Move Back to Love!

Notice each day whether you are choosing to live in fear or love. Fear can keep you disconnected from the loving presence inside of you. Causing fear is a tactic of the ego, whether it be your own ego or the world’s ego. The world’s ego is a reflection of individual ego power and the amount of fear that is active. Fear is present when we forget that we are a part of God’s divine design. Learning to experience authentic love means abandoning ego’s insistence that you have much to fear and that you are in an unfriendly world. You can make the decision to be free from fear and doubt and return to the brilliant light of love that is always with you. Who you really are is that unclouded love.
Here are some ideas for bringing love rather than fear into your life:
  • Remind yourself that God created you in perfect love that is changeless and eternal. Your body is changing, as is your mind, so you are not that body or mind. You were created as a spirit that is pure love. That is where you want to keep your attention focused.
  • Forgive yourself and welcome love back into your life. When you can do this, a kind of balancing occurs. Rather than atoning for faults with guilt, you are more committed to promoting joy and service. You will begin to do what you originally came here to do.
  • Notice the acts of kindness other people do rather than their shortcomings. This is how the loving presence views you. We are all good, decent, loving souls who occasionally get lost. When you can focus on the good in another and hold that in your mind, you are acting from your higher self. This can help dissipate fear and anger.
  • Remind yourself of how much you have to give away and of how precious and valuable your giving is. You have the same force running through you that allows the planets to move, the earth to turn, the seeds to sprout, and the flowers to open. There is not a separate God for each person. There is one universal intelligence flowing through all of us.
  • Accept that you are enough. When ego begins trying to attract you toward fear, say loudly, “I am enough!” You do not need to be anything you are not. You do not need to prove yourself. You do not need to indulge your ego with fears and to keep your real self at a distance. “I am enough” affirms that you choose to love and chase doubts and fears away.

The Power of Presence


All pain, frustration, sadness and anger stems from something that we focus on in the past or the future.  If we are truly in the present moment and embracing the very essence of who we are in the now, we experience a bliss that words can't describe. There is sense of liberation that allows us to build true relationships, tap into our god-like creativity/potential and experience true joy and happiness.

 
 

We have all been guilty of spending far too much time worrying about the future based on our experiences in the past.  Spending too much time worrying about these time based experiences mean that you end up forgetting about putting your energy into the most precious moment the Present moment!  Think about this for a second has there ever been a time in your life where it hasnt been the present moment?  Of course not!  We are always physically in the present moment, but our minds are constantly travelling between the past and the future fearing what has happened and then using those experiences to then create anxiety about the future. 

So start now and give yourself the gift of spending more time maximising the enjoyment of the now.  When you are with your loved ones, dont be thinking about work, be present and loving for them. Spend time in nature, see the beauty of the trees, the sound of the birds, the soft breeze brushing off your face.  By all means, have a clear vision of your future, but pour your heart and soul into the present moment and watch the creative energy flow J 

Always remember, yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery but the present moment is a gift!

Change your Focus - Rethink your To-Do List


If we want to achieve extraordinary results and fulfillment, we need more than just time management systems. We need a new system of thinking, a way to focus immediately on the results that are most important to us in our lives. Instead of focusing on what it is we need to do, we should first focus on what it is we really want
 
 
We must think in terms of results—the R in Anthony Robbins’ Rapid Planning Method.
Having a clear result or outcome and consistently focusing on it immediately changes your behavior.
For example, can you remember the last time you were caught up in an argument? Maybe you forgot what you were even arguing about—yet you knew inside you had to win! What if, in the middle of that argument, you asked yourself, “What result do I really want from this?” You would have realized that your outcome was not to argue, but to create a resolution. This simple shift in focus would have immediately changed the direction of the communication, and would have likely moved you from a state of arguing toward a focus on resolution.

