How To Use Your Brain To Get What You Want PT 8

“…Small wins in the right direction each moment or each day get you further than a massive effort performed only once and then not repeated. Water can cut a path through enormous land mass and rock even when it begins as just a trickle. It is those thoughts, feelings and things you do bit by bit each day that make the most incredible difference in the long run. Condition yourself for more success and happiness by creating the habits that support you in getting what you want.

Every journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. It is each successive step you take, after you begin, that gets you down the road and on the way. If you keep moving in the right direction you eventually get there, but if you stop and quit you never will…”

“The bottom line is – when you make a tenacious decision that you will not let anything stop you in making your life what you want it to be, even if you don’t yet know how to do all that, you have won more than half of the battle. This is important to keep in mind. It is also important to remember this next point. You don’t need to know “how you will go about it” to begin getting what you want. Yes, it sounds counter-intuitive but I’ll explain more fully soon.

For now play with being clear about what you want and intend. Commit to yourself! Promise yourself you will do this and then keep your promise! While determined in your mind also relax. Know you can do this, step by step, you will learn as you go along, you will make improvements along the way to your condition and you will get better results as you stick with it. Be firm in your mind. If you decide you will do it relax. There is no need to be anxious if you determine you will follow through.

You don’t have to ask over and over, you only have to ask once. It is not about hoping something will happen. This is about deciding your purpose and keeping your purpose clearly in your mind. So you don’t have to ask over and over. You don’t have to beg your future to come true. You are not hoping or wishing. You are making a clear decision on where you want to end up and you are traveling to that destination. You may be eager but you know you will ultimately get there. It is the same matter of fact, relaxed mind set you have when you think about going to the store or a favorite vacation spot.

You know where you want to go and you go there. The more you make the journey there enjoyable the better off you will be. You may be eager but since you know where you are headed you expect to get there. So relax. Get clear on it, get precise, get thrilled!

Imagine it as clearly and as detailed as you can in your mind’s eye. Spend time continuing to improve on this by repeating the process daily. The more you spend time imagining what it is you want the clearer the inner images can become. It is just like developing any muscle in the body. The more practice or exercise the better you get at it.

Drop by drop fills the tub. Spend some time each day thinking about your goals and what you want. Imagine that incredible future. Let the notion of living that way supercharge you and feel wonderful. Spend each day finding the best feelings and enjoying the day in incredible ways. Make it a point to live each day in the best most positive way you can.

If things come along to upset that plan, get back on course as soon as you are able. Nudge yourself back into it as you are able. Think: ‘all is good’. ‘great things are here for me even when I can’t yet see them’, ‘everything has a way of working out for me, so hang in there’. Think thoughts that comfort you, relax you as well as make you feel positive and powerful. Look for and find the good in every situation. Reframe any difficulty as opportunity and turn a less than glorious moment to your advantage by how you think and feel about it.

Accept roadblocks as temporary conditions. Know that as you go through them you will grow stronger and better. Everything IS really a frame of mind.

Lastly, keep this in mind because I think this is critical to our understanding.

Prior to humans on the planet cataclysmic changes shook the world. There were gorgeous days and tumultuous ones. Hot spells and cold spells. Anything that could happen did happen. Masses of land came and went due to weather, earthquakes, volcanoes, meteors, you name it. Every type of situation and circumstance happened.

All through this time, for eons and eons what there was NOT, what did not exist, was any human to state whether these events were good or bad or right or wrong. They simply occurred without anyone around to judge it. They simply happened, things simple were. Things existed and no one named them.

As humans arrived and became goal setters and getters judgments arose as to whether something was easy or hard and whether we could move forward unimpeded or if our efforts were thwarted. Judgements arose!

The human mind put a filter on all that was and declared things to be one way or another. Humans judge. Prior to humans things just were. Humans named these advantageous or calamity. They all are judged by how things affected the human. The truth of the matter is things still just are. They are neither good nor bad. They simply are. They are neither wanted or unwanted. YOU determine the meaning each circumstance has. You and I put our judgement on events, situations and people. In reality everything just is.

We could decide to not label, not judge, and just let things be. This is difficult for most of us because we were not brought up learning to do this. However, once we realize that it IS whatever we call it, and that whatever we call it may determine how we feel, think and act, then what we should realize is THAT WE make it so. We create our experiences by the meaning we attach to them. We create our experience by the importance we put on them.

When you pick up a stick you pick up both ends.

There is always contrasts. Things come along that may be unexpected and may seem to be negative. In reality nothing is negative or positive except for electrical charges. A battery has both poles but we don’t label one better or one worse. because both are necessary.

