Stop Being So Angry! Don’t Lower Your Standards

7 Comments

“People seem tired and worn out. There is much intolerance, distrust, name calling and hate. We seem to ‘declare war’ on all our problems and others we don’t like. None of it helps to feel better or live better lives. We do much harm to ourselves by being angry.

Some find a temporary relief in putting another person down. Ego may derive some pleasure. It isn’t lasting. It adds not one wit to anything of value. It only seeks to level another or to cause  injury so one can feel they have the upper hand or are justified.

If you are wronged trying to get back at the person who wronged you doesn’t help. Getting really mad doesn’t change the situation. It is only a reaction to it.  Most likely, an over-reaction. It does nothing to change anything. You can’t change things after the fact.

Forgiveness Isn’t Something We Do For Other People …

It is as it is. Accept it. Learn from it and go on. The higher value and benefit would be to use it to become a better person yourself. Use it to gain awareness, understanding, tolerance and acceptance. Use the hurt and injustice to become more loving and compassionate.

Let go of anger and the tendency to fight back. Learn NOT to retaliate. Vow to not hurt yourself and others. Stop! Let go, become aware. Understand that hate only injures the person who hates. Remember the famous quote attributed to the Buddha:

‘Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.’ There is a fake, but meaningful, Buddha quote. ‘Holding onto anger is like drinking poison and expecting it to harm the other person.’

Forgiveness Is Something We Do For Ourselves To Move On

The damage done to you is poorer mental, physical, emotional and spiritual health. It takes its toll on YOU. Let it go! Be free. Accept the hurt and anguish then be done with it. Let it go! To forgive is one of the highest value moves you can make. To forgive IS divine!

To truly forgive ends it for you. The other person may still have to deal with or live with the consequences of their actions but YOU are free once you let go. Why not be desire to free instead of enslaved to negative feelings? Why stoop to the low standards of others?

Why not refuse to play that game at all and live by a higher ideal? You get hooked and hurt when you play at a lower level. Revenge, an eye for an eye, is getting hooked. Instead, be free. Live and be an example of the best not the worst. Most, seem to prefer, to get back.

Sometimes The Hardest Thing And The Right Thing Are The Same

It seems to be a problem for many people living today. They resort to the lowest form of behavior. It is sad. Don’t be a mindless follower and hate back because someone hates you! Be free. Think and act for yourself! Be independent and intelligent! Rise above it.

Determine that you will be a role model. Live from higher values. Take the high road, the road LESS traveled. Raise your consciousness and you may help others raise theirs. Don’t participate in all the negativity! Choose to live free from divisiveness; free from discord.

Become grateful. The disappointment, the hardships, the hate and anger that you might face alone, and from others, CAN be a blessing if you learn to look for it. It can be a valuable lesson you might not otherwise receive. Learn, allow and accept, be open to a new way.

Give Yourself Permission To Feel Anger, Resentment And Pain …

An incredible thing happens when you do. You neurology opens up. You become bigger than the problems. You can actually feel it. That which used to hook you no longer does. You discover you aren’t upset by that which used to really burn you. You get it. It is okay.

You can reframe it. You can find the learning and lesson in it. You can act from inspired thought and feeling instead of react from anger and hostility. You can live at peace and at one with yourself, AND with others. You understand there is value in everything, everyone.

I have shared within these blog pages many ways to let go. I’ve shared how you can live better, live more positively, freer and have more fun. Please go back and look and learn. Study these posts and free yourself from whatever bothers you. Make changes you desire.

… Then Breathe – Relax – Meditate – Let It Go And Move On

Accept the challenges, the obstacles, the negativity without fighting back. The best answer to violence may be a gentle one. We’ve been conditioned to not turn the other cheek, but perhaps, we ought to try it. Great things can happen when one stops fighting everything and starts celebrating everything!” Rex Sikes

“Hopefully, at different times in your life, all is good. Everything seems to work like magic. Everything fits and flows. It is the good life and you are happy and feel blessed. Sure, there are other times but there are also some really fabulous good times. Yes,? You have?

