Mindset Secrets

Attract Prosperity and Abundance through Intuition

Can your intuition lead you to business success?

For the past 7 years, I’ve been exercising my intuition muscle and about 95% of what I do is now based on my intuition. I give my head that symbolic “V8 Juice Slap” on the forehead and say why didn’t I do this sooner? My life became incredibly awesome and keeps getting better since honoring my intuition.

Intuition is a tool that all of us have and is one of your greatest assets. This gift from the Universe enables you to see and feel things beyond the ordinary.

We all have that little voice that tries to tell us things from time to time.

As we get older, we often learn to ignore that little voice. We turn to logic and focus on being practical while dismissing decisions given by the heart.

But we’ve experienced a lot over the years, and there is some part of our brain (the subconscious) that has accumulated a tremendous amount of wisdom. Intuition is powerful and connected to your inner wisdom and insight. Listening to that little voice can be a good thing.

When you trust it, your intuition can steer you down a positive path to make wise decisions that can lead to great abundance.

Here are the 5 techniques that I use to connect and develop my intuition.

5 Easy Actions That Develop Your Intuition:

Meditate for a few minutes each day. One characteristic of intuition is that it has a soft voice most of the time. It can be challenging to notice it if our minds are busy with other things. Meditation is a great way to clear the mind and make room for our intuition to come shining through.

A simple technique to clear your mind is to simply count your breaths and attempt to stay focused on your breathing. Avoid letting your mind wander.

Record your dreams. Our dreams can be full of useful information. Many psychologists believe that we work out our challenges in our sleep. It’s difficult for most of us to remember our dreams. Studies show that we average 5 dreams per night, and most of us are lucky to even remember one.

After you get in bed, tell yourself that you want to remember your dreams in the morning. Keep thinking this to yourself until you fall asleep.
Keep a notebook and pen near your bed. A voice recorder can work well, too. As soon as you wake up, start writing. Dreams tend to fade from memory quickly.
Review your dreams and see if there might be any information you can use in your life.

Follow your intuition. The surest way to shut down your intuition is to never follow it. Start using it in situations that have minor importance. It could be as simple as taking a walk and asking yourself which way you should turn at each intersection or fork in the road.

Show your intuition that you’re listening and responding. You’ll be more likely to hear from it in the future.

1. Relax your mind. Many people find that their best ideas come while their mind is relaxed. Some examples include, while taking a shower or soak in the tub, walking, driving down the highway, mowing the grass, taking a shower, and/or listening to the rain. Think about the times you’ve had great ideas. Try to put yourself in similar situations more frequently.

Keep a journal. Take a few minutes each day to write in a journal. Sometimes, putting things down on paper opens a floodgate of ideas and inspiration. Study what you’ve written. You’re likely to find insights you haven’t considered.

Keep your journals in a safe place, so you’ll feel more comfortable with being honest and thorough.

Being in touch with your intuition can help you identify and solve the challenges in your life that are causing stress. It also releases your imagination and creativity. Your intuition is a great resource, but it’s important to nurture it. Start with smaller things. When your intuition has proven it’s reliable, use it to make bigger decisions.

Your intuition is a tether to your subconscious. It’s your ultimate source of wisdom and creative energy. Make your life easier and richer by utilizing all of your resources.

Use Your Imagination To Attract Money

by Ann Rusnak 5 Comments

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world.” Albert Einstein

The power of imagination is one of the greatest forces in the universe.

The ability to form mental images comes form imagination. Imagination helps provide meaning to your experiences and understanding to knowledge. People make sense of the world through imagination.

Dr. Robert Anthony says “The most dynamic aspect of imagination is the act of forming mental images of what does not yet exist in the physical world.”

Go back and read that sentence again… put it on an index card, post note… any where you can see and read it.

You might want to read the affect your subconscious mind plays in creating your current reality.

You’ll notice I mention “The subconscious mind does not differentiate between visualizations and real situations.”

Your subconscious mind cannot… I repeat… cannot distinguish the difference between an actual experience and what is vividly imagine. This is where your emotions and creativity reside.

See Yourself With Money

Start picturing yourself with the money you desire. See yourself with the things money will buy for you. What do you really want? Visualize yourself having, doing, and being the things you want.

It’s important put yourself into the picture. See the details – colors, places, smells and people. The more vivid the better.

If you change the picture, the change in your behavior and performance follows automatically. You’ll act and behave like what you visualized in your imagination. Once it takes hold in your subconscious, you won’t need to affirm or visualize it any more.

The Visualization Formula

Affirmations + Imagery + Emotion = Success

Verbalizing – Affirmations: Words can build or destroy your life. Watch your thoughts. What you say to yourself determines practically everything you do.

Visualization – Imagery: Your subconscious responds to the pictures and images you hold on your mental screen. You have the power to mentally create a new life for yourself

Emotion – Feeling: No creative act can perform without emotion. Your subconscious responds to your feelings and emotions more than anything else.

Imprinting Your New Money Vision

Imprinting happens when your subconscious mind accepts your new visual image of your desired end result.