Life has its share of disappointments. If we can stop judging so much we can be free to enjoy everything in new ways. When we let go asserting ‘bad things’ we free up our mind to look for the seeds of positivity within.

The negative in life, since we understand how these terms are used, is as necessary as the positive. It is there as all things are there. It just is. From it we can grow and learn and move forward. Since judgements arise from us it is better, more positive, more opportune to declare less than glorious situations and people as challenges or opportunities that as bad things.

The point is this: It is whatever you say it is! As a result you will think and feel as a result of your labeling it. Whether you declare it good or bad AND that is what we have been doing all along. SO here is the change I propose. Imagine how much more wonderful life would be IF EVERYTHING that ever happened was an opportunity? Wouldn’t that be incredible. Every situation, person, event, that ever occurs is an opportunity, imagine that! Even if that isn’t true imagine how your life would be different if you had that frame of mind and looked for the good in all things instead of being victim to the bad.

Certainly, you can recognize a tough time. You don’t have to lie or ignore. You can say, ‘I have some challenges right now and I am not yet sure how it will resolve but things always have a way of working out well for me. I’ll be surprised I am sure because there are opportunities in this situation I have not yet discovered but I am looking to find them. I know ultimately this will work out for the very best’. Or say something to that effect. All is good. All will work out. In actuality it really all does somehow work out.

Keep in mind YOU become what YOU think about most of the time. You are either mostly positive or mostly negative but never 100%. SO as with all processes things change. We must accept that and continue to move forward in positive ways. Find the good in all, look for it, and you will find it. It may be hidden and you may have to search but you will find. Frankly, I believe if you did nothing else but this – find the good in everything – your life would already be radically better. Our mind set is incredibly powerful and our attitude does determine our altitude!

When we keep our focus on what we want, when we appreciate and notice and emphasize the thoughts and positive actions that makes us feel good we get more of it back. We live in a more permanent positive condition, and whatever comes are way, that is otherwise, we are better equipped to handle it. Keep the faith, relax, keep at it, and enjoy” Rex Sikes

How To Use Your Brain To Get What You Want PT 7

…”You reinforce what you want to occur through repetition. You see it as already yours. You keep it alive with the wonderful feelings and you visit it often through out each day. When you do this repeatedly through much of the day you are building your positive muscle and forming a new positive habit.

Do this more times than you think negatively and you will spend most of your time thinking and feeling positive. We get what we predominantly think about. We always have and always will manifest our dominant thoughts. Hence, we become what we think about.”

Continued from How To Use Your Brain To Get What You Want Pt 6

“You want to maintain faith that this is what you end up with no matter what happens around you,regardless of your present or prior circumstances. You keep your eye on the prize and do not get distracted by any other circumstances.

Regardless, of what the circumstances may or may not be you keep focused on the end result you decided you want. You continue to reinforce this with positive powerful feelings. You reinforce what you put into motion.

Conviction, faith, and a strong belief that all this is yours is part of the process. In your own mind you should believe it is already yours even though the outside physical reality may differ currently. You do this to do to get your unconscious mind working and to keep it working to go after and make happen what it is you decided you wanted.

I have described aspects of this process in prior posts too. We will continue to revisit and you should go back and re-read.

You must believe it is yours already! You are entitled to it. You deserve it. You are entitled to fulfill your destiny. Faith comes from, it develops from continuing to repeat to yourself what you wrote down and reviewing the mental movies you created.

Through repetition the faith comes. This part of the process you just have to trust. You will only discover it as you do it. You won’t be convinced by anything before hand without doing it. Faith comes from the actions you take. You transform your life because you do think in a particular fashion and act on those thoughts.

If you doubt you muddy the waters, you cloud the picture you interrupt the flow. It is as if you get a couple steps ahead and then fall back a few steps and this goes on and on. You may eventually get to where you want to end up, if you never quit, but it does take longer this way. Focused belief will get you their quicker.

You make clear concise instructions for your unconscious and energize them with dynamic positive feelings. Hold it in your mind and do this day and night. Don’t stop until you get what you are after. You will get there. Plus, you will enjoy it all along the way.

When you think about the future you it should delight you. Right there, that is the key. If it doesn’t you may need to make another choice for now. When you think about your future you want it to draw you towards it magnetically.

I know it sounds like a lot. It isn’t and it is. At first it may seem tough. It truly isn’t but you are learning to do something you may not have done much before in your life. You are learning to deliberately manage your thoughts and feelings. You are learning to target a result and bring it into being. In order to transform your life you have to decide if you are willing to pay whatever price there is in order to make your dreams come true.

