A Simple Exercise To Develop Your Focus And Be Happy

It only takes a few minutes to experience the difference between what it feels like to be focused and being distracted – I’ve been enabling people to focus for over fifteen years and I know that it works. And each Monday and Wednesday, my personal development online readers get simple tips and tricks on how to focus their mind – and it’s free! And every day, people all over the world sign up to my online workshops to learn exactly the same thing. So, what is focus all about?

Firstly, you need to understand that focus doesn’t come naturally. The normal adult mind is either thinking about the past or worrying about the future. The worry you know about – research shows that the majority of people are worried about not having any money, worried about how their children are turning out, worried about work, worried about growing old. For each stage of life there is a set of worries. And all this worry is focused on things that didn’t happen yet – and, more to the point, things that we actually don’t want to happen! What kind of idiot wastes their energy on stuff that they don’t want to happen? A normal idiot!

Whilst we are all conscious of worry, we’re not aware that our subconscious mind is focused on the past and it’s because of the past that we worry about the future! We learned the things that we don’t like about ourselves when we were young – and our subconscious mind continues to play the same old broken record. And you never know that this is happening, so you’ve never realized that you could do something about the problem.

What you do need to realize is that you don’t have to do anything to sort things out if you learn to focus your mind on the here and now. Yeah, that’s what focus is – a now thing. This is where you live your life, this is when you could do your very best if you were focused, now is the only time and place that you can be, you have no choice. The choice you have, however, is whether you’ll bother to turn up for your life or not. Once you decide to turn up, everything will be transformed.

OK then, what do you have to do to focus? Well, here’s your first training session, right here, right now. Sit down somewhere where you won’t be disturbed for five minutes. When you’ve got comfortable, close your eyes and do nothing except hear. You’re thoughts will try to distract you but, when this happens, just latch onto the next sound that comes your way. When you try something as simple as this, you teach your mind to pay attention to what is going on in just this moment – and that is what focus is.

And even if you just started with a couple minutes of sitting and listening, you’ll discover something very important – the real world has nothing to do with the crap in your head that you’ve been paying all of your attention to.

Don’t Get Lost In Self Improvement

Do you read a lot of self help books? Because many people that I know are forever reading, always learning, endlessly searching, Unfortunately, however, it is not reading that changes your life, but doing.

Constantly reading self help books is not dissimilar to collecting loads of holiday brochures and travel guides about an exotic destination that you long to visit. You’ve poured over photographs, read the advice, imagined what it would be like to be there, immersed yourself in the idea of being there. However, you’ll never pluck up the courage to buy the ticket. What’s my point? Reading about how to achieve the life that you really want and doing something about it are two entirely different things. Reading all those feel-good stories about how others have taken the required action and, as a consequence, changed their lives, may well give you that longing feeling inside. But tomorrow morning, when you drag yourself out of bed for another normal day, what will have changed? Nothing! When you’re confronted with another day of hassle, stress, financial shortage or low self-confidence, what good will all the books have done you? If anything, you’ll be even more restless and more dissatisfied than you were in the first place.

Reading, understanding and intellectually appreciating what it takes to change your life is going to make no difference to your life until you put what you’ve learned into daily practice. And that’s just too big a hassle for most normal people – they’re fearful of taking what they believe as some really risky leap of faith.

If you’ve been lucky enough to come across a self help book that has step-by-step tips on how to change your life (and there aren’t many of them – most of them are ‘feel-good books’) then surely you’ve realized by now that there is no leap of faith required. All you need to take is take simple steps, every day, that will awaken you from the stupor in which most normal people are merely existing.

To change your life, you have to change the way you’re living the life that you have at present. Change can start small – by doing something as simple as changing your morning routine – because small things get your subconscious mind out of its comfort zone. Once out you will start to understand that every single thing in your life can be done differently. When this realization hits you, you will find yourself in a completely different place – where things that were otherwise unthinkable suddenly become the logical thing to do – and easily doable.

In fact, it’s you who has to start doing the things that will change your life, to stop reading and start doing.

What Good Will Personal Development Training Do You?

Short answer to a short question: “none!” – unless, of course, you’re prepared to put what you’ve learned into practice. And that’s where most people fall down. OK, they spent a day or two and it was a breath of fresh air, they felt renewed, uplifted, ready to change their world. But research has shown that it takes approximately six weeks for the benefits of the average training course to vanish – completely – and personal development training is no exception.

