and create your own story based on the unity of both scenarios.

5. Know your rights so you’ll know when someone is violating them

how to spot a manipulator - Know Your RightsYou have the right to be treated with respect.

You have the right to express your feelings, opinions and wants.

You have the right to set your own priorities.

You have the right to say “no” without feeling guilty.

You have the right to get what you pay for.

You have the right to have opinions different than others.

You have the right to take care of and protect yourself from being threatened physically, mentally or emotionally.

You have the right to create your own happy and healthy life.

Don’t tolerate anyone who doesn’t respect even 1 of them.

6. Question the intent behind the story

IntentThe story a manipulator tells is always “a sunshine packed in a beautiful present”. They will act as if you are the lucky winner of the lottery because they have something that will change your life.

This story is always packed with a little call to action. This is usually a small amount of money or a VERY large amount of money, your physical energy and not so often some other material possession.

When you stumble upon a “story” like this don’t be automatically repulsed. There are some AMAZING opportunities you’ll stumble upon in your life VERY similar as the manipulator’s “story”. However, it is your right to question the intent behind the “story”. Ask what do they gain, because let’s face it, no one will come and help you if that’s not benefiting them somehow.

7. “Bite” and then act unreachable

how to spot a manipulator - Be The BaitLet’s say someone is telling you that if you enter in their organization you will benefit a lot. Let’s not get into details. OK. So “if I benefit a lot thank you for telling me, I will certainly enter.”

They are happy, you are happy, it’s all sunshine and rainbows. This is how you “bite”, but it is ok. You must “bite” to see if someone is fishing you.

If the person is so kind to give you advice on how to benefit your lifestyle that’s awesome, they did their job and now it’s up to you as that’s your life. Become unreachable for a couple of days. If the person is doing all he/she can to reach you and convince you to accept, joining in this hypothetical case, they don’t want to help your life they want YOU to help theirs.

8. Let them talk

how to spot a manipulator - Listen and SmileThis can be actually pretty fun. A manipulator usually starts with a quick chit chat. They’ll talk about the weather, they’ll crack up a joke or 2, they may even be “interested” in what’s been happening to you.

But almost anyone starts a conversation like this, what differs the manipulator? God bless you for asking. If you keep on listening and leave them talk, manipulators will steer the conversation to the “business”. This will not happen with everyday friends, it usually gets awkward if you just listen and smile.

If you continue to be quiet and listen manipulators will always invite you to take an action about what they’ve been “secretly” offering you. If you want to raise the FUN keep on listening and smiling. You won’t believe how people act in those situations.

9. Be 100% honest and express what you feel

how to spot a manipulator - Be HonestThe manipulator will always try to find your weakness and throw it in your face. What’s the weakness of the manipulator? HONESTY!

Be 100% honest with yourself and everyone. Tell your weaknesses before they even start talking. Express your feelings. Be a human simply said. Be you.

A manipulator is unable to be honest because he is trying to manipulate you. Use this against them. Become their psychiatrist and ask deep questions about THEM after you’ve opened your heart. A manipulator will never make a “deep” conversation, they’ll do anything to avoid it. This is your trigger sign.

10. Make your purpose and needs a priority

Know Your PurposeSooner or later we will always stumble upon a manipulator. From door to door sellers to emails about million dollar transfers it is impossible to avoid them. However, we must understand that they are also people who try to make money to live better.

They are on the other side of this “game”, they train how to be manipulators so they’ll sell more. This doesn’t mean the product they sell is s**t. It may actually REALLY benefit you and your life.

What is crucially important is to KNOW YOUR PURPOSE in life. Know what you really need. Know Thyself.

If you are not buying a product you need, on a discount, because a manipulator is selling it to you it is worse than letting yourself be manipulated in that instance. You are going against your own purpose and needs.

Also, when you know your purpose there are no manipulators, there are only people who can benefit your cause and all the others.

Conclusion

At the end of the day it is not about “have you been manipulated or don’t”. That’s a weak EGO’s business.

