The Power Of A True Decision

#SundayNightRant and #TruthTalk

Have different thoughts this week you will produce different feelings

this week. have different feelings this week and you will produce different behaviours. which will equal different results. crazy.

***If you do not CHANGE NOW you are going to wake up where you are

headed.***

Most people have a life they dont want because they have been focusing on what they DONT want. if you focus on what you dont want long enough you you are actually guaranteed to create it. if you focus on what you do want and take massive consistent fearless action then you will actually create what you want. its no big secret. its just a law of the universe that whatever you focus on expands in your life.

if you make a decision on something and change your mind you are saying to the universe not only a) Dont bring me what i want but also b) you are giving an imbedded command to your unconscious mind to associate pain to what you want in your life (which means you'll sabotage yourself) and...... you are telling your unconscious mind that you cant have what you want. this is the most destructive thing you can do.

Make different decisions this week and you will produce different actions. if you produce different actions you will produce different results. If your decisions are toward what you want and if you take massive consistent action you WILL actually set a new standard for yourself and change your life, permanently.

If you want to lead your own life and actually be a leader for others then make a decision and commit to it!! That means go all chips in, leave no stone unturned and decide to act upon what is going to be your new chosen direction. You will create a new destiny and people will also follow you because you are certain in your direction.

Nelson Mandela didnt say I have a dreammm... and then go "wait no I dont."

Muhammad Ali didnt step into the ring and say "actually can I just

jump out now."

Oprah Winfrey doesnt go on air and say to the audience go home everyone

ive changed my mind.

The word decision comes from the latin, incision. which means to cut off from. a true decision is where you cut off from any other possibility EXCEPT for the thing you are committed to.

Your life is where it is right now because of the sum total of your conscious and unconscious decisions up until now. It is important for your future to ask yourself these questions.....

1) What is my intention in this life?

2) What do I really want?

3) Where do I really want to be in 5 years,. 10 years and 20 years time?

4) What do I have to believe to get there?

5) what do I have to do consistently day in and day out to get there?

6) how will i celebrate as I achieve greater success?

For things to change you have to change. For things to get better you have to get better.

May you create the life of your dreams!

To your success and to your greatness,

Love and Light,

Luke

“Is your weight loss emotional?” – Guest Blog by Firecracker Luke Hawkins!

Luke Hawkins the NLP Man and Firecracker. He has made some points that have impressed me lately and I trust you enjoy his blog right here on ‘The Edward Files’ !!

Last year some time I was very lucky to be referred to a “Good looking Young Guy” through a client. This guy was full of beans and we further got to know each other through the 4Networking Business Community.

I watched him in a few networking meetings, spent time with him over lunches & breakfasts, got to know each other over Facebook – and I have been quite impressed at his eager freshness to hit the market hard as a new entrepreneur.

Luke Hawkins is his name and as we spoke, he said a few things that really got my attention when it comes to dealing with issues of the mind.

I then just had to invite him to Guest Blog on “The Edward Files” and he came up with this great article looking at weight loss and emotions. I trust you enjoy and thank you Luke!

“Is your weight loss emotional?” – Guest Blog by Luke Hawkins:

When it comes to weight loss, we have been sold time and time again that the latest diet, pill or ’30 day cleanse’ or ’30 day exercise challenge’ is the answer. Why is it that so many of these quick fixes simply do not work? For instance, we know that 83% of the people who go on diets regain any weight they lose plus more within as little as 2 years. Yet it is reported that up to 50% of women are on a diet at any given time. So what is it that causes someone to lose weight and keep it off forever as opposed to someone who does the latest diet, fitness challenge or cleanse only to put it all back on? The answer comes in three words YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM!

Every decision the brain makes is based on emotion. It does not matter what pill you take or what diet you go on, if you do not associate pleasure to the behaviours that would cause you to achieve your ideal body and pain to those behaviours that cause you to gain weight, then you are fighting against the current that is much stronger than you… your nervous system! The only way to make any permanent change in your behaviours is to do so in your unconscious mind where all learning and behavior change is unconscious. Why? Because 90% of our behaviours are controlled by the unconscious mind, and only 10% by our conscious mind.

When someone is having trouble losing weight it’s not the weight that is the problem, it is their unconscious mind which perceives that by you holding onto the weight it is actually providing you some positive benefit. You may think….what!! I don’t see any benefit to holding onto this weight. It is important to know that one of the most important roles of the unconscious mind is to preserve the body and keep you safe. If you have tried losing the weight and you still haven’t succeeded then you can be sure that out of need to avoid pain and gain pleasure you have decided on some level to hold onto that extra weight due to the positive benefit it is providing you. It is meeting one of your needs and being overweight actually represents a need for protection. Your weight is actually a resource as means of protecting yourself.

