If You Are Happy With Your Life, … Please Disregard

Wanted:  100 People for Change

(If You are completely happy with your life, don’t waste your time reading this.)

I am looking for 100 people that are unhappy with their life, AND are willing to do anything it takes to make it better.

◊  Would you… cover yourself in honey and stand in front of a bees nest?

◊  Would you… jump out of an airplane with a parachute you made yourself, from scratch?

◊  Would you… stand naked in front of the Empire State Building singing the national anthem of a foreign country?

The most outrageous thing is some people would actually do these things if they thought it would improve their life.

By now, you must be thinking this guy is out of his mind! No, I am actually quite sane. I have been watching people for over 25 years make positive changes to their life, without ever doing anything so risky as the examples above.

Change – What is it all about?

As an oblique overview, there are several things that should be considered about change.

◊  Change happens everywhere at all times.

◊  Change involves us, whether we want it or not.

◊  Change is a fact of Life. Get used to it.

◊  Change can be influenced in what direction it takes, by you.

Change – How can I Influence it?

To influence positive change to take place in and around your life, you must strengthen a few basic building blocks.

Mental Discipline – Take steps to exercise and strengthen your brain and mind. Your mental capabilities are so far beyond what you do currently; you cannot even fathom what you are capable of achieving. Disciplining your mind starts with a commitment. It is always easier to make a commitment when you base it on a goal. For the sake of this exercise, let’s assume your goal is “for you to directly influence change”. When you are taking up a discipline, usually there will be exercises the strengthen you mind in some fashion. Most of the exercises will have something to do with enhancing your senses. By taking steps to enhance your senses, you are building structure. Some of that structure may be new, previously untapped.

Changes to your physical senses

Visual Creativity – Visualization is a typical exercise. Using your mind to create, you are visualizing a picture of your own making. You can even add other senses to the picture, to make it more real.

Auditory creativity can be enhanced by the use of a blindfold. This limits the sensory input from vision, which is the most common way we get information. Your attention to this sense will act like an amplifier to even the slightest sound. You can hear a pin dropped, as it hits the floor.

Olfactory creativity should also be done with a blindfold, but is not a requirement. The idea again is to create a circumstance where you are presented many different scents. From those scents, you start to tell where they originate from. From that type of input, you can make many assumptions about your immediate environment.

Taste is another scent you can enhance. The easiest way to do this is to eat food that you are not accustomed to eating. Most people fall into a routine of only eating certain things. That limits the range of flavours that you are experiencing. Another way of experiencing more flavours is to travel. When you travel, you must eat the food someone else has prepared for you. Some regions have rather peculiar flavours in what the locals deem as the right taste.

Last of the physical senses, Touch can be re-educated to take a more prominent place. There are varying degrees of hard or soft, hot, warm, or cold, or many other types of touch. In an ancient stimulating method of Kama-Sutra, you would traverse various types of touch that are dedicated to create a pleasurable experience. Some people may chose to use pain as a reference point to why some things feel good, while others feel bad.

All of these are dealing directly and consciously with your senses. You may even chose to combine some of these in a single event for your own purposes. An example of this would be:  In a Monty Python’s Flying Circus Skit, comedians get slapped in the face with a dead fish. That would combine a few different techniques mentioned here.

Brain Strengthening for Making Change

There are many techniques “out there” That claim they make your brain stronger. But most of those only give you a temporary fix that wears off when not in use. You want something that has a lasting effect; something that will be there for you throughout the rest of your life.  What you really want is something that stimulates Brain Plasticity to create new dendrites (Your memory storage), grow new connections, and strengthen your old connections (neurons). That takes something very unique. Those can only be done when you push your brain in such a way to activate the production of brain cells and dendrites. The one thing we know does all those things is Mental Photography, or ZOXing.

Change Depends on Your Ability to Make Decisions

Superior information gives you superior decision making results. When we need to make a decision, especially one in uncharted waters, then we need good QUALITY information, fast. But what are we left with. As the old saying goes, when you “read” information SLOWLY, It is like pushing a camel through the eye of a needle. It takes much time and effort. But there is another way to take in information that sounds so far-fetched, that people often think it is too good to be true. The method we are talking about gives you no less than 25,000 words per minute with 100% retention of that same information for life.

IMPOSSIBLE!

The truth is you have already done this when you were young, because you were born that way. It is also the way you learned so very much in the first few years of your life. Along the way, you allowed yourself to be taught away from using it. You had no idea what you were giving up, because you had nothing else to compare it to at that young and impressionable age. So, what is the magic now? Again, it is Mental Photography, or ZOXing.

Do You Really Want To Change?

Do you want to change your life without severe risk taking; like covering yourself with honey for a bee-fest, sky diving with a home-made parachute , or being very cold and naked in the middle of New York City encouraging people to tar and feather you, or worst, or something just as extreme?

If you answered YES!, then you owe it to yourself to seriously consider it. To get the best details, please visit ZOX Pro Training at www.ZOXpro.com

Have a Great Life!

You are so Amazingly Powerful!

Do you experience enough passionate and powerful moments?

 

You and I are Amazingly Powerful.

