To Succeed... Just Let Go

This week's episode follows the story of one of my earlier clients - from his setting his mind to achieve the kind of grand life that his heart desired, through betrayal, disillusionment, mind-games, signs from the universe and the achievement, through action, of his perfect moment.

There are multiple lessons we can take from this week's episode: how best to set your mind; how we need to constantly, deliberately and effortlessly take action; how things that we thought happened to us actually happened for us; how synchronicity will intervene at... just the perfect moment and, if we look back to previous episodes, we need to, as many of my Online Program Owners tell me, "trust the process".

Take what nuggets you will from this week's episode and see where life will take you.

Every moment is an opportunity to start afresh: to start the day afresh, to start your life afresh.

Every moment presents you with a choice - an opportunity to choose to behave or misbehave, to act or react, to create or destroy. That means, in every moment, we must exercise choice.

Sound like a lot of hard work?

Exactly the opposite because, as you've heard me say many times, when we hit flow, when we're in the zone, everything becomes effortless. In that flow state, we don't have a care in the world, stress simply isn't.

So, how to we get there? How do we get to exercise deliberate choice?

By training our doing mind to a level of fitness so that it makes the choice, moment-to-moment for us. This is completely different from how the so-called Auto Pilot would habitually and automatically choose - choosing to inflict the sameness of everyday normality on us.

In this episode I explain exactly how to do that!

We're taking one step back in this episode to take a couple of effortless leaps forward!

Yes, we start by clarifying the so-called Law of Attraction - we need to be crystal clear that what's called for is moment-to-moment action, not wishing or wishful thinking!

This episode also further clarifies mindfulness. This is important and, here, we draw a distinction between pure mindfulness (which will not change your life) and, as the title suggests, applied mindfulness.

Or, to put it another way, presence here and now with your purpose in mind. The two moving parts of that (what Online Program Owners know as the fabled "Two-Piece Jigsaw") are explained in practical and applicable terms in this episode.

When the two pieces combine in the here and now (the only place that you can live your life), your life is going to change as a result of your own effortless right action.

A recipe for living a life full of perfect moments.

We start this episode with some conspiracy facts - not theories! For nature, evolution and education are and have been conspiring against you. Conspiring to prevent you living a happy and successful life.

And that's only the tip of the iceberg. What about normal crazy people? What about the tribes into which they band themselves? What if you were cut loose from the herd? What if you were a success and your friends didn't like it?!

That's all the bad stuff. But it's simply a prelude to the good stuff, an appetiser to this week's main course.

Because your brain will restructure itself according to how you use it. You can take charge of your own personal evolution. You can de-educate (rather than re-educate!) yourself. Your life is in your own hands.

In this episode, therefore, we don't just explore the way in which we can liberate ourselves, we explore the consequences. And those consequences are grand indeed.

Your experience of everyday life is entirely in your own hands. Not just that, your success and happiness are of your own making... or not! Same for your health, wealth, fitness, relationships... a list of either endless struggle or, to quote an Online Program Owner, a flowing experience of "deep joy".

You already know the science - we've talked about it often enough. You already know that we create our reality. And you already know that the most effective way to allow your life flow is just that... allow.

In this episode, we explore the concept of allowing, of letting go, of flowing of experiencing so-called perfect moments in the very here and now in which we all live our lives.

But we don't just talk concepts - concepts are useless (possibly even depressing if those concepts don't sound like the life you're living at the moment!) - we talk about how to experience what we're talking about.

Everything's meaningless until it is experienced.

And I'm not talking about experiencing flow or deep joy momentarily during an exercise such as meditation. I'm talking about having the tangible, real-life results to show for it. Everything's also meaningless without the results.

Ultimately, it all boils down to the question in the title of this week's podcast episode...

Let's give this episode its full working title... How the Law of Attraction Works in Your Everyday Life.

Yes, that's what this episode covers. It ties up all the components that, when put together in the right fashion, on a daily basis, will change your life beyond what your thinking mind could ever imagine.

