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,

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.

The Success Powers Hidden in Your Subconscious Mind

by Ann Rusnak Leave a Comment

Your subconscious mind is the maker of all the great ideas you have ever had and is also the seat of your intuition and creativeness.

If you want to learn the true art of mind power, then it is of the greatest importance that you understand the 2 functions of your mind and how they interact with each other…

You only possess one mind, but it has 2 totally different functions – and the names generally used to distinguish these 2 different functions are as follows:

1. The Conscious Mind
2. The Subconscious Mind

There are many other terms used. But the 2 listed above, are the ones used most to represent the 2 main functions of your mind.

To help us better understand the conscious and subconscious mind, they may be compared to a tree and its roots…

Your conscious mind being the tree, which helps you with daily situations like, decision-making, rational thinking, or just simply figuring out what to do and how to best do it.

When we think of “me” we think of our conscious mind, the mind of which we are fully aware. This part of the mind makes decisions for us and directs our activities; it also analyzes, criticizes and even commands us.

You’re subconscious mind being the roots; it deals mostly with the repetitions of learned behavior. This can be very helpful for you, as it enables you to deal with situations much more easily the next time they arise.

Whatever we see, hear, smell, taste, touch or feel, passes through the conscious mind and reaches the subconscious mind where it is stored.

How Information Gets Stored In Your Subconscious Mind

Once you have learned how best to deal with the situation, you find it much easier the next time around… this is because you are using information which is already stored.

For instance, once you have learned to ride a bike you don’t have to consciously think about it anymore. This is because the stored information will come to you automatically the next time you get on your bike to ride it.

Just as if you were to learn where each letter on your keyboard is – you can now type without looking because you have formed a mental picture in your subconscious mind, of what the keyboard actually looks like.

The above are only two instances (of how the subconscious mind stores up relations of learned behavior) and we are sure you would be able to find many more examples of these in your everyday life!

Information from the conscious mind gets past into the subconscious mind, and there is a very strong link between the two. It is said that everything you have ever seen, heard and experienced is perceived by your conscious mind, and then stored away into your subconscious mind as a memory.

Not only is this memory stored as the incident itself, but also any feelings which went with it at the time are also stored.

How Your Subconscious Mind Uses the Stored Information

Your subconscious mind goes beyond storing your memories and feelings. It also generates all the great ideas you have ever experienced, and is also the seat of your intuition and creativeness.

Your subconscious also keeps you going without you even being aware of it. It takes care of your bodily functions – your heartbeat and automatically runs such activities as, movement, language, visual perception and a whole host of other processes of your mind and body for you.

It also scans your mind for conflict and distress; assesses your environment for danger and threats, and relays and interprets perceptions, sensations, and feelings… last but not least it is also the storehouse of all your experience and decisions – everything which makes you the person that you are.

3 Easy Ways Positive Self Talk Helps You Conquer Your Goals

by Ann Rusnak Leave a Comment

Do you feel like you always talk yourself out of success? When you start to set goals for yourself, do you suddenly experience nagging thoughts about how you won’t live up to the task or how you simply aren’t qualified to carry it through?

If you ever experienced either situation, you need to change the way you respond to your inner dialogue. Instead of obeying your negative commands, you can use positive self-talk to counter the negativity and overcome nearly all anxious thoughts.

Setting Goals and Sticking to Them with Positive Self-Talk

Do you initially feel excitement when you first set goals for yourself? Are these thoughts then followed by self-doubt and self-defeating thoughts that stop you in your tracks before you even get started?

It can feel difficult to make the most of your life when you constantly talk yourself out of releasing your inner success. It can feel frustrating and discouraging to have these thoughts constantly plaguing you. Many of us, in fact, don’t even realize we have them! All we know is that we don’t have the confidence to stick to our plans and reach our goals.

Positive Self Talk For Encouragement!

Positive self-talk provides an effective way to set goals and ensure that you stick to them, even if you never did this before. You decide what goal is important to you, and then you plan the logistics of how to attain this goal. When self-doubt starts kicking in, you will respond with effective positive affirmations that prove your success without surrendering to the negative pressure. Since you’re reading this article, it’s clear that you’re no quitter and you’re certainly not a failure, so start believing in yourself!

Re-Programming Your Mind With Positive Self Talk

Effective affirmations are essentially positive statements that re-program your mind for the positive. The moment a self-defeating thought enters your mind, you can counter the negative with a motivating statement. An example of a positive affirmation is: “I choose to believe I am worthy of great success,” or “I decide to see myself in the winner’s circle.” What this does is replace negativity with thoughts that will help you move toward your goals instead of further away from them.

I choose to believe I am worthy of great success

Positive self-talk is easier to implement than you might think. You may not be aware of the severity of the negative dialogue currently within your mind.

However, once you conscientiously focus on using positive self-talk, you will suddenly realize the ways you self-sabotage your goals from the minute you made them.

This process can open your eyes to exactly how much this inner conversation interfered with your life. You’ll feel hopeful that you can now set goals and surpass them.

Through positive self-talk you can easily set long and short-term goals for yourself. And when you use affirmations, you’ll possess accessible tools to help you push yourself further than ever before. Learning to quiet negativity with positive thoughts is a great move toward setting and attaining future goals with ease.

