How To Get What You Really Want -


So how can we change our own emotional states? 

Think of your states as operating a lot like a TV set. In order to have "bright, vivid color with incredible sound," you need to plug in and turn on. Turning on your physiology is like giving the set the electricity it needs to operate. If you don't have the juice, you'll have no picture, no sound, just a blank screen. Similarly, if you don't turn on by using your entire body, in other words, your physiology, you may indeed find yourself unable to spell "house".

Have you ever woken up and stumbled around, not able to think clearly or function until you moved around enough to get your blood flowing? Once the "static" has cleared, you're turned on, and the ideas begin to flow. If you're in the wrong state, you're not going to get any reception, even if you've got the right ideas.

Of course, once you're plugged in, you've got to be turned to the right channel to get what you really want. Mentally, you've got to focus on what empowers you. Whatever you focus on - whatever you tune in to- you will feel more intensely. So if you don't like what you're doing, maybe it's time to change the channel. 

There are unlimited sensations, unlimited ways of looking at virtually anything in life. All of the sensations that you want are available all the time, and all you've got to do  is to tune in to the right channel. There are two  primary  ways, then, to change your emotional state: by changing the way you use your physical body, or by changing your focus.

The Magnificent Obsession - Creating A Compelling Future....

GIANT GOALS PRODUCE GIANT MOTIVATION So often, people ask me, "Where do I get my energy? With all that intensity, no wonder you're so successful. I just don't have your drive; I guess  I'm not motivated. I guess I'm lazy." My usual response is, "You're not lazy! You just have impotent goals!" Frequently I get a confused look to this response, at which point I explain that my level of excitement and drive comes from my goals. Every morning when I wake up, even if I feel physically exhausted from a lack of sleep, I'll still find the drive I need because my goals are so exciting to me. They get me up early, keep me up late, and inspire me to marshal my resources and use everything I can possibly find within the sphere of my influence to bring them to fruition. The same energy and sense of mission is available to you now, but it will never be awakened  by puny goals. The first step is to develop bigger, more inspiring, more challenging ...

Maintain your wealth

The only possible way to maintain wealth is to pick a specific percentage of your income that you will invest each year up front. Now, many people know this,we've all heard about the virtues of saving a minimum of 10 percent and investing it. But very few people do it- and interestingly enough, very few people are wealthy. The best way to insure that you'll be able to maintain your wealth is to have 10 percent taken out of your paycheck and invested  before you even see it. To maintain your wealth, you must take control of your spending. But don't develop a budget. develop a spending plan. Truly, if a budget is done effectively, it is a spending plan. It's a means for you - or if you're married, you and your spouse - to decide what you want to spend money on in advance rather than get caught up in the moment. Too often opportunities come up and out of a sense of urgency we make decisions that later  on we regret.  Unfortunately most peopl...

What Do You Want.....

Most of our emotional responses are learned responses to the environment. We've deliberately modeled some of them, and stumbled across others. Simply being aware of these factors is the foundation for understanding the power of state. Without a doubt, everything you and I do, we do to avoid pain or gain pleasure, but we can instantly change what we believe will lead to pain or pleasure by redirecting our focus and changing our mental-emotional -physiological states.  A state can be defined as the sum of millions of neurological processes happening within us- the sum total of our experience at any moment in time. Most of our states happen without any conscious direction on our part. We see something, and we respond to it by going into a state. It may be a resourceful and useful state, or an unresourceful and limiting state, but there's not much that most of us do to control it. Have you ever found yourself unable to remember a friend...
