"Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve."
— Napoleon Hill
People
generally fail at achieving their goals and completing their projects
for one of three reasons: poor systems, not clearly defining their
goal/project or self sabotage (conscious or unconscious). We’re going
to focus on how to get out of your own way in order to overcome
obstacles.
Remember the Law of Attraction?
Your
predominant thoughts determine your level of "vibration" and the level
you vibrate at determines what you attract to yourself.
Since
science has determined that, at the fundamental level, everything is
vibrating, the question becomes: What level are you vibrating at?
Are
your thoughts generally positive or negative? While we all rush to say
"Positive!", it’s actually easy to tell. . .just take a look at your
results. You manifest what you think about (consciously AND
unconsciously) and what your mind focuses on expands.
I know you’re thinking, "But Sandy, I think good thoughts all the time so why am I still struggling?"
Your unconscious mind can’t tell the difference between positive or negative; it just follows the lead from your conscious mind.
When
our thoughts run on auto-pilot, our unconscious mind rehashes the
thoughts we’ve programmed into it over the years and yet we are somehow
surprised at what shows up in our lives. This is considered creating
your life by default.
When we deliberately redirect our
thoughts to what we want to create in our lifes however, we are
controlling our conscious mind and it begins reprogramming our
unconscious.
You can either manifest your reality consciously, by choice, or you can believe that life is random. Which are you going to do?
Let’s look at four ways to get what you consciously choose.
1. Your mindset.
To
change your mindset, you must focus on what you DO WANT, not what you
don’t want. Eliminate phrases such as "I don’t want" or "I have to" or
"I need" as these phrases focus on the negative and the unconscious
mind can’t process a negative, so when you say "I don’t want to have
debt", your unconscious hears "have debt".
Instead, say what you want. "I want 7 new clients this month" or "I want to make $10,600 this month". Focus on the positive.
Additionally, it’s important for you to reflect on what you have in life and be grateful for it — every day.
2. Your skills.
Take
a look at your goals and evaluate if you currently have the skills to
accomplish them. If not, sign up for a course or a teleseminar that
will give you those skills. By upgrading your skillset, you
automatically tell the universe that you are ready to step up.
3. Your actions.
Your
actions should reflect the new mindset you are working on — your
behavior/habits directly support your thoughts. If you want to be a
millionaire business owner, start acting like one. Look around your
office — is there clutter everywhere? If so, get rid of it and start
thinking of your business as a million dollar business (don’t spend
recklessly, but invest in yourself and your team).
4. Your environment.
Have
you created a Vision Board/Dream Board with pictures of your ideal
life? Have you written out your goals and affirmations and put them
where you will see them daily?
General consensus says that you
are the average of the five people you hang around most. Are you
hanging out with people who are supportive of you and your goals and
who make you "stretch" just a bit or with people who are always
dragging you down (I call them "negative nellies")?
It’s your life! Create an environment that supports, rather than thwarts, you.
