Manifesting with the Law of Attraction

You might wonder what mind power has to do with fitness, health and weight loss, after all, isn’t it all about what you eat and how much you exercise?

Eating and exercise are certainly two thirds of the equation, but the remaining component is in your head, literally!

Motivation, desire, expectation and visualization are key concepts that, when understood and utilized, can be powerful ammunition that will accelerate your results.

Motivation to exercise and lose weight is probably what brought you to this page in the first place. However, maintaining or renewing your motivation to exercise can be a fleeting thing. It’s all too easy to become discouraged. There are a few tips on this subject in our article on motivation to exercise. Now I want to describe how mind power can drastically affect the speed and results of your fitness/weight loss program.

If you’ve never read Deepak Chopras’ views and explanations of the mind-body connection in such books as ‘Quantum Healing’ or ‘The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire’ you should really consider doing so. His explanations of mind power are very involved and insightful, much more so than I’ll write here as he has written whole books on the concept. This is really powerful stuff!

Expectation and visualization are not often mentioned in fitness programs but they should be as mind power, or the influence of the mind over the body is much stronger than most people realize.

When you focus the power of your mind on the goal you seek, you will begin to influence the events that will produce the desired results.

Sounds a little like magic but this power of positive thinking has worked in documented cases involving advanced and ‘incurable’ cancer (as well as other diseases) to spontaneously cause the body to heal itself when conventional medicine had failed.

Why not direct this power toward all of your goals?

I am going to give you some instructions on how to use this ‘mind power’, which everyone possesses but few take advantage of, to reach your fitness and weight loss goals.

* Draw a clear picture of your goals.

Your purpose (goal) in persuing a fitness plan should be written down. -eg- I will again be able to fit into a size 4 dress..(yeah right!, like I ever could!) or losing 15 lbs of fat or gaining the necessary strength or endurance to enter a competition. Your goals will be individual and they will be moving targets, that is when you achieve them (and you will) you set your sites on a new goal. The clear expectation that you will achieve your goals is a necessary part of ‘mind power’ so repeat it out loud every day.

* Adjust from mere hoping and wishing to ‘Expectation’.

Goals and program firmly in hand, your desire to achieve your goals become an expectation. You will drop that 25lbs., you will again fit into that favourite dress, you will do what is necessary to land that job (you see, this technique works for all areas of your life). This positive mindset goes beyond desire and represents your commitment to succeed.

* Visualization

Here’s where mind power really shines and it’s kind of fun. Paint an image in your mind of what you will look like and perform like upon reaching your goals. Take a ‘before’ picture to hang on fridge and visualize what the ‘after’ picture will look like. Focus on that vision with intense concentration and do it often, everyday in fact.

Clear goals, expectations and visualization will all help to create and sustain the drive to push forward. The war is won one battle at a time and you will win!

* Discipline

Ah, that naughty word, the lack of which causes many to falter. As failure is not an option in this scenario, you are going to follow the program faithfully. (don’t worry, it’s not that difficult) You will set aside the time each day that is best for you to workout and it will become your own religion. After a couple of weeks you will find that it becomes a habit and that is the key! Keep that vision in your mind. Remember that discipline will make the difference between success and failure.

* Practice, Practice, Practice!

Ok, this visualization and mind power thing might seem a little far fetched, but ask anyone who practices meditation and you will learn of increased ability to focus and decreased stress in addition to many other benefits. Ask how often they practice meditation and most will respond ‘daily’.

Every day you should set aside a short time to quietly put your mind power to work. Do it before your regular workout session if possible. Think of it is a form of meditation, almost self-hypnosis that will help you maintain your focus and reinforce your motivation. Sit quietly, relax your thoughts and body (don’t fall asleep), clear your head of the days chaos and concentrate on that body that will be yours. Absorb yourself in your visualization firmly believing it will come to pass.

And it will!

I’m sure most of you have heard of, and perhaps read the book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki. If you haven’t read it yet, I highly recommend it along with his book “Cashflow Quadrant.” Both of the books are simplistic and introductory by design. But there are some important concepts that Kiyosaki highlights that are fundamental to accumulating wealth. Here are a number of Power Affirmations that I have created based on studying his material.

One of the reasons I prefer creating power affirmations instead of just notes is that they focus my mind on the positive application of the knowledge and not just the knowledge itself. By conditioning my mind to take positive action on what I learn, positive results eventually follow.

Here some of the affirmations:

My financial intelligence is now increasing everyday. Financial intelligence is more important than money.

1) I now create regular, positive cashflow. I create money.

2) Through controlling cash producing assets whose cash exceeds my living expenses, I am on the Fast Track to unlimited abundance.

3) I don’t work for money, I make my money work hard for me.

4) I regularly study accounting and investing.

5) Today I choose to be wealthy. I choose to use my ideas and money to create ever increasing wealth and abundance.

"Give me 10 Minutes a day and I will show you how to create the life of your dreams? 100% Guaranteed" It can bring you years of good fortune... make you very, very wealthy... broaden your circle of influence... put people in awe of you... and more!

