THE HYPE

 

This weeks Motivating Mindset will help you get out of your own way in order to open up the floodgates and let your wildest dreams rush in.

 

THE CHALLENGE

 

Your Mindset challenge this week is getting in the habit of asking yourself:

"How can I be more allowing?"

 

THE PROMISE

 

Ask yourself this question whenever you meet resistance in your life and it will help reduce your discomfort and attract more success.

 

 

THE TIPS

Most people are familiar with the Law of Attraction made famous by "The Secret", but did you know there is also a Law of "Allowing"?

Don't worry, you are not alone, if you haven't heard of this important universal law.

Yet, those who have heard of it, and applied it into their lives, are happier, more fulfilled and seem to instantly attract whatever they desire into their lives.

Would you like to know how to tap in to the law of allowing in order to bring better results more quickly and easily into your life?

If happiness, joy and abundance is what you really want, then you need to take a moment and consider the question "how allowing am I right now?"

Do you allow others to be who they are? Do you fight against their beliefs? Do you think that if one person gets their way, that you can't get yours? 

How often are you in opposition to the situation? In what ways to you "resist" the people, places and things in your day?

Look at any areas of resistance in your life as prime indicators of areas that are in need of more allowing.

Whenever there is resistance in your life, there will also be accompanying negative emotions.

Resistance is like putting on the emergency or parking brake while trying to drive. Sure you can still drive with it on, but the performance of the vehicle is greatly diminished.

The problem is that many of us fear what we truly want, which is why we put on the brakes to begin with.

We ask, pray, and intend for our desires to be manifested and right before they are, we say "whoa wait-a-minute", "hold-on", "stop".

We think, who am I too have this? Why do I deserve this? Am I even worthy enough? 

Meanwhile, the universe is trying to give you whatever you want, but you are stating to it through your actions that you are unsure if you want it.

Then, when you finally decide that you want something, you decide that you want it yesterday!

However, no matter how skilled or resourceful you are there is always a time lag between the original conception and the manifestation or achievement of the goal. 

Then when it doesn't show up today, you begin to doubt and question whether or not you can even attract it.

A vibrational state like this places counter-thought, and counter-intention, into whatever your trying to attract and acts like a parking brake to your pleasure.

No matter how much you work, and work, you will still not succeed, because the effectiveness of your action is dependent upon your state of being.

This is important to understand, because the more time you put into being against anything, the less time you have to spend bringing positive things into your life!

The creative process takes time! Allowing what is wanted, essentially keeps your attention on the wanted thing, and off of the fact that you don't have it yet. 

Imagine if you could find a way to take your foot off the brake and live life full throttle?

Understanding the law of allowing is easier than you think, but it is the practice of what you know where the challenge lies.

The most important thing to remember is that whatever you focus on will expand into more of it.

If you spend your time, energy and attention focusing on the "resistance" the "disagreement" with whatever is, you are creating a vibrational state to bring you more of the same.

Therefore it is of the utmost importance during the process of manifestation that no matter what happens you remain committed to focusing your energies on that which you intend.

This keeps your vibrational signal oriented in the right direction, and allows you to rendezvous with the people and resources that match up with you.

By not resisting the wanted thing you allow the law of 'like attracts like' to work in your favour.

The law of attraction is able to work more effectively when you don't resist the wanted thing and allow the process to take place, whatever it is.

Do you truly want whatever you want... or are you more concerned about the process in which in manifests?

If you don't care how it comes, only that it eventually comes, then allow your thoughts and feelings about the process to relax. 

By relaxing into your creative process you strengthen your intention and become a more powerful attracting magnet for the things you want, and a more effective co-creator.

For example if you want to be more wealthy and you thought it was going to happen via the lottery, and you ended up getting a promotion would you be upset?

Think about this story and how it parallels in your life. What in your life do you say that you want more of, but are too 'attached' to the details of how it happens?

If you truly desire whatever that is then you will want to spend your time and effort on allowing more.

Even after you bravely recognize the need to become more allowing, you still may get lost in the contemplation of exactly how to do that.

One of the easiest ways to learn is to simply ask yourself the question: "How can I be more allowing?" 

THE SECRET

The art of allowing means you believe it is possible to have challenges, yet at the very same time be absolutely in love with life and excited about the world.

In what areas of your life can you become more allowing?

Can you become more allowing in the relationships you have with your friends, family, co-workers, or even your ex's?

More importantly, it what ways can you be more allowing with the most important relationship of all, the one with your SELF?

