5 Second Abs for the Toilet

The other day I received an email from a 48-year

old man who complained of not being able to move

his bowels on a regular basis.

“The machine isn’t working the way it used to. Maybe

I need some lubrication,” he wrote. “Any exercises you

recommend for this situation. Or is this just something

I have to live with.”

The answer: No, this is not something you have to live

with. Here is what you do:

1. Make a decision that you will regain healthy bowel

function.

You may think this an unnecessary step – yet I assure

you that trying to solve this issue without making a

decision to replace it with something better, leaves the

door wide open for a repeat performance of bad times.

2. Pay attention to the foods that are clogging your

pipes. Pizza, pasta, white flour, pastries, breads,

beans and other starches are often times interfering

with regularity.

3. Consume more fruits, vegetables and other high-

fiber foods.

4. Drink plenty of water.

5. Practice deep breathing exercises – especially those

in which you combine abdominal flexing with the breathing.

To learn how to do this properly, be sure to pick up a copy of

Combat Abs – http://mattfurey.com/combat_abs.html –

wherein I teach the Farmer Burns Stomach Flattener and

another exercise that helps blowtorch excise flab from your

waistline while also greatly improving your digestion.

People who thought I was joking about “the toilet” before

doing these exercises were totally surprised after they

tried them. Doing the deep breathing exercises in Combat

Abs is like having your hands on “Cosmic Fiber.” And this

type of Fiber can be even more powerful than that which comes

from food.

You cannot exercise your abs the way I teach without

simultaneously giving your innards a deep and thorough

massage. And when your intestines get jostled and massaged,

they perform better – just like the muscles of your body.

There are many other benefits to doing the Farmer Burns

Stomach Flattener – which you can read about in the

1914 by-mail course put out by the Farmer himself, by

going to http://mattfurey.com/farmerburns.html – it’s

part wrestling and part physical culture training – and

the info on the physical culture exercises is still valid

and worth its weight in platinum.

Even if you don’t think you have an issue with moving

your bowels – you may be mistaken. Ask yourself, how

long after each meal do you typically move your bowels.

If you’re not “getting up to go” 30 minutes after your meal,

then you better get your hands on Combat Abs –

Learn how to exercise and breathe in the certain way that

yield results – and your toilet will be back in business.

Forget Time Management

A lot of people use the term “time management” –

but there’s really no such thing.

You cannot manage time – nor can you control it.

You can only choose to do or not do certain things.

That’s it.

Sort of like the sun. You cannot manage or control

the sun – or the moon. But you can choose to be

outdoors in view of it – or indoors out of view.

You’ve probably become accustomed to hearing

other people (and quite possibly yourself) saying,

“There’s not enough time in the day” or “I don’t

have any time.”

Since when are we the decider on how much time

there should be in each day. And how can you not

have any time.

Time and energy are all we have. You either use them

to the full – for things that matter to you – or you use

them for anything that grabs your attention at the

moment.

Saying “there’s no time” is like saying “there’s no muney.”

There are always plenty of both. Depends on your view.

And not your view on the outside. It depends upon how

you see things on the inside.

The next time you think there’s a shortage of time – or

think that you need to manage time – change your

mental picture to the following:

“I have time to do what is most important to me.”

Now, you may be wondering if I have a “system” that

helps me get everything that’s important to me done.

I sure do – and I can assure you it’s not one of those

“planners” you see people lugging around.

If you’re interested in learning my system of “Time

Useage” – drop a line and let me know.

Five Second Abs in the Shower

Last week I wrote about doing abdominal exercises while

at a stoplight or while flying across the country. Or from

country to country.

All you need to do is follow the advice of Farmer Burns

and spend 2-5 seconds flexing your abs in a certain way

whilst combining it with deep breathing. This alone can

change your midsection… and quickly, too.

Today I am going to reveal another place where you can

work your abs. And if you haven’t already guessed the

‘where and when’ – let me make it crystal clear: it’s the

shower.

Get under the shower, relax and let the water pour over y

our nekked body. Inhale deeply and give your abs the five

second treatment. Do it again and again. Ten reps of five

seconds per day will do wonders for your digestion, your

circulation, your energy, your overall health… and of perhaps

the greatest delight to you, your waistline.

