I remember so many times when my mum used to walk around our house ‘counting to ten’ to try and prevent herself from losing the rag as one of her beloved children (never me of course!) had smacked/broken/hidden/destroyed/punched/drawn over something – possibly one of her other children!

I always wondered, as a child, how effective it was and why counting to ten seemed so important.  “Weird grown up stuff” is more than likely the conclusions to my youthful pondering.

But as I’ve grown up and learned more about the mind and emotions I have discovered that many of the ideas that we now see as clichés, the little rituals that we dismiss as silly, make fun of or say sarcastically to our stressed out colleague when 3 days of work disappears in a random computer blip are actually true and can really work to calm us, chill us out and help us when times are tough.
Here are five of my favourites:

1. Count to 10 –  Many of our most powerful emotional responses happen instantly and therefore bypass the part of our minds that rationalises, calculates and has an awareness of other people’s emotions.  In some cases, like joy, love or even ecstasy, this is a good thing and allows us to lose ourselves in a wonderful moment free of our usual inhibitions.  In others, like anger, having some time to think – even 10 seconds – allows that rational part of our mind to try and work out the most effective response to get us our outcome before we act on impulse and say something we might regret.

2. Take a Deep Breath – When our emotional state changes our body changes with it.  When we are happy or excited we breathe deeply from the bottom of our lungs, when we are anxious or stressed our breathing becomes quicker, shallower and higher in our chests.  Just try breathing big, deep steady breaths and then try and feel anxious..it doesn’t work!!

Here’s a wee experiment.  Sit up straight and, wherever you are now, take 10 long, steady, deep breaths.  Go.  Now, where did you lose count? The lower the number the more your mind is controlling your body and the more you need to breathe.  Try again later until you can get all 10 in a row.

3. Go to a happy place – All of our feelings are based on our interpretations of reality – not reality itself.  If you don’t like flying, it’s not the plane or the pilot that’s the issue it is your thoughts about what might happen to the plane.  But we can literally ‘jam’ this ‘negative’ signal on purpose and replace it with something more positive if we choose to.

Think of somewhere that is your idea of bliss.  It might be a real place or a fantasy, somewhere you’ve been or somewhere you’re going.  Now, next time you are in a place or situation that you don’t like, ‘jam’ your mind’s negative signal by running your happy place again and again and again.  If you slip out of it, just go back and make it so good you find it easy to stay.

4. Sing a Happy Tune – Well if going to happy place can work then so can singing a happy tune.  I lost count of the number of times I would start singing one of my all time favourite songs inside my head before doing presentations or even going to interviews because it changed the way I felt so radically!

Think of the happy tune or the happy place like a jamming signal for negative thoughts.  If you can flood your mind with something else then there is no space for anything else.  This gives you time to return your breathing to normal and start feeling better.

Even better, choose a tune that is filled with some sort of positive meaning and emotion for you and you will get a big dose of all that good feeling and emotion back again.

Try it now, choose a tune that is packed with good memories – the first dance, the school disco favourite, the football chant, that tune that means so much to you – and notice how you feel.  Next time your thoughts begin to run away with you, sing goddamit!

5. Positive Mental Attitude (PMA) – If you live in the UK you might remember that advert that was on a few years ago, “you just need PMA, positive mental attitude”.  Mix that in with countless satirical comedy sketches, painful attempts at motivation from so called experts  and people who lie to themselves about how great everything is as their lives turn to dust and it’s no wonder the thought of anyone ‘thinking positive’ has become one of the biggest clichés of them all.

Why?   Well, because we are told that once you start thinking positive then you can’t stop.  But that’s now how to really make it work.  The simplest explanation of thinking positive is to start thinking about what you DO want rather than what you DON’T.  For example, imagine you have to do a presentation in front of 15 people.  For lots of people this is their idea of a nightmare.  But many people lie to themselves, thinking that they are ‘thinking positive’, by telling themselves “I’m fine, I’m OK.  I’m going to be great” when inside they feel terrified and are worried about all 15 audience members wetting themselves with laughter at everything they say because they don’t really know what they are talking about!!

