Meditation has become one of the most important habits in my life.

Why should you meditate?

The global pandemic caused by COVID-19 has changed our lives forever. Isolation, job insecurity, and fear of the future have impacted people's mental health. During these uncertain times, meditation is a powerful mindfulness-based practice for finding calm amidst the chaos.

On a daily basis, the majority of your thoughts are focused on the past or the future. In this emotional state, it's easy to become a victim of your mind. Meditation shifts your focus away from these places and brings you back to the present moment.

If you've never meditated before, figuring out how to start can be overwhelming. For many years I was resistant to meditating.

Why?

I didn't understand how the process of meditation worked.

Intellectually I knew that meditating was good for me, but I couldn't connect with it. I decided to change my perspective. Instead of getting frustrated, I decided to get curious about meditation. I forced myself to meditate every day over an extended period.

Not surprisingly, I started noticing the profound benefits that meditation was having on my mental and emotional health. At that point, there was no turning back. I was hooked.

Some of the mental health benefits of meditation include better focus, improved self-esteem, and lower levels of stress and anxiety.

As an entrepreneur and overachiever, my mind is constantly moving.

I have a lot of responsibilities in my business, which can create anxiety. Meditation has helped me relax my mind, while still being productive. It's also given me more clarity and less brain fog while doing things like reading, learning, listening, and speaking to someone.

Why Is It Hard To Meditate?  

The reason why a lot of people resist meditation is that they are addicted to thinking. Your brain doesn't know how to slow itself down. Did you know that from the moment you are born, you process anywhere between 60,000 to 80,000 thoughts a day?

If ruminative thinking is familiar to you, calming your mind and sitting in silence will be incredibly challenging. When you're first starting to meditate it's natural to experience boredom.

Meditation challenges you to practice being in the here and now instead of trying to escape or avoid it. I've struggled with a variety of different addictions throughout my life, everything from video games to pornography to binge eating.

The root cause of addiction is an inability to be comfortable with being. Meditation has helped me shift from doing mode into being mode. In being mode, my mind is forced to slow down because it has nowhere to go.

In this state, I have learned how to be fully present, which has given me a heightened sense of awareness. If I have thoughts, feelings, or sensations that arise in my body, I don't feel the need to change or resist them.

Instead, I observe them in a non-judgmental way.

Meditation teaches you to watch your thoughts and feelings come and go instead of getting attached to them.

If you are new to the world of meditation, I suggest you read Meditation For Beginners by Jack Kornfield. Inside his book, he has some great guided meditations. Having someone direct and guide you through the meditation process is extremely helpful when you're first learning to meditate.

When I first started meditating, I used Headspace and Calm. These apps helped motivate me to meditate and stay on track until I had the willpower to meditate on my own.

Meditation Technologies 

Muse Meditation Headband

With the Muse headband, you listen to a guided meditation while the headband scans your brainwaves. It will identify when your mind is overly active versus when it's calm. When your mind is active during your meditation, you'll hear birds chirping.

Conversely, when your mind is calm, the birds will stop chirping. At the end of your meditation session, you can identify what your meditation experience was like and track your progress.

The Brain Tap

The Brain Tap uses frequencies of light and sound for brain wave entrainment. You wear a headset over your closed eyes and headphones in your ears while experiencing these frequencies.

Essentially, it's a guided visualization and meditation that helps your brain to experience higher levels of alpha brain waves. The visualization puts you into an incredibly relaxed state of mind.

HeartMath Inner Balance

This is a heart rate sensor that attaches to your ear. It is accompanied by an app that teaches you how to shift your emotional state and create synchronicity between your mind, body, and heart. Not only does this device help reduce your stress, but it also helps bring awareness to your breathing and heart rate throughout the day.

How To Meditate

You want to make sure that you're in a comfortable seated position, whether that's in a chair or sitting cross-legged on the floor. If you choose to sit in a chair, I recommend sitting upright so that your back is fully supported.

There are many different ways that you can meditate, but one of the most common ways is with your eyes closed. Take a deep breath and allow your body to fully relax. Do a scan and bring attention to every part of your body.

