Visualize.

Visualize yourself successful.

Take 5 minutes today to secure your success by visualizing it.  Sit quietly by yourself with your eyes closed.  Take 3 deep, cleansing breaths.  Then think about yourself.

If you know what being successful will look like for you, visualize yourself being there.  If you have an important exam, presentation, competitive event, or business venture in the works, see yourself actually performing in that event, and see the results you want.   Watch from afar as you successfully complete the task.  While you are watching yourself, practice feeling calm, relaxed and confident.  You’ve got this one in the bag.  You do not feel anxiety about the task because you know that you will be successful at it, and you are prepared. Smile at yourself.  You are going to hit this one out of the park.   Know with everything inside of you that you are going to be wildly successful.  Namaste.

Be Accountable.

If you have done something, take responsibility for it.  If you are thinking about doing something, write it down, and assess it.  If you commit to doing something, do it.  When you make a commitment, stick by it.  So, be careful about what you commit to!  Namaste!

Get it.

There are just some people who “have it” in this life.  I am one of those people.  You can be too, if you aren’t already.

“I think, therefore I am.”  Rene Descartes.

Be sure to think of yourself in positive and successful ways.  This will ensure that you become, and stay, that person.  Namaste.

Make to do lists. And do them.

“If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.”
Bruce Lee

Make time in your life by being more efficient.  Make your “to do” lists the night before so that your brain can subconsciously work on getting it all done while you are sleeping. You will sleep better knowing what to expect from your day, and you will wake up feeling ready to take on the world! Your “to do” list should be detailed and include everything that will need to be done for the one day. Schedule your time everyday, and be sure to include work, personal, school and family stuff all on one calendar that you can keep with you at all times.  Use a daily calendar that has time slots on it so that you can see just how much time you have to get things done.   There is only so much time in the day, so make good use of every minute.  Be sure to schedule in some time just for you… you deserve it.

Plan to do things, and then do them.  This is the secret to success.  Namaste.

 

Be Honest.

Be honest with yourself and everyone else in your life.  Being honest with yourself means to always respect and listen to yourself.  You know deep inside of you what is right for you, and what is not, and also what you really want out of life.  Listen to yourself.  You know what is best for you.

Be honest with others, and always tell the truth.  Be straight up with the people in your life.  Even if you feel like you are going to hurt someone’s feelings, be honest in the most tactful way possible.  You can only control your own feelings.

If you are honest, you will develop an amazing sense of trust in yourself.  Others will respect you and look up to you for being true to yourself and to them.

Namaste!

Get Christmas Started.

It is almost that time of year again.  Be prepared for Christmas this year, and start something small today.  Make a list of all of the people that you will want to buy gifts for.  If you can think of any ideas for gifts, write them beside that person’s name.  Don’t worry about gift ideas if you don’t have them right now, just the names are important.  This task should only take 5 minutes, but it will do a lot to get you in the right frame of mind.  Writing things down really has an amazing impact, and suddenly the right gifts for the right people will start showing up for you as if by magic.  Be ready to be prepared this year! Namaste.

Have Faith.

“Faith is to believe what you do not see; the reward of this faith is to see what you believe.”
Saint Augustine

Have faith in yourself and the Universe.  You have the ability to tap into the Universe, and the Universe will always provide.  Start by having faith in your own abilities and dreams.  Figure out what you passionately want in life, and have enough faith to know in your heart that you will be able to have what you want.  See your dreams vividly in your own head, and soon those dream will be tangible in your life.  Namaste.

Promote Yourself.

Take a piece of paper and write down at the top

“Awesome things about ” Insert Your Name”.  For me, it would be “Awesome things about Tina O’Connor”.

Write down your accomplishments in life as of today.  Try to write down at least 5 things, but write as much as you can! Here are some examples:

  • I completed grade 12
  • I have a degree in ——-
  • I have volunteered at the women’s shelter
  • I secured a job at ——
  • I helped an older person across the street the other day
  • I am a licensed —–
  • I am in school to be a —–
  • I remember phone numbers, and PLU codes for vegetables, and my airmiles number
  • I never forget a face
  • I have an amazing smile
  • I am great with kids (or animals)
  • I am assertive (outgoing, fun, energetic, outrageous)
  • I play the violin (or piano, guitar, etc)
  • I can fit my fist in my mouth (this one is for someone special in my life!)

This is a personal list, and one that should be fun.  Read your list over when you are done, and give yourself a pat on the back.  YOU ARE AMAZING.

Now start treating yourself like the amazing person you are.   And starting today, do whatever it takes to add things to your awesome list.

Have an abundant day! Namaste.