Making ‘Thinking positive’ work is about asking yourself how you DO want it to happen, to accept that you feel nervous, discover what you feel nervous about and know that you have the skills and ability to deal with it.

It’s also about knowing that you can go to a happy place, sing a happy tune, take a deep breath and, if all else fails, count to 10 before you make your next move!!

My wife and I were in a large shop in Glasgow the other day and joined what appeared to be a whole city full of people looking for gifts and presents. We were ticking off our list of names and ideas making sure everyone was covered when we realised that, for the first year since we became a couple over 10 years ago, one name was now missing from our list.

This festive time of year brings many aspects of our life into sharp focus, doesn’t it; the quality of our family relationships, our financial position, the depth of our network of friends, our health & wellbeing and many other things that, as we near the turning of the year, we spend time thinking about.

It’s also at this time of year that we are reminded of those that will not be with us (physically anyway!) around our festive dinner tables. I know that many people reading this have loved ones, parents, friends, children, relatives or even beloved pets who have passed away this year and who will be dearly missed as we enter this time of family and togetherness.

As we go about buying for family and friends the fact that this person is missing is all the more apparent and that makes it easy to spend the coming weeks noticing they are not where they used to be. I want to tell you that you have a choice as to whether to spend this next couple of weeks sad as you continually mourn their loss or smiling as you periodically remember their life.

When someone close to you passes away it can be really tough, I’m not denying it. When my dad passed away in 2003 it was a difficult time for the whole family but, and this is a big but, I made a choice at that time to look back on his life with a pride and a happiness about who he was. It didn’t stop me being sad sometimes when he wasn’t there, it doesn’t stop me missing him sometimes when a big family occasion happens and it doesn’t stop me just wanting to hear his voice or his words of wisdom (that in reality I’d probably ignore anyway!!) but it does allow me to feel happy for what I have had rather than what I have lost. Do you see the difference yet?

When we grieve for something or someone, we are focusing on wanting what we have lost. Wanting ‘them’, whoever that is, to be there when they aren’t, imagining how much they would have enjoyed <insert name of event here> but they can’t, basically wishing that they were still with us. But, and this is just the reality of the situation, they aren’t.

Before I go on, I positively encourage you to sometimes miss that person and to sometimes feel sad that they are not with you, this is a sign of how much you loved them, how much you cared for them and how big a part of your life they were. I just don’t want you to live there. One person has already died, there is no point in making it two.

So what do you do? Well there are many things we can do but here are just 2 simple things we can focus on that will conquer any of the negative feelings we have talked about and I urge you over this festive period to fill yourself to the brim with both of these about those that are here physically and those that aren’t..

Firstly, Gratitude. Be grateful for everything you experienced with this person, no matter how long or brief a period they were a part of your life.

Try it now. Inside your mind and your heart remember a time that now, as you go back, if you could, you want to say ‘Thank You’ for. A happy time, a funny time, a tiny thing, a big thing, a quiet time or maybe an exciting time. Whatever comes to mind. And inside you, in the most caring and loving voice you can muster, say ‘Thank You’ to yourself, to that special person, to the world! Now how does that feel to do? How does it feel just to say ‘Thank You’?.

Yeah, there may be a tear or two but they will be tears of gratitude, not loss or grief. And grateful tears are tears worth shedding!

Now anytime you feel that dark blanket of grief coming on, recall another time and another time and another time with that person and inside, from deep down in your heart, say ‘Thank You’ and mean it.

Secondly Love. Love is a funny emotion because the right kind of love will stay with you forever. If you have loved you can always love again. The fact that the person you loved is no longer here physically doesn’t change that.

Let’s do it again; Remember a time now - it can be a tiny time that just meant something to you or something huge that almost made your heart explode with love or even somewhere in between - but remember that time vividly in your mind and in your heart and remember what that person’s love feels like. Wallow in it, recall it, be Grateful for it and live with it in your heart.