You focus on all the good and new and delightful areas of your present life. You give thanks for all things and all people no matter what. In doing these you enhance your mental, physically, spiritual, creative energy. You vibrate at a higher rate when you feel good, confident and you expect to find good things each moment. You elevate everything about yourself.

Wouldn’t you like to feel better more of the time? Wouldn’t you want to be happier and more positive most of the time? Well, you can but it comes about only because of what you think and do. Most people are dictated by the contrasts. They get happy if something good happens, or it is warm or sunny, etc. They get sad or lethargic if something bad happens, or it is dark or cold.

It is understandable that most of use do that because most of us didn’t learn anything different while growing up. It was reinforced that life happens to us instead of we creating our lives. Now is the opportunity to learn something new and get better results. It is time to take control and get what we want instead of accepting whatever comes our way willingly or reluctantly.

Life can be and is fantastic. In upcoming posts I’ll discuss what to do if you doubt, or if things don’t seem to be happening quick enough, or less than glorious thoughts and feelings intrude. Keep in mind you are learning and engaging a process and you are not an expert at it from the get go.

As with all things there is a learning curve. Be optimistic, expect the best, be confident and be gentle with yourself, and do what you are able to do that encourages small wins all along the way.

Small wins in the right direction each moment or each day get you further than a massive effort performed only once and then not repeated. Water can cut a path through enormous land mass and rock even when it begins as just a trickle. It is those thoughts, feelings and things you do bit by bit each day that make the most incredible difference in the long run. Condition yourself for more success and happiness by creating the habits that support you in getting what you want.

So move in the direction you want and remember it is a journey. Have a wonderful time along the way. Why do this, why is feeling good so important? Have you ever noticed time passes way quickly when you are having a marvelous time? When you are lost and caught up in good feelings time just shoots on by. So the better you feel on your journey the less time it will seem to take. The next thing you know may be that you got your goal! Isn’t that worth it?

Have a blast getting your goals and you will get them much faster than you could ever imagine. Do something today to enjoy it even more!” Rex Sikes

How To Use Your Brain To Get What You Want PT 6

…It begins the moment you decide! You send deliberate clear signals, messages, you communicate articulately with your unconscious mind and your unconscious gets it.

The method to get what you want IS the very SAME process people usually use to get what they DON’T want. It works in either direction. It is a process that works reliably. It never stops working.

NOW, we will use the very same process BUT instead of focusing on what we don’t want we put all of our attention on what we do want. We use the same process but DELIBERATELY NOW to create what we DO want.”

Continued from How To Use Your Brain To Get What You Want Part 5

“Do you now understand how the mechanism works to get you either wanted or unwanted results? You see, it doesn’t care what is manifested, it simply operates because of the instructions, or messages, or signals that it repeatedly gets.

Again, this is how people attract and create money problems, anger, sadness, arguments with others, etc. Problems are created or enhanced or multiplied because one focuses on what one doesn’t want during most of their thinking time.

The person focuses on what they don’t have or what they lack instead of the opposite. They perpetuate their problems when they relive negative circumstances over and over in their mind and feel bad about it.

How many times have you relived an argument with someone? It usually does nothing to make us feel better. Instead, most of us end up with looking for what we could have said or done to have trumped the other person. Usually we just feel more resentment or more anger while looking for ways to get even. It doesn’t help us get over it, let go of it and move forward feeling wonderful. That usually only comes about through forgiveness and acceptance.

Because people are spending much or most of their time in that ‘negative’ fashion it ensures they will get more of it. It is a vicious circle that needs to be broken. They look at their life and feel bad.

When they feel bad they feel worse and think nothing will help and then feel worse some more. Then they imagine the worst happening and feel even more bad. Whether the worst happens or not they spend most of their time feeling down, helpless and hopeless.

So many of us live this way much of the time. BUT there is another way to live! It may seem unfamiliar because you haven’t spent much time living that way BUT the good news is you do the very same thing you have always been doing ONLY you use better content. You focus on the positive instead. Since the mechanism is reliable you will get the results you want, no matter how long you have lived your life the other way.

For example, your television set doesn’t care whether the program aired is a great program or a lousy one. It just shows them regardless. You decide what you spend your time watching. If you spend time with bad programs whose decision is that? Choose to fill your mind with better material.

You must start the new way of thinking and stick with it to make it the same reliable habit as its thought predecessor. You must learn to spend the bulk of your time with positive thoughts and feelings because you can! Stop the negative and start the positive. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

SO you keep these positive images in your mind and you drive it home by your positive feelings. You make it a habit through repetition.

You aren’t begging to get it, because in your mind you already got it.

