The most powerful turnaround

How much time do you spend focused on what you don't want? If you're like most people, probably a lot. It's how we're taught to change things: find what's wrong, put your attention on it, and work at changing it, reminding yourself along the way that whatever it is, is still not right.

Guess what? That strategy is totally and completely backwards, and will only succeed in getting you more of.....what you DON'T want!

What if I told you that I was going to offer you a f.ree mp3 file about accessing more joy on a daily basis? Would you focus on the fact that you didn't have it yet, or would you immediately begin to imagine what it would be like to download it and listen to it, and how that would positively impact your life? (PS I will be offering just that in the near future on my re-vamped website, so check back.)

What if I told you that I could tell you how to achieve safe, permanent, quick weight loss? Would you sit there focusing on how overweight you are, or would you start feeling excited about the possibilities for new health, atractiveness and well-being for yourself? (Yep, I'm going to be offering this too, so come back and visit.)

If any of you saw Dick Clark on the New Year's Rockin' Eve show, you saw that he's amazingly well recovered from his stroke. Do you think he achieved that recovery by keeping his attention on how he couldn't speak, or that he set a goal for himself of being able to speak and got energized and excited imagining himself on TV again?

You intuitively know the answers to all these questions. What we want more than anything is to feel good! And the easiest way to feel good is to focus on what you want, rather than what you don't want.

The point is that you will definitely get more of what you focus on, so choose your focus well. Put your attention on the things that you want, and keep bringing your attention back to those things, even --especially--when your mind wanders to the things you don't want. The train of your thoughts is just a habit which you can change.

And I promise, you will find your life beginning to change in remarkable ways.

This one seemingly small shift will have an amazing and wonderful impact on your life.

Try it and see!

Warmly,
