Wanna Reach Resolutions? Train Your Mind

The end of the year 2020 has given us a lot to reflect on. It gave us a lot to look back at from everything that happened in one of the most historic years. Based on these experiences and self-reflection, we have been able to plan our new year resolutions to equip ourselves better. On the other hand, a lot of us slack as soon as the excitement for the new year wears off. How can we stick to our goals and reach resolutions?

It takes more than just wishful thinking to achieve your goals and dreams. It is recommended to turn these wishes into S.M.A.R.T Goals, which is an acronym for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Reliable, and Timely. This is a method to make your dreams a reality by putting it all on paper to make it as real to you as possible. By having a concise plan in a specific time-frame, you train your mind to work towards that goal to get that sense of achievement. Furthermore, you determine the necessary action you need to take to get things in motion. Things don’t always fall onto our lap, we work our way up to our dreams through knowledge and action. Unfortunately, there are factors that get in the way of your plan, and one of the biggest factors is FEAR. Fear is the real enemy that keeps you stuck until you can look into its eyes, and be able to tell it “NO!”

“Our brain is not designed to create happiness, as much as we wish it were so. Our brain evolved to promote survival. It saves the happy chemicals (dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin) for opportunities to meet a survival need, and only releases them in short spurts which are quickly metabolized. This motivates us to keep taking steps that stimulate our happy chemicals.” – Loretta Breuning

Overcoming fear and negative thoughts takes a lot of mental discipline and challenging yourself. The reason why fear gets in the way and paralyses us from taking action is that our brain goes into flight or fight mode in unfamiliar situations, so it shuts down. The first step to overcoming fear is noticing the thoughts when they come up, following that, you can switch them to more productive thoughts that are in alignment with your goals. Most importantly, in order to train your mind for regular positive thinking, you have to practice that regularly. For instance, instead of dwelling on fears, doubts, pain, and insecurities at night, use this time wisely to reflect on the three positive things that happened that day and dwell on these feelings. Immerse yourself in these vibes, by surrounding yourself with optimistic people and consuming more positive content. You can always take part in volunteering roles that serve the community or even take part in short-term projects.

There are many ways to change your habitual thinking from long-term success in different aspects of your life. Our mental health and physical health go hand-in-hand, so it is crucial to nourish both. Our subconscious can be reprogrammed through mirror work, neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), and daily positive affirmations. Affirmations are statements that are thought and/or spoken out loud which are always absorbed by your subconscious mind. Just like we feed our bodies food that keeps us healthy and alive, affirmations work the same for our minds. We feed our minds statements that enhance our self-esteem and confidence in our goals.

What are your resolutions this year? How do you plan to achieve them?

Coping with Depression

Depression is one of the most common mental illnesses, especially this year with the pandemic. It has been quite a struggle and no one knows what is happening next or how much longer this will last. The unknown future is creating a lot of anxiety, tension and angst which are all interlinked with depression. We are told to just stay positive, pray and hope for the best until it passes, which is true to an extent. However, crossing our fingers is NOT a coping mechanism, it’s a mindset shift that helps us hold on to the fact that a brighter future is coming. If you are battling depression and you cannot currently afford therapy, then this is for you. There are various approaches to coping with depression holistically.

Here are a few approaches that you can try and continue to do what resonates the most.

Social & Mental Approach

This is the social and mental aspect which we have some control over. Our feelings are products of our thoughts, so the first step here to take is to identify any irrational thoughts. Make sure to catch every thought, and ask yourself “does this really align me with where I want to be?” If the answer is no, ask yourself what is a more productive perspective to look at this. By monitoring your thoughts, you have a handle on a huge part of your healing. Your emotions are always valid, so allow yourself to open up, which takes us to the next point. Reach out to someone you trust and know that you can be yourself with, it could be a colleague, a neighbor, an acquaintance, a friend or family member. There is nothing wrong with asking for support and leaning on someone. Even though our happiness is our responsibility, we are still allowed to let someone hold our hands through this journey. Most importantly, set boundaries for yourself. If it feels too overwhelming to be around too many people, then limit the number of people you hangout with and choose the ones you are willing to let in.

The Personal Approach

This is where you stay in touch with your emotions and become your own best friend. Start your day with the Ho’oponopono prayer, which is a Hawaian Prayer for self-compassion and forgiveness. Give yourself the forgiveness, love and kindness you are seeking from the world by repeating this mantra “I love you. I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you.” You can place a hand on your heart and close your eyes as you repeat this. Daily mindfulness and meditation really helps ground you and centres you, so make it a habit to meditate 2-3 times a day if you’re dealing with such painful and hopeless emotions. The next thing you want to do is set daily goals to work towards, things to look forward to that are actually healthy for your mind, body and soul. You can make an hour or two out of your day working on a hobby, some time for self-care and reading a book. These are all things that give you a reason to wake up and it reconnects you with yourself. Create a new routine for yourself to implement all of these, and watch yourself blossom and glow!