We all carry around numerous limiting beliefs. They profoundly affect your life in so many ways, and none of them are good and will keep you from reaching your full potential.

Your beliefs about yourself and your life have more power over your existence than you can imagine. Personal ideas and values you’ve held for a long time can block the way toward a life you desire.

You’re probably familiar with the idea of how limiting beliefs prevent the success you desire. But, were you aware of how they also create a negative impact in other areas in your life?

5 Ways Limiting Beliefs Affect the Quality of Your Life

Limiting beliefs spoil your experience of living.

Is this the type of inheritance you want to pass down?

What beliefs do find yourself repeating to your children that your parents told you?

How to Visualize the Things You Want

by Ann Rusnak 2 Comments

How to Visualize the Things You Want

How can you visualize the goals you want to happen? Visualization can move you deeper into your own inner power. The place where you see greater clarity to create your desired life.

You’ll find visualization one of the most powerful tools for attracting what you want. Yet few people know how to properly visualize effectively. With the right technique you can begin to see outstanding results in successfully attracting what you want, if you fully apply what you learn.

Understand you visualize all the time. You may not be aware of it but you constantly conjure up images in your mind. When you speak on the telephone to someone, your mind tries to see what they tell you. You also visualize when you are deep in thought.

When you worry about paying your debt or worry if you’ll experience the life you want, visualization still occurs. Visualizing while attaching the emotions of worry, doubt, fear and anxiety, is where people go terribly wrong.

The hard part of using the creative force of visualization for a positive result happens while experiencing the opposite of what you want. Often your belief system about yourself doesn’t align with your desired money income.

Understand The Most Effective Way To Visualize.

Can you remember the last you found yourself in deep thought and what it felt like? A real deep thought where you found yourself lost inside yourself? Totally unaware of anyone or anything around you.

The visualizations you experienced in those moments probably felt very real. The real power of visualization resides in those moments.

When people ask how do I visualize the things I want, I tell them the same way you visualize the things that you don’t want. When you see yourself feeling anxious and fearful you lock yourself away in your inner mind with those images. You lose sight of other possibilities. Also if it is something that happened to you, then you recreate the incident in full details with all your emotions all over again.

Visualization Away Your Money Belief Hang Ups

Believe me, I know it’s hard to visualize happy thoughts when you can’t pay the bills. I reached a point where our money situation wouldn’t approve no matter what I did or what the income level. I hate to admit this, but I contemplated suicide again when I felt I was doomed with a life of eternal money problems.

I met somebody on Facebook who made me aware of how my relationship around money blocked my financial goals. She shared how using very powerful and emotional visualization techniques could turn around all money hang ups and non-serving beliefs.

Seeing all those money hurts, negative money messages, and limiting money beliefs visually as a monster allowed me to visualize his destruction. This technique worked immediately. Much quicker than decades of therapy, attending classes, reading books, coaching, etc. to overcome my money problem.

My relationship with money transformed and two years later, we’re one bill short of being debt-free, paid off our home… and that was just the beginning. (I share more details in my Money Story)

Visualization with emotions is the fastest way to replace negative and limiting beliefs or create them.

Emotion With Your Visualization Makes Them Effective.

Immerse yourself with full positive emotions when you visualize the things you want. Many thoughts may come to distract you, acknowledge them and just redirect your mind to what you want. Your subconscious mind can’t tell the difference between real and unreal. Eventually, it will reprogram itself to focus on your wants.

If you experience difficulty, try different tools and techniques to greatly empower your ability to visualize. Don’t be hard on yourself. It took me a while to master what works best for me.

Visualization with emotions is the fastest way to replace negative and limiting beliefs or create them. The visualization of my money monster represented all my negative messages from my parents. But first I needed to identify those messages and beliefs.

Mind Power Secrets – A Different Perspective on The Secret

by Ann Rusnak Leave a Comment

Perhaps you’re familiar with the book, The Secret. If you’ve tried the book’s recommendations, but didn’t have great results, that doesn’t mean that the book is without merit. To benefit from it, it’s important to understand what it actually provides you.

Who “The Secret” Automatically Works For:

Have you ever noticed how some people just seem to win all the time? Whether they’re vying for a promotion or competing in the weight loss challenge at work, they always seem to come out ahead. For these people, The Secret works great automatically. Why is this?

These people are very good at taking action and don’t have a lot of mental garbage in their way. Mere visualization is enough to get them charging full-steam ahead, and they can’t be stopped once they start.

How “The Secret” Works For the Rest of Us:

If you don’t fall into the “automatic” category above, you may want to take some extra steps to enable the strategies in The Secret work for you.

Imagine you decide you want to lose 50 lbs. When you think about losing that weight, you’re probably torn. On the one hand, it would be great to be so much lighter. You know you’d look better and feel better. You’re sure you’d be healthier too.

Does that sound like you? If so, you’re not alone. Most of us go through this inner conflict when contemplating making major changes.

If your goal doesn’t make you feel 100% positive, you’ll have challenges achieving it without a tremendous amount of motivation and willpower.

