14 Little Thoughts That Can Shatter Your Dreams

Like a rough cut  diamond cutting through glass, your negative thoughts can penetrate your defences to leave broken shards of glass strewn across your mind.  These tiny little time bombs might not seem like a big deal now, but in time they grow, they fester and eventually shatter your dreams.

 

We all have negative thoughts that play on our mind day in and day out, but we have to catch them before they set in, and bury themselves in the deep recesses of your mind.

 

Take back control

There's so much stuff we can't control in our lives, and yet taking charge of our own thoughts is one of the easiest, with practice, things we can control.  So, it makes sense to take control of everything we can in order to start living the life we desire.

 

A lot of people I speak to say 'oh, it's impossible to stay positive all the time, it's just not realistic.'  Whilst it's not impossible, I am not advocating that the world is all unicorns and rainbows, but what I am suggesting is at least take some control back of our thoughts by being mindful of how we think, what we say, and how we act.   It all starts with your thoughts: your beliefs, your words, your actions, your habits, your values and eventually your destiny.

 

So here's a few of the worst culprits:

 

14 Little Thoughts That Can Shatter Your Dreams

1. I've had my heart broken too many times to love again

Surprisingly I hear this a lot from the readers on my Facebook page, and it just doesn't make sense.

You may have had your heart broken, but that means you weren't with the right person.  By learning just how much to open up emotionally to someone you learn more and more about yourself and exactly how much you are worth. You are worth so much more than you think, so stop giving people discounts, but don't give up on love.

When you learn to accept yourself for being the amazing person you are nobody will be able to break your heart. You will know instinctively when it is time to go your separate ways from someone, that includes friends, family and the people you love.

 

2. I'm not good enough

Effectively what you're saying here is 'I can't be bothered to take the time and become good enough.'

That sounds a bit harsh, but think about it for a second, nobody was good enough until they put in the time and effort to become good enough.  This goes for everything in your life whether you want to write a book, become an actor, start a business, or raise a child.

You are good enough to be where you are right now. if you want to be in an elevated position in a specific area of your life, then you keep on working at it. You will find that when you get to the top of your specific area, there will always be a way to become better.

So, you ARE good enough, a better affirmation to use then would be "I am getting better at (insert your specific area here) e.g.

I am getting better at writing
I am getting better at loving myself
I am getting better at loving others
I am getting better at being a mum/dad/parent
I am getting better in my job

 

3. I don't have enough time to do that

Okay if we're being really honest here, you're really saying 'This is not important enough for me to give it my time.'  

I am terrible at sending out birthday cards on time and I always make the same excuse 'I'm just so busy with other stuff that it slipped my mind.' which is utter rubbish, I have everyone's birthday on my calendar in my kitchen, but I keep putting off getting that birthday card until the last minute.  So I am effectively saying your birthday is not as important as all the other stuff I have going on in my life, which is a selfish.  

So now if I ever miss a birthday I drive over to the person's house which can be 50 miles away and give them their card, which is just mental

You make time for what you prioritise, don't ever make the excuse of not having enough time as that is insulting to yourself and to the person you're making the excuse to.

 

4. I wasn't born with the talent to do that

Nobody is born knowing how to play the piano, or knowing how to play golf, or how to write.  Yes, some people have a natural aptitude for doing certain things, but they're not born with the knowledge.  

If you really want to do something in life which requires a degree of skill, and I mean really want it, you need to put in the effort to master that skill.

Do not think about how well you're doing or what the outcome is, keep working at your skill until you become unconscious competent (Four stages of competence)

 

5. I will put my dream on hold until I have done (insert something here)

If you're not living your own dreams you're helping someone else live theirs.  Your dreams are an important part of living life to the full and without them, you might just wake up on your 70th birthday and think 'Shit, I wish I had chased my dream, instead of working all those hours for someone else.'

Don't put off your dreams until something else happens e.g. I will go to university when the kids are grown (newsflash, your kids will always be kids until the day you die).

