The Simplest But Best Way for Anything You Want

This is the most important and best personal development advice ever. I don’t care what you want to achieve, change, or fight for. Anything you need to succeed are only two things, I’m serious. let’s start – you need:

  • the ability to be aware of the present, your actions and your thoughts.
  • the ability to stop immediately anything you are doing.

Just in case you do not understand what I mean, I will provide you with some real life examples.

Health & Weight Loss:
To lose weight you need to control your eating habits and body exercise. Be aware of the amount and the quality of the food you are eating. Be aware of the amount of exercises and movements you do. If you’re aware and catch yourself doing something wrong, use your ability to stop it immediately. Then refocus and try some other way.

Money, Work & To-Do Lists:
Be aware of what tasks you are doing right now. You could do the most important tasks or you could use unimportant tasks as an excuse. Also be aware of the results you get. If you catch yourself procastinating, immediately stop what you are doing and choose another task.

Relationships:
Be aware of your way of interacting with other people. Be aware of what they say, listen to them carefully and speak consciously. Be able to stop any wrong behaviour immediately to change your way of interaction positively.

Exercise:
Be aware of your body movements and do them conciously, listen to your body and push yourself, but be aware of the limit. Stop immediately if you are doing it wrong, focusing on losing time or recognizing negative thoughts. Your body deserves your full attention when exercising.

Creativity:
Emerge yourself fully into your creative process and lose sight of anything around you. Become your creative output, leaving your position as the creator behind and blending with the creation.  Be aware of the beauty, but stop immediately and focus again if you recognize doing it only half-assed.

Spirituality:
When meditating, be aware of your thoughts and the stillness between them. Just be aware of all that is, be the observer of it. But if you start to identifying yourself with your thoughts again, stop immediately the second you recognize it and grow your awareness again.

That’s all you need. Go get it!

Certainty is a creation, not an observation

I often feel uncertain about what to do next, what to do about life in general. Which path do I want to go? There are endless possibilities and the discovery that I could be whatever I want doesn’t help me much. I still need to decide which path I want to follow.

Everyday I hear sentences like “I don’t know what to do. God give me a sign. Higher Self what is my life purpose? What do I really love to do?” in my mind and believe me, that is not empowering!

I am uncertain about my future. But Steve Pavlina said in his article called Abuse of Power that certainty is a creation, not an observation. That would mean that my act of looking FOR certainty is senseless. You just need to create it. What a shame.

It’s foolish to act like a victim of your own uncertainty when you’re the one who’s creating it in the first place.” – Steve Pavlina

Okay. I’m certain. I know what I want to do with my life.

This month I want to take a quantum leap in taking action outside of my comfort-zone, having courage and living consciously. Let’s see if this decision will affect me on March 31st.

Happiness is a choice

It’s weird, isn’t it? We are seeking happiness everywhere and through anything. We tend to eat to be happy. We buy more stuff to be happy. We exercise to see ourselves in the mirror and feel happy. We work hard to watch our seeds grow and feel happy. We contribute to the whole to be a part of it – and feel happy. We are doing so much stuff to feel happy, but happiness is right here waiting for us.

We only need to choose a though that feels a little bit better than the last one. By lifting our emotional vibration on step at a time, we feel better on step at a time. From pain to hate, from hate to frustration, from frustration to sadness, from sadness to pity, from pity to hope and from hope all the way up to joy. One step at a time.

It’s so weird. But all we need to do is to choose to feel good now. Mh..
