Supportive and Winning Mindset for Success

Today’s Inspiration

Your supportive and winning mindset is essential for your success. If you have a negative critic inside of you that continually controls your thoughts, then you will never achieve what you say you want in life without the stress and strain. If you want to achieve what you say you want in every area of your life, then begin to tame your inner critic – do not make it wrong – just catch it and replace it with a positive and supportive self-statement.

Coaching Tip

The inner critic is sometimes known as the chitter chatter going on inside your mind. The Buddha’s call it ‘monkey mind’. To actualize what you say you want in life, you need to become conscious about what you keep telling yourself, about yourself, which will be your automatic beliefs that will determine your life outcomes.

For example, if you keep telling yourself “I don’t have enough time and I never have enough time to get things done”; then your belief IS that time is always limited. Your body will feel like it is always chasing time, with the stress that goes along with this way of thinking. This is purely because you have been telling yourself that “I don’t have enough time” and it is now your Truth – IT IS NOT THE TRUTH. 

Change your beliefs through positive self-statements on a daily basis and begin to tell yourself “I have plenty of time”.  Yes, it needs to be repetitive until your new belief is automatic. This also applies to Money, Relationships, Business,  Confidence etc.

To Confidently take your Life and your Business to the next level of Success,  refer to my book :

Living with Positive Beliefs

Today’s Inspiration

You live in a world of your beliefs. You were not born with these beliefs and they can be changed. Unconsciously you program your subconscious mind like a computer. Every moment of every day you automatically attract people, ideas and circumstances that support your thoughts and  beliefs. It doesn’t matter whether those thoughts are positive or negative, your subsconscious always says ‘Yes’.

Coaching Tip

Begin today to create a new and positive reality for yourself and your life. Start by becoming more aware of what thoughts are feeding your subconscious mind. Become the guard of your mind and choose the thoughts you want your subconscious to say ‘Yes’ to.

Increase Your Energy With Strong Foundations

Today’s Inspiration

It is important to identify the things that you love to do in your life now, so that you can maintain a strong foundation to achieve your vision. If you keep moving forward in life and business; and focus only on achieving your goals, without managing other important things at the same time (such as… important relationships, your health and fitness, time off to rejuvenate your batteries) then you will consistently have the feeling of ‘it’s still not enough’ when you do achieve your goals.

Coaching Tip

Look into your life and ask yourself ‘what brings me joy?’ Another way of asking this is ‘what makes my heart sing?’ I can always tell when I do not do the things that bring me joy during my week, because I start to feel overwhelmed and low in energy. So what I have done to keep on top of this is to create my 10 Energising Weekly Habits list. Make your own list based on what brings you natural energy flow each week and maintain this so that you can have a strong foundation for momentum.

Exercise Does NOT Need to be a Struggle!

Today’s Inspiration

How often do you find yourself wanting to exercise out in the fresh air because you know that you always feel good afterwards, yet you struggle to get yourself out the door. The secret is to feel the memory of those good feelings you know you get when moving your body in ways you thoroughly enjoy (key word here!) – before you get out the door.

Coaching Tip

With my background as a metaphysical wholistic personal trainer this would have to be one of the most powerful methods that I use in helping myself and many others to get themselves naturally inspired to exercise. So many of us think that exercise means hard work and I would like to help you to blow that myth out of the water. When you choose what you enjoy doing and change your mindset from ‘exercise’ to ‘enjoyable body movement’, then you will automatically think of things you enjoy participating in. Notice your beliefs about exercise and stop putting yourself through the struggle by choosing a lifestyle of enjoyable body movements on a daily basis. Go easy on yourself and begin today to move your body in ways you enjoy.

Your Relationship with Money – What’s Holding You Back!

Have you ever asked yourself the question…”What is my relationship like with money”?

Financial freedom does not begin with your bank account – it actually begins with your thoughts. These thoughts generally stem from your past beliefs about money.
Do you wonder why your money situation in the present keeps showing up the same way as your money situation in your past? If so, then your future is more than likely going to look the same, unless you have a look into your beliefs about money and what might be holding you back.

The first step is to think back to the earliest memory that you can recall when you decided something about money and what it meant to you. Perhaps for you it meant creating pleasure; being about to have an ice-cream when you asked or going to the movies with your friends – or fights between your parents or maybe the feeling that there was never enough and you always missed out. Your own memories about money will tell you everything about who you were, and whether you are still living it out today.

Whatever your money messages were, notice what feelings come up for you today around money and are you still living with those feelings today. Become conscious about your money messages from the past and what beliefs might be holding you back from creating the life your desire now and for your future.

