Do Your Thoughts Create A Groundhog Day Experience For You?

By Ann Rusnak Leave a Comment

Groundhog Day

Hard to believe the movie "Groundhog Day" will celebrate its 20th anniversary next year. I just love this movie.

The premise of the movie focuses on an arrogant, egotistical, self center weather man named Phil. He feels it’s beneath him to cover Groundhog Day for the 3rd year in a row. He puts no effort or enthusiasm in covering the story and can’t wait to get out of Punxsutawney.  A blizzard leaves him stranded and he must stay overnight. The next morning he wakes up in horror to discover it ground hog day all over again.

He keeps reliving this day over and over and over again while seeing the same people do the same thing EVERY day.

Does Your Life Feel Like You Experience Your Own Groundhog Day?

By now most New Years resolutions, promises and intentions are out the door. Life just seems to grab you and keep you in the same place. When this year ends, many of us will find ourselves pretty much in the same place with very little change.

At first our weather man Phil, played by Bill Murray, comes to realize he is going nowhere and decides to take advantage of the town people for his amusement and entertainment.  After all, he does know what they will all do.

The antics eventually become boring and drives Phil to the brink of depression. He remains stuck here and nothing seems to change no matter what he does. Every morning he wakes up to experience the same day again.

He decides suicide looks like the way to escape. However, after every attempt, he wakes up to hear the same Sonny & Cher song blaring through the clock radio alarm. (warning: do not attempt suicide, can prove fatal. All suicide attempts in the movie were done with professionals and a Hollywood script bringing him back to life)

Our weatherman finally resigns to his fate and accepts the fact he will wake up every morning to relive groundhog day. He changes his mindset and thoughts.

He decides to make the best of his situation. The day isn’t going to change. The people and what they do won’t change. He begins to change himself, the only thing that can change.  He starts with an attitude change. He changes his thoughts. He changes his belief system about this "hick" town and the people living in it.  He evolves into a better person.

(movie spoiler ahead)

Near the end of the movie, He feels happy and full of confidence while enjoying the town festivities. The town honors him, he’s made many friends, improved other people’s lives, becomes an accomplished pianist and ends up with the love of the new producer Rita.

Yes, a new day does finally dawn for him.

What About You?

Often our thoughts and belief systems keep creating the same outcome over and over again that it can feel like groundhog day. Nothing seems to change.

Tonight when you go to bed will you wake up to your own groundhog day again ?

Today, just like in the movie, groundhog Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow thus predicting six more weeks of winter. No early spring.

Why not take the next six weeks to change one habit, replace one thing in your belief system or change one thought. Make the best of your current situation knowing you possess the power to alter it’s outcome.

Let me know below what is the one thing you’ll change over the next six weeks to end your groundhog day experiences.

Inspirational Saying | Promise Yourself

By Ann Rusnak Leave a Comment

Choice gives every person the opportunity to change what they don’t want or like in their life. You can choose how you want to react to a situation. You can choice to change your attitudes and your belief systems.

Choice empowers you to live the life you really want to live. One choice can make all the difference… The poem Promise yourself is filled with life enhancing choices.

Promise Yourself was authored in 1912 by Chistian D. Larson, appearing in his bookYour Forces and How to Use Them. Many have found inspiration in this poem. In hospitals, it has been used to help patients recover from illness. In locker rooms, coaches have used it to motivate their players.

May you find it inspiring too

Promise Yourself…

Promise Yourself…

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind;

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet;

To make all your friends feel that there is something in them;

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true;

To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best;

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own;

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future;

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile;

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others;

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear; and too happy to permit the presence of trouble;

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words, but in great deeds;

To live in the faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.

Mind Power Secrets | The Law of Repetition

By Ann Rusnak Leave a Comment
Path Of Repetition

Have you heard the old saying, "a lie repeated often enough becomes the truth?" This happens because repetition is the secret to developing a powerful belief.

And the more powerful your belief, the more powerful your results will be… negative or positive.

All changes in your beliefs, especially limiting beliefs, take place upon the application of the law of repetition.

The Law Of Repetition and How Your Minds Works

How often do you tell yourself and try to convince yourself that you can accept change? Only later to find youself readily get stuck in past memories, frameworks, and schemas?

Until you make the changes at the subconscious level, those changes will not stay in place. Your deep subconscious is the very place where change happens. You’ll find a full article on the here: Power of Your Subconscious Mind

When you have a better understanding of the brain’s inner workings, the subconscious, you stand a better chance to develop a skill set or change a belief system that can enable you to make lasting changes in your brain.

Like a person finding a well worn path through a meadow, each thought, feeling, and behavior is associated with a path through your brain.

Would you choose to take the established path or would plow through the field to create a new one? Most people would choose the path already there… it’s much easier and less work. 

Your brain does the same thing. It is more likely to engage in familiar patterns rather than try new ones. The flow of energy through the brain tends to go through established paths and circuits, which is partly makes our minds appear stable and predictable.

