REPROGRAM Your MIND and Destroy LIMITING BELIEFS

Mindfulness and Meditation

WHAT EXACTLY IS MINDFULNESS?
Mindfulness is not just a way of thinking about others and their state of mind, but it can also be used a form of meditation. Using Mindfulness Meditation allows you to focus on the moment, becoming aware of your senses and what you are feeling right then and there. When you are able to focus just on that particular moment, there is no need to try to interpret things or make judgments about how you feel. You are simply present. If you have ever studied Eckhart Tolle or other spiritual teachers, you realize that the present moment is all that actually exists. The past no longer exists, and the future has not yet come. So focusing, being mindful, of the moment, can help you relax and eliminate stress. Think about all the time we spend planning for, or worrying about the future, thinking negative thoughts about the past, worrying about all the things we need to do - pick up the kids from school, make dinner tonight, pay the bills, etc. All those things are draining and can even be exhausting. When you are able to be mindful, you are able to put those things away, and focus your attention on the present moment, which reduces your stress and anxiety. Mindfulness meditation can be very powerful!

  WHY SHOULD I MEDITATE? For years, spiritual teachers and their students have been practicing meditation, and espousing its benefits. Now, thanks to advances in modern science and medicine, there are actually many clinical trials that scientifically back up these claims. It is amazing that for hundreds of years people have known that meditation works, but there is always a certain percentage of the population that needs to know how and why before they will believe it. There are so many studies now that provide empirical data as to the how and why of meditation, and its effects on the body and brain. Those studies are so diverse that they need to be in a separate article on their own. But suffice to say that the overall evidence of these studies show that meditation is effective for reducing stress, anxiety, pain, depression, and even a host of "medical" conditions and disease.

 The best way to develop your mindfulness meditation routine is to practice, practice, practice. Do so, and you may be truly amazed with the results.

Mindset Vs Skill - How to Succeed in Business

An online mentor of mine, Jennifer Allwood, shares that "business is 20% strategy and 80% mindset". While the "strategy" of a business is very important, to be successful you must have the right mindset about yourself, your company and your customers.

If you are a small business owner and you are looking for the "secret strategy" to change your business, you could spend all of your time in search of strategy. For example, scroll through Facebook and you will see the 100's of trainers, coaches and experts who are trying to sell you the latest "gadget" for success.

Stop enrolling in every Free Group and Free Download that you see. You are WASTING your time by chasing a shiny new object that is just not out there.

Learn the skills you need, know your audience, and stay plugged in to your industry. After that? It's all about Mindset.

How do you know if you have a mindset problem?
You keep searching for the "right" skill, the "right" training or that "right" coach that will give you the Magic Pill or Secret Sauce for success. Here are a few examples that might indicate you have a mindset problem:

• Complain about the success of others
• Enroll in every course/training you see on social media
• Continue to ask for the Right Words to describe your product or what you do
• Buy every planner in search of a better system
• Always busy but not completing Income Producing Activities
• Not consistent in small, daily activities

If you are searching constantly for skills, then you don't believe in yourself or your business. To succeed, you need the mindset component along with the skills.

Subconscious Mind
Your Subconscious Mind runs the show based on unfiltered information known as beliefs. Your Mind believes everything that you think. For example, when you say these things, your mind believes it:

• Why am I so stupid?
• I will never get that promotion.
• I'm not very pretty.
• I'm not smart enough.
• I'll never be successful like "Suzy".

Each and every time you say these phrases out loud and in your mind, your brain believes the statement! Next, you must learn how to change your mindset.

How to Change Your Mindset?
If we know that changing our mindset is key, then why are we not doing it? And most importantly how do we change our mindset? It's not easy, but keep it simple and you can Change Your Mindset!

There are several recommendations that I can make for changing your mindset.

• Personal Development?-?I highly recommend Mel Robbins and her resources.
• Daily Affirmations! Write them on your bathroom mirror or maybe a Pinterest board.
• Eliminate Distractions and get new friends
• Don't allow yourself to say negative things about yourself
• Make it an everyday habit

To get the life you want, you must let go of old limiting beliefs. Tackle the mindset beliefs that are keeping you from moving forward, keeping you from reaching your greatness!

If you have a small business, please know that you must have the skills for your business. But, you must also have the right mindset for success. You need skills and mindset!

How do you continually feed your mindset?
