MY FAVORITE FIVE THAT I TALK WITH CLIENTS ABOUT

BEING AWARE ALSO PRODUCES BETTER RESULTS

Awareness Matters to your success

You must give up now, your future is already designed for you.

Give up the worry, give up the stress, give it all up because your future will look exactly like your past unless you grasp the point I am making in this article. That is true, your future will probably look pretty much like it feels today. How is that working out?

In this article I want to share with you a simple concept that you can practice to shift the feelings and results you are producing to be more fun and positive.

Your desired future starts with “Awareness”.

We all go through the motions of our daily lives oblivious to the stream of consciousness running though our brains and that stream of consciousness is constantly informing us of our experiences and quality of life. Many of us can complain endlessly about things that are probably beyond our control. We silently moan to ourselves in the middle of company meetings, we curse under our breath about selfish drivers or why the prospect is the bad guy they do not buy from us. These streams of consciousness are patterns we have developed since we were young and hence they run in our head like a script that we must follow to struggle on in life.

Well what if it was different. I mean really different, Please choose one of the following:

          I live my life experiencing joy and happiness.

          I struggle in misery while getting life done.

You see this is what I meant earlier, you are already living one of these intentions daily. Moment by moment. Some of us fluctuate back and forth but most of us are steadfast in our commitment to that script that was written so long ago. I am not here to analyze your past, and I am not necessarily suggesting that you need to either. I would just ask that you agree that this scripting is part of you, and that the negative scripting does not bring you happiness. Once you make this conscious choice what there is to do is practice.

I speak with a lot of people, mostly clients who tell it like it is with me that’s what they pay for, someone to trust in conversation. I can tell you with certainty that the number one thing I constantly hear is how people limit themselves through PAST scripting that they listen to and act on. I am simply saying one thing, that is to NOTICE the trail of scripting running through your head. That is AWARENESS!

Awareness is the tool that can favorably alter your future desires into reality. But first you need to know that you have the ability to practice this, and that it is not hard. You just need to be willing to practice and not just try it out. The practice is to specifically notice your brain chatter during the day for as many times as you do it. The more you practice and notice the chatter the easier it will be to alter your course from the past habits to future potential.

This practice is simple, and effective, hence one of my favorites. I do not pretend to say you may not need my assistance in this process and for that I am ready to talk to you. I know breaking old patterns can be difficult, and I also know you are making the first step by reading this, you are committed to getting better results with more ease.

Start by just noticing the negative AND positive experiences or thoughts you have during the day. Notice what your brain is saying AND how you are feeling. When you first wake and have your thoughts, what are the thoughts and what are you feeling? Are you dreading another commute to slave all day in your profession? Are you nervous about the big presentation and find yourself short of breath 2 minutes after waking up? This is the real world and this happens to many people, me included. Continue to notice just like that all day long.

Just notice the information presented and do nothing with it. Just notice it. While you notice that stream of feelings and thoughts just understand that the information in your brain either comes from past experiences, fear, or the possibility and excitement of something new.

So if you just had a great phone call with a client and you are feeling great, stop and notice that feeling and just notice that and what your brain said.

Also notice the negatives, like the feeling you may get staring at the phone about to call a client when that feeling of dread overtakes you. Stop and notice. The script will be some fear of the future or some negative experience from the past guaranteed. Just notice it. Get excited that you noticed it and notice that once you have that thought and actually did notice the pattern that you are no longer subject to the feelings that come along with it. Just notice.

As you notice, and noticing gets easier you will also notice more ease in your life. A sense of control that was surprisingly missing just days before. This is the point. For you to enjoy your life today, and many times today. Your chores from the past could become your joys for tomorrow.

The practice of awareness is a cornerstone for me in my daily practice. I share it with you to inspire you, to let you know you are not alone in the struggle that life demands and that there is a better way to enjoy more of that life you are living.

In a subsequent post I comment on Intention and how once Awareness is practiced then you can learn how to plan for and predict the short term outcomes you desire. I am open and excited to talk with you if you want guidance in practicing this new habit. I am here, pick up the phone, or send me a note.
