Manifesting isn't easy...but it IS simple (the 3 game-changers)

Manifesting is not "easy," but it IS simple.  It comes down to 3 game-changers, 

which, when you learn how to do them right, become a habit.

Then the ease arrives.   
 
These are the 3 game-changers:

>  Desire. You MUST know your ultimate desire.  The first shift is to be full to the brim with conviction and clarity.

>  Focus. You must be fierce and unshakeable in your focus.  You must learn HOW to handle anyone and anything that breaks your focus.

>  Feel. The affirmation and the vision board matter WAY less than the feeling behind them.  This is where most people stumble--They're in their head, and are not authentically feeling the success/freedom/flow in their body.  But when you DO feel the desire authentically, God is able to move and respond in your life.

The hardest part is getting the clear picture in your head of what you want to achieve, and really feeling it like you already have it.  Once you have felt it and "know" it in thought, law of attraction kicks in to make the thought a reality - you still have to work and do all you can each day, but just be happy to know it's coming.

 

Set your priorities - a short story.

The Jar

A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the table in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, about 2 inches in diameter.

He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.

So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks.

He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.

The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up the remaining open areas of the jar.

He then asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded with a unanimous “Yes.”

“Now,” said the professor, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The rocks are the important things – your family, your partner, your health, your children – things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. 

The pebbles are the other things that matter – like your job, your house, your car. 

The sand is everything else, the small stuff.”

“If you put the sand into the jar first,” he continued, “there is no room for the pebbles or the rocks. The same goes for your life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, you will never have room for the things that are important to you. 

Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Play with your children. Take your partner out dancing. There will always be time to go to work, clean the house, give a dinner party, or fix the disposal.”
“Take care of the rocks first – the things that really matter.  Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.”

3 steps for building positive habits

Learn habits that stick and are sustainable.

Setting goals doesn't always work you must learn to establish habits that will lead you toward success.

1. Start small - a tiny habit is easier to stick to.

Do you resolve to exercise more often? Start with just 10 pushups a day or a short jog around the neighborhood — something so quick that there’s no excuse not to do it. Once a habit begins to feel natural, increase the amount of time or effort you spend.

2. Fit new habits together with existing habits

Choose a habit that’s already second nature, then schedule your new habit immediately after. Think about your own days: what existing habits can be extended or transformed?

If you’ve resolved to read more, place a book next to your cup of morning coffee. If you intend to brush up on a new language, stick vocabulary cards into your gym bag and take advantage of that post-workout jolt of energy. Existing habits can be a seamless gateway to new activities.

3. Practice makes perfect

You’ll probably need a few nudges before your habit truly becomes second nature. Create checkpoints to help you stay on track: enlist a friend to keep you honest, set alarms throughout the day, or mark your successes on a calendar.

The more regularly you practice your new activity, the more quickly it’ll become a part of your life.

Make each moment count.

It is not the quantity in your life that matters, but the quality that you experience during each moment.

We live in an age of quantity. The media shapes us with the idea that larger and faster means better. We are told that we need to find more time, own more possessions, and have more love to be truly happy, however, a smaller quantity of anything that is high in quality will almost always be more satisfying. A single piece of our favorite chocolate or a thin spread of freshly made preserves can satisfy us more than a full bucket of a product that we aren’t very fond of.  It is not the quantity of time that matters, but the quality that you experience during each moment. Every minute is an opportunity to love yourself and others, develop confidence and self-respect, and exhibit courage.




Ultimately, quality can make life sweeter. When you focus on quality, all your life experiences can be meaningful. A modest portion of good, healthy food can nourish and satisfy you on multiple levels. Likewise, a few hours of deep, restful slumber will leave you feeling more refreshed than a night’s worth of frequently interrupted sleep. A few minutes spent with a loved one catching up on the important details about family, work, or community can carry more meaning than two hours spent watching television together.

