Your Subconscious Mind And Why It Is So Important
Did you know that you have at least two minds? Some experts believe that humans have three minds but we will keep it simple in this article. You have your conscious mind which is active when you are. It fills your head with chatter all of the time.
Then there is your subconscious mind which never sleeps. It remembers everything and will hold all of your values and beliefs. It shapes who you are and whether you will be successful or not. Fortunately you can change what is stored in your subconscious mind.
Your Subconscious doesn't care about Good and Bad
Perhaps "doesn't care" is not the right term - unable to distinguish between good and bad is probably more appropriate. Your subconscious mind will accept any information that you feed into it. The more that you think and act on that information the stronger it becomes.
Here is an example. If you had a bad experience in your life then this can become an irrational fear in your subconscious mind. Let's say that you were forced to speak in public and it didn't go well. You were extremely embarrassed by this event and you do not want to experience this again.
So you create a belief in your subconscious that you cannot do public speaking. You avoid every possible opportunity to speak in public and this strengthens the belief in your subconscious. This is a bad thing for you but your subconscious doesn't care. All it wants to do is protect you.
If you have negative thoughts about a specific thing or event then this will form a limiting belief in your subconscious mind. So if you have a goal to find a higher paying job then one of the skills that you will need is likely to be the ability to speak in public.
Your Conscious Mind is the Gatekeeper
Everything that is in your subconscious mind has been allowed to end up there via your conscious mind. So if you continually have negative thoughts about public speaking then you are telling your subconscious mind to protect you from it.
The good news here is that you can change your thoughts in your conscious mind to remove or replace limiting beliefs in your subconscious. This is something that you will need to work on and it is not magic. You need to be persistent if you want to make changes to your subconscious.
Neutralize Negative Thoughts
You can neutralize the negative thoughts that you experience with positive ones. So if you have a thought that says "I can never speak in public" you can neutralize this with "I can speak in public because I can do anything".
By neutralizing your negative thoughts in this way you will send the right signals to your subconscious mind to pave the way to change any limiting beliefs. The next step in the process is to show your subconscious that you really mean business by taking action.
Tackle your Irrational Fears
Whatever irrational fears you have the best way to tackle them is to just do it anyway. So if you have a fear of public speaking then get out there and do some public speaking! You can start in a small way with a friendly audience. Learn as much as you can about the subject and practice regularly.

Turn Worry Into Welcome With One Simple Question - This Is Powerful
Finding time to savor your life becomes so much easier as you learn the skill of introducing simple attitude shifts to your day.
Very often, when you feel yourself slipping into a rut of fear, anxiety, or negativity, something as easy as pausing and asking yourself the right question will open your mind and move it into exploring a fresh, new approach. As you practice and get comfortable with this skill, I think you will be amazed at how quickly and significantly you can shift your own perspective.
Here's a great example: How do you act when an unfamiliar challenge pops up?
Do you automatically brace yourself! That's a very familiar response for many.
But did you know that tensing your body doesn't just affect your muscles? Indeed, it constricts your problem-solving abilities and inhibits your creativity, too.
Wondering how that works?
Well, just as fear freezes your body, it also calcifies your options. Likewise, anxiety creates a simplistic either/or scarcity mentality. That's definitely not the best mindset for creative thinking.
So you can see how, when fear takes the driver's seat, you find it that much more difficult to prioritize. It's also harder to solve problems and make decisions. And it's harder to keep to a healthy schedule.
But there's good news about all this.
You can swiftly overcome the natural tendency to tense with another natural impulse.
Curiosity
Curiosity is one of the most powerful antidotes to fear. And it provides the perfect climate for learning.
Mobilizing your curiosity also actually changes you for the better. That's because you stop focusing self-consciously on the you-who-doesn't-know, and shift into the you-who-is-eager-to-figure-it-out.
Give it a try.
Any time you notice yourself apprehensively thinking, "What if... ?" try replacing that with "I wonder what... ?"
It feels SO much better!
As you regain your inner balance with this simple question, you will find it much easier to ride the new wave of change with smart time choices. Try it and see. And let me know how it goes for you -- I'd love to hear!

