Inspired In Action

“Stress is not happening because your job is difficult. It is happening because you are incapable of handling your own systems. You don’t know how to manage your body or your mind or your emotions or your energies. If you know that, then nothing is stressful because you are no longer hijacked by external situations” ~ Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev

STRESS! It’s gripped the world. It’s gripped many of us! It’s become so natural that we don’t know what life is like without stress.

If they don’t have a crisis, they’ll make one.

The truth is, and though we don’t like to admit it, we’re pretty much all like that. We’ve gotten so use to feeling the stress in our bodies that when it’s not there we feel odd or “not quite right”. We will unconsciously go on the hunt for something to stress about so or bodies can go back to feeling “normal”.

Stress Management courses are offered by our employers. They are written about in magazines. Stress Management is discussed on TV and all over the internet.

The truth is you don’t have to be stressed. It is not your natural state.

Peace is YOUR natural state.

You’ve been out of this place of peace for so long now that you’ve forgotten.

What if you could get back to Peace, even when things don’t seem to be working the way you think they should be working?

What if you could feel good ALWAYS despite appearances?

It’s time to put the REAL Manager in charge of your life. It’s time to put YOU in charge of your life.

Your body isn’t the manager. Your mind isn’t the manager. Your emotions and Energy are not the managers either.

These are each equally important parts of you, however they are all intended to be managed by Your Spirit. They are the team Your Spirit leads through this experience we call Life!

How would your life change if Your Spirit managed your life experience?

Would Your Spirit choose to sit on the couch in front of the TV half-sleeping through life? Who do you think is managing that choice?

Would Your Spirit choose the same job, the same friends, the same recreational activities, the same distractions?

What activities would Your Spirit give your body? What direction would Your Spirit guide your mind? How would Your Spirit use your Energy? What different emotions would you experience if your Spirit guided your Body, Mind and Energy?

These are all important questions to ask yourself, especially if you feel your life is being managed by anyone or anything other than You.

Your Spirit will ALWAYS choose that which serves you. Your Spirit will ALWAYS love you and keep you safe.

Give Your Spirit the Keys to Your City. Leave stress at the gate, and begin living in your natural state of Peace once again.

“If you have not consciously made the decision to be rich, excellent, and healthy, then you have unconsciously made the decision to be poor, mediocre, and unhealthy.” ~ Wallace D. Wattles

Whoa!  How does that quote grab you?

Wallace definitely has something there though.  If you have thought “I want” you have already affirmed “I don’t have”.

EEEP!

What’s the point to it all then?  What’s the point to having intentions?  What’s the point to wanting something more?

Why bother? 

It’s a valid question.  Here’s my take on this.

The point of it all is to enjoy your life now.  Yes, you want to set intentions.  Yes, it’s okay to want more, and to say so.  You really do not want to hide your desires away.  That just amplifies the “don’t have” anyway.

The big thing here is to ENJOY YOUR LIFE NOW!

Don’t wait for something specific to happen for you to be happy.  Don’t wait until you know it all to try something new. 

DON’T WAIT!

Get out there and start living NOW.  Be happy NOW!

How?

That’s easy!  (Yeah, it really is easy.  It’s not as complicated as we like to make it.)

GET CREATIVE!

There are always answers, and there are always solutions.  When you approach your problems or “don’t wants” from the place of Creativity, the possibilities grow
exponentially. 

Think about it.

You have a problem.  You can list very quickly all the reasons why it’s a problem.  You can see all the reasons why the obvious solutions won’t work.  You’ve immediately distracted yourself with “can’t be done”.  Your eyes and heart focus only on the
problem.

If you approach this same problem with creativity, your focus immediately shifts to “can be done”.  Your eyes and heart immediately open up and actively seek and find solutions.

GET CREATIVE!

Are you ready for more income, happiness, fulfillment, and fun?  Set the intention for more.  It’s OK if you affirm where you are right now.  There’s nothing wrong with that if you’re creative! 

The minute you get creative, your focus shifts!  Your attention is immediately taken off “what’s wrong or missing” and is put on “creative solutions”.  Your “problem” is no longer bad.  It’s an opportunity to tap into your creative soul!

If your “problem” is no longer bad, does your vibration (energy) shift?  Absolutely!

What vibration (energy) is Creativity?  HIGH!

What are your chances of attracting more and better when you’re vibration (energy) is high?  HIGH!