At the end of the day is about “have you done something to improve your life or not”. It’s not about the imaginary scoreboard.

It’s about “are you walking towards the direction of your purpose”, “are you following the path your heart points at”.

Have you ever been manipulated in your life? I would love to hear your experiences as I have been a couple of times. Write in the comments below!

These People Reversed their Diabetes in 30 Days through This Method!

Diabetes is a disease that can happen to anyone. From old people to young teenagers everyone has a potential of suffering from Diabetes.

What is DiabetesIt is a disease where the person loses the ability to control their blood sugar levels and needs to take pills or shots of insulin to help their body do the job.

There are countless of methods that offer management of this disease, however, no one has found a definite cure to restore the body’s ability to regulate the blood sugar levels.

Currently the belief is “Diabetes is a chronic disease that has no cure.”– The American Diabetes Association.

Be that as it may, Gabriel Cousens believes the cure of diabetes is in the diet. Raw food diet to be more exact.

The Method

Raw FoodThe approach Gabriel Cousens takes to cure people of diabetes is all about changing their diet.

Given his position on diet, he believes in taking a mainly raw approach to eating and consuming a plant based diet.

His team prepares raw, well-balanced and whole meals for the test subjects throughout the 30 day period. The food becomes their medicine.

With medical supervision, all of the subjects took their medication as needed and ate the food that is provided to them by Gabriel and his team at the Tree Of Life Rejuvenation Center.

The People Reversed their Diabetes in 30 Days!

By Day 3 of the program Kirt, Bill and Henry were able to stop taking insulin and medication. Their blood sugar levels had already dropped to the normal range after just 3 days of changing their diet.

Pam was able to cut her insulin intake by 1/3.

Raw Food DietAustin, the type 1 diabetic, was able to cut his insulin intake down to half. And Michelle saw her blood sugar at around 362.

This discouraged her to the point where she didn’t want to stay in the program any longer, although she did.

By day 12 of the program, Henry’s blood sugar had dropped 256 points compared to day 1.

He was not using medication to lower his blood sugar levels. Although he was seeing great results, Henry felt he was too old for the program and requested to go home.

His family arrived on day 17 and he went home. By that time, he was no longer taking 17 medications, he had lost 30 pounds and his blood pressure had decreased. In Henry’s case, his addiction to the food he used to eat was too difficult to overcome.

By the very last day, day 30, incredible results were seen that intensely challenges the current belief that diabetes has no cure.

  • Kirt no longer needed medications. His blood sugar had dropped 214 points to as low as 73 (normal) without medication. It was later found out he was type 1 diabetic since the beginning.
  • Bill stopped taking 19 medications and lost 32 pounds. His blood sugar dropped 214 points to 74 (normal) without medication or insulin.
  • Michelle stopped taking all of her medications and lost 23 pounds. Her blood sugar dropped from 291 to 109 without the use of medication.
  • Pam lost 26 pounds while her blood sugar dropped 167 points down to 112 without medication.
  • Austin, who is type 1 diabetic, lost 20 pounds and reduced his insulin from 70 units down to 5.

A type 1 diabetic (Kirt) had his diabetes completely cured -something that is considered impossible. All type 2 diabetics no longer needed insulin.

So does eating raw organic diet really cures Diabetes?

Fact is that food is responsible for over 70% of our health. What we put inside of our bodies becomes a part of us.

Knowing this and taking in account the experiment above we can say that it is very possible this to be a simple Natural cure. It is logical.

After all, what’s to lose if you try for 30 days to eat healthy food?

If anything you’ll feel a lot better and you’ll have A LOT more energy!

Have you ever tried raw food to cure your diabetes? We are curious to hear some real live results from others.

This is The Feeling You Get when You Face Your Fears!

No matter who you are, you are afraid of something. We all are!

Fear is not something you get over and then become immune to it. Fear is simply the unknown behind the borders of comfort.

No matter how much we escape our comfort zone, sooner or later we become comfortable again, it is our Nature.

If you are comfortable you are afraid of something outside of the comfort zone, even if it is simply the thought of being in an uncomfortable situation.

To be afraid it’s ok.

It is normal. It is a sign that we still love something, that we still have a purpose.

However, what’s not ok is to let fear control you. It is not ok to let fear stop you from doing what you love. It is not ok to miss on all the beauty life has to offer just because you are afraid.

By the way, the feeling you get when you face your fears is priceless.

Facing fear should be something on your daily schedule, just before eating breakfast or checking emails.

Every time you face fear you earn confidence points. Facing fear on regular basis gives us strong self confidence and self confidence literally shapes your reality.

Despite the self confidence,

facing fear gives us that feeling of freedom, happiness and excitement. That feeling when we want to dance, jump and laugh until our abs hurt.

It is one of the most priceless feelings that humans have ever encountered. It fills us with life, energy, vitality, it makes us look young and feel like superheroes.

If you don’t know what this feeling looks like watch the badass grandma in the video bellow.

Grandma Ria, aged 78, had never travelled on an airplane before. So before her first flight ever, to beat her fear she took to the sky on a rollercoaster.

The feeling you get when you face your fears is priceless!

Do You Know You were Most Likely Part of a Facebook Experiment ?

In June, Facebook researchers announced the results of a 2011 study that manipulated the news feeds of nearly a million user news feeds to see how positive or negative posts affected user behavior.

This, of course, angered a lot of people as they had no idea they were a part of this Facebook experiment.

Facebook ExperimentFacebook injected nearly 700,000 user’s feeds with negative content to see if these would breed further negative content.

Facebook’s predictions were confirmed. The results showed that the moods displayed in the injected posts resulted in a “contagion” of that mood on the recipients’ profile.

Facebook and the Experimenters apologize.

“There are things we should have done differently.”

Let’s not all get negative here and let emotions of anger decrease our perspective.

Leaving this aside, a question arises, what was the intent of this experiment? Why did the experimenters need to see how positive or negative posts affect user behavior?

Let’s look at this objectively.

There are more than 1.3 billion Facebook users and till recent times users were looked at as numbers.

Now scientists approach Facebook users as what they truly are, humans with emotions.

Understanding how Facebook users behave depending on their emotions is a POWERFUL knowledge and only the ones possessing it can show if they’ll use it for good or bad.

Either way, it is neither fair nor ethical to do experiments on people who have never approved for experiments to be done on them.

Why is it a POWERFUL knowledge?

Facebook Experiment News FeedWell we all know that Facebook controls what is going into your news feed.

Imagine if they know how a unique user interacts when exposed to “negative-news feed”.

That unique user may behave by listening to YouTube or watching a movie, Tv Show, they may even comment more or share more links.

By triggering a “negative-news feed” they trigger the user’s bias behavior which is a form of POWERFUL mind control.

By pushing buttons they are pulling strings coordinating how unique users will interact.

However, this can be used for good also as the ones controlling the news feed can improve the mood of people who feel down.

Mind PointsLike I’ve said, the POWER of certain knowledge is neither good nor bad. However, the ones possessing the power determine what the power will be used for.

Run a Marathon! – A Complete Guide for Beginners (INFOGRAPHIC)

If you read my blog you know how much I’m annoying about running. There are countless other exercises but I always speak about running.

I even have a separate category about running.

Why?

Running is the one exercise that unites all four pillars of your being, of course if you know how to run.

Running is not about the millage or the time. It is not about looking sexy or being fit. It’s not about health even.

Do you like to meditate? What is meditation for you? The average answer is “calm the mind” and that is true. But the answer is not complete.

Meditation is not just calming your mind, it is calming your body and heart also so you’ll be able to get to that center place of yourself.

From this place you are a spectator of your whole being and you can raise your spirit to fill your body, heart and mind with positive energy.

Running is the other side of the coin.

If meditation is calming your body and through it calming the mind and heart to bring energy to your body, running is activating your body and calming your spirit so you’ll be able to redesign some beliefs inside it.

Running is a necessity just like sleeping and meditating.

Have you ever wished to run a marathon? Have you ever thought how is it possible for anyone to run so much?

Everyone can do it, all it takes is a little training and discipline.

After you run a marathon you will start preaching to everybody to do it. It is not because of bragging, well.. it is just a little bit about bragging, but most of it is about the “high” you’ll get when you cross that finish line.

Here is a complete guide for beginners – Run a Marathon!

THIS is The Secret to WIN at LIFE: Go into The EYE of The Storm!

The stormThere is a storm! A storm unlike any other! Every place the storm passed through is left a wasteland. It knows no mercy and it breaks apart anything it touches.

We are all afraid of this storm and everyone in their right mind should be afraid.

What you love, what you hate, what you know, what you are, everything you have will be destroyed if the storm catches up to you.

Running away of the stormThat’s why we are running away! Running, like mad dogs, just to be as further away as we can from the storm.

But wherever we go, as fast as we run, the storm is always behind our back, breathing in our neck.

We must run away! We cannot stop! We mustn’t stop! Your sub consciousness is screaming those words to YOU!

So you keep on running. You keep on searching for a safe place in this world you’ll call home. A home where you’ll be safe from this storm.

There is no such place..

Nowhere is safe from the storm. Wherever you go, wherever you run away to hide, the storm will find you! It will break apart everything you love!

No one can run away! You cannot run away!

Go into the eye of stormHowever, you can run into.. you can run into this storm.

Yes! I am asking from you to not be in your right mind. I am asking from you to do the one thing that seems craziest! I am asking from you to do the one thing everyone running away from the storm is most afraid of.. stop running.

“But the ones I love, the things I have, the treasures I’ve collected running away.. I am just getting good at running..”

Stop.

face the stormStop listening to your fears! Stop listening to what your doubts scream to your ears. Stop listening and feel.

Feel your fear. Feel your instinct trying to turn your attention away from the storm. Feel your mind screaming to you to start running away. Feel your darkness. Feel your light. Feel your emotions burning. Feel everything.

Bath in that feeling.

This is the storm catching up to you.

As close as it comes as strong urge to start running you’ll have. The emotions will become more and more chaotic, the fears and doubts inside your mind will start screaming louder and louder, the darkness and light will crash each other in and out of existence.

Panic Atack 1The storm will come close, closer than you ever thought you’ll be.

You must not turn away now. You must be courageous! You must go into the eye of the storm!

In the storm live your greatest enemies, your greatest fears, traumas, your suppressed memories, the worst sadness you’ve felt in your life, the greatest hurts, your losses, the unfairness.

demonsAll of these inner demons will rise to hunt you. They’ll first start to be visible, you’ll feel them, you will want to scream but you will be unable to move.

Hell will rise and surround you. You will feel like inside your worst panic attack unable to do anything. You will try to resist the storm with every fiber of your being. But don’t!

Stop resisting and keep moving deeper inside.

Let those demons surround you.

Look them in their ugly eyes and embrace them. Keep moving.

Let go of everything else. Just be. Be YOU and keep going.

Panic AtackYour fears and doubts will scream for you to stop but keep diving deeper.

HellEarth will shake, fire will burn, the sky will tremble and waves will crash from every direction but don’t you stop.

Keep going! Stop resisting and keep going!

Surrender to the storm and keep going!

Keep going!

Stop resisting the storm, embrace it, surrender..

Two hands preserve a green tree against a thunder-stormSuddenly the voices will start to fade. The burning of hurt will distinguish. The demons will seize to exist.

calmnessIn the eye of the storm you will find a calmness. A peace unlike any other. True peace.

In the midst of that storm you will find a place where the sky is visible and the sun shines. You will find the most pleasant warmth. You will find the truest happiness.

There will be no voices, no darkness, no light, no demons, no traumas and negativity. Just calmness.

For the first time in a VERY LONG TIME you will stop. You will rest. There will be no need of running away from anything anymore.

