The Process Of Goal Definition By John Tebar

John Tebar

One of major factors that become a stumbling block is we generally forget what the goal is. We already posses the ability to be, do and have anything we want. How do I know this? Well it is very simple. When we want to achieve a goal, we always strive to get it. There are few parameters that surround goal achievement that does not vary, no matter what you do.


You can achieve any goal that you want. I will give you the example of getting a drivers’ license. Remember when you were young and you just turned of age to get a drivers’ license? One of the things that happened was you got excited. You set the goal to get the license, not for the sake of having one, but for what it represented to you at the time.


Right before I even started my driving lessons, I was excited I could see and feel myself in possession of that license. Now, what was happening was that the license represented freedom, liberty to travel beyond a limited area, also to go where I want to go at any time. Wait you say, you don’t have a car and you have not even started your lessons yet. This is correct reality, my circumstances, resources were not even there. Yet I pushed to get that drivers’ license.


The goal was not to learn how to drive; the goal was to have in my possession the drivers’ license. Why did I want that drivers’ license? It is how it may me feel, pure and simple. Did I have to learn to drive? Of course, I had to go through the process or better yet through certain steps to get to the goal. The goal was the drivers’ license, the steps were to pass the written test, get the driving lessons, take the driving test and with a pass on all of these, then obtain the official license.


What was the process? It was these steps:


1) Know what you want


2) Get excited about it


3) Know, why you want it


4) Set your mind to it


5) Get on with the work


Here is your bonus this process is already in you. You own it and you can make it work for anything that you want. This is where it gets tricky, today you might want a fit body; tomorrow you want to be a daredevil, the next day you want to run for a government office. That is why we don’t get to our goals or anywhere close.


This does not require any circumstance or resource, you simply focus on what you want and fix your mind to it. You keep yourself excited and remind yourself about what achieving this goal represents to you. The more clarity the more steps you will achieve or go through at a faster pace.


This is why your vision of where you want to arrive is so important. The more clarity the more the desire, the more the desire the more order and movement results in that given direction. Remember that we can not outperform our self image; we can only change how we think about ourselves.


That power to achieve anything we want is already in our possession, we were born with it, we just have to learn how to use it effectively and that is my message.

5 Benefits Of Slowing Down: Tales Of A Pregnant Pause By Amber Rosenberg

Amber Rosenberg

For the majority of my life, learning how to slow down has been very much a work-in-progress. Several years ago, I was completely unfamiliar with the concept, however, due to various life circumstances, I've had regular opportunities to re-examine my pace in life and to make choices as to what would work best moving forward.


This last year or so, I chose to exercise really hard, to work even harder, and to fill my weekends with social engagements. Then, three months ago, I found out I was pregnant and everything started to change - again.


As a goal-oriented woman who prides herself in knowing what she wants and making it happen, I felt extremely grateful to be pregnant - especially since this is not a guarantee in life. I was very excited for about a week - I called immediate family to share the news and was unable to contain myself when I saw friends in person. I thought I had it all figured out. Think again.


I quickly started to experience severe pain that left me on the couch for two weeks. I was diagnosed with three different pregnancy-related conditions that not only caused pain but left me completely exhausted - much more than the normal first-trimester fatigue (not to mention the all-day bouts of nausea).


I realized that my body was providing me with my next opportunity to learn how to slow down and I had to make some choices - quickly. I decided to greatly minimize my work commitments and to give up my intense hour-long daily exercise routine (it was just too painful). I also scaled down my social calendar, selecting fewer and more easy-going activities.


To say that all of this has been a challenge and a learning experience would be an understatement. Here are a few lessons I've learned, in hope that you can apply whatever you find helpful to your own life.


Sometimes a packed schedule can give you the feeling that you're accomplishing a lot, really successful and in high-demand. While all this action and busyness may make you feel important, it's still possible to feel successful without killing yourself. It's less about quantity and more about quality; less about ego and more about substance. Also, if you don't learn how to slow down on your own, your body may take matters into its own hands. Last, slowing down is a body/mind/soul/heart experience. You can't just say you're going to slow down and make it happen. All of you has to be on board (or forced to be on board) or it won't work.


5 Benefits of Slowing Down:


1) You experience the present more fully and are able to be here now without worrying about what's next.


2) The days and weeks feel longer and you gain a truer understanding of the value of time.


3) You're better able to notice the people, the moments or the situations that give you the most energy and fulfillment and to prioritize these moving forward. When you choose to spend time with people, you're better able to connect with them and on a deeper level.


4) You're able to get back in touch with your creative, strategic side that allows you to think big and create a vision.


5) You remember what you're grateful for because you have time to think about it.


As you think about how slowing down may serve you, ask yourself a few questions. What's the easiest thing you can do this week to slow down? What's the benefit? What's the cost? What are you learning about yourself? What will you do differently moving forward?


You may find that learning how to slow down is a wonderful gift you can give yourself, your loved ones, and your career. Or you may discover that you're at a point in your life where slowing down simply doesn't serve you. The important thing is to do some honest, careful thinking about what works best for you right now and to know that you always have a choice moving forward. You're worth it.

The Art of Processing Emotions By Bart Sharp

Bart Sharp

Many of us spend hours regularly processing emotions that we experience in our lives. It is in the belief that if we come to a place of resolve with them that we would be happier and/or be more present in our lives. Processing emotions is a skill that many have difficulty doing especially if they were not taught as children to identify what they were feeling. Millions have difficulty processing their emotions so if you perceive that you fit in this category do not feel alone.