There are a variety of possible self protection scenarios. One example is that by holding onto the weight you are creating a barrier of separation between yourself and what you fear. That could be rejection from a potential partner again due to the pain associated with a past relationship breakup, or the fear that if you lost the weight you might attract too much attention and that would place you in a position where you wouldn’t be able to trust yourself or trust the people that you put yourself around (this can stem from childhood).

Other deeper reasons could be if someone was sexually abused they can create this barrier of separation to limit the chances of them being sexually abused again by holding onto the weight. Another reason could be if you are in a relationship and you are not happy you know by holding onto the weight you are able to punish your partner and can create a barrier of separation between the both of you. The bottom line is we all can seek protection from our fears, hurts, past pain, criticism, the unknown and judgment. When people feel insecure and not at ease, kilos will add on. When the threat is gone, the excess weight goes away by itself. Fighting fat is a waste of time and energy. Diets do not work. The minute you stop the diet, the weight goes back up. Loving and approving of yourself, trusting in the process of life and feeling safe because you know the power of your own mind make up the best diet. Go on a diet from negative thoughts, and the weight will take care of itself.

The most effective tools for change that I use for having people lose weight and keep it off forever is through the power of Hypnosis and Neuro Linguistic Programming. These tools allow somebody to change the behaviours that they link pleasure and pain to in their nervous system at the unconscious level, which is where all permanent behavior change occurs. My clients have lost a minimum of 5 kilos using these techniques in as little as one session. If you would like to shed those kilos forever then get in contact with us at Luke Hawkins Coaching Today!

Live Strong and with Passion!

Edward’s Post Blog Commentary:

Even though my weight is under control and I work out 3 – 4 times a week now, for years I struggled with my weight for a long time. Like many I am sure, I was an “Emotional Eater” which did me no good. I would work long hours and then turn to “Food” to help me, only sacrificing my future with every bite.

Luke makes a good point, don’t fight your nervous system – change it so it happens on autopilot. Like what you are reading? Give Luke a Call and love your work.  Thank you for the read!

The 4 Step Ultimate Success Formula

The 4 steps are:

1. Formulate a precise definition of you what you wish to achieve.
2. Take massive action.
3. Gauge or measure the success of your actions.
4. Fine-tune your approach and your procedures until you reach your goal.

That’s just a start. To change your behavior, modify your beliefs by modeling success principles. He taught me seven beliefs to achieve excellence:

1. Everything happens for a reason and a purpose, and it serves us.
2. There is no such thing as failure. There are only results.
3. Whatever happens, take responsibility.” 

4. “It’s not necessary to understand everything to be able to use everything.
5. People are your greatest resource.
6. Work is play.
7. There’s no abiding success without commitment.

Mid-Week Motivation

Setting clear goals + repeating them every single day + using powerful physiological movements while repeating your goals (I would suggest doing this in the morning) + Unshakeable belief + Taking absolute massive action = An integration of your goals into your nervous system and a coherence with the universe for your goals to become YOUR reality!!!

Every single result is being produced from your mind so once you a clear on what you want, make it the most compelling future so it pulls you towards it, then integrate the emotions of certainty and belief of having already achieved your goals into your nervous system, this will activate a part of your brain that will allow you to notice things that perhaps you didn't notice before and send you the circumstances, people and events for you to step up and achieve it. You have to think BIG!!!! Two different people can see the same building and someone who for example does not see themselves as successful might think 'oh they look like nice windows to clean I might ask them for a job' . While someone with a bigger mindset will see the same building and think 'Im am going to own that building one day..what can I do to own it?' and those two people will take completely different actions just simply based on their beliefs about who they are and what they are capable of. This creates a completely different destiny for those 2 people.

The quality of your life is based on the quality of questions you ask yourself. Instead of asking why does this always happen to me? Why did they do that to me? ask yourself better questions like what do I want? How can I make it how I want it? How can I solve this? What do I have to believe to solve this? What is the meaning I can choose from this to empower me to feel and experience what I want? We cannot always control what happens in our lives but what we CAN control is the meaning that we give those things that have happened. You must believe and have faith that there is ALWAYS a higher meaning for what happens if not in the present most certainly there is one for the future. So sometimes you just have to trust that there is a divine plan, there is a supreme destiny for us all and that life is happening for us. Could it be that it is for us to know, be and remember ourselves as unconditional love? For us to remember and experience the oneness that we share between us all? To reconcile any perceived separation between others that we may experience? Have an outstanding week! Peace, love and harmony
