What the heck is Web 3.0 and theTRAFFICplan?
It's Web 1.0 + Web 2.0 = WEB 3.0
As you know, Web 1.0 was simply an acronym for eCommerce. Back then, retail stores wanted to do business on the internet rather than just using expensive retail storefronts. Many saw the power of the internet to attract an entirely new audience that may not have had the chance to visit their store in person. This would without doubt give them access to more potential customers for less cost.
Web 2.0, in its simplest definition and use today, has become an acronym for the everyday person's ability to communicate and collaborate globally using Social Networking. It has made things more user friendly to us, and as such, companies have come to embrace these new design and communication formats to engage with their customers.
Web 3.0 brings these two worlds together for the average person to be able to harness the power of the internet to begin to profit with multiple streams of income online by introducing products and services to their groups of followers (also known as their list and also as their tribe).

The Best Oil for Your Health (and You've Never Heard of It)
By Kelley Herring
If you think all vegetable oil is created equal, think again.
In fact, if you're using the wrong oils in your cooking, you could be aging faster than you should, developing serious hormonal problems, "gumming" up your pipes, and even encouraging cancer.
Today, I'd like to introduce you to one of the healthiest oils you can eat - avocado oil.
Here are four good reasons to stock up on this age-defying ingredient:
- Trim your tummy. Avocado oil is one of the richest sources of monounsaturated fats on the planet. These healthy fats help lower insulin (aka, the fat storage hormone) and help reduce belly fat.
- Saute safely. Thanks to having a flashpoint of 500 degrees F, this full-flavored oil is excellent for cooking at high temperatures.
- Up your antioxidants. Avocado oil enables your body to absorb 17 times more carotenoids - the powerful antioxidants that give your salad its vibrant green, yellow, and red colors and guard your cells from free radical damage.
- Guard your vision. Avocado oil has twice as much lutein as olive oil. Lutein is a nutrient that provides strong protection against macular degeneration - the leading cause of blindness.
With so many delicious uses - and so many reasons to use it - you need to make this "miracle" oil a mainstay in your healing kitchen. Look for the Olivado brand at Target.
[Ed Note: Most so-called "healthy" oils are loaded with free radicals, just waiting to be drizzled on your salad so they can attack your DNA. But if you're a savvy shopper, you can spot them from a Texas mile. Kelley Herring's new book, Your Plate, Your Fate, will show you how.]
Hope you enjoyed Kelley's article, I'm heade to Target!!

High Blood Pressure? Get More of This Mineral
By Kelley Herring
High blood pressure? Drop the mercury a notch by getting more potassium in your diet.
In a recent scientific review published in the Journal of Clinical Hypertension, researchers evaluated the literature for blood pressure studies on potassium, calcium, and magnesium. While all three of these nutrients help lower blood pressure, potassium was found to be of special importance. In fact, those getting the most potassium in their diets had the healthiest blood pressure levels.
It isn't just that Americans consume too little potassium (about half the recommended daily allowance), but also that we get too much sodium (about twice the RDA). Because potassium and sodium have opposing roles in the body, too much sodium and too little potassium is a recipe for high blood pressure.
Here are three ways to help get your blood pressure into a healthy range:
- Steer clear of processed foods and plain table salt. Base your meals on fresh, whole foods and choose to season with herbs and spices. When you do use salt, use Celtic Sea Salt - a pure, natural salt that provides a balance of minerals, not just sodium.
- Enjoy more potassium-rich foods like avocados, beans, lentils, Swiss chard, spinach, and cremini mushrooms.
- Because most whole-foods multivitamins provide very little potassium, consider taking a potassium supplement (like potassium citrate) to get the 4.7 grams per day recommended by the Institute of Medicine.