I hope so. Today’s blog comes to you a bit later than usual. For that I apologize. BUT I am not sorry. What I mean is, my goal is to get you the blog everyday. Early enough too, for some readers to begin their day reading it. Depending where in the world people live, of course.

Anyway, today be kind to yourself. Be kind to others. Make it a special day and treat yourself and enjoy resting, and taking care of you while compassionate for others. Make it sweet, slow and significant.  Bask in leisure and love and life, today.

If You Can’t Say Something Nice About Yourself – Practice

Take time to stop and smell the roses. This is as important as the daily pursuit of your goals. Consider it this way. Each day you eat, play, and sleep. Taking time for yourself to enjoy and rest should be part of each day. Even ‘the creator’ rested after creating.

Don’t wait for the weekend, rest a bit each day. Play a little each day. Make everyday a great day! Put life into your day don’t just spend it working for a living. Savor the seconds and embrace them. Each day! Now as to why I am not sorry.

Because I took care of myself, too. I slept in. It was much needed. I spent the past week celebrating with others, hanging out with like minded positive people, feeding and nurturing and working on myself. Spending time brainstorming business opportunities.

Be Good To Yourself Be True To Yourself And Love Who You Are

I invested in myself, spent money doing programs I desired to do. I met new mentors, coaches, trainers and people I like to spend time around and learn from too. I dedicated the week to me and my growth. I always enjoy learning and going to positive seminars.

It was a wild week packed with joy, business, play, positive people and energy, travel, eating hotel food and foods I normally don’t eat, and little sleep. SO I slept in. I apologize but I don’t regret nor feel sorry for taking care of myself and delighting myself.

I want to remind you to do likewise, today and everyday. Gift yourself and remember to be thankful. Be a great giver and a great receiver. Allowing yourself to receive is an important part of our development and moving forward. Be an excellent receiver!

A Thankful Receiver Bears A Plentiful Harvest

Also, please remember it doesn’t matter where you are in the journey. It doesn’t matter the obstacles or the ease at which you progress. You are moving forward, as long as you move along, even if just a little bit. A little bit of change can produce huge results!

Whether your a new initiate to personal progress or advanced remember to treat yourself, AND others, kindly, with love, respect and appreciation. You are always right where you are in the journey and that is reason to celebrate. So do it. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Use today to delight yourself and loved ones even more!

Principles Of Creation, Manifestation And Attraction You Need To Understand

5 Comments

Horizons 1-reaching-phil-koch

“You don’t get what you want as much as you get what you are. You recreate and attract what you already IS. Yes, pardon the grammar but what you IS, are presently, is what you get more of. If you are loving you get more love in return.

You create  what you already are. If you want riches in the future you need to feel and be rich right now. You don’t get wealthy by feeling and being broke. While the reality is you don’t presently have money you must feel as if you do. Get it? This is how it works.

You attract what you are. You attract what you think about. You get back what already you have. Those who have get more. Those who don’t lose what little they have. It is Scripture. You make happen, manifest, attract what you vibrate at. Karma, is what goes around.

The Universe Never Asked You To Struggle It Is Responding To You

This is why feelings are important. You feel rich, then you are rich, then you make riches happen. You vibrate wealth and you create it and attract it. Every cell in you lines up to make it happen. You are congruent with it. You are wealthy even when you don’t yet have it.

You are grateful for it before getting it. You live a little in advance of the world. Before it shows up you enjoy having it. Another way to think about this is, you put in your order with the cosmic waiter or waitress. You ordered your food. The kitchen is making it.

You will get it soon. As you sit there it is being prepared. You are eager to have it. You plan to enjoy it shortly. You don’t doubt or worry about the kitchen not making it or the waitstaff not delivering it. You are prepared to eat it. As far as you are concerned it is yours.

