Enhancing The Human Experience with Mark Phillips

This episode of the podcast is all about why your state of being is so important and also why it's not the only thing.  A lot of my work focuses on this topic, so I wanted to shed some light on it.  In my research, I've discovered this idea over and over again from virtually all spiritual masters.  In addition, contemporary philosophers and psychologists point to your state of being as the foundation for the experiences you will encounter in life.  I hope you enjoy the show!

Show Notes

The reason I focus so much of my work on the idea of developing a successful state of being is due to the fact that all action flows from our state of being.

For your actions to be effective, and produce the results you want, you first have to develop a successful state of being.

Your state of being is the same as your state of consciousness, or your state of mind.

It’s the foundation for all of the experiences you will ever have in life.

While your state of being is important, it’s not the only thing.  You also have to take action.  So, success also depends on what you do, and how you do it.

Before you do something, take a minute and ask yourself, “What is my state of being right now, in this moment?”, and “Is it in alignment with the result I want to realize?”  If not, change your state of being.

You can change your state of being at any time using your imagination.

Just imagine yourself as being the person who can do what it takes to get the results you want.

Over time, this way of thinking will harden into a belief.  And once you believe it, you will be it.

Success in life is the result of designing your self-concept in a way that supports the circumstances you want to have.

Identify what you want from life.  Know your desired outcome.  Then determine who you have to become to realize it.

What qualities, characteristics, and attributes do you need to embody to realize your goal?

At the end of the day, it’s all about results.  If we’re not getting the results we want, we have to change.

It’s all about being receptive to new ideas that are, ‘floating in the either’, as Edison said.

When these new ideas are acted upon and brought into the physical world, they have the power to not only enhance your own experience, but the experience of those around you.

If you’re not in a receptive state of being to receive an idea and bring it into the world, it will go to someone who is.

So always ask yourself, “Am I in a receptive state of being, to welcome and act upon, the ideas floating in the ether?”

The formula for success is, “Your state of being + your state of doing = the results you want to have”.

One Sentence Summary:

To realize success in life, you're state of being must be in alignment with the circumstances you want to have.

Quote of the Week:

You are at this moment calling out of the infinite that which you are now conscious of being.  And not one word or conviction will fail to find you.” ~ Neville Goddard

How to review the show on iTunes - If you enjoy the podcast, it would be awesome if you'd take a minute and write a review on iTunes.  To do that,

Note: For this podcast’s show notes, I've decided to deviate from my standard show note format, and go with more of a blog post format.  I felt this would be a better way to communicate the information.

Are You Ready to Beat Perfectionism Once and For All?

If you’re reading this post, I’m going to assume you’re ready to put perfectionism in it’s place once and for all.

I’m also going to assume that you’ve had enough of dealing with the decreased productivity and the endless feelings of fear, doubt, anxiety, and worry that accompany perfectionistic thinking.

Not to mention the huge energy expenditure of trying to be perfect, and do everything perfectly all of the time.

It’s exhausting, I know.

I definitely feel your pain.

I've been there.

In fact, even though I’ve done a good deal of work in this area, I still find myself having to deal with perfectionistic thinking from time to time.

And that brings up an important point.

In my own experience, and learning from others, I don't believe the perfectionistic thoughts ever go away completely.

I think we just learn to see them for what they really are, and learn to ignore them, so we can get on with living.

The good news is that once we successfully overcome this type of thinking a few times, it gets easier.

I’ve picked up some really effective tools over the years to use against this formidable foe.

These strategies, tactics, and techniques, which I’ll share with you in this post, have made a huge difference in my own ability to take consistent focused action without being hindered by perfectionistic thinking.

Sooner or later I think we all realize that if we ever want to get anything done in life, we have to slay the perfectionist beast within and take back control of our life.

Who or What is Behind Perfectionism Thinking Anyway?

Before we get into the strategies, tactics, and tools, I want to take a minute and talk about who, or what, is behind perfectionism.

If we’re going to do battle with this thing, we’ve got to know something about it.

We’ve got to gather some intelligence on it.

Like any good tactician we've got to take some time to prepare, and know ourselves, and know our enemy, before we engage in any kind of battle.

If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles.  If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat.  If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” ~ Sun Tzu, The Art of War

In the case of perfectionism, the real enemy is our own ego mind.

So, what do we know about the ego?

Here’s some info on the ego:

Your ego’s job is to keep you safe, at least from a social standpoint.  Human beings are social creatures.  Looking foolish is akin to death, to your ego, because this could be detrimental to your social status.  A failed venture could cause you to lose face in front of your fellow humans.  And to your ego, that’s the worst thing that could ever happen to you.  So, the ego uses every trick in the book to keep you from doing anything that could potentially open you up to ridicule, humiliation, or disgrace.  And as you know, some of those tricks are pretty advanced.  Perfectionism is just one of the ego’s tactics.