Processing emotions is both an intellectual skill as well as a body experience. We may be able to express the emotion, recall the memory related to the feeling but have no real connection to it in our body. Which may make us feel disconnected to the experience itself as well as our own body.


Being able to perceive emotions includes feeling the whole experience in our physical body. It is feeling where our body feels uncomfortable when we are upset and all of our bodily reactions included. When we do this we teach ourselves to be more present in our body. The more we live with this kind of awareness anger does feel more intense but so does joy and happiness. We begin the process of leaving the life of muddled emotions where we feel little and remain in a mundane expression of our feelings to a fuller range of ourselves.


One of the keys to breaking out of the mundane life is learning to feel the emotions of our past. What we have suppressed emotionally is often one of the blocks that are holding us back from feeling ourselves. If we can tap into those energetic memories on a body level we can begin the process of releasing them for good. Our cognitive recall of these experiences only gives us the information from our mind we have to address what our body has stored away for them to really go.


What I have discovered is that so much of our daily anxieties, worries, angers, etc always have a source from our past. So when I experience the emotion I stop, sit down and feel it. The first step is to locate where you feel the distress in your body. If you cannot identify it in your body ask the consciousness of your body to turn up so that you can feel it. Or just ask your body, “Where is the sensation of this emotion located?”


Our bodies can do this. They are complex sensory organs that can give us massive amounts of information if we ask. It is important to know that the body wants us to uncover this stuff because it will be so much easier on it not carrying these stuffed emotions.


When we are able to identify the location of the sensation of the emotion sit and be present with it. Place your awareness to perceive the full intensity of the experience of it. Observe only, if we judge it we re-traumatize us to the experience, for example do not go into how bad it was. Even if a memory comes up just be present with it.


Once you perceive that you are in touch with the full energetic memory of the experience ask your body, “Is there a deeper source to where this emotion originated from?” Observe if another sensation shows up in your body, it may be in another location or even underneath where you have been working. Begin the process again of perceiving the full intensity of the energetic memory. Your presence with it will be the catalyst for its release.


When we release these experiences we will begin to feel a lightness in our body. It feels like energetic rocks are removed out of us giving way for a greater body awareness to begin that generally is perceived as feeling lighter. It is a part of the process of knowing yourself wholly.


As I go deeper in this process I find that sometimes I do need to cry to assist in grieving or hit or scream into pillows to release my rage more completely. When I do this I remain focused on the intensity of the energy in my body, I do not put my attention on the person that I am mad at such as imagining their face on the pillow. This is about identifying and releasing your own rage not projecting it out to someone. An important distinction.


What I have found is by using the tools of Access Energy Transformation I am able to release these repressed emotions more effectively. Access releases thoughts, beliefs and emotions on a cellular level. When it is used directly with the identification of the energetic emotional experience the release is very dynamic and permanent. I have seen my life change and witness huge transformational shifts in others by using these awesome tools.


When we begin to live in a place was we are not influenced by our repressed emotions we begin to live with a fuller presence in ourselves. We are no longer triggered by our past in our daily interactions. It is a wonderful freedom. We experience anger, sadness and happiness fuller from a more realistic perception.

7 Steps to Applying Law of Attraction by Visualizing By Adrian Abel

Adrian Abel

One of the ways to apply the law of attraction in your life is to visualize your desires. This was discussed in the movie, The Secret but the technique of how to visualize was not mentioned.


Here are the 7 steps to visualize so you can apply the law of attraction.


Step 1 - Decide what you want to visualize


Whenever you start to visualize, you should always have a goal or goals of what you want to attract. Say for example, during your lunch break, you want to visualize about 2 things: Enjoying a good night out with your family tonight and also doing a spectacular job with the project you're currently working on. Then concentrate on visualizing these two goals.


Step 2 - Find a quiet place


Find a quiet place where you will have no distractions from anyone. A lot of the times, I will choose places like the bed, before and when I wake up, or my home study room where I know I won't be disturbed.


Step 3 - Clear your mind


Before you visualize you should first clear your mind of whatever distractions you have. If you are worried about a report or a meeting, sit down, relax and stop thinking about these distractions. You don't want these problems to enter your mind when you're applying the law of attraction.


Step 4 - Close your eyes and start imagining


Close your eyes so that you are very relaxed and start thinking about your desires. Imagine yourself how you are behaving at the end result of your desire. If you are desiring a car, think about driving the car and the places you are going to. Go to the extent of imagining the smell of the leather seats.


Step 5 - Feel the Visualization


The most important part is to feel the visualization. Notice how you are reacting when you are living out your desire. Notice how happy you are when driving your new car. The feeling of the steering wheel, the smell of the petrol, the music coming out of the CD system. It is these feelings that are making you give off good vibrations to the universe.


Step 6 - Open your eyes


Then come out of the visualization. If you have been visualizing properly, you will feel as though what happened was real. This is the feeling you want. Every time you visualize try to get this feeling at the end.


Step 7 - Continue


When you are up and about during work or at home, continue to act as though you are living your desire. Act as though you already own the new car, already got promoted, already going on holiday with your family.


By following these 7 steps, you have truly mastered visualization and know how to apply the law of attraction effectively using visualization. There are more techniques to the law of attraction of course, and you should continue to read more on this topic such as the reasons why law of attraction doesn't work.