This exercise really, really works. And how much time do you

need for it when you combine it with activities you’re already

doing. I would think your body is worth five seconds of

exercise, don’t you.

Be sure to get a copy of Combat Abs.

Go to http://mattfurey.com/combat_abs.html and get the

details down correctly.

My Wife Doesn’t Believe It

Last night I received the following email from a

reader in India. It’s got SUCCESS written all over

it. Read and see why:

Dear Matthew

I too would like to tell you my experience with my eight-year

old son, Mehul, in far away India.

In India we have a ranking system in school. Mehul stood

eighth rank in the first term exams. During that time i was

reading Psycho-Cybernetics and I trusted that this book

will surely make him leap to the first rank. So from the

very next day i asked him to meditate for only 10 minutes.

He was to visualize that the principal of the school called

out his name for the first rank and he was going ahead

to pick the trophy. i asked him visualize in vivid details

everything – the smile on his friends face, the standing

ovation he got etc.

He too believed in this idea and never missed a single day

of visualization. You won’t believe it the class teacher called

and informed us just before the third term was to start that

Mehul has stood first in his class.

I would like to add that he still continues his visualization

without missing even a single day and his performance in

all the spheres has been top class. He was a timid introverted

boy and now people don’t believe whether he is the same guy.

He is developing into a talented dancer when before he was

not able to stand in front of an audience.

i don’t understand when it is so easy to make a eight year

old boy understand the power of visualization, the grown

ups are so skeptical and doubtful when I suggest this

technique. I feel they fear success more then anything

else.

My wife has seen this transformation but when i suggest

it to her turn to try this great method she does not seem

enthusiastic. It will be many more times more effective for

her but i am not able to convince her.

Matthew will you be able to help her.

Regards,

Manoj

MJF: Manoj, first off, I commend you for the positive influence

you are having on your son. Now that he is in the top rank it

is important to continually emphasize to him that the journey

is, in truth, more important than the rank. If he continually

puts forth his best effort, and does not need to be motivated

by external awards, if he is inspired rather than motivated, I

think you and he will both be all the better for it.

As for your wife, it is not your job to make sure she believes

everything you believe or that your son believes. Continue to

love her and support her even if she never opens to these

teachings. YOU and you alone are under your control. Your

son took to visualization because he wanted to. You’ve been

the guide – yet he could have refused to be open, too, if he

wanted.

If you always remember to ask yourself, when frustrated,

what is and what isn’t under your control; what is and

what isn’t your business – I believe you’ll enjoy even more

moments of inner peace and happiness than you now

experience.

Best to you and your family. And thank you for writing to let

me know how everything is going with your son.

P.S. Get your TRUMP “CARD” – your ticket to success in all

that is important to you – http://psycho-cyb.com/trump_card.html

America, the Obese-iful

I love America. And I love American people.

I do have to admit, however, it’s getting harder

and harder to wrap your arms around this

country and its people.

We used to call people fat. Now we use the

word ‘obese.” Very soon the word obese will

need replacing with something else that

describes us better.

The basic issue underlying all the fatness

is bad thinking followed by bad habits.

It begins with a lack of pride and a lack of

self-respect.

Instead of having a desire to be better today

than you were yesterday – people think they’re

doomed to be worse tomorrow than they are today.

That’s wrong thinking.

That’s believing in death and disease more than life

and good health.

To counter the way of fatness and self-pity, begin

with your thinking. Begin imagining yourself to be

better than you are right now. Say to yourself, “Today,

I’m going to give it everything I’ve got. I’m going to do

my best.”

Then, instead of lazing on the couch – you make an

appointment with yourself to exercise each day.

You do something each and every day to challenge yourself.

In doing so you improve yourself in ALL areas of your life. When

your body is in better condition, you think faster, you get more done,

you’re happier, healthier – and no, I’m not kidding, wealthier.

Some time ago, after doing the Royal Court, as shown in my

international best-seller, Combat Conditioning (to order go

to http://mattfurey.com/conditioning_book.html } I went out-

side to jump some rope. I hadn’t jumped in quite a while so

I set a modest goal of 1,000 jumps – using a rope I call –

“the green monster” – which is much heavier than the

standard ropes.

Now, 1,000 jumps with this rope is no easy task. It blitzes

your entire body – including your grip, forearms, shoulders

and so on.