If you’re alive, then the ego feels it’s doing it’s job perfectly.  But as we all know, there is much more to life than simply being alive.  For starters, there’s personal growth and development.  And that typically only happens when we venture outside of our comfort zone, and try something new; meet new people, master a new skill, etc.

Your ego will do anything to keep you separated from your divinity—your true source of power.  Because once you realize you are not your ego, or your ego-created story, the ego has no control over you.

Your ego is a projection of your lower self.  It’s largely the result of the environment in which you were raised and the social programming you acquired as a child.  This is why there are some individuals in the world who have virtually no problem whatsoever with perfectionism.  They’re psyche just wasn’t programmed the way others were.  In most cases however, those who have broken free from perfectionistic thinking, have put in a lot of hard work (both inner and outer) to overcome this.  This should encourage you, because it is possible.  Many successful people have proven this.

So lets get into some tactics.

The tactics

Since I'm using the metaphor of a fight to talk about what's going on inside of us when we encounter perfectionistic thinking, let's talk jabs.

I liken the little negative thoughts that arise anytime we start moving toward a stretch goal or dream to jabs that a boxer would throw.

Except these jabs are being thrown by our own ego mind.

These jab’s can do some serious damage if we don't have a plan to deal with them.

Over the years, as a spectator watching boxing and MMA matches, I’ve seen all to often just how much damage the simple jab can do.

When it comes to doing battle with your ego mind and the perfectionistic thinking it uses to keep you stuck, throwing a few simple jabs of your own can be very effective.

What we're really doing here is fighting thought with thought.

We have to counter the detrimental, counter-productive thoughts the ego throws at us with inspiring, uplifting, can-do thoughts designed to get us up and into action, and keep us moving forward.

The following thoughts, are really effective in winning the war within.

I keep them in mind and always ready to deploy when perfectionist thinking pops up.

These thoughts, or beliefs, aren’t ideas that I came up with.

I've simply acquired them from successful people over the years.

I find them to be really effective.

I keep them in my journal and on-line swipe files.

When you find yourself being overwhelmed with perfectionistic thinking, like:

It’s not perfect, or I'm not perfect.

It’s not good enough, or I'm not good enough.

It’s not ready, or I'm not ready.

Don’t do it.

Don’t ship it.

Don't release it.

Don't publish it.

Don't create it, etc.”

And on, and on, and on.

Counter those thoughts with any or all of the following thoughts:

I don't have to get it perfect, I just have to get it done.  Or, I just have to get it going.

Done is better than perfect.

Perfect is an illusion.

I'm going for progress, not perfection.

Perfection is the enemy of progress.

It’s better to do it and suck, than not do it at all.

I’m good enough.

I’m ready.

It’s ready, etc.

These little counter thoughts are really effective.  Over time, as you use them more and more, you'll begin to really see the wisdom behind them.  They just get more powerful over time.

And I just want to remind you that even God didn’t use the word 'perfect' to describe what he had created.  God called it “very good.”

And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.  And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.” Genesis 1:31 KJV

Perfection is the enemy of production. The best way to counter perfectionistic tendencies is to remind yourself that "perfect" is an illusion. It's a trick of the mind. But we know better, don't we. We don't fall for those kinds of tricks. 😉 #gettingthingsdone #beatperfection #manvsmind

A post shared by G. Mark Phillips (@gmarkphillips) on Feb 1, 2016 at 12:05am PST

Your perception creates your reality

It might help to remind yourself that life is what you make it.

You can choose to believe anything you want to believe.

I encourage you to choose beliefs that support the conditions you want to have in life, and let go of any beliefs that don’t.

Bringing the heat

If the thoughts above aren’t enough to get the job done, you can employ any, or all, of the following.

I liken these tactics to bringing in the big guns, so to speak.

They’re all really effective.

1. The Little Red Book/The Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous

You’re probably familiar with the organization Alcoholics Anonymous, and their 12 step recovery program.

Well, did you know that you can use this program to overcome any form of addiction, including an addiction to being perfect?

It’s true.

While the program was developed for those recovering from alcohol addiction, it can be adapted very simply to help you overcome perfectionistic tendencies.

I encourage you to pick up a copy of The Little Red Book, or download the one page PDF of the 12 steps and give it a look.

It’s a powerful tool in the war on perfectionism.

When we get right down to it, each of us is dealing with some kind of inner struggle.

We’re all trying to purify and heal our consciousness in one way or another.

The 12 Steps can help anyone who's dealing with anything.

To use the 12 steps for an addiction to perfectionism, just substitute “perfectionism” for “alcohol” in the first step, as I’ve done below and continue on with the remaining steps.

“We admitted we were powerless over [perfectionism] – that our lives had become unmanageable.”

2. Realize the only way to get better is to do

The irony of perfectionistic thinking is that it’s actually counter-productive to helping us improve.

It’s the ultimate catch 22.