Often, in the pursuit of quantity we cheat ourselves of quality. Then again, quantity also plays a significant role in our lives. Certain elements, such as hugs, kisses, abundance, and love, are best had in copious amounts that are high in quality. But faced with the choice between a single, heartfelt grin and a lifetime of empty smiles, most would, no doubt, choose the former. 

Ultimately, it is not how much you live or have or do but what you make of each moment that counts.

3 Secrets To Manifesting ANYTHING You Desire!

Here are 3 Secrets to manifestation that can transform your life today...

Secret 1: Thinking Faster Increases Manifestation

The universe operates quickly and efficiently. By making your own thoughts quick and efficient, you tap into the primordial creative power of the universe. The quicker you can think, the quicker you can manifest. This is the law.

Here's a key lesson to remember: 

Slow thinkers = slow manifesters

 Fast thinkers = fast manifesters 

Secret 2: You Must Stop Your Thinking To Manifest

Controlled absence of thinking is what creates manifestation. This means you need to create a state of Silence inside of your mind and maintain this as much as you can.

What you must understand is that your own thoughts are the barrier to manifestation. When the thoughts are controlled, the barriers are released and all of the creative energies of manifestation can increase without limit.

To control your thoughts is about understanding the whole operation of your mind and knowing what to do to increase your thought power.

Secret 3: You Must Surround Yourself With The People Who Have What You Want

A great secret is that the people you surround yourself with has the biggest influence over your life. If you want to change what happens in your life, you need to change the people you associate with.

Positive, happy and successful people are the biggest tools you have for manifestation. No exception! Get around these people as much as you can and watch your manifestations sky rocket. 

Look at your life right now and ask yourself this serious question: Who is the most successful person in your life right now? How often do you associate with them? Could you do with associating with better people to change your manifestation level?

I hope this text has blessed you in better understanding some of the key secrets to manifestation.

R U OK Day - 12 september

R U OK? Day 2013 – 12 September 2013

Ask one question & save a life - what a great Idea....

Just three little words could save someone's life and no they aren't 'I love you'. Although that would be great also but I am actually talking about asking someone, 'Are you ok'? Or in this case, R U Ok? Seems simple doesn't it, however, we get so caught up in our own lives that it's easy to forget to ask.
-------------------------------------------------

Below are some simple steps to start a conversation - this is something I believe we should try to do EVERYDAY - but R U OK day is a great start :-)

This is taken from the R U Ok Day? Website:
1. Ask R U OK?
 
Start a general conversation; preferably somewhere private.
Break the ice with a joke.
Build trust through good eye contact, open and relaxed body language.
Ask open–ended questions.
'What's been happening? How are you going?'
'I've noticed that... What's going on for you at the moment?'
'You don't seem like yourself and I'm wondering are you ok? Is there anything that's contributing?'

2. Listen without judgement

Guide the conversation with caring questions and give them time to reply.
Don't rush to solve problems for them.
Help them understand that solutions are available when they're ready to start exploring these.
'How has that made you feel?'
'How long have you felt this way?'
'What do you think caused this reaction?'

3. Encourage action

Summarise the issues and ask them what they plan to do
Encourage them to take one step, such as see their doctor
'Would you like me to make an appointment or come with you?'

4. Follow up

Put a note in your diary to call them in one week. If they're desperate, follow up sooner.
Ask if they've managed to take that first step and see someone
If they didn't find this experience helpful, urge them to try a different professional because there's someone out there who can help them.
'How are things going? Did you speak with your doctor?'
'What did they suggest? What did you think of their advice?'
'You've had a busy time. Would you like me to make the appointment?'


Meaningful conversations and a sense of connection are what make us feel valued and supported. The R U OK? Foundation hopes to empower and encourage people to make a difference to the significant and devastating issue of suicide in Australia. On Thursday, 12th September ask the question and help make every conversation count.

Fwd: 7 ways to stop stress from crippling your mind and your body

I received this sales email from Carolyn and because of the great content thought it worthy of sharing in it's entirety - enjoy.


Hi Ian,

This is Carolyn Hansen.

Is your life stressful?

