Overhauling Your Beliefs

Are you living the life you want to live? That was my question last week and if your answer was no, I told you that it was time for a major overhaul of your believe system. Now, I would like to share with you how can you make a huge overhaul of your believe system. You truly have created your personal reality with your beliefs and expectations. But the good news is this: Since you are the creative source, you also have the power to re-create your personal reality. How? By making conscious changes and adjustments in your personal beliefs and expectations.

Here are some insights to help you polish up your reality creating a tactic:

First tactic: There is literally no one else like you. You are not "ordinary." You are totally MATCHLESS. No one else has your ideas, thinks like you or does things the way you do. No body has your same set of talents and abilities. Your brain is as unique as your fingerprints. So stand up and carry yourself with dignity because this is your life. Just be your original, unique self.

Second  tactic: In this life you either react or respond to situations. There is a huge difference between reacting and responding. Reacting is an automatic Knee-bump to life. Responding involves making a conscious choice. You can make the choice to React or you can choose to consciously Respond to what's happening to or around you. So Learn to RESPOND - not just to react.

Third tactic: Choose your own thoughts.The greatest power you have is the power to choose your own thoughts. The late Earl Nightingale said, "You become what you think." The truth of this is so powerful it is almost overwhelming. You and you alone decide what you will think and what you believe your limits and potentials are. And you alone decide what to do with this awesome power.

Fourth tactic: Stamp out your ANTs (Automatic Negative Thoughts). Do you remember we talked about this last week? Now, how do you do that, stamp out your ANTs? 

1. You have to identify the ANTs. You cannot ignore them, you have to confront them, otherwise they will not go away.
2. Select a positive statement that is the exact opposite. Let me give you one example. You may have the following Automatic Negative Thought:  you have negative feeling of failure, you may say, "I am fearless and untouched by failure." Always use the present tense (I am), because that's the message you want to cement in your subconscious mind. This is very powerful.
3. Do this exercise in private, facing a mirror. Look right into your own eyes, and repeat that statement while you continue to look straight into your own eyes, add strong emotion to it till you get your brain's attention.
