Change your life part 2

So here’s a simple technique to figuring it out:

1. Make a list of all your desires

That’s everything you desire… All holidays, all toys, all personal needs, all emotional needs… Everything you don’t have and everything you do have but you want more of. 

 2. Rank them 1 to 100%

Now go through them one at a time and rank them on a percentage basis. 100% = “I MUST have this in my life, it is what I want to do with my life.” Right down to 60%, “Yes I’d really like this in my life but if it didn’t happen then I’m ok with it.”

You probably won’t have any on there that are less than 60%. And not all of them will fit in the top 10%, as if they do, you’ll never get anywhere… So rank them appropriately.

Be careful not to give them a higher ranking because you think you should… Because, “What would someone else think?” This is not about someone else, it’s about you and you have to tell yourself the truth if you want this to work.

Spend some time doing this, it’s not painful as it’s you dreaming about your most pleasurable life. Imagine yourself as a child again dreaming about your ideal life and go and have some fun and do it… After all your current plan isn’t working is it, so it’s time for a new one.

 3. For now just focus on the 90 – 100% range.

Sift through and re-order your desires. Rank them highest at the top. For now you are going to focus only on the desires you have in the top 10%.

Go through each desire in turn. Start to feel what it would feel like to have each of these desires. Then re-rank them if the figure you’ve given them no longer feels right. Move them up or down, but let your feelings guide you only when you have managed to feel what it will feel like to feel having them.

Don’t worry, you are only dreaming at the moment, your ego has nothing to fear. I’m not asking you to go and create them, you are just dreaming as if you were a child again. And there is nothing to fear from dreaming.

Your ego may say something to you now like… “Yes but don’t get your hopes up…” or something similar… If you hear that sentence then you have come to the right place as that voice is not helping you live the life you want.

 4. Feel grateful

Feel grateful in turn for each of the desires in your top 10%.

Feel again what it would be like to have them and then feel grateful for having them. Get in touch with this feeling.

Spend enough time here feeling it so that when you think of your desire again you can switch this feeling on easily. You are creating a memory of how you felt to HAVE what you desire.

 5. Monitor your thoughts

As you do all of this, monitor your thoughts. If you feel like it write them down… Things like, ‘Well that’s never going to happen!’ Or ‘That’s just not realistic!’

Monitor these thoughts; get in touch with your feelings towards them. It is those thoughts and that voice saying them which is keeping you away from the life you desire.

That voice is not you by the way. That voice is the buildup of junk (the bugs) in your mind which has happened throughout your life and has created an entity which dwells in your mind 24/7.

You know it, as the voices that always fill up the silence in your mind, never giving you a moment’s peace… Well they come from this entity. This entity tells you that it’s your friend, but it’s not…

However, it will probably convince you that it is and send you back to sleep very shortly after reading this. If you do not have the life you desire it is because you are not the controller of your mind. You have allowed an entity in which keeps you trapped where you are. The only way you can defeat this entity is by remaining awake and noticing when it speaks to you.

If you feel that every year is getting shorter and shorter as you age then it is, because you are spending more and more of each year asleep at the wheel while this entity runs your life on auto-pilot.

The weapon you have which can defeat it is your presence, so monitor what you are thinking to ensure you keep the bugs out.

 6. Be prepared to act

Once you know what you truly desire and you have felt what it feels like to be grateful for having it, you are ready to listen to your intuition. What you have done is shown your subconscious mind what you want.

You have shown it this by feeling grateful for it. So right now your subconscious mind is looking for ways to bring that reality into your reality. Be prepared to listen to your intuition. Look out for subtle inspirations you get.

When you get one then analyze it. Does it feel like it came from your intuition or does it feel like a voice in your head said yes do it. Avoid what the voices tell you, they are guiding you the wrong way. Wait for the feelings as the voices will lie to you but your emotions will not.

Learn to trust your emotions again and you really can have what you desire.

6 Essential Rules of Designing Your Ideal Life By Andy Shaw

Nearly all people live their entire lives without a design, without a journey plan, which means of course they live their life without a map. They go on the most amazing journey of all yet they do it without a map…

Virtually everyone on Earth lives their life by accident bumping into things wondering what happened, and wondering why their life isn't going to plan. But it is going to plan, they and probably you, failed to plan so of course, they and probably you by default planned to fail... (Have you had enough of living this way yet?) Nearly every single person on earth is Mr, Mrs or Miss Bump!

Would you consider EVER going on a car journey to somewhere you have never been before without a map?

No, of course you wouldn’t, that would be insane wouldn’t it… After all how would you know where to go? Where the heck would you end up if you had no map? Your journey would not be successful and would end in a pathetic waste of time and energy…

Yet you do not give a moment’s thought about a map for your life. You do not think that if you want to end up where you want to get to in life (I.e. become a success in something), then maybe you should give just a tiny fraction of your consideration to getting some sort of map put together…

It is so obvious that one is needed when spelt out, it is unbelievable that everyone does not have one…

But they don’t, and that is because they are not the rulers of their mind, as their mind does not give them the obvious stuff! Instead it confuses them and tells them that sorting out a map will be hard work, will take a long time and will of course be very painful… And guess what? 99.86% of people believe them and so don’t have one.

They go on the most amazing journey of all… with no plan, no map… just bumping into things and going off in different directions. They are on the journey of their lives with no sense of direction. Is it any wonder they end up lost and confused?

"Successful people didn't need a map to learn to walk and neither did you. But then you didn't have a load of bad thinking dominating your mind then did you?"

Is this you?

A map though is just a map of your dreams and it is a map to the most wonderful location. So how come nearly all people associate this with work and pain? Because we are not the rulers of our mind and we have lost touch with the fact that our mind should work for us, not the other way around.

