Writing Your Book Using a Workable Plan

by Leave a Comment

The ABNLP recently asked me to do a webinar on Writing Your Book Using NLP. As an author of eight books and presently writing my ninth book on ‘Age is an Attitude’, I thought I would share the plans that I use now that I created from experience.

WHY Write a Book? I believe that we all have so many experiences along the way and gather so much incredible wisdom. Writing a book allows us to share that wisdom and experience, whilst we educate and offer insights to so many more people.

Why Write a Book Using NLP Skills? When we address the way people represent the world and their Learning Styles, we get so much more understanding of the written material.

What is the Process I Take When Writing a Book?

  1. The first thing I do is think of the subject that I want to write about. You do NOT have to have a title yet. Both the Graphic Designer and Publisher can help you with Titles that Sell.
  2. The second thing I do is give myself a time for completion. What helps me is to ask my publisher when she requires the book so she can publish it globally and I can be at the book awards at the end of the year. That may sound egotistical to some, and it is the driving force behind me completing the book and at a standard that gains a Best Seller Status.
  3. Then I write up a rough copy of the Contents Page. I often use the Learning Styles of People to Design this. Eg Why this subject, What is the research to date, How can I demonstrate how you may achieve this, and What If I could offer Testimonials, Guarantees, or other options for you to consider? Sometimes I put three chapters under each of these headings like I did in my “Life After Lupus…Healing Your Immune System” book.
  4. Then I notify my editor/editors, graphic designer, printer, publisher of my plan. Now we have a team to assist the smooth running of the process. This is great because now you are accountable and responsible for feeding work to these people on certain dates which keeps you motivated. They are brilliant is inspiring you to continue or change something or both. You do NOT have to write the book on your own.
  5. Then I begin to research the areas of the book to give more up to date information.
  6. This may lead to outsourcing a couple of other professionals that can add to your ‘What’ section with their expertise. I have done this in my last two books. You may also find other people that can offer a testimonial at the back of your book. The ‘What if’ Learners love this as it verifies that others have achieved similar results. These ‘other’ experts also are given a timeline that you must stick to.
  7. Keep my eye on the goal/outcome. Every month I ask myself ‘What is Working’, and What is Not Working’. I then re-tweek the action to keep things going on schedule.

Get Your Kids and Yourself Switched on for 2017

by 1 Comment

Teach them how to imagine and think ‘outside the square’.

In my latest International Best Selling Book ‘Create Confident Kids’ Michelle Tremolada and I write about the importance of ‘IMAGINATION’. Here is a snipet of what we said.

According to Einstein “Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.”

According to Joe Dispenza, “the frontal lobe of our brain is where our imagination and ability to invent are located”. He goes on to say “It allows us to take what we already have experienced and know and employ all those old circuits of memory as building blocks to speculate about new outcomes”.

The great thing about the frontal lobe is that it also has the ability to tune out the old critical voices inside of you that tell you you cannot do that. I absolutely had to use my frontal lobe to not only create this book but to offer it in this way with a letter of the alphabet for each chapter. When I got the idea, I just imagined that it would work because of the relationship between kids and the alphabet. Then I just created the topics to suit the letters of the alphabet. While I am doing this my new circuits that I am creating in my neural network are firing and the old ones, that may have told me that I can’t, are not being listened to.

Joe goes on to say that “Nerve cells that fire together, wire together”. Repetition keeps them as the new circuit. “Once they are activated as a new set of circuits and are activated, we are producing mind”. “We have infinite levels of mind that the brain can produce on command”.

A friend of mind, Michelle Tremolada, wrote this in her book to parents about working with children in developing their imagination.

“The Mind

The Dictionary says The Mind is: the element, part, substance, or process that reasons, thinks, feels, wills, perceives, and judges.