Throughout your life, your brain will always find it easier – but not unavoidable – to go back to these earliest patterns of operating in the world.

Your experiences shape how your brain will grow. Therefore, any plan you want to follow to be happier, successful and more fulfilling, must also address the pathways in your brain in order to have lasting success.

How To Rewire Your Brain For Lasting Success

Repetition will input habits in the nerve cells in you brain, This consequently governs your thoughts and behavior. That well-worn path in the meadow happened by people repeatedly walking it.

The reason why repetition on positive thoughts is so powerful, and necessary, is that we live in a world where thoughts and images of lack and limitation are everywhere.

It requires discipline of repetition to change your deepest thoughts and beliefs about the nature of the world — and that is exactly what you must do in order to change your limiting beliefs that hold your back.

Repetition can be a powerful tool for learning and acquiring skill sets too. There is a kind of strength achieved through the power of repeating oneself. Repetition, repetition, repetition. It works. It works. It works.

Daily Repetition Can Develop A New Habit To Change Paradigms.

A paradigm is our perception of reality, our view of the world. It is our interpretation of events based on previous teaching we have received. Those teaching and experiences shape your belief system.

Paradigms controls your lives. Think of paradigms as a multitude of habits.  Those habits formed through repetition.

We can ultimately break down old paradigms holding you back through a desire to change.

One Tiny Step Repeated Result In Big Changes

The key is to change these habits of limiting beliefs one at a time to allow the flow of what you want to enter your life.

Consistency is very important in using the Law of Repetition. Changes will happen through daily increases of awareness, time and patience.

Repeating a set of effective affirmations three times each day will begin to create a new path in your brain. Just pick one belief… one habit you want for a new path.

Habits are made and broken in a span of 21 to 30 days as a rule. Repetition for that length of time can greatly increase the odds of making permanent change

Remember that your paradigms can be changed and you can do it a little bit each day through repetition.

Believe In Yourself

By Ann Rusnak Leave a Comment

 

 

Believe in Yourself

Every achiever that I have ever met says, "My life turned around when I began to believe in me." ~ Robert H. Schuller

The best bet you can ever make in your life is on yourself. When you do, you put the odds in your favor in winning the Game of Life.

You contain within yourself a unique combination of God-given talents and abilities. Believing in your talents and abilities is a key part of reaching your goals.

You can virtually achieve any goal you set for yourself when you identify and apply those talents.

For some of us, me included, believing in yourself isn’t always so easy. I spent most of my life wondering why I was even born. With that kind of doubt about myself, I didn’t see any talent.

Today is much different story. It took devoting time and work to re-pattern my subconscious to eliminate the doubt. I’m so glad I’m alive and really enjoy life.

I learned to embrace my inner ME (Magical Essence) that makes me a wonderful unique person.

You too can choose to activate your inner success mechanism.

Remember, it’s your acceptance of certain beliefs about yourself that cause you to take the actions you do. Those actions create your life.

Ask what have you accepted about yourself that’s not true!

Join The 21 Day Money Mindset Challenge

The 21 Day Money Mindset Challenge

Have you ever felt like you simply can’t work hard enough to bring in the level of money you need?

Perhaps you have a job and can’t see any other way for money to come to you except through overtime.

Maybe you have a business and spend many, many hours trying to make it more profitable, with the hope that someday you will be able to relax a bit more.

But no matter how hard you work you can’t seem to break through to the next level.

Money will have a greater influence on your life than almost any other commodity.

Financial scarcity is a problem for many. It can affect your life in profound ways.

It can leave you constantly stressed and fatigued. You experience little freedom in life your live the way you want. You may feel your options are limited in almost every situation.

I Know How You Feel

February 28, 2011 – I walk into the store to purchase a bottle of Dom Pérignon Champagne to celebrate a huge financial victory.

For years, I just keep experiencing financial blockages and obstacles no matter what I did. Until finally I broke through the negative beliefs that kept my finances in chaos.

Financial blessings keep coming into my life now. What a difference… imagine a life where the stress, worry and fear over money is now gone.

You Can Experience This Too…

What are your beliefs about money?

Your beliefs about money are the source and context of much of your experience of life. You act on these beliefs as though they are the solid truth when in fact they are just beliefs.

Once you become aware of negative or limiting beliefs holding your ability to create a more abundant future, you can begin the work of clearing them out and forming more empowering, abundant beliefs.

21 Days To Positive Money Mindset

Join me while I share the journey I took to experience this breakthrough. It takes about 21 days to form a new habit, to change a negative thought pattern.

To make sure you have an easy time seeing these email alerts, I’ll start each email with [21-MMC] in the subject line (for 21 Day Money Mindset Challenge). So you may want to set up a filter or folder in your email program to highlight when these messages come in.

Also, I’ll be sending you the updates from the email address of publications@annrusnak.com so you may need to white-list that address, add it to your contacts, etc.