So you don’t ask over and over again. You have made it clear what you want.

You reinforce what you want to occur through repetition. You see it as already yours. You keep it alive with the wonderful feelings and you visit it often through out each day. When you do this repeatedly through much of the day you are building your positive muscle and forming a new positive habit.

I know you can do this! So do it repeatedly and enjoy! Have a fantastic day!’

…”The present is a result of all your thoughts in the past. Your future is what all your thoughts are up until now. You create your life experience. If you aren’t please with what you have been getting you can get better results. It is all up to you! Everything begins with the next thought you think.

You are the creator of your future and there is only one creator.”

Continued from How To Use Your Brain To Get What You Want Pt 4

“As we have been moving forward with these posts what I hope becomes obvious is that you must become clear on what it is you want. You need to define it and be specific. You attach a deadline to it and then imagine it as if you already have all of it. You imagine living that life after the deadline has arrived and you have what you wanted. (more about this in upcoming posts).

You make positive pictures in your mind and feel energized, eager and expectant as you look at them. Experience it all as vividly, wonderfully and powerfully as you are able.

Once you get absolutely clear on what you want to become, and do and have – you have initiated the process. The moment you know what you want absolutely you begin making it happen within you.

I repeat: When you precisely define what you want to create in your future and you feel excited and anticipate it happening you began making it happen. It begins the instant you get clear on what it is you want. It begins the moment you decide!

You send deliberate clear signals, messages, you communicate articulately with your unconscious mind and your unconscious gets it.

The method to get what you want IS the very SAME process people usually use to get what they DON’T want. It works in either direction. It is a process that works reliably. It never stops working.

We all are doing it all of the time. You have already been using this process all along whether you are aware of it or not. Now is the time to use it purposefully to make life grand.

Once you have decided on you definite chief purpose your unconscious receives the message because you make it a clear deliberate image AND BECAUSE you attach powerful positive feelings to it.

The strong positive feels are what ramps it into action. It now knows what you want and that you really truly want it because you spend the bulk of your time thinking and feeling powerfully about it.

You keep the positive images in your mind and you drive all of it home by your positive feelings.The better you feel the more quickly you make it all happen. You make it a habit through repetition.

Strong feelings whether positive or negative always reinforce whatever it is we are thinking about. We get back wanted or unwanted by what we spend most of our time thinking about and how we feel when we do.

This why we get more back of whatever we experience. It is why we get more of what we don’t want at times. It is also why we muddy the waters and get poor results. (more on this in the next post).

If we are sometimes positive and then sometimes negative we don’t have a clear course to our destination. We do and then undo the results over and over again instead of moving swiftly toward where we want to be and what we want to have. This is why thinking and feeling positive most of the time makes all the difference in the world.

SO you want to keep these positive images in your mind and keep feeling the very best you are able to during the day. Your pair positive image with great feelings and your unconscious understand that. You drive your visualization home by your positive feelings.

We create habits through repetition and you do want to make it a habit. So through you do this frequently throughout the day purposefully, each day until it becomes automatic for you.

This is why it is important to do something that is benefits you each day. You do not have to be obsessed about it. Be relaxed and have fun but act in your own best interests whenever you can or remember to. The results are exponential and cumulative. You ultimately will get back way more than the effort you put into it.

But you do have to begin. You do have to do something if you want your life to change. You will have stay with it until you get the results you want. Most people don’t act with volition. Most people drift along pushed in whatever direction by circumstances and other people. Your life will measurable change immediately for the better once you take charge and live with purpose!

Do it today! Stay with it today! Enjoy all that you can make happen in time!” Rex Sikes

Have a pleasant day discovering wonderful moments!

…”Spend 5 minutes, 10, 30 minutes a day deliberately using your imagination to create what you want. Close your eyes and relax and visualize.

Re-read what you wrote down at least twice a day. Read it with all the gusto and energy and enthusiasm you can muster. Be alive, feel incredible and bring this energy to all that you think and do…”

Continued from How To Use Your Brain To Get What You Want Pt 3

“It would be great if you would spend at least 30 minutes each day visualizing what you want. That is not too much to ask. Up the amount, increase it as you are able. Commit to it.

If you want that future be willing to pay the price for it. Morning or night spend some concentrated time. Whenever you can throughout the day spend a minute or more living it in your mind.

Relax and enjoy seeing yourself in your future.

When you see it and can hold it in your head you will eventually hold it in your hand. Expect it, anticipate it, believe it, know that it is already yours.

What you focus on and spend your time concentrating on is what the unconscious mind works on making happen. It organizes your behaviors around creating and attracting what it is you want.