By this definition we can see that our mind is not just our brain but more of a culmination of our thoughts, feelings, and actions. Yet our thoughts are something we regularly use but rarely put to focused use. We have all dreamt about a desired outcome or congaed up a wild story in our minds when we are in fear of the unknown. We have allowed our minds to run away with thoughts of negativity and yet if we harnessed our thoughts and focused them on the very thing that we desire, with emotion and intent, it is amazing what we can achieve.

I love these three quotes:

  • Whatever your mind can conceive and can believe, it can achieve. ~ Napoleon Hill
  • Whatever we think about and thank about we bring about. ~ John Demartini
  • Whether you think you can or can’t either way you are right. ~ Henry Ford

I am going to talk about the premise that our minds do not know the difference between reality and make believe.  You see, when the mind concentrates fully enough on a thought, the body automatically acts as if that idea is true. Let’s take a look at this concept.

Have you ever experienced a dream that felt so real you were sure you lived it? Have you ever thought about something that is not actually happening in your life but you thought about it with so much passion that it feels REAL for you?

Let’s take a quick test…let’s imagine there is a freshly cut lemon slice in your hand. See the way the light glints off the lemon slice and notice the colour. Pretend you can feel the weight of it in your hand – and feel the texture of the bumpy, waxy skin. Now squeeze the lemon a little and let the juice run out of your fingers. You can smell the citrus, slightly sour smell of the lemon as you squeeze the lemon slice. Listen to the sound and feel the juice on your fingers. Now bring the lemon up closer to your mouth, tilt your head back a little and take a big, juicy bite out of it…notice the acid and sourness of the lemon, notice the strange aftertaste it has once you have swallowed. Perhaps you even felt a raspy feeling in your throat as the lemon juice went down.  By now, most people will notice they are salivating more.  This is happening because the mind is experiencing this lemon juice and yet it is not really happening.  This is what we mean we say our mind does not know what is reality and what is not.

Just as our minds can imagine a lemon we can also use our imagination to help create healthier bodies and more positive outcomes in our lives.

We all know that children have a natural ability to use their imagination. They use their imaginations at kindergarten, school and at home when they play.

By teaching them how to actively apply their imaginations they can use this very powerful fun tool to help themselves in other areas too, such as health”.

I remember my son had an amazing imagination. Whilst it may be fostered by some, it may not be appreciated by all. One day I was at his school and I asked his teacher how he was going. His teacher said “The problem with your son Mrs Dyer is that he has a vivid imagination and he thinks outside the square”. I remember saying “that is a problem? Can you give me an example.” The teacher said “Yes, the other day I asked the class how many months of the year have 28 days in them?” The whole class said “February”. Your son said, after time to think it through “every month has 28 days in it sir”. “He was just trying to be smart”. Said the teacher. I said “He was absolutely correct though, every month does have 28 days in it”. I walked over to my son and said “why don’t we go and find a school that appreciates your imagination and thinking outside the square?”

Let’s embrace imagination with children for they are the future of all there is and ever will be.

Later in the book, and in the NEXT Newsletter, in the Visualisation chapter, Michelle and I will give you some steps so you can work with your children on creating positive minds and healthier bodies.

Living Your Dream in 2017

by 1 Comment

Happy New You.

2017 numerologically is a ‘one’ year or a year of beginnings. While many people thought last year was challenging, I actually had a brilliant year. Whether or not it was good or not so totally good is in the past now. We have a chance to start fresh right now. So Happy New You is the key to starting fresh. The year is going to present its trials and tribulations and its wonder and joy and your perception will judge it according to your past experiences. If the year is just going to happen anyway, then wouldn’t it be great to just focus on YOU NOW. This will allow you to:

  • Face everything that presents in a more confident manner.
  • Send out positive energy so all those people around you get your vibe.
  • Allow you to get into flow with what presents rather than experiencing large ups and downs.

