Top Six Limiting Beliefs that Repel Wealth Attraction

Do you notice when negative, self-destructive thoughts creep into your mind? If you’re like most of us, you likely even discourage yourself with negative self-talk. Beware of these negative processes! You can get overwhelmed with the negativity of your self-destructive thoughts.

Are you sending yourself these troubled messages? Each example below is followed by suggestions about how to banish the thought for good:

No one understands me. If you feel this way, then examine how it is that you have many people around you – friends, family members, and co-workers – and still you believe not one “gets” you.

Strive to ensure they know how you feel. Share your thoughts appropriately with the people involved. This action will help you gain confidence in your self-expression and quell the negative thought.

I don’t have enough time to “___________” (go after my dreams, get healthy, indulge in my beloved hobbies, or fill in your own other ideas). If the only things you have time to do are things you have to do, it sure doesn’t make life much fun.

Begin working to achieve a healthy balance in your life. Allow time each day to take part in things that make your heart sing. Fit your favorite activities into your very busy day.
Start small, if you need to, by scheduling just 15 minutes for yourself.
When you proactively take control of your schedule, you’ll be assured that you complete every activity you want to do.

I don’t deserve to have a happy life. Perhaps the choices you’ve made in the past have caused you considerable psychological pain. You’ve been beating yourself up emotionally over those decisions. However, if you’ve identified them as poor choices, you’ve learned not to repeat them.

Congratulate yourself for learning from your mistakes. You’ve gained new knowledge to use from this day forward.
Confront this type of thinking by saying, “No, this thought isn’t right. I do deserve to have a happy life. After all, I learn well from my mistakes.”

Things never seem to work out for me. This is a general statement that colors how you feel about yourself. It sends a subtle self-message: “I must not be doing anything right.”

In reality, you likely do many things well. Spend some time identifying what those things are. Also, you may be focusing too much on what doesn’t work out well and barely noticing what’s going right in your life. Take time now to write down what you do well.

If I can’t do it perfectly, then I’m not doing it at all. It’s positive that you want to do your best in all that you do. But how will you try anything new if it has to be done perfectly? Thinking this way will prevent you from ever venturing outside your comfort zone.

Try adopting a new mantra: “If at first I don’t succeed, I’ll keep trying until I do.”
Allow yourself the opportunity to make mistakes. Remind yourself that making a mistake is a real learning experience you can benefit from. Optimistically embrace your errors.

I’m afraid to do the things I really want to do. What are you specifically afraid of? The source of your fears could likely be an embarrassment, failure, or what others will think. In reality, it’s healthy to have a certain amount of fear when embarking upon something new or unknown.

The key is that, even though you feel the fear, you must do the thing you want to do anyway. Otherwise, you’ll never know what positive things could happen as a result of your following through with your hopes and dreams.

Stay Unstopulous,

P.S.
You too can realize your dreams. All you need to do is discover your true inner ME… Your Magical Essence that makes you unique. Your innerME is meant to shine, meant to sparkle and achieve great things.

Gratitude is the Bridge to Awesome Abundance

by Ann Rusnak 3 Comments

You’ll find many books on financial success sitting on my bookshelves. The majority of them contain a recurring subject matter concerning the flow of money.

Even Wallace D. Wattle’s classic “The Science of Getting Rich” devotes an entire chapter to this subject.

The Law of Gratitude – Being Thankful

Wallace D. Wattles says: “gratitude draws the mind into closer touch with the source from which ALL blessings come…

It is easy to understand that the nearer we live to the source of wealth, the more wealth we shall receive; and it is easy also to understand that the soul that is always grateful lives in closer touch with God than the one which never looks to Him in thankful acknowledgment…

The grateful mind is constantly fixed upon the best; therefore it tends to become the best; it takes the form or character of the best, and will receive the best.

Also, faith is born of gratitude. The grateful mind continually expects good things, and expectation becomes faith. The reaction of gratitude upon one’s own mind produces faith; and every outgoing wave of grateful thanksgiving increases faith. He who has no feeling of gratitude cannot long retain a living faith; and without a living faith you cannot get rich by the creative method.”