Knowing What You Want (The Secret Of How To Change Your Life)

The secret to living the life you desire is VERY simple, you just have to first know what you want... Sounds simple because it is, but I could go to a room with 1,000 people in it and not find one who could give me definite directions to what they want. So if you are not living the life you desire, you do not know what you want.

And the opposite of course is if you don’t know what you want, you have little to no chance of ever getting it… You know how difficult it can be to get the stuff you do know what you want… Then it should be crystal clear to you right now that trying to get something you don’t know what you want is impossible right?

So if you want to know what your BIGGEST priority must be in life, if you want to get the life you desire, it is simple… You’ve got to figure out what you want… Or …You WON’T get it!

So here’s a simple technique to figuring it out:

Eliminate Stress Part 2

But you are not here now. You are here now obviously as you are reading this :-) What I mean is when your stressed you are not here now, you are either in the future or in the past. Here now is the only place where you are free from stress. So if you want to be free of stress then there is a simple technique which you must apply to remain here now.

1. Accept what is

Whatever has happened, whatever you have brought into your life, and whatever you think you haven’t, have all happened. The past cannot be changed, so you just simply accept what is.

In doing this you are removing the strength of anything the past can do to you. The past can only harm you of course if you allow it to. If you do not allow it to then it can do you no harm at all. So accept what is, as it cannot be changed.

 2. Surrender to whatever is going to happen

This is you accepting that whatever will happen will work out for the best for you… Even if it looks like it will be bad at the time. We’ve all had things happen which felt bad at the time and then turned out to be the best thing.

Well just accept that things will always work out for the best.

This doesn’t mean you cannot work diligently towards preventing what you don’t want to happen. It just means that if it does happen then you will accept it then. Until it does, you will do all you can to avoid it but you are just not emotionally attached to it. Attachment causes stress.

This way it enables you to surrender to it and it frees you from the stress you created.

 3. Just be where you are

Live now, recognise that you are the creator of your stress, so simply decide that you will live now in this moment and do all you can to do all you are doing… However, you are just choosing to no longer be stressed by it.

When you notice stress building up in the future, all you have to do is simply notice it and remember you are allowing it to build up in your absence of presence.

This is the power of awareness. As you become aware, you gain control because you noticed that you are the creator of your stress. Then by accepting what is, you can master it and no longer allow stress into your life.

It will come in, we are busy after all, but just notice it, accept it is there and now needs to be let go of. There is nothing to control, you merely have to let go of it.

As you do this you will hear your mind fighting with you. Listen to the insanity of it wanting to find ways to get you to hang on to your stress…

These moments are precious, as you for the first time are getting to see the controller of your life and how it has manipulated you into thinking that you didn’t bring about your stress. And how it wasn’t your fault that you are now stressed.

But it is your fault, you were absent and so you allowed the controller of your mind to bring in something which made your life a lot harder… The secret to removing the stress, as well as the controller, is to accept what is and to start to notice its actions.

These are the cause of the nasty things in your life and it is bugs in your mind. But if you remember to apply those 3 magic words (accept what is) then you will be a lot less stressed for the rest of your life.

3 Magic Words That Eliminate Stress Instantly!”
By Andy Shaw

Wouldn’t that be wonderful, a way to eliminate stress instantly what a gift that would be to our wellbeing… But impossible right? After all, you have so much of it and the world tells you it’s too difficult to remove… But what if it was possible… What if?

In the world we live in today of ever increasing ways to communicate and ever increasing numbers of people wanting to contact and touch us… Not to mention the eternal pressures to go out and create money to buy stuff, means we are all working more and more.

Usually both husbands and wives work, otherwise they could not have stuff… So stress builds up and this is just one of the many reasons why less and less people are getting married but the divorce rate does not go down… Which means of course that it is increasing

Stress is everywhere, and people make a fortune selling ways to control your stress or how to relieve stress... And of course medicine does its bit to give you pills to help you feel less stressed. You buy into this need to control stress… as obviously you can’t cure this demon…

Have you ever asked but why can’t it be cured…? Well of course it can but there is no money in the cure, there’s money in controlling stress… So what I’m offering is the cure as life is far too short to live life so stressed. And besides, there’s far more enjoyable ways for me to make money than by selling how to control stress. So I’ll just give you the cure instead.

Stress is not its own entity; it is not a disease but a dis-ease. Stress is just something we create ourselves in our minds. Yes, we are the creators of the nightmare we live in. In doing this we do not live well as we damage our own wellbeing. But stress is just a choice…

I know this may sound very easy but you can choose to not be stressed…. I can hear what you are saying, ‘No you can’t!’, ‘Don’t be stupid!’, ‘I wish!’ Or any other one of a thousand sentences… But the truth is you can, stress is a choice, stress is something you are choosing to do, because you are not choosing not to.

Nothing stands still and if you are not choosing to not be stressed, then you are choosing to be stressed in your lack of choice and presence. When you are present then you cannot be stressed, but that’s really for another time. What I’m going to share with you here is why you are stressed.

You are almost certainly stressed because you have chosen to do too much. Or you have had something happen which did not go your way. Or you are worried that something which is yet to happen will not go your way.

So you are creating your stress by allowing it to be there, you are allowing it to be there because you are not accepting what is.

There is magic in those 3 little words if you are willing to tell your ego to shut up talking for a second…

"Successful people are specialists at creating eustress (positive stress) that helps them achieve more in less time."

You see, your ego likes you being stressed as it knows you are not present, and if you are not present then it has you trapped inside your mind either in the past or in the future…

But you are not here now. You are here now obviously as you are reading this :-) What I mean is when your stressed you are not here now, you are either in the future or in the past. Here now is the only place where you are free from stress. So if you want to be free of stress then there is a simple technique which you must apply to remain here now. Tomorrow the three phrases