Step One – Your Goal

Your subconscious only understands specific commands. Since you’re going through the money mind set challenge, I guess you want more money in your life. (secretly who doesn’t)

Get specific on the amount. Personally, for me, the amount usually isn’t the goal. I usually pick something I want to use the money for. Ask your money honey what you should ask for… let your money honey guide.

Step Two – Affirming the End Result of Your Goal

Write out a simple statement to the end result you want. Write it out in a personal, positive, present tense form as though it were already reality. Writing out your affirmation triggers your brain’s reticular activating system. Read this article for more information on the reticular activating system.

Step Three – Picture the End Result

See yourself in your mind activity involved in the achievement of your end result. The more detail the better. You’re displaying your old picture with a new one.

Step Four – Feel the Emotion That Goes With Your Accomplishment

Your subconscious responds to feelings more than words. Think of feelings and emotions like super food feeding your subconscious.

The more feeling and emotion… the faster the end result will materialize. Feel the joy and satisfaction of the accomplishment. You can even add the words, happy, joyful etc. to your written affirmation.

Step Five – Willing to Accept

You will never allow yourself to possess more money than you think you deserve. Make sure you willing accept what you ask for. Start accepting the fact you deserve wealth.

Don’t fall into the “HOW” mindset. This will stop the process. Following this process takes a lot of trust and faith. God takes care of the how. Learn to trust your intuition… your inner voice….

You can substitute Universe, Higher Power etc. for God

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 Leave a Comment

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.

Believing in the Power of Your Subconscious Mind

by Ann Rusnak Leave a Comment

Your subconscious mind is the boss of you, whether you like it or not. Even when you make a conscious decision to go after something you want, it’s your subconscious that determines whether you’ll take consistent action to get it! Your subconscious will sabotage your efforts and keep you stuck in attempting to make progress.

Once you understand how your subconscious works, you can be in touch with yourself on a deep level. Your subconscious holds the keys to living an abundant, fulfilling life, and all you’ll need to do is unlock that door.

Understanding What is the Subconscious Mind.

Your mind is like an iceberg. The conscious mind resembles the part of the iceberg that you can see above the surface. But the bulk of the mind – the subconscious – is below the surface where you can’t see.

There are certain thoughts and processes that go on inside your mind that you may not be aware of on a conscious level, such as beliefs, instincts, and memories. Everything you’ve ever seen or heard is sitting somewhere in your subconscious, affecting your current thoughts, decisions, and actions.

Communicating with the subconscious mind is a popular topic in the realms of self-help and psychoanalysis. This is because getting to the core of your beliefs by tapping into the subconscious is the fastest way to implement desired changes in your life.

The Power of Beliefs

Your subconscious mind contains a vast amount of information. It’s more than your conscious mind could ever handle. Sometimes you might just experience a “feeling” about something and then find out the “feeling” was right on target. In many cases, your subconscious mind sent you those signals.

How often do you hear this saying, “If you believe it, you can do it.?” This truism is a fact because of the great power of your subconscious. A belief can light a fire under you and enable you to do things you never consciously thought were possible.

Believing in the power of the subconscious mind can allow you to better communicate with it.

Believing in the power of the subconscious mind can allow you to better communicate with it.

It would be in your best interest to learn how to communicate with yourself.

Beyond Belief

Believing in the power of your subconscious is the first step to living the life you desire. When you do, you can move forward with your plans with little resistance.

Surely you have talents you’d like to further develop, positive qualities you’d like to strengthen, and challenges you’d like to overcome. You can do all these things by tapping into your subconscious.

You can even use your communications with the subconscious mind to correct larger issues, like fears, or eliminate negative habits, like smoking or emotional eating. When you get to the core of an issue in your subconscious, you can change it. The possibilities are endless!

How Do You Communicate with Your Subconscious Mind?

You can effectively communicate with your subconscious mind and enable the changes you desire using several techniques.

One popular method is the use of hypnosis. You can either employ the services of a counselor trained in hypnosis or use self-hypnosis techniques. You can even find CDs and videos that will guide you completely through a hypnosis session.

Under hypnosis, rather than being asleep, you’re in a state of heightened awareness. Many of the inhibitions of your conscious mind will subside while the subconscious comes to the forefront. When you’re in this state, you’re open to suggestions. If you give yourself positive suggestions, you’ll make positive progress.

You can also communicate with the subconscious by consistently reading, listening to recordings of positive mantras, and repeating affirmations. Not only can you use these positive statements to affirm and bring out the best in you, but you can also replace negative thinking and doubt with positive images and beliefs. Check out our plethora of affirmations.

Just remain aware of your innermost thoughts and you’ll be better able to keep in touch with your subconscious. Always be truthful with yourself, follow your heart, and most important of all, have a firm belief in yourself!

A Sure-Fire Way of Gaining Freedom from Limiting Beliefs

by Ann Rusnak Leave a Comment

July 4th celebrates the day the United States of America declared its independence from Great Britain.

The thirteen colonies pretty much had it with King George’s levying a series of unfair taxes, hiring German mercenaries against them, along with other oppressive rulings.

On July 4, 1776, they wrote a document declaring their God given rights and listed list the charges against King George III, to demonstrate how he violated the colonies rights and was no longer fit to rule them.

In what would be perceived as an act of treason, they signed their names to the document that became known as the Declaration of Independence.

You can think of your limiting beliefs as a tyrannical king in your life. Violating your rights to enjoy a vital fulfilling life God intended for you.

Your limiting beliefs hold back and suppress your true potential. You’re not alone, we all possess some limiting beliefs about ourselves.

You have the capacity to be extraordinary, to live your passion, to realize your full potential.

What determines the life you experience is how you see, feel and think about yourself.

You are made in the image of the creator of the universe (I like to use God… use whatever make you feel comfortable.) You were placed on the world to play BIG.

You have God-given abilities to achieve what you desire and imagine.

What holds you back are limiting beliefs running through your minds.

You have God-given abilities to achieve what you desire and imagine. What holds you back are limiting beliefs running through your minds.

Here is a fun way to turn those limiting beliefs around

Create your own Declaration of Independence or Declaration of Empowerment from limiting beliefs.

When you do you can start your own personal revolution for the life you truly desire and deserve.

Putting Your Empowerment Declaration Together

Grab a piece of paper and write down 3 or 4 limiting beliefs keeping you from achieving your desired results.

Maybe you see yourself as worthless or not deserving your dreams, you may want to include something like this in your Declaration of Empowerment:

I (your name) choose to see my worth. I am worthy of seeing myself as a wonderful person, a great person who experiences life to the fullest. I see my self-worth in my work. I express this in the way I carry myself, in my posture, my tone and the way I talk and write.

Your Declaration of Empowerment is a statement you decide to believe about yourself and your life.

Here’s another example

I, (your name), feel great and energized. I feel alive bursting with confidence and excitement. I feel great joy and at peace with myself. I’m so happy and grateful for all I have.

I am the center of my universe! I have the power to create whatever I wish. My own God-given success in the form of rich ideas and rich results now appears.”

Your Empowering declaration is for your eyes only!

Read it in the morning when you wake up and right before you go to bed.

I also found writing out my declaration once a day for 30 days made the new beliefs shift faster in my mind.

This month in the spirit of liberty, rewrite your history and declare your independence against the tyranny of limiting and false beliefs.

Break Through Your Limits and Attain Greater Success

by Ann Rusnak 2 Comments

Along any personal-development journey, it eventually becomes obvious the biggest enemy in your way is yourself.

Your limiting beliefs, self-defeating habits, and negative thoughts will create barriers between here and where you want to go.

We often ask too little of ourselves and doubt our ability to succeed in the future based on our previous struggles.

These techniques will help you break through your limits:

1. Decide what you will no longer tolerate. You put up with a lot from yourself. The late-night snacking, procrastination, and making excuses for not taking important action may be common scenarios in your life. Breaking the promises you made to yourself. When you accept poor behavior from yourself, you’ll get poor results.

Make a list of all the things you will no longer do or accept. If you want to rise to a new level in any endeavor, it’s important to eliminate attitudes and behaviors that get in the way.

2. Define your goals. Make your goals bigger and better and stick with them. Think about the worst parts of your life and start there. It’s the lowest-rated parts of your life that create your limits and stifle your happiness.

Raise your standards. Most people set goals that are too small. Set bigger goals and then figure out how to attain them quicker. With a good enough plan and hard work, you can accomplish a lot quickly.

3. Define the five most important behaviors for your future. What are five things you can do each day that will transform your life? Look to your goals for guidance. A few examples:

Cold call or email at least 10 potential clients each day.
Eat less than 2500 calories.
Perform 50 pushups.
Talk to one new person that could either be a potential friend or lover.
Spend at least 30 minutes practicing the piano
The things you do each day matter. If you look at your average current day, it’s easy to see why your life is exactly as it is. What can you do each day that will guarantee that next year will be amazing?

The things you do each day matter. If you look at your average current day, it’s easy to see why your life is exactly as it is.

4. Find a quality mentor. A good mentor is one of the best ways to rise above yourself.

Your ego will hide many of your weak spots from you. Your mentor will spot them for you.
We often dismiss our greatest gifts. A mentor will see them and encourage you to embrace them
A mentor will be able to see the truth.

5. Evaluate each day in writing. At the end of the day, make a list of the things you did right and those things you did wrong. Promise yourself to do fewer of the wrong things and more of the good things going forward.

6. Learn. Determine the three things you need to learn this year to have a great year. Where are you lacking? What skills do you want to develop or strengthen? You should always be learning something, but ensure you’re learning what will matter the most.

7. Enhance your ability to focus. If you can’t focus, you can’t accomplish much of anything. Try using a timer, learn to meditate, make lists, or try another method. The ability to focus comes with practice.

We’d like to think there’s a secret to succeeding – a quick trick and suddenly make our dreams come true. But nothing replaces digging in and getting to work on yourself.

Raise your expectations and personal standards. Evaluate yourself daily and find a mentor for help. You are your greatest enemy. Break through your self-imposed limits and success will be yours!