To Bring Anything Into Your Life Imagine It Is Already There

It is yours already because you ordered it. This is the same attitude you must have about your future. You put in the order. You saw what you wanted. You affirmed it. NOW it is coming. It is on the way. You don’t need to beg, you don’t need to convince it is yours. It is yours!

Accept it. Allow it. Eagerly anticipate it. Receive it. Be happy it is coming. Be grateful it is yours. Delight in it. You are getting what you wanted. This is the mindset. These are the feelings. You are delighted and secure. You are the person who has what is desired.

You are wealthy the material wealth is on the way. You are love the right relationship is on the way. You are the proud new home owner the house is on the way. You are healthy right now. You are whatever it is you desire for the future, right now IN the present.

Your Thoughts Are The Architects Of Your Destiny – Careful

The gap is only in time. The gap is the time between when the order is placed, the seed planted, and the order arrives, the plant grows and you harvest. You reap what you have sown. How you wait determines whether you get it quicker or slower. Do you get it?

If you go into the restaurant and create commotion and prevent the chefs and staff from doing their job it takes longer to get your food, if at all. If you dig up the plants before they bloom you won’t reap what you sowed. You wait patiently and expectantly. Eagerly is fine.

You know, you have faith, you are CERTAIN it is coming. It is on the way. The seeds are growing and one day the plant breaks through. Your birthday is arriving and you’ll celebrate and get gifts. It will happen. Enjoy. Celebrate and wait with anticipation.

The Only Person You Are Become Is The One You Decide To Be

You anticipate what you know will happen. You expect it. So you are able to enjoy and go about other things. When you think about it you think about how great it is to have it. What you think about you become. You think about how wonderful you are it. Understand?

You create more of what already IS! If you focus on lack and worry about bills and don’t feel you have enough that is what you get back in return. That is what you are seeing, visualizing, affirming, being and vibrating. That is what you create and attract.

You are getting what you don’t want. The universe, your subconscious can only respond by saying yes to whatever you have going on inside of you. Your thoughts and feelings run the show. Worry is negative practice. What you focus on you get.

We Receive Exactly What We Expect To Receive

Stop. Create only what you intend. Become deliberate in what you focus on. Learn to control you attention. What occupies it is where energy goes. Where the energy flows is what you create. So instead, be grateful, for the invisible good you want, as if you have it already.

Delight, live as if. Act as if you are already it. Enjoy, delight, and celebrate. Be thankful. Live in gratitude. Appreciate and continue to look for more to enjoy. Life gets better and better as you do. Savor it and celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

What And Why You Must Read To Be Happy And Successful!

3 Comments

Horizon bridged-path-phil-koch

“I write long posts often. There is a reason for that. Leaders are readers. People who read tend to get further in their lives than others who don’t. Most famous leaders and innovators spend large portions of their daily time in reading and most importantly in study.

Reading to  gain knowledge is important, but it is also important for brain development and health. When you read you make mental images and mental connections. When you watch movies most of the images and sounds are supplied for you. You don’t do much.

When you read and when you implement what you read you grow new neural pathways. You grow your brain, the structure is actually enhanced. When you write and take notes, BY HAND, in script, you enhance brain structure and grow new neural connections.

Reading Reduces Stress And Mentally Stimulates Your Thinking

When you review and re-write your notes you are helping to wire in your learning, to make it more memorable and available for use. Learning is active and passive. The more you put into your learning the more you get back the benefits from it. It is very brain healthy.

You should read daily, as much as you can, but a least a page. Fill your mind with that which you want more of. Inspiration, motivation, creativity, positivity; use your imagination. Your brain is like a muscle that grows the more you use it. Review, re-write and re-word often.

Put what you read into your own words. Share it with others. Talk about what the author wrote. Every week or two review your notes. Re-write them. Re-word your own notes. The more you frequently review the more insight and understanding you derive.

Reading Increases Your Knowledge Your Vocabulary And Memory

Today, people don’t want to read. There are too many electronic distractions. Today, people flit from thing to thing without keeping their energy or attention on one subject. Focus and concentration is lost. We need to re-develop that. Learn to concentrate again.

