Change just might mean stepping outside of your comfort zone

I seem to use wry humour, or is it sarcasm? a lot. Hence the title of this blog post.

I think it comes of a natural inclination to want to make people, and especially myself challenge the way they think. To look at things differently.

When we think of change, whether we welcome it or not, I think everyone understands that it will involve some degree of stepping outside their comfort zones. That may be an exciting, adrenalin-producing event. or it might be a huge challenge, weighty and difficult.

One reason may be that in changing, in aiming for a different way of doing things, or different outcomes, we need to take on different ways of thinking, of subconsciously doing.

If I am right-brained, creative and impulsive, then I suspect dieting may be incredibly difficult. That especially applies if the success of dieting involves deliberate goal setting and carefully designed and executed programs and discipline.

If I am shy, introverted and lacking in social skills then networking for my business may be a weighty challenge.

So change may involve deliberately trying to change those thinking/doing patterns and skills. Maintaining a rigid discipline over my eating habits, or developing people skills. Does that sound like stepping out of a comfort zone?

It sure does - to me anyway.

But to bring in the excitement and motivation, maybe the goal needs to be the focus rather than the change ...

Doing Your Personal Best for the Next 30 Days Would Mean What for You?

In the movie Facing the Giants, a young high school student on a football team learns that his biggest obstacle is not the opposing team, but rather his own thoughts that are limiting his best performance. So what limiting thought are keeping you from doing your personal best if you truly want to master success?

A colleague and I were discussing this very question several months ago. Imagine what would happen if:

Each junior high person did her or his own personal best for the next 30 days?
Each high school student did her or his own personal best for the next 30 days?
Each teacher person did her or his own personal best for the next 30 days?
Each administrator did her or his own personal best for the next 30 days?
Each parent did her or his own personal best for the next 30 days?
Each small business owner did her or his own personal best for the next 30 days?
Each corporate executive did her or his own personal best for the next 30 days?
Each professional sales person did her or his own personal best for the next 30 days?
Each member of the workforce did her or his own personal best for the next 30 days?
Each government official did her or his own personal best for the next 30 days?
What would our country look like in just 30 days? Given that research supports that most people use anywhere from 10% to 25% of their potential, the results of giving your personal best would be exponential.

Did you know that Einstein said on several occasions he felt he only had used 10% of his potential? Imagine that, the inventor of E=MC squared, theorist of black holes and nuclear fusion believed he had only tapped into 10% of his potential.

Giving your personal best for 8 hours every day for the next 30 days is not easy as the young football player discovered. However, the incredible power when you see what your personal best means for you can never be truly captured by mere words. The knowing that you are doing your personal best translates directly into your own self worth and allowing you to begin to master success.

Again, I ask you: What would happen to you if you gave your personal best (and you and only you knows what that means) for the next 30 days? If you decide to take this challenge, make sure you share it with someone to hold you accountable.

Change Your Life in 100 Days

Consider what would happen if I were to follow you with a camera crew 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for the next 100 days while you went for your goals?

I bet 3 things would happen....

1) You would START doing the things you say you need to do.

2) You would STOP doing the things you know you shouldn't be doing.

3) You would MAKE monumental performance gains and change your life.

This is ALL possible through the discipline of accountability. Accountability serves and protects your character, credibility and commitments. It ensures that what you want to accomplish gets accomplished.

How to Write Powerful Affirmations and Intentions

Everything in your life is the cause of what you think and believe. Take a good look at your life from a perspective that you are the creator. Even though you may not believe you can do anything about your life right now, do it anyway and make an inventory of your life as it is now.

? What do you like about it and what not?
? What would you like to change?
? What would your perfect life look like?

Setting goals and intentions in your life is the single most important task in the entire process of creating the life you always dreamed about.

Can you imagine that almost 95% of all people simply don't do this? And the rest of the 5% do it, but only 10% of this small number ever reach their goals. That's why so many people struggle and businesses fail.

Not enough people set clear intentions about what they want in life. Like other important things that could help us attain truly fulfilled lives, the simplest things in life are mostly overlooked.

How to Program Your Subconscious for Success

Setting goals and intentions is a conscious exercise. Achieving these goals is a spiritual and subconscious exercise. This is where the Dream Manifestation Wizard comes in. By using intentions combined with images and audio plus repetition, you program your subconscious in the most efficient way possible.

There are three ways to program your subconscious:

1. Intensity – Imagine putting your hand on a hot stove
2. Repetition – Remember learning poems?
3. Synergy – Conscious mind and subconscious mind work together

Craft Powerful Affirmations that Work Like Magic

After you have figured out what your perfect life would look like, formulate it into short and powerful goals and intentions.

The key to writing effective affirmations is that they must be positive and stated in the present moment. A good starting point is to use something you don't like or you would like to change and then rephrase it. For example, you may not like being in debt. You can rewrite this into “Money is flowing to me easily and I enjoy it in abundance.” Use only words with positive associations. Don't use the word “debt” as you don't want your subconscious to create debt!

