WEEK 130: I GET TO

When you are grateful fear disappears and abundance appears. Anthony Robbins

REFLECTIONS (learnings and actions): So last week I told you part I of the power of shifting from a place of LACK to ABUNDANCE.

The key was to focus more on your PROCESS Goals = INPUTS = LEAD INDICATORS = Daily decisions and actions, rather than RESULTS = OUTPUTS = LAG INDICATORS.

Today I want to share with you the second part which will allow you to achieve any goal (if you can implement on a consistent basis).

POWERFUL! 

Imagine, achieving ANY GOAL...wow!

Well, what is the second part?

Before I get into it, I want to tell you a word switch that will help you with this. 

On a daily basis you often say "I HAVE TO..." which really puts a negative connotation on the task. For example, I HAVE TO eat properly to be in better shape (no wonder why so many fail at getting a handle on their health).

Now what would happen if you change HAVE TO to GET TO?

Let's see. I GET TO eat properly so I can be in better shape. Automatically this empowers you as you come from a place of gratitude.

It is a simple fix, but you will see amazing results if you can make this one switch consistently.

Back to the second part of the power of acting from a place of abundance...

The answer is to SEE OPPORTUNITES everywhere.

We live in a world where instant gratification. We can get answers or solutions in a manner of seconds. For example, I do not know the answer to this...Google it. Or, swipe a few minutes to see what 100 of your friends are up to.

This is great, but it also takes you further away from acting from a place of abundance.

WHY?

Well, this instant gratification deals with what we readily see on the surface. You can see clearly the answer or have 100% certainty you will get the answer within a short period of time. Like turning on a light switch, you never doubt it will come on.

This is where acting from a place of abundance runs counter to this, as what you do not know is there is OPPORTUNITY everywhere, and you can access it any time.

Literally, anytime. You just have to have an iron clad confidence that although you might not see it on the surface it is there.

The key to doing this is to make choices on who you want to be versus how you feel, as what we feel is sometimes not correct.

By making these choices, you put your focus on the PROCESS, which then opens up your thinking to all the OPPORTUNITIES you have on a daily basis. You do this by replacing I HAVE TO with I GET TO.

THIS ALLOWS YOU TO ACHIEVE ANY GOAL...YOUR DREAMS!

Top three activities that move me forward?

1. Implanting psychic umbrellas to extinguish external stimuli.

2. Learning to truly being in Zen, as it lets me operate at the highest levels.

3. Pausing and being present with Meggo when I am in the same room.

Biggest lessons/learnings and corrections?

The drive, the hunt, the pressure, the problems, the issues is the fun part! They are a signal you are on the right path and motivation to keep going!

Do not push to remove them, but rather leverage them to your advantage. 

What are you grateful for?

Having an ayi to help us on a weekly basis. Amei is amazing and our lives would be much more challenging without her.

PLANNING (Implementation Intention):  You will follow through 2X to 3X more likely to complete your weekly task than you normally would just by filling in the following statement.

I plan to complete the weekly task [day] at [time] in [location]. 

A reminder you might have to use multiple Implementation Intentions in order to follow through.

EXECUTION (strategies used):  From week to week, I use a combination of many strategies. There are always some which are used more than others depending on what comes up, but I wanted to offer a link to all them at once. 

My advice is to identify the I CAN'T statement you tell yourself during the most. Then find a strategy below the statement which resonates with you, and then start using it. 

Enjoy!