10 Ways to Live More Fully
Stop trying to be perfect: You already are. Yes, each one of us is a work in progress, but that work is perfect in its state of evolution. When you are driven by perfection, you are unable to appreciate who you already are. Try instead to look at what is right about you.
Stop Trying to Impress Others: The people who want to be impressed (in the way I am talking about here) are not worth your time. The people who will judge you without knowing you or based on some criteria that are not even important to you are just not your people. The people who matter will think you are amazing. Pay more attention to them.
Stop Trying to Be Someone Else: If you are comparing yourself to someone who has different talents than you do or if you think that you should be doing things a different way than is natural for you, instead start to appreciate how you do things and what your talents are.
Find What You Love: When you let yourself be yourself, you will naturally be drawn to what you love. But, what you love also shows you something about who you are. If you don't know what you love, experiment. If you like it, try doing it again and see if it grows into something.
Give Yourself Permission to Do What You Love: Once you find the things you love, do them a lot. The more that you do what you love, the happier and the more satisfied you will be with your life. If you know what you love but you are not doing it, get the support you need to give yourself permission to be happy.
Don't Waste Time Doing Other Things: Why bother doing things that you do not enjoy? Yes, I understand life has some practicalities that need to be addressed, but once they have been attended to-are you still wasting time not doing what you love? If so, start a plan to cut out the things that are not in line with who you want to be or what you love, and then take action.
Slow Down: We can all get a bit ahead of ourselves. It is not about doing more or doing it faster, it is about really enjoying our life. We can't do that if we are moving so fast that we don't even know what is happening. Start by building some real breaks into your schedule.
Pay Attention to What Is Working (Most of the Time): Most of us would benefit from being a bit more positive. There is a place for looking at what is not working, but when we pay attention to what works, we often learn more about it and therefore can have more of it. We also feel better about what we are experiencing. If you see yourself getting negative, find one thing that is working.
Express Gratitude: Being grateful is one of the most effective ways to be happier. When in doubt, find something to appreciate. And don't forget to apply it to yourself!
Learn to Fully Receive: The emphasis on doing that most of us have been enculturated into leaves us less skilled when it comes to receiving. But how can we have a full and rich life if we can't receive it? The next time someone compliments you, take it in.

Focus On What You Want, Not On What You Don't Want
A number of weeks ago, I was having a conversation with a good friend of mine called Wain Gordon. This was a time when he spoke about how important it was for us to put our energy into what we want to experience.
He said that it is easy to focus on what we don't want and to completely disregard what we actually want. This was something that he had noticed in himself, as well as others.
A Closer Look
On one level, it could be said that it is a good idea for someone to be clear about what they don't want. Surely, if they are clear about what they don't want, they won't allow themselves to experience it again.
The trouble with this approach, however, is that they have an unconscious mind that doesn't understand negation. Therefore, while part of them is making it clear that they don't want something, another part of them doesn't understand this.
A Different Way of Operating
If this wasn't the case, then, and their unconscious mind worked in the same way as their conscious mind, it would be very different. One could focus on what they don't want and their conscious mind would realise this, thereby giving them more of what they do want.
When this is understood, one will be able to understand why they have continued to experience more of what they don't want, even though they have been perfectly clear about not wanting it. Yet, when this isn't understood, it can be normal for someone to see themselves as a powerless victim.
Back To the Conversation
Once this point was made, Wain touched upon how important it was not to come from a place of resistance. So, what this means is that someone can acknowledge what they don't want, without feeding into it.
Through doing this, they won't be focusing on what they don't won't and neither will they be fuelling what they don't want by resisting it. I think this is a key point as it can be easy to focus on what we want and at the same time, experiencing a strong charge when it comes to what we don't want.
It's Still There
As a result of this, someone can focus on what they want while also feeding energy into what they don't want. The saying that comes to mind here is 'what we resist is what will persist'.
Taking this into account, it will be essential for someone to let go of their resistance and to simply notice whenever something appears internally or externally that is not wanted. This will take away the energy that will keep it alive and allow this energy to go into what is wanted.