 

6. What if I fail

So what if you fail, at least you've have learned something along the way.  When you jump a net usually appears to support you.  Not doing something you want to do for fear of failure is failure itself.

Ask yourself this one question every time you think a thought like this:

What is the worst that can happen? When you have figured out what the worst is then you will probably see it's not actually that bad.

Now when you have figured out what the worst that can happen is, you now have to flip and ask: What's the best thing that can happen if I do this.

 

7.  It's too difficult

Nobody ever grows inside their comfort zone.  What that means is if it's not challenging then it's not worth having, you won't learn anything.  Imagine for a second if everything you wanted in life came to you easily: you wanted to become an Indie 500 driver, boom you got it, you wanted to write a best selling novel, boom you get it on your first try.  Pretty soon you would become bored with life and nothing would challenge you.  We need things to be difficult in order to appreciate the journey we took to reach our goals.

 

8. They were so lucky to get to where they are today

This is a biggie.  I used to think this a lot before I started my online business.  I would look at people like Eben Pagan, Frank Kern, Jeff Walker and my other online heroes and think 'Yeah but you started at a time when it was easy' or 'yeah but you've got the personality to pull that off' or other excuses for me not being able to become a success.  As soon as a realised just how hard these people worked to get to where they are today, I changed my whole way of thinking and got off my arse and worked harder until things started happening.

 

9. My life is shit

Please! Get off the 'poor me' train, and believe me I've been on that train many times in my life.  You have so much to be thankful for it's just not real.  you might say, you don't know my situation, and that's true, but whatever way you look at it you can always find a ton of reasons to be grateful for the life you have.

 

10. It's just not the right time

So many relationships, businesses, dreams, and goals have been broken with this one little thought. There's never a good time to start anything.  The important thing is to start it with a good heart and keep going and give it your very best shot.

 

11. I'm too old

Eh! No you're not.

 

12. People don't like me

Sorry, you're not a mind reader, you can't possibly know if people like you or not.  This is all to do with feeling uncomfortable in your own skin.  Work on yourself so that you're so comfortable with yourself that you just don't care what others think of you, at least this way you're being true to yourself.

 

13. One lie is not that bad

One lie leads to another to cover up the first one, and then it snowballs from there.  Practice being radically honest, if someone asks your opinion about something ask them first if they really want to know what you think, that way the people who really want the truth will value what you have to say.  Don't lie to cover up your embarrassment of a situation, come clean, take the consequences and move on, at least you'll gain some respect for being honest.

 

14. I wish I was intelligent enough

Big secret here: you're as intelligent as you believe you are.  If you believe you're a not intelligent then guess what, your brain looks for ways to prove you're not intelligent.  If you want to start to believe you're intelligent, start feeding your brain intelligent material, and it sure as hell isn't watching the latest episode of 'The Real Housewives of 'I've got so much money and bored that I'll make a TV program about it'

 

7 Beliefs That Will Stop You Losing Weight

Most of us want to shed some pounds or there have been times when we've wanted to drop a clothes size or two. The problem is we have told ourselves a lot of stories about losing weight which have then formed deep seated beliefs.

If you believe something, in your mind it is true. The same is true with the beliefs you have about losing weight.

If you've told yourself often enough 'I can never lose weight, no matter what I try' – guess what, your mind tells your body that statement, and that information is then transferred to the cells of your body. Sound ridiculous? – Read the Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton who speaks about your beliefs being stored at the cellular level of your body.

 

7 Beliefs That Will Stop You Losing Weight

1. Losing weight is hard.

If we believe losing weight is going to be hard – guess what – it will be!

This is a very strong reason why many people struggle to lose weight, and why many give up before they make a dent in their goal of losing weight.

Losing weight doesn't start with going on a diet or starting a new fitness regime, it starts with your mindset.

Work on your mindset a few weeks before starting your new eating plan and fitness regime. This can be done using affirmations, or searching for evidence to prove that you've lost weight in the past and you can do it again.

