Getting More Out of Life
return to www.landmarc.info
A friend is someone who understands your past, believes in your future, and accepts you just the way you are.
Can you accept that?
The other day, I was in a session with a client, and she was sharing how her network marketing business wasn’t going the way she wanted. Or, more accurately, how she was frustrated with her activity (the lack of, rather) in her business, and….. with life in general, basically……..
My question to her was: “can you accept that?”
She looked at me blankly, and said “yes, I think so.” “Really?”, was my reply. “How does this situation make you feel when you think about it?” “Oh, it creates a knot in my gut!”, she responded immediately.
So, was she accepting the situation as it was right there and then? Obviously not!
My conviction is that, if you look at (a) situation(s) in your life and you have negative bubbles coming up in your physical system, you are NOT accepting what is going on. Your vibration will lower, and you will perceive more and more things to be not the way you want them (Law of Attraction, remember!?).
In Business as well as in our personal life, non-acceptance of the current state of things will lead to erratic and frantic action. For what reason? To GET RID of what we don’t like, to CHANGE the situation, to OVERCOME our difficulties! That’s the worst place to start contemplating action from. Admittedly, sometimes fear and negativity can be a great initiator for action. If you are faced with a grizzly bear, for instance, boy, will you RUN!
Usually, though, you’re not feeling too great if you have to act from fear, worry or frustration, and why would you want to be feeling that way……?
Acceptance is key. Acceptance will lead to a clear head, and to clear and constructive action, geared towards what it is you DO WANT. There are several ways to become more accepting. Being aware of your Dreamtime Personality Type is one. Awareness and knowledge of Neuro Linguistic Programming is another. The most effective one for the “I want results immediately” people, is body awareness: breathe!!!!
Become aware of your breathing pattern. Feel the airflow in and out your nostrils, in and out of your body as you inhale and exhale. When your thoughts distract you, get back to the breathing a.s.a.p. Keep this exercise up for about 5-10 minutes, preferably twice a day. Within “no-time” you will start to feel more balanced and poised for action.
The only thing you have to deal with, cope with in “reality”—as opposed to our internal brain ramblings, which I call surreality, is this very moment. Ask yourself what the "problem" is you have right now. Not next year, tomorrow, or five minutes from now.
What’s not right RIGHT NOW?
And RIGHT NOW?
And RIGHT NOW?
And RIGHT NOW?
If you can come up with something, you are not present!
Acceptance assists you with becoming present; the more you practice, the better you get at it, and the better you find your results will be. And you will feel good physically as well!
Set a Landmarc:
Firstly: where are you having “reactions”? What gets to you, in business, health, relationships, finances, etc.? What DON’T you want? The first thing to do is to accept that you are not accepting! Accept that you are still reacting!
Secondly: what is it you DO want? What is the reverse of the situation you are in? Can you become specific about your outcome, please? The more specific you can get, the easier it is for your brain to “wrap” itself around it.
Thirdly: start doing the breathing exercise! Twice a day.
Lastly: be patient. In the beginning you will find “it doesn’t work” (can you accept that?). Practice makes perfect, though. Keep at it, and you will find the benefits really quick!
There’s a lot to be said about breathe and breathing. And justly so. It is the ultimate “centering tool”. That’s why we use sighs so often; they take us into the present, temporarily!
Start using this extremely powerful tool, and do approach me for additional profiling, NLP and coaching tools and techniques; the package is a powerhouse!
And for a bit of fun:
Have a laugh; you’ll be guaranteed to be struck by enlightening!
Until next time!
