Good day and I hope you are having a great holiday season.
Today I wanted to discuss something that occurred to me as I was reading
Anthony Robins’ new book Master The Money Game. Many financial wizards
teach that the key to financial independence is paying yourself first, and even more important to automate that
process. The reason for that is, because
we always find ways of spending what we make. So the best way to set aside money
for yourself before the bills, the tax,
etc., get in the way, and deplete all your income, is to do it in a way where
you don’t even see the money that comes out.
There are many ways of doing this, for example through your 401K
automatic debit program, or doing automatic withdrawal programs that most banks
offer etc.
I wanted to apply this to the use of The Law of Attraction
(LOA) and your success. The key to this
process is to figure out what it is that you need to do every day. If you have
not set your goals, you obviously need to do that first. If you don’t have a vision board, or an
image to visualize what you want, and daily affirmations, then you need to do
that first. But once you have done that
you can use today’s available technology to automate it. For example some of
the things I have set up for myself is
that I have an alarm and an appointment in my calendar for my 15 minutes of
meditations, and for my morning affirmations.
As soon as I wake up the first thing I do is to do to my phone. It is my
go to thing. So I have an appointment.
It has alerts set at 15 minutes before the appointment time, and a second alert
that is set at the time of the appointment or 5 minutes prior to the
appointment, just in case I do not get to it beforehand. Those are automatic settings on my
phone. So when I create an appointment
of “do your to-do list” it comes up before I go to bed, or before I sit down
with my wife for some family time. When I set an appointment for my daily
meditation, it is early in the morning,
before I even touch the computer, it happens early in the morning before
breakfast.
At first it becomes a little tedious. You may be tempted to hit snooze or ignore
it, but remember for you to be able to succeed, you need to set up successful
habits. If you haven’t meditated all
your life, it is a new thing for you. You
have to set a habit of doing it every day, preferably at about the same time,
and consciously force yourself to do it when the alarm goes off. That becomes a
habit. If you haven’t done your
affirmation, and this process is new to you, you need to set a habit of doing
it every day. If you haven’t set goals
or read through those goals every day and every night you need to set a habit
of doing this every day. The key to the
success with The LOA is doing it every day, and when you automate this process in this way or any other way that you can
think of, you take the uncertainty and the chances of failure out of the equation.
These are just some examples to get your mind thinking of ways to automate it.
Once you start to think about something, other thoughts will come to you.
I hope you have
enjoyed this. I am really open and curious about other ways that you can
automate your visualizations, or affirmations.
So please share those on my Facebook or Twitter feed by selecting the
respective blue link. This is a forum for us to all learn from each other and
help each other to succeed. Because as you know, there is no competition and there is no
scarcity. Thank you and as always till
next week, I wish you great success.
