You Must Nurture Success-Minded Thinking

"You Become What You Think About
Most Of The Time."
-

In order to accomplish a successful result, you must begin with a mindset that sufficiently prepares you to implement the actions necessary for a positive outcome. In other words, simply jumping into an action without first properly preparing your thoughts for the process is like showing up for a job interview without an appointment or any worthwhile forethought. If that's not self-sabotage, what is?
-
To achieve actions that consistently support the outcomes you desire, take the time to invest in "success-minded thinking." That involves a vision of your desired end result, a plan for the actions that truly favor your success, and believing that the outcome you want is what will occur.
-

There is a workable philosophy at the core of success-minded thinking. That is, you become what you think about most of the time. If you constantly think about the possibility of failure, that's most likely going to be your outcome. However, if you consciously make the effort to think in positive terms, where you visualize your successful accomplishment --- and when negative thoughts arise, immediately replace them with constructive thoughts --- then you are definitely on the right track.
-
Should you decide to take this advice to heart, then realize that you will experience increased success every single time you consciously focus on your more favorable thinking patterns and implement planned actions for your desired outcome. Like any worthwhile endeavor, practice will make the process easier and increasingly more achievable.

Success-minded thinking can initially be challenging for many people. Particularly when you consider that expecting the possibility of failure has been the norm for years. But, once you truly understand that "you become what you think about most of the time," your perspective takes on an entirely new and fresh outlook toward achieving success.

Well-Constructed Affirmations Accelerate Success

Repeated Affirmations Support Action

... imagine a personal advocate whispering positive support ---
even when you're not aware of it.

Once you become clear about a goal you want to accomplish and consistently keep focused on it, how to achieve it will keep surfacing. One effective method to implement and support the process is through the use of affirmations.

-
An affirmation is a statement that describes a goal in its already completed state. The purpose of the affirmation is to repeatedly tap into the subconscious mind for eventual positive and sustained change to achieve one's goal. Examples of an affirmation are: "I am confident and proud after receiving my promotion in only 5 months or better," or "I am celebrating the completion my 4-year degree in only 3 years," or "I am feeling the sun and wind on my face while riding my new silver Harley," or "I am enthusiastically and effectively communicating with an audience of 100 people or more."

-
Some key components of a well-stated affirmation include:
-
Make affirmations only for yourself --- this is only about you and your completed desire.
-
Begin with "I am" --- the subconscious mind interprets these words as a directive to make the statement happen.
-
State the affirmation postively and in the present tense --- omit any negative reference such as "no" or "don't," and describe as already achieved.
-
Be specific and brief --- nonspecific words produce vague results, and edit so each word is important and easy to remember.
-
Incorporate an "ing" action word(s) --- it emphasizes active power and a vision of accomplishment.
-
Include a word(s) expressing emotion or feeling --- emotionally, how would you be feeling when the goal was achieved?
-
Add "something better," ". . . better" or "more" --- often including such words will expand the potential for greater possibilities (beyond your original consideration)
-
When you visualize the completion of a goal and repeatedly affirm the end result (silently, aloud and written), your subconscious mind will soon automatically do this for you (like someone supportively whispering in your ear). The results of the well-constructed affirmation process can be absolutely amazing. It is a fairly simple and effective way to help achieve one's goals. Yet, very few people consistently implement the use of affirmations, so those who do really have a competitive edge!

Visualization: Think Search, Find, and Support

VISUALIZATION: Accelerate the brain to achieve more for YOU

-

When one learns to employ the proven process of visualization, desired goals can be within reach much sooner than one might first expect. It activates the subconscious mind to find solutions and boosts new levels of motivation.

When creating compelling and vivid pictures in the mind, the subconscious will search and capture the information needed to bring the image increasingly closer to reality. This process stimulates the brain to become aware of anything that will help accompllish the goal that is pictured (see reticular activating system -RAS- Blog post February, 2006). Think search, find, and support.

The effective implementation of visualization is probably the most UNDER-utilized success tool that we possess. Unfortunately, most people simply do not take advantage of this powerful technique to achieve their goals. But that can be reversed quickly if one will seriously consider the benefits to be derived from well-formed goals being vividly pictured in the mind.

In a Harvard study, researchers discovered that students who visualized in advance performed tasks with nearly 100% accuracy, compared to those who did not visualize and achieved only 55% accuracy. It is pretty common knowledge that best performing athletes use the art of visualization to mentally practice their success before competing --- with outstanding results.

The individual who learns to properly set goals (click on Goals below) and then proceeds to also use the process of consistantly visualizing their successful completion will always have the competitive edge and be ahead of the pack. - Learn to write down well-constructed goals, review and affirm them, and visualize them every day.

For help in setting, implementing, and visualizing goals for successful achievement, study the Previous Posts and Archives of this Blog or visit the Coaching Confidential website. Better yet, begin the productive process of one-on-one personal coaching.

Are Others Trying to Sabotage You?

Beware of the Dream-dashers!

