Building Success Habits

Ever wondered why some days everything seems to click, and others you can’t get out of a rut? This episode dives deep into the energy of business and how your personal vibration shapes your success.

So, why does this matter? Donna Kunde and Londina Cruz break down the real impact of your emotions and energy—not just your thoughts—on how you attract opportunities, resources, and even the financial success you want. They’ll share authentic stories and practical exercises for tuning into your vibration, so you can attract more of what you want into your business and life.

What you need to know

• Your vibration is the emotional frequency you send out—and it directly shapes your results.
• It’s not just wishful thinking. Feeling truly abundant and resourced inside magnetizes those experiences outside.
• You can’t feel happy and sad at the same time. Your emotional state matters more than the words or thoughts you repeat.
• Raising your vibration is about paying close attention to how you feel, finding evidence of abundance, and intentionally shifting your state.
• Simple rituals like gratitude lists, listening to uplifting music, taking a walk in nature, or using affirmations can create real shifts.

What you need to do

• Start each day by paying attention to your emotions and energy. If you’re feeling low, experiment with gratitude or music that lifts your spirits.
• Don’t just think about what you want—do something that helps you feel it, like sitting in your dream car or walking through your ideal home.
• Try Londina’s mirror routine: tell yourself you love and accept yourself as you are, using affirmations to shift your energy.
• If you encounter negative emotions, consciously choose a different thought or activity to raise your vibration.

Everything in your business—and life—is in constant motion, whether you realize it or not. If you’ve ever wondered why some days flow and others seem stuck, this episode will change the way you see energy, emotion, and even your own thoughts.

We often hear about the law of attraction, but what sits underneath it, quietly shaping outcomes, is the law of vibration. Donna and Londina unpack this universal law in practical terms, showing how energy is always moving and how your personal frequency influences what and who you attract.

What You Need to Know

• The law of vibration states that everything moves—nothing is truly at rest. Your body, mind, thoughts, and emotions are all in motion, each carrying their own vibration.
• Attraction is a secondary law. What you attract is a reflection of the energy and vibration you send out into the world.
• Your thoughts and emotions are not passive—they shape your vibration, which determines the experiences that come your way.
• The tuning fork analogy: Just as two tuning forks of the same frequency resonate together, people and experiences on similar frequencies are drawn to one another.
• You have the power to shift your emotions and thoughts, altering your vibration and, in turn, changing your results.

What You Need to Do

• Start paying attention to the thoughts and emotions you experience most often. Are you choosing thoughts that create the kind of energy you want in your life?
• Practice noticing when negative feelings or thoughts arise. Instead of running on autopilot, consciously decide where to focus your mental and emotional energy.
• Use simple physical cues, like your body’s sensations or breathing, to catch yourself and reset when you feel stuck or down.
• Remember: You are the only one who can decide what kind of energy you bring to each day—and to your business.

Everything around you—your desk, your thoughts, even the emotions you feel—is vibrating. The law of vibration isn’t just some abstract theory. It’s real, it’s tangible, and it’s influencing your business and personal success at this very moment.

If you want to get more in sync with your goals, you need to start paying attention to the energy you put out and receive. In this episode, Donna Kunde and Londina Cruz break down why tuning in to your own frequency could be the secret ingredient to moving forward in your business and life.

What You Need to Know

• The law of vibration states that everything in the universe is in constant motion, including your thoughts and feelings.
• When you align the frequency of your energy with your goals or desires, you attract the results you want. This is what Napoleon Hill referred to as “burning desire” in Think and Grow Rich.
• Your emotions are energy in motion—different feelings and moods align with different frequencies, just like notes on a musical scale.
• Physical objects may seem solid, but they too are made up of tiny particles vibrating at certain frequencies. This means you’re never really separate from the world around you.

What You Need to Do

• Notice your emotions and energy. Are you operating at a low or high frequency right now? Pay attention to how your thoughts affect how you feel.
• If you’re feeling stuck or unmotivated, shift your energy. Walk outside, put on music, touch nature—anything that breaks up low-vibe patterns and gets you moving.
• Cultivate thoughts and emotions that resonate with the results you want. High-performance mindsets and positive feelings create an upward spiral into higher frequencies.
• Stay aware of the energetic “vibe” in your workspace and personal life. Surround yourself with environments and people that lift your frequency.