That feeling of love is just as real as when they were here, it isn’t in your imagination. It isn’t a fake feeling just because you can’t touch them or tell them that you have felt it. These feelings of love are as alive today as they ever were and while those feelings are alive, so are they.

My mission to you is to make this festive period a time filled with Gratitude and Love. That is your choice. Do you choose the path that smiles or the path that mourns? Well, when I put it like that surely there is no choice! Is there?

I hope you have a lovely Christmas period whatever your beliefs and I urge you to spend the next couple of weeks remembering the joy, love and laughter that you have experienced in your life and vowing to get more of it next year.

Happy Xmas, Slainte, here’s to your whole family and let’s go get an amazing 2010

PS The name that was missing from my list? My wife’s best, furry feline buddy Worf (yes, after the Star Trek Character!) passed away in July this year. He’s missed but remembered with a smile. Always there when he’s needed.

The reason being, in my experience people are very rarely scared of needles. In reality, they are scared about what the needle might do to them! It’s true isn’t it? People who say they are scared of needles are, generally speaking, absolutely fine when the needle is sitting on a table and nothing to do with them or if they see a nice, innocent sewing needle. It’s when the needle is pointing at their arm, leg or other fleshy area that the fear kicks in.

IMAGINATION

Our minds are superb at imagination and we have the incredible ability to imagine in all our senses. We can imagine how good something might taste, we can imagine how something might smell, we can imagine how something might look or sound and, most importantly, we can imagine how something might feel. But, there is one really important word in all of those phrases…might!

The reality is we can never know for certain what something will look, sound, taste, smell or feel like. It is near impossible to imagine something and not be at least slightly off. In fact, in almost all cases when we imagine something we are wrong, to some degree at least.

So when we are there, our arm exposed and the needle approaching, we begin to imagine how this super fine, ridiculously sharp needle might feel when it penetrates our skin. Our minds begin to turn the tiny needle into something resembling the size and width of a sharpened drinking straw, we imagine the searing pain as this HUGE needle rips open our skin and this, as you would expect, this causes our bodies to react in preparation for this torture. Our muscles tense, our breathing goes haywire and, before we know it, we’re in a terrible state telling people how we are scared of needles…when actually we’re scared of our own imaginations.

I NEED A…

This is true for our whole lives. We imagine how painful things might be when, in reality, we can handle them easily. For instance, we tell ourselves that we need to have a partner/cigarette/drink/holiday (delete as applicable to you!), when in reality we have lived, are living or could live a perfectly good life without it. It is the thought that is causing the pain, not the reality of the situation.

For many people the only thing that stops them getting all the success they want, the partner they want, the job they want, the life they want is their own imagination. Our own minds are the force that holds us back, nothing else.

SOMETHING TO DO

So here’s a wee exercise that I do on many of my courses to start the ball rolling on taking back some power over your own imagination:

1. Think of something you have really wanted for a long time and haven’t got yet

2. Write down anything bad, negative or painful that you imagine might happen if you went and got this now (take about 3 minutes, write quickly!)

3. Check the time

4. Imagining that you have this thing you want in your life right now, write down anything good, positive or pleasurable that you imagine having it might bring you

5. Looking at the 2 lists, ask yourself. Which is more important to me and which would bring me more of what i want? Avoiding the painful things or going for the pleasurable things?

6. Realise that you are not scared or anxious about the actual thing itself but only about the thoughts you have about it and go take some action!

It is often the case that we imagine more pain with going and getting the things we want than is actually there in reality. When we focus on the end game, imagining the great things that will occur then we can create some incredible things.

Now, go take your medicine and I’ll see you back here next time!!

I recently overheard someone talk in a cafe about a friend’s inability to exercise any of this ethereal talent that we are all expected to be instant masters in applying. I am still wondering exactly how this person’s inability to exercise their ’self control’ affected them or their friend and I’ve got to admit to being strangely intrigued as to what form this ‘lack of self control’ took and exactly how it affected them.

