Are You Comfortable With Money?

What is the first thing that you think about when you think of money?

Is it lack of? Not enough? Fear? Worry?

What is the first feeling you have when you think of money?

Is it panic? Do you get a pit in your stomach?

Often when people think of money, or a situation arises around money, their first reaction is fear or panic.

In order to attract more money - or situations and opportunities to create more money, you must line up your mind and your emotions to match having money.

Thoughts and feelings of lack, worry, fear, panic, are not lined up. These types of thoughts and feelings are just the opposite.

To be lined up with having more money, our thoughts and feelings must be ones of having enough, abundance, gratitude, and joyful expectation.

So how do we switch from feeling fear or lack to abundance and gratitude when everyday we are facing not having enough?

For most people, trying to move from fear and worry to abundance and expectation when it comes to money is just too big of a jump. The emotional distance between the two is just too great so many people are not able to close the distance.

A way to close the gap is to get comfortable with the idea and the feelings of having money. And there is a way to do it without actually having to have a handful of money!

If you use your thoughts to imagine and visualize, over time you become more comfortable around the topic you are thinking about.

Including money!

As you become more comfortable around a topic, it seems more natural to you, and your belief level around the topic increases.

If you remember back when you were learning to ride a bike, at first it was hard and you had to focus intensely on what you were doing. But once you learned how to ride it became easy - natural.

Or remember when you were first learning to read. At first nothing made sense, it was hard and foreign. But again, once you knew how to read it became easy and natural. When you read now you can zip along without giving it any thought about how your mind is processing the words on the paper.

Or have you ever driven anywhere completely lost in thought and after you reached your destination you realize that you didn't even notice the drive. You got there on autopilot.

Once something becomes known to the subconscious mind, it becomes natural and easy. The same applies with money - create a new comfort zone around money in your mind and it becomes a way of life. Just like riding a bike.

So how do we become comfortable around money when we don't have any?

Start by relaxing and getting comfortable. Then create a movie in your mind around money that puts you and lots of money together in a fun and relaxed way.

Maybe you are in a bank vault tossing money into the air. Maybe you sitting in your living room surrounded by gold bars. Maybe you are in the back of a security truck full of money rolling around in it.

Or maybe your are having a 'money fight' - throwing rolls of million dollar bills at someone.

Whatever situation you make up make sure you make it fun, and make sure you are surrounded with lots and lots of money.

Replay your mind movie as often as you can. The more you imagine and visualize yourself with lots of money, the faster your mind with be more comfortable with the idea of lots of money.

And once your mind is comfortable around money, it will create a new belief about money, and heaven and earth will start to move to make your new belief a reality.

The Law of Attraction - Inspirational Quotes!

Much has been written about the Law of Attraction. I think the movie "The Secret" had a lot to do with that as well. When we are self-empowered, we feel inspired. Being inspired and in a sense of inspiration, can actually change lives and in many cases actually create miracles. I could write chapters around each of these quotes, but for now ...

Here Are 10 of The Best Law of Attraction Quotes I Have Collected:

1 - "Have an Attitude of Gratitude in all that you do."
2 - "Energy flows where attention goes."
3 - "Do not give others the chance to create your happiness."
4 - "Success is something you attract."
5 - "Wherever you are, be there."
6 - "Don't leave the game unplayed."
7 - "Stand tall in your own eyes."
8 - "Don't major in minor things."
9 - "Language, it says a lot about you."
10 - "To have more, you have to become more."

At the very heart of the Law of Attraction are a few major principles. Your Attitude of Gratitude is that reciprocal energy force at work, you get what you give. Be grateful daily for the smallest of things. Give to others easily and receive things with greater ease. Giving and receiving are energy forces at work. Just look to nature, the sun and rain gives way to growth and prosperity. Giving and receiving is that reciprocal energy force I mentioned.

Your emotional intelligence keeps you calm and grounded. Your level of empathy and compassion are the heart and soul of you emotional intelligence. If you don't feel empathy and compassion for others on a regular basis, your EI needs some work and the Law of Attraction works best with a strong emotional intelligence.

Clarity and focus, knowing what you want, and being able to articulate the details. If you desire a new house, new career, weight lose, more money or a new relationship. Paint a picture, fill it with all the details. Paint a picture with words first, and you'll really start to see what you want. Seeing it clearly is important. And remember, the focus is only on what you want, never on what you don't want. Any negatives must be removed from this process. Everything in your picture has to be positive. It's easy to have random thoughts of what you desire, however, it's best to create real pictures of those things. Then you can look at your pictures and the focus becomes very very clear.

In short, the Law of Attraction works best when using actual pictures of the things you desire most!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Mike Perras is a retired media executive and college professor. He writes regularly for the Sensuous Gratitude blog. His latest ebook on the subject is called "The Law of Attraction through Sensuous Gratitude"In it he discusses how the movie The Secret misses the most important piece of the puzzle. Why? Because, "being clear" first, is paramount to your Law of Attraction success. You'll see how this simple technique will change how you see everything.

Limiting Beliefs Keep the Law of Attraction From Working For You

Lately I have been hearing a lot of people saying that they are giving up on the Law of Attraction (LOA). They are tired of hearing about it, tired of the thousands of websites, seminars and self improvement programs promising the moon and the stars with the LOA because it just does not seem to work for them.

The truth is, the Law of Attraction is ALWAYS working, it is Universal Law, but if you are not vibrating in the energetic vicinity of what you desire, you are not going to get it. When people are not getting what they want, they think the Law of Attraction does not work. But sorry, folks, there is no getting out of Universal Law. It is working; you are just not allowing it to work in your favor.

Another reason people don't want to hear about the Law of Attraction is because they don't want to be responsible for their own lives. They find it easier to blame others for everything that happens to them or blame some cruel God who punishes us for our sins.

I also think the recent turn from focus on the Law of Attraction by many whom have been teaching it for a long time now is that the LOA just IS. It's like gravity, and we don't talk about gravity all day long trying to figure out how to use it to our advantage in our lives. We don't go around trying to "invoke" gravity. We just KNOW it IS and act accordingly. Why keep talking about it and trying to get it to work for us? It already is working for us. People don't have to know anything about gravity to stay planted on the ground, nor do they need to know of or believe in the Law of Attraction to attract like energy. It's a given.