Now you may start to understand the inefficiency of signs and statements like these:“Don't cross this line” or “Don't get nervous about this.” Your subconscious mind does not know the difference between Do and Don't. It is the job of the subconscious to manifest your thoughts, even if the thought is negative. The statements above will only increase what you don't want, so be careful how you think about it and how you phrase it.

Choose Intentions that Align You with Your Life Dreams

Intentions are another powerful way to use the Dream Manifestation Wizard effectively. Intentions are more powerful than goals as they work on a higher consciousness level. Intentions create a new pathway in your life.

A path that you can follow until your life dreams are fulfilled.

When you craft intentions use a time frame, otherwise you are not able to break it apart into smaller goals. Lets assume you want to own your own home at some point. Decide when that should be and be precise about the details.

For example: “By the end of 2009 I live in my own 3b/2b townhouse.” Make sure you add a picture that's a close match to the house you want. Next, create some supportive goals that act as milestones: “By the end of this month I have the perfect financial plan for buying my own home,” and “Within six months I have enough for a down payment,” and so on.

A Profound Way to Rewire Your Brain

Every time you see your goal or intention on the Wizard's screen you physically rewire your brain by creating new neural pathways. This is the most powerful way to change the definition of yourself. In the beginning, your conscious mind may experience some resistance to your new goal or intention.

This simply means you are getting out of your comfort zone and growing. Over time it will get easier for your mind to accept these new commands. After a couple of weeks your brain will be completely rewired and your new goal, intention or belief will be fully integrated.

In a nutshell: Use affirmations to change your attitudes; use intentions to set a path that you will follow until it is fulfilled; use goals to set milestones for this path.

Only one goal – to lose weight?

When losing weight is your main focus in choosing what to eat you set yourself up for a cycle of failure.

How can I say that as a weight loss coach, when my clients obviously have losing weight as their goal? Surely it helps if they are focused and dedicated?

The problem with too much focus on your weight is that:-

Be X Do = Have … The Formula For Success

Is there a formula for success?

I have a very simple formula I've used that I want to share with you that can do wonders in your business and your life.

The formula is simple, but just because it's simple doesn't make it easy.

However, if you start to use it and follow it, it will yield great results for you. So ... what is this simple formula? In order to HAVE anything in life, we need to DO something to achieve it, and in order to DO the right things in the right way at the right time, we have to BE the right person ... which means BE X DO = HAVE.

If you want wealth, you must invest. If you want love, you must first give it. If you want respect, you must earn it.

No matter what, you need to DO something in order to HAVE something. But DO-ing is not the only thing you need to change in order to HAVE something. You must also BE-come the person who would DO these things well and thus HAVE the things you desire.

You must also develop the identity, beliefs and values of the type of person who has those things has. That's why many people who come into great wealth very suddenly find themselves worse off in just a few short years.

Why?

They never developed the inner beliefs and values to match their outer reality. In short, they never BE-came "millionaires." Business is no different. In order to HAVE amazing customers (and amazing businesses need amazing customers), you must develop your business into one that will attract amazing customers.

 




 

So how do you develop the mind-set and the skill-set to maximize the BE X DO = HAVE formula?

Work at it.

It's as simple as that ... but as I said before, simple is not always easy. First, you need to train, or re-train your brain. Just like our bodies need regular exercise, our minds do, too - or else they default to negative and unproductive thinking.

You also must remember that DO-ing is as important as or even more important than BE-ing.

I often say you can't sit on a mountain-top and "OHM" your way to wealth. So you must be prepared to do the extra and the "overtime" to HAVE great results.

To jump start this process, here are four things you can do to start working on the BE-ing and DO-ing parts of the formula.

1)Idealization: Start stretching your mind with possibilities. Choose your ideal life and how you want it to be, whether is it being a great parent or having your own jet. Choose it as already yours, and accept your new thoughts as true. Saying you "want" something causes your mind to think you don't have it - meaning you won't get it. Remember though, this is not an immediate process, it takes time to re-train yourself.

2)Visualization: Relax 10-minutes in morning and 10-minutes in evening and picture your ideal life as real. Visualize and accept your ideal self as real and believe what you want is already yours, because at the subconscious level, your mind doesn't know what is real and what isn't. And keep planting those "seeds" of positive thoughts every day.

3)Verbalization: Create a series of at least 20 "I AM" statements that you speak or shout out loud every day. Give them and yourself energy, passion and vibration. Again, you are re-training your mind to accept a new reality - yours. And yes, that little voice in the back of your head will disagree for the first few weeks, months or maybe even years, but you have to start somewhere.

4)Materialization: Be aware of your changing outer environment as the seeds you've been planting start to manifest - especially as you do the extra work you need to do to make it all happen. Realize it's not a week long process ... but rather one that happens over time. Your own energy and emotions about the goals that matter most to you bring those goals to you faster ... so become a passionate advocate of the best and only product you really have - you.

Be, Do and Have. These three little words really can change your life.

And now that you know, the rest really is up to you!