In this episode, I cover how to set your mind - how to notice opportunity, how to create opportunity and how to recognise synchronicity. And, most importantly, how to act on all of the above - free from the inhibitions that would always otherwise stop the normal crazy mind in its tracks.

This exploration of the Law of Attraction is, then, a call to action - effortless action, so effortless that, oh so often, owners of my online program, The Psychology of Success, tell me that their success "feels as if it just happened".

I also touch on that book (the one that I suggest you shouldn't read) "The Secret" and explain that the real secret isn't a secret at all, it's something that flows naturally when you've looked after your own state of mind. What's that something that flows naturally? It's called presence and, when you have it, you are oh so very attractive.

OK, the title of this Podcast is "To Succeed... Just Let Go". In this episode, we talk about "getting out of your own way" or slipping (effortlessly of course) your thinking mind into neutral. That's all you need to do to start living your life joyfully, happily, successfully, effortlessly.

You don't have to learn anything new, you don't have to try to create anything or remake anything, you don't have to try to figure out why you are how you (only think) you are. You just have to slip that thinking mind into neutral.

When that happens, everything flows. For starters, you're going to have a better understanding of the kind of happiness and success that is for you, what will turn you on. And, when you begin to more clearly understand that, you can set your mind to the experience of how you will actually feel, including actually physically feel, when you arrive a your desired outcome.

After that, you simply have to turn up. That's all. We turn up - or we are present - when our thinking mind is idling in neutral. We are present when our doing mind is tuned in free from the constraint of our own thought.

Armed with that kind of presence, you are ready to effortlessly, for starters, trip your way lightly through today. As we say towards the end of this week's episode, today is, for today, the only day that matters... tomorrow will look after itself.

In this episode we explore how to allow yourself be and how, through simply being, we effortlessly do what we need to do to change our lives.

Allowing requires - it actually demands - real action: the fist action required is that of making the right choice: the choice to be present. Everything flows from presence. When we're present we know what is going on and what we need to do in the reality of the situation.

With such presence of mind, our actions are dictated by our intentions, the outcomes that we expect to come about.

With such presence, we preclude ourselves from indulging in the dubious luxury of having time to think about what we need to do - that thinking that would otherwise trip us up. We just do.

And, when we just do, we don't do what we don't need to do - the ultimate in time management! That means that we have time on our hands to do all the things we love doing, with the people we love and, through our presence, everyone's a winner... an echo of the exceptional success that we explored in Episode #131.

I'm exploring what I call exceptional success in this episode - what it means and what we must do to allow ourselves experience it effortlessly.

But there's much more to this episode because, when we are experiencing exceptional success, everyone's a winner - and we have what many would consider to be an extraordinary example of that in this episode.

But we go deeper - deeper into the science of how we're all "joined at the hip", whether we realise it or not.

Sadly - and I use the term advisedly - the vast, vast majority of people on this planet are blissfully (completely the wrong word!) of how we are so joined and how, when we do realise it and life accordingly, everyone's a winner.

And, in a world gone crazy, if that's not a good enough reason to tune yourself into the synchronicity of universal energy, I do not know what is!

The development of presence of mind and awareness in the present moment inevitably leads to a growing self-awareness and an ultimate self-discovery of your own potential and true nature.

Your true nature is energetic - you are energy in an energetic. Normally, our thinking, fearful minds tie our very energy in knots to the extent that our intentions don't flow out into a waiting universe.

Self-discovery enables us develop self-trust. And self-trust enables us feel what we need to do moment-to-moment. We simply know what is best to do and how best to do it to the point that we flow.

And that flow is a circular process - the more present I become, the more I become aware of the synchronicities that enable me do the right things and move forward effortlessly. And, the more that I move forward effortlessly, the more I create the synchronicities that enable flow ever further forward.

But - and here's a bit but - even when armed with a self-understanding and awareness, we can still succumb to one of the most primal of all self-imposed blockages... fear of change. We explore that in this episode too.

Ultimately, though, the message is, as always, effortlessly simple - keep doing what it takes to turn up to the here and now for, from our presence, everything flows.