 

2. I have to go to the gym to lose weight.

First off, there’s nothing wrong with going to the gym. Many people do it, and many people reap positive benefits from doing it. However, if you hold this particular belief, you will become a slave to your workout routine if you want to lose weight or maintain weight loss.  This can become problematic over time.

When we feel like we “have to” work out, it becomes just another thing on our to-do list, and it starts to feel like a chore.

One of the best things you can do to lose weight and get into a routine is to do something you enjoy whilst doing a little exercise.  For example I read my book or listen to an audiobook whilst I am walking my dog. Reading is something I enjoy, but I don't particularly enjoy walking, however since I now associate walking with doing something I enjoy I have learned to enjoy walking as well, which in turn has helped me to lose weight.

 

3. People gain weight when they get older.

I think this is one of the beliefs where it is more of an excuse than anything else, however it doesn't stop people believing this.  

You need to change this belief, as you do not necessarily put on weight just because you get older.  It may be that you slow down a little as you get older and that contributes to you putting on a  little extra weight, or your metabolism slows down due to a build up of bad habits.

There is no evidence to show that we naturally put on weight as we get older so again it's another belief that we can work on eliminating.

 

4. I'm a too busy.

Reality check: What you're really saying is I don't want to prioritise losing weight over other things. Things like watching TV, having a long lie in the mornings, spending too much time on the internet are all things we can do less of in order to make some time to get more healthy

you have the same amount of time as everyone else, but you might not be setting your goals as a high enough priority. Those with high priorities, no matter how committed their time, find a way to make sure they give attention to their priorities.

If weight loss is a goal, it might take a little more time to plan, prepare and cook meals, but as a high priority it might mean you spend less time doing other things that don’t help.

If you truly want to lose weight you won't look for excuses you'll just do it and you'll prioritise it so you achieve your goal.

 

5. I can’t do it.

If you have tried unsuccessfully to lose weight many times before, you may find yourself struggling with a strong belief that you can’t lose weight. 

Maybe you believe that you can only lose so much weight, or you may believe that you can’t lose any at all.  Either way, this kind of belief will override your desire to eat healthy and exercise, so that it seems like a constant battle to keep going and making any progress at all.

When you tell yourself a hundred times that "I just can't do it" you're sending a ton of signals to your brain, your body and the cells in your body.

Think about something you're good at. The reason you're good at it is because you've told yourself you're good at it so many times and other people have affirmed this too that it has become a deep seated belief. That's how beliefs are formed; the negative beliefs as well as the positive beliefs.

Whatever you tell yourself and believe about yourself is true so if you want to change something in your life give yourself different beliefs and the way to do this is tell yourself different stories about yourself.

 

6. My life will be perfect when you lose weight.

No. Ask yourself how you'll feel when you lose your extra weight? Your answers may surprise you. These answers are the clues to why your body is holding on to what you want it to get rid of.

Striving toward the way you want to feel will increase chemical neurotransmitters sometimes called happy hormones. This starts the process of balancing your hormones, which will help your body release unnecessary weight.

If you truly want to change your beliefs about losing weight then start changing your beliefs and redefine what it means to lose weight.

 

7. Losing weight

Now, I've spoken about losing weight all through this article but the truth is if we tell ourselves we are 'losing' something our minds automatically get it back or keep it.

So stop saying 'Losing' weight and instead use some other phrases like:

• Burning fat
• Shedding some pounds
• Getting fitter
• Get healthier
• Look after myself

 

Conclusion

The way we speak to ourselves has a massive impact on our lives, much more than you can imagine. Becoming healthier and fitter is one area that ma lot of us struggle with and it's largely in part due to the things we tell ourselves, some of which have been mentioned above.

You can change any aspect of your life simply by changing what you tell yourself.

