It’s an amazing observation and you’ll know this yourself , what you focus on you’ll get more of. Your mind will search for more evidence and detail to assist your focus.
Why is this important you ask?
If you focus on what you do not want or want to avoid – guess what -you”ll certainly get more of it because your brain is backing your call. It will do your biding.
So take away message is- FOCUS on what you want to happen AND say it in positive language as though it has already happened.
Let me give you an example.
“I have a healthy body, I look after it by feeding it nutritious, wholesome food, giving it regular exercise and enough sleep for it to function effectively in my busy daily schedule”. I just made that up, you can make up your own.
It may be helpful to write down your goals and refer to them regularly because this will help you to stay on track.
“You and I possess within ourselves at every moment of our lives, under all circumstances, the power to transform the quality of our lives.” ~Werner Erhard
Transformations involves change, something we often resist or are anxious about unless our reason to change is more powerful or compelling.
There’s always the little voice in our heads trying to keep us “safe” and to remain as we are now.
It helps to look at the benefits or the outcome of the change to move us forward. What will it mean when you have it? the change I mean. What will it look like and feel like? What are you willing to let go of to have it?
I had a former NLP trainer, Joe Pane, who used to say “You are either green and growing or ripe and rotting”
Now in order to grow, we have to step outside our comfort zone, learn new thoughts and new ways of looking at ourselves. Yes, it will be unfamiliar until we accept it and adopt it as a new value or belief.
“I’ve never seen any life transformation that didn’t begin with the person in question finally getting tired of their own nonsense.” ~Elizabeth Gilbert
So where or how do we start a transformation?
Finding our WHY is most important. Get that right and the rest will follow. Staying where you are or repe Sating the same thoughts will not change your outcome.
Can you language it? The change you want I mean. Write it down in black and white.
This is to get it out of your head and down where you can see it and work on it.
Give it a rating between 1-10 where 10 is super important. If it’s not 8 or more, forget it and find something that is.
Once you’ve worked out what it is you want and are prepared to act on it, then it is time to reinforce your reason why.
Get started without delay until completion. Review if you need to, keeping in mind what you wanted.
