Action Thursday - Building Up Courage - Steps to Leaving Your Comfort Zone

Are you so afraid to leave your comfort zone that you're losing out on enjoying your life and living your dreams? Though you may think that your comfort zone will protect you from taking the risk of change, often times it ends up imprisoning you instead. Your comfort zone only keeps you in familiar territory but provides no growth, only stagnation. Don't allow fear to keep you back.

So let's look at 3 simple steps you can take right now to build up courage and propel you forward to leaving your comfort zone. 

Step #1 - Clearly define what it is you want

What do you want other than what you've been getting? Do you have enough of your life not producing the results you desire? Why settle when you were meant to have so much more - the abundance of life? Look at what your life could be like if you only took the risk to go after what you've always dreamed of? Clearly define it. See it in vivid colours. Having a clearly defined target gives you something to focus your attention on instead of focusing on your fear of taking the next step. 

Step #2 - Determine why you want what you want

A strong 'why' will give you a reason to move forward in spite of obstacles, setbacks and disappointments and build your courage in the face of fear. Your 'why' will keep you from rationalizing your reason for wanting to give up. 

Make part of your 'why' as a consequential motivator; using your fear in your favour as opposed to being against you. For example, if I don't lose this extra weight it could seriously affect my health and shorten my life span. What you're doing is putting up barriers to prevent retreating. You leave yourself with no other choice but to leave your comfort zone and keep going forward. 

Let's use another example, if there was no way for you to return to your current home, what would you do? You'd have no choice but to move on and look for a new home wouldn't you? And you'd come up with creative ways to help you do that, wouldn't you? So, if you create a barrier for retreat in your mind, each time you think of going back, that barrier will be there to help you keep going forward. 

Step #3 - Generate strong feelings for your 'why'.

Associate feelings of pleasure to your 'why'. Research has shown that people do things mainly because of the pleasure they receive from it, even if it is logically harmful to them. It is this association with pleasure why it is difficult to break a bad habit. You look forward to the things you enjoy doing and you'd want to do more of it.

Identify the pleasure in your 'why' or create the pleasure. What pleasure would I get from achieving this goal if I went after it? We would more readily take the risk to do something because of the anticipated pleasure than if there was no pleasure, no joy attached to it.

By the way, if you'd like to have a simple step-by-step process, a Life-Changing Map, to show you how to break through roadblocks and build the courage you need to leave your comfort zone and move towards your dream, then this is for you.  Check out The Life-Changing Map to get more information to learn how to do this.

SANTA &THE LITTLE TEDDY BEAR has already achieved bestseller rank at Amazon.com in the category of Children's Books/Religion/Inspirational.

The book leaves you with a smile on your face and joy in your heart as you read and imagine the Bilbo the Little Teddy Bear grow from all worn, tattered and torn blossoming into a lovely being with a twinkling heart and an enlightened soul.

http://santaandthelittleteddybear.com/

18 years ago Peter had an idea to write a children's Christmas story, he wrote and illustrated the book, and put it away on the shelf.

http://santaandthelittleteddybear.com/

In 2008, the Lucking Family gathered in England for a Christmas reunion. Peter’s nephew asked, “What is the true meaning of Christmas and why do we celebrate?” The three Kings (the Lucking brothers), wearing their Christmas paper hats (an English Tradition), began to tell the story through the joyful singing of Christmas Carols, when you read and listen to the lyrics you truly discover the meaning of Christmas and why we celebrate.

http://santaandthelittleteddybear.com/

The evening was magical. Mum Maria had left a copy of the original Santa and the Little Teddy Bear an 18 year old manuscript on the bedside table; a book that was originally inspired by Peter’s son Michael’s birth. Peter had an epiphany that night and set out to rewrite the story intertwining carols, developing the characters to create a book that is fun, joyful, educational, spiritual, whilst it tells you the true meaning of Christmas.

I'm thrilled to support Peter as he spreads the word and meaning of Christmas through Santa & Bilbo in this epic whirl wind adventure. Peter has written and illustrated this new best-selling 2011 INDIE EXCELLENCE Holiday Book Winner and 2011 INDIE Excellence Book Cover Design-Children-Finalist, entitled: SANTA & THE LITTLE TEDDY BEAR.

Inspiration - Calm Your Thoughts Today

If you feel the weight of your responsibility weighing heavily on your mind take the time to calm your thoughts.

Here's a beautiful quote I got today I'd like to share with you.

Calm your thoughts today. Empty the vessel that holds your worries, goals, fear, and excitement. Allow your mind some time to rest today. When you give yourself this precious time; you create space for wonderful moments in the present.

Laura Lester Fournier

You see, sometimes you can become so caught up trying to figure things out to the point that your head hurts. Ever experienced that? You think and think and think some more until you feel like something's squeezing your brain - you know what I mean.

What you're doing here is just creating a wall of stress and strain that blocks the flow of creativity. So let's break down the steps you should take from Laura's quote to calm your thoughts so you can invite a wave of life-giving energy and creative ideas into your life.

Step #1 - Calm your thoughts today

Stop your over-thinking right now or stop what you're working on so you can connect to the place of inner peace and gain mental relaxation. Breathe in deeply and relax your mind and your entire body.