So your strategy should start with identifying your beliefs that are stopping you and work on replacing them with thoughts that better serve you. This will help you clarify your goal into one that is 100% in line with what you really want.

Identify your beliefs that are stopping you and work on replacing them with thoughts that better serve you.

You can use visualizing as a tool with this step, too. Keep tweaking your goal until you feel great – through and through – when you imagine it. Then you’ll be ready to take advantage of the power of The Secret.

Make The Secret Work for You

Outside of The Secret, one common exercise you may have heard of is manifesting a blue feather. You’re supposed to simply go about your day with the intention of bringing a blue feather into your life within 48 hours to a week, depending on who gives you the exercise.

This is interesting for a couple of reasons.

Have you ever purchased a car, and then noticed that car everywhere? It never fails. You go out and buy a used Jeep Cherokee, and suddenly it’s as if the whole world has bought one too. You see them parked on your street. You notice one at every stoplight.

This is your reticular activating system (RAS) at work. Each day, you’re exposed to so many stimuli that you can’t pay attention to all of it. Your RAS decides what’s important enough to bring to your attention and what can be allowed to slide by unnoticed.

This is why you suddenly see your new car everywhere – it’s not because you created a bunch of Jeep Cherokees all over the place. The feather exercise is the same idea. If you’re focused on finding a blue feather, you’re sure to notice one when one actually comes into your life.

In the same way, abundance and the path to your other goals are already here. There’s nothing magical about it. You just pay attention.

So here is what The Secret really gives you: It focuses your attention so you can spot situations that are conducive to helping you achieve your goals. The visualizing you learn in The Secret will attune your mind to moving you toward your goal – or manifesting your desires.

Then, however, your responsibility is to follow through on those opportunities. Being 100% aligned with your subconscious and goal helps you follow through with conviction.

With a little practice, you will work magic in your life. And your well-deserved dreams will be at your fingertips.

Understanding the Secrets of Your Subconscious Mind

by Ann Rusnak Leave a Comment

Let’s get going on a fascinating discussion on the Power of Your Subconscious Mind.

Watch your thoughts; they become words.
Watch your words; they become actions.
Watch your actions; they become habits.
Watch your habits; they become character.
Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
~ Unknown

Your subconscious is very sensitive to your thoughts.

That’s why watching your thoughts is critical to changing your money mindset.

Your mind works at two levels… the conscious level and a subconscious level.

Meet Your Conscious Half

Let me explain how the conscious and subconscious mind works. This knowledge of the interaction between your conscious and subconscious will enable you, to not only change your money mindset, but to transform your whole life.

You think with your conscious and it’s the rational half of your mind. You make all your decisions with your conscious mind. It’s the part of your mind that makes your choices.

The conscious mind gathers knowledge and experience through the senses. It learns from books, conversation and experience. It reasons and forms conclusions. Thoughts generate at the conscious level and finally passes its thoughts down into the subconscious mind… What you habitually think about all day long sinks down into your subconscious.

Meet Your Subconscious Half

Your subconscious level is the cradle of your emotions and creative center in your mind. It’s also where your habits take up residence.

Think of the subconscious mind as the storage room of everything that is currently not in your conscious mind; it stores all your previous life experiences your belief system, your memories, you skills, all situations you’ve been through, and all images you’ve ever seen.

Your subconscious mind runs on auto pilot and will process whatever information enters it. It’s always working. It is active night and day, whether you act upon it or not. Through ceaseless, tireless action of your subconscious mind controls all the vital functions of your body without the help of your conscious mind.

Can you imagine if you had to think about breathing, make your heart pump… thank goodness for the subconscious mind.

Your subconscious mind is far more powerful than your conscious one. When you learn how to train and use your subconscious mind, you can control your behavior, break bad habits, get rid of unwanted emotions; and fix your belief system.

How the Conscious Affects Your Subconscious

Your subconscious is subjective to your conscious mind. It takes orders your give it based on what your conscious mind believes and accepts at true.

Your subconscious mind will begin to execute an idea once it accepts the idea impressed upon it. It will not make comparisons nor does it reason or thinks things out for itself. That job belongs to the conscious mind.

It will accept what ever the conscious mind believes whether it’s true or false.

The subconscious mind learns by repetition and not by logic. It learns by the conscious mind establishing deep grooves from habitual thinking… thinking the same thoughts over and over.

The longer the subconscious mind believes something, the harder it will be to alter this belief in any way: If you have a longstanding belief, it will definitely be more difficult to alter than a recently formed one.

The longer the subconscious mind believes something, the harder it will be to alter this belief in any way.

Soothing Conflicts Between Your Conscious and Subconscious Minds

While you may want to change the way you think… your conscious mind will often reject your new thoughts because they are in conflict with your current belief system. The more ingrained the belief… the harder it will be to alter it. Your belief system resides in your subconscious.

The subconscious accepts what you really feel is true. Fortunately, the subconscious mind does not differentiate between visualizations and real situations. You can use this to your advantage and soothe things over between your two minds. Visualize your life with the new beliefs and associate genuine feelings and emotions to your new beliefs. Your subconscious more readily accepted the new thoughts because it really felt they were true.