Summer-Ready Body in 10 Minutes a Day - No Gym Required!
By Yarixa Ferrao
Don't tell me you feel embarrassed to put on a bathing suit... and then tell me you don't have time for exercise. That's NOT a good excuse. You can do a high-intensity workout in less than 10 minutes. Better yet, you can do it at home or in your office, between meetings, while the laundry is drying, or after lunch. All it takes is a dynamic warm-up, 3 to 4 full-body exercises, and a couple of minutes of stretching afterward.
The Squat-to-Press is one quick and efficient exercise that will get your body ready to hit the beach in no time. It requires two dumbbells - 3, 5, or 10 pounds, depending on your fitness level. Focus on your core while you do it, keeping your abdominals tight.
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and a dumbbell in each hand. Bend your arms up toward your shoulders, palms facing toward each other. Lower your body into a squat position. Your knees should not bow out over your toes. Your chest should almost touch the top of your thighs, and your elbows should nearly touch your knees.
Now, pressing up through your heels, rise to a standing position. At the same time, reach your arms up straight above your head. Contract your glute muscles at the top of the movement. Then return to a squat position, lowering your arms to their original position. Repeat 10 times.
Alternate high-intensity, full-body exercises like the Squat-to-Press with sprints (1-10 sets of 50 to 100 yards) for the next 4 to 6 weeks, 3 to 6 times a week. If you're a beginner, start with 1-2 sets 3 days a week and gradually increase by adding either an extra set or an extra sprint each week for the next 4 to 6 weeks.

Relaxed Mind - Relaxed Body
By Matt Furey
It is imperative that you learn to relax, physically and mentally.
Why is this? Because a mind that is filled with stress cannot easily transfer a positive mental picture to your subconscious.
The good news is that regardless of how much stress you feel, you can learn to relax very quickly. Regardless of how much of yesterday you are carrying into today, you can get yourself to emotionally unwind and let go within seconds.
One of the fastest ways is to pay attention to your breathing.
Watch yourself breathe. Inhale deeply. Pay attention to the air filling your lungs. Exhale deeply. Feel the bad energy leaving your body.
After a few deep breaths you'll wonder where all the mental stress went - and once you get your muscles to simply "let go," you're ready to work on improving your self-image. You're ready to begin building the NEW YOU - the person you instinctively know you can be, the person you really really want to be.
It's a great idea to visualize the new you for a few minutes just before dropping off to sleep. But be careful. Avoid the temptation to lie down for your "Theatre of the Mind" session. Sit up in bed or on the side of the bed with your feet on the floor. This will help you avoid falling asleep before you get to the highlights.
If you visualize before you fall asleep your subconscious mind will work on your goals while you're in a dream state. And that's a wonderful thing to know.
If you doubt that what you think about before sleep will have an effect on you the next day, consider this. Most people go to bed with a final thought of "I'm tired." Hence, they wake up tired.
The very first time you say to yourself, "Tomorrow I'm going to wake up feeling totally energized and refreshed" - you will discover that you no longer wake up feeling tired.
Try it if you don't believe me. I dare you.
Here's another example of how you bring ideas into your dream state:
Yesterday I was practicing my kung fu form in the park. When I got halfway through, I had a surprising revelation. I remembered how I was practicing some improvements I wanted to make in my form while in my dream state. And there I was, doing my form in the waking state with the improvements in place.
I didn't consciously try to make those improvements. They happened subconsciously while I was dreaming and carried over to my waking state.
Made me wonder... in which state am I getting more accomplished?
[Ed. Note: Want to get more accomplished while you sleep as well as while you're awake? Then latch onto the powerful, dynamic, and magnetic self-image exercises in Zero Resistance Living. This program will change your life... FAST. Go here and order NOW.

Does Being "Slightly" Overweight Matter?
By Jon Benson
"It's just a few extra pounds."
Or is it?
In the 2008 Physician's Health Study, researchers tracked 21,094 male doctors for two decades. They found that even those who were only modestly overweight had a higher risk for heart disease, and the risk grew along with the amount of extra weight.
The average age of the men at the outset of the study was 53. During the study, 1,109 of them developed heart failure. Overall, the risk of heart failure increased by an average of 180 percent in those who met the definition of obesity as measured by body mass index (with a BMI of 30 or higher), and by an average of 49 percent in those who met the definition of overweight (with a BMI of 25 to 30).
And what about "all those hours" needed for exercise?
Yet another myth busted by the study: "As far as vigorous physical activity is concerned, even if somebody said they exercised one to three times per month - which is a very low level of exercise - they had an 18 percent reduction in the risk of heart failure after accounting for all other established risk factors," said head researcher Dr. Satish Kenchaiah.
It's time to get serious about losing that little bit of flab. Long-term studies like this one show how beneficial it can be.
[Ed. Note: Fitness expert Jon Benson's 7 Minute Muscle program is by far the shortest workout you can do to reap the greatest rewards. Try it for yourself risk-free for 60 days right here.