Step #2 - Empty the vessel that holds your worries, goals, fear and excitement

Let it all go, release it and turn it all over to the Great Universal Spirit. Visualize your worries leaving your mind and your body, know that everything is working out on your behalf and all good is here now - accept it.  

Believe that you will reach your goals and the information and help you need will show up at the right time. Release your fear and excitement - embrace courage. All is well. The universal power is at work in and through you working things out on your behalf.

Step #3 - Allow your mind some time to rest today

Do something different, something fun - something that will take your mind off of your fear, your worry and get rid of the anxiety. Bask in the freedom of joy. You may say, "How can I be joyful when everything's going wrong or when I have so much to do?" Then I'd say to you, "Just decide to be joyful." Being joyful is a decision - sing a song or put on some music and dance. Maintain that feeling into all you do throughout the day.  

Step #4 - When you give yourself this precious time; you create space for wonderful moments in the present

In the present miracles happen, creativity comes, inspired ideas shoots down into your mind. As you are in a relaxed state of mind you are allowing the Universal power to remove the tangles from around you and free you from your stress and frustration. 

It's in the stillness that power resides and manifests in your life. As you are present, as you a paying attention to what's around you, you begin to discover and see things you've never noticed before. 

By the way, if you'd like to have a simple step-by-step process, a Life-Changing Map to show you how to break through roadblocks and get back on the path to achieving your goals, then I'd like to invite you to visit, The Life-Changing Map to get more information to learn how to do this.

Lyrics:

You've been sad
you been hiding so long
don't be scared
just you keep
holding on
I've been there
Locked myself away
Can't bare to face

Your broken and ashamed
But if you search within
your self you can

Learn to love you
And you'll learn to heal the pain
Let strenght hold you
Let it shelter you
from rain
Those shadows caste away
your pride
Find the light
That shines inside
of you..

Soo alone
It's soo cold were you are
Close your eyes
let the peace warm your heart
Free your spirit.
Chase away your fears
and wipe away the lonley
tears
Feel your courage near
Let it reach into your
soul and then..

Learn to love you
And you'll learn to heal the pain
Thats recosed you
That has sheltred you
from rain
Those shadows casted away
your pride
Find the light
That shines inside
of you...

I know your hurting
your worlds are caving in
but in time
you can make it
I know your trobules
the worlds deminishing
but just listen
to the vocie within
and...

Learn to love you
And you'll learn to heal the pain
Thats recosed you
That has sheltred you
from rain
Those shadows caste away
your pride
Find the light
That shines inside
of you.

Getting My Body Back Friday - Overcoming Fear of Going Out Into Public Places Because Of Your Weight

Do you avoid going out in public places because you're afraid that people might judge you because of your weight? Is your fear keeping you trapped from exploring new places because you don't want other people to see you because of your size?

It's time to free your mind and free yourself. People will always have an opinion whether you're skinny or fat, short or tall, dark skinned or light skinned or anything else you can think of that someone can have an opinion on. 

It is YOUR life and you must live it! How will you choose to live - in fear because of what other people think of you or in freedom, enjoying life like anybody else? What makes someone better than you? This is where you need to protect your head space and your heart space, silencing the outward voices that are trying to invade your life and allow the voice inside you to become louder.

How can you make this happen?

Let the beauty of who you are become your focal point and be confident in yourself. Develop this mindset each day and change the energy you're sending to your own body. When you go out into public places other people would feel your energy of confidence.

Here's a quote from Daily Word, Unity that I think will empower you to see yourself from a different perspective:

"NATURE

I am restored through my communion with nature.

Year-round, nature is the doorway to my restoration. Whether I am taking in the brisk winter air or the scent of spring, scouting out a summer picnic or hiking on a crisp fall afternoon, nature feeds my soul and restores my spirit.

I marvel at the sights, sounds and scents of each season, realizing that the same omniscient power that created such beauty also created me. I am no less amazing than the most spectacular sunset and no less magnificent than the rarest flower.

I look forward to moments alone in nature where I rediscover my oneness with God and the universe, gaining a new perspective, a quiet heart and a healthier outlook."

We never think of ourselves as being spectacular. When you see the awesome beauty of nature's mountainous regions don't you go ooh and aah in awe? What about the animals, the elegance of a giraffe? We shake our heads in amazement not realizing that the same power created us as well. 

Here's an exercise you can practice today - every time you look at yourself in mirror, find something about you to ooh and aah about. You are worth it! The more you do it the more value you will see in yourself. The more you can appreciate you, the louder the voice in you becomes and you will be less concerned of the opinions of others when you go out in public places.

Make the mind shift now and truly live!

Action Thursday - 3 Action Steps To Create A Positive Self-Image

Is your negative self-image keeping you from living your life in freedom and enjoying happiness? You can recreate the way you see yourself and end the self-sabotaging behaviour that’s been keeping you bound.

Use these 3 action steps today to help you create a positive self-image so your life can begin to flourish with the fresh essence of you.

