It’s very difficult. I want to point out this takes months of work – primarily for the reason that procrastination is an emotional groove that you have to pave over and take control of. That’s why this site exists. Change is very difficult because your emotions are what are triggering the choices you think are available to you in the moment. Everyone has days where all the doors seem open, and vice versa, it’s not consistent if you don’t practice it.
Simply put, emotions dictate the way you think and who you think you are. To fully understand that is to understand you’re out of control, until you claim the abiIity to actually make your choices out of your own experience, out of thin air. That requires you to constantly push your comfort zone and get out of your mind, for you to stop being the person you think you are in your head and really live. That’s a monumental challenge. It has to become the purpose of your life. The goal here is to take charge of your emotional grooves and build your own so what you want to see happen – happens automatically. Outrageous joy, your birthright, is yours to take and overwhelm you!
Stick at it. It’s so invaluable. You’ll have mornings where you wake up and your emotions are totally scattered, your thoughts are everywhere, but you have to be the proverbial sheepdog and corall them into the pen, so to speak – write them down and keep fighting. One day you’ll wake up and it’ll become ridiculously easy, you just have to stick at it and undo the bad habits that others have encouraged in you. Just remember – your deepest choices are the sum and total of your life. You’re not going to remember this site, or browsing on the net, or eating bad food, or bad relationships, or any of that stuff, in 10 years, only the stuff you really enjoyed. Do only that stuff and nothing else.
I can’t underestimate the importance of taking a 10 minute break – complete break – from everything every 50 minutes, so your mind and body can renew and cycle their energies. If you’ve ever heard the saying that things in their abundance become their opposite, this is why.
I highly recommend drinking 2 glasses of water and doing pushups or situps first thing in the morning too. Try a flax seed oil capsule, earplugs and a sleep mask whilst you sleep. I have not had a bad night’s sleep since I started doing that.
Finally, I want to share some affirmations I run through at least daily – not New Years Resolutions – daily committing sayings I run through literally FIRST THING in the morning, to set the whole frame for the day. When your mind starts accepting them almost as a given, then it starts looking for ways to fill in the blanks. They’re all unrealistic for a reason.
