Build A Vision

You don’t have to have every detail but you’ve got to have at least a picture of where you want to get to, and begin to break it into bit by bit steps.

Success requires this process. Whether the success is a dream vacation, writing music, making a better income, or improving your health and increasing your energy. You need to create a plan of action.

For example, a few years back I had a client come to me who had been having anxiety and panic attacks for nearly 10 years. I don’t know if you’ve ever had an anxiety or panic attack, but medical research says that most people experience one or two of them during their lifetime. They can be caused by chemical imbalances, by hormones, by stress, many different reasons. But most people experience one of them, or maybe a few, in their life. Read more »

Connect The Dots…..

Now you’ve gone all the way around the Wheel. And you have put all of these dots on each line. What I want you to do is connect the dots. Just draw a line between them, maybe curve it slightly like the circle’s curved but connect the dots all the way around the circle. Just connect the dots line to line to line to line.

What I’d like you to notice is that some parts of that are probably pretty flat. There may be even parts that have peaks, and others that dip down to a little valleys, then peaks up to the next one. Well I want you to think about how balanced that is?

Now I know that it’s hard to have your life perfectly in balance. It just doesn’t happen. But, you can see how much time and energy you are spending on each of these, which are crucial to you being a full, rich, evolving human being. Read more »

Taking Responsibility

You have to take responsibility for creating your life. You have to decide what you’re willing to give up. You have to decide what you’re willing to do.

So you design your vision. It’s a detailed map for going from where you are today to where you desire to be in the future. You have to look at the exact steps; the details of your goal or your vision.

You don’t have to know every little piece of it along the way. You don’t have to know every detail. But you have to begin to put some of the details together and at least generally know the steps you want to move in the process of going there. One of the things you have to do is be 100% honest with yourself about where you are today and where you want to get to. Read more »

Creating a Compelling Vision

The first of the five core components is creating a compelling vision and plan. Key word here is ‘compelling’. The key is you have to strongly desire that goal, that vision, that thing that you want to attain. You’ve got to passionately want it.

Napoleon Hill, the author of Think and Grow Rich, said “Desire is the starting point of all achievement. Not a hope. Not a wish. But, a keen, pulsating desire which transcends everything”.

Has there been something that you really wanted, whether it was in school, when you first went to work, when you were dating someone? But there was something you really wanted. You had a vision. You worked at it. You did something. Read more »

The 4 Ways Emotions are Created

As you are taking better control of yourself, you need to think about how to manage these emotions. How do you manage these reactions. How do you keep yourself on the eustress track instead of on the distress track?

Medicine and psychology say there are four core ways that emotions are created. Four primary ways that generate all emotions that we have. The first is chemical or hormonal change in the body. The second is damage to the brain itself. The third is your self-talk and the mental images you create in your mind. And the fourth is something happening to your physiology, or the actions you’re taking with your body.

Let’s look at the first one, chemical or hormonal change in the body. Remember, everything you put in your body’s a chemical. Coffee, tea, sugar, water, alcohol, drugs, food—everything you put in you is a chemical and affects you on some level.

Hormonal change. All hormones are fluctuating up and down all the time. They get used up. They get old. They have to be replaced. You get sick. You have a mood swing—many kinds of reasons. Hormones go up and down continuously and it can affect us. Read more »

What are You Taking In

I’ve got a question for you. How long can you go without eating any food before it has any real harmful effects on your body? How long do you think you can go? Most people can go at least a week, maybe longer.

How long can you go without any water? Approximately 24 to 48 hours for most people. If you don’t have some your kidneys will start having problems, your body has to have water because you’re even losing water through the moisture in your breath. So you have to have water at least every few days.

How long can you go without air? If you don’t have fresh oxygen every three, four minutes, your heart and your brain they both begin to deteriorate. They begin to degenerate within minutes; three or four minutes.

So what is the most important thing you consume on a regular basis? Air of course. That simple little exercise, ‘seven down to one count breathing’ that we just did, absolutely helps normalize your body. Bring some balance into your breathing, your bloodstream, your immune system; it helps normalize things a bit. Read more »

If breathing is so good for us, we need to spend a little bit of time with it. I’m going to teach you a brief exercise that works very well. I have taught this to tens of thousands of people, through seminars, during counseling, etc. This is a piece of cake. It’s so easy anybody can do it.

Breathe Your Brainwaves Calmer

Here’s how to use the “Seven Down To One Count Breathing Process”. You can do this any time you want. You can do it driving, taking a shower, sitting on the toilet, laying in bed, having dinner, talking to friends. You can do it anywhere. But if you want to do it the deepest, close your eyes.

Some people say, “Oh I can’t visualize anything.” Yes you can. For instance, if I say ‘red apple’, do you know what a red apple looks like? Certainly you do. I know you have at least some idea what it looks like. You may not see it vividly and distinctly but you know what it looks like; that’s a visualization. Read more »

Brainwaves & Breathing

The word stress is a derivative of a Latin word, “stringere.” Stringere means to bind tightly. And unfortunately that’s what many of us to do ourselves on a regular and ongoing basis. We tie ourselves in knots over things. We bind ourselves up. We get kinks in our necks and tight muscles in our back, and we move too fast and we stretch things out of whack. We bind ourselves up. We tie ourselves in knots.

Back in the 1950’s and 1960’s, two medical researchers, Dr. Thomas Holmes and Dr. Richard Rahe created what was called the Life Change Index, or the Social Readjustment Rating Scale. They spent many years researching stress and the affects on the normal human life, body, illness, adjustment, the way that you are resilient or not resilient.

They looked for many, many, many different ways to be able to test whether you were in a stress response or not. Well when they finally figured out how to do that, what they realized was that stress is a brainwave pattern response. Read more »