Final Thoughts
Like most things, this a process and not something that is going to take place overnight. What matters is that someone takes the first step and self-compassion is exercised when they momentarily go off-track.
â
If one finds that they struggle to no longer focus on something that they don't want, it may illustrate that there is something within them that they need to acknowledge. Through giving whatever it is the space to be seen and heard, they may find that the resistance starts to disappear.

Establishing Routine
I remember when I had my first child. We lived in a basement suite in Tisdale, Saskatchewan. Our landlady told me that the secret to having healthy and happy babies is to keep their stomachs full and their bottoms dry. That sounds simple but there was a lot of wisdom in that advice.
Babies don't care if they are dressed in designer fashions. They can sleep through a great deal of noise and usually handle being passed around from one admiring person to the other.
The problem is when they start growing. If they don't have a routine or reasonable expectations, they can grow up to be sick and irresponsible adults.
Many times, my clients tell me about their lives, and I am sad for them. Watching movies until the crack of dawn messes up their whole day. When they sleep until noon, they miss sunlight and breakfast. It often takes them until almost suppertime to get into a mood for leaving the house. When they don't have any planned activities, they might spend hours listening to television or just thinking about negative things.
When I grew up we had news reports that lasted about twenty minutes. The newspaper reported events in other countries long after they had occurred. Now we have twenty-four-hour channels that spout opinions rather than news. We watch natural disasters or holds ups as they are happening. Even though these events occur in different countries, they enter our minds and can cause us to feel depressed, discouraged and hopeless. Turn the television off!
It can be difficult to fall asleep but if you are tired and not napping, sleep comes easier. It might take a few days to get into a habit but the best thing you can do is set an alarm for early morning. Get out of bed, eat breakfast and don't take naps. Once you have done this for a few days you will find that you have established a healthier pattern for your life.
Get out of the house! Winter can be difficult for some but going for a walk or doing volunteer work will feed your soul and help her to feel better.
Think about what has been good for you in the past and start doing that again. Were you a person who enjoyed doing crafts, baking or sewing? What were the thinks that you enjoyed as a teenager? Did you like to swim, play a sport or collect stamps? What are the goals that you have had but haven't started yet? Would you like to work on your family tree or learn a language?
Well, as they say, "Today is the first day of the rest of your life". Instead of just sleep at odd hours, eating poorly and thinking negatively, make a plan that will help you to establish a routine and find a purpose.

Personal Power: Can Childhood Trauma Stop Someone From Developing Personal Power?
When someone has a sense of personal power, they are likely to experience life in a certain way. For one thing, they will feel powerful and know that they have an effect on their life.
As a result of this, they are not going to have a problem with saying no and asserting themselves. If they don't want to do something, or if something is not right for them, they will make this clear.
A Fulfilling Life
Through being this way, they are also going to feel good about themselves - they will be in touch with their inherent value. To do something that they don't want to do or to accept something that isn't right is then not going to feel good.
Another way of looking at this is that one will be their own best friend as opposed to their own worst enemy. And, by being on their own side and feeling capable, there will be no reason for them to tolerate a life that is not rewarding.
One Area
â
When it comes to their career, they could do something that fills them with energy; with this being something that they have done for a number of years. This is not to say that they won't have 'bad' days, though.
â
When it comes to their career, they could do something that fills them with energy; with this being something that they have done for a number of years. This is not to say that they won't have 'bad' days, though.
If this is not the case, it could show that they are studying and will soon embark on a career that is highly fulfilling. Perhaps what they were doing before no longer matched up with their values, hence why they had to make a change.
Strong Connections
The interactions that they have with the people in their life could typically be peaceful and harmonious. If there is something that they are not happy with, they could end up talking about it directly.
This will come back to the fact that they will feel comfortable in their own skin and won't have an issue with expressing themselves. Also, they won't believe that other people are out to get them and that it is a case of dominate or be dominated.
The Norm
If they were to look back on their life, they may see that they have been this way for as long as they can remember. What they may do is credit their caregiver/s with playing a big part in how they experience life.
