Unlock Your Inner Success Vault

How many times have you caught yourself dwelling on negatives?

Things like:

• Mistakes you made in the past
  
• Negativity of others
• Opinions of others (real or imagined)
• Self doubts and fears leftover from childhood
• Set-backs and previous failures.

Well, here’s the good news: you can cut the negativity out like a surgeon.

This secret has been handed down through the generations and was made popular by Earl Nightingale

Ready?

Here it is:  “What we think about…we become.”

Now, here’s what to do:

First, make 2 lists.

1. The first is a written list of all the successes you can remember… from as far back as you can remember. When you finish it should be several pages long.  Even the trophy or ribbon in first grade.  The tests you passed.  The job you landed. The spelling bee you won. The goals you achieved.
2. The second list is all the things you currently ingest, think about, or do that are “bad for you”. Like drinking too much soda. Or too much alcohol.  Or comparing yourself to others.  Or allowing others to influence the way you think about yourself.  Be honest with yourself… this is often the hardest step.  But you must be brutally honest here.

Then… each night, for 30 days  - as you lay in bed - resolve to let go of the past and embrace the future.

Then read through your list of successes.  This is your golden list… and it’s like a bank account of positivity. You can make a withdrawal upon whenever negativity strikes.

Then, in your mind’s eye, clearly picture the new you.  Actively form a new self image based on the belief that you can create whatever you want.  See positive images of yourself, hear positive self talk, feel positive emotions. See your goals clearly.. and specifically, and see yourself attaining them.  Feel what it would feel like to blow right on through all your personal goals.

No need to think about the negatives at all… don’t dwell on them for even a second.

No amount of thinking can solve problems of the past… you must just let them go and embrace new opportunities. And if you catch yourself slipping into any form of negativity, immediately switch to a positive image of yourself.

Practice it and make it a habit for 30 days.  Add to your positive list whenever you recall a success.  Simultaneously, eliminate and cross off the items on your negatives list. Soon your mind will be reprogrammed with a new POSITIVE self image… one that has let go of the negatives… let go of the past.

Amazing but true…this newly minted image now replays in your mind — just like the old negative one used to do.

Anytime you hear that inner voice try to drag you back into the past… back into destructive habits… or self defeating beliefs….

Start going down your golden list of successes - and jumpstart your positive self image instantly.  And the old one will just *poof* away along  with the negative emotions it brings it.

The more you do it… the stronger it becomes.

It’s all within your control to be, and do, whatever you want.

Sound simplistic?

Too easy to work?

You just might be shocked at how well it can work.  And if your negative inner voice is skeptical right now…  tell it to hush.

Cheers,

Daniel

  This is so true. One day I stood on my scale for the first time in 2 years. I was 200 pounds. I would come home from work tired. I would eat junk because it comforted me. I would go to work tired and would eat more junk. The 200 digital number looking back at me told me I was failing my body, failing myself. I was missing out on my own life. Then I found Daniel’s class. Now I wake up full of life. I go to work with plenty of energy and come home with enough left over for play. I don’t want chips and when I do, Daniel has given me tools to combate it. You are not a failure. If I can do this, you can too. Do you want to be playful, full of energy and fun again? Do you want to feel strengh you’ve never felt before? You can. It is all within your power. I am finding my power every day since I joined the boot camp. Yes, I can! Yes, you can! Yes, we can!
