Are you feeling tense or anxious? Do you regularly worry? Do you suffer from your nerves? Do you get easily flustered? Do you get stressed out? If you perceive yourself to be suffering from any of these afflictions, then you’re letting your mind play tricks on you. The inner you cannot be nervous, anxious, stressed or uncertain. The real you is incapable of suffering from Please Login or Register to see the link. or worry. All these issues are symptoms of an over-active personality – when you feel that you’re suffering from them, it’s only Please Login or Register to see the link. trying to trip you up.

What you must realize is that your personality – from the Latin persona, meaning a mask – is nothing more than a mask that not only conceals the real you from everyone else, it has misled you into thinking that it is, in fact, who you are. But, Please Login or Register to see the link. tells us that your personality is a series of snapshots of people and events that impressed you when you were a young child – what we normally call our formative years. You snapped photos of these things because they were important enough to make you feel good or bad about yourself at that time. Unfortunately, Please Login or Register to see the link. also tells us that the normal person is much more disposed to dwell on the negative rather than the positive photographs.

And your subconscious mind is currently obsessed with those snapshots and it is this obsession that creates your personality. Essentially, your personality is not real – it may have got you to where you are and you may really like it – but take care that you don’t fall in love with an illusion.

To rid your daily Please Login or Register to see the link. of the afflictions from which only your illusory personality can suffer – worry, Please Login or Register to see the link., Please Login or Register to see the link., self-doubt, fear, frustration – you need to go beyond that personality, your perceived strengths and weaknesses. You’ve to go in search of the real you because not only does it not know worry, Please Login or Register to see the link., doubt, not only is the inner you fearless, the real you is capable of achieving effortless Please Login or Register to see the link. and happiness. The great news is that you won’t have to look to hard to find the inner you – it’s crying out to be discovered. You’ll uncover the real you in the quiet of a reflective moment, in the experience of one of those wonderful “natural high” moments that we experience at some point in our lives – where peace and contentment reign.

However, you shouldn’t wait for the next peak moment to get over the illusions of worry, Please Login or Register to see the link. and all the rest. You can do that right now by doing some Please Login or Register to see the link.. When you meditate you will start to experience that Please Login or Register to see the link., worry and fear are simply poisonous thoughts and that a clear and focused mind (the real you) simply has not time for such rubbish – it has much more pressing things to do.

Regardless of where you are or what you’re doing, you are in the company of people who haven’t a clue that their subconscious mind is creating their reality as you read these words. These so-called normal people have no idea that their subconscious mind controls them and, by virtue of the fact that they don’t control their own mind, that they are actually crazy.

In contrast, you, having delved into the study of Please Login or Register to see the link. (otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this!), have some feeling that your thoughts create your Please Login or Register to see the link.. Many books have been written about it, numerous Please Login or Register to see the link. websites explain that you can, indeed, fashion your own Please Login or Register to see the link. experience. And you may well already have achieved some results to show for your endeavours.

However, that’s when it can become dangerous. If you do know that you shape your own Please Login or Register to see the link., that your subconscious mind can be brought under your own control and that your resultant behaviour, actions, interactions and, therefore your Please Login or Register to see the link., can be directed by you – you have a great responsibility to yourself that you must rise to moment to moment. Because, just in the same Please Login or Register to see the link. that many books have been written on Please Login or Register to see the link., much has also been written on just how badly things can go wrong for those of us who know how the game of Please Login or Register to see the link. is played and choose, either by act or omission, not to play according to the rules.

Complacency is a far more subtle enemy than Please Login or Register to see the link. or fear. It lulls us into a false sense of security that permits our mind do what it does best – slip back into its normal state of autopilot that allows our programmed subconscious mind start to destroy the benefits that we might have gained from being more focused, more mindful, more present.

For the vast majority of people in this world – normal people – it is too great a challenge to snap out of the deadly hypnosis that our programmed subconscious mind wields over us. Indeed, for the vast majority of normal people, they will die never knowing that this challenge was even there to be attempted. For those of us who do confront this challenge and succeed, the real challenge is not to awaken but to stay awake and stay focused on a continual basis. We never know when Please Login or Register to see the link. will throw a spanner in the works – one that will set us off on another path of self-sabotage, so we must do Please Login or Register to see the link. in our power to do what little it takes each day to make certain that our minds are focused and that we are as fully present as we can be to the only place and time where Please Login or Register to see the link. is be lived – the here and now.

A friend recently suggested one of his best-loved self-help books to me – it was the latest in a growing list of recommended reading. In talking with him, I enquired as to how he was progressing putting into practice his learning from all his reading. I discovered that, in fact, he was a Please Login or Register to see the link.-long student of Please Login or Register to see the link. but was unlikely to ever actually take the plunge. He informed me that a friend of his had suggested to him that he “stop reading the bloody books and starting doing it!”

Bookshop shelves groan with Please Login or Register to see the link. and Please Login or Register to see the link. books. It’s big business – apparently the fastest growing niche of the publishing market. Also, Please Login or Register to see the link. websites proliferate – offering all manner of inducements to purchase their package which is guaranteed to Please Login or Register to see the link. in five minutes!

None of these websites, packages or books will Please Login or Register to see the link.. They may well point you in the right direction, provide you with an understanding that was missing your range of experience or knowledge or suggest concrete tips on how to get more out of Please Login or Register to see the link., Please Login or Register to see the link., transform yourself or whatever. no doubt about it, there is some top-class stuff available – and some innovative and Please Login or Register to see the link. online help – but it will be no use to you until you put it into practice for yourself and keep putting it into practice.

Only you can Please Login or Register to see the link.. Only you can grab control of that awesome inner power that is simply waiting for you to muster up the courage or energy to unleash it. The interesting thing is that most of the advice provided by websites or books demands very little work of you, demands that you make only very minor alterations to the manner in which you use your mind. Sadly, however, having been in this business for nearly fifteen years, I have seen far too many people who will not take five minutes every day to make the other twenty three hours and fifty five minutes so much better.

And this leads me to the main point – one that I’ve already alluded to – you have to keep putting what you learn into practice. No book, program or package will Please Login or Register to see the link. in five minutes. You won’t Please Login or Register to see the link. in five minutes. However, five minutes every day is an entirely different matter – if you make or take the time to make sure that your mind is up to speed each morning then your Please Login or Register to see the link. will change beyond all recognition. Please Login or Register to see the link. tells us in no uncertain terms that normal people only perceive what they expect to perceive and experience only what they expect to experience – that the normal Please Login or Register to see the link. is created by the sadly blind normal mind. Open your mind each morning, change your expectations and you will Please Login or Register to see the link.. But, at the end of the day, it’s entirely up to you – no one else is going to do it for you.