When you spend time reading positive and inspiration material you fill your mind and being with possibilities, as well as, know how. You open up your horizons and expand your world. There really is no replacement for reading. Spend time reading each day.

I know some people won’t read my blogs because they are long. I also know those who take the time to read my long posts will benefit in many ways those others won’t. Read, study, engage your mind. Fill your mind positively. Pick up a book and dive into it.

It Improves You Analytical Skills Your Focus And Concentration

Find out what books those who live ultra happy and successful lives like to read and read those. Read what thought leaders and millionaires are reading. Discover which books and authors influenced them onto greatness in their lives. Study success!

Spend more time reading and reviewing and re-writing and re-wording and you will change your life for the better. Make the material you read your own. Embrace and embody what you learn rather than just adding facts and figures to your knowledge base. Read, learn, delight, APPLY and celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know And It Is Stopping You From Getting What You Want

2 Comments

Horizons a-road-of-poems-phil-koch

“Your personal blind spot. You can’t see it. You aren’t even aware of it. You don’t know it exists. Others may, but you don’t. You don’t know what you don’t know. You can’t. You are unable to. You need to become aware of what you don’t know because it IS  limitation.

What you don’t know IS limiting you. How do you become aware of what you do not know? You rely on others who DO know what you don’t and can see that you don’t know it. These become your mentors and coaches, your teachers, guides and consultants

These become your trainers or sages. They can help you begin to see what you can’t yet. Those who are where you want to be and have started from where you started are most qualified because they have been where you are and have gone where you want to go.

Minds Are Like Parachutes They Only Work When Open

How willing are you to learn? How teachable are you? Can you stay open? For most people the three words that cause most trouble are ‘I know that.’ People stop, when they think they know something. Often, they only know about something. They are informed.

They hear a presenter speaking about something they have only read about and they think or say, ‘I know that’. Instead of staying open and listening and learning. If you really knew THAT why are you getting the lackluster results you are getting? Hmmmmmm?

If you really KNEW that you’d be applying it in a way to make your life better. To KNOW and not to DO is to not know. Information is only power when you USE IT to transform. Knowing is the ability to take inspired action not just satisfying intellectual information.

You Can’t See Your Own Face Without A Mirrored Reflection

Get it? If you think you know something how are you using it to transform your experience into something more grand? How are you assisting others in making positive changes? If you aren’t yet, you can. Stop! Let go of being right. Allow yourself to be humble.

You may need some assistance so be willing to allow the right others to guide you. Invest in yourself. You may need a book or some audio material, a mentor, a program or coaching and training.  You may not but allow yourself to be helped in moving yourself forward.

Walk the path with someone else. Let them support you. Allow it. Look, listen, learn and apply. The proper fruit of knowledge is action. The most important thing one can do is stay open, be available and use what you are learning. Make the changes you want.

Be Willing To Listen To Those People Who Have What You Want

Get feedback. Get feedback from the results you get and from others. Learn from everything. Evaluate and apply the feedback. Be careful to not just dismiss it. Awareness and understand are the two first steps to change. You don’t change unless you DO something.

That may be changing your thoughts because mindset is the first BIG piece. Get the mindset, the attitude, the thoughts right. Your feelings will follow and help you produce the right actions. Performing the right actions, consistently for long enough to become habits.

You want success habits that lead to successful results. We already have some success habits and some not success habits. We have those that support us and those which don’t. We have habits of doing and habits of not doing. If results suck you need new habits.

Listen To Those People Who Are Already Doing What You Want To

If you can’t see it, or you ‘already know that’ but you aren’t changing AND you want to, then find someone who can help you take the steps that serve you. Get you head on straight and bring your best game. It is great to have assistance from the correct sources.

Maps exist to help you reduce the amount of time it takes to get from place to place. They exist because people who already know they way shared the way. Some maps are incorrect so be sure you choose your sources wisely.  Listen to the correct sources.