I go through this process in the video above!

If you notice any tension, focus on melting into the tension. Doing this body scan will bring you into the present moment. Once you have done this, bring attention to your breath. Don't try to control your breath. Merely watch and observe it.

Through this practice, you'll notice that your mind will start to get busy.

This is your monkey mind in action.

When this happens, it's important that you don't get frustrated and react. Your only goal is to observe your thoughts. As soon as you become aware of what your thought loops are, simply return to your breath.

While you may enjoy 5 seconds to 1 minute of pure awareness, shortly thereafter, more thoughts will arise. Again, you want to observe your thoughts and be with them. When you're meditating, certain emotions will arise as well.

I like to identify where in my body I'm feeling emotions and get curious about them. At times, the feelings will be so strong that I'll have an urge to stop my meditation altogether. However, if I sit with the emotions long enough, eventually they fade away. The same thing happens with physical sensations that arise.

This is how to meditate for beginners.

Meditation teaches you so much about yourself. It brings awareness to how you think, feel, and move throughout your life. If you're a beginner, I recommend meditating for 10 minutes per day.

Research has shown that a lot of the long-term benefits of meditation occur once you're meditating for 20 minutes per day. If you can work your way up to that, fantastic.

A daily meditation practice transformed my life and it can do the same for you. Connect to your breath and go inward. The answers you seek are found in the stillness.

Are you ready to let go of pain, remove negative blocks and fully surrender to life?

It sounds like a lot to take on, but it's easier than you think.

Letting go is considered to be one of the highest spiritual paths in life. It's also one of the keys to experiencing more happiness, love, and joy in life.

Today I am going to share with you some of the powerful principles of Michael A. Singer. He is the author of the New York Times best-selling book, The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself.

Everything in this Universe is comprised of energy.

Within each of our bodies, there is a chakra system that is always flowing. The chakra system is a complex network of energy channels that exist throughout the whole body, much like a spiritual nervous system.

That energy flow is pure love, happiness, and bliss. Unfortunately, we go through experiences in our lives that create pain, trauma, grief, and shame. These negative emotions create blocks inside of us because of the meaning that we ascribe to our experiences. If the energy in your body is stuck, so too will you.

When negative events happen in your life, don't cling to them or resist them. Most often, when you're hurt or upset, it's because you have expectations and beliefs that aren't being met. I hate to break it to you, but things aren't always going to happen the way that you want them to. Sometimes life has a different plan from your own.

Letting go of the need to control your destiny is key. Michael Singer teaches people how to surrender and let go so that they can remove the negative blocks that reside inside of them. By doing this, positive emotions, like joy and happiness can flow through us with grace and ease.

Rather, learn how to be present with these experiences without creating meaning or attaching yourself to them. The ultimate freedom is being able to surrender to the moment and trust that everything in life happens for a reason.

You need to learn how to relax and release.

The moment that you get caught in negative emotions, you create a block in the flow of positive energy. This is the moment at which you need to observe your thoughts. Instead of getting attached to them, you need to become an observer of them.

Experts estimate that the mind thinks between 60,000 – 80,000 thoughts a day. If the majority of those thoughts are negative, how do you think your day is going to go? When you don't cling to your thoughts, negative experiences will merely pass by. By doing so, you allow the next moment to emerge. Mastering this peocess will require that you practice it every single day.

One of the best ways to surrender and let go is by harnessing the power of the breath. You can do this through yoga, meditation or spiritual practices, like Ayahuasca. These mindfulness-based processes will allow you to drop out of your head and into your heart and spirit.

Ready to let go of pain and fully surrender to life?

Make this your new daily mantra – “Relax, release, surrender.” The more that you can do this, the more that you are allowing energy to flow through your body freely. Eventually, you will get to a point where you feel good about your life without even knowing why!

If you resonate with what I've spoken about in this blog, I encourage you to go deeper with the work of Michael Singer. His online course, Loving From a Place of Surrender changed my life in so many ways. Give your body, mind, and spirit the medicine that it's asking for.

How will you practice letting go this week?