6) I study and learn about money from people who are already wealthy.

7) When I come across an investment worth making, I ask myself “HOW can I afford it?” I am a possibility thinker.

My thoughts create new wealth generating opportunities everyday.

9) I study so that I can find good companies to buy.

10) I increase my wealth by following strategies to manage risk.

11) I pay myself first. I always pay my bills, but I pay myself first.

12) I am financially self-reliant. Through creative intelligence and planning, I now create new wealth far beyond my personal needs.

13) I write strong and sound business plans that create successful businesses that create jobs for others. I create wealth for myself and for other people.

Are you waiting for the stimulus plan to kick in to solve your personal wealth and well-being woes? Waiting for a plan to work that was developed by some source outside of yourself is not going to provide you with the abundance, security and serenity that you want to achieve! The answer is within you this very moment and is waiting to be unleashed.

I can guide you in unleashing your inherent creative and intellectual abilities that will actualize a new life of fulfilling and lasting success. The truly successful person is one who gets PROACTIVE in designing and implementing their own plan that encompasses their own beliefs, values, needs, wants and desires. Here is how you get out of “lack” and into abundance.

The first step is to move out of the conditioned behavior of “self-debting” that has been a mainstay of our society for so long and which has finally proven to be unsustainable. Here are some of the signs of a self-debtor:

* PROCRASTINATION: putting your life on hold pending some outside event that you don’t have control over.
* Not asking for what you want or need.
* Giving what you do not have available to give.
* Neglecting yourself by not having: healthy nutrition, exercise, personal time, etc.
* Lack of assertiveness.

Procrastination is one of the biggest forms of “self-debting” that will cause the under earning of the wealth and well-being you are seeking to achieve.

To take you out of “lack” and into the manifestation of a personal stimulus recovery plan that will keep you abundantly fulfilled is the goal of my sustainable success model. The approach is to achieve a balanced interplay between the following four areas:

1. PHYSICAL WELL-BEING:

* Eat Regularly and Healthfully. Great nutrition is fuel for a brilliant mind and body. Do give up at least one unhealthy habit that will relieve and stimulate your body, mind and pocketbook.
* Get Out Into Nature: There are proven powerful healing, restorative benefits to the sunlight, plants, and animals of our Mother Earth.
* Engage In Joyful Activities: Have some fun! Joy expands the heart, soul and mind. There are plenty of fun activities to engage in that are little to no cost. When short on time I, myself, love to pop into an exotic fish store, bead store, or toy store and play. Or with more time, I go out to run at the beach; dolphin watch; bowl or bar-b-que with friends or go dancing. Find your bliss!

2. FINANCIAL WELL-BEING:

* Take Some Time To Get Strong Clarity On Your Primary Goal And Purpose: Now is the time to reevaluate your values and goals. Financial well-being is creating your own sense of security and freedom to live a life of passion and serenity. Uncover what that is for you.
* Know What You Can Give And Don’t Give What You Can’t Afford To Give: Giving what you can’t afford will only create scarcity for you and others.
* Trade And Barter Goods And Services: There is much community joy in sharing with each other what we have. We all have something we don’t want or need any longer that is valuable to someone else and vice-versa. Be proactive in creating an opportunity for bartering/exchanging and recycling.
* Be Creative In Looking For Alternatives To Getting What You Want That Doesn’t Cost More Than You Can Comfortably Afford: One example I heard recently: A woman wanted to go to a black tie event (joyful activity for her); but didn’t have a great handbag to match her dress and couldn’t really afford to buy a new one. She found an online store that rents designer bags! It was a win-win for everyone.
* Be Proactive In Finding Financial Opportunities To Grow Your Wealth And To Promote Yourself. There are plenty of opportunities out there if you are open to them. The growing strength and popularity of social networking and marketing affords a very low cost to entry with maximum results.

3. SPIRITUAL WELL-BEING:

* Engage In Activities That Bring You Peace, Clarity And Serenity: Whatever the practice is that feels good to you IS the most beneficial one that will expand your capacity to create, manifest, live and love. Whether it be: meditation, prayer, chanting, journaling, creating art, cooking, etc, engage in it however many times per month that is right for you. There is no wrong way to spiritually engage… just do it! And reap the rewards.
* Be Of Service Where And When You Can And Be Anonymous About It.

4. RELATIONSHIP WELL-BEING:

* Take Time To Be With Friends, Family, Colleagues And Community. Overworking, underplaying and avoiding relationships will not achieve sustainable wealth and well-being.
* Verbally Acknowledge the Love, Respect, Admiration, and Job Well-done You Have For Those In Your Life.
* Actively Listen To All Those Who Come In Contact With You Each Day.
* Seek To Find The Similarities And Not The Differences In All Your Relationships.
* Participate In Relationships Where You Can Genuinely Give And Receive Support.
* Practice Courageous, Compassionate Communication In All Your Affairs.

Sustainable Success comes from co-communing compassionately with each other in an openly sharing environment without fear of judgment or competition. We are all interdependent upon each other more now than ever and it is imperative for the ushering in of a new era of Sustainable Wealth and Well-being.