Are you your own best friend? How often do you practice allowing yourself to fail, learn and grow without judgment?

Based on the way you have treated yourself for the past week, would you be your own best friend?

If you and your best friend were working together on a project together, would you want them there to support you, or hinder your progress?

The choice is an easy one, of course you would want them in your corner to support you.

The question is then, "Are you offering the best support to yourself as your own best friend?"

Every day that you wake up you are responsible for being a partner in the biggest and most important project of all, your life.

Are you offering the best support to yourself when you criticize or complain about something?

Are you offering the best support to yourself when you doubt the creative process?

Are you offering the best support to yourself when you constantly notice what is missing in your life?

Are you offering the best support to yourself when you question why you don't have it yet?

Are you offering the best support to yourself when you spend time blaming or judging people, including yourself?

Are you offering the best support to yourself when you carry around all your failures and mistakes from the past?

Are you offering the best support to yourself when you feel low energy and negative about something?

Are you offering the best support to yourself when you offer resistance to whatever shows up in the moment?

These are only 8 of the many ways that you can check-in with your self. 

Use them to determine how aligned your thoughts and actions are with your intention.

Is it possible that you need to learn how to be more allowing, accepting and/or forgiving?

Are your thoughts, feelings, and actions in vibrational harmony with what you seek to attract?

If you seek to support your self then it is vital to maintain a pure creative vibration aligned precisely to your desire.  

The law of allowing works hand-in-hand with the law of attraction, meaning whatever you place your attention on you get more of. 

As mentioned earlier, if you focus on something positive, something that you are passionate about, related opportunities come to you. 

When your thoughts, your focus and your intent are exclusively on what is wanted, you feel relaxed, joyful and lighthearted about the goal.

Paradoxically, the more joyful you are, the less hard you have to work, and the more powerful and effective are your actions.

In short, allowing is the aligning of your vibration with that of your desire. 

A great question to ask yourself to be more in the moment and go more with the flow is:

"How can I be more allowing?"

Monday Motivating Mindset

THE HYPE

This weeks Motivating Mindset will help you use your imagination the way it was intended to be used.


THE CHALLENGE

Your Mindset challenge this week is getting in the habit of asking yourself:
"Is this the best use of my imagination?"


THE PROMISE

Ask yourself this question as soon as possible and you will become better able to harness the true power of your imagination.


THE TIPS

Did you know that your Imagination is the most powerful thing you possess?

Here are just a few of the reasons why it's so important...

For one thing your imagination controls your perception.

It's called your 'minds-eye', and if you don't see something in it first, you will not be able to see it in "real life".

This is why for humans seeing is believing, and we only see what we believe.

Your imagination is literally creating the world you live in based on a set of programming instructions that you call reality.

Another reason your imagination is key is because it influences your emotions.

Your imagination stores the pictures, symbols and images of the memories that trigger all of your emotions.

Without these being perceived in your minds-eye, nothing would cause a emotional reaction or generate feelings.

In case you haven't heard the news or stopped to think about it yourself, we are all motivated by emotions.

This is powerful because 99.99% of the time we do what we feel right?

Ask yourself now.. "what determines your emotions?"

Because if you are serious about changing your actions then you must first learn how to change the emotions that are driving your behavior.

If you look at whatever makes you sad, miserable or upset, you will uncover that your imagination (perspective) is what pulls you down.

Contrarily, whenever you have accomplished something that makes you happy, you will discover that your imagination also lead you there.

Therefore in order to take control of your emotions you need to take control of your imagination.

What we do over time is what creates our results, and why we do what we do is based on our reality.

Both your results and reality are governed by your imagination, which means you have the power to change either of them at any time!

When you come to understand the power of that statement, you will also fully realize the eloquence of Albert Einstein when he said:

"Imagination is everything, it is more important than knowledge".

Have you ever stopped to consider that right now you are either using your imagination for better or worse?

Now that you know the importance of your imagination the best question to ask yourself is: "Is this the best use of my imagination?"


THE SECRET

Are you are stressed, overwhelmed, frustrated, hopeless, complacent, or bored with life?

Could the only reason you are not getting everything you deserve possibly be you?

“Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination.” -- Oscar Wilde

You first dream and envision your happiest future with your imagination.

You then use your imagination to motivate you through the tough times until you succeed.

You set your target on your next goal and seek out the next opportunity with your imagination.

This is the never-ending cycle of creation. This is the expression of your true self, the journey of your soul.

If somehow, somewhere you mixed up along the path then a powerful question to ask yourself is: "Is this the best use of my imagination?"