Your Next Step

Start with a simple self-check: How does your energy feel right now? Not sure? Pause, breathe, and really notice—are you in sync with what you want most? For more on turning these universal laws into real results in your business and life, visit donnakunde.com and londina.com.

And remember, there’s more to come in this four-part series on the law of vibration—so keep listening and keep raising your frequency.

What if everything you see, feel, and experience in life and business is really just energy at work? In this episode, Donna Kunde and Londina Cruz kick off a brand new season by diving right into this foundational idea that shapes success: everything is energy.

Our entire approach to business, mindset, and transformation will shift if we start to really believe that energy underpins every aspect of our lives. Londina Cruz shares how even our bodies—the things we think are solid—are just “meat suits” for the true energy we carry. Donna Kunde reminds us that thoughts, feelings, and results are all different forms of energy, and what we tune into, consciously or not, greatly impacts our journey. This has been backed by great thinkers like Einstein and is reflected across different cultures, philosophies, and even music.

What You Need to Know

• Energy isn’t just a philosophical or “woo-woo” concept; it’s grounded in physics, as quoted by Einstein.
• Every single thing, from your thoughts to your physical body to your outcome in business, vibrates at its own frequency.
• You already respond to frequencies every day. Think about how a parent recognizes their child’s voice or how a certain sound can tune out distractions.
• Your emotions, reactions, and even business results are all linked to the energy you put out and the frequency you operate on.

What You Need to Do

• Start paying attention to how different situations, people, or thoughts make you feel physically and emotionally. Notice how these are just shifts in energy.
• When faced with challenges, try not to make exceptions by thinking “energy applies to everything except this problem.” Step back and remember: everything has an energetic component, even your biggest obstacles.
• Use examples from daily life—music vibrations, recognizing voices, static shocks—to remind yourself that unseen energy is always present and at work.

Your Next Step

Consider what possibilities might open up if you truly start to see everything in your life and business as energy. Keep curious. Ask yourself, “What if this is all true?” and stay open as this season unfolds.

Whether you’re in the same room or miles apart, we are all connected. That’s the theme at the heart of this episode. Londina Cruz and Donna Kunde explore how our actions, energy, and even thoughts can ripple out and affect people and situations far beyond our immediate surroundings. They explore not just the science of connectivity, but the lived experience of feeling those invisible threads binding us together.

We tend to separate ourselves—by background, by title, by geography—but at a deeper level, it’s all illusion. Londina Cruz shares a powerful quote from Marianne Williamson: “Every problem emerges from the false belief we are separate from one another, and every answer emerges from the realization that we are not.” Understanding our interconnectedness is crucial not just for empathy and compassion but for real, actionable change in ourselves, our businesses, and our communities.

What You Need to Know

• We are more alike than we are different. Individually unique, yet connected by an unseen energy that moves and influences us all.
• Natural laws apply everywhere—at work, at home, in relationships, in business—patterns repeat, and the same rules govern everything.
• When we act with compassion, curiosity, and non-judgment, our energy aligns and creates positive impact that extends outward.
• Brokenness is part of our journey, but like the art of kintsugi (mending with gold), our repairs can make us stronger and more valuable—not less.

What You Need to Do

• Start looking for patterns in your life. Notice how natural laws like seasons, cycles, and energy flows show up in your business, relationships, and personal growth.
• Embrace your own experiences of “breakage,” knowing that they can be mended and transformed into something even stronger.
• When you interact with others, do so from a place of curiosity and connection, rather than division or competition.
• Recognize that your thoughts and intentions can influence not only your life but the lives of people you may never meet.

Your Next Step

Reflect on where you might be holding onto a sense of separation—whether between yourself and others, or between different areas of your life. How can you bridge those gaps? For more practical guidance on building habits that foster connection and growth, visit donnakunde.com and londina.com.

Let the idea of interconnectedness guide your actions this week—and watch what changes.

You move through life seeing things the way you do, assuming that everyone else is seeing them in exactly the same way. But what if what you call “reality” is really just your perception shaped by experience, knowledge, and even a bit of emotion—tattooed by your “tribe” from the crib onward?