Here is a list of questions to ask yourself which may prompt your memory about money.

• Did you hear your parents fight about money?
• Did you bring friends back to your house or were you ashamed?
• Did you wish you had things your friends had?
• Did you get pocket money? If so, was it the same as your friends or siblings?
• What did your parents say about money and what didn’t they say?
• Did you have to make excuses to your friends when asked to go out somewhere?
• What hidden messages (emotional) did you receive about money?
• Did you get special treats as a child or did you have to be good to earn them?
• Did you feel like your friend’s had better clothes than you?

Remember, this is an exercise to support you in breaking through money patterns and habits – resolving any emotions holding you back – not to add to it. When you do this exercise, please keep this in mind because the people you grew up with did the best they could with the knowledge, awareness and resources. There is always a positive insight inside of every negative, if you look for it.

Look money directly in the eye and face your fears to claim your power back. Unconscious habits will always keep you in a place of self-doubt, unworthiness, insecurity and fear. This then paralysis you into thinking negatively about all the things you say you cannot do, have or be. This will keep you stuck with a feeling of lack and limited thinking which will hinder your success of attracting more money.

Once you have identified what has been holding you back, then create a powerful statement or affirmation for yourself. This will support you in creating a new truth for yourself when it comes to money. For example; I am successful and powerful now receiving $10,000 or more per month. Write your powerful statement out 25 times a day and/or say it at least 100 times a day until it becomes reality and keep going beyond.

Action steps to support your new truth are very important. Remember actions without belief are a waste of time because you will continually keep sabotaging yourself. Stay accountable by managing your money by becoming aware about your spending habits. Seek financial advice if you need it.

I wish you all great prosperity, success and abundance.

10 Steps to Living with a Strong Foundation

I remember back in 1984 when I was training for the National Touch Titles and my trainer gave me a sheet of paper faced down. As he handed them around to the selection squad of 20 team members he said ‘when you turn this sheet over and read it, it will change the way you see things, not only on the sports field, but also in your life’.

My initial reaction was… ‘What has this got to do with training for the National Titles?’ Maybe I heard him wrong (my inner voice said) as I could feel the excitement rise telling myself ‘It may be a new tactical play’ (which was what I loved creating and making happen). I then turned the paper over and much to my surprise I read these words…

The Winner’s Creed

If you think you are beaten, you are.

If you think you dare not, you won’t.

If you like to win, but think you can’t.

It’s almost certain you won’t.

If you think you’ll lose, you’re lost.

For out in the world we find,

success begins with a person’s will –

it’s all in the state of mind.

If you think you’re outclassed, you are.

You’ve got to think high to rise.

You’ve got to be sure of yourself

Before you can ever win a prize.

Life’s battles don’t always go

to the stronger or faster person.

But sooner or later the person who wins

is the one who thinks they can.

- Unknown -

I looked up at the trainer and he said… ‘You have trained your body, it is even more important to train your mind and to think like winners’. That was the start of my introduction to the psychology of winning and the power of the mind. That sheet of paper handed to me 24 years ago was one of the first major turning points in my life to which I share this same philosophy with many people I work with.

It is as simple as… ‘what you focus on in life – is what you will create’. Creating a positive and healthy mindset is so important to support you in attracting what you want in life. Observe how often you catch yourself talking or complaining to others about what you don’t want to happen or what has happened. Do you resolve it or do you find yourself repeating the same pattern?

As you move through your day you are constantly talking to yourself, whether you are aware of this or not. You are constantly telling yourself what you think, and feel about your experiences and interactions. These self-statements are absorbed and retained by your subconscious mind for future use. They form powerful directives that are subliminally put into action.

If you tell yourself, ‘I am successful’, then the message you are passing on to your body is ‘be successful’. Your subsconscious mind does not interpret this as, ‘he/she really does not know what he/she is talking about! It responds literally to the directive it receives from the conscious mind. In turn, the message the body receives is, ‘be successful’!

Words trigger off powerful associative images, especially if they are backed up by strong emotive feelings. Whether they are favorable or unfavorable it is taken in as truth. How you communicate with yourself determines your outcome.

In the computer world there is a saying ‘garbage in, garbage out’. The same applies to your mind. Quality input = quality output. You deserve the best. Be the guard of your mind and play ‘positive FM – not negative FM’.

Think about what it is you want to attract in your life and hold onto that vision with unshakeable faith. Take small achievable steps towards your vision and acknowledge yourself along the journey. Remember that the fullest contentment and enjoyment is in the journey – not the destination.

“A person cannot directly choose his circumstances, but he can choose his thoughts, and so indirectly, yet surely, shape his circumstances.”                      – James Allen -