What is one good way to use your imagination you might ask?

How about beginning by using it to imagine all the things that you want in life.

Not the superficial things that don't bring you any joy, only the type of things that tug on your heart strings.

Start imagining these things in your minds-eye more often, picturing what it would be like to have them right now.

If you are serious and actually want to start manifesting this reality then you better start feeling it with your heart while you do it as well.

Keep picturing your greatest joy, being thankful and patient about the process.

The very worst that will happen is that you spend a lot of time feeling the joy and appreciation.

Nothing sends that something faster into your hands than the feeling of gratitude.

The favorite thing for God or the Universe to do is to fulfill our fantasies and wishes.

We get what we believe we deserve, which is why it should go without saying, it is important to be careful what you ask for.

Ingrid Bergman knew this in 13 simple words, "Success is getting what you want and Happiness is wanting what you get."

Monday Motivating Mindset

THE HYPE

This weeks Motivating Mindset will make you feel love and gratitude.

THE CHALLENGE

Your Mindset challenge this week is getting in the habit of asking yourself:

"What do I have to be grateful for?"


THE PROMISE

Ask yourself this question as many times as possible this week and you will be more grateful about your life's situation.


THE TIPS

The first step in counting your blessings is to write down all the things you have to be grateful for.

Before your start this exercise you may think that you don't have a lot in particular to be grateful for, if so you will definitely be surprised.

Start by finding a quiet room away from any distractions.

If you live in a busy place and cannot get complete silence then either wait to do this until you can, or just do the best you can.

You will also need a pen/pencil and note pad of paper, or a journal would be even better if you have one.

Next ask yourself out loud "What do I have to be grateful for?"

Think carefully, take your time and don't let yourself off the hook when it comes to answers.

One way of doing it is to brainstorm as many ideas that come up for you in a five or ten minute period.

Then you would take the ideas you generated and filter them into the type of gratitude expressed.

For example: People | Things | Other

People: Write down all the people that have made a difference in your life.

Things: Name at least 5-10 things that you enjoy doing on a daily basis.

Other: This could be an area where you keep track of miscellaneous things like "feeling grateful for being able to be a great dad"

Take five or ten minutes every day to jot down any new items on this list.

Be selective and choosy of what you put on your list, if you don't feel gratitude don't feel pressured to put up a convincing answer.

It is important to feel the feelings of what you enjoy, as if you were truly enjoying them in the present moment.

The above step is critically under-rated to the success of your ability to manifest using the Law of Attraction.

If you don't feel gratitude when you first do it, there is an extremely slim chance of manifesting more gratitude.

The reason for this is because like attracts like, thoughts become things, and what you focus on expands.

Therefore, if you feel grateful, think about being more grateful, you will inevitably attract more reasons to be grateful.

This is such a straight-up and simple-to-implement strategy for changing lives you probably are wondering why so many people don't it?

Because we seem to want to make things difficult for ourselves by default.

To make things go smoother in your world, start by concentrating on the things you feel grateful for.

Ask yourself the question "What do I have to be grateful for?" to brainstorm ideas.

Keep this list near by you and continue to add to it as you remember more things to be grateful for.

If you are feeling down and out and experiencing a bout of low energy, a great resource you to help "pick you up" is this list or journal.


THE SECRET

The secret to feeling truly grateful for a person, situation or thing is in the way that you express appreciation.

A great question to follow up with the first question is: "How do I express appreciation?"

In order to express appreciation you must first know what exactly you are thankful for, which means taking inventory of your blessings.

The good news is if you have done the work in the first exercise, you will have already written down a lot of blessings.

Now that you have a list of things that you feel grateful for, the next step is to ensure that whatever that is on that list feels appreciated.

Nothing feels better than feeling valued and appreciated, so consider it as the outcome when giving others feedback.

If you are really grateful for a loved-one or friend then consider when the last time you did something special for them to let them know.

We often don't show appreciation or express our true feelings until it's too late, make it a point to not let this happen this week!

You can also show you appreciation for material items, even though a lot of people might think different.

Contrary to popular beliefs it is ok to appreciate material wealth and material goods, in fact the more you appreciate them, the more you get back!

There is nothing wrong with appreciating material items, as long as you make sure that you show gratitude for them by taking care of them properly.

For example, you can not say that you appreciate being able to drive if you never change the oil or perform maintenance on your vehicle.

The currency for showing your true appreciation is your undivided attention.

Attention is energy and when focused is the most valuable and priceless gift that we can offer.