When I look at the last year I see such a similar pattern of behaviour in human behaviour, the weather and the world. Again in 2017 there is a great deal of change happening, in fact some people would call it a turbulence. Look at the changes in weather patterns, global financial crisis situations, terror attacks in various least expected places. And look at the solidarity that comes from the mass in response to those attacks. Now look more closely to what’s going on in your own life and of those around you. While this turbulence can be deemed as frightening by some, it’s also a great time to embrace the opportunities that come from these changes.

The way I see it you have two choices right now in January 2017

  1. You focus on all the negative that is going on and use those circumstances to stop yourself from moving forward
  2. You say ‘Next” and only create circumstances to follow your dreams because you are still here and you were put here for a reason. Step into your power and go 4 it.

Bob Proctor would call it “A Terror Barrier Time” where you go forward and break through the Barrier or go back to safety of what is comfortable and digress, rationing lies (rationalising) why you don’t have to move forward. Maslow would say “you can step forward into the growth or back into safety”. Peter Drucker says “while a time of turbulence is a dangerous time, its greatest danger is a temptation to deny reality”.

Like Drucker, I believe “a time of turbulence is also one of great opportunity for those who can understand, accept and exploit the new realities”. It’s a time of excitement for greater opportunities to present themselves. If we are scared of this turbulence then we are unlikely to take any of the opportunities presented to us. I am truly excited to see what is on the other side of the chaos and step into it to make great change both in myself, in my business and in others.

Understanding this chaotic turbulence will allow you to step through it also and look for the NEW possibilities. There will be a choice that you have to make at some level. You can stabilise at a less functional state taking you, your health and your business downward, OR you can reorganise at a higher functioning, more coherent state as a part of an upward spiral. This is called “A State of Confusion” by Ilya Prigogine or “Prigogines Postulation called the Bifurcation Point. (Prigogine won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1977). The bifurcation point is the exact point where we decide to change or not. Because we are energy, we move in one direction or another. Staying the same usually means we are digressing as nothing stays the same.

Your success in this time will be what decisions you make moving forward and how quickly you’re able to shift your thinking and your strategies to suit the changes that are occurring. This can be a scary and very exciting time which is the essence of any new goal.

I am passionate in assisting people to make great positive change in their world. If you would like assistance to get through this interestingly scary and exciting time I would love to help. Email Lynda at lynda@mindpowerglobal.com.au and let’s talk.

‘Designing and Writing Popular Books using NLP Principles’…

by Leave a Comment

Webinar coming on January 20 at 12noon by me and the Australian Board of NLP.

Writing books was a great wish of myne and one of those skills I did not know how to put together. This can often lead to fear and may stop us doing what we really want to do. Today I was asked to put on a webinar by the ABNLP on January 20 at 12noon and this was the topic we chose.

Ten years ago I wrote my first book called “Good Grief”. I had six people die in six months and I wondered how people ever get through that much grief in such a short period of time. The messages for that story came through my puppy dog. I sat at the computer for three hours and wrote everything that came to me, then I went to my very first NLP Course with Pip McKay. I was so emotional. It was Pip who suggested I should turn what I had written into a book because of the message that “we can focus on the great times that our pets and people had with us rather than the gap they leave behind”.

Over the course of 10 years I was asked to provide a chapter in many other books like ‘Millionaire Woman, Millionaire You’,  ‘Wounded, Survive, Thrive’, ‘Ready Aim Inspired’, and ‘Ready Aim Influence’. Each co-authored book gave me more and more ideas of how we can share our message through books.

I was then asked to write my own books, my own story. This has to be the best clearing ever. How on earth did I do so much? I was exhausted writing it. I divided the book into the programming areas of our life like 0-7, 7-14, etc. I made it an Auto Biography with an aim of Setting and Achieving Goals with an Attitude of ‘You Can Make it Happen Now’. By only thinking that way you can achieve anything you set your mind to.

Then more ideas came to me about sharing information in an NLP Format. I divided my next book called ‘Life After Lupus, Healing Your Immune System’ into the Four Learning Styles of ‘Why’, ‘What’, ‘How’ and ‘What If’. I put three chapters in each of these sections. It was like magic. The material flowed. People loved the book because it was down to earth and in their Learning Style.