Change Your Pace
By Matt Furey
One of the best things you can do when you exercise is vary the pace.Sometimes you train as fast as you can - provided you can do it with good form. You run hill sprints. You skip rope. You crack out a set of powerful push-ups.Sometimes you train at a moderate speed - walking, swimming, bear crawling, or duck waddling.
At other times you train at a slow or even super-slow speed. You concentrate on the FEEL of the exercise - inside your body as well as in your muscles.
And just for the thrill of it, you even train at no speed - holding postures while focusing on your breathing and the flow of energy.
Recently, I taught a group of men and women my "No-Rep Workout."
That's right. NO REPS.
What you do is get into a horse stance or the wall chair position and hold it while breathing in a specific way.
Then you get into push-up position and hold yourself in the halfway-down position.
After this, you get into a back bridge (sometimes mistakenly referred to as a "neck" bridge). As you hold this position, you focus on your breathing and stay relaxed. And you feel your legs, your hips and buttocks, your lower and middle back, your neck as well as your abdominals get the workout of their life.
These three exercises have the power to change your physique very quickly. In fact, they can work so well that you may feel as if you'd turned fat into muscle - which we've been told is a biological impossibility.

3 Supplements That Can Help Treat Osteoarthritis
By Dr. Ray Sahelian
Over the past few years, there have been numerous studies regarding the role of glucosamine and chondroitin as a treatment for osteoarthritis. Most, but not all, show that these natural nutrients are beneficial, including a new Japanese study.
The Japanese researchers gave 46 osteoarthritis and 22 rheumatoid arthritis patients a combination supplement of 1,200 mg of glucosamine hydrochloride, 100 mg of chondroitin (from 300 mg of shark cartilage), and 45 mg of quercetin. The patients took the supplement orally, every day for three months. Those with osteoarthritis showed a significant improvement in pain symptoms, daily activities (walking and climbing up and down stairs), and changes in the synovial fluid properties. No such effects were observed in those with rheumatoid arthritis.
Quercetin supplements are available by themselves and can be taken together with a joint formula that has chondroitin and glucosamine.
[Ed. Note: For more on glucosamine, chondroitin, and quercetin - and dozens of other nutritional supplements - visit the natural healing website of Ray Sahelian, MD, at www.raysahelian.com. You can also purchase a joint-health supplement straight from Dr. Sahelian by clicking here.
You can find plenty of all-natural methods for staying healthy - including the latest breakthroughs in weight-loss programs... healthful recipes... and other ideas for achieving optimal health - all from one of the largest integrative-medicine practices in the country. Learn more here.]

3 Simple Steps to Lose Belly Fat for a Healthy Heart
By Craig Ballantyne
If you want to have a heart attack, drink a lot of soda, eat French fries, and build up a big old belly of fat. Studies have shown that hard belly fat, known as visceral fat, is the most dangerous fat of all. Researchers from the University of Michigan Department of Internal Medicine confirmed that your risk of cardiovascular disease is linked to the amount of belly fat you have. That nasty visceral belly fat secretes inflammatory compounds, and inflammation is associated with heart disease.If you have one of those hard bellies full of fat, you need to change in a hurry. Here's how to lose that belly fat in three simple steps.
First, start eating fewer calories than you need by eliminating sugars and foods that come in a bag or a box. Replace them with whole, natural foods, focusing on fruits, vegetables, and raw nuts.
Second, do short-burst exercises, focusing on total-body resistance training and interval training. Research shows that interval training is just as good as, if not better than, long cardio workouts for losing belly fat.
Third, get social support. You'll lose more belly fat if you exercise with a friend who is also losing belly fat, or if you spend time on weight-loss websites getting support from others on the forums.
[Ed. Note: No matter where you are in your weight-loss efforts, you don't need hours of cardio to get into tip-top shape. Learn how you can get fit with three 45-minute workouts a week with fitness expert Craig Ballantyne's Turbulence Training for Fat Loss program right here.