 

8 Things You Don't Want to Learn Too Late in Life

Most of the time, people don't assess the situation they're in until a crisis hits. And this usually comes at a time when it's already too late to alter their course of action. The chances we miss, the relationships we didn't cherish or unfinished tasks we didn't complete. Nobody wants to learn things too late in life and mourn on the regret of not having taken action on something

I don't even remember the amount of times that I have thought, "I wish I knew that when I was younger". I'm sure most of us had wished that we could go back to our younger self with all the knowledge we have right now. So here are 8 things that you don't want to learn too late in life.

 

1. Stop shoulding on yourself

We go through life learning at a young age all the things that we should do and even punished for not doing them. Then we look around other people's lives and see that they're doing the same thing, so we don't question it. But we don't stop to ask ourselves if this is what we truly want.

Do you really want to be a lawyer, or has your parents just instilled this belief upon you? Do you really need college for your passion, or has society made you think it's mandatory for success. Will Smith's parents almost forced college on him, but after much fighting they gave him the opportunity of one year to chase his musical dreams. I'm assuming there would be no Fresh Prince if Will Smith shoulded himself.

There's a new American dream now. This generation has chiseled and revised the American dream into something more viable: living your passion. We take the lessons of the old timers about hard work, dedication and sacrifice, and put it into something we absolutely love doing. Demand something more for yourself from the smidgen of time we're privileged to have here on this earth.

 

2. Facing your fears

The skill of facing your fear is one of the most obvious, but sometimes the most crucial. It doesn't matter who you are – elite athlete, millionaire, or Chuck Norris; we all have some type of level of fear. A level of discomfort when a situation arises. But without putting yourself face to face with your fears, you can never fully get to where you want to be. There really are no shortcuts.

Most people will probably fear failure. It can paralyze you from moving forward. It can chew you up and spit you out. But look at it this way, failure is something that is absolutely essential for you to be able to enjoy success. Would sunny days feel so special, if there weren't rainy ones?

None of us are perfect, we all make mistakes. But with every mistake, every failure, it slowly transitions into wisdom. The wisdom of knowing how to do it better. The wisdom that those same failures you encountered, developed you into the person you are today.

 

3. Small steps for big changes

Small steps aren't about limiting yourself from growing to large, too quick. It's a matter of being able to start (especially with something you fear). It's about growing momentum and putting yourself into a position where you know you can succeed. The thought of doing everything at once exhausts my brain just thinking about it. I used to put way too many things on my to-do list, attempt to get everything done, and end up procrastinating because of how much there is to do.

Break the monster down into bite sized pieces. Want to accomplish more? Start with just two of the most important things on your to do list. Want to change your diet? Start with one healthy meal a day.

I know my lazy days are going to come. But by breaking a goal down to just 10 minutes a day will help you persist in the long run. So when I don't feel like working out, I say to myself just 10 minutes a day. Those 10 minutes almost always turn into a full blown workout!

 

4. This is your moment

You can learn a thing or two from a child. Their minds only fixate on the playground around them. They're not thinking of their next homework assignment or what they cried about yesterday. They just go out and purely enjoy themselves in the moment: running, laughing and playing.

Every moment that passes by you, is another moment that you can't get back. It's a moment that you could have seized. These moments pass us while our minds are somewhere else. You miss the interesting people around you, the beautiful environments, and most of all the life that you're living.

 

5. Don't make things bigger than they are

Yes, we can learn from a child, but that's not to say we are children. When a child gets upset, they're upset. They get consumed by what upset them and they think it's the end of the world. But as we get older, we live through many stressful things in our lives. We learn the ability to cope and withstand things. We now know that we should not be throwing that tantrum when you don't get the piece of chocolate. But, sometimes we still carry that type of mindset into minor problems we face throughout the day.

When we experience stress – a physiological response of fight or flight is triggered. This is actually very natural, and probably helped our ancestors survive. The part of the brain that creates this response cannot fully distinguish it as a real threat or a perceived threat. But understanding that this physiological reaction is a natural part of us can help us see that nothing is actually attacking us. Life really isn't as serious as you think it is.