The most recent book ‘Create Confident Kids’ has been equally popular. This time I used the Alphabet to structure the information and used the Learning Styles in each chapter. I then spoke openly about the use of NLP concepts when dealing with children of any age. I have a dream that if more teachers and parents know about these concepts that we may be able to assist more children growing up in the future to be empowered and make great choices for themselves.

I am already researching my next book ‘Age is an Attitude’ which I will design in the Learning Styles again. I believe NLP has assisted me in every book I have written. I also believe that as a trainer there are many ways to get the information across and books are still a very popular training option that have the capacity to educate many more people than classroom training.

I look forward to sharing this information with you very soon on the ABNLP Webinar 20th January at 12noon. I will send out more information and details soon. This webinar will be recorded.

Do You Have The Ability to Digest Vitamin B?

by Leave a Comment

As I am researching my next book ‘Age is an Attitude’ I have come across two wonderful Doctors studying other people over 100 who are well. One of the keys to being well of course is not just what we eat, but what gets absorbed. With that information they discovered the genetic code that you may have inherited. Even though they now believe that our inheritance is only 20% and what you expose yourself to is 80%, the 20% you inherited could hold a key to your health.

Recently I was told I held the genetic code that may find digesting vitamin B a challenge. That makes total sense to me because I was always questioned by my iridologist about my B3 levels, then when I got Lupus I was given Vitamin B 12 shots, and more recently my naturopath noticed a B12 problem in the structure of my cell composition. So with an ‘Active B’ vitamin or Vitamin B 12 spray, I can compliment my healthy regime so I absorb more vitamin B.

People with low vitamin B may have auto immune diseases, be stressed or in fact have dementia. Dementia is often present up to 30 years before it is officially diagnosed. As both my parents had or have dementia and I have had an auto immune disease, it all makes perfect sense to pay attention to the vitamin B levels from now on.

Other symptoms that a deficiency in Vitamin B12 may create may include anxiety, depression, tingly feet and the list goes on!!!

Negative Emotions and the Heart …could they be killing us????

by Leave a Comment

On my recent 11 day tour through Victoria. One of the topics I taught was ‘Hormones and the Heart’. Then on the way home I was listening to Vision Australia Radio and this chap was talking about two negative emotions that affect the heart. Jealousy and Shame. He talked about how these emotions can adversely affect the health of the heart as they are both related to stress. Jealousy is related to something you have, but you want something or someone else. This negative emotion is ‘other focus’.

Shame is related to something you own or did so it is related to ‘self focus’. Either way they both may contribute to unhealthy heart conditions through stress. In an article written in The Art Of Healing Magazine by Diana Rose Kottle on ‘The Art of Healing our Toxic Emotions’ she writes:

Shame is one of those taboo topics whose discussion is usually avoided at all costs. The things that make us feel shame may actually be some of the least comfortable things to talk about… ever.

I used to feel that I would rather die than talk about ‘my shame’. It felt shameful to even identify with feeling shame. And when that feeling got triggered, it not only felt like everyone around me could see the scarlet shame story – and the crimson fear I carried around with it – but also that they were also judging me harshly for it. This only added potent lighter fuel to the already-toxic emotional cauldron of fiery feelings, creating an even bigger swirling downward shame spiral in me.

The shame voice in my head — which had an anxious fear-based quality to its tone — would create whole stories and entire scenarios around things that were not even happening, outside of my mind. Yet the feeling in my body was one of terror, pain and collapse, as if the ‘shame fantasy’, the shame filled illusions my mind was creating, were the most ‘real’ thing on the planet. I felt completely exposed and naked; I felt ashamed of my shame. Can you relate to this?