It helps you go after what you desire and make bring it into being.

It is not magic it only seems like magic. It accesses your inner resources and talents and abilities so you will move forward.

This process, the servo mechanism works to bring about the wanted or unwanted. IT doesn’t care about the end result it only follows orders.

BUT YOU care!

So fill it with wonderful, positive, clear instructions and it will do what you order it to do. Give it the best instructions and the best life to create and it will work to make that happen. It will co-operate and follow your clear orders. What you think and how you think is important when it comes to what the servo mechanism recognizes.

The unconscious mind is a servo mechanism. It’s job is to deliver to you what you spend most of your time thinking about. If you haven’t deliberately chosen your thoughts and goals before, now IS the time. If you have let it do whatever it does while you have drifted thorugh life, NOW is the time to take charge. If you have gotten too many unwanted results NOW IS the time for you to make all of it different.

Provide concise, clear instructions aligned with powerful positive dynamic feelings and your life will begin to change! If it is going to be any different at all it will be because you step in and tell the servo mechanism what to do. I have covered what to do multiple times. So now do it. Don’t delay do it today!

The present is a result of all your thoughts in the past. Your future is what all your thoughts are up until now. You create your life experience. If you aren’t please with what you have been getting you can get better results. It is all up to you! Everything begins with the next thought you think.

You are the creator of your future and there is only one creator.” Rex Sikes

“…When you watch the movie you should feel incredible because everything you wanted you now have! It is your movie make it what you want. You are the writer, the producer, the director and the star make it what you want it to be! Spend time visualizing in this way. I will discuss more in the next post. Begin today…”

“As with all exercise and abilities we get better with practice. Do the best you are able to. You may surprise yourself with how easy it is. If it is not so easy at first, it will become easier as you continue to do this. Regardless, of how well or how poorly you do this deliberate visualization you must know and understand that you are already doing some version of it in your head most of the time.

Re-read that last sentence. You are already using the power of visualization to get the results you currently are getting. You bring about your circumstances. It all begins first within.

Your results are the end product of how you are already using your mind. Your life is the result of what you are already doing with or without awareness. You have or don’t have whatever it is in life because of how you have been and are presently using or not using your mind. There is no blame nor shame in that. You have been doing whatever you have been doing.

It brings you whatever your dominant thoughts are. If you focus on lack and not having enough and you don’t have all you want or need is it any wonder why. The problem is compounded because then when people don’t have enough they continue to worry about it and think about it.

If you want more you have to create more and that starts with your thinking process. You have to imagine and see and create what you want and stop focusing on what you don’t want. You bring about whatever you think about.

For many people they get wish washy results because they are 50/50 in their thinking. If most of your thinking is negative and your life is very much not how you want it you need to create much more positivity. You need to shift the balance over to the positive side. If you are 80% positive you are probably doing pretty well.

If you want to get better results you will have to bring some deliberate purpose to what you do and change some of what you are already doing. Then you can begin to get incredible results and my guess is that is what you would like to be getting.

Realize that you bring about what you think about.

Spend at time visualizing and creating what you want. If you have to do it in increments whenever you are able. Spend 5 minutes, 10, 30 minutes a day deliberately using your imagination to create what you want. Close your eyes and relax and visualize.

OK more next time. Enjoy this beautiful day!

“…You can develop the ability to use anyone of these senses to a much greater degree by deliberately choosing to exercise your abilities. They ALL work powerfully in us (assuming no neurological impairment) whether we exercise control or not, whether we are consciously aware or not of them. We are influenced by our internal activity. Those who succeed typically already know how to work with their inner world powerfully to get positive results…”

Continued from How To Use Your Brain To Get What You Want Pt 1

“In order to create the results you want you first have to know exactly what you want. The successful people know where they want to end up before they begin. The destination and the end results motivates and drives them to get it. In the car analogy they know where they want to go so that they can head in that direction prior to starting the car. They are not random but are targeted in their choices.

I have recommended writing it down in detail with a deadline. Be specific. When you write, whether you have been aware of it or not you are using the mental movies and images, sounds and feelings. SO write it down and make it as precise and vivid as you are able.

Referring back to the analogy, when you write down your purpose, you clarify what you want and determine where it is you want to end up. You know your destination and your arrival time or deadline. It means looking at the end result, the destination, examining it and adding to it to make it precisely what you want to create. If it doesn’t excite you it isn’t what you should be working on.

Find whatever it is you are most passionate about, what you must have, that you always wanted, and work on that instead. The destination you go after is one you absolutely feel you must be, want to go to, and enjoy most in life. If you aren’t completely sold on the destination you ‘ain’t gonna git thar!’