Calm Restless Legs With 3 Minerals
By Kelley Herring
Do you suffer from restless leg syndrome (RLS)? Until 2003, no one had heard of this "common yet under-recognized disorder" that keeps Americans awake at night.
In 2005, the FDA approved Requip, a dopamine agonist used to treat Parkinson's disease, for the treatment of moderate to severe RLS. In 2006, Mirapex, a similar drug, was released.
But what is the cause of restless leg syndrome? What is your body trying to tell you?
Well, it's not that you have a Requip or a Mirapex deficiency. It's that you're not getting enough calcium, potassium, and magnesium - the three minerals that affect muscle contraction and nerve transmission.
You can calm your legs naturally and get sound rest by ensuring you get enough of all three minerals. Opt for a daily dose of between 800 and 1,000 milligrams of calcium, 300 milligrams of potassium, and 500 milligrams of magnesium at bedtime.

How to Lose Fat Over the Weekend
By Craig Ballantyne
Another weekend, another two or three pounds of fat? No way! Doesn't have to work like that.
Here are two "real life" fitness techniques that can help you just say "NO" to gaining weight.
Weekend Fitness Strategy #1: Work out first thing in the morning.
There's nothing magical about training first thing in the morning. I don't believe it will help you lose fat faster than exercising at any other time of the day.
HOWEVER...
Exercising first thing in the morning gets it out of the way. And if you have a busy weekend coming up, complete with family visits and household chores, the truth is that the morning may be the only time you'll get a chance to burn belly fat.
Weekend Fitness Strategy #2: Do short-burst workouts with multi-muscle exercises.
You can train your entire body with just two exercises. For example, you could perform a quick, powerful workout just by doing dumbbell squats and push-ups.
The dumbbell squat trains your upper back and your lower body. The push-ups obviously train your chest and arms, but your torso (abs) as well. That's a complete workout right there.
Do 8-12 reps for squats and 15-30 reps for push-ups. Don't rest between exercises and keep going for 10 or 20 minutes, whatever you have time for. That'll hit all of your body's hot zones.
[Ed. Note: Extending your life and living out your years in tip-top health is really a matter of making simple lifestyle choices - like making sure you exercise even on the weekends. For more easy-to-implement ideas about how to live longer and feel better, click here.

Don't Sabotage Yourself With All-Nighters
By John Carlton
When you are writing on deadline (or creating a marketing plan, redesigning your website, etc.) and your energy is starting to falter... do not rely on coffee or "power" drinks to stay alert.
If you're really tired, take a nap. It's a tactic all top writers know about. Stuff your brain with info, then go sleep for 20 minutes and let your subconscious synthesize and data-mine everything. When you wake up (don't sleep longer than 20 minutes or you'll get groggy), you will often be amazed at what's suddenly ready to be written.
I've done my headlines this way for most of my career.
I never force myself to stay awake. If you do, you'll spend three hours grinding out crap you'll have to toss anyway. By grabbing some brain-satisfying shut-eye when you require it, you can be more productive in half an hour than you could hope to manage in three bleary-eyed hours of trying to coerce results.
[Ed. Note: Get more unconventional tips for supercharging your career at John Carlton's blog www.john-carlton.com.Power napping is a technique that works for John Carlton. But there are hundreds of other "secrets" you can use to get out of tough spots in Early to Rise's Unscrew Your Life newsletter. Sign up today.

Diabetes: How to Avoid the Odds
By James B. LaValle
The rate of Type II diabetes has almost doubled in the past 10 years, according to the results of a recent survey by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Alarmingly, the actual number of people with diabetes is probably higher, because the survey relied on people to self-report - and many are diabetic and don't even know it!
These results should not surprise us. The rate of Type II diabetes is bound to increase as Americans continue to gain weight and tip the scales toward obesity.
The scary truth is that by the time you reach age 60, you have a 1 in 3 chance of being diabetic. But you can avoid becoming a statistic by being aware of the warning signs and taking preventive action.
Take a look at your belly.
If your waist is bigger than your hips, you are insulin resistant and at increased risk, whether you are overweight or not. Losing weight is critical. But many times, stress is the biggest culprit in weight that is gained in the abdomen. So learn how to reduce or counteract the stress in your life.
Get your fasting blood sugar level checked.
Even levels below 100 mg/dL, once thought harmless, can forecast diabetes. For years, I have noticed that as blood sugar levels start to rise and no action is taken, it is usually a matter of WHEN, not IF, the person reaches the diabetic glucose level. Recent scientific research validates this observation. According to a landmark Kaiser-Permanente health plan study, blood glucose levels of 86 to 90 indicate an increased diabetes risk, levels of 90 to 94 indicate a 49 percent increased risk, and people with levels between 95 and 99 are 233 percent more likely to develop diabetes.
If your blood sugar is in an increased risk range, and especially if your waistline is growing, switch to a healthy low-carb diet.
Reduce sweets, grains, and other starches. And increase high-antioxidant, non-starchy vegetables, along with adequate protein and healthy fats.
Increase your intake of zinc, chromium, and magnesium.
These minerals can improve the effectiveness of insulin.
Start exercising.
[Ed. Note: Keeping your stress under control is one key to good health. For expert advice on how to stay stress-free, what to eat to stay fit, how to lose weight, and much more, sign up for ETR's free natural health e-newsletter.
It truly is possible to improve your health just by making wise choices when it comes to diet and lifestyle. James B. LaValle, RPh, ND, CCN - founder of the LaValle Metabolic Institute and a nationally recognized expert on natural therapies - can give you easy-to-understand directions for living the healthy life you've always wanted.