If those around you say it can’t be done, and are not doing it, while there are others who are, they don’t know either. They have made up their minds against it. Be respectful, be polite, love them anyway and find those who are doing it already to guide you. Choose!

Tour Guides Exist To Point Out What You Might Otherwise Miss

Be open to the feedback from the right sources. Learn from it and apply it. Be grateful for opportunities and for those who support you. You are blessed when you discover those right mentors who care enough to be there for you. Enjoy your guides and celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Celebrate fully this day!

The Second Powerful Way Of Seeing You Must Utilize And Why

Leave a comment

horizons waking-phil-koch

Have you worked with the first way to visualize? I hope so. Get good with it, if you aren’t already. Practice, become deliberate with your imagination. Remember what you can conceive and believe you can achieve. Correct repetition, for long enough, builds skill.

Here is the second important way to visualize. These methods are not in order of importance. We do both of them naturally. When you are able to do these purposefully is when you increase your abilities to perform powerfully and productively. You develop great skill.

You can change how you think and live and what you get in life! Playing with these components strengthens your ability to deliberately use your mind in beneficial and creative ways. The more you do it the more you can do, more easily. You ability grows.

The Subconscious Only Says Yes – Make Sure It Is What You Want

The other way to imagine is to see what you see as you look through your own eyes. If you walked along a beach you wouldn’t see yourself you’d see your surroundings. You might see your hands and body some, but not your face unless you looked in a mirror.

Seeing through your own eyes allows you to feel what you would feel right NOW in that present moment. You may feel things even stronger this way because you are imaging what you see, hear and feel in your body not watching it. The feelings are immediate, now!

Either way you can have powerful feelings. When you look though your own eyes you feel it as if it is happening and how it feels. When you watch yourself on a movie screen it may feel more inspiring and motivating. Do both. Be inspired and feel what it feels like to BE it!

Energy Flows Where Your Attention Goes – Focus Focus Focus

Both of these are great ways to visualize. For example, you want to buy a new house. See the house and imagine yourself in it. See yourself with family and friends. Notice everything about the house in detail. Decor, where things are. Be thorough.

Fantastic. Watch yourself enjoy dinner, party, sleep, whatever you do in the house. Be as detailed and specific as possible and enjoy the good feelings you have as you imagine this. Savor the feelings. Feelings are most important. They send this message to your brain.

Keep the feelings. Amp the feelings. If you feel inspired, motivated, happy, proud, powerful, this is good. You use the mental movie to create the feelings. Your brain gets the feelings and goes ‘Oh, Okay I get it!’ This is an extremely important concept to keep in mind.

Believe In Yourself And Your Ability To Create and Make It Happen

The other way to imagine it is to walk from room to room and see and feel what that is like from your point of  view. Look through your eyes as you did in the beach example. See the people as you would in everyday life. See their faces, hear their voices, feel their touches.

Imagine these people congratulating you on your new purchase. Feel them pat you on the back, shake your hand and hug you. Hear their voices and what they say. FEEL how good it feels to have this home and their congratulations. You did it! You got what you wanted!

Imagine waking up in bed in the new home, eating your meals. Imagine relaxing in the comfort of your home. Enjoy walking the grounds. Park your car in the driveway or garage. Live the experience of being in your new home from your point of view.

To Live In A New Reality You Must First Conceive Of That Reality

Obviously, you don’t just magically make a new house appear. There is a process of acquiring it. The first step is to know what you want and why. This give you the ooomph for all the rest. You make it extremely desirable. Your obsession. What you must have.

You imagine yourself having it. Living it. Being it! This informs your brain. Your brain works on it. You begin to get ideas, intuitions and insights. This is what it means to begin to take inspired action. You must follow through in everyday life. Your brain works for you.

Imagine scouting the house, taking the tour, buying the house, closing on the house, celebrating, moving in, celebrating some more, feeling wonderful, living in the house. Be detailed. Make it vivid. Make it real. Create the process for yourself.

Imagination Is More Important Than Knowledge

Visualize both ways. Affirm it. Declare it with emotion and enthusiasm. Believe it and expect it. Conceive it and believe it! Enjoy creating your future. Feel grateful for what you have! Delight and be thankful! Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Live fully this day!

This Is Why You Don’t Always Get What You Want!

2 Comments

Horizons lunch-phil-koch

“How come it isn’t happening for me? Ever ask yourself that? I do all the right things but nothing seems to work. You have tried, quit, tried again, perhaps. You just aren’t where you had hoped you would be. Do you ever feel like this? It can suck, right? It is  no fun at all.

There are a few reasons why that can be the case. We’ll explore a main one in this post. Sometimes, it is so obvious we miss it. Sometimes, it is just so obscure we can’t find it. This post can help, but only, if you apply what you read here in these pages.

When Life Gives You Lemons Why Aren’t You Making Lemonade

Sometimes we bite off more than we can chew. We want too much too soon and don’t really believe we can do it. Keep what you ultimately want in mind but set up a smaller goal first. For example, imagine earning 100 dollars a week more, or 10 K more a year.

We continue on visualization and how to get what you want. I hope you are enjoying this series. Please ask questions or post comments if you have any. We continue into the next post too. So enjoy learning, or reviewing and please apply what you learn and know.

Start smaller and build up. Just as you climb a ladder one rung at at time. Make the first rung of your ladder easy to obtain. Not too easy, it should stretch you but don’t make it so large it seems at possible. Win a few times first and then you’ll have the confidence to go big.

What You Can Conceive And Believe You Can Achieve

Get it? It is mindset first. Get your attitude on and then take inspired action. So see it, hear it, feel it. Imagine it. Conceive it.  Make it real in your mind. As Napoleon Hill stated, ‘Whatever you can conceive and bring yourself to believe, you can achieve.’ It works.

Do it over and over, correctly, for long enough and you create a burning desire for it. You come to believe you can do it. Once you believe it you know you will do it. You become unstoppable and persist until you get the results you want. You transform your life.

From within to without. You make the imagined real. It isn’t magic it is brain science and it has been with us forever. From early on in human development wise people learned to capture and utilize and steer the power of the mind. You can too! You only need to do it!

You Eat An Elephant One Bite At A Time

Even though this has been available for centuries few know it. Far fewer use it. Some, even want to prevent you from using it to get ahead, but now you can. The proper fruit of knowledge is action. To not use what you know is to not know. It is not responsible. Do it!

In my workshops and seminars I help guide you in learning how to do this, plus a whole lot more, so you can make your dreams come true. It is a great experience for participant attendees and you can do this on your own to. Take the time to learn to do it today!

Do it! Take action and the world becomes your oyster. Practice and keep the faith. Keep it light. Have fun. Enjoy the process. It isn’t an overnight miracle. It takes time to get the results. The miracle that does instantly occur is everything changes the instant you start.

Action Is The Proper Fruit Of Knowledge – Apply What You Know

Once you decide and follow through on your decision you initiate the process. It begins. Just as it takes time for a tree to grow the seed you planted for your future good can take time to manifest, but your life begins to change right away! It is a great trade.

You begin and everything changes. So live with gratitude and appreciation. Be thankful you got on the path. Visualize, affirm, ask positive questions, fill your mind with positive power and know that you are making your life they way you want it to be. You took action.

You made a decision to bring about good things in your life. Be happy. Be persistent. Never lose sight of the good you started. Help others do the same. We benefit when we benefit others. Read and listen to inspiring material. Hang with positive creators. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Make everyday fabulous!

If You Don’t Do These Few Important Things You Won’t Get What You

Horizons rolls-phil-koch

“The principles I have mentioned numerous times in my blog posts are these. What you see is what you get. What you say is what you get. What you feel is what you get. What and who you are is what you get more of. You get what you focus on. It expands. It is yours.