Picture it in your mind and see everything you want. See it in detail, make it full, vibrant, real in your mind. Make it an inner movie of how the future IS different, how it is better, how it is wonderful. See the positive future you. Look at yourself in detail and do you like what you see?

This is the YOU you have always wanted to be. SO become that person already in your mind. (If this were a fantasy and you could have it any way then imagine it – keep it real though, leave out magical flying and abilities and super powers.) Just imagine yourself as the successful, confident, loving, life affirming, kind, gentle, helpful, healthy, wealthy person you can become if you are not already.

Imagine your definite chief purpose, or your major aim in life, your major dream and your biggest goal as if you have already made it come true. Imagine your life as you want it to be. Script it. Make it as rich and full and wonderful as you are able to.

See and hear and feel that future completely. See yourself as already the person you want to be. Notice how you look and how you feel and sound as you move and interact. Watch yourself behave as that person would.

Watch yourself do everything that future you does and look at all you have all made happen. This future is the culmination of your positive thoughts and efforts. In this visualization you have made it all happen and you are enjoying the results and rewards. This is the end result of your hard work. This future is your prize!

Watch this movie! Run movies in your head of THAT future you when everything already is realized and you are enjoying it. When you watch the movie you should feel incredible because everything you wanted you now have!

It is your movie make it what you want! You are the writer, the producer, the director and the star so make it what you want it to be!

Spend time visualizing in this way. I will discuss more in the next post. Begin today.” Rex Sikes

How To Use Your Brain To Get What You Want Pt 1

“..The results they get are due to the conditioning and training they undergo. They built the skills and habits needed to play and perform successfully, optimally. The truly successful people in this world do exactly the same thing. They know how to use their mind to get what they want and that organizes all of their efforts…”

Continued from Are You Using Your Brain To Get What You Want

“We make sense of the outer world by recreating it on the inside and we do this by pictures, sounds, feelings, tastes and smells. We use our five senses within and without to. We see pictures and movies in our minds while walking and talking and driving and computing with our eyes open and engaged, or while daydreaming, and or with our eyes closed napping or sleeping.

Memories are what we see, hear and feel, and what we imagine and remember on the inside. As we move through life we collect memories. We may be deeply, profoundly touched by the power of a positive or not so positive memory. Some memories may bring about nearly the same feelings each time we recall them.

We can close our eyes and imagine our present right now where we are as we read this, we can with eyes closed recall and see what surrounds us. We can hear both what is going on outside of us, noises and we can hear our inner thoughts, noises and voice as well. We can presently feel what we feel, our emotions and sensations or our butts against the surface of some material we sit or recline on.

We can also see future events happen in our mind, imaginary and unlikely or likely scenarios that we picture, hear, feel and respond to that have not happened yet. We can see happy future events and feel good about them or we can look at unwanted anticipated events and feel anxious or fearful.

Assuming we have all these neurological five senses or faculties intact and unimpaired we are able to do these. We all seem to have lead systems. Some people see images in their mind quickly then hear and feel. Or see, feel and hear. Another person may lead with sounds then see and feel or feel and see their movies. Others may lead off with the feeling and then images and sounds or vice versa. Smells and tastes likewise trigger full associations or memories, or pictures, sounds and feelings. Typically, it all happens very quickly.

I point this out because some people may claim a difficulty with whichever sense they are attempting to work with. Some might say I don’t see my pictures very well. In that case, listen or feel first and discover what happens to bring about the full representation. Explore playfully and find out which sense seems better developed or which you are better able to manipulate or work with.

We will explore more of this in more detail in upcoming times. Still, you can develop the ability to use anyone of these senses to a much greater degree by deliberately choosing to exercise your abilities. They ALL work powerfully in us (again assuming no neurological impairment) whether we exercise control or not, whether we are consciously aware or not of them. We are influenced by our internal activity. Those who succeed typically already know how to work with their inner world powerfully to get positive results.” Rex Sikes

Are You Using Your Brain To Get What You Want?

You and I have exactly the same equipment as the wildly successful do. We have the same abilities as they do. We have the same amount of hours in a day and we all breath the same air. BUT the truly successful have accessed a cutting edge technology, a vastly superior scientific practice that puts them out front of all the rest. These successful investors, sports figures, celebrities, scientists, parents, and those who excel in every walk of life get different results from the rest of us, using the very same equipment, but using it differently and precisely. It is time the rest of us caught on and begin to capture some of that success for ourselves.

