Self-Improvement Tips Successful People Use For Personal Mastery
One of the best things you can do for personal development is to create a self-improvement plan. 

That self-improvement plan should include a whole bunch of smart strategies: ways you can continually improve yourself.

Here are some ideas.
1. Control your Dopamine
Dopamine is the chemical that creates motivation in the brain.


Successful people know that managing dopamine is key.


2. Control your mood, master your mind
Another key difference between us people at the top and everyone else is this:

We know how to control moods.


 3. Control fear 
Fear is the enemy of success and happiness.

One of the very best self-improvement tips is to get rid of all fear from your mind.

But it’s not that easy, is it?

4. Self Esteem
When you have lots of self-esteem and confidence life feels easy, doesn’t it? But what do you do when your self-esteem drops, and you don’t have enough confidence?

The Subconscious Mind

We all know we have a subconscious, but for most of us, our knowledge of it ends there. Your subconscious mind is a second, hidden mind that exists within you. It interprets and acts upon the predominating thoughts that reside within your conscious mind, and its goal is to attract circumstances and situations that match the images you have within.

We reap what we sow.

Think of your subconscious mind as incredibly fertile soil that will grow any seed you plant in it. Your habitual thoughts and beliefs are seeds that are being constantly sown. Just as corn kernels produce corn and wheat seeds produce wheat, the contents of your thoughts will have an effect in your life. You will reap what you sow; this is a law.

Your conscious mind is like the gardener that tends to the soil. It’s your responsibility to be aware of how this process works, choosing wisely what reaches the inner garden — your subconscious. For most, our role as gardener has never been explained. By not knowing this role, we have allowed seeds of all types – good and bad – to enter our subconscious.

The subconscious doesn’t discriminate, judge, or censor. It will manifest success, abundance, and health just as easily as failure, ill health, and misfortune. Your subconscious accepts what is impressed upon it with feeling and repetition, whether these thoughts are positive or negative. It does not evaluate things like your conscious mind does. Therefore it is so important to be aware of what you are thinking.

Synchronicity

Once you understand that your subconscious will bring you what you need or desire, and you begin working daily to project thoughts and images of what you want, seemingly chance-events will start happening to you. To the untrained mind, synchronicity appears to to be coincidence or luck, but it is neither. It is simply the operation of the forces you have set into motion with your thoughts. This powerful inner collaborator, working with your conscious mind, will bring to you the people and circumstances you require to achieve your goals.

We are all part of the greater whole.

Modern physics sees the universe as a vast, inseparable web of dynamic activity. Not only is the universe alive and constantly changing, but everything in the universe affects everything else. At its most primary level, the universe seems to be whole and undifferentiated, a fathomless sea of energy that permeates every object and every act. It is all one. Scientists are now confirming what mystics and seers have been telling us for thousands of years: we are not separate from, but part of one greater whole.

We now know that everything in the universe is made up of energy. Everything from the items in your home, to the events that happen to you, and even our thoughts are made up of vibrations of energy. This means our thoughts are made of the exact same substance as the building blocks of the universe. Knowing this, we can use it to our advantage.

In the past, it might have seemed unbelievable that we could create our reality through this process. But now we know how to do it, and why it works. Since our thoughts are energy, it only makes sense that repeated images, affirmations, deeply held beliefs, fears and desires would influence our own reality by vibrating within the larger web of reality. In fact, if we are all connected, how could it be otherwise?

Affirmations

Affirmations are statements that you say either out loud, or quietly to yourself. By doing this, you affirm to yourself whatever it is that you desire. For example, if you have an important interview coming up, you could affirm to yourself that you will have “a great interview”.

Why Mind Power affirmations work:

When you verbalize something, and repeat it to yourself, it will influence your thoughts. Therefore affirmations are successful. If you say to yourself, “I will have a great interview”, you will automatically begin thinking about your upcoming interview as a great interview. What you focus on, you attract so begin using affirmations to focus on what you desire.

There are three rules to remember when using affirmations:

1. Always affirm the positive.

Avoid asking yourself, “What if it’s a terrible interview?” or thinking things like, “I’m so nervous”. These statements focus on the opposite of what you want. Be positive, and use words that reflect what you want to happen. If you want to be confident, use that word in your affirmation.

