Finding my Way

Last week I spent in Sydney (Australia) crewing a Christopher Howard Event (Presentation and Platform Skills Training) and it was awesome. Long days, well over 300 people if you add together the participants and crew from all parts of Australia and the US and an enormous amount of information.

I love crewing these events, the opportunity to support others in their learning, share my skills and add to them and then of course there's the after party. A bunch of friends and strangers who've become good friends over an intense week.

On my way to a friends house for the night before driving home to Melbourne the next day I had one of those invaluable learning lessons I thought I'd share with you.

I was approaching her work where we'd arranged to meet from a slightly different direction which would have been fine if I'd remembered my map. I was reasonably confident so I decided to take a shortcut. Probably not a good idea considering how little sleep I'd had.

There were landmarks that looked reasonably familiar however somehow or other I kept going past the same landmarks over and over again and nothing looked very familiar. All I could find was the Shopping Center which the last time I was there I had trouble finding.

I'm not sure if you can relate to this or not but I was so tired, there was so much traffic and all I wanted to do was sleep. I was so frustrated. I was making the same mistake over and over again. I allowed myself to get really frazzled and thought "I can't do this by myself!" So I rang my friend.
She didn't answer! OH MY GOD! What was I going to do?

I thought, "I'm going to have to do this by myself." I took a deep breath, settled myself down, re-focussed my intention, reminded myself how clever I am with directions and had another go. And lo and behold there it was, the very turnoff I needed. I'd driven past it and not even seen it. It had been there in plain view the whole time. I found it hard to believe I'd missed it. Everything fell into place and I was at my friends work in about 5 minutes. I had done it with time to have a sleep. It was so easy.

Have you ever done that to yourself before? Worked yourself into a lather and missed the turnoff so to speak? The next time you're feeling a little (or a lot) lost I hope you'll think back to this event in my life and take the time to remind yourself how much you know, take a deep breath, re-focus, set your intention and tap into The Secrets of Your Successful Mind

It's What You Say to Yourself That Counts

You can probably relate to this,

I had no time to write affirmations.

• No matter how hard I “tried” I didn’t seem to be able to think positive thoughts for any great length of time … and …
• As soon as I thought a negative thought I instantly started beating myself up and telling myself how dreadful I was.
• I set goal after goal after goal and I always managed to focus on the ones I didn’t get.
• I was taking as much massive action as I knew how and nothing seemed to be changing.
• I was working REALLY hard and no matter how hard I worked there was always more to do.

I was frustrated, exhausted, dispirited and disillusioned and a virtual time bomb and what’s more I was a pain to all I loved and held dear.

I needed to make changes before I got changes I didn’t want!

So I went on a mission to change my life. Fortunately my passion is helping people and understanding why we behave the way we do. I’ve spent more years than I’m going to tell you studying behavior at University, through my teaching career, my outside studies and in my life.

But I was on a mission to improve myself so I attended many professional and personal development seminars and workshops and I read countless books. I always came away from everything I did feeling motivated and ready for action … and then guess what? … life kicked in! The children, my partner, the house, the shopping, work!

What I found out is that there are so many people out there who had it worse than I did and some of them looked like they had it more together than I did. The bottom line was that it certainly didn’t seem to be what happens to people that counts.

What seems to make the most difference is your attitude and what you say to yourself about what’s happened. Whether you see the glass as half full or half empty.

I was so frustrated because I knew if I could just create a better mindset then life would be so much easier. But to do that I had to have time to think about it and do stuff and I just didn’t have the time.

As a business owner, a parent and the partner of a person who worked long hours and traveled extensively I had no time to spare.

And then one day I drew the line in the sand. I decided enough is enough! Things had to change!

And it came to me; the dawn of realization. I had to change that voice inside my head. You know the one, the one that keeps up that incessant chatter of doubt and negativity. That voice that constantly has something dreadful and dismal to say about you and your luck and your life. Things like … you could never … it’s all right for them … you’ll never be able to … it wouldn’t happen to you … you’ll never keep this up … sound familiar?

So I started recording my affirmations with uplifting music behind them and playing them as I drove the children around and to appointments, as I did the housework and cooked the meals. And you know what this very simple means of subliminal messaging worked.

Within days I was exercising and loving it. I was eating better and feeling better about myself, my partner and my children. I was taking life and all its hiccups in my stride, so I was sleeping better and waking up feeling refreshed and ready for a new day.

And guess what? Because I was playing my recordings any time and anywhere, they impacted my whole family in the same way! As a result we were all enjoying life and each other much, much more.

I know that research into the effects of Subliminal Hypnosis is well documented and quite frankly from my personal experience Subliminal Hypnosis is the best.
