"It’s All About The Balance"

"It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power." ~ Alan Cohen

Change Your Focus, Change Your Life - 8 Steps To Get You Started

What’s been on Your mind lately?

No, really. What have you been thinking about? Stop for a minute and examine the last two or three weeks of your life. Consider how you spent your think time last week, or perhaps even earlier today.

Has any of the stuff you thought about, or tried to avoid, shown up for you in your life? Thoughts are things I consider to be bits of fluid energy, transferred endlessly across the universe from one receptive mind to another.

I for one truly believe that what you think about, you ultimately bring about even if it’s not to your benefit. That’s probably why I have long been a student of the laws of the universe. I love reading positive affirmations and used to subscribe to W.Clement Stone’s "Success" magazine for years.

You’ll find many of my all time favorite "written mentors" listed in the Success Resource here. Don’t believe thoughts are things? Consider this simplified example: How many people do you know, including possibly yourself, who keep attracting the wrong, absolutely, positively wrong man, woman, relationship or situations into their lives? What type of energy is being put out?

It’s the same way with success, wealth, bills and any number of things we face in our daily lives.

If constantly worrying and stressing over how to pay the bills, what aches and pains you have, when the sky will be falling and all the other things a stressed out mind can cook up, guess what we’re more likely to attract? Absolutely…more of the same! Stop the Madness! Quit worrying about what could negatively happen. Switch those thoughts around with these quick tips and motivators:

Monitor your thoughts for a bit and mentally zap anything negative that tries to hide in them in your best Battlestar Galactica imitation.

• Something as simple as reading a good book, or listening to soothing tapes can make a dramatic difference. Can’t think of anything soothing? Here are a few you might like to try. Let me know what you think of them.

• Create a "dreams" list of some of the good things you want to attract into your life, complete with photos.

• Begin to think about all the things you are thankful for in life. Acknowledge them.

• Make a commitment to yourself to improve the quality of your thoughts, actions and your words in your interactions with others, and how you "mentally talk" to yourself.

• Celebrate yourself for every success you have. When you achieve one of your goals, list in in your success journal and begin immediately striving to achieve another one.
