Sort Yourself Out

I’m sure you’re familiar with this scenario. You’re in bed, desperately wanting to go to sleep. But you’re tossing and turning, and that’s not all you’re doing, because more importantly, you’re festering! Yes, your mind is churning away like nobody’s business, turning over all sorts of worries you can do nothing about at the moment.

Now, I’ve heard a lot of this over the years. A large proportion of my clients, particularly middle-aged women, wanted help for insomnia  related to worries keeping them awake at night. Thoughts and worries churning endlessly, like some waking nightmare. And often tossing and turning for hours, adding the anxiety of not getting any sleep to the list of worries, knowing they will feel exhausted as they begin the day, and unable to bring the best of themselves to the world. 

The really good news is that the skills and techniques that you are about to learn in this week’s episode have an immense power to uplift all areas of your life! Because we are talking not just about managing your worries, but about enabling you to control your thoughts and your mind. It is completely possible to learn how to master your mind, rather than it controlling you. And when you learn to control your thoughts you are stepping onto the path to Inner Peace. 

So this is not just about getting a good night’s sleep. It’s about improving the quality of your life on many levels. 

Today I am going to give you a two-pronged approach to end the crippling cycle of worry and help you get a grip on your mind.

Approach number 1 is The Before Bed Prevention Technique: How to deal with your worries outside of bedtime, so they are not an issue when you want to rest.

Approach number 2 is The In Bed Technique: How to stop the worry when you are in bed, and it’s starting to consume you.

Also this week I’m offering my free How To Stop The Crippling Cycle Of Worry That Keeps You Awake At Night Cheat Sheet to keep by your bedside, so you’ve got it when you need it!

In this episode you'll hear:

• Why you really do not want to spend time worrying.
• How these techniques improve the overall quality of your life. 
• One of the main worries we take on as women.
• How to ease your mind before you get into bed.

In this episode we’re discussing the most powerful inner attitude you should cultivate to have a positive impact on all areas of your life, Optimism. I’ll be providing you with my top 10 ways to start to flood your life with optimism right now.

Now, I’m sure you’ve come across one of those people who seems to be perpetually submerged in doom and gloom. They’re on a permanent downer, spreading pessimism wherever they go. They might as well be wearing one of those Life Sucks and Then You Die T-shirts from the 80s. Remember those?!

You know someone like this, right? And don’t they just suck the life out of you?! You see them coming and you think, “Aaah, RUN!”, because you know that they are going to BUM YOU OUT! They can’t wait to latch onto you, and tell you, intimately, all of their woes and all of the things wrong with the world. 

Well, as unpleasant as these people can be, they are right! No, life doesn’t inherently suck! But according to their world view, their inner state of pessimism, they ARE going to attract woe and crappy things to themselves, as long as they hold an attitude like that. 

You know that principle that like attracts like? Well this principle is always in operation, whether for good or bad.

And their belief that the world is out to get them, is not only the filter through which they view the world. It’s also a self-fulfilling prophecy for them, because they attract all manner of low and unpleasant circumstances, people and events into their lives as a result of the nasty ideas that they are focusing on all the time and thus fuelling.

Now, I doubt that you’re one of these totally pessimistic people, as you probably wouldn’t be here sorting yourself out if you were! Right?

But even so, most of us have areas in our lives where we could take things up a notch, improve our attitude, and create a greater sense of well-being. So tune in to discover my top 10 ways to flood your life with optimism, and totally upgrade your state of mind and thus the way you experience the world.

A sneak peek at today’s episode:

• Two things you need to do to reclaim your power.
• How to up-level your self-talk and banish negativity.
• A simple practice to take you out of autopilot and raise your awareness.
• How to protect yourself energetically from people who suck the life out of you.
• A fun practice to upgrade a bummer scenario to a new and improved reality in the Quantum Field.

Also this week I’m offering my free audio recording, the Life Conspires To Make Me Successful Affirmations, to pump up your optimism and program the belief that life is stacked in your favour.

In this episode we’re discussing How To Know If You're Ready to Sort Yourself Out. Sounds like it should be a fairly obvious thing for a person to know. But this is something that many people struggle with when it comes to making a change in their lives.

Maybe you’ve noticed this yourself? You feel like you want to make a change. You KNOW you NEED to make a change. You try again and again, but you just can’t seem to make it stick? Or worse, you can’t even get started, you just cannot make yourself do it.

Hopefully you’ll get some clarity about sorting yourself out, as we discuss the nature of change and transformation, and the role that timing plays in making lasting change. 