Before the term "Law of Attraction" became so popular, I learned it as the "Law of Love" or the "Law of Divine Orchestration". It is only in recent years that Law of Attraction has become the buzz phrase for this Universal Law.

There is no doubt that like energy and vibration attracts like energy and vibration; that is the proven scientific explanation. But spiritually, the explanation is that Divine Super Intelligence loves us unconditionally and wants to give us what we want. So to make it easy, and not overwhelming like Jim Carey in Bruce Almighty, Source let us be our own self sufficient creators, each of us holding the power that creates worlds within us. Why would we ever think/feel/vibrate anything that we don't want knowing that we are powerful creators who create our reality with our thoughts/feelings/vibration? Like duh!!! But there is a reason why we hold ourselves back.

For me the focus has more shifted from concentrating on the Law of Attraction to focusing on the beliefs we have acquired during our lifetime, some of them outdated and limiting, and re-wiring those to match what we truly want. 

Our beliefs filter our perception of life, how we see ourselves and others. Our beliefs are there to protect us and keep us safe; we created them early on when we observed something and made a decision about it. Or maybe we heard someone say something like "You will never amount to anything", or "Don't eat that, you will get fat," or "You have to work hard to make money," and boom, a belief is born. Our forming brains soaked it up like a sponge and made it true for us. But what we thought we needed to keep us safe as children is no longer valid as adults, especially as we evolve and expand. We need to learn to adjust and amend and re-wire until our beliefs match our desires so that we get what we desire by Divine Universal Law.

It doesn't take rocket science to figure out where you are vibrating on any given subject. Just look at your bank account, your relationships, your career. What you are getting is what you are vibrating. Every time. And if you are not getting what you want, you have beliefs that are keeping you where you are. Bust the limiting beliefs and you are free!

If you are saying positive affirmations, created a vision board, visualize and keep a lucky charm in your pocket but you are still not manifesting your desires, you have subconscious limiting beliefs that say "no you can't, no you aren't, it's not going to happen," that sabotage your positive actions. All the affirmations in the world are not going to work if your underlying core belief is that you are not worthy of your dreams.

Why do we ever not follow our dreams? Why do we limit ourselves and justify and settle? Sometimes beliefs are so ingrained and so a part of who we are, we don't even realize they are there and that they are limiting us. But if you not living the life of your dreams, you definitely have limiting beliefs holding you back from being the unlimited being that you truly are. Let's bust em up now!

There are many ways to bust your limiting beliefs:

It is helpful to first identify your limiting beliefs. One way to identify them is to become a conscious thinker. Become observant to your thoughts. Become present and in the moment to what you are thinking about. Notice and observe your thoughts instead of just letting them run on and on. Stop yourself and think about what you are thinking! The background running thoughts that we think without thinking are the subconscious mind running our core patterns and beliefs.

Our conscious mind says, "I am happy, wealthy and healthy, see I even wrote it one hundred times and cut out pictures about it!" And our subconscious mind says, "Oh, no, you're not, remember that time they told you that you are stupid and would never amount to anything?" And the subconscious dominate belief wins.

Become a conscious thinker and notice when your mind chatter is saying "I'm not good enough, I can never do that, I'll never have a lot of money." When you notice those thoughts, don't get upset with yourself. Just gently bring your thoughts to positive statements such as, "I am worthy, The Universe is loving and supports me, I am abundant in all ways." With time and repetition, you will start to believe them.

The key here is focus and repetition. Repetition rewires. You can literally rewire the neurons in your brain to create a new path that connects to new core beliefs. Dr. Joe Dispenza of What the Bleep? fame says it takes seventeen days to rewire the neurons in your brain to create to new core beliefs and habits.

I love to use RAPs (Repetitive Audio Programs) for fast and efficient rewiring. RAPs are selected affirmations repeated over and over while you meditate or sleep. When you are in a theta brain wave state, your subconscious is open to receive new information without resistance, making for fast and easy reprogramming. I put on the mp3 before I go to sleep, and then all night the recorded statements are seeping into my subconscious, rewiring my beliefs while I dream. This is my kind of rewiring!

The only problem with repetitive programs is that some people don't stick with them. They do it for a few days or a week, declare it doesn't work and then go looking for the next speaker or seminar or book to give them the answer. The problem is, wherever you go, there your beliefs are.

People will also find that resistance can come up after a short while of using a repetitive program. As we are reprogramming our core beliefs, events or emotions come up that need to be released and it can become a bit uncomfortable, so we stop using them.

Be patient, give yourself a break, you have been running these patterns and beliefs for most of your life and the prize you get for releasing them and replacing them is well worth the effort. After all, it's your life!

Another very effective method for releasing limiting beliefs and old emotional baggage is the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). EFT uses the energy meridian points on your body, the same ones used for acupuncture. You simply tap on these points in order while going through a sequence of statements that relate to your issue. I have seen miraculous results using EFT and have added it to my coaching practice because it is so quick and easy. EFT is becoming more and more popular as people discover its powerful and rapid belief release abilities.

While I have not yet explored it myself, I have heard great things from people I highly respect about using the Sedona Method for releasing limiting beliefs, so I mention it here.

Hypnotherapy is also great for easily getting to your core beliefs and replacing them with new ones. You can visit a qualified hypnotherapist or even find a self hypnosis program that will guide you into a relaxed theta state and then feed you some new beliefs to hang onto.

Do some research and follow your inner guidance and intuition to find which method will work best for you. It might be one or a combination of them. YOU will know what is best for you. Trust your guidance and what calls to you.

All these methods are great for helping you to release limiting beliefs that no longer serve you, however they are in addition to, and do not take the place of, becoming, right NOW, the person you want to be. Step right into who you really are, your true authentic self. Limitless. Free. Joyful. Abundant. Loving. Be happy now, appreciate what you have now, start to live out your dreams now!

How would you feel if you were living your dreams right now? What would you do? How would you walk, talk, be? Stop seeking and start BEING. Be it NOW, and be it consistently, and watch your limiting beliefs fall away fast! Talk about instant vibrational alignment!