Overall Health

Physical health and mental health go hand in hand. Our emotional well-being can impact our intake of food, our energy levels and the number of hours we sleep. Physical health conditions, such as hormone imbalance can make us easily agitated and stressed. Therefore, it is important to nurture our bodies the right way. Nutrition, sleep and exercise can drastically change our lives. Start by consuming nourishing foods that are rich in antioxidants, minerals and vitamins, and start cutting down on alcohol, sugar and carbohydrates. Our bodies need all nutrients in specific amounts and that depends on your BMI, BMR, gender, age and many more. Speak to a nutritionist if you can to create a new plan or look into the tips that are given here. Add to your diet some serotonin boosting foods such as nuts, seeds, leafy greens, bananas, tofu, lentils and beans. If you’re a meat-eater, eggs, salmon and turkey are great serotonin boosting foods. Next, create an exercise plan that you would enjoy (going for a walk, swimming, yoga, cardio, etc…), as physical exercise can reduce depression by 26%. Lastly, you have to get at least 8 hours of sleep every night. The best way to do this is by specifying a specific time to head to bed and wake up. Therefore, you start to train your brain to be ready for sleep at a specific hour.

Let us know which of these of these tips have been helpful. Have a great day because you absolutely deserve it.

Holiday Vibes: How to Ground Your Energy During The Holidays

“ROCK BOTTOM BECAME THE SOLID FOUNDATION IN WHICH I REBUILT MY LIFE.” – J.K. ROWLING

The holiday season is a blessing to many, and a curse to others. It is the time of the year that we all look forward to spending it with our loved ones that we miss. This year has had its ups and a lot of its downs, so this time of the year is difficult for many knowing they cannot celebrate it with specific people while coping with the pandemic. On the contrary, as advanced manifestors we are aware that energy flows where attention goes. The more we focus on something the more it replicates. Our subconscious mind doesn’t judge positive from negative, it just records everything we speak, think and feel. How can we protect our energies this time of the year without neglecting our feelings?

It is absolutely crucial to protect your energy. While there are circumstances and people that seem unavoidable, there is always a level of control that we possess. We can always decide how we respond to things in our lives in a healthy manner no matter how dire things seem. Start your day by meditating for at least 15 minutes to ground yourself and get your mindset ready for the rest of the day. Meditating allows you to bring yourself back to the present when your mind is drifting to different places, people, concerns and worries. While it might not solve your issues or heal your broken heart, it increases your vibration. Next, create a relaxing environment which helps to elevate your energy levels. Place candles, use a scent and declutter your house. Decluttering radiates a sense of inner peace and comfort. This all helps to reduce stress levels and keeps you in a more relaxed mindframe. Throughout the day, tunnel vision on you and on any triggers that pop up so you can immediately tackle them before they duplicate. Mental diet is a lifestyle not a quick fix, so stay on top of your thoughts and feelings.

Plan your day to get a clear navigation and a sense of direction on where you’re going. If you’re missing someone during this holiday, then ask a trusted person for support to spend the day with you, to look after you and to also occupy your day. As you do that, set boundaries with others to have some time for self-reflection and to spend less time with negative people in your household. If you’re spending the holidays with family members that bring you down, set a limit on the amount of time you’re spending with them. Speaking of negativity, free up some time of your day to release the negative energy through exercise and journaling. It allows you to process your emotions and detox your body. Your physical and mental health go hand in hand, so make sure you nurture yourself in mind, body and spirit. Lastly, self-talk is the core of your mindset. The way you feel about yourself is a reflection of your inner conversations that you have with and about yourself. Make sure you start treating yourself the way you would treat a friend. Shower yourself with so much love, compassion and patience. You absolutely deserve it!

How to Manifest Happiness

To manifest happiness, you have to change your focus and at the same time, make sure you’re not neglecting your feelings. Acknowledge how you feel and ask yourself how you would advise a kid to express their feelings in a healthy manner.

Follow these steps and make some shifts in your life!

Write in your journal…

Set a 15-minute alarm to journal just to get things out of your system.

Set an intention before you begin journaling to purge these feelings while staying on top of your mental diet.

After these 15-minutes are up, let go of the past and stay focused.

Practice Gratitude…

You stay focused by practicing gratitude and resilience for the rest of the day. Take into account the things you are grateful for, whether it’s a walk in the park or for having a cup of coffee.

Listen to your inner thoughts…

Throughout the rest of the day you have to listen to your thoughts and monitor your emotions. It seems easier to give in when it gets tough, but the results are always unfavorable down the line. Make sure you refocus and keep your day full as much as you can to change your state.

Do this daily. It takes at least 21 days (although we like to say 28) to form a habit.

Manifest While You Sleep

Can You Manifest While You Sleep?

According to science, 92% of our lives are created by the subconscious. Our manifestations are a result of our deep rooted beliefs. When we focus on fixing the outside world we are using only 8% of the brain capacity in our conscious mind. What this means in that, instead of focusing on outer evidence, the changes need to happen inside of you. This is the reason why a lot of us struggle to achieve our desired outcomes!