For the first time in a very long time you will feel safe. You will be HOME.

In the eye of the storm you will find the child you’ve lost. In the eye of the storm you will find yourself.

Leonardo DiCaprio Asks EVERYONE to Stop Pretending!

“I stand before you not as an expert but as concerned citizen.” is how Leonardo DiCaprio starts his speech at the opening of the UN Climate Summit 2014.

“As an actor I pretend for a living.” he continues.

“I pretend fictitious characters usually solving fictitious problems. I believe that mankind has looked at climate change in the same way. As if it were a fiction. As if pretending that climate change wasn’t real would somehow make it go away.”

There are no doubts anymore that climate change is real since a long time ago. There are countless facts proving this and we still turn our heads away.

Why?

Pollution 2Are we too scared to realize the consequences of our actions? Does it feel better for us to neglect this fact so we can continue living our “princess” lifestyles? Do we feel powerless maybe? Afraid? Could it be that we think it is already too late?

Pollution 3Those kind of thoughts will make it be too late. WE STILL HAVE A CHANCE! It is not too late yet! But it will be if we don’t accept this problem and then work together to clean our mess. We cannot afford to put it under the rug anymore! We must be better than that!

Nature 3Mother Earth is our HOME! You are not American, Canadian, Swedish, Irish, Italian, French, Macedonian, Turkish, Chinese, Korean, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, White, Black, Yellow, Red, Young, Old, Rich, Poor, Owner or a Worker!

Before all that you are EARTHLING! You live on EARTH! You depend of EARTH!

If we don’t change what we do and how we think of ourselves, if we are not courageous enough to accept this fact and work all individually together on solving it EARTH will still keep on living! But we won’t!

[Tweet ““Nature doesn’t care about good or bad, Nature only cares about balance and imbalance.””]

Climate ChangeIf it finds imbalance Nature will tend to re-balance it by removing what creates the imbalance. Who do you think is on the naughty list?

Technology and NatureIf we don’t learn to integrate our technology and lifestyle with Nature we will destroy ourselves by going against a system much larger than ourselves.

“We can make history or we can be vilified by it!”

“THIS IS THE MOST URGENT OF TIMES AND THE MOST URGENT OF MESSAGES! Honored delegates, leaders of the world, I pretend for a living, BUT YOU DO NOT!”

“Now it is your turn!”

“The time for change is now”

[Tweet ““WE BEG OF YOU TO FACE IT WITH COURAGE AND HONESTY. Thank you.””]

Kid Laughing In NatureI beg for all of humanity to face it with COURAGE and HONESTY. Accept the responsibility! Why deprive the next generations of the beauty EARTH offers? Why frown the faces of our children instead of see them smiling on the sunshine chasing butterflies upon the green grass?

Nature 4Humanity still wants to live on EARTH! We still do! But we must prove to EARTH that we can clean our mistakes. This responsibility is on all our backs no matter who made the mess. We are all responsible for one another because we are all cells of this larger organism we call Humanity! We are one!

So here are some ways you can help humanity keep the place on EARTH!

  1. NatureSHARE THE AWARENESS!
  2. SAVE ON ELECTRICITY!
  3. GROW AND EAT YOUR OWN FOOD!
  4. STOP USING PLASTIC!
  5. RIDE A BIKE!
  6. ORGANIZE CLEANING OF YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD!
  7. PLANT TREES!
  8. STOP LITTERING!
  9. Nature 5THINK EVERYDAY FOR 30 MIN OR 1 HOUR WAYS TO BENEFIT THE ECO SYSTEM!
  10. LOVE!
  11. PARTICIPATE IN ECO GROUPS!
  12. BE HONEST AND COURAGEOUS!
  13. SHARE THE AWARENESS ONCE AGAIN SO THE LARGE COMPANIES UNDERSTAND!
  14. THINK OF YOUR OWN WAYS AND SHARE THEM WITH PEOPLE!
  15. HONOR NATURE!

Please, if you think of something else comment it bellow so I can use it to be more eco friendly!