How would any one of your relationships feel if they could have an extra dose of a fully conscious and present you?

Try donating your complete and undivided attention to a loved one as a no-strings attached gift.

See if you can focus your attention for just twenty minutes. How about an hour? Can you make it a full day?

If you aren't sure what to focus on, you could start by showing appreciation of the common things we take for granted:

-Health

-Wealth

-Freedom

-Opportunity

-Relationships

When it comes to spending your attention there are two trains of thought:

A. You can spend your attention on the tried and true avenues of appreciation, the sure winners, perhaps if they like chocolates or flowers.

B. Another effective method to spend attention and show appreciation is simply by asking the recipient: "I'm here to help, please tell me how"

Notice in the last example it isn't "asking" whether or not you can help, that is too often rejected, but rather you are going to help!

Last but not least is it important to show appreciation to the person that we all have in common.

That is, of course, always no matter what above and beyond all instances, remember to respect and appreciate yourself.

When you put yourself into a state of gratitude your frequency changes, which changes your thoughts.

Change your thoughts, change your feelings, change your actions, change your life.

Monday Motivating Mindset

THE HYPE

This weeks Motivating Mindset will help you appreciate yourself more, attract healthier relationships and be an overall better person.


THE CHALLENGE

Your mindset challenge this week is getting in the habit of asking yourself: "Would you date yourself?"


THE PROMISE

Ask yourself this question and you will gain a more accurate reflection of yourself and a better understanding of your fears.

Next time that you have a few minutes alone to think ask yourself "Would I date myself?"

You might be wondering the relevance of this question if you already have a significant other but, regardless of relationship status, a careful consideration of this question can provide insight into what you contribute to your relationships.

If you answered "Yes" that you would date yourself, then the next question is why? What kind of reasons came to mind that make yourself a worthy prize?

When taking a personal inventory the answers you learn might even surprise you!

Could you fall in love with yourself? What traits of yours are you most proud? Are you a constant source of support? What about your communication skills? Are you always finding good things to comment about your significant other?

Do you find yourself thinking "I wish my partner..." or "If only my significant other...."? If so, these might be the best signs that you need to look in the mirror first.

"What would you change/improve if you were dating yourself?" "What specifically do you love about yourself?" If you aren't excited about dating yourself then how do you expect anybody else to be?

It is important to note that your partner or significant other must also agree with your self-assessment. If you think you are the worlds best communicator and your partner thinks otherwise, then any adjustments made would be based on a false assessment and thus likely prove counter-productive.

A relationship should for the most part be 50/50 in terms of contribution. What strengths do you contribute? Do they equal your share of the 50%? How do the strengths that you identified help make the relationship strong in your partners opinion?

Use what you've learned from this exercise to build on your strengths and identify any areas where you might have the opportunity to provide more value in your relationships.


THE SECRET

Looking at yourself through an open and honest mirror requires courage and willingness to see yourself objectively in a new way.

It is the mark of a true leader to be able to acknowledge their shortcomings and build upon the strengths that they recognized for.

If for some reason you cannot uncover any areas of improvement for yourself then look at the areas of resistance, friction and conflict in your relationships.

In what situations do you feel most uncomfortable? Pay attention to your discomfort because there is always a hidden gift within.

Your discomfort often shows you the areas in your life that you should review and revise any belief systems that no longer continue to serve you.

"What do you need to improve within yourself so that you become a more effective attractor of your desired results?"

Put yourself in the other persons shoes, see things from their perspective and appreciate the gift of awareness as an opportunity to be the change you want to see in the world.

This weeks Motivating Mindset will help you live with more focus, joy and gratitude.


THE CHALLENGE

The Mindset challenge I am proposing this week is getting in the habit of asking yourself:

"In this moment, what is most important for my success?"


THE PROMISE

Ask yourself this question before every activity or challenge you come across this week and the promise is that you will be clearer about your actions and inspired to do more with your life.


THE TIPS

Before you get out of bed tomorrow, lay there awake and ask yourself "In this moment, what is most important for my success?"

There is no "right" or "wrong" answer to this question, only an answer that will either move you closer toward or further away from your goals and dreams.

If you want to supercharge your successes and activate the Law of Attraction to bring you more positive results then the default answer to this question could be..."feeling gratitude".

Being in a state of gratitude is always the best action in every moment because the feeling of being appreciative for your life will automatically attract more to be thankful for.

What can you be thankful for as you ask yourself this question?

