Put your Mind & Body on Autopilot

Put your Mind & Body on Autopilot and reach your goals…automatically.

Did you know that habits are incredibly powerful tools for personal growth and success?

Think about the habits you have now and how they affect virtually every aspect of your life. Your weight and health are determined by your eating habits. Your relationships with people are determined by your social habits. Your success at work is determined by your work habits. You have sleeping habits that dictate how well you sleep. You have sexual habits. You even have buying habits; just take a look around your house and you will quickly see them. Our character, health and virtually every aspect of our lives are indeed determined by our habits.

If you ask ten people on the street what the word habit means, nine out of ten will tell you that a habit is a negative action that people do over and over again, like smoking, or procrastinating, or eating too much. Bad habits get all the press. Let’s look at the results of just one bad habit: smoking. Every year, over 400,000 people lose their lives to smoking-related illnesses in the United States. Imagine then, the negative power that exists in just that one bad habit. It is staggering.

Now I want you think about an even greater power, a power that can bring you success, health and happiness; a power for positive, permanent, and automatic personal growth: the power of positive habits. Let’s look a little closer at the meaning of the word habit. Random House dictionary defines habit in this way:

Habit: An acquired behavior pattern regularly followed until it has become almost involuntary.

The important words in this definition are acquired and almost involuntary. Let me ask you a question. When is the last time you sat down and said to yourself, Today I am going to add a new habit to my life? I would venture to guess that you have probably never said those words. As you read this article, you will see how easy it is to add positive habits to your life and the great power they have to change it. Think about the words almost involuntary. This means the habit is so powerful in your mind that it is almost unstoppable! With respect to bad habits like smoking, procrastination, and overeating, this is very bad. But with positive habits, this is very, very good.

What is a positive habit? A positive habit is simply a habit that produces positive benefits, actions and attitudes you want to acquire and make a part of your life. Why is there such great power in positive habits to effect change? Because habits, by their very nature, are automatic. After a period of time they can become permanent.

So how do we go about adding new positive habits to our life?
It’s really quite easy. You simply begin repeating an action, attitude or thought process every day for at least 21 days. Research has shown that an action that is repeated for a minimum of 21 days is likely to become a permanent habit. Remember that positive habits have positive benefits and you will reap those benefits for as long as you maintain that habit. So now that we know what positive habits are, and how to acquire them, let’s look at some simple positive habits from the book that will help you reach your goals and have a healthier body.

Positive Habit #53 – Make it a habit to set goals

Since we are talking about goals, what better habit could you have then the habit of setting goals? Did you know that the most successful people all share the common positive habit of goal setting? A study was done to determine the importance of goal setting. College students who had gone on to achieve great success in business were asked to list their habits. The students who had made a habit of setting goals were in the top 3% of earnings in the population. It is almost impossible to overestimate the value of goal-setting as a positive habit. Goal setting is simple, yet 97% of the population never do it. By making goal setting a positive habit, you can start placing yourself in the top 3% of the population of successful people.

Here are some simple steps to help you start making goal setting a positive habit:

Step 1 – Define your goals, write them down, and be very specific; capture your goals on paper. It is amazing how many people never take the time to write down exactly what it is they want in life. Remember, you can’t hit a target if you don’t have one.

Step 2 – Determine what the time line is for reaching your goals; set specific deadlines for each goal.

Step 3 – Identify any obstacles that may stand in your way, list them, and state how you plan to overcome them.

Step 4 – Make a list of the people and or organizations who will help you reach your goals.

Positive Habit #3 – Take Flax Every Day for a Healthy, Trim Body and Lower Cholesterol.

What is flax?

Flax is a blue-flowering plant known for its oil-rich seed. People have been eating flaxseed since ancient times, it has a pleasant, nutty flavor. The health benefits of flaxseed and flaxseed oil are significant and for that reason this habit is recommended as a primary habit for health and a trim and fit body. Here are some of the benefits of flaxseed and flaxseed oil:

Flaxseed contains both soluble and insoluble fiber. Several studies have shown that flaxseed can help to lower cholesterol in the same way that other soluble fiber foods like oat bran and fruit pectin do. A study at the University of Toronto showed that total cholesterol levels dropped 9% and LDL (the “bad” cholesterol) decreased 18% among a group of women who ate milled flaxseed cooked into bread every day for a period of 4 weeks.

Flaxseed is one of the richest sources of lignans and alpha-linolenic acid. Studies suggest that lignans may help to prevent certain cancers. Flaxseed is one of the few plants in the plant kingdom that provide a high ratio of alpha-linolenic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid) to linoleic (omega-6 fatty acids), it is an excellent source of healthy polyunsaturated fat.

A new study has confirmed that the positive habit of taking flax seed daily can help you get a trim and fit body. I interviewed Dr. Sam Bhathena, a researcher at the Phytonutrients Laboratory of the US department of Agriculture, he said, we have observed that flax seed meal is much more effective in lowering cholesterol then soy. Several other studies have shown that in general, omega-3 fatty acids, lower lipid deposition, and help in reducing body weight.

