Stop What You're Doing!


STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING...
  1. Go outside. Get some fresh air, it will clear your mind. 
  2. Take a walk or go for a run. Exercise your body. Healthy body = healthy mind.
  3. Try harder. For every task you approach today try harder than you normally would. Make a personal Challenge.
  4. Ask someone for help. Why make things harder than they need to be. There is always room for help.
  5. Do the thing(s) that you've been avoiding! Lift the weight of uncompleted tasks off of your shoulders. Things only seem harder the longer you wait.
  6. Interview someone more successful than you and take notes.
  7. Take five minutes to meditate or just breathe deeply right where you sit. Focus on nothing. Recharge.
  8. Make a list of your goals: weekly, monthly, yearly, whatever serves you best.
  9. Daydream. Visualize how it will feel when you achieve your goals. Even the smallest goals.
  10. Finish one task. Then another. That's progress.
  11. Help someone else.
  12. Read an article or book on improving your craft. Whatever you do, whatever level you're at, you can be better.
  13. Stop social networking and make a new friend. Meet someone new.
  14. Smile.
  15. For every negative thought that enters your mind, choose TWO positive thoughts to replace it.
  16. Laugh.
  17. Keep your head up. Show confidence through body language.
  18. Let go of "feelings." Focus on actions. It is only your actions that count for anything.
All it takes are a few changes everyday to improve the quality of your life and achieve the life your want. Take one of these tips, or all of them, and improve your life right now.

“Life without a purpose is a languid, drifting thing; every day we ought to review our purpose, saying to ourselves, 'This day let me make a sound beginning, for what we have hitherto done is naught!'

Technical Difficulties



I've had a few technical difficulties which have kept me from posting since the middle of last week but everything is up and running again. So GOOD MORNING and Happy  Monday!

Daily Inspiration: Tuesday

The positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.

Your actions and your thinking are two of the most important tools to greatness. Motivate yourself. Believe in the impossible and you will make history every time. But it's not just you, surround yourself with great (positive) people who challenge you to be and do better. Seize opportunities that are not there-create your own paths that lead to success. Make your own luck! 
When you stay positive you are create an environment that is conducive to success. Success will not "grow" if you don't feed yourself positive energy. So enjoy your Tuesday  morning, make room for all the positive energy and abundance that is waiting to enter your life.

Daily Inspiration: Monday

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts."

Winston Churchill



Good Morning and Happy Monday! As you approach this week, consider that TRUE success (wealth, happiness, abundance) comes from taking action and knowing that success doesn't come from just attacking one hurdle. You have to "rinse and repeat." Every obstacle to overcome, every achievement you make, is one more piece of armor (skill) preparing you for the next battle (or horse  race)! For every goal you cross off your list, reward yourself, and accept the next challenge with tenacity.

Thanks for Reading!

MANTRA


There's an new CD that I just got from my friends at The Holbrook Store. I downloaded the tracks instantly from the websiteMantra, "A tranquil soundtrack for yoga, meditation and relaxation." It's a great addition to your daily routine. The ambient music sets the mood for an amazing yoga or meditation practice. Music truly deepens the experience for me. I put it on to help me attain a deeper more restful sleep. You can check it out a sample track on YouTube here and pick up your copy today, here

The Meditation How To




Here is the meditation walk through I mentioned before. If you really want to master this awesome tool, you really need to make a commitment and practice. The benefits are better concentration, relaxation, better health, and an overall better (deeper) understanding of YOU. Enjoy...

  • Remember there is no wrong way or right way to meditate as long as you're getting the benefits. DO what feels peaceful and right to you. If you like music or an aromatic candle with your practice set those things up in your  quiet practice space. I recommend trying a few things to get your perfect practice.
  • Sit in a comfortable position, on the floor or in a chair. Whatever position your practice, keeping your back straight makes deep breath easier. If laying down works better for you make sure you're not so comfortable you fall asleep.
  • Start by closing your eyes.
  • Breathe in deeply, from your abdomen, feel your belly and rib cage fill with air as you inhale.
  • Release your breathe little by little, exhaling slowly.
  • Continue slow deep breaths. Concentrate on the cycle of breath filling your body and releasing. Be aware of the deep relaxation caused by renewing breath.
  • Be aware of the thoughts as they enter on your mind, acknowledge them (impassively) and let them pass with a breath. Refocus on your breathing.
  • If frustration comes (and it may), just be patient and let it pass. Overcoming the questioning, inner chatter, and distracting thoughts or surroundings is a major part of mastering your practice. Do not be discouraged. When doubt comes just breathe deeply and refocus your attention. Try to breathe in with a positive thought and then exhale with a positive thought. e.g. Breath in... peace...... breathe out.... focus.... breathe in peace.... breathe out focus. Use words or phrases that you want to bring into your life!
  • Your practice is over when you feel better, when your mind is quiet or calm. All it takes is five minutes to begin. Try to meditate in the same place and at the same time to begin with and add more time as you strengthen your practice.
Take Action! Give it a try today! The benefits are endless. If you missed the first post on pre-meditation tips, check it out here.