Regardless of whatever it is that you are grateful for make sure that the rest of your daily actions are also guided by that question and aligned with that feeling.

After you have grounded your day in gratitude then ask yourself the same question as you make your way out of bed, ""In this moment, what is most important for my success?"

Keep asking yourself the question as often as you can to guide you closer toward your dreams and to make sure that those dreams come true, be sure to book some personal "you" time.

The first hour of your day is an ideal time to give yourself some quality time alone.

"In this moment, what is most important for my success?"

Some ideas that you can utilize this hour with are: visualize the goals and dreams that are important to you, look at a vision board, affirm positive intentions, read a book, meditate in stillness, or quietly review your long-term goals.

Take this time to set the tone of your day, ensure that you are focused on your goals and to help amplify the Law of Attraction to bring you what you do desire.


THE SECRET

Ideally the earlier in your day you make time for yourself the better, however you are not limited to specifically utilizing the morning.

Experiment making quality time for yourself in the afternoon or during the evening before you go to bed. Find out the best time to activate your peak mental and physical state.

To speed up the time lag between your dreams and your results you should find the time to do this exercise twice a day.

Also, if 60 minutes seems too long or you don't feel that you have time in your day then try starting with personal time of 15 minutes. Gradually increase your time to 30 minutes, 45 minutes and then to an hour.

Thinking that you do not have time to slow down and find out what is most important for you in each moment is admitting that you would rather continue to be blinded by your behaviour then to be motivated by your mindset.

It is only an illusion that you can continue to do what you are doing and get what you want.

To get what you want you must do what you've never done, otherwise if you have already done it you would have already had it.

Most people do not develop the habit of putting their dreams and goals in front of them and then they wonder why nothing ever happens.

Skipping your personal quality time is like skipping breakfast and wondering why you don't have any energy. It seems silly to wonder why if you haven't had any food right?

Similarly it doesn't make sense to think it is strange or mysterious that you don't have the results you desire in life without first finding the time to make the important goals an important part of your every day.

Ask yourself the question "In this moment, what is most important for my success?" to help keep you on track.

Monday Motivating Mindset

THE HYPE

This weeks Motivating Mindset will help put an end to the spring cleaning fever and welcome in fun under the summer sun.

THE CHALLENGE

The Mindset challenge I am proposing this week is getting in the habit of asking yourself:

"Do I love this?" or asked differently, "Does this _____ support me right now in feeling great?"


THE PROMISE

Ask yourself this question every chance you get every day this week and the promise is that you will live more freely with less headaches and hassles, and be ripe and ready for opportunity.


THE TIPS

If you want to create a new habit, a new life or a new belief a great tool to assist that change is to first change your surroundings and environment.

You don't need to throw away everything and start over again, the idea is to use this weeks questions "Do I love this?" and "Does this ______ support me right now in feeling great?" as you check and double check for any "clutter" in your environment that can be removed.

Clutter represents items on the still-to-do list, tolerances and unconscious agreements we have made with our self.

Clutter zaps our emotional energy, our creative juices and takes up needed space.

When you clear the space for new things the universe works like a vacuum to fill it.

Clearing clutter will help make new room for new relationships with work, money and can even help you attract a dream mate if you so desire.

Be sure to check the bathroom, kitchen and your office for clutter as well.

When you look in the environments where you spend your time every day, do they reflect what is most important?

If it doesn't excite you anymore, or you don't adore it like you used to then perhaps it is time to have this move on from your life.

This could mean a new job or relationship, but I am proposing a smaller start to your de-cluttering days.

Check your closet, the number one culprit of clutter and confusion.

Provide people that would love your wardrobe a chance to get some free demos before sending them to the consignment shop, or provide a donation to your thrift store.

Clearing out the proverbial closet will make you feel good.

Making good use of your clutter will make you feel even better.

The new clothes, relationships, money that will come into your life as a result will make you feel the best!


THE SECRET

Have you de-cluttered your bedroom?

The bedroom is one of the most powerful influences on your subconscious and affects your sleep more than you probably realize.

Make sure your bedroom helps bring your mind to a peaceful, relaxing, or joyful state.

Avoid crazy colors that play on your emotions every time you experience them.

Check for symbols of what you are NOT seeking, be sure they are NOT represented anywhere.

Immediately remove any symbols of low worth, dis-organization and toleration you have around.

Surround yourself with symbols of what you most want more of.

Seeking friends? Try hanging pictures of the ones you are already thankful for.

Seeking love, surround yourself with items from your imagination that you adore.