The problems that you have now aren't going to matter in a year; it might not even matter by next week! One moment your heart is racing a mile a minute, the next you're laughing at the incident. I remember all the times arguing with my significant other. The arguments were small, but it led to many big fights. Looking back, I could have replied with just a simple "okay," and it would have been fine.

 

6. The world doesn't revolve around you

You have to understand that people don't think of you as much as you think they do. They have their own minds, insecurities and problems to think about. To them, they are the main character of their own story and if they are thinking of you, it's probably because it interconnects to their own lives.

Even if this thought makes you feel less significant, it helps you put into perspective that all the worries and regrets of what people think of you are only the construct of your own mind. Understanding this lets me feel less anxious about other people judging me and helps me gain confidence in my every day actions.

 

7. Invest time in others

Recently, my grandmother unexpectedly went to the emergency room because of heart pain. I immediately raced to the hospital and went there only to find her on the bed with a huge grin on her face. I was relieved to know she was okay. But what dawned on me was her ability to remain so happy even when IVs were hooked into her arms. But I knew her joy came from the presence of my whole family being there to support her.

How would it feel if you were sick in the hospital and not a single soul came to visit? Invest some of the time you have in caring for the people close to you, even if it means sacrificing some personal time. Treasuring your relationships with your loved ones is something that should never be overlooked. You know the saying "Live like it's the last day of your life" – take that up another notch and treat your loved ones like it's their last day on earth. They will notice.

 

8. Relationships Matter More Than Success

At the end of your life, you won’t be reminiscing about your job title or the awards you won. You’ll think about the people who loved you and the memories you shared.

Don’t take your relationships for granted. Spend time with the people who matter. Tell them you love them. Success is great, but connection is what truly makes life meaningful.

 

Final Thought:

Life is fleeting. Don’t wait for a crisis to reflect on what truly matters. Take action, live intentionally, and cherish every moment. What lesson will you choose to act on today?

 

10 Habits Of Highly Confident People

Have you ever pondered how certain people manage to succeed in almost all they do and seem to glide through life? If the response is yes, you have also questioned why, despite working just as hard and possessing the same level of expertise, you are not doing more of the same. What's the difference? It all comes down to confidence. It has an impact on almost every aspect of our lives, from our working lives to our social lives.

Making the most of your skills and pushing over your apparent boundaries are made possible by confidence. Yes, some people are born with confidence, but like everything else, confidence can be developed. You can start adopting these ten habits of extremely self-assured people right now and improve your life.

 

1. They Learn All the Time

The main reason why we are not learning more is because we fear failure. Confident people, on the other hand, aren't afraid if trying new things and learning new skills, just because they might not succeed right away. If they do succeed, great, and if they don't, they pick up where they left off and use it as a learning experience.

 

2. They Take Responsibility

As opposed to being idle bystanders in their own lives, confident people assume control over it. They accept that they are responsible for their own decisions, actions, and words. Of course, they might not be able to control the outcome, but they can control for their responses and choices in life, whether good or bad.

 

3. They Don't Give into Their Fears

Even the bravest ones among us have fears. But, what makes us brave is not our lack of fear, but acting in spite of it. That's also one of the trademarks of all confident people. Fear is what keeps most of us from trying, and it's definitely something that keeps us away from success. Being confident is about stepping out of your comfort zone and giving it a shot.

 

4. They Don't See Themselves as Victims

At some point in yourself, you are going to feel like everything and everyone is against you. It's an opportunity to fall into self-pity and feel victimized. Confident people do the exact opposite. They view problems and roadblocks as challenges, which drives them to try even harder. Sure, they also feel when they have been done wrong, but that doesn't stop them from achieving their goals.

 

5. They Respect Others

This doesn't mean that they will put up with other people, no matter how difficult they are. But, they have no problem in seeing value in other people around them. Furthermore, they are more than ready to help them out, whether through pointing them in the right direction, providing timely feedback, or simply lending them a hand when they need it.

