58 Years Today

58 years on this earth this morning. It’s been a ride. I have an unwavering belief that every phase of this journey has meaning and a possibility of its own. As I continue to walk this path of life, I will keep my eyes and my mind open to every blessing and lesson.

Your Thoughts, Your Choice

When you hear the negative chatter entering your mind, try repeating these affirmations a few times meditatively to yourself.

  • I choose the thoughts I allow to expand in my consciousness.
  • I choose thoughts that serve me over thoughts that disempower me.
  • In this moment, I remember to put my mind on my side.
  • I am called thinking that raises my vibration.

Stay awesome, my friends!

The Power of Suspending Disbelief

Good morning, my friends. I hope your week is off to a great start!

When you’re standing at the bottom of the proverbial mountain you’re about to climb, the whole thing can seem overwhelming.

You want to change careers, but you know nothing about your target career other than you have a passion for it. You have an idea for a business, but who would see you as an expert? You want to reach that healthy weight, but you have tried so many times before, what will be different this time?

You see the problem. Everyone says, “just believe,” and you want to but… That inability to completely believe will stop you from starting or quickly sabotage you unless can find a way to instantly believe or come up with a different way.

Here’s another strategy. Rather than trying to go from utter doubt to complete belief in one step, try suspending your disbelief instead. Acknowledge the doubt. Acknowledge that you’re not in full belief. Simply be willing to leave the question open.

Poet and philosopher William Coleridge coined the phrase “suspension of disbelief” to describe a state of mind in which readers willingly ignore obvious untruths and fantastic elements in literature in order to allow themselves to enjoy the story.

See your journey as your story. Be willing to ignore the gap between where you are and where you want to be. Focus on the next step in the story and be willing to go on that journey because the outcome is worth it and so are you.

The key to this strategy is literally take it one day at a time and focus on what is possible rather than absolute belief. Anything is always possible. Live in that possibility.

Affirm

Just for today, I am willing to set aside my doubts and take action as if my goal is possible.

As you take steps of possibility, your confidence will grow and belief will come because you’ll have the proof of a hundred steps in the right direction.

Not fully believing is OK and not a requirement to begin. Just hold your disbelief as accountable as you hold your belief. Suspend it long enough for belief to take root.

Wherever you are on your journey today, know you’re amazing and remember to put your mind in your side.

8 Hour Success Affirmations

Are you working hard to believe in your potential for #success? Or maybe you’re trying to kick your success mindset to the next level?

Affirmations combined with repetition are a powerful way to reprogram your mind in your favor.

This eight hour recording, set to light meditative music, repeats a series of powerful success #affirmations in both the first and second person. Each cycle ends with the phrase, “I am unstoppable!”

The purpose of a long recording like this is to saturate your subconscious mind with new thoughts that serve you. This recording is best used one of two ways.

  1. Sleep with it playing in the background. During sleep, your subconscious mind is wide open to suggestion without the resistance of the conscious mind.
  2. Play it in the background as you work or go through your day. This passive listening serves the same purpose by knowing your subconscious mind to absorb these success ideas without interference from the conscious mind.

For best results, listen regularly for a few weeks and then periodically for maintenance after that.

Here’s to your success and I’d love to hear how you do with this.
