What will you create?

The last week of December is usually the time of year people reflect on their lives for the past year. Thinking about what they have accomplished and what they may not have been able to achieve as well as deciding what they would like to accomplish for the next year.

• Make more money this year.
• Eat Healthy.
• Stop Drinking.
• Lose weight.
• Quit smoking.
• Get Organized.
• Really Focus on building my business.
• Exercise everyday.

We wake up on January 1 all set ready to go. Full of motivation, inspiration and determination. We are able to keep taking wonderful, massive action steps toward all the resolutions we set for about a week or two. Then something happens – We can’t find our motivation, inspiration and determination.

Sound Familiar.

My friend and mentor Tom “Big Al” Schreiter told me once or maybe twice that the conscious mind is the size of a pea and the subconscious mind is the size of the Empire State Building. So what Mind is minding the store? You got it the subconscious mind.

Here is a new Technique that I have been putting in to play for the last couple of months with amazing success:

First – I have learned to accept myself exactly where I am. Realizing that my subconscious mind the size of the Empire State Building and learning from my readings about the Law of Attraction that the most important part of Deliberate Creation is not about making things happen through action. I have come to learn that it is not about what I am doing that makes the difference, it is how I am feeling about what I am doing that really matters.

Second – I keep it very simple, I set easy actions steps that I can control.

• For example in building my home based business I set an action step to talk to 2 new people per day, just speak to them, get to know them. As the opportunity arises, ask them “Would you like to know about something that has been helping people with _________________?”  This is an action I can control.
• In wanting to drop some weight, I have set the goal of drinking 8 glasses of water per day, getting more fiber in my diet by eating 2 cookies and adding fiber. This is an action I can control.

As I am taking the deliberate action, I am feeling better about myself, as I am taking the deliberate action, I am feeling better about myself & my subconscious mind is beginning to see me achieving what I want,  allowing me to be at a better feeling place. As I am feeling better, I am inspired to take more and more action. Creating habits that lead to success.

Wishing you deliberate creation in 2009.

Get your Crave On!

Truly astonishing what changing your thoughts can do. Almost immediately after my last post I got this overwhelming desire to workout. I mean so overwhelming I felt like I was going to explode if I did not get right to it.

So, with the help of Crave Energy Drink and my podcast, Couch to 5K, I did a walk/jog routine for 35 minutes on my treadmill. My treadmill is positioned so that I can see my dream board while I workout.

What a powerful visualization experience.

I felt myself running around the like of the home I intend to have by the time my son return from Iraq.

I experienced the skydiving trip I’ll be taking with my Aunt and daughter when she graduates Law School.

I got thrill bumps as I won a trip to Paris.

RE-IN-VIG-OR-ATE

Reinvigorate is a verb that means to give new energy or strength to

This is the time of year that hundreds of thousands of people all around the world make resolutions to reinvigorate their life.  Most of these resolutions come in the form of some type of action you resolve to take or not take.

I myself am not feeling comfortable in my clothes and dread shopping for new ones. I have already started dreading New Years Eve because I’ll be standing in front of my closet looking for something to wear. I have plenty of nice things; however nothing appeals to me because I don’t like the way I look right now.

• My choice right now is not whether or not I am at the perfect body weight.
• I have no choice other than to be at the body weight I am right now
• I am going to weight about this same thing tomorrow
• Changing my body weight RIGHT NOW is not an option
• Changing how I am thinking about my body weight is an option – a powerful one.

I understand from my readings about the Law of Attraction that the most important part of Deliberate Creation is not about making things happen through action. I have come to learn that it is not about what I am doing that makes the difference, it is how I am feeling about what I am doing that really matters.

Therefore, for me I will give new energy and strength to  seeing my body differently from the way it is. I will focus upon the body that is coming and distract myself from the negative aspects of my current physical body.

Oh..the voices in my head

Day 1 – Wednesday, October 29, 2008.

I woke up this morning with the thoughts in my head racing from one thought to another around this weight loss issue. Even though I was not physically “running” I was exhausted before I got to the kitchen to start making coffee. My brain felt like a little mouse was in it scurrying from one side of my head to the other.

“What do I eat?” What if I can’t do this?” “Oh, no, you said you would not “diet” again!” “What are you doing to yourself?” “Here you go again, on another all or nothing path.” AHHHHHHHHHH

I like to start my day sipping cup of coffee reading a book that allows me to grow personally. Thankfully I am reading the book The Amazing Power of Deliberate Intent-Living the Art of Allowing by Esther and Jerry Hicks. The moment I got my pipping hot cup of coffee, sat in my reading chair, relaxed and opened the book, I was saved from myself.

Abraham-Hicks states that awareness is the key to deliberate creation and that your emotions are your guidance system. I knew from the voices in my head that I my thoughts where not in alignment with the reality I wanted to create in my life. I sure has heck was not “letting thin in.” My desire is to achieve and maintain a healthy, attractive body weight.

I knew that I needed to improve my thoughts immediately if I was going to survive DAY 1. So, I decided to sit down and do one of the “Focus-Wheel Process”. Imagine that you are standing next to the merry-go-round and your intention is to jump on; however it is going so fast that when you try to get on, you cannot. That is the way my thoughts where inside my head. I had to find a way to “jump on” the merry-go-round.

So in order for me to feel better I drew a circle in the middle of a sheet of paper and wrote my desire – to achieve and maintain a healthy, attractive body weight – in the center of that circle. Around the outside I wrote my thoughts until I reached a bettering feeling thought.

“It’s possible for me to find a comfortable lifestyle that will give me the results I want.”

Greener Pastures to a Healthy Lifestyle

I am recovering from slapping myself in the head. You know, very much like the “I could have had a V8″ commercial. My head “really” hurts. It hurts to realize that I’ve been lying to myself. I am questioning how I could do this to myself. I realized that I have been “pretending” that I was changing my lifestyle. I should be at my goal weight and maintaining my lifetime membership at Weight Watchers.

I am not. It is time I woke up and realized that this is not about depriving myself or punishing myself with exercise. I actually enjoy working out and fresh fruits and vegies. This is about a true lifestyle. Creating new habits.

This blog will become my journal to help me and hopefully help others.

Hello world!

The pictures that got me started on this blogging journey.

Are those my arms!

Too sexy for my hat!

The instant I saw these photos on my iPhone, I know I had to make some lifestyle changes. I made an amazing change on July 7th. I decided I needed to see what life was like without booze. Well I stopped drinking; however I started eating more and more sweets.

Extra, Extra, read all about it.