Then again, they could look back on their life and see that there was a time when their life was very different. Due to how different it was, they may find it hard to connect with this period of their life.
Another Scenario
When someone doesn't have a sense of personal power, it will be normal for them to feel powerless and as though they have no effect on their life. That is, of course, unless they have gone to the other extreme and are extremely controlling.
With that consequence aside, one may be used to being walked over and experience power struggles on a regular basis. Instead of speaking up, they could let other people walk over them and end up behaving in a passive-aggressive manner.
A Core Belief
They could believe that other people want to control them and that there is nothing that they can do about this. Through having this outlook, they will probably see themselves as a victim and other people as perpetrators.
Said another way, they will have what is often described as a 'victim consciousness'. Being this way is going to make it hard for them to feel good about themselves and they will most likely have low self-worth; that's if they have any worth whatsoever.
Two Areas
Ergo, if they do have a career, and don't just do something that pays the bills, each day could be filled with problems. They could feel violated on a daily basis and not feel appreciated.
As for their relationships, they could spend time with people who are not right for them; that's if these people are not abusive. There could be moments when they wonder if they even exist, thanks to how other people treat them and don't respect them or their boundaries.
What's going on?
One way of looking at this would be to say that the reason their life is like this is that they haven't developed a sense of personal power. The part of their being that relates to this, their solar plexus, is likely to be undeveloped.
When it comes to the chakra system, this will be the third chakra, and the colour for this one is yellow. This charka won't be working as it should, with this playing a part why they have all these challenges.
Back In Time
What this may illustrate is that their childhood was a time when they experienced some kind of abuse and/or neglect. This would have meant that they were violated on a weekly, if not daily, basis and they wouldn't have been able to do anything about what was happening.
Furthermore, along with feeling completely powerless and helpless, they would have also experienced a fair amount of toxic shame and rage. So, instead of receiving what they needed to receive in order to develop a strong sense of self, they would have stayed in an undeveloped state and been loaded up with trauma.
Awareness
If one can relate to this, and they are ready to change their life, they may need to reach out for external support. This is something that can be provided by a therapist or healer.

Is Inspired Action An Important Part Of The Manifestation Process?
After becoming clear about what it is that they want to attain, or experience, someone may believe that the next step will be for them to have the right thoughts. Through 'thinking positive', what they desire will show up.
If they have this outlook, it is likely to show that they have been following the law of attraction teachings. According to these teachings, the key will be for them to have the right thoughts so that they can 'attract' what they want into their life.
The Cause
They are likely to have been told that their thoughts create their feelings, which is why they will need to have the right thoughts. Their feelings, like their thoughts, will be a powerful part of the manifestation process.
Thus, whenever they experience 'negative' feelings, it will only be because they have been thinking 'negative' thoughts. Depending on what it is that they desire, it might not be long until what they want shows up.
A Frustrating Time
Then again, they may find that that the weeks and months go by, but very little takes place. As a result of this, they will probably find that it becomes increasingly difficult for them to stay positive.
Instead, they may find that they start to feel frustrated and angry, and end up questioning if they have any control over their life. They will have done the 'right' things, only for their life to stay the same or only marginally improve.
A Closer Look
Out of their need to have the right thoughts, there is the chance that they have ended up repressing how they truly feel. The reason for this is while their thoughts can create how they feel; they can also trigger feelings that are held in their emotional body.
These feelings, the feelings that have been pushed out of their awareness, will have an effect on how they experience life. Their resonance will be affected by these feelings, with their resonance defining what they can, or can't, experience.
Two Areas
With this in mind, simply changing their thoughts is not always going to change how they feel. At times, what this will do is just cause them to disconnect from how they feel and then for these feelings to shape their life from behind the scenes, so to speak.
Without understanding the impact that these feelings are having, it will seem as though something 'out there' is influencing their life. Another way to look at this would be to say that it is not just about what is taking place in their conscious mind; it is also about what is taking place in their unconscious mind.
