Mental Moments

Archive for June, 2008

Is it possible to successfully place a bet and win it using the Law of Attraction? I’ve proved it possible.

Within each and every one of us is something called an Emotional Guidance System. You may know it with a different name (gut instincts for example), but simply put the emotions that you feel, are always a perfect match to what you are currently attracting.

If you feel good, you’re attracting good things into your life.

If you feel bad, or neutral, then you’re attracting unwanted things into your life.

Your emotions are always a perfect reflection of what’s coming.

By asking yourself the question “how will I feel about this?”, you will always get a perfectly aligned response from your emotional guidance system.

Your emotions are your best method of making accurate decisions. Your logical mind can only make decisions upon what it already knows. All of your thoughts are created from past experiences and so your logical mind is working within your limited belief system.

If you start removing your attention from the logical mind and stop using your mind to make the decisions, then by relying on your emotions, you will very quickly begin to see that your emotions are always a perfect match to what you’re attracting.

How does all of this fit in with betting on events?

I’m an avid football (soccer) fan and I always enjoy watching my team play on television. I’ve started practicing using my emotions to determine how the game will end up, before the game has even kicked off.

Because I watch my team play, I am emotionally attached to the game. This helps me greatly in my decision making. Before the game begins I will ask myself…

“How do I feel about this game?”

If I get a distinct feeling of “positiveness” then the game will be a success and will win.
If I feel pretty bad about the game then it will either be a draw or a loss.
If I feel nothing and am completely neutral, then I don’t make a decision.

As I was practicing this in a recent match I was watching, I noticed a horrible feeling within me. It felt horrible and was definitely unwanted. So, I knew straight away that my team was going to lose or draw.

In the opening 10 minutes, we scored a goal and were 1-0 up. My logical mind started to kick in… “your emotions are a load of rubbish!” … “they can’t predict the outcome!”.

By half-time it was 1-1. Second half started and the opposing team took the lead and made it 2-1. The end result was a draw, 2-2.

It was an uncomfortable game and didn’t bring me any joy. I knew before the game started that it wouldn’t. I’m not big on betting, but it is entirely possible to bet using your feelings as a judgment call.

When you remove the logical mind and really listen to what you’re feeling, you will always have access to the most accurate answer, since your feelings are an indication of what you’re moving towards. If they feel good, good things are coming. If they feel bad, bad things are coming.

Simple.

Those who aren’t involved in self-development might look at this title and shrug the book off as just another get-rich-quick fairy tale. However, Hark Eker’s Secrets of the Millionaire Mind is not only based on the author’s actual experiences, it delivers an exceedingly realistic formula for personal wealth creation.

The premise of the book is to explore the thinking habits of wealthy and successful people, and to compare this with the mindset and thinking of the poor. Eker risks offending the ultra sensitive and those who wish to play the victim through his merciless examination of how certain mental habits are keeping millions of people poor.

Secrets of the Millionaire Mind raises important questions about how people really think and feel about money and success. The book, using a series of “wealth files” uncovers numerous self-defeating thought processes, many of which are commonplace and probably considered harmless by the masses.

The wealth file concept is simple: Eker suggests that in order to think like the rich you must store the right thoughts, i.e. files, in your mind. In each of the wealth files illustrated in the book Eker contrasts the common “poor” way of thinking or feeling about a particular situation against the more correct, or “rich” way of looking at things.

Secrets of the Millionaire Mind is packed with powerful insights to help you eliminate negative thinking about money and wealth and optimize your thoughts for massive success. The underlying premise is that wealth is about much more than just money.

Harv Eker addresses the issue of proper focus and the spiritual side of money in a way that even skeptics can agree with. In fact even if you aren’t, for some reason, interested in beign wealthy this book is a great tool for self-improvement.

And in addition to focusing on the mental game, or the inner game as the book’s subtitle illustrates, Eker delivers a number of practical, hands-on tips that can be readily applied by the reader. Thus the book is far more than just a mindset lesson and actually gets into the nuts and bolts of money management and wealth building.