We continue exploring deliberate creation and making your dreams come true in this and upcoming blog posts. Visualizing and affirming your intentions are powerful tools to develop the mindset and inform your subconscious what you want.  From within to without!

You create inside and translate it to the outside through the strong, intense desire to make it happen and by the faith and conviction that you can and will do it. You bring it about through inspired action. You create, make happen and attract the results you want. YOU do it!

Imagine A Bright Future – In Your Mind Now – And It Can Be Yours

First, you make the invisible powerfully visible in your mind. You send strong, intense feelings of this future good you desire to your subconscious by repeated, consistent visualizing. You want your mind movies to really create strong feelings in you. Feelings!

Feelings are the delivery vehicle to your subconscious. Feelings deliver the images. Feelings inform your subconscious ‘I want to create this. Now do it!’ The important key is always put it in present tense. ‘I am this! I have this right now! I am grateful for _________.’

That message and those feelings get the subconscious mind acting on your behalf. Otherwise, it does whatever it’s been doing. You deliberately program your subconscious to create what you want by the strong emotional feeling messages you intentionally send it.

Declare What You Want – Feel As Though You Already Have It

NOW is the only time! The subconscious mind is eternally present. It only knows right now. That is why you put whatever you want in the future into present tense. You have it now! You are it now! It IS your present reality. Not someday, somewhere, but here and now. Get it?

Some day never comes. Now is Now. It will take a while for you to manifest it, but if you do this, and expect it, you can make it happen. Visualization gets the mindset right. Affirmations and Directed Questions™ gets the mindset right. It is right mindset and action!

Affirm and visualize, ‘I am _________’. ‘I have________’.  I am positive. I feel incredible. I have a million dollars. I enjoy being rich. I am a good person. I am a great learner. I am unstoppable. I have a wonderful life. I am loving. I am successful. I have lot’s of energy. I am dynamic.

Act As If You Have It Right Now – It Is Yours – Be Grateful For It

Say it like you mean it. Shout it! Be enthusiastic. Enjoy it. Affirm it! Declare it! Assert it with confidence. When you visualize and affirm it should feel great. If it doesn’t check what you are thinking. Make the changes. If it doesn’t feel right adjust it until it does.

Feelings inform the unconscious and feelings inform you. If everything isn’t exactly lined up you will get a signal. Something will feel off or less than glorious. If you feel bad examine and change the thoughts you were and are thinking. It is your alert or alarm system.

Feelings occur to help us pay attention. If you don’t believe your visualization or affirmations you feelings let you know. If you bit off more than you presently are able to believe is possible you may feel doubtful or less than glorious. Feelings signal you so you can change.

Live Your Future Reality – On The Inside – Now – In Your Present

The goal is to feel good. If you don’t adjust your thoughts until you do. Feel your best, feel excited and enthused while you visualize and affirm. Adjust until you do. When you are in the sweet spot, and are congruent with your thoughts and desires, you feel it. It feels right!

It feels good. When you are feeling good you are thinking good. This is a powerful reason to practice gratefulness. See and affirm what you are happy about. Delight in what you appreciate. Do it as often as you can. Live it. Feel it, BE it. It adds great fuel to your fire! Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Make each moment marvelous!

“Do you spend time purposefully visualizing ? If not, it is a practice you will want to embrace. It is so important that you do. Deliberately imagining what you want and how you want it sets your creative mind working  to get it. It opens up your imagination and abilities.

Are you enjoying these posts? I  hope you are. If you have questions please ask them in the comments. If this is your first time visiting and reading, please go back at least a few posts and read from there. We’ll continue on this topic for awhile and return to it frequently.

There a couple ways to imagine things. One is to see yourself in the image as if you were watching yourself in a movie or video. This is a great way to see how you look, move, sound and interact with others. You see yourself where you want to be and with whom.