Was it a food stuff that rendered them helpless to temptation or perhaps it surrounded a member (or members!) of the opposite sex, maybe it was alcohol or shopping or even it could have been violence, anger or even a crazy dance in the middle of a dance floor. I wonder!

So let’s think about it, what is ‘Self Control’? To me ‘Self Control’ is the ability to really want something and then deliberately not have it due to the perception that something negative will occur if you were to indulge. For instance, you see the chocolate cake, you really want the chocolate cake but you deny yourself the pleasure and exercise ’self control’ because you imagine that the cake will cause you to gain weight, inches or, god forbid, both!

This is great. For many of us we really do need this in certain places in our lives. That ‘just one for the road’ mentality or reaching the ‘point of no return’ have been the undoing of many an evening, relationship, diet, career or worse.

The problem about Self Control is that, in certain contexts, so many of us feel bad about what we’ve done whether we exercise ’self control’ or not!

What I mean is, we have the chocolate cake and we feel sh**ty because we will pile on those ounces or inches or we don’t have the chocolate cake and we feel sh**ty because it looked so bleeding delicious and we feel as if we missed out on the joy!!

Have you noticed the pattern? Self Control is only difficult because we focus on the pain that we have gained and the pleasure we have missed rather than the pleasure we will gain and the pain we have avoided.

So here’s something for you to start making Self Control easier;

1. Understand that the urge you are feeling has a positive intention and your mind believes it is helping and protecting you

yourself, “If I do this how will I feel about 30 seconds after it is done?”

3. Make a decision based on that

4. Focus your mind on the benefits of the choice you have made, accept the decision and move on

In practice; you see/smell/witness the chocolate cake and you are not even hungry. But, it looks goooood! Your mind quickly remembers all the pleasures it has had from cake in the past and therefore you begin to feel a motivation to have that pleasure again. It is understandable, isn’t it?

You ask yourself, “If I do this how will I feel about 30 seconds after it is done?”. You get the answer, ‘I will gain momentary pleasure from having the cake and after that I will feel sluggish, a come down off the sugar and I may even feel bagged up.’

You make the decision not to have it and feel good in the knowledge that you feel light, alert and you always have the opportunity to have the cake tomorrow.

We do it all the time; bending reality to match what we want to see rather than what is really there.  It’s impossible not to, it’s how we are made.

In many ways you could say that we get the life experience we expect to get.  If you think the world is out to get you, you’ll get to be right.  If you think the world is your oyster, you’ll get to be right.  

The question is how much of it is reality and how much is your distorted view of reality?

Just a thought.  And an example to prove that we will see things that, in the real world, aren’t really there…or are they?

Sometimes in life we meet people and a bond is formed.  I know you’ve experienced that at some point in your life.  Quite often bonds need to be broken for one reason or another.  I know you’ve experienced that as well!

But it is those bonds that remain strong over time and space that are the most important.

Think of the friends that still remain strong in our hearts even after many years.  Think of the family that we are separated from by oceans and time zones yet the love we share remains as strong as ever.  Think of that one special person in your life that was more important and pivotal than all the rest.

Yet, as people, we forget how strong these bonds can be.  We lose touch and drift apart and still those bonds are always there.  At times we maybe even let ourselves wonder if the bonds are as strong for the other person as they are for us and all the time we think about that person we send pulses of energy across those bonds.

The Ancient (and I would bet some modern) Hawaiians believe that everyone you have ever loved, known, touched or passed a thought on are connected to you by cords made of an invisible substance called ‘aka‘.

These ‘aka’ cords can conduct energy both positive and negative either towards or away from you.

For example, have you ever been around someone who is low on energy or has a real negative outlook and felt yourself being drained the longer you spent in their presence?  Sometimes, and I don’t know if you’ve had this experience, when you think of that person after the event you still feel the life being drained from you.