3 Ways To Speed Up The Law of Attraction

Starting your day the right way takes more than just getting out of bed on the right side. If you want to maximize your time and direct your energy towards those areas in your life that count, make sure you consider starting your day with these 3 points in mind.

1. Every day you are blessed with the gift to open your eyes each morning, take a moment then to remind yourself what else you are grateful for. In fact, make it a point not to get out of bed until you can at least find three things to be grateful for. Feel the emotion fill your body as you become appreciative and thankful of whatever you are grateful for.

2. Set the day with positive intentions by ensuring that you only accept the finest thoughts for the first hour of your day. Some people call this time the Golden Hour, as the things that you do in the first hour will set the tone for your entire day.

3. Take at least 30 minutes to sit quietly and to reflect on your goals. Let your mind wander freely around your intentions. This is the time to review and revise any plans as necessary. By focusing on your goals in this manner you will undoubtedly bring the manifestation into reality quicker and easier than you would without it.

To accomplish the above strategies will require both time and willpower. At first you will be tempted to rush through these exercises and get on with your day. If you are already strapped for time and truly committed to seeing change, you may just have to get up a half an hour earlier to spend this special time with yourself.

Take the challenge and incorporate this 3 step formula into your daily waking routine for just one month. Send me an e-mail and let me know what your goal was, and if you were able to manifest it within the challenge period.

Do you think I manifested this?

Tonight I experienced the pleasure of connecting with like-minded people focused on writing. This informal writers club was the brainstorm that came from another gathering of like-minded people, a Toastmasters meeting.

The Toastmasters club I belong to decided to have a meeting in the park since it was early fall and the weather would support it. Besides the special location, the meeting was special for another reason, my club "Igniters" was meeting with the "Miracles" club. It was a chance to hear thoughts, ideas, and speeches from another club, plus we got to meet some new faces and network.

At the end of the meeting, an outgoing woman approached me and informally suggested getting together over coffee in the near future to share our interests in writing. Another Miracles club member overheard our conversation and expressed interest in joining us. Wow, this support seemed to manifest itself out of thin air, so we exchanged contact details to schedule a future meeting.

This evenings meeting was a direct result of the efforts of the first networking in the park. What we especially cool about this particular meeting is that "by chance" one of the ladies invited a fellow coach to the meeting, and this was a coach I have heard a lot from a different source but hadn't had the pleasure to meet yet.

I had an engaging conversation with all three and felt very happy about the connections that I had made, all by being open to what was in store for me. Do you have a similar story? Drop me a line and let it rip. =)

Life's Biggest Secret Revealed, And It's NOT The Law of Attraction!

“The big secret in life is that there is no big secret. Whatever your goal, you can get there if you’re willing to work.”
- Oprah Winfrey

How to "Life Coach" Yourself

How to Life Coach Yourself and Take Back Control of Your Life

There are many different books, audios and movies regarding The Law of Attraction . A great deal of the material covers the laws that govern this principal, but not too many talk about how to govern the mental state that allows for the LOA to work. Yet without the proper mental game to match your intentions, no force in the world, including the Law of Attraction will help you.

So instead of concentrating on areas of manifestation where you powers are not strong, i.e. the 'how-to' details, and controlling other peoples actions, why not gain control in the areas of your life in which you actually have influence. The area to focus on that will bring the most noticeable results the quickest is your attitude. Improving your attitude is the first step in attracting your dream life.

How to Improve Your Attitude in 6 Steps

If you want to take control of your attitude, here's a simple six-step process to do it:

Step 1. Get clear what your attitude is. If your results reflect your attitude, then its probably pretty clear what thoughts, beliefs and vision are creating your current reality.

Step 2. Understand how your attitude is affecting your altitude. This might require some information from a trusted advisor. This could be your mastermind group, coach or by listening to audio programs on other successful people.

Step 3. Write out on an index card with what the desired attitude is that will achieve your desired altitude. Start by gathering clues from other’s who have achieved that kind of success. You might want to emulate their attitude.

Step 4. Practice your new attitude. When situations come up, try on the new attitude and notice you react differently. Make up a “new story” about the situation based on your new way of seeing things.

Step 5. Evaluate your results. What’s different? How is it working? Do you need to further refine your attitude for a great altitude shift? Do you need more support from your trusted advisor to reflect blind
spots?

Step 6. Continue the cycle. This is not something you do once and forget. No way José. This is a process you continue over and over again, each time getting closer and closer to the gold. Take a minute out of your day today to implement this new strategy and tomorrow you will be in a better space tomorrow.
