Believe in your unlimited potential

"You cannot see anything that you do not first contemplate as a reality." -- Ramtha How do you typically define yourself? Do you tell yourself and others that you are slow and methodical, that you have two left feet, that you are lazy, or unimaginative or that you can’t hang on to money? In our unconscious self talk, most of us rarely say positive things about ourselves. List the positive and the negative ways you describe yourself. Then look over your list and contemplate how those definitions limit your ability to be cosmic in your outlook and performance. "Belief has the word ‘lie’ in it... and that pretty much sums up what the world has us believing about ourselves." -- Doug Firebaugh "We are what we believe we are." -- Benjamin N. Cardozo As we are spiritual beings, the root of all of our life challenges lies in the spiritual realm...

Stretch yourself

"People are defeated by easy, victorious and cheap successes more than by adversity." -- Benjamin Disraeli Today’s social standard is one of mediocrity. The status quo rarely challenges our individual creative power. Create a brand new world for yourself, one that meets your deepest needs. By doing so, you will help raise the quality of consciousness of the entire world. Use your imagination! Sing your own song! "Success means fulfilling your own dreams, singing your own song, dancing your own dance, creating from your heart and enjoying the journey, trusting that whatever happens, it will be OK. Creating your own adventure!" -- Elana Lindquist Be supported every week for one full year to have clear goals and stay on track. Make your next year much better than the last year.

What are you procrastinating?

"The greatest amount of wasted time is the time not getting started."

-- Dawson Trotman

Procrastination seriously drains our energy and our morale. What remains undone nags at us.

What are you avoiding? Make a list of items and then review each one. Does it really need to be done? After you've reviewed your list, prioritize it and start one task today.

Please do not procrastinate taking one minute to write down your answer to this question. Capture it on paper and this will help build awareness, commitment and discipline.

"How soon not now, becomes never."

-- Martin Luther

"Talk does not cook rice."

-- Chinese proverb

"Do you know what happens when you give a procrastinator a good idea? Nothing!"

-- Donald Gardner

Never have time for what you really want in life? Take control of the time of your life by changing your mind. Understand time from a higher perspective...

Why are you doing that?

"What we see depends mainly on what we look for." -- Sir John Lubbock Throughout the day, continually ask yourself about your underlying motivation. Why are you doing what you are doing? Is it for selfish, manipulative or fearful reasons? Is it for honest service with integrity? Maybe you’ll discover you don’t know. Perhaps you will see that much of your activity lacks purpose. This is a great way to become more conscious. Your intention and motives are fundamental to the results you will receive. Set high intentions and your life will blossom. "The great thing in the world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving." -- Oliver Wendell Holmes Access your own inner wisdom by tapping into your subconscious and intuition. Release stress, blocks and negative emotions, and spark imagination and greater vision...

Use your breath to relax your body

"Breath is the link between the inner and outer worlds."

-- Alice Christensen

We live in very demanding times, and our health depends on our being able to relieve our bodies and minds from constant stress. Breathing with awareness can focus and concentrate our attention inside. This slows down our pace and eases the pressure, anxiety, anticipation and excitement that are common stress reactions.

At any time, you can consciously experience your breathing to help you concentrate your mind and relax your body. Compare how you feel after your session with how you felt before. Write about your experience in your journal.

"Controlled deep breathing helps the body to transform the air we breathe into energy. The stream of energized air produced by properly executed and controlled deep breathing produces a current of inner energy which radiates throughout the entire body and can be channeled to the body areas that need it the most, on demand."

-- Nancy Zi

Awareness is the key to all change. Begin to trust yourself more deeply as you uncover new dimensions of who you are. Go on a journey of self-discovery...

Live in relaxation

"It would be glorious to see mankind at leisure for once. It is nothing but work, work, work." -- Henry David Thoreau Is relaxation possible only when we’re not working? No. With awareness and practice, we can be relaxed no matter what we are doing. In fact, when we work in a relaxed state, our productivity increases as our effort decreases. For true relaxation, we need to connect with our bodies -- to consciously and intentionally become aware of tension and release it. "Anxiety breaks a man’s backbone." -- Hebrew proverb "Don't hurry, don't worry. You're only here for a short visit. So be sure to stop and smell the flowers." -- Walter Hagen Step by step, progressively learn basic meditation methods to relax, concentrate, focus, reflect, contemplate and illuminate...