You think, “I’m not good enough".

But to get good enough, you have to do the thing.  Repeatedly.  You have to suck at it first.

The magic is always in the doing.

Getting better at whatever it is you’re doing only happens by doing it more, not by thinking about doing it more.

3. See taking action as the end goal

Most of us look at the end result as the most important thing.

However, when you change your perspective, and make the end result the fact that you're taking action, everything changes.

The outcome loses it’s power over you, and so does the need to make it perfect.

In this week's episode it's all about the importance of knowing yourself first, and then knowing others.  I originally planned on doing a in-depth version of this show for episode 001, but I wasn't ready to get that crazy in my first episode.  But now that we're rolling, let's get into it.  Knowing yourself is so vital to success in every area of life, that this topic will definitely be something I talk about again in the future.  In this episode, I lay the foundation for doing that.

Show Notes

Success in life is built upon knowing thyself.

When you know yourself, you know how you can best serve others.

We help one another by coming together and offering our own unique gifts and talents in the service of one another.

Self-introspection can be difficult, but it's vital to realizing success in life.

Keep the process of knowing yourself at the forefront of your mind throughout the day.  Take every opportunity to go deeper.

Exercise discrimination when putting all of your "stuff" in a vehicle to travel down the road of life in.

Knowing others is the other side of the success coin.

When you know others, you'll know how you can serve them in the best way; in the way that's right for them.

Knowing thyself is so important that it's a major topic in my forthcoming book, The Magic of Being Companion Book.  This book is all about teaching children the importance of knowing themselves, and how they can leverage their own unique talents and attributes to find lasting happiness while serving others.  I'm eager to get it wrapped up and in print.

One Sentence Summary:

When you know yourself, you'll discover how you can best serve others in a way that is uniquely suited to you, and you'll create a win-win in the game of life.

Quote of the Week:

Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom.  Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power." ~ Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching

Inspiration.  We all want it.  We all need it.  Without it, taking the necessary actions to realize our goals and dreams in life is virtually impossible.  In this episode of the podcast, I talk all about where to find it and how to keep it.

Show Notes

The big I is inspiration.

Oxford defines inspiration as, the process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative.

Inspiration is vital to success because it causes you to act - to do.  Without inspiration, nothing happens.

The bottom line is, you are a creator.  And creators need to be inspired in order to create.

Where can you find inspiration?  The short answer is, everywhere.

You can find inspiration in people, places, and things.

I like to use Pinterest to organize my personal inspiration swipe file.  I have three main categories, as I mentioned above.  But I also have categories for companies, and design because I enjoy these topics.

You can also use your phone or computer to store your inspiration swipe file.

So how do you stay inspired?  Just spend some time with your swipe file frequently.  Or hang out with inspiring people, and visit places you've never been before.

Like everything else in life, inspiration fades if you don't renew it.

Inspiration is a means to an end.  It's meant to stir you into taking action toward your own creative endeavors.

One Sentence Summary:

Inspiration is vital if you want to stir yourself into taking action and pursue your own creative endeavors in life.

Quote of the Week:

Your life is your message to the world, make sure it's inspiring." ~ Unknown

Resources Mentioned:

Arch Motorcycles - I'm inspired by the passion and dedication to their craft that Keanu Reeves and Gard Hollinger bring to their company.  They design and manufacture custom motorcycles in California.  Born out of their passion for riding, these two create rolling art.  They also know a thing or two about being inspired.  You'll find custom art hanging in the production bays of their shop.  They do this because, "Art inspires art," as Gard says.  Here's the story of Arch.

Ryan Robinson - This kid is really inspiring.  He's a young DJ who goes by the name of DJ Prince.  I first discovered him on Instagram a while ago.  I check in on his work from time to time to see what he's up to.

This is the first of many shows I'm developing where I'll be sharing what I've learned from successful people in a wide variety of professions and industries about winning in the game of life.  In this episode, I share three things I learned from Charlie Sheen about winning.  I hope you enjoy it and get a lot out of it.

Show Notes

The three things I learned from Charlie Sheen about winning in the game of life are:

Be humble - Some days you win, and some days you lose.  It's all a learning process.

Be entertaining - In both your personal life, and your professional life, being entertaining is what gets people to pay attention to what you have to say.  Then just be sure you have something important to say.

Be kind to your body - Your body is the vehicle that carries you through life, so treat it with as much kindness and compassion as you can.  It will thank you for it.

One Sentence Summary:

Show Notes

The three things I learned from Charlie Sheen about winning in the game of life are:

Be humble - Some days you win, and some days you lose.  It's all a learning process.

Be entertaining - In both your personal life, and your professional life, being entertaining is what gets people to pay attention to what you have to say.  Then just be sure you have something important to say.

Be kind to your body - Your body is the vehicle that carries you through life, so treat it with as much kindness and compassion as you can.  It will thank you for it.