BELIEF and FAITH (Hint: You Need Both!) https://projectlifemastery.com/belief-and-faith/ https://projectlifemastery.com/belief-and-faith/#respond Sat, 07 Apr 2018 02:39:56 +0000 https://projectlifemastery.com/?p=8082 Anything that you want to achieve in life begins and ends in your mind. Learn 8 strategies for how to develop unshakeable belief and faith in yourself!

The post BELIEF and FAITH (Hint: You Need Both!) appeared first on Project Life Mastery.

]]>

Belief and faith are the cornerstones to achieving success in life. 

It is imperative that you have an unshakeable belief and faith in yourself. Anybody can make the invisible, visible if they believe it is possible. However, a lot of people are stuck in a negative cycle of limiting beliefs. Trust me, I've been down this road.

I used to hold a lot of limiting beliefs about who I was as a person. From an early age, we can be negatively influenced by our parents, social media, or society to believe that we aren't good enough. As a result, we develop negative thought patterns that hold us back in life.

The good news is that we have the power to change our beliefs. I believe that belief and faith are two of the most overlooked superpowers. Without them, we can't take action to achieve our goals.

In the words of John Paul Warren, “Belief has the power to change your inner state and your outer world.” Are you ready to learn 8 strategies for harnessing the power of belief and faith?

Without belief and faith, many of the world's greatest inventions would never have existed.

Do you think any of the most successful people in this world, like Steve Jobs or Oprah Winfrey, lack belief in themselves? Absolutely not. As many of you know, I am addicted to personal growth and development. I study and learn from these people. What I have found is that they all possess an unwavering belief in their ability to succeed.

There is a famous saying that reads, “When you see it, you believe it.”

This is far from true. When you believe in yourself, then you will be able to visualize what it is that you want to create. Everything that you desire in life starts in your mind – a thought, an idea or a goal – that excites you so much so that you pursue it.

In his book, Psycho-Cybernetics, Maxwell Maltz reveals that negative habits can be changed. In his own words, “The ‘self-image' is the key to human personality and human behavior. Change the self-image and you change the personality and the behavior.” 

Belief and faith are choices. When we take responsibility for our lives, we are accountable for the principles that we live by. With this line of thinking, if we have control of our beliefs, then that means we have the power to create our worlds. From this place, anything is possible.

I believe that faith is the ultimate belief.

Belief and faith are closely related but are not the same. A belief is something a person perceives is true, whereas faith is a matter of trust that inevitably leads to action. Faith is about trusting the process of life, and knowing that everything is unfolding exactly as it should.

Unfortunately, a lot of people don't have faith that they can create a better tomorrow. As Tony Robbins once said, “Your past does not equal your future”, so it's time to stop living there!

Just because you failed in the past, whether that was in the form of a failed relationship or business venture, doesn't mean that the same bad things are going to happen again. I believe that life lessons are designed to make us grow and evolve. I don't let failures define who I am or dictate where I am going to go in my life.

Let's explore 8 strategies for how to develop unshakeable belief and faith in yourself.

1. Commit To A New Way Of Thinking

The past is over. You can't go back and change anything. However, you can empower yourself to commit to a new way of thinking, believing, and acting. If your belief and faith in yourself are limiting, acknowledge those feelings, thank them for showing up, and then do the work to move through them.

The power of choice is a beautiful thing. Today you can choose to move beyond anything and everything that no longer serves your highest self. How would your life change if you knew that you could do and be anything that your heart desired? Feel into that.

2. Uncover The Root Cause Of Your Limiting Beliefs 

We all have limiting beliefs that hold us back from success. Are your beliefs limiting you? If so, you are not alone. I know how debilitating limiting beliefs can be. For years I struggled with a belief that I wasn't good enough.

There was a time in my life where I was broke, unhappy, extremely shy, and alone. In order to make a change in my life, I had to hit rock bottom. That is when I decided to recondition my mindset to focus on the good. When I made this shift, my belief and faith in my abilities skyrocketed.

How did I do this?