When I got to 200 jumps the thought of quitting entered my

mind. But I knew I had more in me, so after a break, I continued.

I kept pushing myself until I finished all 1,000 jumps. I looked

at my stop watch. 15:34.

The next evening I went outdoors and did the same workout. I

cranked out 200, then took a quick rest. Then did 100. Another

quick rest. 50 more. And so on.

I pushed myself to do better than I did the day before. And when

I knocked out the 1,000th repetition, the stop watch read: 12:05.

Today, beating either of these numbers is easy.

Now, in case you think I’m impressed with this, I’m not. My focus

is on giving my workout everything I’ve got. Somedays I may not

be able to jump as fast as others. Or I may be much faster. The

real issue is how hard did I try in each workout. My focus is on

THIS WORKOUT – to-DAY.

Many people set goals that are “result driven.” This means they want

to get to a certain weight – or be able to do a selected number of

pushups or pull-ups.

It’s good to have result goals. But it’s also good to have “being” goals.

The focus is on WHO you are going to BE when you train – not on what

you are going to get. Your mind is on the journey – not the destination.

Afterall, if the journey is more important than the “end” – then why so

much focus on the end.

Why not have the beginning and end of your journey be the same. The

circle that meets – no beginning – no end.

Focus your mind on the journey – on being totally in the moment in

this workout.

Give it everything you’ve got. And watch the results stack higher than

ever before.

P.S. BTW, if you’d like to get the green heavy jump rope – or some

others that are fabulous – go to http://lifelineusa.com – tell ’em the

What We’re Teaching Kids Today

The other day, John, a member of my Psycho-Cyb

coaching program, sent me the following note:

Matt,

My 9 year old grandson has been having some trouble

in school over the last few months. My wife and daughter

were offering the usual threats/incentives. I took a different

tack. I told him that every morning when he gets out of bed

to imagine he is holding a HUGE report card that fills the room

and that there are A’s and B’s on it.

Also, that there’s all sorts of people who want to high five

him for the good grades. And to jump around the room

high fiving all those people. You should see the smile

on his face as he thinks about it.

Friday, I go over to his house to pick him up for the

weekend and right away he pulls me over to show

me his work book for the week. He says “Papa, I’ve

been magining.”

And the papers he showed me ALL SHOW IMPROVEMENT.

Matt, I love this little boy more than I’ve loved anyone

in the whole world. There’s no words that allow me to

thank you enough for teaching me how to help him.

John

MJF: John, the pleasure is all mine. What we teach young

children is incredibly important. And as you’ve said, it

all starts in the ‘magination.

Let me tell you a similar story with my son, Frank.

On Saturday Frank was getting ready for his

final soccer game of the year. It’s his first year in this

sport while many of the other kids in the league are

already in their third and fourth season. So Frank has

had a lot of catching up to do.

Before Saturday’s game, for the entire season, Frank

had only scored three goals. I told Frank that this number

was nothing to be ashamed of. Most important was that

he try his hardest; that he put forth his best effort, win or

lose, every time he plays.

Then I told him that the three goals he’d made were successful

experiences he could draw energy from and re-create,

over and over.

He asked how, so I guided him through a very quick

visualization, reliving the three goals he made. Then

I told him to imagine scoring one goal after another.

He did this for five minutes or so.

That was it.

Well, guess what happened in the game. Frank scored

a goal.

But not just one goal.

And not just two.

He scored THREE goals in the same game.

Young children’s minds are wide open to the power of

suggestion. When you teach them how to imagine, how

to visualize, the results can come FAR, FAR FASTER than

adults who are skeptical and filled with doubt and fear.

Reminds me of the Bible passage on how we must become

like little children to enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

Matthew Furey

The Lombardi Philosophy

Earlier today I came across the following that I want

to share with you:

“One of the first self-help books I ever read was Psycho-

Cybernetics by Dr. Maxwell Maltz. It had a profound

effect on me, and I was pleasantly surprised when I

found a copy of the book – underlined and dog-eared

– in my father’s library after he passed away. I’m convinced

that many of the concepts and ideas that formed my father’s

coaching philosophy – including focusing on the successful

effort while putting an error quickly out of mind – came from his

reading of Psycho-Cybernetics.”