 

6. They Accept Recognition

Once they have done a good job, confident people will be pleased with it, and will accept recognition for their hard work. But, they won't boast about it. They will also praise others which have played a role, because they realize that success is often the result of a team effort.

 

7. They Have Goals

Setting goals helps them stay on track and monitor their progress. They realize that in order to find success, they need to overcome numerous obstacles and take lots of different steps. But, they are also good at adjusting their goals and taking a different direction. Confident people use goals as motivation, and not as a source of pressure.

 

8. They Don't Compare Themselves to Others

When you compare yourself to others, all of your flaws come to the forefront, and you focus on them, instead of focusing on your goals. People which are highly confident focus on themselves and all the ways they can improve their skills, which further boosts their confidence.

 

9. They Look after Themselves

In addition to taking care of their minds, confident people also take care of their bodies. Let's be honest, looking your best has an outstanding effect on your confidence, so make sure to watch what you eat, get plenty of sleep, and exercise regularly. This also reduces your chances of getting sick, because when you are sick, you can't work on your goals, no matter how confident you are.

 

10. They Learn to Trust Their Instincts

Confident people learn to go with their gut. This doesn't mean that they don't put any thought into their actions or decisions, because they do. The reason why it may seem that way is because they have learned to make decisions in an instant, without hesitating. They make decisions every day, without postponing them, or passing them off onto others.

 

The Final Word

Being confident does that take work, at least in the beginning. But, if you implement the tips we have shared in this article, you will become so good at it, it will become your second nature. It will feel effortless, because you will grow your confidence.

The easy guide to the 4-7-8 Breathing Technique

Do you ever have trouble quietening your mind at night to get to sleep?  The 4 7 8 breathing technique is an easy, yet effective method of calming your body and mind.  This is our favourite go-to breathing technique for relaxation and sleep.  If practised regularly, this method can lull you into sleep in just one minute.

 

What is the 4-7-8 breathing technique?

To be human is to know stress. If you deal with stress or anxiety on a regular basis, chances are, you know there’s power in slowing down and taking a deep breath, but something you may not know is that while focusing on your breath is a great way to calm yourself, the cadence in which you breathe might be even more important. That’s where the 4-7-8 breathing technique can be useful.

 

You may have heard of this breathing technique before. 4-7-8 breathing, also called “relaxing breath” is a pattern of breath that has been used for centuries as a way of promoting relaxation, reducing anxiety, and aiding sleep.

If you’re like most people, your normal breathing is shallow and you most likely hold your breath a lot throughout the day without even realizing it. This actually can contribute to stress and tension. Conscious breathing exercises, like the 4-7-8 technique, help you clear your mind and promote an increased feeling of calm.

It does this by calming the nervous system and helping to break out of the fight-or-flight response that is triggered by fear.  By focusing solely on your breath, you will essentially transfer your focus away from the immediate worries and calm your mind.

 

How do you do the 4-7-8 breathing technique?

The 4-7-8 breathing technique is pretty simple once you get the hang of it and can be done anywhere and any time, although it’s best done while seated or standing with a straight back. This allows your lungs to fully expand.

Before you begin: Begin with an audible exhale to open your lungs and release any tension you might be holding in your shoulders. You should make a “whoosh” sound with your mouth when exhaling.

Step one: With your mouth closed and tongue pressed gently on the roof of your mouth, take a deep breath in slowly and deeply through your nose while you mentally count to four.

Step two: Next, hold your breath for a mental count of seven.

Step three: Lastly, exhale through your mouth as slowly as you can for a count of eight.

Repeat for four cycles.

 

Anytime, anywhere.

The best part about the 4-7-8 breathing technique is that it can be used anytime and anywhere. Practice this method before a long flight, before a presentation at work, or on your living room floor after your kids decide your freshly folded laundry is a landing pad for jumping off the couch. (Yes, moms I feel your pain.)

If you’re into the 4-7-8 breathing, try it while watching one of my 60 Seconds of Calm videos. I can feel the stress melting away as we speak…

Happy meditating!