Another Part
Further, being in the right state is not going to be enough; it will also be necessary for them to take action. This is not to say that this is just about them taking action; so taking action just for the sake of taking action is not the answer.
What this is about is them taking inspired action; an action that is taken after having felt an inner nudge or calling to do something. This need will have come from their body as opposed to their mind.
Confusion
When they feel the nudge or call to do something, their mind might not understand what is going on. Due to this, it might even try to stop them from taking action altogether.
To their mind, taking a certain action could be seen as a waste of time or even dangerous. This part of them will just want to keep them safe - and what is familiar is what will be classed as what is safe to this part of them - it is not that it actually wants to sabotage their life.
How Can I Serve You?
In addition to having the right feelings and imagining that they already have what it is that they desire, taking inspired action is another important part of the manifestation process. If you can relate to what I have written and need additional support, one of the ways that I can provide this is through the personalised consultations that I offer via Skype or Zoom.

Creating Positive Changes
There are some causes why our illusions do not materialize. Take a look and evaluate if one of these seems familiar to you:
Objectives too high and unreal. These usually create a sense of inertia and awe. There are probably many "small-big" details in which it is important to take care before launching yourself into a larger space. When a priority area of your life lack of stability, it means that there is "something" that has not been healed or completed. In this way you operate unconsciously, grow insecure and no matter how good are your goal setting, your motivation will be not long-lasting.
Floating Objectives: These objectives are not related to your vision. They can be based on two things. One: In what someone thinks you should do or want. Two: It is based only on an illusion which does not support any of your achievement intentions in your life. There is no detailed plan or a fixed strategy. And if indeed there's any, you will continue postponing more than achieving. Not having a strategy is the same thing as having neither plan nor action.
Ambiguous Objectives: Here it is difficult for you to establish a concrete plan. Too much talking, too little of action. On the other hand, your goals are so ambiguous that your plan is not specific enough to have a tangible result.
Lack of Inspiration / Motivation: You have your intentions clear, you know where you want to go and you can even visualize yourself in your final achievement. But nevertheless there is a part of you, that no matter how attractive the plan, you simply lack energy. It costs you to be consistent.
You keep changing your mind: This is a clear sign that there is no clarity in what you want. A fear that you have not been able to handle domains your mind and you get stuck no matter how great your intentions are.
Very rigid or absolute goals: There is an expectation created of how each result should look like. It does not give you space to creativity and to flow before any change or unexpected challenge. Life is an unpredictable process and sticking to a certain way of achievement is limiting our chances of success and personal fulfillment.
If you want to create effective changes in your life, here are some strategies that could support you to be successful in your diligence:
- Choose consciously a goal that you feel manageable, and that remains a challenge for you.
- Make sure that your goal is directly related to your Vision and Purpose of personal life.
- Be as clear as the water that you are investing your energies in something that you really want, worthwhile and doable.
- Define a plan that not only delineates the biggest steps to achieve it, but also what you need to complete to make it happen. And that each one of the previous ones is directed towards your vision, not towards the opposite side.
Stand firm for what you love and dream about. Create positive changes by making sure you look at every detail! From this point forward... Make it happen!

Discovering and Understanding Your Life Purpose
What is it that you're missing in your life? What is it that you'd most like to have? Would you like more love, more freedom, more peace?
In life, we strive and fight in our lives to get whatever it is that we believe we need or want. We reach personal and professional goals and acquire what we can afford. But is that what life is really about? Is that what makes our soul thrive and feel happy? Is it what makes me satisfied and complete?
Look inside you. What are you missing? What haven't you got enough of? What would you like to have more of? What do you dream of having?
If your life ended today, what would you be sorry you never got? What would you miss?
If you dream of having things, what need are those things trying to satisfy? What do they give you? What do they make you feel, power, satisfaction, peace... ? If you dream of reaching goal after goal, what does success mean to you? What does it give you? Those things and goals are your way to satisfy your personal needs and those needs somehow mask what you most desire. Ask yourself, then, what it is that your being most wants, what it is that you crave day after day, what is it that would make you feel complete and whole.