I know that mine is at times. Very stressful. But I have come
to realize that stress is something you can never completely
escape. Not if you want to improve your lot in life.

It is like the inseparable ying and yang of ancient eastern
ways of thinking. Progress and stress go hand in hand in this
world of ours. Very, very few of us manage to skate by on
a stress-free life.

But you definitely CAN minimize the influence that stressful
events have on your mind and body by learning how to deliberately
create your own path to success, no matter what your particular
goals might be. My friend, Dr. Robert Anthony, of whom I have
spoken in the past, is one of the foremost experts in this area:

Learn The Secret of Deliberate Creation

He understands, probably better than anyone, that stress can
cripple the mind and forestall your goals - sometimes for an
entire lifetime! Well, I'm going to remind you today that stress
is also a major player in the deterioration of one's long-term
health.

As a fitness professional I can tell you that unchecked stress
is responsible for a host of debilitating conditions. Not only
can it lead to nervous exhaustion and raise the likelihood of
a cardiovascular incident that can rob you of years of life,
stress also does a terrific job of lowering your metabolism
and causing you to start accruing nuisance pounds around your
midsection. That's right - prolonged stress can make you fat!

So what can you do about this?

I am not going to pretend that everyone faces the same kind of
stresses daily that I do, or the clients I advise daily who are
constantly looking for ways to minimize the stresses that plague
them. But I can offer you SEVEN stress-management strategies
which can be used to reduce the stresses in your life:

[1] Lower Your Exposure To Media

You are unlikely to be surprised when I tell you that the majority
of information coming from television and newspapers is negative
and causes fear and worry. Sure, we all want to stay connected to
the outside world and know what is going on. But the majority of
that information is delivered after being filtered according to
what sells. Bad news draws us back to the media source more than
good news does. An unfortunate side effect is stress, but it does
keep the media companies in business. Realize this and try to keep
the world picture they paint in perspective.

[2] Sever Your Toxic Relationships

Your relationships with other people, especially those you see on
a daily basis, have probably the most profound influence on the
quality of your life. Toxic relationships, which are all too
common, can be a source of extreme stress. If you have people in
your life who are obnoxious, controlling, disrespectful or
unnecessarily intimidating, you need to find a way to minimize
your exposure to them. This can be hard to do, but the payoff
in stress reduction can be HUGE.

[3] Revise Your Nutrition And Your Exercise Schedule

I'll cover this in more detail some other time, since I can write
volumes on this subject! The most important thing I can remind you
about is that food with poor nutritional content (which is just
about every piece of food you have access to during your working
hours) is going to poison your system and stress your metabolic
and nervous systems. On the same note, unless you are exercising
with the intent of reversing the effects of aging, your lack of
physical activity will only compound the other effects of stress
in your life.

[4] Get A Decent Amount Of Sleep

Try to get a full 8 hours of sleep each night. I read about a
recent study which showed that people who lack sleep end up
gaining more weight than those who get proper rest. Lack of
sleep elevates your stress, and stressed out people eat more
junk food to try to relax themselves. At least, that's my take
on this.

[5] Meditate

Meditation is a wonderful way to cleanse your mind. It can help
eliminate obsessive thoughts which worry you unnecessarily.
Meditation also gives you an opportunity to focus your attention
on developing practical plans of action for getting what you
want, and for creative problem solving. This is a habit that has
been practiced for thousands of years, and for good reason,
it works!

[6] Bring A Pet Into Your Home

While I think this is especially good advice if you are single,
studies also show that couples who have pets have a better
chance of maintaining a healthy relationship. I have two dogs that
help keep me grounded and more physically active than I otherwise
would be (since I have to take them on long walks). Pets add a
great deal of joy to your life because their love is unconditional
and they are always there when you need them. Also, they give you
a greater sense of purpose in your life because you have something
counting on you for survival.