He advocates action and laughs out loud at books and teachers who suggest we can simply visualize our way to success. However, as Eker points out, the way we think and feel is by far the most important element within our success strategy.

For those who are still put off by the title I can point out that Harv Eker is a multi-millionaire many times over. And as his book does relay many of his personal, mental strategies for success Secrets of the Millionaire Mind does appear to be a relevant name for the work.

Overall the book is a superb read. It’s a must for entrepreneurs and certainly very helpful for employees who have concerns regarding their future prosperity.

This title is available in hardcover, paperback, and audio. The audio book is particularly enjoyable as it is read by the author, who is a very animated speaker.

Just like gravity has just one job, the Law of Attraction also has one job too. Its job is to match like energy with like energy.

If you feel miserable and depressed, don’t be surprised that you experience more unwanted people, places and circumstances. Through the Law of Attraction, you will attract more of it by what you give your attention to.

If you feel good on the other hand, you will be attracting more circumstances that will please you because that is what you’re aligned with.

The art of becoming a deliberate creator is to practice feeling good as much of the time as is possible so that you will attract what you want and effectively become the deliberate designer of your life.

Selfishly choosing to feel good over bad thoughts is exactly the way to go about this. If you do not choose good feeling thoughts, you will attract the unwanted opposite.

If you’re not selfish enough to feel good, then you will never attract the perfect life you desire. Most of us are conditioned into thinking that being selfish is a bad thing. Hoarding money and not sharing food for example would be one example of how being selfish could be seen as selfish behaviour.

Being so selfish that you do not let anyone else’s negativity into your life should not be seen as an unwanted behaviour at all. If you don’t have this level of selfishness then you will be giving away your power and relinquishing control. You will not become the deliberate creator of your experience.

Being so picky, so choosey and so selfish about how you feel will undoubtedly bring you more joy, more abundance and more fun into your life.

When someone who is stuck in a negative thinking cycle speaks to you and tells you their woes, there is sometimes a desire to discuss it with them. You may feel like you can help this person if you sink down to where they’re at and try to talk them out of it.

Unfortunately this effort can be very futile and can end up with you lowering your vibration and your feelings so that you too will attract unwanted circumstances. Is this any way to help someone? In my opinion, it is not.

If you truly desire to help someone get out of a negative pattern, then become the example and show them through your own participation in life what is possible. They’ll quickly realize that what they’re doing isn’t productive for anyone and the more they observe your fun-filled life, the more they will want it for themselves.

The more they want it… the more desire is being born within them. The more desire that is born within… the more response from the universe.

Don’t drop your vibration for anyone. Be so selfish that you will do anything to feel good as much of the time as possible. Help yourself first so that you can help others, if that is your desire.

And if that isn’t your desire, then ensure you achieve a high vibration as much of the time as possible so that you live the life you truly desire and deserve to have.

It really does make a difference how we talk -– to ourselves and to others. Words can alter the way we feel, the way others feel about us, and what we represent in business, in marketing, in sales, as well as our own personal lives. Using the right words is absolutely vital if you want to love and grow rich!

I have trademarked a term you’ve probably never heard before -– VocabuLOVE™! It’s a word I invented that has to do with the language that taps into the power of love. I developed the term to help people understand the tremendous power words possess.

Take the Tasaday Tribe in the Philippines for example. They really are pretty unremarkable except for one small characteristic. They literally don’t have words in their language for “hate” or “war.” Now, the most peculiar aspect of this, some would say, is that they actually treat each other without hate, they don’t fight and they’ve never gone to war! It illustrates the fact that we -– as human beings -– may be incapable of feeling some specific emotions if we have no words to describe them.

So how do you apply this to your own life? Stop using the words that lead you away from the way you want to feel. That alone will have a huge impact on you and on those you associate with. VocabuLOVE! is amazing in that it can significantly affect the way you feel. The first step is to recognize which words you need to change. Then you’ll be able to do something about it and enjoy much greater success as a result.

A core concept in VocabuLOVE! is that you don’t speak negatively about anybody or anything. Very early on, my dad and mom taught me and my siblings to always look for the good in others, and it has made a huge difference in my life.