Wouldn’t it be great to have a session with someone that could give you the space to talk through this? Why I say this is because recently a person died of a ‘Heart Attack’ and the arterial wall was only 30% occluded (stuffed) so there was no physical sign of a heart attack. Could our negative Emotions be killing us????????

Diane goes on to say “Facing your shame head on will eventually allow you to see it for the distortion that it is. We do not have to water or cultivate our toxic emotions with more toxic emotions (fear, anxiety, worry, anger, embarrassment, guilt); we can decide to simply remove whichever weeds from our garden we choose.

And we can even stop viewing shame and fear as the enemy and choose to have compassion for the deeply insecure, hurt and wounded parts of ourselves that hold and carry these toxic emotions around.

Exposing your light, shining your authentic truth, and choosing love, will alchemise the fear, transmuting the darkness, setting you free an liberating you from the stifling shadow of shame.

When we speak about what we are ashamed of, and when we face our fears directly, we shed light on the very things that keep us bound in knots, paralysed and internally crippled. Sharing our shame (with people we trust) lightens the burden we carry and connects us to the light.

The Nature Nurture Controversy has changed

by Leave a Comment

Recently on the Living Consciously TV Show we have had two guests that have spoken about Living Longer and Living Well. Dr Mario Martinez was the first guest and he was stating that it has been proven by scientific research that only 20% of us is genetically inherited and up to 80% of our health and wellness is from the environment we associate ourselves in during our life.

When I was studying psychology we were taught that this was more like 50/50. So this latest research is profound for many reasons.

  1. We can no longer blame our parents for our health and wellness problems because of ‘what we inherited’. While they do give us a genetic code, we can change that imprint anytime we want.
  2. Our diet, the people we associate ourselves with, the air, water, stress and thought processes ALL affect our aging process.
  3. That means We Are Responsible for our Aging Process ….. Oh NO!!! It also means we can live healthy for as long as we like as long as we make the choice and the changes to do that. Yeah!!!

Dr Mario Martinez says “More than a theory and practice, ‘biocognition’ is a way of life that shifts operative consciousness, rather than modify behaviour”.

So our mindset is absolutely the key to our health and aging process. Dr Martinez only studies people who are over 100 years of age who are well. There is so much to learn from his work.

The next guest on our show was Dr Aimon Kopera. Dr Kopera talked about the same scientific research and how finding out your genetic code could be invaluable. She calls her work ‘Epigenetics’. She talked about some of the key areas that we can change to have great health and longevity. Some of those are no surprises and include:

  1. Exercise in a variety of ways
  2. Discover your purpose in life, have a reason to get out of bed each day.
  3. Take a break, have a nap every day, meditate, and find ways to de-stress.
  4. Eat smaller amounts of food with heaps of vegetables and fish regularly. Eat less meat.
  5. Friends and Social activities are very important
  6. What are your thoughts and Belief Patterns? Are they aligned to positivity?
  7. Family matters. Enjoy them, socialise with them and walk with them.

These are some of the nine principles that Dr Kopera talks about in her new book coming out soon on modifiable elements of human life. She believes that nutrition, physical activity and obesity are “winnable battles.”  Research by Blue Zones Scientist Group and other organizations indicates they have a direct correlation to living a long and healthy life. According to the Institute for Aging Research longevity is 80% environment and 20% genetics (Langreth).

I will be meeting Dr Kopera at the EIPPY Book Awards in the USA this month and can’t wait to bring you more of what she is offering. My next book on ‘Age Is An Attitude’ will definitely highlight some of these scientific studies so we get the latest research and information.

Boosting Your Immune System in Spring

by Leave a Comment

Just like the Law of Rhythm, our bodies are looking for foods to eat in season. We also have emotional times that are different in each of those seasons. So let’s explore Spring.