Surround yourself with people who support you in your new beliefs. Get a life coach who will guide you into your dreams and be your cheerleader. Join or form a master mind group where you all support and hold each other in the vision of who you really are. Join positive groups that are aligned with your vision. There is big power in numbers. Take constant inspired action steps towards your dreams. Let go of blame, anger, old emotions and baggage that no longer serve you. Follow your heart and intuition. Take time each and every day for your enlightenment and expansion and health. Overcome the limiting beliefs that bind you and set yourself free!

When you align your core beliefs with your desires, there will be no stopping you. Like gravity, you will not have to think about the Law of Attraction working ever again. You will be too busy living your dreams!

Unlock Your Earning Potential

Are you looking to increase your financial well being? Let's be honest, I think we all are! If you are serious about making money, what do you need to do to get on the right track? It's as simple as this -

Install the Law of Attraction into your everyday being.

You need to ensure that you apply the principles of the Law of Attraction in all that you do and think about.

Hopefully it is becoming clearer now just what the Law of Attraction is, and what you need to do to begin applying it. Allow me to refresh - the Law of Attraction means that you have to use the power of your mind to think positive thoughts, and produce positive feelings. Your most heartfelt desires will appear as, a manifestation of your thoughts and feelings.

This applies to everything, including making money. You need to think about the level of success you desire and how much money you want, which in turn will generate positive feelings towards money.

Why only have these positive feelings in this moment though? Do you not want them to continue?

Keep that in mind - you will be further motivated to keep on going to get to where you want to be.

Being wealthy makes life more enjoyable. You have more time and, more freedom, to do what you want to do, when you want to do it. Your way of thinking will change when you use the Law of Attraction to bring you the wealth and happiness that you desire...and indeed deserve.

This may sound a little overwhelming and you may be thinking that you already think positive thoughts about wealth. But you need to take this a step further. You need to transform the way that you think, and open yourself up to all sorts of opportunity that you never thought possible. You can be as wealthy, and as happy as you want to be.

Remember, 'we become what we think about'. Sure, there is hard work along the way, but if you keep your end goal in site, you will find that things pop up unexpectedly - stepping stones if you will - to get to that finishing point. Really thinking about something, and attracting that to you, is going to be all that you really need to achieve what you want to.

Get in touch with yourself and think about what it is that you really want. Tune in to the good, and do not let anything bad get in the way of your positive thinking. I know that probably sounds easier than it is, but once you become more and more familiar with this, you will be able to stay firmly on track to your destination.

Making money and the application of the Law of Attraction, go hand in hand. The extremely wealthy in the world today, the likes of Donald Trump and Richard Branson, didn't just get lucky in obtaining their fortunes...they had the positive mindset necessary to attract it to them.

Now I know that not everyone wants to be as rich, or live the lifestyle of the world's wealthiest. That is fine. But remember, regardless of how wealthy you want to be, the principles remain the same.

How to Manage Your Emotions and Energy

This is an intermediate to advanced discussion on the Law of Attraction. It's very important to understand the role of your emotions in the attraction process. Let's take the example of a garden hose. When you have the water turned on water flows through the hose. When there's an obstruction or a kink in the hose, the water flow is impeded or pinched off, therefore you have a resisted flow.

How can you tell if what you're creating or intending is flowing to you? By your inner state of flow.

You've made an intention or launched a desire to the Universe and if you don't resist your desire, it's on its way to you. If you wonder what's taking so long, take a look at your resistance to having what you want.

"Resistance? Of course I want to get the funding to go to the college of my choice, of course I want to get that great job." All well and good. But if it's been taking months to years to get what you want, be assured that you've got some resistance pinching off your flow.

To better understand the term 'resistance' it's sometimes helpful to look at the opposite definition. Some opposite definitions of the word resistance are flow, harmony, accord, agreement, cooperation. These are the qualities you want to transmit when you're thinking about your desire.

Remember the Universe matches and mirrors back to you whatever vibration you're transmitting. And it's not just on the topic of your desire.

What's the general balance of your emotional state over the course of a day? Do you experience frequent annoyance, aggravation, impatience, grouchiness, boredom, intolerance? Are you stressed and rushed? These emotional states are hanging around your energy field. The Universe is matching and mirroring back to you reasons to experience more of the same.

Get the clean up committee on the job by practicing better feeling thoughts. Find more reasons to compliment and appreciate. Look around and give thanks for all the wonder and beauty that surrounds you. Appreciation is one of the fastest vibration raisers. Now you're back in the unresisted attraction mode. Clean up your vibration by noticing what you're transmitting and consciously choose to transmit at a higher vibration. The Universe will match that and you'll have a much more enjoyable life experience.

The Law of Attraction - Make the Past Disappear

I think without a doubt that the most valuable asset the Law of Attraction provides is a change in your own outlook.

If, up to now, you've always been basically unhappy, your life following a path of one expected failure after another, then something must change.

Let's not become too carried away by the Law of Attraction. Make no mistake. It works. But to think that just because you practice it diligently and start to see changes in you and indeed your way of life, doesn't mean that there won't still be bumps along the way. You'll still make mistakes, you'll still fail.

This isn't really the point, though. It's how you handle your mistakes and failures that matters. If, like the example I cited at the beginning, you used always to fail because you expected to fail, then changing this way of thinking to the point where you expect success, then your failure rate will be very much diminished.

This is why I keep harping on the necessity of writing down your goals, having given them a great deal of thought beforehand. You see, what you're really doing is to change you, yourself.

The Law will only work properly if you really want something more than anything else in the world. If you think to yourself; 'I don't know. It might be rather fun to learn Latin.' 'Rather fun' won't cut it. It has to be a burning desire. Here again we see where people fail. The fire isn't there.

My own feeling is that the Law comes in two stages.

First of all, there must be a change in attitude. Then you concentrate on what you need. A new car, new house, new this, new that, simply won't happen in isolation. You must go to the root of your desire. Change yourself first.

From a lifetime of pessimistic negativism, turn it all around by running a film through your head where you're upbeat, optimistic and successful. As I've said, this isn't magic. And forget all about quantum physics and magnetic attractions. It's a question of re-training your subconscious mind.