Whether You Think You Can Or You Think You Can’t You Are Right

You can be artistic and add vivid color. You can make the size of your mental movie screen larger, much, much bigger, as when you are in a movie theater. You can put it in surround sound or add music. Anything you can do with a TV you can do inside your mind theater.

You can enhance the image and boost your good feelings. You can improve on this movie in your mind so it is even more appealing and makes the feelings stronger. In Neuro Linguistic Programming we call the components you can adjust Submodalities. For example:

Visual: size, shape, color or black and white, hue, tint, light, shadow, location, near or far away and more. Sound: volume, location, timber, tone, pitch, rate (fast or slow) and more. Feelings: touch, rough, smooth, heavy, soft, pressure, a tickle, location in body, and more.

What You Feel Is What You Get – Feelings Are Important

You can vary any and all of these and make any mental experience less intense or more intense. Taste and smells can be important too. Add in anything that makes it more wonderful.  Construct it so it is appealing, inspiring, and motivating for you. Make it incredible!

Make your dreams and goals more desirable, intense and immediate. Movie directors and symphony conductors play with these components.  They utilize them to create feelings in the viewer, or listener; the experiencer. You can too. You don’t have to but you can.

Sports coaches direct players to perform in certain ways.  Be your own coach, your own conductor and director.  Deliberately make the adjustments. Watch your mind movie. Do you like it better? Does it feel stronger? If yes, cool. If not, change it until you do. Get it?

Imagine A Bright Future – In Your Mind Now – And It Can Be Yours

More coming in next post. Take charge. Assume control. Tailor it for the greatest return. Make it wonderful. As you progress you may continue to improve on it. It is your movie make it most appealing. You can always change it back. Just DO IT!

Make it outstanding, lock it in, and visualize it daily! Bless, nurture and encourage yourself as you engage daily. Stick with it through rough spots or times when nothing seems to be improving or happening. You’ll breakthrough as long as you persist. You will!

Delight all along the way. Enjoy it and be grateful. Have fun, practice in the spirit of play. As it has been said, ‘ You can pretend anything and master it.’ Allow yourself to easily grow. Your skills develop faster and you go further when you celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Have a fantastic day!

The Secrets To Seeing What You Want And Getting It

Horizons ready-to-seed-phil-koch

“Successful people, through the ages, have always been ones with vision. They have been those who used their imaginations and their ability to visualize themselves as successful prior to reaching the successes they desired in everyday life.  They utilized their minds.

From ancient writings to more modern research the value of visualization and affirmation have been extolled. If you aren’t using these critical tools in your daily life now is the time to begin! Plant the seeds today that can grow into great results in your future.

In this blog post and a few subsequent ones I’ll share more on the power of visualization and some tips for using it to help you make your dreams come true. Remember, you can if you think you can.  Visualization IS the way for coming to believe it is possible!

You Get What You Repeatedly Practice – Practice Is Rehearsal

When you visualize and affirm you are rehearsing and practicing. All coaches and athletes, artists and others know the value of repeated correct practice on performance. Actors rehearse for weeks to open a play. Musicians practice. You get what you practice.

Fewer people seem to realize the incredible benefit of mental rehearsal on performance and the results they get in their everyday lives. ‘To enjoy enduring success on must travel in advance of the world’. Create it in your mind and then the rest catches up.

Sadly, most people rehearse, practice and re-live their failures and disappointments, their worries and their fears. They program themselves for lackluster results again and again. Stop that if you do that. Learn to program yourself for success and do what works.

What You Say Is What You Get – Your Words Are Important

It works either way. Either you program for success or failure. If you do nothing your brain runs on default. If that default setting isn’t getting you what you want then YOU must change it. The great news is YOU can! Take control. Visualize and declare your success now!

I’ll share one powerful way to visualize in the next post. Then another one after that. Build your abilities by implementing what you learn. Apply it and practice it. Begin today. Have fun, take it lightly and enjoy the process. Until the next post, and beyond, celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes

Have a playful day!