And I reluctantly reveal my most embarrassing, my most shameful, and yes folks, the most disgusting (yet kind of hilarious if it didn’t happen to you!) personal story that you would have thought would have forced me to sort myself out, and yet alas, did not. So stay tuned, sit yourself comfortably, and be ready to cringe and shiver alongside me! 

A sneak peek at today’s episode:

• The major point that determines being ready to sort yourself out.
• The reasons why people choose not to sort themselves out.
• Why things may need to get worse before they get better.
• The difference between a change and an entire transformation.
• The purpose of life in a nutshell.
• Why you shouldn't beat yourself up if you don’t succeed at first.
• Oh, yeah, my disgusting, shameful story! :o

Do you ever wonder why it is SO HARD to make a change in your life, even when you really want to? You may feel like you know what to do to make the change, the steps you need to take. You’ve got a plan, and so off you go, good intentions intact. 

You’re good for a while, holding it together, making progress. And then after 2 or 3 weeks... BAM! You crack! You hit the cake! Or you hit the wine! You revert to procrastination or whatever habit it was you were trying to change. 

And you think “Aaaah! This is too hard! It’s hopeless!”

And you give up. At least for a while. Until you dredge up the motivation to have another go at sorting yourself out.

Whenever we are wanting and trying to change, and yet feel so stuck and impotent, we can be sure that there is a subconscious belief pattern sabotaging our success. 

And this is where my top-down approach, called the Three Phases of Transformation come in. 

The Three Phases of Transformation are all about making your mind work for you, not against you. As long as you have conflicting or limiting beliefs or patterns of behaviour buried in your subconscious mind, they will always win out and stop you from making the change you want. Even if you really want it.

Today I’m giving an overview of the Three Phases of Transformation, and in the next few podcast episodes I’ll dive deeper into each phase and how you can activate them in your life through various practices and techniques.

In this episode:

• How we can rise above our compulsions, habits and hangups to make lasting change.
• The easy methods I used to completely liberate myself from two addictions.
• What Albert Einstein had to say about making lasting change.

Today I’m offering a FREE short and sweet guided meditation that you can download, that is very close to my heart. It’s called the Inner Smile Meditation and it’s designed to get your endorphins flowing, those feel-good hormones that give you a natural buzz, and to raise your vibration, to really rev up the good vibes so you can attract higher vibrational things, people, circumstances and opportunities into your life.  

It only takes 5 or 6 minutes, but gives you an afterglow that you will carry into your day! So give it a go, you deserve a little treat! You can find it at theinspirationcloud.com/syo2.

Today we’re talking not just about happiness, but about how to be better than happy. Because happiness is not all it’s cracked up to be. It’s often related to a moment in time or something pleasurable you are doing, like a specific event or circumstance, or the fulfillment of a material desire. But that kind of happiness is fleeting. Pretty soon the glow will wear off, and you can bet that you’ll be hankering after something else to feed that desire to be happy.

That kind of happiness can also disappear in an instant. For example, have you ever been feeling really happy, and then say someone is rude to you, or you get a bill in the mail. And then BAM! Your happiness evaporates in a puff of smoke. You sink into bummer mode. There you are, thinking, Wow, where did my happiness go? 

But there is something much, much better than that kind of happiness. Something that nourishes your being at a deep and primal level. Something you can rely upon that carries you through life’s inevitable ups and downs.

So, today I’m sharing my top 10 tips for how to be better than happy, covering everything from my favourite techniques, practices and tools to liberate yourself from your hangups, and your self-sabotaging thought and behaviour patterns, to spiritual practices and the Ageless Wisdom, so that you can be better than happy, and achieve a lasting sense of well-being and fulfillment in your life.

Here’s a sneak peek at some of what we’ll be discovering in today’s episode:

• How to deal with the people who sap your energy and drag you down.
• An inspiring idea that we can program into our minds to achieve our highest potential in this incarnation.
• A simple trick to slap down your inner b*tch!
• Inspiration from a disembodied entity (!) and the Dalai Lama.
• How to become aware of just what the heck is going on in your subconscious mind.
• How the concepts of karma and reincarnation can bring deeper meaning into your everyday life. 
• What Top-Down practices are, and why they are the best tools to uplift your well-being on all levels. 
• The one tip that I call the DADDY, that has the most power to have a positive impact on your life.
• What we can learn from a baby hedgehog on YouTube (yay!), so that we too can get some metaphorical cheese!