  • Just like the Law of Rhythm, our bodies are looking for foods to eat in season. We also have emotional times that are different in each of those seasons. So let’s explore Spring.
    • Spring time is the ‘Wood’ Element in Chinese Medicine.
    • The wood element is the liver and gallbladder meridians. Spring affects our liver and gallbladder so avoid fatty foods.
    • The condition of your liver reflects the condition of your whole body. Everything goes through the liver.
    • The Importance of Rehydration in Spring? For the liver? Skin and for the bowel for constipation?
    • Spring is a time for creativity and renewal of spirit.
    • Dehydration can occur in Spring as the air tends to be dryer.
    • Dehydration can therefore affect the Liver, Lungs, Skin and Large intestine.
    • Spring can present a chemical war to us. Not only is the air dryer, it may be full of a lot more chemicals as people prepare their lawns and gardens for the spring and summer ahead. These chemicals are extremely toxic, especially if your immune system is low.
    • As well as the chemicals you have the winds blowing the pollens around creating sinus and hayfever. Taking care of your immune system at this time of the year will lessen your reaction to these natural phenomenon. Echinacea is great for an immune system boost.
    • Detoxing therefore can be most beneficial. Spring clean your cells to renew energy to your body.
    • Stress is one of the biggest concerns at this time of the year as our work life gets busier and our social activities build. Everyone is trying to get everything done before the school holidays or the end of the year deadlines, hence the extra pressure. Remember, most heart attacks are in school holidays because of stress and bad eating habits. Magnesium crystals to bath in and breathing may assist this tremendously.
    • The predominant emotion for spring is Anger and Resentment, hence re-occurring problems in the throat, or heart to head area if not cleared. As a coach I am clearing lots of anger presently in relation to family, work or commitment. Take a breath and some time for you.

    I love spring time as the weather gets warmer and there is a renewed energy in the air. With careful consideration for the change of season, you too can enjoy spring and all it has to offer.

Love is the Answer

by Leave a Comment

We are born so pure and innocent. We are born from a reunion of love. So why is it that for some reason so many people feel that we need to be told what we are not good at or that we require changing? I believe we just need to be loved and guided.

I read a story yesterday in the latest ‘Art of Healing’ online magazine. It was a story about an autistic boy who was diagnosed at the age of two years of age and put into a ‘special’ system for autistic kids. The mother could not bear to see her son shrug away from life and lose all of his enthusiasm so she took him out of the system and home schooled him. She allowed him to imagine, to look at the stars and create pictures that were very different. She prepared him for kindergarten and regular school. His special intelligence was soon realised and at the age of 11 he is was put into University with an IQ higher than Einstein solving scientific problems no-one up until now could have solved. A mother’s LOVE allowed this to happen. Love is a very powerful motivator for us to take action and feel worthy.

Not only is this about loving others, but loving who we are as adults, carers, teachers, trainers and parents because we influence so many people through the way we think and act. Whether we believe it or not the ‘Law of Attraction’ works. If we put out love, we attract more love back.

Joe Dispenza in his book on ‘Evolve your Brain’ (page 409) says “The brain chemistry of love is completely different from the chemistry we all produce in survival mode. The love potion released in the midbrain creates bonding. By falling in love with our ideal, we are chemically bonding with a new version of ourselves”.

When we are in love nothing seems as important as that love. Imagine building all the new synaptic connections (pathways) in the brain from a place of love. Children are the most happiest when they are young and playful and feel loved. So why does that change?

So if we want to emanate love out, it may be great to see children as perfect beings. It may also be great to communicate to children that they are always more than what they seem. When a child comes up to you and says something negative about themselves it may be great to say “So what else are you”? When they answer, ask again “You are even more than that aren’t you? So what else are you? You can continue this until they have physically changed their state and can walk away feeling great about themselves.

Children tend to feel ‘less than’ when they compare themselves with someone else. Rather than look at all the things they can do, they may focus their attention on the one or two things they are not so totally good at, which may leave them with a low self-image.