In today’s world there’s so much negativity. You can’t turn on the news or read a newspaper or magazine without someone saying negative things about someone else. Of course, sometimes it’s necessary to point out things that can and should be improved, but it needs to be done with an attitude of “constructive criticism,” and an attitude of “I love you, and so I want to help you become even better.” My wife is good at that. “Tim, I love you, and here’s something you’re doing that you need to improve upon.” That makes all the difference in the world.

VocabuLOVE! is an excellent technique to really discover how many negative things we say in a day. It’s also a useful tool to learn how often we find fault with others. By using VocabuLOVE! you’ll understand how negative conversations take you far from where you should be in your thoughts and actions.

Focus on and speak about why you love your career, why you love what you represent, why you love your co-workers and clients, and why you love your spouse and family. It totally changes the way you feel about everything and everyone and helps lead you to “loving and growing rich.”

Attracting financial abundance, can you?

Have you ever wondered why that some people can seem to attract money easily, yet others have to go through hell and back to just get by in life?

It makes you think is it just luck? Or is there a vital difference between the two types of people, the financially poor and the rich?

Ever wondered why only 10% of the population earn 90% of the money in the world? Seems crazy doesn’t it?

Well, more and more research is being undertaken on how our thoughts, beliefs and attitudes affect how we attract money into our lives. Some may call it the Law of Attraction. I know it sounds absurd, so stay with me for a moment, so we can take a closer look, there seems to be a science of focus being unearthed.

Okay here it is, are you ready?

Whatever you believe and focus upon with consistency day in and day out, you begin to project and attract into your reality. You may call it the power of your intention or maybe what people call the law of attraction.

Whatever you want to call it, i think we should dig a little deeper shall we?

If we have beliefs like “I don’t deserve to have money” or “Getting money means hard work” for a long period of time, it ultimately becomes imprinted into us at an unconscious level, and that belief becomes reality. In the same way we now can walk, drive a car or do daily habits as if second nature. And with limiting thoughts, beliefs and emotions to become second nature is just something which has become unconscious.

Our Unconscious beliefs and values which are negative towards money like this will hold back the attraction of money and wealth into our life, as we are not congruent or aligned in becoming wealthy. When were we ever taught to ‘think wealthy’? We were just told to get a trade and get security.

However, what would happen if we had beliefs which were statement like:

“Getting money means more time to enjoy life” “I attract an abundance of money and wealth into my life” “I am good enough”

By having these beliefs it will mean your unconscious mind can start working for you, rather than against you. It can attract and project those situations and opportunities in your life. So what you think about, you bring about.

I have personally installed powerful beliefs into my life and continue to do so, that allows me to trust my intuition, develop stronger mind sets, resources and commitment toward my own ultimate well being and financial freedom.

Since i learnt Hypnosis all those years ago and with my own self help techniques work directly with the unconscious mind to resolve such money issues, we can tap into our unconscious to develop new powerful mind sets and attitudes toward money and success itself.

Being free of limiting beliefs and negative associations towards money, means we can develop positive thoughts, beliefs and feelings to attract Money.

Here’s my top tips to earning the money that you deserve.

• Know your outcome. (Not what you don’t want – like ‘I don’t want to be in debt!’) How much do you want and by when. i.e. £20,000 savings by Day/Month/Year. Make it achievable, but not too far in the future.

• Visualize the amount you wish as if you had it right now in your life. Imagine what you would be seeing with all that money, what you would be hearing, and what would you be feeling. Do this before you sleep and wake up for 15mins a day. Visualize it as if you had it right now.

• Brain Storm – Start thinking of new ways of increasing your income. But hey, don’t push it, take 10 minutes a day and just doodle ideas if need be, think of it as fun and your creativity time.

• Believe it will happen, have that un-wavering faith and trust.

• Take action – look out for and act out on opportunities. The more you act the more you achieve.

• The hard part – receiving it! and put it to good use here’s how it works, invest 10%, give 10% away and save 10%.

I wonder when will you choose financial freedom?

Let me know how you get on, will you?