The successful people understand that it is an inner game. They know and use their minds with precision in ways the rest of us do not. Everyone has essentially the same capacity and we are all using our brains and mind power, more or less alike, but these successful people do things that the rest just do not do. Analogy time. Pretend everyone drives cars. We all drive cars and know how to but some people drive cars to great, wonderful, fun, exciting places while others don’t. Why do you suppose that is?

Let’s find out. Let’s begin to examine what we all do but that the successful people do differently. Let’s look at what puts them out ahead of the rest of us and that gets them where they are. I’ll explore this in a series of blog posts. So here we go, first point.

We all run movies in our head. Some of these images, sounds and feelings we are aware of and some operate out of consciousness. Whether we notice them or not we still make them and are influenced by them. We have a vivid and active inner life between our ears. What we do between our ears determines how much we experience life.

What we do in our minds determines whether we are proactive go getters, who create and get what we want, or whether we are more reactive and wait for things to happen to or for us. What we do inside our head determines our outlook on the world, our frame of mind, our attitudes and beliefs and whether we mostly enjoy our experience or maybe not so much. What we do determines whether we react more like habitual robots or respond with freer choice and free will. The inside determines the outside so much more than the other way around!

Some people use their minds very powerfully. These are very smart people. I don’t mean book smart people who know lots of facts and figures and have very high IQs. They may be smart in some ways but that is not the smarts I am referring to. The smarts I am speaking of are much more important! There are people who know how to use their inner world to make the outer world conform to what they imagine inside. It all begins on the inside!

They create and cause things to occur that bring them positive results. They understand how to use their minds powerfully to attract what they want. These people are not only smart and successful (however one defines success) but they are wise. They make wise choices with their abilities and their efforts to bring about more of what they enjoy. They attract and create more love, health, happiness, well-being, positive relationships, warm inviting home lives, family, friends, career success, and wealth because they understand how it all works. Thought precedes everything!

When you understand how something works you can utilize it to get good results. As we grew in our understanding of electricity we could harness its power. The same is true with the powers of our own minds. Your mind can and already does incredible things. Whether it is serving you to get what you want most of the time or not depends on how you have been using it. You and I use our minds all the time and some of the times we do so deliberately.

The more deliberately we can use our mind the better results we can guarantee. For all us to get better results, like those people who already are getting fantastic results, we need to deliberately consciously train our minds to work better for us in our own behalf. We train our mind to look for and go after great results.

People have trained their minds to get good at many things. Music and sports for example. Many get great results. Successful people in all walks of life use their their inner movie theater to visualize and get good in whatever area they are successful at. They use their mind to their advantage purposefully and deliberately. The less successful people aren’t doing the same things the successful are.

This separates the successful from the non-successful by a huge chasm. There have been many important books available for eons on how to run one’s mind and create one’s future. The point is people don’t transform by reading, they only transform by doing. It is practice that makes perfect not the fact that you know something you never apply. Application, action is the proper fruit of knowledge.

What the successful do, and have already done, the rest of us need to do. We need to train our mind, we need to instruct it in what we want to be and have and what we want it to do and then we let it do that automatically. We create positive habits through training and then we live and we create from those habits.

Consider the sports star who trains their mind and body to compete and who practices and drills everyday. This athlete trains hard so that when they play the game all of their training and conditioning becomes a reliable asset. DO you think they would have enjoyed the success they do and play as well without the effort? I think not. They rehearse so that ‘when the going gets tough the tough get going’. (Vince Lombardi).

The results they get are due to the conditioning and training they undergo. They built the skills and habits needed to play and perform successfully, optimally. The truly successful people in this world do exactly the same thing. They know how to use their mind to get what they want and that organizes all of their efforts.

We initiate and maintain the process. Yes, we still manage the process but we learned through positive habit formation to allow it to work automatically in positive ways. It is already running on automatic most of the time, but if you aren’t enjoying the good life you deserve, if your results are haphazard, unreliable, if you feel unlucky and or you aren’t getting what and where you want then you need to train it to do better for you. So let’s get to it. Let’s train our minds to run better so we go after and get what we want and deserve in life. Those who succeed typically already know how to work with their inner world powerfully to get positive results.” Rex Sikes

The Successful Flock Together! A Powerful Practice You Need To Know

It is always easier when we have some support from others as we learn and grow and develop new skills and abilities. Even though you keep your purpose and dreams to yourself and not discuss them (see previous post), it is healthy to be around other positive people who are moving ahead. If you want to be a mover and shaker hang with others who already are.

By thinking positive and feeling good most of the time you raise your energy level. You look and feel different. If we think of everything as energy you could say you vibrate at a higher frequency. This is good. You want to vibrate at the highest positive frequency possible.