Once you know, why not turn that into your life purpose? Imagine planning your days and actions with that general purpose in mind. Everything you do then has that ultimate purpose. Your life immediately adopts a new meaning. Imagine you choose "peace" as your life purpose.Whenever dealing with others, you will now target peace as the highest goal. Your relationships will have that ultimate goal. And so will your work. And your leisure time. And your everyday actions, And the objectives you wish to reach. And your conversations... If you then ever feel bad for whatever reason, ask yourself: am I still pursuing my purpose or did I go astray from it? Your life purpose becomes your inner compass, your north, your direction to follow no matter what. If you deviate from it, you will feel bad because you will not be aligned with it. Which is the same reason that will lead you to returning to it and resuming it. Once your life purpose is defined, it is much easier to return to it. This step that I'm taking, this conversation that I'm having, this action that I'm undertaking... is aligned with my purpose? Is making me move forward? If not, what do I need to do to change it?
Give yourself the gift of this life compass. Don't you see how your life is changed? Pick your purpose and re-focus your life.
Enjoy life... ALL of it,

Why Is Having a Big, Worthy Goal So Important?
Human beings are goal-orientated creatures by nature. We are, as far as we know, the highest form of creation and we are supposed to set goals.
We are supposed to look for ways to improve our own lives and those of the lives around us - it plays a huge part in the evolution of our species.
Dissatisfaction with your life is a healthy, creative state of mind - we are DESIGNED to be discontent!
Creative discontent is the very heart of motivation, and yet so many people settle for what they currently have (and often complain about it) rather than taking measures to improve things.
These are usually the same people who, when you tell them about any potential goals/dreams you may be considering will tell you to 'stop fantasising'.
They'll ask you why you 'can't just be happy with what you've got and leave it at that'.
But the truth is, in order for any human being to live a fulfilled, creative life, goals are essential.
One of the most dynamic laws of the universe is the Law of Creation and Disintegration. Absolutely NOTHING will stay as it is - you are either improving the quality of your life or, by default, you are taking away from it, in one way or another.
The choice is yours. It's a decision only you can make and making no decision is to make a decision.
The fact is, it is only when a person becomes sufficiently dissatisfied with their life as it is now, that they will begin to think of ways to improve it - they will decide on a goal.
Dissatisfaction has given us cars, planes, TV and the internet. It has taken us out of the cave and put us into skyscrapers.
We would still be reading by wax candlelight if Thomas Edison had not experienced a deep dissatisfaction with the candle.
Start to think about how you're living now. The things you do from the minute you wake up until you close your eyes at night.
Now think about how you'd LIKE it to be - how, with the infinite potential you possess, that scenario might be improved upon.
Keep thinking about this - several times a day, every day - and you can be sure that dissatisfaction will set in, if it hasn't already.
Someone once said "In the absence of clearly defined goals, we become strangely loyal to daily acts of trivia."
Isn't that true? So many people fill their days with meaningless tasks that result in... nothing. Or just more of the same.
Goal achievers aren't bogged down by such acts of trivia. They're interesting people. They're productive, happy people.
A goal achiever frequently accomplishes more with his or her life in one year than most people do in a lifetime.
Which way would you rather live?

Good Habits Support Good Results
Are you perhaps feeling that now's the time to improve your health and your life? Good habits are often crucial to achieving good results and a positive outcome.
You may be looking to lose weight, become fitter, more successful, are motivated to do well at work or feel it's time to extend your circle of friends; all require sustained effort to continue beyond the first few enthusiastic days.
Let good habits support good results
- The first thing to appreciate about good habits is that they must have a real resonance for you. If you're not especially bothered about being slimmer, fitter or more successful, then that lack of enthusiasm won't sustain you through cold dark evenings or on the tough days when your will power starts to waver. Having friends or family who are pushing you to 'improve' only increases your stress levels, resentment and maybe even feelings of low self-esteem. Pick good habits that feel right for you.
- Small steps are a positive way to move towards your bigger goals. Stepping-stones can help to prevent you from feeling overwhelmed at having to tackle everything all at once. Recognise each milestone you achieve; give yourself credit for enrolling in that class, not eating that cake, declining that alcoholic drink. Each decision takes you nearer to those good results.