Gratitude Keeps Lack Mentality Away

But the value of gratitude does not consist solely in getting you more blessings in the future. Without gratitude you cannot long keep from dissatisfied thought regarding things as they are… Wattles

Gratitude starts with expressing thanks for everything in your life right now.

I must admit, when I started developing an attitude of gratitude, it didn’t come easy. There was much upheaval in my life and it appeared like nothing was happening according to plan.

My best friend encouraged me to give thanks during the stormy times. I thought she was nuts. Following her advice, began feel sense of hope coming upon me… something I hadn’t felt for quite some time.

I started to notice all the good in my life and stopped focusing on what I didn’t have.

The Power of Appreciation

How many times do complain about the lack of money… yet you walk past a penny, nickel or dime on the ground without picking it up?

The universe provided you with a gift that you didn’t accept or didn’t think it was “worth” enough for you to bother picking it up.

If you don’t appreciate the little gifts, why would the universe give you more?

If you don't appreciate the little gifts, why would the universe give you more?

Think how you felt when you gave something and the recipient didn’t appreciate it? Did it make you feel like you wanted to give more to this person?

Whenever you find unexpected money, no matter what the denomination, say “Thank you Money Honey!”

Always give thanks and acknowledge with gratitude for what you already have. Appreciate what you have right now, no matter how little it seems to you.

Think how you would feel and react if you receive genuine thanks and appreciation for all you did. Imagine how God with unlimited resources will react when you show appreciation.

Gratitude really does keep you connected to God, Universal Source of all things.

The Gratitude Box

To help develop this new attitude and habit, I created a Gratitude Box using a small box for organizing photos. I wrote Thank You God in big letter on the lid. I took blank sheets of paper and cut them up into note size blocks. I put the “note” size piece into the box with a pencil.

Every day for 30 days, I wrote out a thank you note to God for something I was grateful for… some days it could be several thank you notes. I even thanked God in advance for something I requested but didn’t receive yet.

WOW… talk about major changes… more and more blessings kept coming into my life. I still do the thank you notes to this day.

Take a good look at what you’ve got right now, you may find yourself happily surprised and then watch how it will begin to blossom and increase.

Do You Desire to Follow Your Heart and Trust Your Instincts?

by Ann Rusnak Leave a Comment

Do You Desire to Follow Your Heart and Trust Your Instincts?

Giving a talk last week, somebody in the audience asked what steps I took to reach the point where my life is awesome.

Good question on his part… First step was taking responsibility for my life. Not easy and very scary.

Secondly was learning to trust my instincts and follow my heart.

Do you struggle with being able to follow your heart and trusting your instincts?

I started reflecting back on circumstances where I didn’t follow my instincts. That little tiny voice in my gut. (Guiding Universal Thought™) Guess what? My instincts were right. How about you? How often are your instincts usually right?

Learning To Trusting Your Instincts

There are several good techniques that can help you better grasp the process of trusting your instincts. Some of these common solutions might work for you.

[clickToTweet tweet=”Follow your instincts. That’s where true wisdom manifests itself. – Oprah Winfrey” quote=”Follow your instincts. That’s where true wisdom manifests itself. – Oprah Winfrey”]

These strategies can help you trust your instincts:

Stick with your gut feeling. Following your heart and instincts are very similar things. It’s important to go with your initial thoughts. This is because it’s likely a thought that’s coming from within and not something you’ve had time to think endlessly about. You’d be amazed with how many times you just end up going with your initial feeling anyway.
Write down your thoughts. It might help to engage in a free writing session. Pick up a pen and just write your thoughts down as they come. Try not to put the pen down. It doesn’t matter if you start writing some things that don’t pertain to the subject. After reading your notes, you’ll probably get a better idea about your base instincts.
Keep yourself in a relaxed state. It’s always best to do your thinking while you’re relaxed. That way you know you’re not making any strained decisions. Do what you can to relax yourself, whether it’s deep breathing, a warm bath, or meditation techniques.
Avoid changing your mind unless there’s a valid reason. Occasionally, you’ll know that your initial instinct was wrong. In this case, if you have a valid reason to change your mind, you should do so. However, if you don’t have a good reason, just follow through with your initial thoughts.

Now Start Following Your Heart

Sometimes following your heart instead of your mind can seem like the “weak” thing to do. This is not the case; following your heart is following the core of your beliefs… your Magical Essence… and is usually the best thing you can do.

When you follow your heart, you’re usually happy. Happy people enjoy their lives and are usually healthier in the long run. If you want to be happy, you must learn how to follow your heart.

If you want to be happy, you must learn how to follow your heart.

You can begin following your heart by keeping these tips in mind:

Trust your subconscious thoughts. It can be tough to stay in touch with your subconscious thoughts, but they make up your initial instincts and they’re close to your heart. You know that the truth will be revealed to you if you give yourself enough time. Learn to trust yourself.
Go with what feels right. Don’t be afraid to take action towards the things that feel right. If something feels off to you, you can stop and explore the reasons why. It always starts with a feeling. Go in the direction of your positive feelings.
Avoid over thinking. Sometimes your mind can get away from you and start cycling through negative thoughts. Take deep breaths and get back into a positive mindset so that you can see your true path more clearly.

You’ll find that most of the time your instincts and heart are correct in the end. Even when they’re not, banish discouragement and keep practicing. Maintain a positive attitude and keep trying and soon your heart and instincts will be your guiding lights.

7 Rewarding Ways to Make Meditation Easier

by Ann Rusnak Leave a Comment

World-class athletes, top managers and world-class performers, when tested, all show high levels of what’s called brain integration. Their brains are wired with strong connections between the different areas, they experience heightened attention, and can think quickly when dealing with problems.

Meditation causes those changes in your brain waves that improves its functionality. It’s an alternative way to mastery instead of devoting thousands of hours to learning a skill. Just think of all the time you’ll save!

Meditation is one of the best personal development activities you can perform. It will take time and patience if you’re new. There are many things you can do to make your time spent meditating easier and more effective.

Meditation is one of the best personal development activities you can perform.

Enhance your meditation experience:

Find the proper position. You might not be able to sit in a full-lotus position for hours on end, but you don’t need to. There are two keys to proper posture for meditation:

The position must be comfortable enough to hold for the duration of your meditation. The longer you sit, the more precise your posture needs to be.
Your body must be well-supported. Slouching or sitting on a surface that is too soft will make it impossible to sit for long. Your back and neck must be straight, or they will tire.
Avoid being so comfortable and well-supported that you fall asleep. For this reason, sitting is ideal. Experiment with different positions until you find one that works for you.

Start slowly. You would think sitting still and controlling your thoughts for an hour should be easy. Your brain isn’t used to being quiet. Start with just five minutes and build from there. I found the Mindfulness Bell app an excellent tool and use it throughout the day.
Give yourself the best chance to be successful. Some situations make meditation easier to perform than others. Choose an environment conducive to meditating.

Choose the right time. It’s easier to meditate when you’re relaxed than it is to meditate when you’re stressed or pressed for time. Plan your meditation accordingly. I do mine first thing before getting out of bed in the morning. I intentionally set my alarm 10 minutes earlier, hit snooze and use those ten minutes to meditate.
Limited noise and activity make it easier to concentrate. Find a suitable location for your meditation practice.
Avoid meditating when tired. You’ll find yourself falling asleep.

Consider the use of guided meditation. It can be easier to meditate to someone else’s voice than to take the task on alone. There are plenty of free options online you can try.
Give different types of meditation a try. One is sure to appeal to you more than others. Do a little research and determine which type interests you the most. Here are a few to get you started:

Zen, Vipassana, Mindfulness, Metta, Mantra, Transcendental, Taoist, and several types of yoga meditation. Learn enough about each to find a few that you’d like to try.

Meditate with others. It’s not always easy to know if you’re meditating properly. Meditating in a group setting can provide the instruction and support that you need to advance your meditation practice. Give several groups a try before making a decision. You’ll find one group that appeals to you more than the others.
Use a timer. A common challenge is the constant checking of the time. You might want to get it over with, or you might be worried about being late for your next activity. A timer frees up your attention and permits a higher level of focus.

Meditation is a simple process. Do everything you can to make your meditation sessions as productive as possible. Be persistent and enjoy the many benefits that meditation provides.

Which of These Two Give You Better Results?

by Ann Rusnak

Hypnosis and meditation both produce impressive results when applied properly and consistently. For thousands of years, people incorporated meditation in their lives People experienced the influences of hypnosis since we began to roam the earth. However, the idea of hypnotism wasn’t proposed until far more recently.

While they may appear similar, hypnosis and meditation differ in several important ways. One isn’t a good substitute for the other, but both can be powerful tools.

Understand the differences between hypnosis and meditation:

You’re hypnotized several times each day. Each time you daydream, reflect within or go deep in thought, you’re hypnotized. You experience this while watching a movie or reading a book. Have you ever driven in the car, only to wonder where the time went after arriving at your destination? You were hypnotized.

It has been suggested that people are technically hypnotized after watching only 7 seconds of television!

Meditation attempts to empty your thoughts. In most types of meditation, the objective is to concentrate on an object, such as your breath, or white noise to create a mental state with minimal thought activity. You want to quiet your mind.
Hypnosis is dissociative. In a highly hypnotized state, the subject is unaware of his immediate surroundings. It’s akin to being in a dream that’s directed by himself or another person.

Meditation is the opposite. The goal of meditation is complete presence.

Both techniques can be useful tools for managing stress or anxiety. Both can be equally effective for dealing with mental distress:

Meditation can help by revealing the reality of self-induced. stress and anxiety
Hypnosis often uses visualization techniques to experience new ways of reacting to the same stimuli in the future.

Hypnosis could be viewed as experiencing something with your senses that’s not really there. When you close your eyes and imagine something, you’re hypnotized. When you relive a conversation in your head, you’re hypnotized. How much time do you think you spend hypnotized each day?

Hypnosis is more outcome oriented. Hypnosis often undertakes the approach to solve a challenge or to enhance performance. Hypnosis is used to get over a trauma, increase self-esteem, lose weight, or quit smoking. It’s directed at a specific outcome. Meditation isn’t normally applied in this way.
Hypnosis is aimed at the subconscious. It’s believed that hypnosis works around the conscious mind and influences the subconscious. It’s easier to address the subconscious while the conscious mind is otherwise occupied.
Hypnosis is considered an altered state. Your perception of reality is flawed because your mind is in another place.

On the other hand, meditation seeks to eliminate everything except the truth. All opinions, beliefs, and preconceptions are dropped. Nothing remains but mental stillness.

Despite these basic differences, there are many kinds of meditation, some of which could be considered similar to hypnosis.

You already spend a portion of your day in a hypnotic state. Put it to work! Take control of the trances you enter each day.

Consider adding meditation and hypnosis to your personal growth activities. Meditation and hypnosis are simple but require practice. There’s no better time than the present to get started.

Excellent Understanding of the Law of Attraction

by Ann Rusnak

Perhaps you discovered the Law of Attraction due to its popularity. The big question is: how can you incorporate its principles into your daily existence?

To do this correctly, we must first understand what the Law of Attraction means and what its guiding principles are. Thankfully, they’re quite simple and easy to comprehend.

The Law of Attraction states that negative attracts negative and positive attracts positive. The universe can understand our subconscious minds, and it delivers things according to the way we’re thinking.

The Law of Attraction can provide you with positive rewards, joy, and happiness.

Try These 3 Simple Attraction Strategies:

Always give thanks. In my book, The Journey to ME, you’ll find this quote by Stacey Robyn in the gratitude chapter, “Gratitude is the Master Key that Opens all Doors of Possibility”. Isn’t it beautiful?

For us to live the Law of Attraction on a continuous basis, we must always give gratitude. What this means is no matter what we own up to this point in time, we must profess thanks for it.

If you sincerely practice this on a continuous basis, you’ll be rewarded with many positive things.
A good way to practice gratitude is to give thanks each day upon rising and at night before going to bed. At these times of the day, our subconscious mind is most receptive.
Proclaiming gratitude keeps us humble and reminds us of all the good things in our lives.