Imagine that you transmit that frequency. You broadcast it everywhere. In so many ways you actually do. You look better, feel better, you reflect and radiate the positivity and strength inside you. When you do this you will naturally begin to attract people who vibrate similarly. Remember, birds of a feather flock together. Like attracts like. What you cause you get back in effect. People will be drawn toward your positive energy. Success attracts success.

This is wonderful because together we can accomplish much more than alone. We can support and encourage each other. Just being around positive people is so much more enjoyable. Those who are successful know this. Wealth attracts wealth, success attracts success. Celebrities hang around and marry other celebrities. People like people who are like themselves.

The powerful mingle and associate together, as do the rich and celebrities. Actually the poor hangout together too. Like attracts like. Birds of a feather… remember. If you want to succeed and enjoy more health and wealth and all good things, raise your vibratory level and begin to hang out with others who are of like positive energy, like positive mind and like positive pursuits. You are known by the company you keep and by your fruits. Those who surround you and gravitate to you can help you get where you want to go. Your thoughts and actions will determine whether you actually get there. Keep your energy high, positive, friendly and helpful to all!

SO what to do about the less than positive people. The negative people those who may rain on your parade. As people begin to practice positive thinking and transform their life some tend to shun them, they fear that their negativity may contaminate their positivity. I understand their concerns but I think it is silly and not a healthy way to think.

I actually refer you back to the principle: ‘whatever you think about you get’. Let me ask you this: If you fear the negative or being around negative people what might do you think you are actually creating or attracting to yourself? If you attract and become what you think about then you should understand that if you fear or worry about, or are even concerned with negativity then that is what you are creating and attracting. You need to be bigger than any negativity and you can be!

I think one should endeavor to be such a beacon that nothing can keep your light from shining bright.

You may wish to limit contact while developing your positivity muscle but I don’t think you have to. You want to begin to think the thoughts that you are a positive, powerful, magnetic attractor and creator and you move through the world powerfully. You can handle anything!

Don’t run if you aren’t being chased and don’t give power where it doesn’t need to be given. Don’t put energy into the negative, don’t resist it because what you resist persists. Instead, seek mostly the company of positive people and keep your focus on feeling wonderful. Stop and do not focus on someone being able to spoil your party. Be stronger than that. Live larger. Get more grand! Stay positive and be the light that darkness flees from. The light doesn’t have to do anything but shine.

After all, that is what we are aiming towards. We want to create more positivity and not be set off track by a little negativity in another person or from circumstances. In fact, it is best to be grateful and appreciate the person and the circumstances when they are less than glorious for providing you the opportunity to steer back to center, to stay rooted in your positivity come what may.

If you are tossed about on the sea on the way to your destination so be it. You have to make it through the rough water and the calm. Challenges provided much opportunity to learn how to overcome them and to hone our skills and to keep going no matter what. You don’t want rain to spoil your day. Learn to enjoy it and it takes all the sting out.

Focus on what you want. Focus on what you want. Focus on what you want. NOT on what you don’t want, or fear, or don’t like or don’t enjoy. Focus on what you want. Focus on what you want! Create what you want. Attract what you want. That is the whole point. Keep your mind on what you want! Become what you think about!

You are learning to manage your thoughts and emotions. You are learning to direct your mind. Everything becomes a glorious opportunity when you allow it and accept it as such. When you fight it and resist it you, at least temporarily, get off course. Getting off course is part of learning how to navigate back onto course. So remember ALL IS GOOD.

Yes surround yourself with quality positive people. Enjoy them. Focus on what you want and you become what you focus on most of the time. KEEP THIS IN MIND and let nothing distract you. When it does, accept that it did and steer back to center joyfully. Be happy you realized you needed to get back to center.

Through all of this each moment is an opportunity, a gift, to help you along the way. By successfully repeating positive practices, through repetition, you grow your positivity muscle. You make positive habits. In order to grow a muscle resistance is required. Allow it don’t resist it. Your muscle will grow much faster when your do those things and nurture it along. Being healthy comes from having healthy habits. This is true of both mind and body.

Celebrate and appreciate everything and you transform your being and your life in absolutely incredible ways! All is good. Surprises and delight abound even when you are not yet able to see them. Expect good things to come even when there seems to be no reason to think so.

Create and attract what you want to be, do and have. Stay focused and enjoy. More and more good things will come your way all along the way. You will find that as you become a more positive, powerful, radiant person you will attract more positive people and opportunities to yourself. Like does attract like! You put it all into motion by becoming the very person others want to be around. Be positive! The journey can indeed be marvelous!” Rex Sikes

Savor the seconds, make marvelous the minutes, delight in the day!