 

When you are passionate about achieving an outcome, when you are motivated and enthusiastic about doing so, when you deeply want to achieve something, history shows that you can be amazingly effective.

In these moments, you commit huge amounts of time, energy, money, and any other resources that will help you achieve that outcome.

Now spend some time contemplating the times in your life when you have felt and acted in this way.

And then contemplate how you felt after you achieved such an outcome, about which you cared so deeply: I suggest you felt powerful, excited, exhilarated, and even unstoppable.

Now contemplate what you learned from the harnessing of your passion and the pursuit of that outcome. I suggest you learned very valuable lessons, experienced life in a deep and meaningful way, and that you became a more capable and competent human being.

 

Passionate and Powerful Moments

Do you experience such passionate and powerful moments in your life often enough? What is the price you pay when you miss out on these moments?

Life can be hard, but it is through facing the hardships that we grow. Children whose parents protect them from hardship are less than competent. Adults who avoid hardship basically cease to grow.

Experienced business people with 30 years’ business experience in the same job, who do not impress others with their abilities, are often accurately (and unkindly) described as having only one year of business experience repeated 30 times!

Now spend some time contemplating your greatest achievements in your life; I am quite sure that you would identify experiences that were difficult and time-consuming and energy-sapping! You are ‘proud’ of your achievements because they were difficult, not because they were easy. You have become who you are through your many achievements, big and small.

It is not an achievement for most people:

  • To eat their meals
  • To tie their shoelaces
  • To travel to their workplaces
  • To handle a mobile phone
  • To go to the movies
  • To spend money
  • To do what they habitually do.

My challenge to you now is to ask: are you avoiding the difficult issues and challenges in your life? Are you living your life in a way that seeks ease and comfort, rather than attempting the tasks and roles that are difficult, challenging, exhilarating and educational?

 

Time to Change

If your answer to either or both of these questions is yes, then now is the time to change your mindset. Now is the time to understand deeply that you are meant to experience passionate powerful moments that expand your capabilities and your competencies, so that you develop into the amazingly powerful person that universe, or God, has designed you to be.

When you are developing into such a person, you can make the contribution to this beautiful planet on which we live that you are meant to be making.

Remember: everything is difficult before it is easy.

Go for it, with Passion!

Change Just One Thing, Then the Domino Effect Changes Your Life

How to achieve your change:

the role of your stimuli…

Change Behavior

Changing behavior is usually most difficult.

The two key factors that you need are Stimuli to change, and then Support.

This blog article will deal with the necessary Stimuli that will lead you to successfully changing your behavior.

Two examples of desired changes that we seem to have the greatest difficulties in lie in the area of weight loss and attitude.

The first question to answer is this: ‘Why do you want to lose weight or have a different attitude?’ You MUST be able to answer this specifically and at some length and with some passion to ensure your chances of success.

The Passion Success List of Wants…

Here are some reasons WHY, that will provoke your thinking to develop your own special Stimuli that will also engage your passions:

  • I want to be healthier
  • I want to live longer
  • I want to be alive when my grandchildren become adults
  • I want a better sex life
  • I want to be more attractive to others
  • I want more energy
  • I want to be more productive
  • I want to fit into my clothes that I love that are sitting in my cupboard
  • I want to save money by not wasting it on junk food
  • I want to get rid of my headaches
  • I want to attract my soul mate into a life long relationship
  • I want to increase my self-confidence and self-esteem
  • I want to achieve something great that is difficult
  • I want to save money on medical bills
  • I want to avoid diabetes and heart attacks
  • I want to be head hunted for a great new job because I have the right attitude
  • I want to avoid being sick
  • I want to avoid spending any time in hospitals
  • I want to have more energy to play with my children
  • I want to have more energy to keep learning and developing
  • I want to be a great team player
  • I want a great reputation in my industry for being an excellent contributor and a quality person.

Successful people are clear and specific on the reasons, on what they will gain through the change of behavior and what problems they will solve or avoid by doing so.

Achieving Success in Your Lifetime…

Now, write down your own set of reasons to change, and the longer the list, the better!

I will explore the need for, and the different types of, support in the next blog article.

My various blog articles on the Mind to Mind website will be helpful in provoking some ideas in designing your stimuli.

Mind to Mind Thinking About … Life

LIFE…

Ask Yourself:

What direction is your life going?  Do you want to have it go in a different direction?  Does ‘change’ intimidate or frighten you?  Do you care more about what other people think over your well-being?  When people ‘help’ you, does it feel more like a hindrance?

But why am I asking these questions?

Because these are the tough questions.  They are the questions that will make a difference in how your life plays out from this point forward.

I am reminded of a recent TV commercial:

A man, his wife, and baby sitting in a park.  The man asks his wife,  “If I died tomorrow, you would not have any security to fall back on.  What about life insurance?” His wife replies,  “Look over there!  There is a bird flying around that tree.”

Do you think that maybe his wife does not like to talk about life insurance or death?  Maybe she just doesn’t like tough questions.  Well, in your case it doesn’t matter what she likes or dislikes.  What matters is what you do.

Stop evading the tough questions.  These are the questions that will make or break you in your future life.  (And no, I am NOT selling life insurance!)