Is Feeling Sore Good?
By Jon Benson
Some people feel like they did not get a good workout unless they're sore the next day. Some carry this to an extreme: They get so sore they can barely move.In all honesty, I've had great workouts where I literally could not walk up a flight of stairs afterward. Had to sleep in the car once.Is this necessary for muscle growth? No. Soreness is an indicator that you have done damage to the muscle fibers.
That's okay - in fact, it's the purpose of weight training. But excessive soreness means you've done too much damage. That kind of damage can take too long to repair - and that gets you out of your workout rhythm.The ideal soreness is felt 1-2 days after a workout, where you are a bit tender but not in pain. The longer you train, the less of this soreness you may feel... and that, too, is okay.
The real indicator of a good workout is what you do in the NEXT workout. Do youprogress? Do you feel stronger?
Do you get a good pump in your muscles?If so, you're on the right track - sore or not.[Ed. Note: Jon Benson is a 3-time bestselling fitness author.

People who are Happy for No Reason incline their minds toward joy.
Have you noticed that your mind tends to register the negative events in your life more than the positive?
If you get 10 compliments in a day and one criticism, what do you remember?
For most people, it's the criticism.
Scientists call this "negativity bias" - primitive survival wiring that causes us to pay more attention to the negative than the positive.
To reverse this bias, get into the habit of consciously registering the positive around you: the sun on your skin, the taste of a favorite food, a smile or kind word from a co-worker or friend.
Then take a moment to savor it deeply and feel it.
Make it more than a brief mental observation. Spend 20 seconds soaking up the happiness you feel.

Attitude and Altitude, Higher and Higher
Draper here... Attitude and Altitude -- Higher and Higher
I'm a very busy person and my plate is full. Full of crumbs, that is. Perhaps if I scrape them together there'll bea sufficient heap of stuff to get me to the gym. Each crumb is aremnant of responsibility, need, desire, discipline and obligation,with a few flecks of inspiration along the edges. What's this? Yuk, amorsel of guilt. Trouble is, I don't have an appetite. However, I do have excuses: The gym is 30 minutes down the road, thetruck's dirty and the traffic stinks; it's cold, windy and greyoutside and my favorite T-shirt's in the washer; there's a newsletterto write and Mug's is curled up on my lap, purring. I'll go to the gym tomorrow. Crazy!
There was a time 50 years ago I had nothing I'd rather do thango to the gym! 40 years ago contests were coming up... off to the gym.30 years ago I ran the juice bar in the gym. 20 years ago I owned thegym. 15 years ago the gym owned me. 10 years ago I morphed into theBomber writing tales about the gym. Boom-Zoom. Today, "I'll go to the gym tomorrow." I don't think so.
I've heard rumors of people who did the ‘I'll-go-tomorrow' act andhaven't been seen or heard of since. Story goes they stepped too farfrom the pull of gravity and drifted into the worldly wastelands. Lifein the world minus the tug of iron is oft pointless and demoralizing;fattening and enfeebling. I exaggerate. It's not as if postponing a workout and your biceps shrivel up like prunes or your obliques hang down in gushy slabs overyour beltline or your butt wobbles and sags.
The absence of one training session does not result in the deterioration of your hard-earned musculature. It's scientifically impossible. Calm down,lighten up. Two workouts without the iron, however, and you're in big trouble;bloating, drooping and drooling are inevitable. Three and it's toolate, delirium and bed-wetting are not uncommon. Four, you're tabloid headlines... cute photos. And five, they forget your name; you becomea tube-fed number and are assigned a cot in Ward X. Dave who... the what? Never heard of him. I don't care if it's all in my mind. I miss a workout and I'm overcomewith anger, guilt and irrational behavior. I'm bitter and cruel oneminute and pouty and sad the next.
I pull on a baggy sweatshirt onlyto rip it off and replace it with a size-small black tanktop with I'm Bad slashed in red across the back. Laree says, "Hi, sweetheart." I say, "Don't start with me, wise-o." Later I say, "Do I look fat, honeybunny?" Then, I'm in the bathroom crying for no reason.
Laree, kettlebells in hand and pulling a weighted sled up the hill,just shakes her head and smiles when I'm bewildered and overcome with confusion grief. She hugs me and says with inevitability, "Have a smashing workout, ya crazy lug." She seats me in the pickup, aims itdown the hill, releases the emergency brake and I'm off to that place where the iron waits. What a trip.
I do not like to skip my workouts. I cannot afford to. Time is short.I only have 60 years invested in the action-packed sport, the first six or seven wasted on tag, kickball and the alphabet. Time is of the essence. Time is muscle. Time flys. Timeout for a shot of Bomber Blend. Yummy, Yummy, Good for your tummy... and good for your muscles, too.

