Would you like a breather from that sometimes?

If you can empty your mind you can give yourself a sense of peace, an emptiness and quiet that allows you to relax.And also to allow space for new ideas to come. Just stopping can have huge benefits to your well-being, and to whatever projects you are working on.

It is wonderful to be free of the chatter in your brain. And another advantage is the additional clarity you get. This can be especially noticeable if you go outside. Just listen to the birdsong and appreciate the beauty and diversity of nature around you.

It’s a great place to be.

So if you don’t already do this, where do you start?

Well, there are different ways to do this and it is worth finding one that works for you.

Some people choose to meditate, or you can just choose to put yourself into that innocent space you experienced when you were a child.

Don’t know how to meditate? There are no rules to this, put simply it’s just about sitting quietly and allowing your mind to become empty.

“Meditation is not a solution of any problem in particular; it solves nothing. It simply helps you to get rid of the mind, the problem-creator. It simply helps you to slip out of the mind like a snake slips out of the old skin. Once you know you are not the mind the great transcendence has happened. Suddenly all problems become insignificant; slowly, slowly they evaporate. You are left with a profound peace; a great silence prevails. This silence is the solution. This peace is the answer, the answer of all answers”. OSHO

And then there is the question of riches v wealth. I have heard people say that riches don;t make you happy but wealth does. In this case “riches” means all the material things.

And then there is the question of riches v wealth. I have heard people say that riches don;t make you happy but wealth does. In this case “riches” means all the material things.

I have also heard the two words used the other way around, and it really doesn’t matter which one you use. The bottom line is what does it means to you, and how do you achieve it?

I do believe that whatever material wealth you achieve, however many houses you own or businesses you run, if that is all you have you will still have a very empty life.

To me wealth is very close to abundance, and this is something we can all tap into.There are no real limitations in this world, only those that we perceive.

And ultimately what we all seek, if we are really honest, is love. In my experience the people who are happiest have an abundance of love in their lives. And when they have that they don’t “need” anything else.

And you know what the good news is? You don’t need anyone else.

Refresh your memory about happiness here and here

Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace and gratitude.’ – Denis Waitley

Happiness is a spiritual state that arises when we focus on the real and permanent and take our attention away from the fleeting and impermanent. Everything will pass in the world but there is an essence within you that is eternal and will never fade. You may call this your Soul, Higher Self, or God/Goddess within. When you know your divine essence you will live more gracefully in the world. True happiness comes from touching the light within. Then you will never again feel alone in the world. Then you will never again feel unloved.

Just as we create happiness from the inside out we also generate meaningful change from the inside out.

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, [...]]]> I went to see the film Invictus a couple of weeks ago. And I wanted to share the poem that inspired both Nelson Mandela and the film as I think it has a message for all of us.

Invictus

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

William Ernest Henley (1849–1903)

We are all the masters of our own fate, and the captain’s of our own souls. Sometimes it’s good to reflect on this and what it really means…….. and the power that gives you

At first this may feel a little uncomfortable, like you are lying to yourself. Your brain may be telling you this but let these thoughts go straight away!

You are emitting a frequency from what you are thinking of, it’s all about retraining your mind to that of a wealthy mind ~ It really is all about what you think…. This is key!

Ralph Waldo Emerson said “The good news is that the moment you decide that what you know is more important than what you have been taught to believe, you will have shifted gears in your quest for abundance. Success comes from within not from without.

Start to feel good about money affirm the following everyday throughout the day:

“I love money, money loves me.”

This may feel awkward to start with, again as before retrain your mind. When you feel good about money you WILL draw it into your life. Be grateful for the money you have right now (however small) then as the abundance starts to flow give thanks and know there is a lot more on it’s way.

Also think about what the money will mean to you in your life, what you will be able to achieve having this money. Will you travel more? Buy a new house? A nice car? Get creative, visualize having these things in your life.

You are a money magnet!

In very simple terms the way to get what you want using the Law of Attraction is through learning to control your thought process. What you think about the most and focus on [...]]]> You may well have heard about the Law of Attraction, but how does it apply to you and where do you start?

In very simple terms the way to get what you want using the Law of Attraction is through learning to control your thought process. What you think about the most and focus on will be what you attract into your life. So a good starting point is to look at what your predominant thoughts are.

Be aware that negative thoughts produce as much energy as positive thoughts. Thinking about your fears and saying “I don’t want that” is probably going to result in your fears being realized. Cosmic energy is literal. It doesn’t understand “I don’t want”. So if you are constantly worrying about something you don’t want you may well find that it keeps showing up in your life. This is because you are giving it lots of attention.

The Law of Attraction produces results based on energy. So if you’re producing more negative energy than positive, your results are going to be negative.

Training your mind to concentrate on the positive instead of the negative is a necessary, but often difficult process. Many people are naturally worriers. It’s a survival thing designed to help us remember and avoid the dangers of life. But being aware of our fears and letting them control our thoughts are two different things. The key lies in recognising the negative fears and turning them into positive thoughts.Your thoughts can be your faithful servants or your masters, which ever you allow them to be. You are in control, you make your choice and determine which course your thoughts take.

Learning to control your thoughts can be done by learning to identify when fears or negative thoughts come up, and immediately replacing them with an appropriate positive thought.Also repeating positive phrases to yourself. For example “I am fit and healthy” or “I always attract helpful people”.

Repeating these or similar words, and believing them, will make them real. When confronted with fears and doubts, remembering to ‘master” your thoughts keeps the positive energy flowing. Leaving no room for the negative energy to manifest.

When Brian Tracy studied the interviews, speeches, biographies and autobiographies of successful men and women, he found that they all had one quality in common. They were all described as being extremely well-organized. They used their time very, very well. They were highly productive and they got vastly more done in the same period of time than the average person.

How about you? Do you study successful people?
And do you find being organised works? It certainly does for me
