Not as I planned - End of week 1

Well ... it is the end of week 1 of my new life and things are definitely moving and changing. Which is great.

Unfortunately not as I had planned.

I was going to be very logical and systematic about it but the universe had other ideas.

I started reading "How to be Wildly Wealth Fast" by Sandy Forester. Instead of reading book from cover to cover and only extracting 1 or 2 items and not doing anything. I decided to read 1 or 2 chapters a night. Meditate on it and plan to do something the next day as revision. Each chapter is only 3 or 4 pages long so it doesn't take long.

First exercise was to design your ideal day. Well my ideal day had not money in it. and I was doing my idea day really but I am still surviving. "Surviving" is a word I use a bit - must work on that.

So I decided to design my ideal profit making day. What would I be doing and make money doing it. No that was interest.

At the same time I have been listening to Derek Gehl and Brett Mcfall and they were talking about doing the profit things first. Do the things that make 80% of your income first. Or work on your business before you work in your business.

So I challenged myself what your happen if I spent 2 hours a day working on products for my business instead of all the other stuff.

Well I open up a word document and starting listing heading and ideas for ebooks and articles I could write. In a way it was getting the information out of my head and onto the paper. Something I had promised myself on Monday.

The list just keeps growing. I was going to write one big ebook with every thing in it but I hate reading big ebook so why write one. Lots of little ebooks with separate topic are more useful to the reader. Articles can spin off from the ebooks or visa versa.

In summary:
I have be doing - Action
I have be getting information out of my head.
I have changed my goals to be more in-line with what I can achieve.
Small bits more often.

How have you been going with your goals?

Today is the first day of....

Last night I decided (again) that I am going to change my life around from ordinary to extra-ordinary.

I have decided this before but this time I am going to tell you all about it. You can take the journey with me and give me feedback (read - kick in the butt). If you have stuff you want to work through - lets do it together.

I need to work on a number of things - well lots of things really. Maybe I need to starting writing the list of all the ideas in my head - it is so much in my head that my head is foggy.

Then I can play paper shuffle. I can physically sit on the floor and sort paper into piles.

It may not be the most efficient way of putting down idea put I will be about to do some prioritising at the same time. (I know this should be a separate task.)

Major areas are my business and part-time job, my children and me.

When I have finished this I will let you know my next step.

Holographic Universe shock

I have finally read the "Holographic universe" by Michael Talbot. My husband wanted to know why I was reading it now - our copy is 17 years old.

My excuse is that I had better things to do and I was not ready to get down and difficult with quantum theory. Boy, was I in for a shock.

Let me explain. I have read about out-of-body experiences, near-death-experience, UFO and other unexplainable stuff since I was 10, nearly 30 year ago (Oops there goes the secret about my age - I turn 40 this year).

So I believe in other things outside this 3D world. Things that can't be explained by science. And I had figured out that eventually science will answer the questions they are been repeatedly asking.

For example was is the smallest particle - an atom. What makes up an atom - Subatomic particles. etc etc. Science will eventually catchup to the imagination of sci-fi.

So what was the shock I experienced by reading this book. This book was easy to read, why was I putting it off?

This book was a reminder of how wonderful and powerful our mind is. Are we ready to create our world as we want it?

Just think of all those negative things you have in your life - big and small: wars, traffic jams, bills, debt, family feuds, unemployment, sickness, waiting lists.

• What if you could change all that?
• Does that scare you or excite you?

"The Secret" and "The Law of attraction" teased us about what is possible but are you ready to change?

Yep - you have to change what you are thinking, change what you are believing and change what you are doing. What a big ask.

Some people are truly happy complaining about traffic and governments. See the negative world in all it glory.

• Are you ready to change to be better?
• Yes?
• Just checking?
• This is how you do it. Ask?
• Ask yourself what need to change?
• Ask yourself how it needs to change?
• Receive the answers AND
• Do It.

Be the scientist: list the questions and find out the answers. Stick at it until you have the answers, until you have the change.

The Holographic Universe explains placebo effects. Or Fake it until you make it. Step out of your zone try something new. It doesn't really matter if logically it doesn't make sense. We are not working with logic we are working with mind and beliefs. Your belief and hope will make it work.

Step up and change your world, change your thinking and change your world.

One wonderful example of this was a lady who attended the Christopher Howard Breakthrough to Success Weekend in Brisbane in September 2007. This lady was petrified of snakes. I mean she could not even say the word "snake". Within one day and using only one of his techniques about beliefs. She organised for a snake handler to bring his collection of snakes and lizards to the event to prove that she had conquered her phobia. She spend an hour playing with snakes. Amazing.