But how could this happen? Because it’s easier to stay the same – it’s easier to continue being “not too bad” when everybody around you is not too bad as well. It’s easier to not have your friends – or, as some of my personal development clients have told me, their family – looking at you as if you’re some kind of born-again weirdo! It’s easier to fit in. And, it doesn’t matter what new skills we learn, sooner or later, to a greater or lesser extent, we revert to type, we re-set to default, we go back to being normal. But normal is crazy – there’s seventy years of research that proves that. And not-too-bad isn’t good enough when you think about the life that you could have – effortless happiness, effortless success, peace of mind.

So, what will you do to change your life? Because, you need to understand, if you want you life to change, you’re the one who’s going to have to do something new, something different. Don’t pay any attention to anybody who tells you that you can change your life in five minutes – they’re after a quick buck. Don’t listen to anybody who will tell you that success is all about making cart-loads of money – they’re the ones who want loads of money and some of it is yours! Don’t listen to people who keep recommending the latest wonderful book that they’ve just read to you – you won’t change your life by reading – you only change your life by doing.

What have you got to do? You change your life by doing things in your life differently. Try starting with little things – like try brushing your teeth with the hand that you don’t normally use – then your mind will get used to the idea that, in every single thing that you do in your life and in every single situation in which you find yourself in your life – you have a choice. You have a choice – can choose to live automatically and mindlessly like all the normal crazy people that are content to be not-too-bad, or you can choose to focus on the moment, feel the toothbrush’s bristles on your teeth, notice how differently you’re holding the brush, taste the toothpaste. It’s in the small detail of everyday life that you will find reality. And when you find reality, you will discover that you can, indeed, achieve effortless happiness and success because, in reality, it simply happens.

To Change Your Life You’ve Got To Change Your Life!

Most people want more out of life. This is not to say that you’re unhappy with what you have. In fact, the secret to happiness is wanting what you have. But that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t want to scale the highest peaks of success and happiness because there is no standing still in life.

But there are people who are desperately unhappy with their situation – in fact, most people claim to be unhappy in their job, a staggering number of people worry about money and then there are others who are simply and often deeply unhappy with themselves as persons.

What you need to understand is that you’ll never get more out of life by wanting or by being dissatisfied with things as they stand. The one thing that stops you getting something different out of life is – and this is kind of obvious – that you tend to do everything the same. Keep doing the same things and nothing will change. If you want change in your life, you’re going to have to do actually change your life!

But what? Like all great journeys, changing your life starts with the first step. A small step will suffice because you’re going to have to gradually recondition your mind – to get yourself comfortable with the idea that, in everything that you do in life, you have a choice to do something different, something new. One of the most powerful exercises that I propose to my personal development clients is that they use the very routine that has anchored to their current life to dismantle the habitual, repetitive patterns of behaviour that have so constrained them, their view of life and the boundless possibilities that life holds for them.

I propose the same powerful yet simple tip to you. Break routine by using your routine. Every morning, you will find yourself with a load of little chores that you’ve been doing in a routine manner every day of your adult life. However, if you do something as simple as brushing your teeth with the hand that you don’t normally use, you will have reached two, potentially life-changing, milestones. Firstly, you will have woken up to the obvious truth that, in every single thing that you do in your life, you have a choice. This awareness will enable you break every single destructive habit that is holding you back from the life that you really want. Secondly, because you’ll be brushing your teeth differently, you’ll have to pay more attention to the task. Highly successful people call this ‘focus’. Focus just means paying attention – to whatever it is that you’re doing right here, right now.

Life is made up of moments – each moment that you pay attention is a moment well spent – you relearn how to be fully focused, fully aware of what needs to be done when life’s big decisions call for real action – not the repetitive reaction of the normal doomed-to-failure mind.

Goal Setting: Achieving Your Heart’s Desire

Research in the fields of psychology and personal development has indicated that the subconscious mind is cybernetic – like a heat-seeking missile, point at a target and it will hit it. In simple terms, give it an objective in which it believes and it will, by its own devices, achieve that goal. Your subconscious mind is working in this manner already. Unfortunately, however, the outcomes in which the normal subconscious mind believes are a random concoction of the programs we learned as children in relation to how the world works and our place in it.

In addition, psychology has confirmed that the latent state of the normal adult mind is negative. As a result, if you’re normal, your subconscious heat-seeking capability is targeted at, at the very best, a life that’s not too bad – and that is the kind of life that you get. The directional programs which the normal mind uses as its guidance system were uploaded during our formative years. We learned by watching others’ lives and by being impressed by things that were done for us or to us. Having grown up in a normal world our onboard computer is set on “normal”. And, because psychology indicates that normal people don’t control their own mind, our cybernetic minds are out of control, delivering results that we don’t want.