The other day, we discussed the past and the future. I suggested then that there can't, strictly speaking, be a temporal present or we'd all shoot off into outer space, because time would have to stand still. Now we know there's a past, but it's so necessary to forget it, unless there are very sweet and pleasant memories you can evoke.

But if someone's wronged you, or your parents were distant and aloof with you. If your schooldays were a hell on earth, all that's gone. Forget it. Until you do so, then your existence will be one of misery and unhappiness. After all, you can't change the past by reliving it, and reliving it's the last thing you should do.

Let go of all the bad baggage and don't worry about tomorrow, apart from your affirmations and visualizations of happiness, optimism and success

Feel Great and Lose Weight!

Diets are depressing.This article is named Feel Great And Lose Weight because it really needs to be that way around.If you feel great then losing weight is merely an added bonus that happens when you are not looking.

How many people at this time of year become OBSESSED with losing weight?  Thousands!In actual fact they want to feel great and they think that losing weight will do that, but that’s not necessarily true.Diets are depressing.  Diets make you obsess about food and about scales.  When you tell yourself you can’t have something, you can’t eat that you can’t do that, can’t have that you are depriving yourself of things that give you pleasure, that’s not going to make you feel good is it?  As a result it is on our minds every minute of the day, which makes it even more painful as you want it even more!  We ALL want something when we are told we can’t have it. At the same time we feel like a failure and the months stretch before us, torturing us with the misery of being forbidden the thing that we love-food.  Food is not our enemy, it keeps us alive !  It gives us energy.  The wrong food can make us feel tired and down if we eat too much of it,  that’s not healthy.

So this year, instead of torturing yourself with a diet that  will be short lived and make you feel like a failure why not make a commitment to making yourself feel great instead? And then see the weight fall off!  After all,you want to lose weight to make you feel good so why not feel good anyway?

When we eat healthily we feel great.  Eating healthily doesn’t mean that you are forbidden from eating anything.  It means you eat as much as you need (no more) and you eat foods that are going to benefit your body 80% of the time.  If you feel like having a piece of cake that’s ok!  It isn’t wrong to eat!  But just have one piece of cake, or one bar of chocolate and don’t feel guilty!  Slim people eat cake, and chocolate, they do!  I know, I’ve seen them!

Ask yourself this, what do you really want?

Do you want to be healthy, full of energy, feeling great about yourself?

Or do you want to feel obsessed,depressed and deprived of food you love and probably gaining weight instead of losing it?

Write down how you want to feel.

Did you choose the first option? Ok, good.  Then take a look at my suggestions for you.  Choose which ones you want to do and practice them everyday.  The more you do the better you feel, be committed.  This is a way of life, not a diet.  Your goal is to feel great!

1. Drink 8 glasses of water every day.I   know, you knew this one but it is so important.  Sometimes we eat because we think we are hungry but we are actually thirsty.  This coupled with the fact that fat cells become harder to break down  when we are dehydrated shows how much harder it is to lose weight when we don’t drink enough.  Two reasons we will lose weight easier if we drink lots of water and we feel better too.

Water also flushes toxins out of our body,can cure tension headaches,ease fatigue and clear our skin.

2.  Always,always eat breakfast.Get your metabolism working, you don’t need a lot for breakfast but you do need something.  You will have more energy and burn more calories when your metabolism speeds up.  If you feel more tired after breakfast change what you are eating.  You want to eat foods that make you feel good.

3.  Positive self talk. You are hereby banned from saying anything negative to yourself.  Think about it, what do you say to yourself when you look in the mirror?

Fat?  Disgusting?  Yuk?

You seriously need to change that.  Would you talk to your friend like that?  Or even someone you don’t really like that much?  Then don’t do it to yourself, it’s cruel and hurtful and you deserve better.

Your subconscious mind hears that and believes it.  And it does as its told .It is your subconscious that controls your actions.  If you tell it you are fat it will make you do all the actions to reinforce that because that’s what it thinks you want..You will eat.

Tell yourself, I am beautiful.  I love me just the way I am.  I know it will sound strange and difficult at first but you must start to see yourself in a different light.  Maybe more how the people who love you see you.

Pick out you best features and focus on them.

4. Your thoughts control your feelings.  If you feel sad then its because you are thinking negatively.  What are you focusing on? Change it to something positive, that makes you happy.T  he one thing in your life you CAN control and only you is your thoughts, and seeing as you thoughts control your feelings chose to feel great!

5. Set a goal.  Make it a positive.  Not about losing weight but getting into a size whatever it is.  Don’t make you goal to huge,i t has to be believable for you.  Maybe two dress sizes at a time.  Remember this is about feeling great,imagine yourself in that size…If you focus on losing something that’s a negative.  Or make a goal about work,or finances to boost your self esteem.

6.  Exercise.

Exercise release endorphins and can really make you feel great.  Even just 20 minutes can uplift you and make you feel good about yourself.

7. Smile.

Smile at everyone you come into contact with.  Give compliments and spread kind words and thoughts.  Making other peoples’ day make you feel great!  It has a knock on effect and reduces your stress.  Smiling releases endorphins, reduces blood pressure and can improve your immune system.  It lakes you feel happier!

8.  Don’t fret about little things.  Do they matter really?  Comfort eating is a major cause of obesity.  We all know it is our state of mind (our thoughts and feelings) that prompt us to comfort eat.  Does is not therefore make sense to change the way we feel first? (We don’t comfort eat when we are happy do we?)

So go through your day focusing on all that is positive and good.  Feel joy and gratitude for all that you have.  If someone drives badly let it go over your head, if you partners driving you crazy go have a bubble bath or do something nice for yourself.  Choose to be calm, not stressed.

9. Eat foods which give you energy.

Green leafy vegetables, nuts, yoghurt, eggs, oranges, beans, lentils, dried fruit and seeds.

10.  Eat good fats.  You need to eat fat to burn fat.  Eat oily fish, nuts, seeds and avocados.  Don’t eat to much oily fish if pregnant.  Eat sunflower,rapeseed and olive oils. These fats will help you feel wonderful. These fats will help you feel great and lose weight!

11.  Accept a compliment. If someone pays you a compliment say thankyou and believe it.  They didn’t have to say it, allow yourself to feel good about it.

