    “An adult biting nail in front a crowd can be much more than just bad habit. It can be chronic stress…..” 
    Humans will think as long as they have a functioning brain. And that is good; adults need to think for better living, better performance and overall better quality of life. But what if over thinking starts to affect mental balance? What if individuals forget to have fun due to the constant fear of the future? What if life becomes a burden for a man or woman due to over analyzing every situation? This is stress. Thinking is acceptable and good, but stress is not. Stress makes life miserable. Stress kills the joy of life.  Stress is the main reason why some adults cannot deal it anymore and kill themselves.  
    Stress can happen due to many reasons. Stress can happen because of an incurable illness; stress can happen due to the weak financial situation, a broken relationship can also cause stress. Whatever the reason is living with stress is not good. Stress can cause depression. And depression may force a healthy person to attempt suicide.  
    No one can be happy all the time; there will be problems. But adults must learn to deal with problems without bringing stress to their lives.

    A guided meditation designed to help you become your lightest, brightest, freest self. The secret to being anxiety free doesn’t come from eating the right foods or reading the next, best self-help book.In fact, the key to being anxiety free is not a physical game at all.It is a MIND game.Want to be less stressed? You’ll need to shift your mindset.Stress kills. Managing our stress levels and our anxiety is therefore primordial to our health.This guided meditation will help you stop stressing and reduce the negative mental chatter so that you can finally be peaceful and free.Stress Relief  comes with two valuable ‘extras’:1.	2 different endings.

And I’m really glad you are here!As a business owner who has made millions and a Life Success coach who has coached dozens of ambitious women (and some men), I believe very strongly that success is just as much about ‘how you think’ as it is ‘what you do’.Success is first and foremost an Inside Job.I have seen it in my own life.I’ve seen it with the entrepreneurs and industry leaders I have worked with whose lives have been wildly transformed just by changing their thoughts and then taking actions on those new beliefs.Let’s face it. We have a lot on our plate. And those of us who are running our own businesses even more so.We are giving so much to the world around us.But things won’t shift until we get those birds on our shoulders to stop the negative chitchat.And the best fastest way to cut the self-doubt in its tracks is through meditation.And I make doing meditation dead easy.My MOVE collections are guided meditations.You don’t have to learn the ‘ins and outs ’of meditation.

    In 1787, British philosopher and social reformer Jeremy Bentham conceived of the panopticon, a ring of cells observed by a central watchtower, as a labor-saving device for those in authority. While Bentham's design was ostensibly for a prison, he believed that any number of places that require supervision—factories, poorhouses, hospitals, and schools—would benefit from such a design. The French philosopher Michel Foucault took Bentham at his word. In his groundbreaking 1975 study, Discipline and Punish, the panopticon became a metaphor to describe the creeping effects of personalized surveillance as a means for ever-finer mechanisms of control.
     
    Forty years later, the available tools of scrutiny, supervision, and discipline are far more capable and insidious than Foucault dreamed, and yet less effective than Bentham hoped. Shopping malls, container ports, terrorist holding cells, and social networks all bristle with cameras, sensors, and trackers. But, crucially, they are also rife with resistance and prime opportunities for revolution. The Inspection House is a tour through several of these sites—from Guantánamo Bay to the Occupy Oakland camp and the authors' own mobile devices – providing a stark, vivid portrait of our contemporary surveillance state and its opponents.