Escape negative thoughts and feelings. More than likely your life is extremely hectic and stress filled. It’s easy to become frustrated and negative about a lot of issues and situations. According to the principles of the Law of Attraction, we must redirect these feelings immediately. Remember positive attracts positive, but we also must not forget that negative attracts negative.

Because of this, if we focus only on the negative, we’ll only attract negative things back into our existence. For example, you fearfully focus on nobody signing up for your program, instead of thinking about the excitement your clients feel doing the program. How much better their lives will become. Think about so many signed up, you needed to create a waitlist.
There are many people in this world who live a positive existence; those are the kind of people you must emulate.

Remember positive attracts positive, but we also must not forget that negative attracts negative.

Voice what you want. As per the Law of Attraction, if you request something, it will be brought to you. Do you want happy children, more money, love, and a profitable business? All this can be yours, but you need to request this through your subconscious.

For instance, if you’d like love brought into your existence, you must truly picture yourself with love in your life. Imagine how happy you are, the smiles on your faces, and enjoying things together.
Just remember that you must request this sincerely. Only true positive energy will attract back more positive things. You can’t fake it!

The Law of Attraction proves to us the power of your subconscious mind. Think of it as a tool with the potential to provide you with everything your heart desires when you use it correctly. Incorporate the principles of the Law of Attraction with an open heart, and you can experience a happy and fulfilling life.

Meditation – How to Meditate for Success

by Ann Rusnak

You can achieve great things through meditation. But what exactly are these things? The truth is that you get to create the definition. If you want to experience success, meditation can help get you there.

Meditation has been around for ages and it’s a great, relaxing activity to engage in everyday. Also, it’s available to everyone in every moment. Plus, it’s completely free!

Ultimately, there are no excuses for not being able to meditate. Some will say that they simply don’t have enough time. But are you not worth a few minutes a day? Of course you are! You should be able to allow yourself at least 15 minutes per day, just to focus on your own success.

Did you know each day comes with 96 of those 15 minutes blocks? There is really no excuse not to devote at least one of them for yourself.

How Meditation Can Help With Clarity

Meditation is an art that has many opinions associated with it and there are also many ways to meditate. A consensus remains around the fact that it’s about clearing your mind and remaining in the present moment. With regular practice you’ll gain the necessary clarity and discover truths about your life.

Meditation is a great way for you to discover something you may already know deep down. You operate on many levels and you already know how to achieve the success you desire. Problems arise when you spend too much time dealing with day-to-day activities and too little time exploring your depth.

Feel Your Emotions With Meditation

Getting in touch with your emotions is an important thing. It’s not only reserved for females, nor is it something that will make you vulnerable. It’s an important step on your way to discovering your inner success.

When you meditate and really feel your emotions on any subject, you’ll begin to tap into the truth. What is it that you’re really after? What is your true definition of success?

You’ll often hear of the actor that achieves fame but still doesn’t feel fulfilled. You may have also heard about the successful business mogul who reaches career and financial success but still feels incomplete at the end of the day. These people haven’t truly determined their own definition of success and, instead, have chased someone else’s dreams.

Meditation Can Transform Your Focus

Once you decide where you truly want your life to go, meditation can help you formulate the steps to get there. Going there may require some changes to happen in your life.

There’s always a life lesson you learn by the path you’ve chosen to travel in your life. Meditation helps you assimilate the lessons learned along the way.

Remember that each moment brings incredible transformations. You need to allow this to happen and resist the urge to fight change. This also means that your life goals may change, as well. And that’s okay! It helps to go with the flow and be willing to adapt as you go.

Use Meditation to Practice Affirmations

Affirmations are excellent statements to meditate on while you’re achieving your focus. If you remind yourself that you’ve already achieved success, you’ll get there.

Really spend some time envisioning your success. Think about what it feels like to achieve. In the same way that you would picture yourself in a safe place when you’re scared, picture yourself in a successful place when you have doubts.

Meditation allows you to access your subconscious mind. This is where you belief system resides. Combined with affirmations and visualization, meditation is a powerful way to change negative beliefs.

When you believe in the power of meditation, you believe in your true self, and then success will be yours!
