GRATITUDE: THE TREMENDOUS POWER THAT WILL ATTRACT EVERYTHING YOU NEED

Gratitude is a tremendous power for inner and outer success.  Gratitude is the recognition and appreciation that the good that you receive comes from outside you—from the Higher Nature (God, spirit, nature), loved ones, and even from strangers.  When you are grateful, you have less depression and anxiety, and better sleep. You also have growth and increase in your finances, career, relationships, health, joy, and ultimate success. On our latest Love University Podcast, we discovered how to unleash the tremendous power of Gratitude in your daily life. Here’s what we learned:

*Use Gratitude to Banish Ungratefulness. When ungrateful thoughts come in your mind—"I never get any breaks; everyone is doing better than me”—don’t dwell on these mental intruders.  Instead, think of everything that you’re grateful for:  Your life, loved ones, friends, career, finances, the place you live, the food you eat, clothes you wear, your pets, hobbies, and the marvelous things you are able to see, feel, and experience. Look around and observe the beauty of the world: babies, sunsets,  nature, inventions, creations, and love expressed by those who love. Always realize that there is much to be grateful about in the world.  

*Be grateful in advance.  To get what you want, be grateful for what you want, even if you don’t have it yet.  If you want a new house, for example, visualize that you already have it and be grateful for it. When you do this, you will release a tremendous amount of positive energy that will help make your dream home a reality. Because you are already experiencing the same feelings (joy) that you would have if you owned the house, you will generate more enthusiasm, perseverance, and dedication to make your dream come true.

*Love more fully each day.  You don’t know how long you have on earth, so it’s important that you give all the love you have to give on a daily basis.  Say “I love you” to those you truly care about.  Do what you love to do for work. Express love mentally to everyone around you—even strangers. When you do this, your level of gratitude and appreciation for life will soar, and you will attract more wonderful people, opportunities, and circumstances into your world.

Love University students, your goal this week is to practice gratitude on a daily basis. When you do this, you will raise yourself to greater heights of emotional and spiritual well-being. You will also help create a circle of gratefulness in which you inspire others to be grateful as well. Remember: A grateful world is a happy and joyous place where love and harmony abound.  Be grateful today and always.

DO THE IMPOSSIBLE: THE AMAZING POWER OF THE HARA--ONE POINT FOCUS

You have a tremendous power near your navel. It is called the Hara. In Eastern philosophy and martial arts, the Hara is the physical point that exists two inches below your navel. When a martial artist is centered in their Hara, they cannot be pushed or pulled by another person, no matter how strong the other individual is. They have tremendous one-point focus. In today’s Love University Podcast, you will learn how to apply the power of the Hara—one point focus—to maintain your mental balance and actualize your dreams.  Here’s what you can do:

*Ask yourself: What’s the most important thing I need to do today that would make everything else unnecessary?  By narrowing your focus to your ultimate goal for the day—family, health, spiritual development, creativity—everything else will tend to fall into place. When you do the most important thing first, you will find that you have enough time and energy to take care of the practical and mundane aspects of life.

*Redirect your Distractions:  Distractions fill your world—technology, people, things to do, your own thoughts.  To maintain a one-point focus, you need to be aware of, and eliminate, distractions.  In a pad or notebook, write down all the things that distract you and drain your energy on a daily basis, whether it’s social media, needless texts, or negative news. Also, write down how you feel when you participate in the distracting activity (sad, worried, stressed). Now, redirect your attention and focus to the things that really matter and make a positive difference in your life—career/work, family, spiritual and physical health, and improving your state of mind. When you do this, you will be more focused, peaceful and powerful.

*Practice the Million Mile Palm:  In this exercise, you will stand with your right foot in front, and feet shoulder length apart. You will inhale deeply and bring your right palm up to your face (palm facing to the left). Now imagine that there is a solid brick next to your face that represents the most serious problem or obstacle that stands in the way to achieving your ultimate goal. Perhaps, you see the barrier as being a lack of money, ability, education, and so forth. Next, as you exhale, quickly and explosively extend your palm straight out as far as you can reach as if you were pushing through the brick, one million miles into the distance. As you do this, visualize that you have already accomplished your goal, whether it’s a great relationship, amazing job, impeccable health, or sterling financial/career success.. Rejoice. You have broken through the mental barrier that has kept you from fulfilling your dream by going one million miles beyond it.

It's true. With practice and perseverance, you can develop the pure power of unadulterated one-point Hara focus.  With an inalterable focus and disciplined mind, you will blast beyond the barriers and obstacles of life to reach your ultimate destination: Love, success, and happiness.

