HOW SUCCESSFUL DO YOU WANT TO BE?

Here’s a simple success secret that may interest you. When sleepy, we don’t do well; when normally awake we do better. And when more awake than normal, we even do a lot better. THE MORE AWAKENED WE ARE, THE BETTER WE DO.

This may seem obvious, but most people don’t even consider a higher-than-normal awakening possibility – when in fact it’s the way to live at our best. The more awakened we are, the better experience and outcomes we can get.

If you need proof, try this: when starting your next conversation or task, set a goal of being fully attentive and caring without wavering - no matter what happens!  See how caringly present you can be.

Later, reflect on your experience. Did you feel more alert and alive? Did you have sharper focus and perceive more? Did you feel more intuitive and in command? Were your experiences and results better than usual? If your answer to most of these questions is an unqualified ‘YES’, it’s probably because you shifted from a NORMAL to HIGHER-AWAKENED focus.

USE THIS DELIBERATE FOCUSING TECHNIQUE AND SEE HOW MUCH BETTER YOU DO.

When higher awakened, life can be more wonderful - we go past present limits to higher levels of relationship success, job advancement, creativity and enjoyment of life; and with daily practices there are many higher levels we can go to shape a better life. Higher awakening is the key. Anyone in my classes will tell you this from their experience. It’s that simple!

If you’ve benefited from the above exercise there’s more to be had; you may be interested in my weekly Wednesday night class in Manhattan exploring techniques of HIGHER-AWAKENING. In forty years I’ve turned many people on to them. Yes … I said forty years! Way before mindfulness became a buzzword.

Goodness and joy to all, Joseph.

THE MINDSET THAT MATTERS MOST

Thought is creative in a very personal and fundamental way; it has been found that thoughts not only produce different neuron-firing patterns in the brain, but also physiological changes in the body that affect our health, how we feel and act, and ultimately our quality of life experience.

Therefore it behooves us to be mindful of what we think at each moment, for it’s a primary cause of the life we experience and get; the more positive our thoughts, the more positive our experiences and outcomes are likely to be.

The power of positive thinking is well known and established; however, its power is dependent upon what we truly believe deep-down. And that’s why merely trying to think positively doesn’t always work; when hidden negative core beliefs are in conflict with our positive thoughts, those beliefs override the thoughts and undermine our attempts to be positive.

So to support the power of positive thinking, our fundamental beliefs must be positive as well - core-mindset matters most. This is why it’s so important to identify hidden primary negative beliefs established early in life and reconstruct them. Then positive thinking can be fully effective.

This is where certain forms of therapy and spiritual teaching can be helpful. As they help us clear out fundamental negative beliefs, we unblock our power to create the better life we want.

Bottom line: to maximize the power of positive thinking, root out core negative beliefs.

Goodness and joy to all, Joseph.