[7] Increase Your Financial Independence

I left this one til last because I wanted to underscore its
importance. Lack of money is right up there as a source of
severe stress in the lives of most people. Many personal
relationships come apart at the seams when money does not
materialize at the rate that people had hoped for, and it can
be easy to blame the other person for where you are now in
your life. This is why getting on top of wealth creation can
be one of the most important things you can do to reduce the
stresses in your life.

For this, I can offer no one better to show you how to go
about achieving this goal than Dr. Robert Anthony, and his
widely acclaimed book "The Secret of Deliberate Creation":

Click here to discover The Secret of Deliberate Creation

There is a good reason why the number of books he has sold
reaches into the millions, and you will discover why when you
begin to read the story behind his own journey to success.

By the way, you'll find that Robert is bundling a large
number of titles from his library as bonuses for "The Secret
of Deliberate Creation". So this is a particularly good
title of his to grab if you want to get the full story.

To a better, more stress free life,

Carolyn Hansen

5 Key Habits of Successful People You Need To Emulate

Though everyone's definition of success is different, it is fairly easy to place that label on the person with the broad grin on their face who seems to have it all figured out. Regardless of what you hope to become successful with, there are ways to move towards your goals and, eventually, conquer them. 1. Have an End in Mind Before you can accomplish a goal, you need to figure out what that goal is. By clearly defining a goal to yourself, you put yourself into a "no compromises" position. Internal pressure and excitement of the end result motivate you to move forward with your project, rather than stopping half way through. That being said, it is a good idea to ensure that the goal is attainable. If you are aiming high, try breaking it down into smaller, bite-sized chunks. This helps you feel you are moving forward with the project, rather than feeling as though it will never get finished. 2. Have a Schedule Many people feel that there's not enough hours in a day to allow them to finish all the tasks. The best way around is to become particular about how you spend your time. If you have work that needs to be done, set aside a certain amount of time for you to work on it. This helps you to avoid the pitfalls of excuses like "I will finish it after this", which evolves into "I do not have time today. Maybe I will do it tomorrow". 3. Be Persistent Small failures are inevitable in any endeavor. By taking failures positively, rather than negatively, you have a higher chance of attaining success. When you do fail, do not ignore it and push that aspect of whatever you are working on to the back burner. Attacking it head-on is the only way to overcome adversity, and this is best accomplished by simply trying again. 4. Be Positive Negativity has rarely impacted a project positively. By finding the silver lining to any problems that may arise and approaching them with positivity, you will find it far easier to combat them. As well, looking at your endeavor in a positive light in general will help you accomplish what you like. Knowing the good that could result from what you are working on can help you feel more motivated. 5. Communicate and Have a Team Everyone needs help or a positive boost at some point, and having a team of cheerleaders, well-wishers, or helpers can provide this. Communicating effectively to each team member ensures different aspects will be taken care of as you planned, reducing mistakes and failure rates. A small group of people you can lean on and bounce ideas off of can lend creativity and stability to your work. Having all these 5 key habits, keeping it and putting it into practice to be successful in life. Then you will be sure to be able to combat all the challenges that life throws at you.

FIVE TIPS TO SAVE YOUR TIME

Some quick strategies to free up some extra time in our busy schedules..

1. Do certain things fewer times

Things that can be done less or things that can be done once instead of twice are those things that will help us save a lot of time. Example: clean your house once every ten days instead of every 7 days – you can do that, it’s normal and the house won’t get dirty in those three extra days.

Make a work report every six week not every four weeks if possible.

Keep meetings to inform yourself on ongoing projects twice a month not every week. And the list of things that can be done fewer times can go on forever.

2. Compete with yourself!

Watch the clock and settle to finish an activity by a certain hour. Focus, get rid of anything that could distract you and work more efficiently. (Television is a big time waster for me personally).

3. Ask more out of 15 minutes.

Can you find 15 minutes a day that you could use more efficiently? Is there lost time in your activities? Or maybe a less important activity you can give up on? If you manage to save 15 minutes every day, you will win in fact 91 hours every year!

