Step Into Circulation

Too often we are willing to settle. We make excuses as to why we don't need more, why we don't need better, why we don't need to live in our zone of brilliance, or why we don't need to sparkle. Our excuses sound reasonable and we continue to live in our comfort zone.

When our minds can't see a way through a problem, it is tempted not to act even on what we can see because we can't do all we desire to do. So we delay in doing anything at all. We never even take the first step. And if we don't take the first step, nothing will change for us. We need to circulate and find some way to keep yourself in circulation.

Here are some guidelines to give you a power boost and help you jumpstart the Law of Circulation in your life:

 

Giving:

• Attach no strings to your gifts. If strings are there, it isn't a gift at all. Give something freely.
• Give joyfully. Even if you are paying a bill, do so with joy. Giving with a grudge doesn't bless the giver or the receivier.

Receiving:

• Be open to receiving. You must not rob the giver in their joy in giving.
• Prepare yourself to receive by being receptive and appreciative.
• Be grateful for the little things to prepare for the big things.
• Be open to new people who bring you new ideas. Stay away from the phrase, "I already know that."

What if this simple idea, when put into action, is the key to busting loose from struggling and settling and beginning your life of possibilities? Isn't it worth a try?

Cultivating Your Internal Coach

You've heard over and over again - you need to make a change if you want to experience a change of any kind. We all have a lot of practice listening to the negative internal mind chatter. This chatter is never about brilliance or glory; it is about playing it safe and staying in your comfort zone.

Your Monkey Mind might say that you are average. It convinces you not to take a risk. It causes you to doubt your dreams and your abilities. And you listen. And you believe. And you begin to feel average. And you feel like you are nothing special.

You need to cultivate a voice that counters that negative internal mind chatter. You need to listen to the coach inside that reminds you to look up. And here is what the coach inside will tell you.

• Stamp a mental picture on your mind of you succeeding.
• Whenever a negative thought comes into your mind concerning your own personal power, deliberately voice a positive thought to cancel it out.
• Do not be awestruck by other people - comparing yourself with another minimizes the awesomeness of who you are.
• Make an estimate of your own abilities, then raise it by 25% - you are your own worst critic and forget the power of God is within.
• Get a good friend, a coach, or a mentor who will hold you as powerful and courageous and help you keep your vision ABOVE the bar.

AMAZING ACTION PLAN: For the next 24 hours, speak only in positive terms about everything in your life. Speak positively about your job, your health, your relationships, your marriage, and your future. Go out of your way to speak optimistically about everything. The negative and pessimistic way doesn't work-it NEVER did.

After 24 hours, see if you can do this for an entire week. See if you can make a new habit and change to a positive interior. Let me know how it goes.
