To Succeed... Just Let Go

We're talking about stepping outside your so-called comfort zone in this episode - you know, the one in which you feel safe but you know to be, at the very least, uncomfortable.

In fact, without taking control of what's going on between your two ears, without taking responsibility for your state of mind, that comfort zone is more like a prison cell. Seriously.

In this episode, we cover what happens when you walk out into the world that your thinking mind thinks is not there, what you will discover, first of all, about yourself and, then, the opportunity and synchronicity that you will discover then you choose to get out of your own way.

You'll realise that you neither need to be brave or courageous. You only need to turn up. Another "seriously"!

When we turn up, we effortlessly do what we need to do (and say), in the right way, at the right time. That doesn't just enable us spot and embrace opportunity, it enables us create both opportunity and the synchronicity that will enable what we would most dearly love to experience simply "fall into your lap".

Worth 30mins of your time!!

We're in between the Christmas festivities and the New Year - often a time for reflection. So, in this episode, I'm telling you not to reflect!

Instead, I have a suggestion for you that is far more interesting, one that will offer you the opportunity to get to know yourself in a way that may just fully jolt you into the realisation of your own inner power.

Effectively, I'm suggesting an exercise in awareness - the root of understanding and being. My suggestion will enable you take a giant leap forward even if that is not immediately apparent to you at the time.

You see, we are all - and always will be - a work in progress. That means, the more work we put into ourselves, the more we'll progress.

Wouldn't you like to progress while you still have the opportunity? Wouldn't you like to progress by embracing the opportunity that this bit of downtime between now and the New Year offers us?

Well, as we've been saying week after week, you've got to make the choice. Choose wisely.

And, on more thing. As I mention at the very end of this episode, I have a free three-part video-based online training program on the go right now: three sessions that will be fed into your inbox over the course of just a couple of days. All you need to do is sign up to receive more "work" (to make more progress) using the link in your Podcast player.

We travel into your inner world in this episode because everything that you think is going on in the so-called real world is created within.

That means that you create your own annoyance, frustration, anxiety, loneliness... you name it, you're doing it to yourself - repeatedly.

So, if you want to experience peace of mind, that journey starts within. That's great news because it means that that journey can start right here, right now.

It means that all you have to do is deliberately decide to experience flow in the moment. Even the ordinary-minded individual will experience the odd natural high in their lives. But it won't have been done deliberately, their thinking mind will almost have been caught off guard! They'll have experience flow by accident!

So, what are the steps involved and how long does it take?

The steps are simple. You already have all that it takes to take those steps, regardless of what misgivings that you might think that you have about yourself!

These steps, deliberately taken as often as the choice presents itself - which, by the way, is each now - provide you with a roadmap to happiness, success, peace of mind and all good things.

And that roadmap presents itself one step at a time. All you have to do is take this step now...

It's an expression used frequently by my clients and Online Program Owners - "it feels as if things just fall into my lap".

In the same vein, they regularly talk about things "occur" to them when they are not thinking about what to do or how to do it, when they are not thinking about worries, problems or challenges, when they're not thinking at all.

I've been asked "How do I let what I need fall into my lap?" This episode answers that question.

Whether it's work, business, health, fitness, relationships or dancing lessons(!), what we need arises when we need it, if we let it.

That means, to use another phrase which I regularly hear, that "you need to get out of your own way". This episode explains how to do that.

And, as we say right at the end of this episode, it is incredibly simple to do, it's only thinking that it's complex that makes it complex.

Here we have a practical walk-through what it means to have all good things just "fall into your lap", what it means to live the life you'd love to live like "it just happens"; how to be "the best version of you" and how synchronicity actually works... in practice.

We can talk about the science (we often do!), we can explore the concepts in detail (we often do that too!) and we can discuss the everyday practical how-to steps to "living your life to the full".

But what matters is... Results. Without practical results, why bother?

And there are results-a-plenty. And the best way for me to explain what the results look like, how they "land" or "fall into your lap" what better source to call upon than my own clients and Online Program Owners.

If you ever doubted how the world really works and if it would work in your favour, you need to listen to this episode.

