Compressing of files is very handy when it comes to uploading and downloading files from internet. Apart from emailing and surfing, downloading files is the most popular activity among the net users. There are many places from where you can download files from. It could be from the software libraries, ftp directories, MP3 sites and also from the files sent to our email as attachments. Compression of files has become such a crucial activity to transfer files from one computer to another computer either on internet or directly. With file compression you can either compress a single file or a number of files into one compressed folder. This will help you to reduce the file or folder size for easy transfers. The compressed files can be transferred faster because of their smaller sizes. There are many file compressing programs available in the market but the most popular of the software is WinZip for windows and Stuffit for Mac platform computers. There are many software to compress the file sizes but they are not as popular as the WinZip for windows and Stuffit for Mac operating systems. With the compression software, big files can also be compressed and fragmented into smaller files without losing the data. There are many free uploading websites which allow a certain uploading size limits to the free users. You can easily upload the fragmented and compressed files to such websites. When someone downloads all the compressed parts and double-clicks on the first file, the files get joined again and the data is never lost. File compression is very easy with the compression software. You will need to right click on the file and you will get an option to create the compressed file depending upon the software you use. Normally the compressed file gets created in the same folder where the original file is found. However, you do have the option to customize the target folder to collect your compressed file. Decompressing is the process where you will extract the compressed files in order to access of view the file. You can do this process with 2 simple methods. You could create a new folder and then select all the archived or the compressed files and drag them to the new folder. Another method is the right click method. When you right click on the compressed file, you will get the option to extract the files. Again it could just extract the files to the same folder where the original file is found by default or you could even specify the folder where you want the extracted files to save. Compression of files or folders will help you in 2 ways. First advantage is that you will save space on your hard drive or on your webserver. The second advantage is that the files can be transferred more easily since the size is reduced.
How do you best release yourself from that which you fear, big or small?
What is the fastest, most effective way to overcome fear?
Well, I have a solution here for you that is very fast, very effective (in fact, it is guaranteed to work). You can apply it to all your fears, big or small.
Before I tell you how to do it, let us briefly look at some obvious characteristics of fear.
In terms of time, fear is future-based. In other words, if you look at any of your fears, they are always about something that isn't happening right Here, right Now at this exact moment. Fear cannot possibly exist about something that is in your present. It is always a, "What will happen to me if..." construct. Even if someone were to put a gun to your head right now, you would fear the possibility that in the very near future they will pull the trigger. That is why a threat is no longer effective once it is carried out. Fear is always about something that hasn't happened yet (it may be just about to happen, but it hasn't happened yet). You also don't fear things that have already happened, things that are in the past. So that is the time-based nature of fear, or worry.
In terms of space, fear is finite. It occupies a limited space with boundaries. If you focus on that area only, fear can encompass your entire attention to the point that all you are thinking about is your fears and you completely forget that life has many more things that are far greater that the limited item you fear. If you step back a little, you will see the bigger picture, and your fear will lessen simply because your attention will not be 100% on your fear. Imagine that you have 100 attention units to dedicate. If you dedicate all 100 to that which you fear, you will be encompassed by your fears. If you step back and look at the bigger picture, you will automatically be dedicating less attention units to that which you fear.
Now, let us complete the technique. How do you best release yourself from that which you fear, big or small?
What is the fastest, most effective way to overcome fear?
It is as simple as this: adjust your space-time perspective. That's it. If you mess with the space-time characteristics of your fear, you will automatically denature it.
Here is the exact way of doing that, step-by-step:
Step 1: Draw whatever you fear into the Here, Now.
For example, let us assume that you are worries about losing your job or your spouse. That is a future event. Now, pretend that it has happened already. That instantly eliminates your having to dodge it, to avoid it. It enables you to stop fighting to avoid it happening. So, close your eyes and completely pretend it has happened already. That which you fear is no longer in the future, but it has now happened already.
Step 2: Feel the feelings you would feel assuming it has happened.
Is it shame, anger, vulnerability, grief, embarrassment? What feelings would you feel if it happens? As you draw the future into the present and fully pretend it has happened allow yourself to feel absolutely everything that you imagine you would feel if that which you fear actually happened. Whatever it is you are avoiding feeling if that which you fear were to happen, feel it now.
Step 3: Accept it and yourself.
This is the key step. Now that it has happened, accept things as they are, and accept yourself as you are. Stop dodging, pretending or trying to change life. Just accept. Look inwards and say, "Jane (or whatever your name is), you are a worthy, good, acceptable person as you are, even as these things have happened, and I am proud to be you and happy to know you and spend my life with you. I accept you as you are, and I accept life as it is, and I accept these feelings as they are."
Step 4: Embrace the unknown.
One of the key features of fear is that you are afraid of what will happen if that which you fear comes to be. Solve this problem by simply embracing the unknown. Admit that life is larger than what you know, and that what you don't know isn't a dangerous thing necessarily, even though your fears may tell you it is. The unknown is your friend. Tell yourself that even if you don't know what lies in the unknown, and you will never know until you pass through it, you will be able to go through it OK, even if you don't know how. Life will just happen. Feel the fear but do it anyway.
I guarantee you that if you follow this formula you will be amazed at its effectiveness. Just try it on the little fears at first and practice and practice and practice until you can easily apply it on any fear of any size at any time, automatically. Practice makes perfect. At first it may be hard but in time you will become fearless.