We're told when lifting the iron is no longer appealing, when we'drather be changing a greasy truck transmission or undergoing a liver transplant, it's not the workout that's out of order, it's theattitude toward it. Iron is iron, it's lifeless. We, you and I who live and lift, are the problems, the troubled, the weak, the lost. Gee, thanks for the head trip. Another heavy load to carry, as if themetal wasn't enough. So now what? Attitudes are not fashionable or transformable like colorful balloons in the white-gloved hands of a party clown -- blow them up, stretchthem here, twist them there and tie them all together. Squeak, squeak,squeak... a happy face. It is, in fact, working out that transformsthe attitude.
Move that metal. Remember, missing a training session is not an option, unless you fallfrom a three-story window, take a bullet in the butt or are beamed upto Pluto ll. Not likely, nice try. The only solution toattitude-failure, training-ennui or workout let-go-sis is to drag yourself to the gym, burdens and all, and dump them when you getthere. Kerplunk! There's no load too heavy that a hearty workout won'tfix, moderate or eradicate. Push that iron. You can work seriously on your funky attitude before you heave theweighted bars, but why bother when in 10 minutes under their force themind is revived, riveted and recharging anyway.
Attitudes are unstablewavelengths. You can think positive, imagine life is neat, suggest toyour unconscious you will have a grand workout, but the fact is in theact. Lift that steel. I get a headache when I think positive. Besides being strenuous, it'slike admitting I'm negative and need a fix. Rather, I go straight forthe fix. I dash to the iron, grasp it by its neck and toss it aroundthe gym. Thud, crash, clank. It puts up a pretty good fight, even thelight stuff, but I always win. It's certain; even if I lose, I win.
We know the inside of a gym and the underside of a loaded bar. We knowthere was a time -- early childhood, or so it seems -- when planningour training was vitally important: the order of exercises, the setsand the reps. Today we know our training so well we can go by smell.The nose knows. Too much planning puts a tickle in me ole schnozolla. I can talk myself out of a good workout -- the greatest invigorator ofthe body, mind and soul -- by thinking too much about it. "I don'twant to go to the gym," is not a casual comment I share with myself.The cunning, whiny twit with his mouth full of gummy bears is limitedto the electrified fence on the far side of the crocodile-inhabited moat.
I'm succinct: Go gym – Plentiful rewards in powerful hands. No gym -- Tremendous burdens on trembling shoulders. Be there or be square. Or, probably, round... floppy in the wings,dumpy in the tail. This is your Captain speaking...Trim your ailerons, bombers, suck inthat fuselage... we're flying high... Godspeed... DD

Give it time.....
If you have been wrestling with a problem all day without making any apparent
progress, try dismissing it from your mind, and put off making a decision until
you've had a chance to 'sleep on it.' Remember that your creative mechanism works
best when there is not too much interference from your conscious 'I.'