12. See yourself as a success not a failure.  Take up Yoga, Pilate’s or Meditation.  Any if these activities can help you feel fabulous.  Go to a class with a friend, have fun.

Remember, do all that you can to truly feel great and the weight will go, just focus on the feeling and forget about the weight.

Why You Need To Break Out Of Your Comfort Zone

If you keep doing what you’ve always done you will keep getting what you’ve always got."~W L Bateman

Changing one small thing can change your life forever.

I love this quote above,if you haven’t heard it before it should speak volumes.

Einstein also said that it is a sign of insanity to keep doing the same thing over and over and expect the results to be different.  Most of us aren’t even aware that we are habitually repeating patterns safely inside our comfort zone.  After all, it feels good in there right?  That’s why its called a comfort zone.  The problem is that we are generally unfulfilled there.  If we have hopes,dreams and aspirations for a better life they aren’t going to be in our comfort zone, we know!  We’re already there!

That’s why you need to break out.

If you don’t it will all stay the same.  Is that what you want?  I don’t think so.
Yes,its scary,it can be uncomfortable just thinking about it.

But fear can be used as an inspirational tool.

When we overcome it and we achieve our goal as a result of that, the feeling of achievement is so intense!  It inspires us to break out more.
So the trick is a little at a time.  Focus on your end goal,envisage what that feels like, is it worth feeling the fear?  I am guessing it is.
And as you grow with it so will your confidence and your faith in yourself.

Ask yourself this…What would you do if you KNEW you couldn’t fail?hink about it, let your mind wander.  Did you come up with something new?  Or was it a dream that you have had for a long time but haven’t moved any closer toward achieving?

What small step can you take today to move a little closer to your dream?

Will you do it?  Even if it is scary,just do one small thing.  And then give yourself a pat on the back you are closer today than you were yesterday but not as close as you will be tomorrow.  I often find that when the first small step has been taken it snowballs and you just want to do more.  It is the BIG picture that’s scary.  The little steps are easy,and thankfully  it is the little steps that take you to the reality of your dream.

Think about what you are scared of. Fear of failure,success,what people may say/think of you?

As far as the failure part goes, there is no such thing. You can LEARN that that particular way does not work for you,and then try a different way.The great people of all time didn’t succeed first time round,they just see failure as an opportunity to do it a different way!Look at it as a journey,if you lose your way try a different road.

As for success, it generally doesn’t come overnight so you will have plenty of time to adjust to it on the way, one step at a time.

And what do people know about you?  No one knows what is best for you better than you. You know your dreams, they don’t.  Even of you told them they still wouldn’t see them exactly as you do.  Be proud of who you are, because there is no one in this world like you, show what you are made of and look back on your life and be thankful that you stepped out of your comfort zone and achieved your full worth and made your mark on the world.

Stepping out of your comfort zone can give you the life you always wanted.Write down how you truly want your life to be and focus on it,be positive,and take one small step,today.

Step Up Or Step Off

I posted this article because of the inspirational example of a single mum succeeding where others would have given up,or just not attempted in the first place,Jane

As we step into spring, I've been thinking about people stepping up.

There's a lot of it going on around us, it seems, positive signs that even in the toughest economic winters people are as resilient as ever. Of course, that's the nature of "tough times," isn't it? We all have a greater opportunity to overcome, perhaps, to dig a little deeper, to find the heroes in ourselves.

A recent example that sticks out to me is a woman in her mid 40s who graduated at the top of her 2009 class from a college in California. She was valedictorian. The remarkable thing was, she was a single, working mother of 13 kids (8 of them adopted), and she had taken in dozens of foster kids over 25 years as a stay-at-home mom. When asked why she did it, she explained that after her divorce she realized she needed a college degree to get a decent job, and she wanted to inspire her kids. When asked how she did it, she said she just did it. She and the kids all helped each other with chores and homework.

She told interviewers, "You know what... if you want to do it. Just do it. Do it afraid and the courage will come later."

But with every opportunity to step up, like this one, there's also an opportunity to step off, to find a reason to do nothing or take a less heroic path. We always have an opportunity to blame others, to view ourselves as helpless victims, to rationalize excuses for our low expectations or outcomes, to believe that we can't make a difference. We might hear some of these common cop-outs in our own head:

"Everyone else does it." 

"I'm just one person." 

"That's not my job." 

"No one else cares; why should I?" 

"I did my part; those other people dropped the ball." 

"She made the mistake." 

"I don't get the credit I deserve." 

"Life isn't fair."

Let's face it; life isn't always fair. It's often not very fair at all. We have big challenges and bad breaks to overcome on our journey through it. But, we are ultimately defined by how we respond to what life throws at us (and it's been throwing a lot at many of us lately).

Stepping out of this cold winter with a mind to step up a little more might just lead us somewhere warmer and brighter.

Small steps.... We might choose to act with integrity during a tempting moment to do otherwise (even when no one else is watching). We might choose to commit a selfless act during a tempting moment to do otherwise. We might choose to dig a little deeper within ourselves, to light a candle rather than curse the darkness, to do it afraid and let the courage come later.

Happy spring, and happy stepping!

How Do You See Life -Glass Half Empty or Half Full?

This is a phrase we have heard throughout life. An interpretation of this phrase is used to quality a person as an optimist or a pessimist. Does the person see life as more negative than positive thus creating a life that supports this outlook - with life having a more negative spin. The optimist will see life in a more positive light and will have a life that reflects that outlook.

One way to determine how you generally see life is to get a pad of paper and brainstorm the areas of your life that are not great or are challenging. On another page, reflect on all the things in your life that you would embrace as blessings.

A person who has a pessimistic outlook might find it difficult to identify the blessings. Even the simple things that are blessings, such as; waking up, having a warm cup of coffee, having a warm shower, having great children, living in a safe and comfortable home, etc. To a person who is negative, this is not part of their outlook on life because they are so focused on what they do not have versus what they do have.

Negativity is a habit. I believe some people believe it is in a persons' general makeup. I do not agree. I meet people all the time who could perceive life as negative because of the challenges they have faced, yet these people see the good, the blessings, and the possibilities. Instead of focusing on what they do not have they only see what they do have and in doing that they continue to attract more and more.