Remember: Whatever you focus on, you will feel and experience at a stronger level. If you focus on why you have so many problems in your life, you will surely be able to come up with a long list of reasons. If you focus on all the activities that are keeping you busy, you’ll find yourself continuously adding more and more to your list.
Focus on the results you are committed to, and you’ll find yourself consistently moving toward the result you’re after—and very often accomplishing them with a much shorter to-do list than you expected.

Get on Top of Your Stress and Anxiety!


Master Your Emotional Health and Master Your Life
TonyRobbins_20130729.indd

Emotional mastery is the key to living a life that you direct. The capacity to have absolute direct power over what you feel in every single moment—no matter what happens around you—is one of the most important skill sets you can have.
There are three forces in the world that determine what you feel. These forces are called the Triad. Together, these three patterns create any—and every—emotional state.
Whatever you feel, you’re not feeling it because you have to feel it. You’re feeling it because you’ve chosen from the Triad. In order to master your emotions and consciously choose the emotions you want to live in, you need to understand these three forces and how to use them to your advantage.

#1: Physiology

Emotion is created by motion. Whatever you’re feeling right now is directly related to how you’re using your body. If you slump your shoulders and lean your head forward, you’ll move toward a state of depression. However, the next time you find yourself in a negative state, stand up, throw your shoulders back and take a few deep breaths. You’ll find that you’re able to put yourself in a resourceful state. From this state, you can make stronger decisions and enjoy a sense of certainty that will keep you calm in the face of uncertainty.

#2: Language

Language comes in many forms, one of which includes the questions you ask yourself, either aloud or inside your head. If you ask, “Why does this always have to happen to me?” you’ll create a much different set of emotions than if you asked, “How can I benefit from this?” or “Where’s the gift in this?” or “What’s humorous about this?”
The language patterns you run play a significant role in the meaning you give a situation—and the emotion that situation creates in you. When you feel negative emotions taking over, look at the language surrounding your situation. How can you shift it to create a more empowering state?

#3: Focus

Where focus goes, energy flows. And where energy flows, whatever you’re focusing on grows. In other words, your life is controlled by what you focus on. That’s why you need to focus on where you want to go, not on what you fear. When you next find yourself in a state of uncertainty, resist your fear. Shift your focus toward where you want to go and your actions will take you in that direction.
Understanding—and influencing—your Triad is the first step toward emotional mastery. When you can influence your emotions using the Triad, you can choose to spend more time in positive, resourceful emotional states. From these states, you’ll make the decisions that will help you reach your highest potential and enjoy your life in every moment.

The Morning Makeover!

 The Morning Makover


The difficult thing about mornings for most of us is simply just getting up! Instead of going out for a run, reading, reflecting, meditating or developing ourselves in some capacity, we are lured back to the warmth and coziness of our bed.   Yes, the soft mattress is ever so seductive but we really do throw away precious time which we can use to better ourselves. Most of us have a ‘Snooze’ relationship with our alarm clock, where we try and stay in the bed as long as we possibly could before we have to drag ourselves out of the bed to go to the job that we do not love and/or tackle the life that we don’t like etc etc.
As Tony Robbins says ‘You will get a lousy answer, if you ask yourself a lousy question”. Likewise a lousy start to your morning means a lousy day ahead. So really start living consciously now :-) Make it a point to wake up – clap your hands – and tell yourself that today is going to be a great day!  I know this may sound like some positive thinking mumbo jumbo, but what is detailed here is about conditioning your mind, body and soul so that the centre of gravity that you live in is around happiness and joy – not anxiety, fear, worry and all those other unproductive emotions.
We recognise that mornings can be really hectic for most of us whether it’s the need to get to work early, or to get your children ready but it is still important to have “your time” first thing in the morning to get ready for the day ahead.
The morning makeover suggestions here are game changing. These suggestions are simple but if implemented will set in motion the experiences throughout the day that will help you create an exceptional life, the life that you have  always dreamed of.  Here are the three parts of what we refer to as the ’Hour of Power’, a routine to nourish your body, mind and soul. If you do not have time to go through the whole exercise, start with one ritual by giving yourself 10-15 minutes each day and then build on it. Remember that the time for self renewal is absolutely necessary for each one us.

