There’s a great line from the poet Anaïs Nin that reads: “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
The subconscious mind believes everything because it has no filter, it doesn’t know the difference between what’s true and what’s not true.
And that when our subconscious beliefs are out of alignment with the things and experiences we want in our conscious minds (and hearts), it creates confusing conflicts between what we’re trying to create and what we’re actually creating.
The first key to ridding yourself of limiting subconscious beliefs is to become aware of them.
If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration. —Nikola Tesla; inventor, physicist,
Focus on that which makes you feel good and ye shall find (attract) that which makes you feel good.
Which is why when you’re vibrating at a high frequency, awesome things seem to flow to you effortlessly and you seem to stumble over the perfect people and opportunities all the time
As Albert Einstein observed, “Coincidence is God’s way of remaining anonymous.”
In order to truly raise your vibration, you’ve got to believe that everything you want is available to you.
If you are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present.
Animals are in the present all the time, and their secret power is to pull us in with them. My friend’s dog is so happy to see her every single time she walks in the door it’s like she’s about to free him from forty years of imprisonment. Even if she’s only been gone for an hour. You’re here. I’m here. I love you. I’m gonna pee all over the floor about it.
Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.
one of the first things you might have to deal with when you decide to wake up from the Big Snooze and make massive positive changes in your life is disapproval from other people who are snoring away.
The Big Snooze will do everything it can to stop you from changing and growing, especially since you’re attempting to obliterate the very identity that you and everyone else has come to know as “you.”
Self-perception is a zoo.
get yourself to see how amazing you are is like pushing a giant marshmallow up a hill.
try seeing yourself through the eyes of someone who admires you.
You get to choose how you perceive your reality.
When we’re happy and all in love with ourselves, we can’t be bothered with the bullshit (our own or other people’s).
Imagine what our world would be like if everyone loved themselves so much that they weren’t threatened by other people’s opinions or skin colors or sexual preferences or talents or education or possessions or lack of possessions or religious beliefs or customs or their general tendency to just be whoever the hell they are.
What you tell yourself on a daily basis is more powerful than you know.
Receive compliments gracefully instead of countering with a disclaimer
Take care of your body, too.
Say nice things about your body, dress it up, and take it out. Give it hot sex, luxurious baths, and massages. Move it, stretch it, nourish it, hydrate it, pay attention to it—The better our bodies feel, the happier and more productive we are.
Avoid comparison like the plague.
You aren’t a better person for feeling guilty or bad about yourself, just a sadder one.
DO NOT WASTE YOUR PRECIOUS TIME GIVING ONE SINGLE CRAP ABOUT WHAT ANYBODY ELSE THINKS OF YOU.
Other people’s opinions motivate every move we make in our teens and our twenties.
Nobody who ever accomplished anything big or new or worth raising a celebratory fist in the air did it from their comfort zone.
You are responsible for what you say and do. You are not responsible for whether or not people freak out about it.
1. ASK YOURSELF WHY
2. ALWAYS DO YOUR BEST
3. TRUST YOUR INTUITION
4. FIND A TEMPORARY ROLE MODEL
5. LOVE YOURSELF
Get out of your head and take action.
Put yourself out there and you never know what you might learn that will inform your next move, or whom you might meet that will present you with your next opportunity.
Follow what feels good in the moment, every moment, and it will lead you through a most excellent life.
Meditation, otherwise known as sitting still and thinking about nothing, is one of those things that can be just as stupidly simple as it is surprisingly hard.
While I truly believe that we, as a species, are becoming more and more conscious, I’m amazed by how, at the same time, our attention spans are rapidly shrinking.
As British philosophical writer and self-help pioneer, James Allen, states in the quote that opens this chapter, “Mind is the master power that moulds and makes, -and Man is Mind. . . .”—we are the very thinking substance that was used to create us. Hello?! How major is that?!
The ones who kick ass are the ones who can see themselves kicking ass, who truly believe in themselves and what they’re selling,
The moment you have the audacity to start believing in the not-yet seen, your reality will begin to shift.
When you take the leap and believe in the not-yet seen, you aren’t supposed to know how to make it happen, because if you knew how, you probably would have done it already. This is about radically changing your reality, so the way to go about it is also most likely outside of your present awareness.
Your job isn’t to know the how, it’s to know the what and to be open to discovering, and receiving, the how.
As Albert Einstein so aptly noted, “The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.”
Get quiet, get in The Zone, and get in touch with Source Energy.
If you want something badly, even if you don’t have any evidence that it’s possible for you to attain, believe it is anyway. Fake it until you make it. Do it in spite of yourself. Act as if.
Tell yourself it’s happening. Act like it’s happening. Put yourself in situations where you will meet people who can make this happen. Stay wide open to opportunities that can lead you to your goal. Live, eat, sleep, and breathe your vision.
4. MAKE A VISION BOARD