A negative person is always pushing away all that is available in life. They are people who look for things to complain about and they are also people other people avoid. Unless the other person is a pessimist also. It is very difficult to be around a negative person because you can easily be dragged down by their negative energy.

After you have done the exercise of determining if your glass is half empty or half full, begin to practice seeing life more positively. Look for areas in your life that are truly blessings - we all have them. Stop complaining - start changing. Practice optimism.

Law of Attraction, Does it Ever Really Work?

I really like this article I found by Jim Gerlits,Jane

I read an article the other day about the Law of Attraction and the author felt that he was not sure that it really worked. When I read that it bothered me that a person could feel that way. The the teachings of the law of attraction are certainly not new. The laws have been thought for centuries. At times these laws are exhilarating in that I can have anything I want in this world and in my life. At other times they seem a bit scary in that when something happens in my life I have to take full responsibility for it and I can't blame some one else.

After thinking about whether or not the laws are real and if they work I did realize how easy it would be to feel that way. If you get up feeling great and happen to listen to the radio or TV there will definitely be something that will bring you down. Be it about the economy, recession or the hate and anger in the world.

After that how do you get out of that place were your mind is filled with stinkin' thinkin'. Especially when your whole life, you have been taught every thing but the law of attraction. So you have a lot of untruths to over come. We spend eighty five percent of our days talking to our selves. How much of that time do we spend monitoring our thoughts. Probably not even a few seconds we talk to ourselves so much that we don't even think about it. We do have a monitor for it though and that is our emotions, when you find your self in the dumps you can be certain that you have not been paying any attention to your thoughts.

Now to get your self back into the thoughts that make you feel good and allow you to be happy and productive again. In some of our teachings we are taught that the only thing real in our world and will stand up to the test of time are things that are true. Although what we are thinking feels true to us they aren't because they can't stand up to time. More than likely you will have forgotten the big problem with in a few days time. Your children or grand children will not remember it or even care about it. So it was not a truth and you are really wasting your time giving it any meaning. It really is much more fun to live a happy and joyous life.

One of the greatest truths is love, if we can live our life with that in our thoughts. Be a loving person in all the parts of our life we would have a life truly, filled with the law of attraction to such an extent we would never want for anything. That would be a dream come true, to be able to accomplish such a love.

I've had for what seems like my whole life, a need to understand myself and the world I live in. That being the situation I've invested many pounds and hours in trying to understand what I'm all about. What I soon realized is that we actually have total control over our lives. Our whole world is actually created in our thoughts. In realizing this it certainly made a difference in the way I looked at life and how I made my decisions. At the same time it gives us the power to actually create the life that we would like to live. How exciting that can be, but it isn't always simple.

Keeping the Spark In Your Relationship

Relationships are wonderful at the beginning.  A euphoric mix of excitement and anticipation wondering where it will lead.  After this initial period things settle down but still the honeymoon period begins.  The time span of the honeymoon period varies depending on the couple and the circumstances, but why does it have to end?

Of course circumstances change, children may appear and you  may not have the time or energy to spend on each other as you once did.  But surely the feelings of the honeymoon period came from within you ,sparked by the other person.  Should we really allow circumstance to change the feeling of our relationships?  Would it really go if we continued to try to make our partner feel loved and special as we once did?

What we really want after all is that feeling of being in love and being loved, surely we can have that through out our relationship if only we put the effort in?  We let other things take over, that may seem important at the time but isn't our relationship our priority?  How would we feel if we lost it?

Our partner is, after all.the same person that we met.  That person that we thought about constantly ,dreamed about, talked about and wanted to be with 24/7.  Remember them?  Granted it can't always be quite like that else we wouldn't get anything else done but surely the feeling of love and adoration should last a lifetime?  We can get bored or frustrated with our relationships and wonder if we could have something more.  We feel empty and unappreciated.

Where does the spark go?  Can you get it back?  Or how do you keep it in the first place?  I believe that there are certain requirements to help us keep it, and,if we really want to, get it back if its gone already.

When you met and it was all dreamy you were focusing on all the good stuff.  When did you stop?  Why did you stop?  Was it gradual?  Did they not live up to your expectations?  Are you being fair?

It is a downward spiral when you start to dwell on another persons imperfections.  Think about why you both felt so wonderful when you met.  Was it because you made each other feel special?  Because you saw all that was good and wonderful and unique about each other?  What would happen if you focused on those things now?

Why don't you try telling your partner what you love about them?  We should do this every day,more than once. We all love to be appreciated.In fact it is a necessity.

A large portion of men who have been unfaithful have said that it wasn't because their mistress was more attractive/intelligent or funny than their wife, it was because they made them feel admired, appreciated and supported.

Being taken for granted is not conducive to a happy relationship.

It doesn't take much effort to say,'I'm so grateful you did this, what would I do without you?'
So if the spark has already gone do you want it back?  Does your partner?


If so then start by focusing on all that is good about them.  Let the rest go.  None of us are perfect and you knew that when you made a commitment to be with this person.


Love them for their faults and they will love you for it.  The Law of Attraction says you get more of what you focus on, the more you appreciate and praise your partner the more they will want to please you.

Men need to be appreciated, supported and admired and trusted.

Women need to be cared for, respected, reassured and understood.  We need loving attention.

We have to recognise the differences between us to understand what the other person needs.  If you fulfil their needs they will be happy.

It takes some effort, no one said it would be easy, but it can be if it becomes second nature. The more you put in the more you get out.

Spend time together.  Turn off the T.V and talk.  Talk about things that don't matter. Have fun, giggle together.  Be daft.  Too much serious will obviously take its toll.

Be affectionate.  Hold hands, cuddle. Don't sit on separate sofas, don't go upstairs to play video games and leave your wife alone downstairs.  BE together.

Be considerate.  Make their life a little easier by helping just a bit more.


Make loving gestures, they don't have to be huge.  A cup of tea in bed, watch what they want on t.v even if you hate it. A bunch of flowers or get up with the kids so they can have a lie in.


Tell them you love them,as much as you feel you can.  Didn't you used to?