Soul – 15 Minutes
Spend the first few minutes of your day in gratitude. Think about all the things that you are grateful for in your life. It will get rid of the anxiety and fear from your life and prevent you from focussing on the things that are missing in your life.   Then spend time meditating and reflecting on the things that you want to achieve in your life. This will engage your subconscious mind to help achieve your goals and mission. This should not take you more than 10-15 minutes, so go ahead and give your soul the nourishment that it needs to help you live the life of your dreams.

Body – 30 Minutes
Your body gets dehydrated while sleeping, so start your morning with a glass of water with lemon and do some form of physical activity like running, strength training or get on the bike if thats your thing. Something like a light 30 minute run at a pace in which you can still talk will help get the oxygen flowing through your body without building too much lactic acid. Following this,  go and have your breakfast and ensure it’s something that’s highly nutritious – Go Green and take in as many vegetables as possible and limit the amount of acidic foods you take in i.e. Coffee, Tea.  Its all about starting the day with energy and vitality!

Mind – 15 Minutes
Now that you have looked after your body and soul it’s time to feed our mind with positive food. Read about great people, a subject of your interest or anything that will help you grow. There is always someone out there that knows more so read about them and kick start the day with inspiration!
Now the final step is to review your yearly, quarterly, monthly, weekly and daily goals that you have already planned – you’ve done them, right ;-)
Remember the ideas above are to help you give a great start to your day. You don’t have to be overwhelmed by making all the changes at once, start with a ritual that feels good to you and build on it.
Remember, this is all about having fun and feeling great! So enjoy each of these steps! Life is about the 1 percenters – small steps daily will lead to giant leaps in the long run! Remember every morning you have two choices, you either go back to sleep or wake up and chase your dreams. What are you going to choose?
Live intentionally

Two Keys to Realising your Dreams!


Two Keys to Realising your Dreams!

 



Let Love Guide the Way

There is something magical that happens when our intention is filled with love with whatever we pursue in life. There is a joy and passion with which we operate in. Whenever opportunities come our way, we jump at them with open arms, rather than letting fear or anxiety push us away.
Everything happens in harmony with the fundamental laws of the universe and we attract all the people and circumstances into our life that are required to make our dreams a reality – yet whilst we set goals to continue progressing, each moment is the very definition of living the dream. We are motivated by sheer love and passion, rather than desire to be significant or fulfil any other ego related desires which, in the end, always fail to create lasting fulfilment.
Throughout your everyday lives, let love guide the way. Ask yourself, “what is it that I just love doing? What is it that I just lose all track of time and get completely lost in the moment in?”. When you answer that question honestly and sincerely, you will be setting up the foundations for an absolutely extraordinary quality of life!

Make it a must!

We often spend a lot of time trying to chase goals but whenever we get to those moments that there are a few obstacles, we falter on our quest. Sure there may be a number of reasons for that, but one of the most common is that it hasn’t converted from being a should to a must. Imagine for a moment we asked you to go out and make a million dollars in the next year – do you think you could do it?
I would guess that most of the readers wouldn’t back themselves to do so. Now we’ll have another go at asking the same question – only this time you have to make that money or else a family member will be unable to complete necessary treatments for their life threatening illness. I will guarantee that almost everyone will say yes to this. What’s the difference? Of course, not only do you have a strong enough reason, but you’ve made it a must.
When we make something an absolute must, we shut off any part of us that says we can’t do something and we will work at all costs to make it a reality. Regardless of what challenges we come across, we find a way to get through them because failure simply isn’t an option. We have laser pointed focus and we get the job done because we have to! Find a reason, make it a must, and watch your dreams become a reality
