How Managing your Conditioning part 2 of  Wake up… or never live

  • Shop for a minute, do your beliefs serve you…who dictates your self image?
  • Did you design, your self image consciously… Or was your self image a “gift” painted by another?
  • Why should anyone blindly live by the doctrines, conditioning or label given to them by society, without questioning what effect, it has on your psychology, your world view, and ultimately your happiness. I lived by a limited view of myself as being dyslexic and I carried many limiting belief and associations.

First Law of Transformation… choose your beliefs

Are their any blockages affecting your performance if so?
Its time to live by a new doctrine. Ask yourself what beliefs and character traits do you need to adopt to move you forward or be more successful. In my case I had to believe I could read even when I could not read the words on the page. When I did recognise words it gave me hope, I continued to imagine my self reading bigger and bigger books and learning more and more.

Second law… see yourself in the moment

Imagine popping a pill or pushing a button to select your desired behaviour, talent or skill. Imagine transforming yourself into a more understanding, calm, loving parent or that shrude focused professional, imagine having tones of self confidence, so much so that walking into a full room of strangers and freely socializing and being perfectly comfortable in your skin. Imagine keeping your cool in the middle of a heated in counter with someone you have to work with or live with, imagine having the confidence to stand up on stage and casually speak to a whole audience like you were speaking to yourself in the bath room mirror, imagine having the confidence to just walk up to a perfect stranger and converse with that person as if you were life long friends, imagine being free from food, nicotine, alcohol, drug, sex addiction or phobias.

Third law… Work on your self… and write your own script

At this moment in time, you can live up to or raise your ideals and be more then you are displaying. First you must know that you literally making and maintaining your current self image in your subconscious based upon your thoughts, feeling, beliefs and choices not to forget the input coming into your eyes and ears from your surroundings.

Fourth law… manage your Mental image – Draw a new picture

Your self image is held in your subconscious and affirmed by your environment. Working from the basis that your self image is affirmed by your environment, we can start to work with this equation, new environment equals new associations equal new self image. I moved from in front of the TV to the library in front of books . I made reading and writing apart of my new self imagine. As I made the shift form being a dyslexic to an able reader I supported my new self image and belief by reading and writing. I read daily knowing if it is just improved by 1 percent it was better then 1 percent decline. I habitually read before bed and when I wake in the morning, I read waiting in queues, I read on the bus or train, I read while walking I always had a book to hand. Along with reading, I drew writing into my new self image, I wrote poems, stories and songs and I used writing as an opportunity to note my thoughts and feeling.

Fifth law… positive and inquisitive mental attitude

I made adjustments to my thoughts, feelings and beliefs
By developing a positive and inquisitive mental attitude. This allowed me to seek out and take opportunities when they came along such entering and reading my work at poetry show that’s something that would have scared the pants of me 18 mouths earlier.

Six law Expand your perspective

Learn to see in full color, life is multi-dimensional so there are an infinite number of perspective on any given subject and know one person has the ultimate view. Don’t let someone’s opinions or labels trap your mind in a box. Expand and deepen your perspective by understanding what makes your own mind tick and by learning more about….I leave the blank for you to fill in.

Seventh law… Build your character

Be choosy about what goes in your head. If you want to think, act or develop a particular character trait, start by reading, watching or studying the thing that the character you want to become does. Do this daily and you will notice how what you think and talk about will begins to change…. mirroring or Modeling is guaranteed to speed up your character development.

Eighth law… Be proactive in conditioning your mind and Psychology

Be an attentive gardener and challenge your conditioning and beliefs – does it hold up to scrutiny? Be a better gate keeper which means that you are going to have to hold yourself accountable for your time, choice of environment including your place of work, your choice of friends, what you read, watch and listen to, be conscious of the seeds you plant in your mind and the minds of others.

Ninth law… Don’t abuse your time… Tenth law… Do what you know you should do ….     Eleventh law…  Be a good manager of self

Once you learn what to do… do it. Doing what you know you should do will strengthen the integrity of new beliefs by Reinforce you beliefs or doctrines with action. Do what you know you should do, this means you must take action and be a better leader of yourself.

Think about it, when it comes to giving out advice I bet you give it out like a pro, we all do … most of the time its good advice, if only we could take our own advice and do what we already know. Deep down inside we know what we should be doing in a number of situations but at times we fail to do it, sometimes we just don’t live up to our own expectations, I realized this one day as I was playing computer games, I new there was better things that I could be doing with my time such as reading a book or writing. Somewhere in my heads I had got my wires crossed resulting in a lack of congruency…I got it right in time.

Final thought and summary… Be active in Reconditioning your mind
- Take responsibility for your conditioning…

You are the gate keeper to your mind You possess the keys to your subconscious, be conscious of the fact that your mind is a garden.
All the seeds you put in your mind grows whether you consciously place them there or not, your mind will become a beautiful garden or a waste land – garbage in garbage out.