Now, there's an interesting title for this week's episode - words that the normal mind would consider defeatist! And, as we'll discover in this episode, words have power.

So, why are we exploring such anti-aspirational language? The answer is, of course, that we're not! Because I'm not using language in the way in with language is normally used.

So, this week, we take further steps on the adventure of a lifetime that progresses one step at a time, one now at a time. An adventure of experience and insight into who you really are, what you really are.

In the process (the one that Program Owners are always talking about following!) we learn to leave concepts like "want" and "lack" behind. We learn acceptance, detachment and, above all, trust - that we can trust ourselves to do and say what will take us to where is best for us.

There's a wrestling match going on in your brain's cockpit - and the Automatic Pilot needs to be defeated... your life depends upon it!!

Yes, this week we're talking about something beyond the scope of the normal crazy mind, beyond the scope of a mind-on-auto: conscious deliberate choice.

Conscious deliberate choice leads to the kind of conscious deliberate action that will change your life.

And it is a lot simpler than it sounds because you only need to get used to making one conscious deliberate choice on now at a time - it's only your thinking mind that gets you too far ahead of yourself!

So, follow the couple of steps we explore in this week's episode and, quite literally, see where it takes you - it'll take you to places that your thinking mind couldn't even begin to imagine.

And, if you want to take a little step that is, in fact, a quantum leap, have a look at the Black Friday Special Offer for lifetime access to my Online Program The Psychology of Success by clicking the link on your podcast player. Your life's literally in your own hands.

Generally speaking, people don't know what they're talking about when it comes to focus.

I say "generally speaking" because it's 96% true - because normal crazy people cannot focus. Evolution wired the normal brain for something else entirely... survival.

That means that your brain is not wired to achieve your goals. It's not wired to enable you live the kind of life you'd love to live. It's wired to keep you in the box that you think you've been in since you were young and impressionable.

But that is not what this episode is about!

Today I'm explaining what focus is and I'm providing you with exact instructions as to how to do it and...

How to put one foot in front of the other on the adventure to your best life.

You don't need to know what that means - it's simpler than that. You only need to know how to put your best foot forward now. And you will instinctively know how to do just that when you learn how to focus.

Or, actually, this episode is about liberating yourself from the prison of created by your own thoughts.

In this episode we explore right and wrong, good and evil and, when you reflect upon it, you will realise that these are choices with which everyday life confronts us. Say the wrong thing and you throw fuel on the fire, do the wrong thing and dig yourself into a bigger hole. Everyday stuff!

But your life is made up of everyday stuff - for better or, if you're using your mind like a normal adult, for worse.

We explore how this works in everyday practice. How you learned the thoughts that create your version of reality. How those thoughts create the mood in which you think you find yourself. How that mood "enables" you automatically select the next thoughts you think and how those thoughts create the mood you're in.

Now do you know why I call people who are using their mind that way "normal crazy people"?

But all that bad stuff is just a precursor to what this episode is all about: how you can buck 1.8m years of evolution and strike out on the everyday adventure that will change your life.

And there's more. Take note that each Thursday, for the next three Thursdays starting on Thursday November 9th, my weekly Thursday morning videos will, together, constitute a substantial training program that will enable you take the plunge into... the life you would love to live.

Here's the paradox - to just let go you need to take control.

So, in this episode, we explore what "taking control" means: scientifically (we explore cognitive psychology, neuroscience and the phenomenon of neuro-plasticity); with real-life examples (I've three important short stories) and with clear instruction (that explain exactly what we're talking about and how to do it).

For example, did you know that you cannot focus as a normal adult? Did you know that you cannot set your mind to achieve your objectives until you have experienced what it is like to be focused? And do you know what it takes to develop your ability to focus?

This episode answers all these questions in a way that will enable you start changing your life this minute.

Because, when you experience the reality of the here and now, for even a moment, everything changes.

Perhaps its the game-changer you've been waiting for. Or, perhaps, you've experienced it once or twice and you don't know the practicalities of living this way all of the time. Either way... listen, learn and put it into practice.