So much of what holds us back, or pushes us forward, comes from how we process our perceptions. If you want to become the person who achieves big goals, you can’t afford to be stuck in old ways of looking at the world. When you see the distinction between what’s real and what’s reality for you, you begin to open the door to possibility and growth.

What you need to know

• There’s a difference between “real”—something you can touch or see—and “reality,” which is shaped by your past experiences and beliefs.
• Perception is the process of becoming aware of something through your senses, filtered by your upbringing, emotions, and current mindset.
• Two people can be looking at the same object and have totally different perceptions of it.
• Your reality changes as you learn and grow. Conversations and new insights can shift how you see things, often in real time.
• Even what we think of as “collective reality” is really just a shared set of perceptions—it isn’t absolute truth.

What you need to do

• Start noticing where your perceptions may be coloring your experience of reality.
• Challenge yourself: the next time you disagree with someone about what’s real, consider what filter you’re both seeing through.
• Look for opportunities to learn from people who see things differently. Stay open to those “aha” moments that shift your perspective.
• Choose empowering perceptions. Instead of imagining something will go wrong (like worrying about an accident), visualize things working out well.

Your Next Step

Take a moment to reflect: What’s one area in your life or work where your perception might be limiting what you believe is possible? Start noticing those filters and challenge them.

Connect with Londina Cruz at londina.com or Donna Kunde at donnakunde.com with your insights or questions—they’d love to hear how you’re reframing your reality.

Remember, you’re never stuck with your current perception. Growth happens when you choose to see things differently.

Your thoughts aren’t just ideas floating in your mind—they’re the engine driving what shows up in your life and your business. Imagine if every belief, every feeling, every intention you hold is shaping reality all around you.

This episode of “Building Success Habits S11” with Donna Kunde and Londina Cruz dives deep into the power of thought, energy, and how to move from wishful thinking to intentional creation.

What you need to know

Everything created by humans starts with a single thought. As Londina shared, thoughts become things—and the way we direct our mental energy changes what we experience. Whether you’re thinking about a new project or picturing your next goal, it’s all energy. The key is learning how to channel that energy in a direction that serves you, rather than drains you.

Donna explains how focusing on positive, accurate thinking creates ripple effects, boosting not only your mood but opening paths to new opportunities. The science backs it up: match the frequency of the reality you want, and you inevitably move closer to it.

What you need to do

Take inventory of your thoughts and the energy behind them. Are your intentions written in the positive or in what you lack? Start rewriting your goals and affirmations so they're formed with positive outcomes—for example, focus on being profitable, not on getting out of debt.

Pay attention to your everyday beliefs and visualize the results you want to see. Replace thoughts like “I want to quit” with “I am becoming healthier.” Practice aligning your thinking and energy with what you genuinely desire.

Your Next Step

Reach out to Donna Kunde or Londina Cruz through donnakunde.com or londina.com if you want support in reframing your goals or need help checking if your intentions are pointing in the right direction.

Notice your results: they’ll reveal if your thinking is tuned into the outcomes you want. Next week, tune in as the conversation shifts to the Law of Vibration—another foundational concept for building success habits.

S10 E37 The Ruler Deep Dive |IBGR | Donna Kunde & Londina Cruz

“We do not remember days, we remember moments.” – Cesare Pavese

The hero’s journey is often seen as preparation for leadership. In modern life, we become the Ruler by taking complete responsibility for our own lives – not only for our inner reality, but also for the way our outer world mirrors our reality.

When we have become too comfortable and stop growing, our world feels like a wasteland. We must allow new life and the budding new hero within us to take a new journey.

The Ruler creates a peaceful and harmonious world by becoming peaceful and harmonious inside.

There are five levels of the Ruler:

Shadow - Controlling, rigid, tyrannical and manipulative behaviors; the ogre tyrant

Call - Lack of resources, harmony, support, or order in our life

Spiral One - Taking responsibility for the state of your life; seeking healing wounds or areas of powerlessness that are reflected in scarcity in your outer life; concerned primarily with your own life or your own family

Spiral Two - Developing skills and creating structures for manifesting your own dreams in the real world as it is; concerned with the good of whatever group or community you belong to

Spiral Three - Fully utilizing all resources – internal as well as external; concerned with the good of society or the planet

Imagine that you are literally the King or Queen of your realm (your life). Let yourself imagine that you can change virtually anything you want, since you are totally in charge. There is, of course, a political process to consider; you may need to convince your “subjects” of the wisdom of your dictates, but begin simply by thinking of what you would like to decree. Start with your domain – your home, your private life, the part of your work life that is within your control. Then imagine yourself writing the new laws, or writing a speech explaining the new policies to your “subjects” and negotiating with the Rulers of nearby kingdoms to gain their cooperation.