LEARN THE 3 SECRETS OF HAPPINESS: FOREVER JOY CAN BE YOURS

DEBT SUCKS: GET OUT OF DEBT AND INTO FINANCIAL FREEDOM: WITH SPECIAL GUEST, JA’NET ADAMS, INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL COACH

As we enter the New Year, money is on the minds of many people.  The good news is that this year can be your most prosperous and successful year ever if you follow the rules of money and wealth. Our guest on Invincible You, Ja’Net Adams, an international money coach, enlightened us on how to start 2022 in the right financial way.  Here’s what we learned:

Create a Positive Money Story. Many people learn negative money stories when they’re growing up (“you’ll die in debt”; “money doesn’t grow on trees”). The key is to write down and repeat positive money stories to yourself on a daily basis, “I can be rich,” “There is more abundance in my life every day.”  When you do this, you will attract more abundance and riches—financial and emotional—into your life.

Know Your Money Type. It’s important to embrace your money style and do what feels comfortable to you.  If you’re a Security Seeker, you like to save and invest money. If you’re a Meaning Seeker, use money for your crusade or mission to help others in life (a nonprofit). If you’re a Knowledge Seeker, use money to advance your wisdom and knowledge (seminars, conferences, books).  Finally, if you’re an Excitement Seeker, you can learn how to put money aside in a “fun” fund to do the exotic, fun things you have always wanted to do (safari in Africa).

Don’t Let Money Get in the Way of Your Dreams.  Ask yourself, if money weren’t an object, what would I do (your dream)?  Make a Dream Sheet and write down your short-term (paying off debt), middle-term (buying a better car), and long-term dreams (travel, your children’s college education). When you have a definite money plan and implement it, you will have the motivation to save and invest to reach your ultimate goals in life.

The truth is that money can be a vehicle for love. When you do something you love, you receive appreciation in the form of money. Then, you take that money to buy goods and services, and you express appreciation for what you receive. In this way, money can circulate throughout the world—bringing love and positivity to humanity. Make this year your most prosperous ever by creating a positive money story, knowing your money type, and using money to achieve your dreams of love, health, and happiness for you and your loved ones.

YOU CAN BE RICH: WITH SPECIAL GUEST ANITA MAE AGUILAR, AMERICA‘S TIKTOK WEALTH MINDSET COACH

Would you like to be rich?  Our guest on Invincible You, Anita Mae Aguilar (manifestingmoneypodcast.thinkific.com), shared some of her secrets for developing a wealth mentality and achieving success in every area of your life. Here’s what we learned from Anita:

1.Create a Money Abundance Story:  What you tell yourself about money is crucial. Do you say limiting phrases like “Money doesn’t grow on trees?” Or do you say “Money is ever-growing and ever-flowing into my life.” The second phrase is the affirmative phrase you should be repeating to yourself to create a mind of money attraction.

2. Make Money Your Best Friend:  Would you ignore your best friend and expect them to want to be with you? No, you would give your best friend your utmost time and attention as they do the same for you. In the same way, study money and give it your time and attention. Observe how money comes in and out of your life. Write down your beliefs about money.  Read, listen, and learn about money mind attraction principles. The more time you spend learning about money, the more money will want to be your friend and will come into your life.
3. Practice “Being Doing Having.” Many people think in terms of “Having” (material goods and money), “Doing” (being motivated to do things), and then “Being” (happy). Anita tells us to reverse the phrase to “Being” (be happy first), “Doing” (what it takes to reach your goals), and finally “Having” (you will achieve your heart’s desires).  When you feel happy and successful first, you will attract the good things in life that harmonize with your feelings of happiness and success. This may include financial riches as well as emotional and spiritual wealth.

Yes, you can be rich. You can be rich in money, love, health, relationships, career, and happiness.  As Anita teaches, everything starts with your beliefs and your sense of inner worth. If you believe that you are worthy of riches and greatness, you will attract it. Start today by saying: “I am wealth, I am love, I am joy.” Do this and you will be what you feel.

 

 

 

 

REVERSAL SECRETS: THE PARADOXICAL POWER OF GETTING OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY AND ACHIEVING YOUR DREAMS

THE AMAZING POWER OF REVERSAL: DO THE OPPOSITE OF WHAT YOU‘VE BEEN DOING AND GET WHAT YOU‘VE BEEN DREAMING OF

Do you keep trying and trying and you still don’t get the results you want? If that’s the case, then you need to learn about the powerful tool called Reversal. Reversal is when you do the opposite of what you’ve been doing so you can get the opposite of what you’ve been getting. Here are some effective reversal techniques to help you achieve your dreams:

*Make Friends With What You Reject.  Find strength in your so-called bad or negative traits.  Consider a short attention span a gift for multi-tasking. Think of shyness as a way to think deeply and be sensitive to others.

*Have a Self-Kindness Day. Instead of trying to cram more into your day, choose a day when you will pamper yourself. Read, write, think, meditate, exercise, go out into nature, get a facial or massage, engage in your favorite hobby, or spend time with loved ones. Make this day about your regeneration and rejuvenation.

*Get Your Fools Out: If you’re shy or insecure in social settings, practice acting like a funny fool in private. Jump up and down, stick your tongue out, make silly noises. When you get the spontaneous and foolish side of your personality out in private, you won’t be so afraid of looking like a fool in public.