2. Make your affirmations short and simple.

Use a short phrase, or one sentence at the most. Your affirmation should be like a simple mantra that you can repeat repeatedly, without thinking.

3. Don’t force yourself to believe it. Just say it.

You don’t need to force yourself to believe your affirmation, simply repeat it over and over and it will naturally influence you. Repeating the statement many times will cause it to work for you.

Affirmations are simple, easy to use, and very powerful. Many professional athletes use them to perform well.  Successful business people use them to close deals and run their businesses, and artists use them to be creative and come up with innovative ideas. You can use them too, in any area of your life.

Visualizations

We live in an immense quantum sea of vibrating energy that is responsive to how and what we think. Our thoughts are creative forces and are constantly expressing themselves in our lives. Once we realize this, we can begin designing our lives with clarity and purpose.

So how can we use this reality in our lives? By focusing daily on what you desire. The Mind Power system consists of easily learned techniques that help you focus and direct your thoughts, and the first technique you’ll learn is visualization.

What is visualization?

Visualization is simply a mental rehearsal. You create images in your mind of having or doing whatever it is that you want. You then repeat these images repeatedly, daily for about five minutes a day. In your five-minute practice, use your imagination to see yourself being successful in whatever goal you may have.

What you focus on, you attract.

The key to visualizing is to always visualize that you already have what you desire. This is a mental trick. Rather than hoping you will achieve it, or building confidence that one day it will happen, live and feel it as if it is happening to you now. On one level you know this is just a mental trick, but the subconscious mind cannot distinguish between what is real and what is imagined. Your subconscious will act upon the images you create within, whether they reflect your current reality or not.

John Kehoe has taught this skill to millions of people worldwide who have seen results. It’s not magic, and it doesn’t happen overnight, but if you persist in your vision, you will be successful.

Whatever your definition of success is, you can achieve it.  You can achieve anything you put your mind to, once you understand Mind Power.

Eliminating Negative Thinking

We already know that what you focus on you attract. Worry, fear, and negative thinking allow the mind to focus on things you don’t want, so Mind Power teaches you to eliminate negative thinking. Train your mind to think about what you want in life, and avoid thinking about what you don’t want. Negative thinking drains your energy and is counterproductive; that is why fear is so destructive and why despair and hopelessness must be avoided. They work in the opposite way that Mind Power does.

So how do we eliminate this negative thinking?  The first step is to recognize the importance of eliminating negative thoughts, and the second step is to be aware when negatives are happening to us.

You can’t avoid negative thinking entirely. Sometimes negative thoughts just pop into our mind. When this happens, we must be aware, so that we immediately recognize when we are thinking negatively. When we catch ourselves thinking negative thoughts we can use any of these techniques:

Change the negative thought into a positive one.

If you’re worried and focusing on what could go wrong in a situation, change your thoughts to what could go right. Your mind can only think one thought at a time, so changing the negative into a positive eliminates the negative.

Remind yourself: a negative thought is just a negative thought.

A thought has no power other than what you give it. Negative thoughts gain momentum when you think them repeatedly. So, stop thinking them.

The key is to catch the negatives before they have time to become entrenched. With practice you will notice right away when you are thinking negatives, and you then can take the appropriate actions. The mind is a creature of habit, so encourage positive thoughts and eliminate negative ones.

Simple Ways to Balance Your Emotions and Revitalize Your Body



“My destiny is in my own hands.”  Mary Burmeister

According to the ancient art of Jin Shin Jyutsu, you can harmonize your emotions and nourish your body by holding each of your fingers in sequence.  This is a subtle yet powerful self-help approach I’ve personally used to great effect for several years.

Each finger is associated with an attitude that can imbalance a corresponding function and organ system via the subtle energy channels that invisibly course through your body.
Image result for 5 fingers and emotions


·         Thumb:  The thumb is associated with worry, the skin surface, and the spleen and stomach organs.  When this system is in balance there is an ability to give and receive nourishment.

·         Index Finger:  The index finger is associated
with fear, the muscular system, the kidney and bladder organs. We find freedom from fear and discover joy when this system is in balance.