Action Step #1 - Pay attention to what you’re seeing

As you go about your day pay attention to the way you view yourself. How are you around others? What’s going on in your imagination? What are you feeling? Doing this influences your focus, your feelings, your direction and your actions. Also, pay attention to your thoughts.

By staying in a state of consciousness you can not only understand yourself but you can shift your thoughts and change your behaviour.

Action Step #2 - Change your self-talk

Pay attention to what you’re saying to yourself and about yourself today. What you’re constantly repeating to yourself reprograms your subconscious mind and when you begin to accept what you’re saying it shapes you from the inside.

You could start saying things like, “I release this anxiety when I am with others. I feel relaxed and comfortable with myself. I am beautiful. I am intelligent. I have something of value to share with others.” Think about what you’re feeling at the moment and change it to a positive affirmation.

Action Step #3 - Walk in your new image

What image do you wish to create for yourself? Begin to walk in that image. How? By feeling it inside of you, seeing it as part of you and holding on to it as your own. You see, the reason why you’re finding it difficult to see a positive image of yourself is because you’ve separated yourself from that and accepted and held on the negative self-image.

Now you need to do the reverse; mentally separate yourself from the negative image – this is no longer who I am – and embrace the new positive image.

As with everything in life, change is a process of repetition. But you can do it with determination and persistence.

What other action steps can you implement today to help you create a positive self-image?

Building Self Esteem - How to Overcome an Inferiority Complex

Inferiority complex comes as a result of the thoughts and ideas you've accepted as your own. Whatever your parents, friends, family or society have said is the accepted belief somewhere along the line you've concluded that that's who you are or who you're not, and as a result of comparing yourself to others you've devalued your own worth. How can you change this?

Understand your own self-worth

You've got to stop and take stock of who you are and of your own value. What do you have to contribute to the positive progression of enriching the lives of others around you? A business may take inventory of their stock, making note of what they have and what they need to add to their in-house supply.

You need to take stock of your own strengths; what do you do that's different from others? You've got your own style of doing things, why should you diminish your value because someone does it another way?

Stop buying into other people's belief of you

People's opinion can change at anytime depending on their moods, what kind of day they're having or based on their past experiences which have nothing to do with you. What's more important is that you look into your own beliefs about who you are. It's not the beliefs of others that change you; it's your own beliefs that shape you from the inside into the person you are right now.

You can choose to accept and believe different things about yourself and stop buying into other people's beliefs of you. You create your own life and now that you know that, what would you create? Who would you be? Who are you becoming or choosing to become?

No need to feel inferiority to others if you're not trying to measure up to their standard of living. The problems come in when you're always trying to fit into other people's idea of who you should be and find that you've fallen short each and every time.

Change the old tapes in your head

Are you constantly hearing the, 'You're not good enough, you'll never amount to anything, you're worthless, you'll always be a low-life', when you're trying to move ahead in life? Sounds familiar? It's time to stop the old tapes in your head and add a new recording. Yes, this will take some working on. After all, you've been listening to these negative sounds for a long time.

But if you set your intention to change and create a new life and self-image it will work for you as you give yourself time to change. Create new affirmations and keep repeating them each day as often as necessary to begin the reprogramming process of your subconscious mind.

Changing your life may seem like an overwhelming frustrating process. But it doesn't have to be if you're given simple doable step-by-step strategies that will get you from where you are to where you want to be and experience a transformed life.

How to Boost Your Self Confidence Using Visualization Techniques

Boosting your self-confidence begins in the mind. Your mind plays a major part in the creation of your personality and this is the place you want to begin the process of change to build your self-confidence. What your eyes are focused on, what you are mentally preoccupied with, affects your emotions which in turn affects your beliefs and shapes you from the inside.

In this article we will look at 3 Visualization Techniques to help you boost your self-confidence.

1) Create a new mental image

Before you can create a new mental image, you must first become aware of your current image of yourself. Stop and think for a moment; how do you see yourself right now? Write it down. Now, what do you want to change about your current image? Write that down as well.

Let's take it further; imagine yourself as being the self-confident person you desire to be, what would it be like to be confident in making your own decisions, or confident in speaking before an audience or even going forward toward starting that business you always wished you wanted to start or going after your dream career? Let your imagination be free of all the inhibitions. Don't hold back.

2) Connect your emotions to your new mental image

Get your emotions involved. Feel the feelings of having your desire, of doing the thing that you wished you could do. You have no limitations here, only what you imagine. Release any feelings of fear and 'but what if's or supposes'. You know, the ones that get in the way of your progress. How does it feel? You could write these down as well. Writing this out helps you to clearly express the emotion that goes with the mental image and allows you to connect on a deeper level.

3) Become one with your new mental image

You've created the new mental image of self-confidence. You've connected your emotions. Now it's time to own it. You need to hold that image of self-confidence inside of you. You must become one with - not seeing it off somewhere while you're here stuck in fear and entangled in self-doubt. You see, you could do the other two steps and still walk away feeling disconnected from your desire because you've not brought it home into you. Once you hold that image of self-confidence inside of you, you own it, it is yours.

Changing your life may seem like an overwhelming frustrating process. But it doesn't have to be if you're given simple doable step-by-step strategies that will get you from where you are to where you want to be and experience a transformed life.