The best way to crush your limiting beliefs is by getting to the root cause. Look back to your childhood. What were you conditioned to believe about yourself and why? Once you start figuring out the answers to these questions, then you can begin the process of undermining your limiting beliefs with evidence that shows that they aren't true!

I hate to break it to you, but the only person in your way is you. Don't be a victim of your false beliefs. They don't have to control your life. It's your choice.

3. Be Kind To Yourself 

We all know that our minds can be our friend or our foe. Developing the resilience that it takes in order to develop belief and faith in yourself takes time. Be kind to yourself. Change doesn't happen overnight.

Reconditioning old ways of thinking is a process. If you are looking for a short-term fix, you are going to be looking for a long time. When you have a good day, celebrate yourself!

Go to the spa, buy something nice, or treat yourself to a beautiful dinner. What gets rewarded, gets repeated. That includes empowering thoughts.

4. Drop Negative Self-Talk

Words are powerful. Be more aware of how you speak to yourself on a daily basis. Do you wake up in the morning and tell yourself that you capable of success, or does your monkey mind take over and point out all of the reasons why you aren't where you should be in life?

Coulds, woulds, and shoulds are the killers of dreams. Negative thinking fosters negative emotions, like anxiety and worry. In this place, it's easy to lose belief and faith in ourselves. Discipline yourself to think positively, even if it doesn't feel natural at first.

5. Create A Morning Ritual 

Many of you who follow me know what a big believer I am in the power of rituals. I’ve been doing them since I was 17 years old.

I can confidently say that a morning ritual changed my life. I used to struggle with shyness, social anxiety, and depression. By engaging in positive habits every day, I was able to create a belief and faith in my abilities that I could have never received from a book, a course, or a seminar.

Did I see results overnight? Absolutely not. It takes time to get rid of bad habits.

If you want to build habits that last a lifetime, you need to practice them consistently. In the words of Tony Robbins, “The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.”

Positive affirmations are a great way to kickstart your confidence for the day ahead. I encourage you to integrate them into your morning routine and watch your beliefs shift. They are a great way to reprogram your mindset for positivity.

If you don't wake up every day feeling happy, energized, and confident, it's time to make a change. A morning ritual is an answer.

6. Embrace Failure 

If you want to have belief and faith in yourself, you need to embrace failure, knowing that it is OK to fall. When we fail, it's easy to fall into a trap of thinking that we aren't worthy of achieving success. Wrong. Don't ever allow failure to hold you back from accomplishing your goals.

Failure is a normal part of life. I've failed thousands of times in my business. However, that doesn't mean that failure feels good. It can bring up a lot of limiting beliefs in people. When challenges arise, you need to shift your mindset and have belief and faith that you can keep going.

What matters more is that you learn from your mistakes. Find opportunities amidst failure, so that you come back more knowledgeable and stronger than ever before.

An MRI study by the University of Southern California found that having the opportunity to learn from failure can turn it into a positive experience IF the brain has a chance to learn from its mistakes.

The only thing that differentiates a successful person from one who fails is grit, otherwise known as a perseverance and passion for achieving one's goals.

7. Create An Action Plan

Belief and faith in yourself is an achievable goal only if you set up an action plan. Tailor your plan to fit your values and needs. It's all about learning how to fall in love with the process of becoming.

Building belief and faith in yourself is a never-ending journey that you need to develop and work on. Learn how to enjoy the ride.

When you are able to design a plan that supports your new beliefs, success is yours for the taking! If you need some help making sense of how you can put your plan into action, seek out the guidance of a coach or mentor.

8. Ignore The Noise From Others

Sometimes it can be hard to believe in ourselves when we don't have support from others. You need to have an unwavering belief and faith in your journey, no matter what anyone else says to you.

Don’t allow anyone to ever have that much power and control over your life. At the end of the day, it's your life. We all have different journeys in life. All that matters is that you stay committed to your vision.

Having belief and faith in yourself is the first step to creating positive, lasting change in your life.

When you have belief and faith that you can achieve anything in this world, you become unstoppable. If you change your belief about what you are capable of, limits will no longer exist. Whether you think you can or can't, you're right.