Now you’re ready to use the power of reversal to get yourself back on track.  Make friends with what you reject, have a self-kindness day, and get your fools out. With reversal as your guide, you will jump over obstacles and reach your dreams.

IS MONEY YOUR FRIEND?: HOW TO CREATE AN ABUNDANCE MENTALITY AND ATTRACT RICHES INTO YOUR LIFE

DEVELOP THE BLAST OFF MENTALITY: ESCAPE FROM YOUR NEGATIVE MENTAL GRAVITY AND SOAR INTO YOUR EXCELLENCE

Do you sometimes feel stuck in life? No matter how hard you try, you can’t quite achieve what you desire. If that’s the case for you, then there is good news. As we discussed on the “Invincible You” podcast, you can develop the blast-off mentality—a winning mindset of perseverance, motivation, and success. Here’s what you need to do:

Focus Your Energy on Your Most Important Purpose:  Every day, concentrate on doing the one most important thing each day, whether it’s related to your career, finances, health, or relationships. Do micro-tasks daily—smaller  tasks you can complete in a short period of time—which bring you closer to your desired goals.   

Maintain a Mindset of Completion:  When you have a mindset of completion, you realize that if something is worth starting, it’s worth finishing. Complete that one important task you have been putting off. Make the challenging phone call, send that critical email, have the difficult conversation. When you finish what you start, you will have a great feeling of accomplishment and purpose.

Remember that Action is Distilled Intent.  Your action or behavior is what matters in the end, not what you say or think about doing. To distill something is to get to its essential elements. Ask yourself: Did I achieve my goals today? If you didn’t, then you need to cut out everything that is extraneous and unnecessary to completing your objectives. Instead, focus on doing what you told yourself you would do—fulfilling your heart's desires. 

Yes, you can develop a blast-off mentality and achieve your dreams. All you have to do is focus your energy on your most important purpose, develop a mindset of completion, and remember that action is distilled intent. By doing these things you will actualize your potential, and you will blast-off into that rarified air of success, love, and joy.

WOULD YOU MARRY YOUR FIANCE IF HE HAD WEEKS TO LIVE? AN AMAZING TRUE STORY OF TURNING PAIN INTO POWER AND LOSS INTO LOVE

When you face a terrible catastrophe or setback, how do you find the strength to get your life back on track? We received inspiration for how to overcome obstacles and tragedies from our guest on Invincible You, Ashley Jackson. Ashley is the founder of Timeless Dream Events (timelessdreamevents.com), an event planning company for chronically/terminally ill people and their loved ones. Facing the imminent death of her fiancé a few months after he proposed to her at Disneyworld, Ashley turned her pain into power and taught us amazing lessons of love and resilience. Here is what we learned from Ashley.

*Take a Cemetery Tour and Find Your Purpose: When Ashley was a teenager, her dad took her to a cemetery and told her: “Here lie many people of untapped potential and lost dreams.” This shook up Ashley and taught her the lesson that we don’t have time to waste in life. While we’re alive we need to find our purpose and pursue our dreams so we have no regrets when we end up in the cemetery.  Start today to actualize your dreams and fulfill your potential. Don’t wait until later because later may never come.

*Write a letter to your fear (terminal illness, loss of love or finances, death): When her fiancé (future husband), Troy, was diagnosed with cancer, she was fearful, angry, and sad.  To express her feelings, she wrote a letter to “Cancer.” She learned that. although it’s a terrible disease, Cancer taught her some great lessons, including “realizing who my real friends are,” and “As a caretaker who sacrifices a lot for others, I don’t need to feel guilty about taking care of my own needs.” In the same way, you can write a letter to your biggest fear, expressing your feelings, and seeing what you can learn from that fear.

*Find your pain point and create a Miracle of the Heart:  After taking care of her husband, Troy, during his recovery from cancer, Ashley made an amazing discovery. She learned that her pain point (grieving over her husband’s cancer) could be turned into a great blessing when she started Timeless Dream Events (event services for chronically/terminally ill people).  She realized that she could combine her loves (event planning and traveling) with her previous suffering experience (her husband’s diagnosis) to create a great business to help others.  You can follow Ashley’s example by finding the pain point in your life—what has caused you the most suffering—and write down ways you can turn that pain into something positive.  Perhaps, you can create a business or project to help others with the same problem. Maybe, you can learn how to connect with others in a more compassionate way.  Or, you can develop more confidence and patience to make the changes in your life that you want to make.

When Troy proposed to Ashley at Disneyworld, he asked, “Can we chase our dreams together, forever?” His beautiful proposal was then followed by the pain and suffering of his cancer diagnosis, and finally by their triumph as a happily married couple. In the same way, you can recover from the pain and loss of the past to reach your dreams.  Start by finding your purpose, writing a letter to your fear, and turning your pain point into a Miracle of the Heart. By doing this, you will be able to find your purpose and achieve your destiny of love, success, and happiness.
