Big change – new opportunities!

There’s SO much change going on right now. I mean the global financial thing is affecting so many people’s mindset – and I personally have chosen to entirely step back from that. I truly believe we become what we think about so … think about being calm, you will be; think about getting more balance in your life, that’ll occur; think about running a dream business, watch it develop; think about grace, success, service and a raising of global consciousness, oh yeah, it’s all coming! There is no more effective way to bring about your dreams than to totally engulf your thinking in them. Is it easy? Well, about as easy as it is to commit to training your body everyday to get beautifully-crafted legs, bums and tums (an we all know what a discipline that is!). But with practice it gets easier and one day you will just ‘be’ the person you held that intention to be.
There ARE ways to train yourself to raise your awareness and increase your positive thinking. Here’s my Top 5 Stragegies:
* Get conscious about who you spend your time around: doom and gloom merchants will bring you down. Invest time with people you know who have traits you’d like to develop.
* Be very selective about what goes into your mind: I choose now not to read a news paper, I don’t listen to news on the radio or watch it on TV. These are highly sophisticted communication mediums and you are not in control of the mindset they come from. Instead how about studying some great books about success principles and mindset, reading uplifting biographies, watching an inspiring movie and listening to empowering music.
* Design some affirmations: write 3-5 positive statements that you want to be true for you. Like: ” I am an intuitive parent and my children are amazing human beings!”; “My work is of service to millions of people and I thrive when they thrive”; ” I have infinite choice and abundant opportunities – I trust my intuition to guide me to my purpose and success”. Write whatever is true for your dream and your vision
* Use only positive language: Practice saying uplifting, gracious, encouraging words to yourself and to others. I remember what my granny used to say: “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all”. And that’s more true in these complicated times than ever. People need us to be light, life and love – so give out what you want to get back.
* Practice: Training your mind to serve you to its highest ability is a massive skill set. You wouldn’t learn to swim, play chess, or be in a relationship in a day, so you’ll have to be patient with this vision too. A wise man once said, “Persistence is the twin sister of excellence. One is a matter of quality; the other, a matter of time.”. Be patient with your progress and remember that this is YOUR journey, so don’t fall into the trap of comparing your progress with those around you.
As I write this I’m really reminding my self of these lessons. You see the changes I’m making in my life just now are BIG. I’ve letting go of my first business (which has successfully provided for me and my daughter for nearly 7 years) and I’m going to focus full-time in Successful Single Parenting (woohoo!). Supporting, sharing knowledge, uplifting, equipping, encouraging and empowering every single parent mum and non-resident dad that’s out there. Anyone parenting in an extended family who wants to do it better, smarter, wiser, more calmly, lovingly and peacefully. This is my calling, my vision, my change, my opportunity.
Stay amazing!
