The Most Empowering Habit

I'm guided to write and speak frequently on the topic of Right Action. Basically right action simply means that we are consciously aligning our actions and decisions with our greatest goals and dreams.
 
In so doing, we make steady and positive progress toward all of the wonderful things that we envision for our life and business.

Your greatest dreams and goals are guided by your "Personal Keys to Success". These are the values and life experiences that you cherish most.
 
When you align with what I like to call your "Unique Definition of Success", that's when you become 100% alive and know the excitement and enthusiasm that comes from being true to what is uniquely important to you.

For there is no "one size fits all" success template that is right for everyone.

The sense of liberation and joy, that aliveness that comes from being connected every day to something that has personal meaning and significance to you, comes from your uniqueness.

It's all about what makes your heart sing! This is your Unique Definition of Success.

So you may think that this is a tall order to fill, if you allow yourself to start focusing on all of the "'have tos" and the "shoulds". If you find yourself thinking, well that would be nice, but first I have to take care of everyone else first, or I'm too busy taking care of emergencies to focus on my own dreams.

STOP. Get out of your own way.

Isn't it time to give yourself the gift of accepting the truth that YOU can BE DO or CREATE ANYTHING YOU IMAGINE? This is a good moment to release the analytical part of you brain, that can get in the way or your biggest hopes, dreams and desires. So tell FRED (the analyzer and DOER part of you) to sit this one out. Instead invite GINGER (the DREAMER and trusting part of your nature) to lead for a while.

Accept that you have the power and the ability to be or do whatever you desire. That is always step one, if you want to make real and lasting progress. Have faith and believe in your Self. Then a very simple way to make lasting and life-transforming change is to do ONE SIMPLE THING.

ALLOW YOUR DAILY ROUTINES TO SUPPORT YOUR BIGGEST GOALS AND DREAMS.

Too often we set a goal or intention and then do nothing to align with it. Help yourself succeed!
Once you have clarity about what you truly want in your life and business, then all you really need to do, is take care of the daily habits and everything else will fall into place.

Life will be easier, and synchronistic events will come into play. Suddenly the floodgates open and you will find ideal relationships and circumstances unfolding in your experience. It's like the universe is lining up to support you.

What's really happening is you are aligning with what you want with right thought and right action in support of your goals and dreams. You're attracting more help, because you're sending out a signal that matches what you want.

The easiest and simplest way to get aligned quickly and consistently is to establish a daily routine that helps you get out of your own way.

So what is that #1 most empowering habit?

Well it probably will not come as a surprise to you, for it has been taught by wise guides for thousands of years, and more recently by scientists too.

It's simple. Make time every day to pause and go within in.

Too often we allow frenzied activity to determine the quality and value of our days. But each day builds upon the last, and so over time unintentional thoughts, decisions and actions keep you stuck in the status quo.

If you want more: time with family, money, playtime, joy, ideal customers, or just time to be ... whatever it is you want ... it is yours to have, if you can adopt this simple, yet empowering habit.

One of the most empowering routines you can adopt is to give yourself time in silence. Be still and release any resistance or tension. Relax, quiet the mind. Calm what the Buddhists like to call the Monkey Mind. Clear your mind of TO DO LISTS, and just focus on your breathing for a few moments. Be at peace.

This is how you can clear the muck that causes undue stress and experience more tranquility and success. In this state of calmness, you can use positive affirmations that lift you up in alignment with your highest and greatest goals. Visualize and feel what you most want to experience, as if it's already complete. Visualize it and allow yourself to feel the excitement of your dreams.

Feed your spirit!

Feel the support of a universe that is abundant, all knowing and infinite, ever-expanding potential. For that is what YOU truly are. We can forget that, if we don't have a routine every day to break way from habitual, frenzied activity and thought.

Even brief periods of meditation can have a big impact on the quality of your life, if done consistently. In addition to helping you align with your intentions, stillness also allows you to tap one of your greatest allies and resources, your inner wisdom.

So how long does this process of meditation need to be?

That depends on you. If you're a quick start, high achiever, Type A, you may find it easier to begin with shorter sessions. For even 5 minutes each morning can have far-reaching effects.

I personally like to give myself about 30 minutes every morning to connect, seek answers, get centered and aligned. But start from where you are and what feels good to you.

With regular practice, you may find that actions get easier, and you start attracting better relationships and circumstances, and consciously make decisions that are aligned with your greats hopes, dreams and goals.

Empowered with this mindful habit, you will recognize that you can use little one or two-minute pauses throughout the day to help you step away from habitual thoughts and actions, so you can tap into your inner wisdom. This is how you can clear confusion, set a positive intention and then move positively forward in right action.

The end result... you enjoy more of the journey as you receive more of what you truly desire, yet "DO LESS". You realize that what is truly worthwhile requires effort, BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE HARD.

For it is not human struggle and sheer will that drives lasting results, it's your ability to align with what you truly desire that allows the cosmic tumblers to fall into place on your behalf. This is the key that unlocks the patterns that keep us stuck and unable to make real progress. STILLNESS and GOING WITHIN

So as I was pondering this week's E-cast topic, with the intention of choosing something that would be most helpful to you, I chose the empowering habit of "going within". For there is no one single thing that you can do that will help you more, than to connect with your true nature.

The universe of course answered that I was on the right path, when I opened my email and saw this quote from a favorite author, Mike Dooley. It read:

" Did you ever notice, that in the long run, those who don't eventually go "within," often go "without."

Now that is just a small sample of the power of synchronicity. There are so many others that emerge, when you give yourself time to align with the highest part of you, the Spirit that is who you truly are ... eternal and capable of more than you can ever imagine, if you can only give yourself the gift of time to connect with the
greatest and best part of you. For you are so much more than flesh and bone.