On the flip side of course, have you ever been in the presence of someone with a strong, positive energy, someone who, to you, is a real inspiration and  you feel as if your ‘tank’ is being filled as you feel better than ever.  Again, after the event when you talk about them you can become re-inspired and re-energised?

The Hawaiian belief is that what you are feeling is energy passing through these aka cords.  Positive and Negative.  Towards and Away.

The more positive energy that flows from and towards you the better.  Those of us that are surrounded by the flow of negative energy will feel it’s effects in every area of our lives.

I’ve always found this belief to have a real resonance with me.  I love its simplicity and its deep profundity.   Ever since hearing it for the first time I have found more and more reasons to share it and live as if it were true.

There’s 5 simple things you can do to make sure you are keeping your connections clean:

1. Choose your friends carefully - Are you surrounded by energy givers or energy takers?  Think about your friends and the people you spend most time with, do they inspire and motivate you to become a better person or are they slowly stealing your soul?  It is all too easy to fall into patterns of negativity when those around us are doing the same.  Break the mould.  Spend more time around people who are doing what you want to do and taking action to change it.

2. Be positive - Whatever you give out you will receive back.  Have you ever noticed how people will flock to those with a similar energy, e.g. the groups of ‘doom and gloomers’ smoking outside the office, the groups of power lunchers with their Blackberrys bleeping in the pub?  Therefore, what can you begin to attract if you give out positivity as a habit?  Become a magnet for inspiration, become a beacon for happiness.

3. Focus on the positive - I’ve said this before and it’s important, so I’ll say it again!  Stay focused on what you want even when the sh!t hits the fan and you will connect to those that can make it happen.  Deal with business, do what you need to do to handle any crisis and always, always, always keep your focus on the end game.  In your head, run the picture of the dream not the nightmare and you will connect to angels rather than demons.

4. Cut negative connections - We cannot not make some negative connections at some time in our lives, it’s having the presence of mind to cut those connections that makes the difference.  There is an ancient Hawaiian technique called Ho’oPonoPono (pronounced Ho-o Pone-o Pone-o) that involves cutting old and negative cords, severing the connection and giving space to create more positive connections as you move into your future.  The key to this technique is simple, forgiveness.  Forgiveness is a powerful, healing and positive energy.

If you can think of a negative connection you have now, here’s how to break it simply and quickly. (Note: This is not Ho’oPonoPono, just a simple visualisation with a similar effect.  If you are interested in experiencing the full benefit of Ho’oPonoPono look at the bottom of the posting)

Find a spot where you can sit quietly and relax.  In your mind, imagine passing true, heartfelt forgiveness back along that connection.  Picture it in your mind, feel it leaving your heart and filling the connection.  What colour would it be?  What sound would it make?  Allow the forgiveness to continue to flow.  If there are any blockages then blow them out with the strength of your forgiveness.  Keep going, keep visualising until the connection has broken.  The more genuine and heartfelt your forgiveness the quicker the disconnect.

5.  Cherish every good connection you make - There are people you will meet in life whose influence on you will last a lifetime.  It is these connections that life is all about.  You will feel when these connections are made and you will feel when these connections are tested.  Cherish and protect these connections as if they were your own root system.  Spend time feeding them and making them stronger, acknowledge when they have been neglected, ignored or treated badly, understand the influence and effect that these connections have on your life and the lives of all the other people you are connected to, always know that these connections are as vital to your success as your mind and your heart.

Try these 5 things on for 2 weeks and notice if you find a dramatic increase in your energy levels and, if you do, reward yourself for making a positive difference to your life.

It is important to remember, life is for living but trying to live it alone isn’t easy.  Getting out there, connecting, loving, growing and succeeding are the basis of a fulfilling life.  Know that you will attract positive connections to your life if you focus on what you want rather than what you don’t and sever those connections that no longer serve you.

Before I sign off, I started this post with the intention of showing you this video and I think it’s a fitting metaphor for everything you now understand (the soundtrack is not my bag at all, you might want to mute your speakers!!)