The alternative is to focus your mind to a goal in which it believes and its cybernetic capability will bring that goal about. Of course, you need to know how to reprogram your coordinates! In this context, belief is not wishing, hoping or wanting. The subconscious mind processes sensory data – so believing is seeing, feeling, hearing, smelling and tasting what you want as if you have it already, as if it’s taken as given. Programming your new objectives is simply done by handwriting what you want, in those sensory terms, as if you’ve already experienced it. Handwriting impresses the subconscious mind and, once done, the subconscious mind will set about its task – the only thing that will divert it is if you start wondering when what you want will happen (that’s the kind of useless thinking that sends your mind off its plotted course).

I’ve worked with plenty of clients who have got their desired outcome – I’ve also known a few who, having achieved it, realized that it was not what they really wanted. Therefore, you need to be careful what you wish for! As a result, as I suggest to my clients, your actual goal setting should be non-specific in terms of the life you want or how you’ve achieved it but very specific in terms of what it looks, feels, sounds, smells and tastes like to have arrived. So, the bottom line is set your mind on success and happiness, without any preconceived notions, and you’re about to set off on the adventure of a lifetime.

The Secret Of Success: Unleashing Your Inspiration

It may be myth – but often myths are basic facts lost in the fog of time – that, having searched for many years to discover the meaning of life, the Buddha became enlightened when he was simply sitting under a tree. It may also be legend, but legend has it that Sir Isaac Newton made is most important scientific discovery, once again, whilst sitting under a tree. And although it was an apple that reputedly dropped for Newton, you’ve got to find your own tree to allow your very own pennies to drop for you – your personal development depends upon it.

Only a clear and uncluttered mind can be inspired. And the normal mind is anything but clear and uncluttered. Psychology suggests that the normal mind is overwhelmed by random thought – some fifty thousand random thoughts zip through our minds every single day. Most of those thoughts are innocuous but, research concludes, some of those thoughts are self-destructive – I was going to say positively self-destructive but that would be a contradiction – these negative thoughts are toxic. These are the thoughts that create the illusions of low self-esteem, worry, anxiety, stress and depression. Left to its own devices, the adult mind simply cannot be inspired.

And is life worth living without the excitement of inspiration? Surely life is nothing more than going through the motions if you’re not excited and delighted by the exhilaration of the out-of-the-ordinary? However, the out-of-the-ordinary is all too rare an event for the normal mind that merely exists in the comfort of the routine. However, if you don’t stir yourself out of this deadly slumber you will simply not have lived life to the full. Not only that, you’ll be a negative influence on those around you – in particular those who you claim to love.
Everyone is capable of being inspired and being inspirational. You are capable of escaping from the norm and living your very best life. But you must make space for inspiration, you’ve got to give yourself the uncluttered and clear time to let the inner you out. Our next-door neighbour in the Alps has often asked me what I do for a living. And, even though I have explained it to him on a number of occasions, he still seeks clarification – in his own words “It seems to me and my wife that you spend a lot of time doing nothing!”

Doing nothing is not a waste of time. Doing nothing can often be time most fruitfully spent. The peace and clarity of mind that comes with spending time doing nothing is the incubation chamber in which inspirational ideas simply spring to life. Thomas Edison found that he only became inspired in his mind’s quiet moments to the extent that he set about creating quiet moments for his mind every day. Edison had over four hundred inventions patented in his name. Pablo Picasso said that he was never sure when inspiration would strike so he made it his business to cultivate a prepared mind.

Are you prepared to be inspired? How often do you simply let your mind set off on flights of fancy? I’m not talking about wandering into negative thought – I’m talking about effortlessly allowing your mind wander onto what normal people would find undoable or unachievable. Such things are only undoable to a normal mind constrained by preconceived negative notions. De-program yourself – let yourself go, let yourself off the hook of normal ‘living inside the box’. Find your tree, sit under it and spend some quality time doing nothing.

Changing Your Life: Who’s The Next Most Important Stranger?

Think this through – the people who are the most important to you were at one stage total strangers to you. Whether by coincidence or what Carl Jung might consider synchronicity – or, indeed, what a quantum physicist might consider as a type of quantum entanglement – you are where you now are as a result of apparently random events at the core of which are people who were, when you met them first, complete and utter strangers.

When we were young we were told, as many children were and still are, not to talk to strangers. Of course, there is a lot of sense in that from the point of view of protecting your children from the undoubted presence of some very strange people in this world. However, unfortunately, the subliminal message that stays with us into later life is that we should avoid getting involved with whoever we might casually encounter in the course of everyday life.