Do you see where this is going?

Affirm more and better.  Acknowledge your now.  Get creative.  Feel better.  Attract more and better.

Simple!

Simple is not always easy though.  You have to consciously choose creativity over problems.

Are you up for it?  Are you ready to GET CREATIVE NOW?

What can you do to get those creative juices flowing?

Can an Apple a Day Keep Failure Away

What an Apple teaches You about Success

How do you eat your apple? I’m going to guess one bite at a time…unless you’re my son who has to stuff his face silly and then sit there for ten minutes chewing one massive bite.

Success happens one bite at a time!

• Have you ever picked up a book, skimmed the index for chapters that pop out, and just read those?
• Are you the kind of person who rarely reads a book from cover to cover?
• Do you have a library full of half-read books?

In all my years of coaching, speaking and learning, one of the biggest mistakes I’ve seen people do (and I’ve done this too) is to consume a huge amount of information in a short amount of time, and then do their absolute best to put every bit of it into action immediately.

99.9% of the time this DOES NOT WORK.

You end up saying and feeling things like:

• I’m useless!
• I can’t do it!
• What’s wrong with me?
• It doesn’t work.
• This is impossible.
• Why do I bother trying?
• I give up!

It’s time to change the way you do things.

EAT SUCCESS
ONE JUICY BITE AT A TIME

“The only competition you will ever have is the competition between your disciplined and undisciplined mind.” ~ James A. Ray

Have you ever noticed that successful people stay focused and unsuccessful people stay distracted?

Have you ever noticed how unsuccessful people blame their distractions rather than accepting responsibility for deciding to be distracted?

What if you could use your distractions as a tool, instead of the distractions holding you back?

You can do that if you use The Laws of Distraction.

Before we discuss The Laws, let’s first get clear on what Distractions are.

There are two kinds of distractions: ones that do not serve you, and ones that serve you.

Yes, you heard right. There are distractions that serve you.

The key is to notice the difference between the two, and to know when to use the distractions that serve. That is where The Laws of Distraction come in.

(Hint: Even those distractions that do not serve can be used to serve you. Keep reading to find out how.)

Law of Distraction #1 – Observe Your DistractionsSpend one to five days observing your daily actions. Make note of the distractions you notice during that time. Notice what activities you are avoiding and the distractions you are using. Are some of your actions actually distractions?

Keep a written record of these observations, whether in your Journal, or on your computer. You will need this information as you utilize the next Laws of Distraction.

Law of Distraction #2 – Know Your DistractionsThe first thing to know about Distractions is that they are not bad. They are valuable when utilized properly.

As mentioned earlier, there are two kinds of Distractions: Communicating Distractions and Energy Shifting Distractions.

As you review the information gathered from observing your distractions and actions, you will be able to determine which distractions are communicating and which distractions are energy shifting.

Communicating Distractions

The Distractions that activate during specific activities are your Communicating Distractions. Upon first analysis, these Distractions do not serve you. They are distracting you from completing your tasks.

The truth is, these Distractions are letting you know that a shift or tweak is required to move through the activity.

Energy Shifting Distractions

If a particular activity is lengthy, taking hours or days to complete, Energy Shifting Distractions serve as the breaks allowing your energy to be recharged. They are valuable in supporting you to maintain focus through to completion of your tasks.

Law of Distraction #3 – Use Your DistractionsYou have now determined the purpose for each of your distractions. This information will serve you to get things done and begin moving forward again.

Communicating Distractions

Ask yourself the following questions regarding the activities you are distracting yourself from.

1. How does this task serve?

You have found that you are using certain distractions to avoid a specific activity. What is the purpose of this activity? Is it an income generating activity? Will it serve your highest good to complete it?

The reason for this particular question is to determine if you want to complete the activity or drop it from your action list.

If there is a clear purpose, move on to question two. If there is no clear purpose, your activity is actually a distraction.

Remove the activity from your action list. Then, take time to notice which actions this activity was distracting you from completing. Use this question to dig down until you reach the root activity that requires completion. Then move onto question two.

2. What would it take to get this done?

You have now determined that it does serve to complete this action. What would it take to get it done? Is this something you have the ability to do? Is it something you enjoy doing? Is it something you can delegate?

If the task is something you can delegate, do so immediately, and your distraction will quickly fade.

If you are not able to delegate the task, move on to question three.

