Do you want to create something new, or perhaps change part of your life? Consider that, whatsoever you desire can be yours if you ask for it believing that you already have it - even if it doesn’t exist yet. In other words, if you think about a thing in such a way that you truly FEEL grateful and happy that you have received it, then it will be given to you, or you will be led to it - and inspired to achieve it.
When you place your “mental order,” for something new or different, with a prayer, hope, dream, etc, there are two components you must consider: What you want; and, How you want to feel. If you truly feel good about what you have asked for, you will affirm it to yourself - if not to others - and you will act on the inspirations you receive. Faith without action is something different than faith. Here are three-simple steps for creating a new reality:
1. Ask - Ask for what you want by thinking about it in as much specific detail as you can - and in such a way that you feel grateful and happy. Your thoughts are your request; and the feelings caused by those thoughts are also a request.
2. Affirm - Declare the reality you desire. If you weigh 200-pounds, and wish to weigh 175-pounds, declare that you are, “a fit, healthy, happy 175-pounds;” and visualize this happy, new you. Think of ways other people have achieved your desires and make plans, or simply imagine, how you might get from one place to another. All you need is a possibility - and to affirm that possibility to yourself. All things are possible; affirm your dreams until you believe in them.
3. Act - When you believe in your dreams, you will act on them - or they might seem to “magically” manifest for you. In either case, if an obvious action step presents itself to you, you must take it. It is your dream, after all; it is the taking of those steps that constitutes the “living” of that dream. And, when you act, act boldly and with confidence.
If at first you don’t succeed, Adjust and Achieve… Don’t give up on your dreams just because they haven’t come true - yet! If you first efforts fall short, or don’t seem to be producing the results you truly want, then Adjust to the feedback you received until you Achieve the desired outcome, conditions, or situation.
Adjust - Adjust your plans and actions based on feedback, or results. Be flexible, dynamic, and willing to change your approach in order to fine-tune your ability to receive or achieve your goal or desire.
Achieve - Achieve anything you can imagine by being bold, creative, flexible, and open and willing to be surprised at how your dreams are delivered to you.

If you’ve spent much of your life dismissing your talents and doubting your capabilities, it can seem like an impossible goal to begin believing in yourself. Since believing in yourself is such a vital part of goal achievement, overcoming your doubt and disbelief is crucial if you want to improve your life.
Believing in yourself is a simple matter of changing the way you think about yourself and your capabilities. Remember that negative thinking is a habit, whether it applies to you or the circumstances of your life.
In order to develop a strong belief in yourself, try these 3 steps:
Acknowledge your potential.
Self-doubt is often the result of an ongoing barrage of assumptions. You assume you cannot succeed at your goals because you haven’t succeeded at many things before. You assume you have no talent because your third-grade teacher once told you so. You assume you are destined for a mediocre life because you’ve never pushed yourself beyond your limits.

When you feel unmotivated, changing your mind-set can seem as strenuous as hauling yourself out of a sticky pit of mud. Not only do you feel unmotivated, you feel unmotivated about trying to GET motivated!
Luckily, the mind is very susceptible to persuasion - if you use the right stimulators.
Here are 3 simple ways to motivate yourself:
Remind yourself why your goal is important.
Sometimes it’s easy to lose your motivation if the end result doesn’t seem as important as it did when you first set the goal. Most of us are fired up with enthusiasm when we first set our goals, but over time that fire begins to die down.
In order to rekindle the flames, revisit your goal in full detail! If you kept notes about what you wanted to achieve, re-read them now. If not, simply take a trip down memory lane. What will your goal do for you? Why was it once important to you? Is it still important to you? Important enough to override the temptation to avoid working on it?

When you’ve got a case of the blues it can be difficult to see an easy way out of them. By nature, emotions tend to feed off of each other. You might start with a mild sense of sadness when you first wake up in the morning, only to find yourself spiraling down into a full-blown case of doldrums as the day progresses.
Before you know it, you’re focusing in on every possible worst-case scenario, putting a negative spin on everything people say to you, and otherwise spreading misery wherever you go.
Avoiding this chronic state of unhappiness can be as simple as taking action to lift your spirits before you start the downhill slide!
Here are 3 easy ways to do that:
Choose your attitude.
When you first wake up in the morning, remind yourself that the quality of your day is entirely up to you! Sure, unexpected events could happen, but even those can be kept in perspective by choosing the way you want to react to them. One little thing does not have the power to ruin your whole day unless you grant it that power.

Low self-confidence has the power to limit you in all areas of your life. It can hold you back in your career, prevent you from having healthy relationships, and even keep you disconnected from your inner power.
Boosting your confidence is often a simple matter of changing the way you see yourself. If you hold a negative self-image because of painful experiences from the past or constant negative reinforcement, creating a more positive self-image will help you to begin rebuilding your confidence.
Here are 3 simple ways to begin seeing yourself in a more positive light:
Fake it until you make it.
This is an old method, but one that can work surprisingly well if you give it enough effort. When you “pretend” that something is true, you perform a mental shift from one state to another. You are, in essence, moving yourself from one “reality” to another. While this usually won’t bring about long-lasting change, it can definitely help in a pinch!
The next time you’re out in a public place, pretend you are the most confident person in the world. Imagine that you are completely secure in your own capabilities and completely accepting of yourself as a unique and valuable person. Read the rest of this entry »

If you’ve ever found yourself expecting the worst without clear reasons why, you were probably the victim of a negative-thinking habit. Rampant pessimism can be annoying at the least and chronically destructive at worst. It can take over your mood, mind-set, career, relationships - and life in general - making it impossible to hope for anything good.
The good news is that pessimism for most people is nothing more than a habit - a habit that can be broken with a little conscious effort.
Below you’ll find 3 simple suggestions for turning pessimism into optimism:
Challenge the doom predictions.
When your mind is ruled by a pessimistic outlook, you automatically imagine the worst possible outcome and hold it as your expectation. Even worse, you usually have no “evidence” to support your belief that things will go wrong, you are just choosing to think they will.

Lack of self-discipline can often be an annoying “catch-22.” You find that you need a certain measure of self-discipline in order to become more disciplined, and not having it can cause you to go around in circles trying to make positive changes in your life.
If you are struggling to build up your level of self-discipline, it may not be as difficult as you think - provided you start with these 3 simple steps:
Start with willpower.
Self-discipline eventually becomes a habit, just like any other activity you do on a regular basis. Until then, however, you are likely faced with the challenge of overcoming your other habits while trying to form new ones.