- Stay focused, but also appreciate that sometimes other options may appear which can add value to your life. Don't allow yourself to become too distracted from your agreed good habits but equally be ready for great opportunities that may come along. Ring-fence the time, money or mental energy you expend on distractions. Allow yourself to make the most of them and enjoy what they bring to your life, but don't let them take you away from the big picture and your ultimate goal.
- Being accountable to others can be a great motivator. Having to check in regularly and report on your progress ensures that you keep your eye on each stage of the journey. Knowing that you've a regular date in the diary can quickly push temptations out of your mind.
- Joining a group and working together on shared goals can provide a good support network. Exchanging tips, advice and motivational stories can give a real boost on those tired, unenthusiastic days. And if we know our attendance is important to the group's survival it can inspire us to continue going. Being a group member, even when it's online, can encourage us to stick with our good habits. The downside though is that if one or two members lose their enthusiasm it can demotivate the rest.
- Sometimes paying upfront to join a club or gym pushes people to go regularly, whilst others lose interest and go only a couple of times even after paying out all that money. For me, I've committed to a weekly delivery of locally grown organic vegetables. It's inspired me to eat at least one item from the box every day and it's good to cook from scratch, eat fresh organic meals, shop local and sometimes try new things that I've never cooked before. Having it arrive every week means there's no excuse to slack off from eating this healthy veg, and it's a habit I'm pleased to maintain.
- Be aware of your vulnerable areas and put steps in place to mitigate them. So, for example, if you know that you find reasons to justify stopping at the petrol station, off licence or supermarket every day, where you then 'accidentally' buy chocolates, wine, cigarettes or scratch cards, intercept those times and don't go. Instead, shop online or make a list and shop once a week. Don't put yourself in temptation's way.
- Using the services of a professional coach or therapist may be worth considering if you feel there are specific issues which are holding you back and which need to be addressed. Regular sessions could help you move on, introduce a positive mindset, manage stress and determine to treat yourself better.
Be gentle with yourself. It can take 2-6 months for a new habit to become your automatic default. If you experience slip ups, bad days and 'can't be bothered's be kind to yourself and let them go. Remind yourself of all the good reasons you have to persist and start again, knowing that by sticking with your good habits you'll ultimately support good results and outcomes.

Read The Goals You Write Daily
The key idea of life and existence is to achieve and grow, right? So, the thing to do, I understand is to make plans and work on them constantly and always like a ship with a good rudder, ideal helm people running the ship and if you have a great motor and lots of fuel, all the better. For what you set as a map for your life if followed in the right ways is ultimately what you get.
If you really want something as a goal to achieve, all obstacles, large or small are nothing but silly busy work. They should not stop the relentless advancing if you really want something, though.
Sure, in some ways, I am saying that winning is everything that a goal is, and losing is nothing but the temporary obstacles on the way to the winning if understood in the right ways. When losing is understood in the wrong ways, losing is permanent quitting. Indeed, we must never quit even when loss happens, we must just change approaches, and if we do lose, we begin again more intelligently, not quit permanently.
Also, I write this article to encourage genuine and permanent winning, whatever it costs. It is a winning that is worth it when you genuinely make it to where you want to go permanently.
Tonight, I was watching the singer Susan Boyle sing the song "Wild Horses" on the computer streaming service "You Tube" and thinking seriously about the subject matter of this article with the understanding of genuine success being applied with consistency, not exactly "one mountain top to be reached, and that is it". The most sober and realistic thought anyone can have in life is this: To be a consistent great and winning in anything, understanding why you are doing it is more important than the actual deed done for the sole reason that awareness of yourself is more important than just "looking good doing it". Think about that one and you will understand that I am right about that. To spell out my meaning by that is this reality: We must fully understand the in, out, over and under of why we are doing it before we do anything, especially win with full understanding, skill and mastery. That concept is more important than the actual action or how it gets done. Without that why reason, we purely, genuinely lose.