3. Are there other ways to achieve the same end result?

Ultimately the reason we do things is for the end result we expect or desire. The distraction comes in when we have chosen a “how” for achieving the end result that does not fit.

Research other ways to achieve the same end result. Choose the activity that fits within your strengths and talents. By choosing activities through this filter (strengths and talents) the distraction no longer has value and will quickly fade.

Energy Shifting Distractions

As you move through your actions of the day, you may find your energy lagging from time to time. Perhaps you are trying to figure out your next step and the answers are not coming easily. You may find there is a necessary break of time between action steps. It is during these times where you bring in the Energy Shifting Distractions (“ESD”).

Examples of ESD’s are mind puzzles such as Sudoku, crosswords or word-finds. Other ESD’s may be reading, including joke books, or “bite” books such as “Chicken Soup” or “Juicy Bites of Welcome Changes”.

The important thing to remember with ESD’s is to choose specifically how long you use them. Typically ESD’s should last for 5 to 15 minutes, and no longer than 30 minutes. If your ESD lasts longer than this, return to the Communicating Distractions section of Law #3.

As you use the Laws of Distraction (Observe – Know – Use) you bring in clarity and choice to your experience. You transform the Distractions from an anchor that holds you back into a tool that guides and maneuvers you forward.

Observe, Know and Use your Distractions through The Laws of Distraction, and you will create and sustain focused action towards your goals.

Are you ready to use your Distractions to succeed

Stop Floundering in the Kiddy Pool and Stand Up
or Leave the Distractions and Get in Action

“Doubt, of whatever kind, can be ended by action alone.”
~ Thomas Carlyle

What are your distractions? What keeps you from getting into Quality Action?

Distractions can be distilled down into two areas:

In-Action

This is often described as “paralysis by analysis”. People spend hours and hours learning, listening and reading. They are looking for that one key or secret that will give them the answers they are looking for. Once they find the key, their success is guaranteed. Years later, many of them are still reading, listening and learning … and they’re still looking for that key to their success.

Action

I have described this distraction as “Do-Do”. It has also been described as “banging your head against a wall”. It’s taking action on anything and everything. They move from one action to the next, in hopes that this one will be the key to their success. This can show up in ways like moving from one network marketing business to another or buying a turn-key business. They saw someone else “do” this, and they succeeded, so it should work for them. Other times, it’s doing things that have absolutely no connection to their goals and intentions. This includes things like redoing the filing system to be more organized, or sorting the books in the library to be either alphabetic, by category or smallest to largest. “I’ll feel better, and be able to take more action when this is done.”

In order to achieve your success and live your life to its absolute fullest, unplug from the Distractions, and plug into Quality Actions.

Here are four steps you can take to make the appropriate shifts.

1. Observe: Take some time to observe exactly where you are at. Note which Quality Actions and In-Actions you are already taking. Observe which Distraction Actions and In-Actions you plug into the most. Write your observations down in a Journal. Do not just do it in your mind. You must truly look at these observations, and when you write them down, you cannot distract yourself from looking there.

2. Decide: Pick 1-3 of your Quality Actions and In-Actions to plug into more often. Pick 1-3 Distraction Actions or In-Actions to unplug from more often. If you only pick one, pick the biggest one. This will make the most difference. Consider this. Do you really want to achieve and succeed, or are you comfortable being where you are? Which Quality Actions move you further? Which Distraction Actions pull you back?

3. Implement: Take what you’ve observed and chosen, and put your Decisions into action, one day at a time.

4. Repeat Steps 1-3: Celebrate what you have achieved, whether it’s taking more Quality Actions, or unplugging from Distraction Actions. This is an ongoing practice. You may find new Distractions as well as new Quality Actions. It’s all good. Keep going.

This process, although clear and simple, is not an easy process. You’ll end up looking in places you’ve been distracting yourself from. You’ll be taking responsibility for your life, including all your thoughts and actions.

For many it will be easier to keep floundering in the kiddy pool. Their eyes are closed from all their splashing (Distraction Actions). They keep looking for someone or something to help them swim (the Secret Key).

The truth is the pool isn’t deep. If you stop (the Distraction Actions) long enough, you’ll notice all you have to do is stand up. Then you can effortlessly step out of the pool into the soft grass and begin walking through your life again.

Are you ready for the REAL adventure of life? Or are you staying in the Kiddy Pool?