We are too focused on consciously trying to control what happens in our lives! While things like goals and action steps help you stay focused, your subconscious mind also needs reprogramming to empower your life!

Our actions, behaviors and thoughts are based on our subconscious beliefs. This is because the neurons communicate with each other to create a behavior, this is known as brain waves. Brain waves change depending on our emotions and the actions we’re taking throughout the day.

There are 5 different brain waves…

Beta (14-40 Hz): Engaged enough to take part in cognitive tasks
Alpha (7.5-14Hz): Meditative, relaxed state
Theta (3-7.5 Hz): Meditating or sleeping
Gamma (>40 Hz): High capacity of elevated consciousness
Delta (0.5-3 Hz): Deep sleep

Our conscious mind is active during our waking lives, while our subconscious is always alert. Our subconscious mind records everything that happens throughout the day and during our sleep. Scientists have proved to us using EEG that our brain is most receptive during our sleep because that’s when the conscious mind is asleep. Therefore, you are NOT blocking your affirmations on a conscious level. The frequency of the meditation makes your mind even more attuned to it. Our minds are so powerful that it allows us to induce a self-hypnosis as we fall asleep. That’s all it needs to manifest.

One of the easiest ways that you can reprogram your mind during sleep for manifestation is to listen to our Miracle Manifestation Sleep Program. Try it out using our FREE Miracle Hypnosis Online trial.

How to Change Your Appearance Through Manifestation

Have you ever ran into someone that you haven’t seen in a while and thought to yourself… “Wow! They look great! I wonder what they’ve been doing?” It’s not always just about a diet or exercise. First and foremost, it’s about their mindset.

Ever had a friend who eats tons of food and never gains weight? It’s because of their self-image. They hold a strong belief that they have a super fast metabolism!

Here are some tips for changing your appearance:

Tip #1 – Be certain that it will happen by affirming it.

The Universe has unlimited power and it can literally give you anything that you desire. So don’t sell yourself short and allow yourself to trust the Universe without the fear of disappointment.

Tip #2 – Get Specific: If you want to change your eye color, be specific on the color you desire and the exact shade.

If you struggle with visualizing, search for role models. Maybe a friend with that eye color, a model or a celebrity. This also applies to changes in weight, whether you’re looking to lose or gain weight, be specific on the dress size, weight on the scale and how you fit in clothes.

Tip #3 – Practice Creative Visualization

Whether or not you’re visual, you can still practice. You can either see yourself in first person wearing an outfit or taking a selfie; or you can see yourself in third person being in that body that you desire. If you want to boost it further, visualize your loved ones telling you how dashing you look!

Tip #4 – Name it and Claim it

It’s already yours! It exists in an alternate reality, so remind yourself every single day that you already have it because you already have everything that you desire. It is YOURS! Say it out loud: This is MINE! I am/I have X,Y,Z.

Tip #5 – Gratitude Journal

If you want to change your body, start thanking it and giving it love. The more love you give your body the more you receive from it. Your legs have taken you to places, countries, cities, and many more! Your eyes gave you the ability to see the beautiful scenery, the people that you love, and the animals that you find absolutely adorable! The moment you do this, you will start to feel a weight being lifted off your shoulders and your body will thank you!

Tip #6 – Act as if

Ask yourself now, if you had the body that you desire, what thoughts would you think and how would you act? Would you think about how beautiful you look in every outfit? (Spoiler alert: You do!) Would you take more pictures of yourself? Would you feel more comfortable and confident? Go deep and as much as you can, be specific then apply these to your daily life – Act as if!

Tip #7 – Practice Shamanic Tapping

Shamanic tapping is similar to EFT using meridian points on the body. The difference is that it’s also psychological, you tap on your energy point and affirm what you desire. Do this method for 28 days, it will change your life.

Do I Deserve Love?

Human beings tend to go on a spiral when it comes to insecurities which manifest into doubts and fears. Everyone has insecurities, it is normal for human beings, however, it can be detrimental if not controlled.

There are a lot of reasons why we question whether we deserve love. As listed on Huffington Post, a lot of it stems from painful past experiences. Whoever you are, wherever you and whatever happened to you, know that there is only ONE of you and that is your power.

In your reality, there is only you. Everyone else is your mirror. They are attracted to you by your thoughts and you are the person that is in control of your reality. That’s how much power you hold!

Everyone in your reality is energy that matches your energy and that’s what they vibrate on. The moment you raise your love vibration, the people in your life respond to that energy.

Put yourself on a pedestal by operating from a state of ‘having.’ Build your self-confidence. Start allowing yourself to feel that you are worthy. Appreciate your inner and outer beauty, your strengths and qualities.

The moment you do that, you begin to attract that special someone that lives up to YOUR standards.

Tell yourself that YOU ARE magnetic and desirable. The moment you do that, you place that trust in yourself and the Universe.

If your having a hard time consciously training yourself to think this way, we have a few audios that will help:
