How You Feel is Your State of Mind

If you don’t feel good, it’s just a state of mind. It’s the perspective that you are adopting in the moment. All there is to do is to change your perspective. Look at it and expand out. Often times what happens when you don’t feel good is you get super focused on this one, little tiny thing that isn’t working. But if you expand your view a little bit and look around, you start to see there’s a lot in your life that is actually working right now.

The moment I see that there is a lot in my life that is working right now, I start to feel good again. The moment I feel good, I am more attractive. When I feel good, I am more charismatic. When I feel good, I’m smarter about stuff. When I feel good, I can take more effective action. When I feel good, I can say the right thing, do the right thing, you know, it’s just like you get in that flow. It’s all about your perception.

What Makes You Suffer?

Your point of view is what makes you suffer, nothing else. None of the circumstances in your life, none of the people in your life, where you were born, the circumstances with which you were born, where you find yourself now. You getting fired from your job does not cause you to suffer. Your children not doing what you want them to do does cause you to suffer. Your suffering is a function of the opinion that you have, and you have an opinion that life shouldn’t be the way that it is.

I hate to break the news that when you have that opinion, you’re going to suffer. And so consider that you’re holding people, the world and everyone around you accountable to agreements that they never made. You want to get out of the suffering? Let go of those agreements and begin to align with the way the world is and see what happens.

Anger is Not a Choice

istock_000001624654smallMost powerful people mistakenly believe that anger is a choice.  With further examination and attention to the matter you will see that the body reacts to potential threats automatically.  To control the answer and turn it into something positive you need to do the following:

a.  Notice the body reacting negatively.  Most positive people avoid negative feelings.  A more powerful thing to do is to feel them completely to understand the feeling.  Rather than resisting it or denying it, feel it fully from a detached observer point of view.

b.  Step back and see the whole situation.  See the upsetting situation from all points of view and notice that the anger, fear etc dissipates quickly.

In the anger is automatic.  Happiness, peace, joy and all the other positive emotions are chosen.

Do You Feel Like This?

istock_000002662724mediumA client of mine sent me this email yesterday in a burst of enthusiasm. I want you to feel like this too, okay?  Let me help you.

“I am shifting so fast…. That little resistance point about what I do for a living that popped up in our call, and my working it through that
afternoon was a milestone. Just be happy. Choose joy in this moment, and the next, and the next.

The amount of joy…. Just joy … I am experiencing is mind-blowing. I
spent all of yesterday writing… Writing for the pure pleasure of it….
Writing for me…. No agenda… No plan.. Just this creative flow… And it
feels amazing.

My heart is breaking open. I am feeling such love for people. True love. I
am spending time doing things and connecting with people at a whole new
level. I know you know what I mean… It’s indescribable. Tonight I
connected with a man with no legs, hardly any hands… And we just talked.
This isn’t new for me… I can talk to anyone… But the openness of my
heart. The fullness in my heart…The joy in looking this man in the eyes
and actually SEEING him. I think I caught him off guard. I got so connected
to my humanness, and my spirit.

Matthew I love you so much. This journey is so exciting. I am so in.
whatever happens. WHATEVER happens.. I know I am moving toward God’s big plan for my life. Even in the bigness of all my prior dreams, I sense that
what’s in store for me eclipses it all. How could my human self have any
idea what’s possible when I fully awaken? How could I have spent all those
years driving toward my silly version of ‘success’. No matter, I am on the
pathway, and I have you to thank.”

The Quick Way to Feel Joy Now

Pretty young woman with arms raisedThe quickest way to feeling joy in your life is to stop paying attention to The Drunk Monkey (your mind).  Life is so much more enjoyable when you don’t pay too much attention to the rambling bumbling insanity in your head.  Today just focus on the beauty that is all around you.  Pay attention to air on your skin, the sun on your face or the smell of flowers.  When you do, you will feel joy.  When you feel joy, life is easy, effortless and enjoyable.  Isn’t that what you want?

Are you living your ANTI-Purpose?

istock_000001909034smallAs a life coach I work with people everyday who dream about one day doing what they want with their life.  Most people are living their anti-purpose.  They are feeding the lifestyle demons.  It’s all about the money.  Day in and day out, going to work to pay for the life they have — hoping that someday they will have the life they want.  It never happens.  You can have all the money and stuff in the world and still feel empty, wondering, “When am I going to arrive?”.  I have clients who have made hundreds of millions and they still wonder when it’s all going to work out.

Most people are living their ANTI-purpose.  Building a life that will ultimately lead somewhere else.  This is an endless loop of dissatisfaction.

You must take the time to discover your true purpose in life.  Not what you will “do” but what you will “experience”.  Almost every person who starts the Inspired Action Coaching process believes that “Someday when they are DOING this, then they will be EXPERIENCING that.”

My coaches and I work with people to help them realize that this equation is backwards.  When you are experiencing the feeling and emotions you want now, what you do becomes irrelevant.  When what you do becomes irrelevant, you start to do only the things you want.  And the activities that you won’t like become more enjoyable and you suddenly do them better.

If you want, I can have someone on my staff introduce you to this process as my gift to you (my reader).  Click here to receive a free discover your purpose mentoring call.  Be sure to enter the code blogreader or you will have to pay $198.75 for this service.