Our job as carers, parents, teachers and trainers, I feel, is to ask them great questions that may highlight what that child is great at. For example, “I bet you are great at reading, or playing or singing etc”. You see it is easy for a child that habitually goes to their negative feelings for themselves to continue to do that because it is wired in their neural network and it has an emotion stuck to it. By going there the child could think that they will get more attention. So retraining the child to see things differently and create a more positive loving picture of themselves is not deemed totally easy because there may be little reference for them to go back to. The frontal lobe has to create that new picture and the child will then attach a new emotion to it. By repeating that new positive picture with the child you can help them create a new image about themselves. A loving image. To do that we have to send love out during the process.

If the child begins to love the concept of their new self- image from your great questioning, to have them thinking differently, then they will eventually attach a loving emotion to those feelings and that will eventually be their new image.

Many children are taught to stop thinking about themselves. I think we should encourage children to think about themselves in a loving and positive way. It is not self-centred as that is thinking about you despite others around you. It’s in a way that is self-centred. When I first learnt this it was so far out of my comfort zone it was uncomfortable.

We were asked to stand in front of a mirror and say what was great about us. We were also asked to say what we would like to improve. That second list of what we could improve was very long. If you think about it people had always been telling us how we could improve. Imagine if the lists were reversed because we had allowed children to feel great about who they are. Encouraging this positive list could assist a child to see themselves in a whole new light.

Love is the answer. Loving you, loving what you do and loving everyone around you. It’s calming, empowering and allows everyone to be in control of their own lives and responsible for their own feelings, actions and beliefs.

The Universe wants you to love you. You were created as a pure loving being. Let’s get back to that reality. What a joy that would be.

Confidence and how do we get it?

by Leave a Comment

Why Confidence? I love this quote from Stephen Bowe wrote:

“God’s Gift to you is more talent and ability

Than you can use in your lifetime

Your gift is to the Universe is to use as much

Of your talent and ability as you can

In your lifetime”

 

If our confidence is low we cannot achieve what we want to achieve. Most people want to be self-reliant and assured. They want to feel confident and competent and sure of themselves. They want to get the best results possible. They want to feel good about themselves.

What is Self- Esteem? Confidence in one’s own worth or abilities; self-respect, self-regard, pride in oneself, self-confidence, confidence, self-assurance, assurance. Our entire life revolves around images. Every car, business, shopping centre, school bags, toys etc. all have their own image. That image will attract you or turn you away from it. It is no different with us.

Bob Proctor says “Science and Psychology have isolated the one prime cause for success or failure in life. It is the hidden self-image that you have of yourself”. So your Self-Image controls you, your mind, your beliefs and therefore all of your results. It is built up from genetics, past experiences, copied behaviour, comments, successes and failures.

The one thing I learnt years ago is that you cannot out-perform your own self-image. Your results in your life are directly linked to your self-image and how you feel about you. So, the minute you begin to feel better about who you are, the more you can accomplish, and the more you may influence others to do the same.

So what’s going on? Why do a great number of children and adults lack confidence? There could be various reasons for this including:

  • Experiences growing up. There may have been an experience or many experiences that you’ve had in your life growing up. The messages that these experiences have given you may not have been perceived as very positive about the kind of person you are. If your experiences have been negative, your beliefs about yourself are likely to be negative too.
  • Copied stress or negative self-image from a parent, sibling, grandparent, or carer. Children are the best at copying behaviour so who or what were they copying in your household?
  • Failing to ‘fit in’ with the peer group and may feel as if they are the odd one out.
  • Failing to meet parental or family standards.
  • Lacking in the skills to perform the tasks given to them
  • A lack of praise, love, positivity or compliments at home or at school
  • A lack of self-worth or self-belief.
  • A one-time significant event that became image destroying or took away their confidence.

Various times where they feel like they ‘don’t deserve’ and/or don’t feel good enough’. These are the top two limiting beliefs in people all around the world. If you would like to clear these limiting beliefs I have one day workshops here in Sydney and in Adelaide soon.