Omega-3 fatty acids – More than half the fat contained in flaxseed is omega-3 fatty acid type, an essential fatty acid. There have been numerous studies reporting the health benefits of consuming omega-3 fats. Recent studies suggest that omega-3 fatty acids which are abundant in flax seed can help protect you from coronary artery disease, stroke, high blood pressure, autoimmune and inflammatory disorders. Studies on the effects of flax seed on breast cancer are now under way. Omega-3s can also help boost your metabolism, helping your body to burn calories faster.

Flax is available as raw seed, ground seed and also as an oil which is made by cold pressing flax seeds. You can purchase raw flax seed, ground flax seed and flax seed oil at most health food stores. The easiest way to incorporate flax seed into your diet is to buy ground flax seed meal and add it to your food.

· Substitute for cooking oil or shortening in baked goods.
· Add ground flax seed to pancakes, waffles and cereals.
· Put ground flax seed on salads.

Here is a great recipe for a super health shake. Make a protein shake with 8 ounces of your favorite juice such as apple or orange, add 2 tablespoons of flax seed oil, 2 tablespoons of soy powder, 1 tablespoon of lecithin, fresh fruit such as bananas, papayas or blueberries. Blend with a hand blender or an electric blender. This power shake will provide you with the health benefits of soy; omega-3’s, fiber, antioxidants, and enzymes from the fruit, and the fat loss benefits of lecithin.

What’s Your Success Potential?

If I asked you what you feel your potential for success is, what would you say. What do you expect? I mean really?

Last week I had an amazing experience down in Orlando, Florida. It was three exciting days in a drama-packed joint venture conference. One after another top self-made internet millionaires took the platform to weave their magic.

The rest of us were there to put together the fabric of joint business opportunities and visit with friends. Was the time and expense worth it? Oh yes. Many times over.

I was struck by many similarities among these top players. What were they? Well they all took the platform handsomely dressed in beautifully cut suits. They handled themselves well in front of an audience. And they were each very willing to share how they had achieved their unique millionaire status.

You might not recognize the names of these remarkable people. But I can tell you this. Combined, I would estimate they have been responsible for 80 to 100 million dollars or more of sales on the internet.

So are they worth listening to? Well I most certainly think so. And the common theme coming from these remarkable self-made leaders was this:

To grow your business you first have to grow yourself.

What does this mean? The message is really very simple. Your business or profession is a direct extension of YOU and YOUR actions. The ultimate success of taking your dream to reality status is totally in YOUR hands. And that means that, regardless of how good your idea or product, your success ultimately depends on YOU.

Over the years I have had the opportunity to work with some remarkably successful people. And I can tell you this-success is not achieved by finally reaching your end goal.

The charisma and self-confidence that marks highly success people is a clue to what success really is. These people became successful by becoming the person that their goal belonged to.

They each identified their goal, committed to achieve it, and then set out to become the person that goal belongs to. They had to not only become the best at their specialty, they also had to learn to take the DAILY ACTIONS of a successful person.

They had to grow past anything holding them back, and literally recreate themselves. THAT is the superglue that enables these winners to do what they do. It’s who he has become that enables Willie Crawford to just decide to make a million over a three-month period, and simply do it. And that enables Joshua Shafran to create 50 million for his mentoring clients.

Neither of these men were born rich. Neither had years of privileged education. They started from the ground zero. They actually re-created themselves into successful multi-millionaires from the inside out. Are they now self-confident and charismatic? You bet. But they did NOT start out that way.

Here’s the point, then I will climb down off my soapbox. Regardless of what you feel are your limitations, YOU are ALSO a potential top achiever in your field. The only question is, will you GROW yourself into the person your goal belongs to?

Feeling bored, restless, or dissatisfied with the direction or circumstances of your life can actually be a very positive sign. It’s positive because it indicates you’re at a major turning point in your life-your “box” has become too small.

You know what a box looks like. It has four sides, a bottom, and usually also a top. It’s made to contain something within its limits.

So what do I mean when I say that if you are feeling restless and dissatisfied, it’s because your box is too small?

Each of us really does create our own box, or set of limits for our own life. These limits are based on our beliefs about our past experiences, and the rules we then create for ourselves to avoid future pain and failure. The box becomes our reality-a comfort zone that lulls us to sleep. Your box contains and limits your vision of what you really want, and how to get it.

So… if you feel sick and tired of feeling boxed in by your past choices, that’s actually a great sign. Your subconscious mind is telling you it’s time to bust out.

There’s a reason those successful self-made millionaires all have bookcases packed with personal growth materials. They know that YOU are the secret to your ultimate success-not your idea or product or profession or business. It’s all about YOU.

I would like to humbly suggest you take a look at my entrepreneurs guide to making yourself the person your goal belongs to. It’s called Smash Your Limits  for a reason. I hope to soon see YOU up on the success-achiever’s platform.