I hope I have inspired you to tap into your potential as a human being. Don't ever let your fears and insecurities define who you are. If your mind slips back into limitations, don't beat yourself up. Just get back up, keep building up your belief and faith, and find your calling in life.

As Aaron Sorkin says, “Act as if ye have faith, and faith shall be given to you. To put it another way, fake it till you make it.” What would you do if you weren't afraid? When you harness the power of belief and faith, fear is no longer a part of your vocabulary.

Today I would like to walk you through my morning ritual for daily success, motivation and productivity. This routine allows me to optimize my body, mind, and spirit so that I can perform at my best, every day.

I’m a big believer in the power of rituals. I’ve been doing them since I was 17 years old. I used to struggle with shyness, social anxiety, and depression.

By creating a morning ritual, I was able to recondition my beliefs and transform every area of my life.

The morning is the best time to condition your mindset. Research shows that your mood in the morning affects your productivity all day.

Are you ready to wake up every day, feeling more productive, energized, and happier? My morning ritual for daily success, motivation and productivity will allow you to make that happen.

Discipline is one of greatest barriers that prevent people from achieving success in life. If you want to build habits that stick, you need to be consistent with them. In the words of Tony Robbins says, “The secret of your success is found in your daily routine.”

How you start the day is how you end the day. If you only engage in a habit once in a while, it won’t stick. It’s what you do consistently that makes the difference.

How do you start your mornings?

If you wake up in a reactive state, you will move throughout your entire day feeling stressed and anxious. A lot of people believe that they need a triple espresso as soon as they get out of bed. This way of thinking is counterintuitive.

My morning ritual for daily success, motivation and productivity provides me with a natural ‘buzz.' It makes me feel unstoppable, without the negative effects that come from over-use of stimulants.

Do you wake up every morning, feeling tired and sluggish, even though you slept for 8 hours? If so, it’s time to start a morning ritual.

If you want to maximize your productivity, you need to spend the first part of your morning taking care of YOU. If you make your job, your partner, or your friends a priority, then you need to commit to making yourself a priority as well.

Just like you train your body at the gym, you need to train your brain every day. I treat myself as if I am a high-performance athlete. I know that if I want to get the most out of myself, I have to create rituals that will allow me to do just that.

In order to make sure that I successfully complete my morning ritual for daily success, motivation and productivity, I create a list and check-off each activity, as I complete it.

The purpose of a checklist is so that I can visually measure my progress as time goes on. If you don’t have a plan for your life and you just move throughout your day aimlessly, then you’re not going to get the most out of it.

Here is my morning ritual for daily success, motivation and productivity:

1. Smile

The first thing that I do the moment that I wake up is smile. When you start your day with gratitude, it shifts your entire perspective. Every day that you are alive is a gift, and you need to treat it as such. Don’t ever take your life for granted.

Don’t get me wrong. I don’t feel happy and positive 100% every morning, but by training myself to smile and start the day in an empowering way, I am setting myself up for success.

Research shows that when you smile, neurochemicals and peptides are released, which tricks your body into raising your dopamine; which in turn raises your spirits and calms your nervous system.

2. Drink Water

After you’ve been sleeping for 7-8 hours your body is dehydrated, and your cells crave water. I’ve got a water ionizer that I use which produces high quality, 9.5 alkaline water.

By drinking water first thing in the morning, you kick-start your metabolism, which will give you immediate energy and flush out toxins from your body.

3. Take Supplements

I start off by taking a shot of apple cider vinegar, which is a great bacteria killer. Then, on an empty stomach, I take a digestive enzyme supplement called, Masszymes. I also take a variety of other supplements, like B12 and Vitamin D3.

Supplements like these ensure that I have energy throughout the day, so that I never have to rely on caffeine or sugar. More importantly, engaging in this body ritual ensures that I will experience optimal health and performance, over the long-term.

4. Read A Book

I spend at least 10 minutes every morning reading an inspiring book on my Kindle reader. Don’t start your day by obsessing over social media, or reading negative things on the news. Instead, try feeding your mind with positive information and commit to learning something new.