Indeed, in the course of those normal daily adult lives, the fact is that we’d never really notice a stranger anyway – because, during our formative years, we developed a self-preservational psychological facility to categorize new people that we encounter without giving any attention to who they might actually be or the importance of the role that they migh play in our lives. As a consequence of our pre-programming and our ability for categorization, we pay no attention to people that we don’t know. The next time you’re on a subway, metro, tube, bus or train or in an elevator, observe how carefully people avoid making any kind of contact at all.

What are these people missing? Perhaps the next most important complete stranger in their lives. You haven’t the first clue who might change the course of your career, who might become your most important customer ever, who might become a life-long friend and mentor. You have no idea who might be the next person to change your life. But you’re not going to find out if you can’t start paying attention.

Wake up. Opportunity abounds – but is totally missed by the automatic normal mind that’s too closed and blind to see anything. Psychology proves that the normal person only perceives what they expect to perceive and only experience what they expect to experience. What a death sentence we’ve all been given – by our programming and by our own inaction and dread of taking the small leap of faith that making personal contact with a total stranger requires.

You’ve got to open your eyes, you have to smell the roses, experience life’s opportunities and go with the flow of a world that is simply waiting to respond to you. I do not propose that you start behaving irrationally and outrageously in public places! I am suggesting that you put up your antennae, start tuning into the here and now, let yourself off the hook of your normal life. Because, until you do, you normal life will never be anything but mundanely, repetitively and boringly normal – and it will be your own stupidity.

Life’s Challenges: Surfing Life’s Big Waves

I recently received an invoice from my lawyer – for what exactly I’m not, as what he’d done for me didn’t really match the bill! He said he was ’dispatching’ invoices to various clients to “keep the wolf from the door in these challenging times”.

These are, indeed, challenging times. We face unprecedented economic circumstances at present, we’re constantly faced with the ups and downs of everyday normal relationships and we are frequently confronted by the trials and tribulations of business and work. However the only real challenge we face is the challenge within. “How will I react when faced with so much crap coming at me?” as one client put it to me on a recent visit. “It’s damned difficult to stay focused when you’re in the eye of the storm” said another. “How am I supposed to stay focused when my personal life is crumbling around me?” another client once asked.

All these challenges are nothing more than life’s “big waves”. Life is like the Volvo Round-the-World yacht race. If you’re participating, you know that there are going to be lots of big waves so you prepare in advance and make sure that you’re adequately equipped to handle them. As a result, you’re able to ride those big waves. It’s the same with life’s ups and downs. You are certain, because you’ve seen it everywhere, that life is full of these big waves. So, just like the yachtsman, you need to be prepared and ensure that you’re appropriately equipped to ride those waves. Now, I’m not talking about being prepared in some vague sense – I’m not just suggesting that you be on your guard. I’m talking about practical personal development – about developing the kind of clarity of mind and mental focus that will enable you take real action in the face of what life throws at you – rather than crawling back into the normal cocoon of knee-jerk reactive behaviour that normally makes matters even worse than we think they already are.

And, considering that life is lived moment to moment, you’re going to have to be up to each challenge, moment to moment. In other words, before you set sail every morning, you need to focus your mind in the here and now – not focused on the day ahead, the day ahead will present itself one moment at a time. This means that whilst you’re drinking your breakfast coffee, that’s the only thing you’re doing – inhaling the aroma, tasting the sharpness, feeling the heat of the cup in your hand, watching the steam curl off the liquid’s surface, feeling the warm liquid run down your throat, listening to the sound as you swallow.

You need to turn yourself on each morning. Otherwise, you will have decided to participate in life’s yacht race in a rubber dinghy. If you get drowned, you’ll only have yourself to blame.

Cleansing Psychic Energy

Whenever you are moving through this world, you pick up the psychic energy of people and things around you. This energy gets combined with your own energy can cause you all sorts of problems in your daily life. Visit this website to study psychic grounding and its effects in more depth.

For example, an excessive amount of energy, either positive or negative, stored up in your system can block any free flow of new energy through you. This may seem insignificant, but if you think about it, it can be quite serious. The energy flowing through your psyche includes ideas, thoughts, sensations, emotions, creativity, inspiration, and so forth.

The energy flowing through your body allows free flowing of your blood, your oxygen, your hormones, the release of toxins from your body, etc.

So, you can clearly see why a thorough psychic energy cleansing can mean the difference between feeling blocked and depressed, and maybe even constipated, and feeling refreshed, inspired, and full of ideas.