Vince Lombardi, Jr. –

from The Essential Vince Lombardi – Words & Wisdom to Motivate,

Inspire & Win

your life for the better.

If you have, then start learning the deeper secrets that catapult

Psycho-Cybernetics into the stratosphere. Get a copy of the

Matt Furey

Hey, I Made a Mistake

One of the things that separates what I teach and what

Dr. Maltz taught about “mind power” is the importance

of making mistakes.

If you read the words of so many of today’s “thinkers” on

subjects like the Law of Attraction – you’ll find that there

is rarely any talk about mistakes or failure.

People then develop the notion that if they’re making mistakes

or failing – that they’re “attracting” it. In some cases this is most

definitely true.

But you’ve got to look at the bigger picture to see the bigger

truth.

Mistakes are HOW we learn everything we know. From learning

to crawl, walk, run, talk and feed ourselves. We make mistakes

and correct course until the only thing your brain remembers

is the “right” way to do something.

You learned to write by making mistakes.

You learn to become a great athlete the same way.

Getting back to the metaphor Dr. Maltz so ably used – missile

technology – a torpedo is “off target” most of the time on the

way to its pre-programmed destination.

So are you and that’s the way it’s supposed to be. That’s the

way you succeed.

And so, if you’re afraid of making mistakes – if you keep yourself

from doing because you’re worried you may do the wrong thing –

then take comfort in the words of Elbert Hubbard, who said:

“The greatest mistake a man can make is to be afraid of making

one.”

Oh, how true.

This does not mean that you deliberately make mistakes. You’ll make

plenty without trying to do so. But when you make a mistake, instead

of whining or pouting about it, make a note and determine how to

correct course. Most importantly, keep moving.

On top of the above, rejoice when you make a mistake. You’re now

one or more steps closer to your goal.

Matthew Furey

P.S. All TRUMP CARDS are being mailed this weekend. My apologies

for the delay. The first rendition of this special report was 4400

words. When I received it from Vinnie, the guy who laid it out for

me, I read it and declared it “not good enough yet.” There was so

much more I wanted to say. This, to me, was a mistake. I gladly

got back to the piece and when I made the final period, it was

7990 words. Almost double. The result of me catching my mistake

brought forth something a whole lot better. Hope you feel the

same way – http://psycho-cyb.com/trump_card.html

6 New Books in 2008

Earlier this year I set a goal to have three new

books written and published this year. I now

realize this goal was far too wimpy – so

yesterday I upgraded to six.

Although I’m not ready to reveal the titles of each

of these books just yet – I will tell you they run the

gamut from physical fitness to self-realization/

development to wrestling to Internet marketing.

Two – and quite possibly three of the six will be

ready by May.

Anyway, that’s the latest from Furey Central.

What about YOU.

Are you moving forward in 2008 – setting goals for

yourself – and making sure you fulfill them.

If not, consider this: The average person watches

1669 hours of television per year. Divide this by

24 and you have 69.54 days spent before the

idiot box.

Or, put another way, the average person spends

4.57 hours per day watching other people who

are achieving their goals.

Don’t see what I’m saying about watching t.v as

100 percent wrong. Some television is a good

thing – me thinks. At the same time, 4,57 hours

a day is out of control. And that is the “average.”

Some people spend 8-10 or more hours per day

before the box.

Today my son has a day off from school. He grabbed

the control and turned on the t.v. around 8 a.m. I

immediately let him know he was not going to spend

the whole day before the set. I told him to turn it off.

He did.

At the end of today he’s going to be able to say he

accomplished something.

When you watch tee-vee – what can you say you

accomplished.

All of this is important because the masses will tell you

they are busy, that they don’t have time to workout,

to pursue a new career, to learn a foreign language,

to read, and so on.

As for myself, I rarely have time to watch tee-vee. I

rarely have time to read the newspapers. I rarely have

any idea whatsoever about what is going on in the

“world.”

I am continually looking at what I’ve gotten done lately.

Are you.

The greatest joy in life comes from creating something

new; bringing something into being that didn’t exist

before.

I’ve done a fair amount of creating over the last 12 years –

but there is so much more to do. And I’m “on it.”

Take time to think about what you’d like to create in this

lifetime. Put it in writing – then get started doing it.
