When the world comes crashing down around you, my recommendation is that you create your own rescue plan! Create your own “bailout” instead of waiting around for the government or anyone else to do it for you!
Maybe you’re thinking, “but I’m scared Doug!”
Well friend, you’re not alone! And yet one of the most understood things about fear, as is the case with most things, is that there are two sides to every situation! Fear serves you as a natural protection measure, and at the same time, fear can make you a prisoner if you let it.
Working with clients (and myself too!) there comes a point when you just have to decide that today is the day I choose to control how I respond to life and therefore create my own experience of it and ignore the external influences.
Remember that emotions like fear, anger and frustration, are your subconscious minds way of yelling at you and saying “Hey!!! Pay attention!!!!”
And instead of doing something about it, too many people give into the fear, turn inside and try to ignore the external world! You’ve seen them, maybe in the mirror!
So what can you do about it?
Remember, you get to choose what you focus on. Will you choose to focus on what you can control, or things you have no control over? Will you focus on the past and what you don’t have or choose to decide what you want and focus on that?
I suggest the first thing you do is to simply take charge of what you allow into your mind! Remember that as you think so you become! You will become what you put into your mind and what you allow others to put there…shut off the news…cancel the paper…whatever it takes.
The next thing to do is to get MOVING!!! Changing your physical state will do wonders for you! My good friend Harold “Bubba” Malloy has been instrumental at helping me and many others understand how important it is to move the body and how the mind and body are connected together. Change one, you’ll change the other!
Others have been there too, you don’t have to go it alone.
In a nut shell
1. Decide right now. ” I’ve had enough!”
2. Decide what you want – and – change what you’re doing!
3. Take Charge! Utilize the circumstances of your life instead of tolerating them!
4. Find a proven plan to get you where you want to go and..
5. Get Moving! Take action until you succeed!
Need some help with any of the above?
Call my office to schedule an appointment right now. I work with people just like you everyday to help them remove obstacles and accelerate the achievement of their life goals. I’m looking forward to working with you.
All you have to do is call, “and I’ll be there.”
Until then,
Doug