There are people, usually due to their own insecurities, who will directly or indirectly attempt to DASH (sabotage) your dreams. They are the dream-dashers. If you truly believe in something you want to accomplish (whether for yourself or to aid others), do NOT let the dream-dasher in. They will diminish your vision and squelch your excitement before you realize what is happening.
-
Sometimes the dream-dasher is disguised as one offering to play "the devil's advocate" (an appropriate moniker), and other times this person will literally try to talk you out of your vision.
-
If you have realistically weighed the value of your pursuit and believe whole-heartedly in your dream, then carefully determine with whom and how you will communicate your vision.
-
It is wonderful when you can share exciting news about an idea you have developed. In fact, it is a conscious and subconscious move forward when you can share your vision. The experience of sharing your dream with someone who is positive and supportive will actally strengthen your belief that you can achieve it. Such a trusted individual can often help you expand your vision with even more possibilities.
-
When you believe in your vision and you want to see it grow and prosper, engage the people who you know will be nurturing and supportively honest. While they relish your enthusiasm, they will also reveal additional ideas to help crystallize your thinking. This is very different than approaching the person who seems to find strange pleasure in dashing other people's ideas, dreams, and goals.
-
Believe in the genius that gave birth to your idea, be cautious as to whom you entrust your precious imagination, and then enthusiastically pursue your dream with insight and planning.

The Mind Thirsts for Constructive Input

Your Mind thirsts for nurturing input and positive outcomes

The mind thirsts for your input and follow-through to achieve. This part of you that feels, perceives, and reasons is designed to solve problems and to help you reach the goals that you give it.

The thoughts you choose to contribute toward your desired outcome gage the results you derive.

Think of your mind as a clean slate, where you have the opportunity to nourish and empower it with only the healthiest thoughts, beliefs, and intentions. Now, realizing that your mind wants to experience positive outcomes and take its instructions from you, what exactly is it that you want to invest so that you can experience the greatest return for your efforts?

Your mind holds a tremendous desire to be positively stimulated and to experience the feeling of success. In the words of Thomas Edison, "If we did all the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves."

Does Your Self-Image Need a Makeover?

Nurture Self-Image for Success

Each of us has our own native abilities, signature strengths, learning styles, and personality traits. Does the image you hold of yourself recognize these factors? Do you see your uniqueness, respect it, and nurture it? Do you feel a sense of pride, confidence, and purpose?

As you move through your daily life, your self-image can support or sabotage your efforts. It can mean the difference between feeling inspired or apathetic and taking action or remaining stagnate. An immediate way to begin addressing this issue is to take note of the mental pictures you hold of yourself. Are those images in alignment with what you actually desire for your life? If they are, that's wonderful -- continue to nurture and support yourself. Don't take your present state for granted.

However, if after an honest self-appraisal, you feel a change is required to match the self-image you want, then figure out what change is necessary and make a commitment to accomplish it. Mentally see the change you want and its successful completion in as much detail as possible. While taking daily action to make the change, continue to repeatedly visualize your desired outcome, refining it as you go along. If you are persistent in this process, you will notice a shift in how you perceive yourself. Your self-image will experience a positive transformation, your confidence level will increase, and you will generate enthusiasm and momentum to accomplish more in your life. Learn to laser in on what really counts.

Focus On What You Want -- Visualize

Develop the Art of Visualization

"The world is a looking glass. It gives back to every man

a true reflection of his own thoughts."

- Thackery, English novelist

Once you begin to practice the art of truly visualizing the successful attainment of your goals, you will begin to understand the positive impact of this process. Begin by giving free-rein to your imagination. As best you can, set aside your inhibitions as you infuse your creativity. In time, you will become skilled at visualizing the achievement of your desired outcome.

Each day and/or evening set aside dedicated time to picture, fantasize, and visualize your goals as if they had already been accomplished. This step is very important --- be consistent in this practice. Try to see things as you want them to be, instead of as they are. Close your eyes and project clear mental pictures. Visualize your appearance and actions just as they would be if your goals had already been attained.

For example, you may want to imagine yourself sitting in a theater; and while looking at the movie screen, see yourself successfully accomplishing your desires. Focus your attention on the details of your accomplished results. When you repeatedly form a clear picture of your future, you will soon find ways and means to bring it into reality.

At first, don't be concerned about how you are going to do it, just focus on what you want to do. Your inspiration for how you will achieve your goal and the self-motivation for forging ahead will surface naturally. Your vivid imagination will lead to desire, and that will lead to action and belief --- and ultimately creating circumstances and opportunities which you may seize to produce the results you want.

Did you know that there is an
"Attention Center" in the brain?
Find out about RAS and why goal setting works
Contributed by Jim Henion

Email David@CoachingConfidential.com to learn more

Why does the simple process of writing out goals and visualizing their accomplishment work? Although there are many theories about this, one is related to what is called the Reticular Activating System (RAS). It is an integral part of every persons brain and motivation process.

The RAS is the attention center in the brain. It is the key to "turning on the subconscious capabilities of the creative mind." Many believe it to be the center of motivation. This system determines what we pay attention to. In other words, it is the part of the brain where the world "outside" of you and your "inside" world of thoughts and feelings come together and meet.

Goal setting is the process of telling your RAS what is important to you, so that it lets in information that is important to the achievement of a particular goal.