·         Middle Finger:  The middle finger is associated with anger, the blood essence, and the liver and gall bladder organs.  When this system is in balance, our capacity for compassion is enhanced.

·         Ring Finger:  The ring finger is associated with sadness and grief, the deep skin, and the lungs and large intestine organs.  When this system is in balance there is an ability to receive and let go.

·         Little Finger:  The little finger is associated with “trying-to” (pretense), the skeletal system, and the heart and small intestine organs. Judging, comparing, labeling and asking “why” imbalances this system.  When this system is in balance, we move beyond the “trying-to” attitude and feel trust and receptivity to the inspiration of the universe.

Harmonize Your Emotions and Balance Your Body by Holding Your Fingers
Image result for hold your thumbs


Sit comfortably, relax, rest your hands in your lap, exhale and receive the inhalation.

Then wrap one hand around the thumb of your other hand as shown in the illustration.  Once you feel a pulse or two minutes has passed, reverse and enclose the opposite thumb with your other hand.  Gradually, work your way through all five fingers.  See diagrams for each finger.

During the exercise, keep your attention lightly placed on the finger you are holding while allowing thoughts and emotions to pass by like clouds in the sky.  Or, you can enhance the effect of holding each finger by coordinating it with the breath.  Exhale slowly and count each set of exhalations and inhalation up to 36 times per thumb.

The entire process will take 10-15 minutes.

If you are short on time or troubled by an emotion or imbalance, you can hold just that one finger until you feel a sense of balance returning.

A practice as simple as holding a finger can be one of the most powerful ways to pacifying your emotions and balance your organ functions.   Try it out for two weeks and see if it makes a difference in your sense of well-being.

If you would like to learn more about the system of Jin Shin Jyutsu, I recommend The Touch of Healing, Energizing Body, Mind and Spirit with the Art of Jin Shin Jyutsu by Alice Burmeister.  It’s been my personal bible for self-help treatment.

Jin Shin Jyutsu Treatment in Cancer Therapy

In this inspiring video, you will see how patients at the Markey Cancer Center who received Jin Shin Jyutsu treatments as an adjunct to their cancer therapy experienced reduced levels of nausea, pain, stress, and anxiety.  You will hear traditional medical doctors extolling the virtues of Jin Shin Jyutsu as an effective complementary treatment.  Please pass the link along if you know someone with cancer.

"We all need to be healed in the highest sense by making ourselves perfect in mind, body and spirit. The first step is to realize that this is even possible."

The 24 Gurus[teachers] in Nature

The 24 Gurus[teachers] in Nature

A Story from the Life of Dattatreya 
This is a legend from the life of Dattatreya, the first ‘Acharya’ or teacher, i.e., guru. He is considered a deity who embodies the attributes of the Hindu trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.
              

A Story from the Dattatreya’s Life

Once, while wandering happily in the forest, Dattatreya met King Yadu, who asked him the secret of his happiness and the name of his guru. He replied, “The Self alone is my guru”.
Yet, I have learned from twenty-four other individuals and objects. So, they, too, are my gurus.” Dattatreya then mentioned the names of his twenty-four Gurus and spoke of the wisdom that he had learned from each: Earth, water, fire, sky, moon, sun, pigeon, python, ocean, moth, honey-gatherers (black bee), bees, elephant, deer, fish, the dancing-girl Pingala, raven, child, maiden, serpent, arrow-maker, spider and beetle.

The core message of Lord Dattatreya is:

“Never judge by surface appearances but always seek a deeper Truth”.

The 24 Gurus Found in Nature

1. The Earth: I learned patience and doing good to others from the earth.

2. The Water: From water, I learned the quality of purity.

3. The Air: I learned from air to be without attachment though I move with many people.

4. The Fire: From fire, I learned to glow with the splendor of Self-knowledge and austerity.

5. The Sky: I learned from the sky that the Self is all-pervading and yet it has no contact with any object.

6. The Moon: I learned from the moon that the Self is always perfect and changeless and it is only the limiting adjuncts that cast shadows over it.

7. The Sun: Just as a sun, reflected in various pots of water, appears as many, so also God or Brahman appears different because of the embodiment caused by the reflection of the mind. This is the lesson I have learned from the sun.