4. Do a list of little activities that don’t take you more than a couple of minutes.

Of course, we usually want to deal with the important problems first. But when we feel tired, stressed, in a bad mood, we find it hard to concentrate and we lose our time forcing ourselves. A list of simple activities will help you finalize something and push up your productivity. And obviously it is always better to know you did something, even is it is small, than to realize you haven’t even started anything.

5. Work on a certain project over a certain period of time.

Rather than to try and finalize an activity at once, it is better to tell yourself: “ I will work on this for 15 minutes and see how much I can get done during this interval”. Focus and try to do all you can during those 15 minutes. This is an excellent advice to solve problems or projects you avoided lately.

 
    “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.”

― Thomas A. Edison

Make Your List

Make Your List 

  ______________________A Stress relief tip________________________

Even though you may not realize it, there are most likely specific situations that cause stress time and again. By putting your finger on exactly what they are, you can begin to fix or avoid the things that constantly add stress and tension to your life. 

Get out a sheet of paper and a pencil. Begin by thinking back to stressful times and what specific things caused them. Then, keep the list handy for two weeks and record the cause of any stress you experience during that period. After two weeks, create a master list of stress causers and spend time thinking of specific remedies for each one. The solution may be as simple as taking a different route to work or getting up fifteen minutes earlier to handle tasks in the morning.

Another great pencil method is described in post De-clutter your Mind

Wake Up with the Sun

Wake Up with the Sun 

  ______________________A Stress relief tip________________________

 You're sound asleep and dreaming peacefully. And then, out of nowhere, you're shocked awake by the screeching of an buzzing alarm. It's easy to see why such a routine can get things started off on the wrong foot. Instead of being startled every morning, try using natural light to wake you up. 

Studies have shown that the light of dawn alerts your body to wrap up your dreams, raises your body temperature, and begins releasing the hormones you need to function throughout the day. So leave the blinds open tonight and wake up with the sun. 

(Afraid of oversleeping? Keep an alarm nearby just in case.)

Take Action

In order to make our dreams come true, we must take action rather than simply wishing for what we want.

There is a popular misconception that we might be able to just wish our dreams into being. Maybe on some other level of consciousness this is the case, but we need to take action in our lives. When we focus on what we want and ask for what we want, we are initiating a conversation with the universe. Our desires, passionately defined and expressed, bring about valuable and relevant opportunities, which we then respond to by either taking or leaving them.

 

Many of us are afraid to step out into the world and make things happen, and so we hang back, dreaming and waiting and watching. There are times in life when this is the right thing to do, but this phase of inaction must eventually give way to its opposite if we are to build our dreams into a reality. This can be really scary, and we may fail and struggle, but that’s okay because that’s what we’re supposed to do. Waiting for everything to be perfect before we act, or waiting for what we want to be handed to us, leaves us waiting forever. No one expects us to be perfect, so the best thing we can do for ourselves is to get out there and take action on our dreams.

Our actions shape our lives, but what we don't take action on can be just as powerful.

Life is sculpted on a moment-to-moment basis. Every one of the thoughts we think, the words we speak, and the actions we take contributes to the complex quality and character of the universe’s unfolding. It simply is not possible to be alive without making an impact on the world that surrounds us. Every action taken affects the whole as greatly as every action not taken. And when it comes to making the world a better place, what we choose not to do can be just as important as what we choose to do.

For example, when we neglect to recycle, speak up, vote, or help somebody in immediate need, we are denying ourselves the opportunity to be an agent for positive change. Instead, we are enabling a particular course to continue unchallenged, picking up speed even as it goes along. By holding the belief that our actions don’t make much of a difference, we may find that we often tend to forego opportunities for involvement. Alternatively, if we see ourselves as important participants in an ever-evolving world, we may feel more inspired to contribute our unique perspective and gifts to a situation.

it is important that we honor our impulse to help and take the action that feels right for us. It may be offering a kind word to a friend, giving resources to people in need, or just taking responsibility for our own behavior. By doing what we can, when we can, we add positive energy to our world. And sometimes, it may be our one contribution that makes all the difference.