Respect each other.  Respect each others feelings, wants, needs, wishes, opinions and space.  Never put them down or play games and avoid making them feel guilty.  Helping them feel better about themselves will have a major effect on your relationship.  Keep your criticism to yourself and don't lay blame.

Smile at each other. Take time to look at them when they walk through the door and smile. Show them you are pleased to see them.

Trust them.  Open up to them and be yourself around them.


Eat you meals together, go to bed at the same time.  Show them that you want to be near them.

Pay them compliments, a compliment goes a long way.

Make love, often.  Make time so you can take your time.  (If this is an issue then it will get easier after you have applied the other tips first I think)


Make time to just BE together.  No kids of family around,just time so you can focus on each other.

Remember, you can't expect someone else to make you happy.  Your happiness is within you.  Make yourself happy and you will be more pleasant to be around.  Happiness is contagious.  Appreciate your partner more and show them love at the same time, then notice the difference.

I know I have made this sound easy and it will be for some of you.  For those of you in a very unhappy relationship just try one thing at first and see what happens. You don't have to tell your partner that you are trying to change, just do what you feel you can, and then one more thing and one more.

I really hope this has made you think and you have a wonderful evening with your loved one tonight,

"If you keep on doing what you've always done, you'll keep on getting what you've always got." - W L Bateman

Why You Need To Break Out Of Your Comfort Zone

I love this quote above,if you havn't heard it before it should speak volumes.

Einstein also said that it is a sign of insanity to keep doing the same thing over and over and expect the results to be different.  Most of us aren't even aware that we are habitually repeating patterns safely inside our comfort zone.  After all, it feels good in there right?  That's why its called a comfort zone.  The problem is that we are generally unfulfilled there.  If we have hopes,dreams and aspirations for a better life they aren't going to be in our comfort zone, we know!  We're already there!

That's why you need to break out.

If you don't it will all stay the same.  Is that what you want?  I don't think so.
Yes,its scary,it can be uncomfortable just thinking about it.


But fear can be used as an inspirational tool.

When we overcome it and we achieve our goal as a result of that, the feeling of achievement is so intense!  It inspires us to break out more.
So the trick is a little at a time.  Focus on your end goal,envisage what that feels like, is it worth feeling the fear?  I am guessing it is.
And as you grow with it so will your confidence and your faith in yourself.

Ask yourself this...What would you do if you KNEW you couldn't fail?

Think about it, let your mind wander.  Did you come up with something new?  Or was it a dream that you have had for a long time but havn't moved any closer toward achieving?

What small step can you take today to move a little closer to your dream?

Will you do it?  Even if it is scary,just do one small thing.  And then give yourself a pat on the back you are closer today than you were yesterday but not as close as you will be tomorrow.  I often find that when the first small step has been taken it snowballs and you just want to do more.  It is the BIG picture thats scary.  The little steps are easy,and thankfully  it is the little steps that take you to the reality of your dream.

Think about what you are scared of. Fear of failure,success,what people may say/think of you?

As far as the failure part goes, there is no such thing. You can LEARN that that particular way does not work for you,and then try a different way.The great people of all time didn't suceed first time round,they just see failure as an opportunity to do it a different way!Look at it as a journey,if you lose your way try a different road.

As for success, it generally doesn't come overnight so you will have plenty of time to adjust to it on the way, one step at a time.

And what do people know about you?  No one knows what is best for you better than you. You know your dreams, they don't.  Even of you told them they still wouldn't see them exactly as you do.  Be proud of who you are, because there is no one in this world like you, show what you are made of and look back on your life and be thankful that you stepped out of your comfort zone and achieved your full worth and made your mark on the world.

Stepping out of your comfort zone can give you the life you always wanted.Write down how you truly want your life to be and focus on it,be positive,and take one small step,today.

Being In The Flow

Being In The Flow

Don't you just love it when everything goes your way? You glide effortlessly through your day feeling light and free, happy and full of energy.  There's a car parking space exactly where you need it to be, you discover more money in your bank account than you thought there would be, you run into an old friend who is thrilled to see you. You see things in a different light, the sunshine on a flower in such vivid colours,t he bright green of grass and the blueness of the sky.  Everything you need comes to you and you are filled with gratitude for the sheer pleasure of life. You feel love and you feel loved. This is my perception of being in 'The Flow.'

Sometimes you can see when other people are in the flow.  I've always loved it when you are driving down the street and you see someone walking alone and they are just smiling to themselves.  I always used to think they must be in love,walking along thinking of someone they just met,or someone they have loved for a long time. Maybe though, it's simply because they are in the flow, feeling so grateful for just being alive and loving it.

Gratitude is after all what puts us in the flow,gratitude,an appreciation of all that we have,and are.

When we feel truly grateful it evokes positive emotions within us.  Gratitude couples with positive emotion attracts to us more things to be grateful for and more positivity!  What a wonderful cycle to be in!
Another great aspect to being in the flow is that, due to our lack of stress, calmness and oneness we are able to think clearly, make better decisions and have more faith in ourselves to succeed at whatever it is that we are doing.  Our minds are open to change, for learning, understanding.  We feel strong and capable of feeling our best.
We eminate love and this affects everyone around us. They benefit from our energy, it is difficult to complain and be miserable around someone so joyful,we lift them up...which makes us feel even better.

Whilst in flow it is an ideal opportunity to focus on our dreams,our goals.The Law of Attraction states that the combination of gratitude, strong emotions and focus on that which we desire will attract that very thing to us.  Practising gratitude daily and consistently makes us focus on what we do have and focus less on what we don't have or don't want.

The opposite of 'The Flow' is when you feel stuck in a cycle of difficulty ,discomfort and negativity...You are stressed out, busy rushing eveywhere. There is not enough of you to go around. You feel guilty, you feel unworthy and things just seem against you.  Sound familiar?  Its so frustrating,things just keep going wrong, the harder you try the harder it gets.

Nothing fulfills you and even when you stop and try to relax it feels boring.  You star saying things like, if only I had this it would all be ok, if I could do that.  If only I lost weight, I had more money,met my perfect partner. You are disatisfied with life and overwhelmed.