5. Write in my Journals

After reading a book, I like to write in my Five Minute Journal, a simple exercise that allows me to focus on what is most important for me to accomplish throughout my day.

I also write in my Productivity Planner, which offers a similar process. I write down what my most important task for the day is, what my secondary tasks of importance are, and then determine what my daily productivity score is.

For those of you who are spiritual, I also write in my Christian gratitude journal.

6. Lie Down On My PEMF Mat

A PEMF mat is a portable mat that produces pulsed electromagnetic fields around an individual’s body. I lie on this mat every morning and do my meditation.

The health benefits of PEMF are amazing, some of which include regenerating nerves, reducing stress and fatigue, and eliminating bodily toxins.

I hope you enjoyed learning about my morning ritual for daily success, motivation and productivity! If you want the more in-depth version, that covers all of my rituals, then join my 7-day course, Morning Ritual Mastery.

Rituals have been the secret to my success, and have allowed me to become the person that I am today. Invest in yourself. Your body, mind, and spirit deserve it.

I would like to share with you how to grow spiritually by expanding your consciousness. By definition, consciousness is the state or quality of awareness. It is what allows us to experience and react to the world.

For decades, philosophers and scientists have been trying to solve the mind-body problem of consciousness. Conscious awareness is one of the most puzzling facets of the human brain.In the words of David Chalmer, “Our consciousness is a fundamental aspect of our existence, but at the same time it’s the most mysterious phenomenon in the universe.” 

As human beings, we have the power to expand our consciousness. This means opening ourselves to new possibilities, reconnecting with our inner selves, and freeing ourselves from limiting beliefs that have been holding us back from happiness and fulfillment.

Each of us moves through our own personal path to increased spiritual growth. Are you ready to grow spiritually by expanding your consciousness? This is the first step towards a brighter and more abundant life.

Rasheed Ogunlaru once said, “It’s not the world that needs to change – it’s our consciousness we must raise.” In order to understand how to grow spiritually by expanding your consciousness, you need to have an awareness of what the 4 levels of consciousness are:

1. Egocentric

The identity at the egocentric level is purely focused on the Self. When we are born, we are dependent on another human being for survival. Because of this, this identity does not notice other peoples’ needs. At this level, growth requires acknowledging oneself in relation to others. If one doesn’t make the next step, the result is a feeling of emptiness and lack of fulfillment.

2. Ethnocentric

At this level, the identity expands to a feeling of empathy and connection with others close to them. Although this identity is more selfless in its nature, care for others doesn’t expand beyond family and friends.

3. World-centric

At this level of consciousness, the identity cares about humanity at large, holding the belief that we are all the same. These types of people give back, because they are passionate about serving. These are the Mother Teresa’s and Nelson Mandela’s of the world. They know that if they want to evolve and grow, they have to grow and give to others.

4. Spirit-centric

This level of consciousness moves beyond about mere humanity and experiences a sense of responsibility and empathy for all living things.

Do you want to know how you can expand your consciousness? Care more. That is why I love business. It is a spiritual practice. To truly succeed in business, you need to raise your consciousness. You need to put others’ needs above your own.

When you care about something greater than yourself, you expand who you are, because it’s not about YOU anymore, Rather, it’s about serving the greater good.

For example, I have to take care of my mind and body, because I need to take into account my higher purpose, which is life mastery. I want to be a role model for others, so I need to be in alignment with my world-centric level of consciousness.

My greatest quality that has allowed me to achieve so much success in my life is my desire to care for and give to others. I wake up every day and ask myself, “How can I serve others and make a positive impact in the world?” In the words of Gary Zukav, “Spiritual growth requires the development of inner knowing. It requires the heart, not the intellect.” Drop our of your head and into your heart. Reconnect with your inner self and be open to life’s possibilities.

I challenge you to observe where your consciousness feels blocked or limited. The beauty of life is that, as human beings, we have the power to let go of disempowering beliefs at any moment, and replace them with more empowering ones. When you grow spiritually by expanding your consciousness, you raise your vibration, thereby awakening to a new, more fulfilled sense of reality.
