I Create My Day

4 years ago back in 2006 the movie the secret was first released and it sent ripples though the personal development community and touched the rest of the world and really made many people more aware of the universal laws that govern our realities.

However there was a movie that was released before the Secret, called What The Bleep Do We Know which was a documentary about quantum physics and how it affects our everyday life. The movie is a true mind bender and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning about themselves.

In What The Bleep Do We Know Dr. Joe Dispenza talks about creating his day. – I love this! It is my favorite part of the movie and I thought I would share it with you today.

I Create My Day

The most often referenced interview in the film is Dr. Joe Dispenza’s comments on creating his day. In response to the numerous requests, the following is the transcript of that part of the interview.

“I wake up in the morning and I consciously create my day the way I want it to happen. Now sometimes, because my mind is examining all the things that I need to get done, it takes me a little bit to settle down and get to the point of where I’m actually intentionally creating my day. But here’s the thing: When I create my day and out of nowhere little things happen that are so unexplainable, I know that they are the process or the result of my creation. And the more I do that, the more I build a neural net in my brain that I accept that that’s possible. (This) gives me the power and the incentive to do it the next day.

“So if we’re consciously designing our destiny, and if we’re consciously from a spiritual standpoint throwing in with the idea that our thoughts can affect our reality or affect our life — because reality equals life — then I have this little pact that I have when I create my day. I say, ‘I’m taking this time to create my day and I’m infecting the quantum field. Now if (it) is in fact the observer’s watching me the whole time that I’m doing this and there is a spiritual aspect to myself, then show me a sign today that you paid attention to any one of these things that I created, and bring them in a way that I won’t expect, so I’m as surprised at my ability to be able to experience these things. And make it so that I have no doubt that it’s come from you,’ and so I live my life, in a sense, all day long thinking about being a genius or thinking about being the glory and the power of God or thinking about being unconditional love.

“I’ll use living as a genius, for example. And as I do that during parts of the day, I’ll have thoughts that are so amazing, that cause a chill in my physical body, that have come from nowhere. But then I remember that that thought has an associated energy that’s produced an effect in my physical body. Now that’s a subjective experience, but the truth is is that I don’t think that unless I was creating my day to have unlimited thought, that that thought would come.”

A Great Decision Making Model

August14

decisions

The power of a decision is perhaps the most powerful force in the universe. The only thing is too many of us don’t make them.

I recently became smoke free after 8 years of smoking and I have to say it was very easy to do, once I made the decision to do it.

Now I must say I did try many times before I finally and successfully gave it up however that is all they were tries. I didn’t really want to, I knew I should for health reasons however deep down it was serving a purpose to smoke.

It wasn’t until I got leverage on myself and really thought about what it would mean for me long term to stop smoking and the consequences would be if I continued to smoke.

You see making a definite decision about something will change your life, and it seems so simple, we make decisions all day, every day. So why is making some decisions so hard? Or more correctly, why are some decisions not successful as they should be?

Life is all about making decisions and the decisions you make will shape your destiny.

If you ask most people ‘would you like to be financially free?’ Most people would say YES! So then, why aren’t people rich, if all it comes down to is a decision?

I am sure there are many answers to this question however, I truly believe they simply haven’t made a definite decision; it is more like a trying attempt. Just like when I and most people tried to stop smoking.

Most people only have the trying part down, they are not prepared to do as Julius Caesar did and burn the ships. If you don’t know the story Julius Caesar lead his army to invade Egypt and when he got to the shore he ordered his troops to burn the ships that way it was either do or die. To succeed in your decision making you need to make this kind of commitment.

Chances are very high that whatever you want in life someone else has achieved it, so it is not a question whether it can be done. It is simply about making a decision to do it and how badly you want it. You need to get leverage on yourself.

If you want to get power behind your decision making and create meaningful and long lasting leverage, here is a powerful exercise you should do.

Take some time out right now about 15 minutes, find a quite place and visualise for a moment of the what your life would be like if you don’t make a certain decision that you know you should make. Now think about what life would be like in 5 years from now, 10 years from now and even 20 years from now. If you are doing this properly you should be feeling pretty bad right now.

Now think about if you do follow through with this decision and visualise how your life would be 5, 10 or even 20 years from now. Feel the positive impact this decision would have not just to you but to all the people around you. Feeling good? I hope so!

You should have some leverage now. I would love to hear your opinion and feedback on this little exercise.

Healthy Habits – Tea

I was once told that your habits will determine your destiny. Considering your health is your most important asset it only makes sense that you create healthy habits.

For a few years now I have made the habit of drinking green tea every day. I love coffee however I needed something else to drink rather than drink 3 to 4 coffee’s a day, so that is why I initially started to drink green tea.

That was until I discovered rooibos tea, or it put it more correctly I was introduced it from my South African mates. It has been almost a year now since I started to drink Rooibos and I absolutely love it. I mix it with some honey just to sweeten it up a little and sometimes a squirt of lemon or lime juice. I have found the benefits even better than drinking green tea.

So why Rooibos Tea?

Rooibos tea is grown only in a small area in the Cedarburg region of the Western Cape in South Africa it contains zero caffeine and has very high levels of antioxidants and we all know how good antioxidants are for us. (They help fight off disease)

Rooibos tea is becoming a lot more popular in the western society and you can bye it from your local grocery store or health food shop.

I find it helps me sleep and provides me more energy than coffee even though it doesn’t contain caffeine. I simply feel great after drinking it.

In South Africa rooibos is used in traditional medicine to help alleviating infantile colic, allergies, asthma and dermatological problems, just to name a few.

I strongly recommend you try it and make it a healthy habit of your own.