Why do Monsters Lose?

My 6 year old son asked me "Why do monsters always lose?". He was very upset and I could see his point of view.

Think about King Kong and Godzilla. I suppose in the animorphs win.

Do we as humans think, or know, that we are so superior that we should always conquer. Anyone who is different e.g. Spiderman or Batman, have a secret life and hide their real identity from the world to retain their power.

Is this a metaphor for ourselves?

• Do we hide our real self for the world to protect who we are?
• Do we believe that if people know who we really are we would lose our power and be ... powerless... normal?
• Do we fight and suppress the animal or the bad bits so we don't have to face them?
• Would we lose our power if we acknowledged the other side?
• Or are we missing out on our true selves.

Our true selves is a balance of right and left, positive and negative, yin and yang, good and bad. By accepting and acknowledging the yucky bits we have more control and understanding of who we are. The monsters lose the power and we lose the fear attached to it.

So imagine the Movie "Godzilla turns over a new leaf".

• The setting is California.
• The evil monster arrives and scared the people.
• The people accept that the monster is trying to scare them but they have had worse in their lives and this huge monster is good for tourism.
• The people have no fear for the monster. They love and accept the monster - even promote the monster.
• Godzilla has lost his power and reforms.
• Godzilla spends his days rescuing ships and giving children rides.

A movie life sci-fi meets chick flick. mmmm. Ratings = 0.

Nobody will want the monster to turn good. It is much more fun if it stays bad and we and spend our energy battling the fear. Slaying the savage beast.

So dear son, The monster always loses because the humans are to afraid to let him win, it is much safer to battle and fight than to change and forgive.

Resolve to Make 2008 Great with Christopher Howard

Guess what

Surveys show that 53% of people set themselves up to abandon their New Year Resolutions within weeks.

Perhaps the reason most people do not stick to New Year resolutions is they forget they are for life, not just for New Years Day or for a few weeks. Whether it’s losing weight or getting fit, making more money, changing careers or creating better relationships - the best intentions soon slip to the same old self defeating habits.

What’s the reason for this?

It’s because people really need to be making a "whole year" resolution. One of the main challenges is people suffer from limiting beliefs such as "It’s too hard" or "I have to struggle to make money" or "No matter what I do I can’t lose weight".

At the Breakthrough to Success seminar people often say they want to lose weight, then if you ask them what their priorities or values are in life, they will say "finances" or "career". If you want to lose weight then health needs to be your number 1 focus. If it’s a higher income you are seeking then career and finance needs to be your top priority.

Knowing what your goals are and the reasons why you want to succeed are the foundations for following through on your resolutions.

Resolution tips for you

1. Set only one major goal or resolution. The chances of success are greater when you channel your energy and focus into one goal.
2. Plan ahead. Take time to reflect upon what you will focus on first. Once you achieve that goal you can then set another goal.
3. Choose new resolutions. If you set the same resolutions each year and nothing changes, perhaps change the resolution or goal so it is more achievable to inspire you to continue. You could set a different resolution that you are confident you can achieve – to build a track record of success.
4. Be specific. Plan exactly what you are going to do and by when. Ensure your goals are clear, concise, using positive language and written in the present tense, e.g. "It is now (future date including year) and I have/I am (end step) …."
5. Give yourself reasons why you can succeed. Ask yourself, "why do I want this goal" and "what will achieving that goal do for me or give me?"
6. Ask for help. Enlist the support of a fitness coach, business coach or mentor - to first set your goals, then make changes to your thinking and habits to ensure you follow through.
7. Take action. Break your goals down to small steps every day. Sometimes a goal can seem overwhelming, if you chunk it down into smaller steps it becomes even easier to achieve.
8. Remember to celebrate your wins. Reward yourself at each milestone to reinforce your new, successful behaviours.

Attending Breakthrough to Success is also a great way to learn the skills for changing your behaviour at the subconscious level and to build momentum towards the achievement of your goals. If you haven’t set your goals for the year yet, then this event will walk you through the process from the very start.

Right now, as you read these words, do you know your ideal future is within your reach? That's right, your ideal future is just waiting for you to come and claim it. And, all you have to do is say "yes"!

Say "yes" and begin a journey that will unlock your inner wisdom and strength.

Say "yes" and join Chris Howard at a live Breakthrough to Success event soon, where he will share secrets of how you can align the enormous resources of your unconscious mind with your conscious desires, so that you will be able to actualise your full potential and create the life of your dreams.