The potentialities or opportunities that a wider realities hold are too precious to be left to chance and too precarious to be left unchecked on default mode – review your actions and beliefs.

Reality is fluid, this means that your personal perspective on reality is always changing based upon your knowledge, feelings and experiences, you can be more active in the process by moving toward the experiences you want to have in your reality and choosing what you focus on and act towards which will ultimately shift your perspective.

Lessons,  from the coach of the month  Anthony Robbins
Learning from his story.

The big man, the giant of personal development Anthony robbins is the mentor of the month. Anthony Robbins is followed by millions around the world, if you aren’t a student of his work, you’re simple missing out.

Robbins is a man after my own heart- Wow, this man been doing his research and living his work, that’s why he is on top of his game. His philosophies into a peek performance life style and personal development are profound and holistic.

Taking over the game – man after my own heart

Starting out with only a high school education he has risen through the ranks, head strong on his mission of personal development. He has done it all, worked as a janitor, a sales manager, promoted seminars for Jim Rohn, taught neuro-linguistic programming, and developed own system.    His early work has laid the foundations for the giant we see today.
Robbins is a professed Researcher looking for the keys to peak performance.  He claims to have read hundreds of books in the area of personal development and psychology looking for what makes the mind ticks.

Robbins has been Honored, as one of the ten most “Outstanding People in the World” by the International Chamber of Commerce. He can boast having worked with people from all walks of life, President to athletes, world-class musicians to Fortune 500 CEO’s. Robbins has addressed members of  British Parliament to Harvard Business School.   This former janitor now the owner of nine companies and the head of a national foundation that organizes and sponsors projects to serve the homeless, inner-city youth, prisoners and the elderly. Robbins has made his mark on the world touching and influencing more people then he can ever meet in person, he has made a great contribution to the world with his work.

His two books Unlimited Power and Awaken the Giant have sold millions of copies, his seminars, “Unleash the Power Within, Life Mastery, The Competitive Edge and “Date with Destiny” are taught worldwide if you aren’t a student of his work, your simple missing out.

The big man, the giant of personal development. as you see Anthony Robbins is not, just any coach he is a super coach a genius of peek performance and personal development.

Being a student of Robbins I would love to share some of his lessons and insights on designing the life you desire VS. making a living. I recommend you getting his CD box sets and books, that’s if you haven’t already got his material, if you have some of Anthony Robbins work, listen or read it and refresh your memory, repeation is the mother of skill as Robbins says.

My parents says … if you lie with dogs your going to catch flees – which = positive associations build useful habits.

Lesson 1. make a list of Role Models

Anthony Robbins says that in order to succeed with your goals long term or sort term an individual most be conscious of the seeds which you plant in the garden of your mind or you’ll end up with weeds. I agree with this statement whole heatedly. What you occupy your time with, watch, read or listen to, the people you associate with have a profound impact on your mental and psychological state. all these factors have a molding effect on your mind, that’s why you should have a set of Role Models. Having great Role Models is a major contributing factor to Robbins success.

Develop the habit of perpetual learning, read and develop your intelligence daily

On the subject of making a living VS designing a life, Robbins says to move beyond the mundane day to day living and work towards a set of five goals.
Your five goals should consist of personal development goals, business and financial goals, spiritual and life style and family goals.

Lesson 2. Be inspired and discover your true potential.

Anthony Robbins says you must discover or create goals big enough and grand enough to inspire and challenge you to move beyond your current limits and discover your true potential.
You should feel inspired when you think of your goals, if you are not inspired you probably don’t want it enough, in that case you may have the wrong targets so you should re-evaluate them, if it is what you want you have to work on developing a deeper interest and desire, the book – Think and grow Rich will lead you through the science of conditioning Napoleon Hill gives detailed instructions in the art of building desire.

Lesson 3. Your limits today do not have to be your limits tomorrow.

Robbins tells and reminds us that our current conditions do not reflect our ultimate potential, but rather the size and quality of what you are currently focusing on sets this condition. This is just so important, the size and quality of what we hold, what your attention and focus is on dictates your destiny.

Lesson 4. Live consciously
Its all about being conscious of what seeds you’re planting in the mind. The seeds that you sow should assist you in your growth and development in the long run and short term. So, consciously build your self, use books, life coaches, read this site, have positive friend and role models, use hobbies to develop your passion and skills.

Who knows what forces have conspired to make such a great individual but one thing I know for sure is that Robbins has been a great student of the human condition and peek performance and has alined him self with the teachings of powerful learnerd role models either in the flesh or in books, Robbins has benefited from their wisdom. When this force of nature known as Anthony Robbins talks “progressive people”, listen and take note.