8. The Pigeons: I once saw a pair of pigeons with their young ones. A fowler spread a net and caught the young birds.
The mother pigeon was so attached to her babies that she fell into the net and was caught. From this I have learned that attachment is the root cause of earthly bondage.
9. The Python: The python does not move about for its food. It remains contented with whatever it gets, lying in one place. From this I learned to be contented with whatever I get to eat.

10. The Ocean: Just as the ocean remains unmoved, even though hundreds of rivers flow into it, so also the wise man should remain unmoved amid all the various temptations and troubles.

11. The Moth: To control the sense of sight and to fix the mind on the Self, is the lesson I learned from the moth.

12. The Black Bee: I take a little food from one house and a little from another house and thus appease my hunger. I am not a burden on the householder. This I learned from the black bee which gathers honey from various flowers.

13. The Bees: Bees collect honey with great trouble, but a hunter comes along and takes the honey away easily. From this I learned that it is useless to hoard things.

14. The Elephant: The male elephant, blinded by lust, falls into a pit covered with grass, even at the sight of a female elephant. Therefore, one should destroy lust.

15. The Deer: The deer is enticed and trapped by the hunter through its love of music. Therefore, one should never listen to lewd songs but only devotional music.

16. The Fish: Just as a fish that is covetous of food, falls an easy victim to the bait, so also the man who is greedy for food loses his independence and gets ruined.

17. The Dancing Girl: There was a dancing girl named Pingala. One night, being tired of looking for a client, she had to be content with a sound sleep. I learned from this fallen woman the lesson that the abandonment of hope leads to contentment.

18. The Raven: A raven picked up a piece of flesh. It was pursued and beaten by other birds. It dropped the piece of flesh and attained peace and rest. From this I learned that people undergo all sorts of troubles and miseries when he runs after sensual pleasures and that become as happy as the bird when they abandon them.

19. The Child: The child that drinks mother's milk is free from all cares, worries and anxieties, and is always cheerful. I learned the virtue of cheerfulness from the child.

20. The Maiden: The maiden was husking paddy. Her bangles made much noise and there were people around. To silence the bangles, she removed them one by one. When she had only one, it did not make any noise, and she was happy. I learned from the maiden that living among many can create discord, disturbance, dispute and quarrel. Even between two people there might be unnecessary words or strife. So, the ascetic should remain alone in solitude.

21. The Serpent: A serpent does not build its own hole. It dwells in the holes dug out by others. Even so, an ascetic should not build a home for himself. He should live in a temple or a cave built by others.

22. The Arrow-maker: I learned from the arrow-maker the quality of intense concentration of mind that is required in making an effective lethal weapon.

23. The Spider: The spider pours out of its mouth long threads and weaves them into cobwebs. Sometimes, it gets itself entangled in the net of its own making. Humans too make nets of their own ideas and get entangled in it. The wise man should, therefore, abandon all worldly thoughts and think only of Brahman.

24. The Beetle: The beetle catches a worm, puts it in its nest and stings it. The poor worm, always fearing the return of the beetle and its sting, thinks constantly of the beetle and becomes a beetle itself. I learned from the beetle and the worm to turn myself into the Self by contemplating constantly on It; thus I gave up all attachment to the body and attained Moksha or liberation.

Dattatreya’s enlightening words impressed the king so much that he abandoned the world and led a life of austerity and meditation on the Self.

Difference Between a Wish and Prayer?









You might try to finagle or manipulate to tilt the odds in your favor. You beg with God to move on your behalf. You may just rehearse your wish repeatedly in your conscious mind while trying to prepare your heart for disappointment. If you are like me, you may try a combination of these approaches.

That got me thinking. What is the difference between a prayer and a wish?

Whether big or small, we all have circumstances that weigh on our hearts. Completely out of our control, our souls are consumed with the outcome.

So, when does a desire for a specific outcome turn into a prayer? What keeps it from remaining a wish left to chance – impotent and elusive?

The Bible has some things to say about this…

Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.
– Philippians 4:6-7



Take delight in the lord, and he will give you your heart’s desires.
– Psalm 37:4



Prayer is much easier to talk about than do. Even those of us who realize that it is essential to living a life of purpose, impact and fulfillment struggle with doing it – much like we struggle with any relationship.