After I watched it, it made me think of one or two questions that you might like to ask yourself now;

• Who do you think has forgotten you?
• What if they are just waiting for you to get in touch thinking you’ve forgotten them?
• How long are you willing to wait before you find out?

Sayonara my friends

Fiery Balls of Goalness

I remember for a long time having trouble setting time aside to set goals.  I still, from time to time, forget about the incredible difference it makes to your outlook on life.  I put goal setting to the back of my mind, tell myself I’ll ‘do it later’ before a distinct lack of direction and focus prompts me into rectifying the situation.

When I speak to people on courses one of the things I find is people don’t set goals because they’ve never been shown how to.  It’s easy to get demoralized when you set goals and they don’t happen or because you set goals that you don’t really care about.

So thinking about that, and since 2009 is really only warming it’s tyres at the moment, here’s a few things you can do to make sure this year is the year you get closer to your dreams.

1. Know what you want - Be clear on what you want.  Do you want more money or do you want a new job?  Do you want a better relationship or do you want to be loved?  Do you want to join a gym or do you want to be healthier?   Although each of these sounds the same they are all subtly different and it’s those subtle differences that make the difference between goals you get and goals you don’t.

Be absolutely clear on what you want before you start.  Dedicate some time, usually 5 minutes will be more than enough, to make sure you know what it is your aiming for.

2. Do something about it - The secret to getting every goal you set is taking immediate and dedicated action to move you towards it.  A goal cannot achieve itself, yet many people still set goals and sit back and wait for the universe to deliver it to them.  “If it’s meant to be it will happen”, how many times have you heard that?

Here’s a new way of thinking about it, if you want it to happen then go do something about it…NOW!  Ask yourself this question “What is the one action that, when I take it now, will move me closer to achieving my outcome than any other action I can take?”.

Now…go do it!  (And just notice how amazing you feel when you do)

3.  You cannot fail - We live in a world with an expectation of instant perfection.  We get fooled into believing that overnight success is the norm rather than the exception.

Success comes from making good decisions, good decisions come from experience and experience comes from making bad decisions. One of the defining characteristics of successful people is the ability to learn from their mistakes.

“What we call failure is not falling down but staying down” _{Mary Pickford}

Thomas Edison had many attempts at inventing the lightbulb before he found the successful formula.  Imagine how would the world be different now if he’d chucked it when his first attempt went ‘POP’?

What about a small child learning to walk?  How far would any child get if he or she just gave up on the whole walking business the first time they fell flat on their face?

If failure isn’t an option, what will you do first?

4.  Be ready to change - The world is not a complicated place yet sometimes the world likes to test you to see how committed you are to getting what you want.  Getting your goals depends on your ability to adapt to the ever changing landscape that we live in.

Our landscape at the moment is dominated by financial upheaval on a global scale and once the crisis is over the media will turn their attention to the next crisis to befall us, won’t they!

So do you stop?  Do you wait for it to pass before going for your goals?  Do you hell!

If you can adapt your behavior to the landscape you live in you will get success.  Stop waiting for the landscape to be perfect because the perfect landscape is already here.

5.  Be Excellent - The final part of getting your goals is to always strive to be the best you can be.  Excellence is not

Jake finally secured C3-PO's autograph

about being beyond reproach and it is not about perfection.  Excellence is about being aware of what you are doing and changing it if it is not working.

Imagine the world’s best athletes.  To be a true champion an athlete must work hard every day to increase and build their fitness.  To be world class an athlete must study their craft and maintain a dogged focus on their goal.  To get the result an athlete must stay 100% committed to being the best they can be and doing everything in their power to maximize that potential.  To be a winner an athlete doesn’t stop until the race is over.

When you are going for any goal, whether it be big, small or somewhere in between, always BE world class, always BE a champion, always BE a winner and enjoy the results.

************

Goal Setting is not an exact science.  The best we can do is to make it more probable that we will get the goals we set by behaving in ways that attract success.

The question…now you know what to do are you ready to make your dreams happen?
