When projecting your thoughts, the energy is projected into the universe and great things can happen.
Just before Christmas I was meeting some friends for an early morning breakfast at a cafe when I received a call on my mobile that she had a flat pram tyre.

Knowing that I was a cyclist, she thought I may have a pump in the car. Well a person walking past overheard the phone conversation and being familiar with the pram model suggested that she use the pump that was hidden under the main carriage.

The really amazing thing was this was that this was at 8.00am at The Melbourne Tan where apart from joggers there was nobody around.

So who would have believed by just thinking about needing a tyre pump on a subconscious level would attract the right person to provide assistance.
It’s all about having a positive attitude and believing that everything will be ok.

When taking a break over the Christmas holidays, resist the tempatation to stay at home to “catch up household chores”.
This is one of the few times throughout the year when we get the opportunity to have some time away from the familiar so pack the car and head out of town.

There have been vaious studies that have shown that it can take anywhere from 5 to 14 days to completely unwind and relax.

So what do I mean by relaxed? well you’re not in a hurry to be anywhere, do anything.
The ultimate test is to see whether you have had a relaxing break is the “care factor” test.
Take note of how you react to work stress and tasks within the first week of returning to work.
If you feel anesthetised, in a relaxed state without being too concerned, you have had a relaxing holiday and successfully relaxed your mind, Congratulations!!

If however on returning to work you feel like you never left the place and the stress levels return back with vengeance, guess what, maybe your holiday wasn’t as relaxing as you may have thought.
So on your holiday, did you disconnect?, did you check emails, phone messages, sms messages? Are you still dreaming about work, feeling anxious & stressed?

So what will it be these holidays, switching off and relaxing, or will you return from your Christmas holidays stressed?

What we are thinking can have positive outcomes based on what our mind is projecting.
Who would have thought a bad case of food poisoning would lead me to buying the video camera I wanted but couldn’t afford.

Imagine projecting positive thoughts about being healthier and happier with your life.

After eating some sushi with chicken on Monday, yes it’s the Australianised version, I contracted food poisoning with the associated headache, rise in body temperature and exhaling of the stomach contents at 2am. (that will teach me for eating something that is otherwise healthy without the fried chicken)
Fortunately I wasn’t running a bootcamp the following day so after a sleep in on Tuesday and a late start in the office, I struggled through the morning and left for home in the early afternoon to recuperate.

After a snooze, I woke up at 6pm and decided to catch up on some overdue reading, starting with Fridays paper I noticed an advertisement from one of our largest retailers promoting a giant 4 day sale.
I never read these sales ads as I’m not a very good consumer, so there it was, my preferred video camera $500 below RRP and $250 below the cheapest price I was quoted.
Mmm, problem, day 5 equals no special price.
The day before, a friend mentioned he could buy the camera just above the wholesale price through a mate who worked at an electrical discounter.

Wednesday morning, I ran the bootcamps as normal and headed to the office and found out the special price from my mate’s supplier is $300 below RRP.
Well I rang up the large Australian retailer, visualising the camera there, that the price will still be honoured and it will be the demo floor stock model and upon arriving at the store, the salesman I spoke to will be told off for honoring the price.

So guess what, all of the above happened, I received my floor stock camera at the advertised price and the salesman was told off but I still received the camera.

There was a study performed by a Japanese scientist who conducted an experiment to determine whether projecting thoughts or speech will effect the structure of water crystals.
The experiment was successful.

So if you are looking to make some changes in your life, start with what you are projecting, be it for weight loss or a healthier lifestyle, with the belief you can achieve anything in life.

Think of your mind like an orchestra, you are the conductor in control of your thoughts.
There are different sections of the orchestra, woodwind, brass, strings and percussion as you have in your mind, happiness, sadness, joy, fear, greed and many more forming part of the overall sound produced.

The great thing is that you are the conductor and can choose which thoughts to include. Imagine if you were Beethoven composing the 5th symphony and all of the sudden you heard the sounds of tribal drums banging out the bass in the background.
Now just because beethoven heard these sounds does he need to take ownership and include them in this composition? They would be dismissed as Beethoven has the control over what is composed, what is appropriate to the piece for the overall feeling and sound.

Now fast forward to 2009, you are saying to yourself that you really wont to lose weight, feel healthier and have the energy to play with you children, yet in the background all of these random thoughts are circulating: you’re hopeless, you’re fat, you’re a loser, who am I kidding, it’s too hard, why bother.

Like a conductor we must control which thoughts we keep and take ownership for while the junk thoughts get thrown in the rubbish bin.
The great thing is we can control the thoughts the same way a conductor controls the orchestra, imagine if in the opening sonata that the trombone player starts to play either at the wrong time or something which is not part of the musical piece, what happens? Is the trombone player allowed to continue or is he swiftly ordered to cease playing?

Similarly take control of the junk thoughts and only keep the positive thoughts just like the orchestra take control.

Are you finding that the fear of not succeeding, of failure is holding you back and stopping you from achieving your goals?

Have you tried committing to a new diet or exercise program only to find that you end up procrastinating, worrying about whether you will succeed, whther it will work, whether you can truly achieve the weight loss, whether it is realistic or we make excuses.

And guess what happens, not much and life continues to the same tune without any changes being made.

So we need to overcome the fear and determine where the fear is coming from.
The road to achieving your goals may be rocky and there is no such thing as failure in achieving your goals, it is only an event, not a lifestyle or something that determines your future.
There is only something positive to be learned.

So rather thinking of not achieving your goals as mistakes thing of them as habits that need changing.

Maybe heading for the fridge or cupboard at work through boredom or stress for example. Change the habit and you won’t make these indiscretions in achieving your goals.

These habits can become the noise in the background when trying to achieve your goals. Try reading a book while someone is talking loudly in the background, can you focus and concentrate on what you are reading, are you truly absorbing the content of what you are reading, can you remember the last paragraph that you have just read?

So don’t let the fear of failure stopping you achieving your goals.