We search for comfort in other things, maybe out addictions,food, shopping, alcohol. etc.Of course this doesn't work it merely compounds the guilt.

So, how do you get back to the flow if you're stuck fast?  The good news is your mood can change in a second and so, therefore can your feelings.

So try these:

Be Grateful!

Put on you favourite piece of uplifting music,and dance! Motion creates emotion.

Write down all that you love about your life,and about you.

Do something that brings you joy.

Daydream.

Read my article 'Happy Habits'do you habits daily.

Be present,right here,right now is it really that bad?Or are you worrying about something that hasn't happened yet and may never happen?

Remember-"This too shall pass."

Jane

Happy Habits!

Happy habits are things we can develop to use daily in a bid to replace the negative ones that we have spent our lifetimes perfecting.

We all have these negative beliefs,we believe them because we say them to ourselves regularly.Whether its about our finances,job,family,friends,or the way we look, we can ruin our day by believing these negative thoughts.

Wouldn't you rather have a day full of joy?

Being so happy for all that you have?

And when we focus on gratitude and the things we love we attract more of those things,and with them positive happy people,happy situations and more things to LOVE!!


It's a choice really.

So I have come up with a few happy habits to help you brighten your day and fill it with joy instead of complaints.Here goes:

1. Set your alarm so that you have ten/fifteen minutes to spare before you have to get out of bed.(seriously,rushing as soon as you get up is no way to start the day,you can't be grateful whilst you are rushing,sorry)

2. When you open your eyes start to think of all that you have to be grateful for.Feel the love for those things/people and really feel grateful.Say thankyou.

3. Think of your day ahead,and imagine it going exactly the way you want it to go.

Imagine it flowing naturally,everything is on your side,tell yourself 'Everything that is good is coming my way today.'

4. Have a really good stretch,and take a deep breath

5. Smile!Smiling releases endorphins,natural painkillers and endorphins,in other words it cheers you up!Smile at as many people as you can,it makes them smile too!(well sometimes!:-))

6. Give some loving attention to those you love.Hug you kids,smile at your family,tell them you love them.Their happiness will lift you up no end.If you know they feel loved then you will feel great about yourself.

7. Give compliments.We all love them and it feels great to make someone elses day.

8. Exercise.I struggle with this one but it really worth the push.If your feeling lethargic,bored stuck in a rut or always tired a good half hour of exercise really does make you feel like a new person.

9. Write down a goal and take the first step towards achieving it.

10. Think about what negative words you say to yourself regularly and change it to a positive.

11.Be kind to yourself,speak kind words,think kind thoughts and do kind things for you.,and the people around you will benefit from having a happier,stronger,more focused you!

12. Everything happens for a good reason,so if something doesn't go thw ay you wanted it too,know that something better is in store.

Decide what you want-be specific.

Believe you can have it.

Believe you deserve it.

Believe it's possible for you.

Close you eyes every day and visualise what you want,feel it and see it as vividly as if you can touch it.

Feel the feelings as if you already have it.

Are You Living Your Life With the "Attitude of Gratitude?"

I'm going to start this article by asking you a very simple question...what was the first thought you had when you woke up this morning? I've heard the following responses when asked that question during my Seminars and Workshops...

"where's the snooze button?"

"do I really have to get up?"

"not another day of work!"

"here we go again..."

I find it very interesting when I ask that question, the majority of people have a...well, what I would refer to as a 'de-motivational' thought! I'm sure you've heard the saying "starting off on the right foot" or "I got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning". Is this really the way 'you' want to start your day?

Hypothetically speaking, let's imagine that we're all going to Hawaii tomorrow morning! Woo Hooo!!! And our plane leaves at 7am. Therefore, we need to be at the airport 2 hours prior for check in. So, we need to be at the Airport by 5am. Since we live 1 hour from the Airport, we need to be out of our house and driving by 4am. Now, since we are all very proactive, we packed the night before so we're able to wake up by 3am in the morning.

Let me ask you this...are you going to have any problem waking up?! I venture to guess that your answer would be 'no' (I know this because I'd have absolutely no problem waking up!).

So, why is that? Why would you jump out of bed ready for the day?! You're correct if you said because your excited or if you have something to wake up for!

Let's add a little perspective to the example above. A friend of mine, after returning from a visit to see her parents in Ghana Africa, said to me..."Paul, it was great to see my family and friends. Yet, it is so good to be back home as I'm so grateful for running water."Running Water." Imagine that?! She is so grateful to be living in a country that has running water!!!

So, I recommend that instead of waking up and dreading the thought of having to get ready for work..think about waking up with the "Attitude of Gratitude!" Because I'm sure you know someone or of someone that is waking up wondering if they'll find work that day, how they're going to feed their family or the ever climbing mountain of bills that need to be paid?

Here's a quick and easy way to getting into the habit of waking up instantly with an Attitude of Gratitude that I would suggest.

Steps to 'triggering' an Attitude of Gratitude.

Take a post-it note or a small piece of paper
Write the words 'Attitude of Gratitude' on the piece of paper
While holding onto the paper with the words on it, close your eyes and think about a time when you were truely and undoubtedly grateful for something in your life.
Remember the time and place vividly, remember how clear the memory appears. What did you see? Was it totally in focus? Was it dim or brightly coloured? Far or close to you in proximity?
What sounds do you remember? Were the sounds or voices clear, loud or quite? What were you thinking? Were your thought processes quick or slow? What specific words do you remember saying or hearing?
Now feel all your feelings of gratitude that you had at that moment in time. Notice now, where they emit from within your body. Are the feelings 'warm' in nature? Isn't it interesting to notice how if you 'spin' the feelings faster and make them larger you start to feel even more grateful! Now, just allow those feelings to fill and spread throughout your body up to your head and all the way down to your toes.
Open your eyes and look at the piece of paper knowing that anytime in the days, weeks and months to come these feelings of Gratitude are available to you.
Last step. Place this piece of paper by your alarm clock beside your bed. I recommend this so that when you roll over, first thing in the morning, you're going to see this 'reminder' of how grateful you really should be. Thus, starting your day off with...living a life with the "Attitude of Gratitude".
I'm sure that you'll find this process both easy and helpful. Please let me know how you like this process? For more info check out this website!