Cleansing requires first that we let go of all of the built up energy inside us. Picture a ball of dark energy just in all tied up within you. It might start at your head and fill you up even to the center of your chest.

Now take your hands,either physically or imaginary – does not matter. You are manipulating your energy either way. Lift them up over your head and push down on that black mass. Keep pushing it all the way down past the bottom of your feet, out into the earth. Don’t leave one speck of energy within you. You don’t need it. It is all used up and you need to make room for a fresh batch.

Once you have let go of all that energy, imagine you are opening up a sort of door on the top of your head – at your crown chakra. Now pull your own energy, your fresh bright white energy, from every corner of the universe. You are pulling your energy to you from wherever it might have spread. Now visualize that white light pouring into your body through the top of your head.

It is filling up your feet, up past your ankles and your knees. You see it filling your thighs, the tips of your fingers. Keep pouring the energy into your body up past your stomach and your chest, past your elbows, past your neck through your throat, filling your face and your cheeks. Keep pouring that white light up to the very top of your head.

Now it is overflowing – just keep pouring. It is spilling down across your shoulders like a fountain of light. It covers you and flows around you in every direction. There is more beautiful, sparkling white energy flowing around you than you need. It touches everyone and everything nearby.

Now, you can pull in that energy field and wrap it around yourself like a blanket, or you can let it flow and spread light and energy to everyone you see. The choice is yours. To study more about psychic energy, you can visit Freely-Psychic.

A very important reason to learn to do a thorough psychic cleansing is because you not only pick up the energy from other people you come into contact with, but you also inadvertently share your energy with them. So, if you are carrying around a bunch of negative energy, you can be spreading it to your friends and family, and even to strangers, unawares. As you can see, this can have a negative impact on your entire environment.

This can be especially bad in a working environment where the multiplication of negative energy throughout an entire building can cause layer upon layer of difficulties; trouble with co-workers, trouble with clients, even trouble with electronic equipment like computers, printers, and copiers!

Keeping the energy in your environment clean and renewed should become such a habit that you can cleanse your psychic energy, and the psychic energy around you, automatically, without much effort. It should be practiced daily at home and out in the workplace.

For those who are searching the Internet for info about the sphere of emotional freedom technique training, then check out the website which is mentioned right in this line.

Are You Currently Making The Appropriate Choices In Your Life?

You are what you are and where you are as a result of countless choices that you have made throughout your lifetime. Reading Self Improvement Tips can help you to achieve your potential in life.

Each choice has an impact, however minor, upon your journey in your life. You can choose to be happy, or you can choose to be pessimistic. You can choose to be rude, or you can choose to be courteous. You can choose to appreciate your neighbor, or you can decide to hate your neighbor. You can choose to be sober, or you can choose to be drunk. You can choose to be a resource to society, or you can decide to be a detriment to society. You can choose to eat sensibly, or you can decide to indulge in harmful ways of eating.

You can choose to be prosperous, or you can choose to be broke. You can even choose to be mentally healthy, or you can decide to literally destroy your sanity. When you realize that every choice has an outcome, you placed yourself in a position to achieve success in every area of your life. Every choice that you make and Success Tips you take will take you either in the direction of what you need in life or away from your heart’s desire.

Taking Inventory: You’re where you are at this time because of the decisions you have already made, so taking at look at the past helps you understand the true impact that choices have on your life. You should take stock of everything you have and everything you’ve done that has any importance. These things happened because of a combination of choices that were designed for you as a kid and by you as you matured.
Thinking about a question: Exactly what do you really want out of life? Reflecting on that question can save you an enormous amount of time and misery. An extremely large number of college graduates end up in a field unrelated to what they majored in, that leads me to think that the majority of people wander through their years as a child, teenage years, and young adulthood with no clear concept of what they want to do with their lives. Many individuals pursue goals that are set or affected by somebody else, but seeking those goals, if they aren’t also your goals, doesn’t produce optimum satisfaction or considerable accomplishments.

The beginning point for the significant undertaking of working out what you want from life is a note pad, a quiet spot, and time to consider the question at length. Think along the lines of “If I were very sure that I couldn’t fail, and if I had all the resources required to get there, what would I really want to be, have, or do?” Let your imagination go wild, and permit no judgment to follow the impulses that you put on that sheet of paper. Don’t use money as your yardstick, but don’t eliminate it as a desirable goal. Cash is often the result of overall performance and service, but earning money your prime goal influences other choices to a large degree.