Make sure you leave some thoughts in the comment section below. We are interested in continuing the conversation.

“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.”-- Confucius

You choose and will choose everything that happens to you for your own growth and development. Doing so restores dignity and adventure to life and transforms even the most seemingly negative circumstances into opportunities for growth.

Acting on the belief that we choose our own realities – and that we do so for good, trustworthy reasons – empowers us because it renames our experience in a way that allows us to receive its gift, whatever that gift might be.

There are many books of affirmations that suggest substituting positive phrases for negative ones in our internal and external dialogue. All of them tell us that our words program our unconscious and that our unconscious affects our actions – conscious and unconscious. We can enter “the other world” of our own internal dialogue and by changing that, change our outer life.

There are five levels of the Magician:

Shadow - Evil Sorcerer or wicked witch, synchronistic negative occurrences, calling negativity to oneself, or turning positive in negative occurrences

Call - Physical or emotional illness, or extrasensory or synchronistic experiences

Spiral One - Experiencing healing or choosing to notice extrasensory or synchronistic experiences

Spiral Two - Grounding inspiration by acting on your visions and making them real; making your dreams come true

Spiral Three - Consciously using the knowledge that everything is connected to everything else; developing mastery of the art of changing physical realities by first changing mental, emotional and spiritual ones

Be aware of someone with whom you have difficulty. In your daydreams, contact your higher or deeper, wiser Self. Then in your imagination, talk to that person’s higher or deeper, wiser Self. Work the issue though on that level. When you return to your ordinary level of consciousness, simply observe whether there is any change in your relationship with that other person the next time you meet him or her.

Begin listening to your internal conversation. If you note yourself making a negative comment about yourself, others, or events, stop and turn the statement into a positive one. For example, if you find yourself thinking, “I'll never attract the kind of person I want to love; I'm short, fat, and not bright,’ turn the statement into, “I'm attractive in mind and body, and I attract too many people equally as attractive,

”Allow yourself to feel the positive emotions that surround the second statement. If at first you are too skeptical to have good feelings about your positive statement, play around with it until you find a form that does make you feel good. For example, if you are not ready to see yourself as attractive yet, you might say, “I eat small amounts of healthy food and I study good books, so I am attracting love from people who also care about health and intelligence.“ Notice how changes in your thinking change your life.

“It is by going down into the abyss that we recover the treasures of life. Where you stumble, there lies your treasure.” – Joseph Campbell

Both Rulers and Magicians want to control reality and to change negative circumstances into positive ones. Sages have little or no need to control or change the world; they just want to understand it. The Sage’s path is the journey to find out the truth-about ourselves, our world, and the universe.

In day-to-day matters, the most essential question for the sage is “What is the truth here?”

The highest achievements of the Sage is freedom from attachment and illusion. To the degree that we are attached or even addicted to certain things, our judgment will be distorted because we are not free to see clearly.

To the degree that we are attached to approval of others, to accomplishment, and any results at all, we are not free, and in the normal course of life, we will suffer. The only sure path to real freedom and joy is to turn over control of one's life to a more Transcendent and wiser power than oneself.

There are five levels of the Sage:

Shadow - Cut off, unfeeling, “ivory tower,” “above it all;” critical, judging, or pompous behaviors and attitudes

Call - Confusion, doubt, deep desire to find the truth

Spiral One - Search for “the Truth” and for objectivity

Spiral Two - Skepticism, awareness of multiplicity and complexity of truth, all truth seen as relative; acceptance of subjectivity as part of the human condition

Spiral Three - Experience of ultimate truth or truths; wisdom

Imagine you are with a younger person who thinks you are very wise. Let yourself imagine how you meet this person and what makes this person look up to you. In fantasy, let yourself experience spending time with this person as you tell or show them what they want and need to know about life. Be aware of how it feels to chew you to take on the role of the wiser, older guide.
