The Subconscious Mind Never Sleeps

The Subconscious Mind Never Sleeps

Its always listening

So you've finally got yourself together and wrote down some goals? Well done, because you are well on your way to the brilliant zone. Before we move any further, I would just like to state how important it is to manage your  money in this world. In fact its extremely important  The last words that my father ever spoke to me, before he passed on were "Son, with out money in this world your nothing, if you have money no one tells you what to do, and if you don't have it," well I think you know the rest don't you. So in order to be in control of your life you need to control your finances. If money is tight then you need to be a little tighter on your control. Look the thing is, if you follow what I suggest in this blog, you aren't going to have any money worries.

So you have written down your goals, and you haven't told anyone about them have you? (see my last post)  Good.

Now remember I was talking about the wonderful method of chunking? Well I hope that's what you have being doing with your wonderful goals or at least some of them. 

Now what I want you to do after you have read this post is find yourself a quiet spot and relax. Take all the time in the world until you feel relaxed and composed. If you have screaming rug rats around the house, this is not the time to do it, you need to find a space where you are on your own and you are not going to be disturbed.

Right you are on your own now, so the only thing you need to do is de-clutter that mind of yours and settle down, letting go of any negative thoughts (I like to light an incense stick at this stage). Now you should have your goals written down on a pad. Have a look at the first goal you want to achieve and get a real feel for it, as in really think how much you want this, and what it would mean to you. Next look at the first chunk of this goal, and ask yourself out loud,

 "What do I need to do in order to achieve this goal?"  Then sit back, close your eyes and wait for the answer. When the answer arrives (which it will) then ask yourself  "What is the easiest way for me to do this," and relax until the answer comes.

What we are doing above is using the power of our subconscious mind. What ever questions you we throw at it they shall be answered, and it has got some amazing answers, believe me.

I am not going to go any further today, I want you to learn to relax and get used to firing questions at your subconscious mind. Fine tune your questions so that they really test the subconscious  Don't be surprised if you wake up in be in the middle of the night shouting eureka. Don't think  just because you have switched off that your subconscious has,  oh no!! it will still be trying to find the answers to those questions which you gave it earlier. 

The subconscious mind never sleeps, its always awake in the background listening, and monitoring your life, it knows more about us than ourselves.. More about that in my next post.

Get your SHIZZ together

Setting Goals

So you want to hit the back of the net

It's easy setting goals,  its a doddle (I like that word) to achieve them. There is one simple rule that I use to when I set out to achieve goals and that's chunking (I like that word also). I wouldn't set out to achieve goals without chunking. Why? Because its a winner and I love anything that allows me to win win win.

What is chunking? Well its breaking your goals into easy to do bite size chunks so that they are manageable,  achievable, and gaugeable  You want to be able see that you are making progress towards your end target don't you? Yes because its good for the soul.

Lets give you and example. If I wanted to write a book (which is something I do) and I set out for at least 40,000 words it may appear to be a long tedious task  if I only had the end goal in sight. What I do is set my self a target of one thousand words a day, which is easy for me as I can write around 5,000 words in a sitting. At that rate, I will have created my draft in around 40 days and lets say one week for editing.  Hey presto  in around two months there's my book. You get the picture?

You may want to buy a car, but the price is way out of your league, but if you chunk it down its possible. You can break it down into small enough chunks over a long enough period, then anything is achievable, the only thing that is stopping you is yourself. It could be a Porsche or a Lamborghini for 4o grand, chunk it and have the patience for ten years and you will be driving it, believe me. though you could just keep telling yourself that you will never have it and guess what, you will prove yourself right.

When you are setting goals you must take other people out of the equation and whatever you do please don't go about telling others what your plans are because they are bound to fail. A little bit of silent power is needed here. If you don't understand what silent power is read this book by Stuart Wilde its the best book that I have ever read, scouts honour on that.





He will tell you things that will change you life.

Any way back to setting goals...

One goal that you need to set yourself is to surround yourself with positive people (like myself) who want to see you do well. Its amazing the effect that negative energy can have on what you want to achieve. There are people that always want to rain on your parade, yeah you know the ones am talking about don't you?  so what the hell are you doing with them? You have to begin a clear out of all the dead wood, the people who are (pardon my French)  bringing all the shit to your table. Your goal setting now and you want to move on, don't you? I hope you do.

Get a pen and start writing them down, if you need any help just ask and I will try and point you in the right direction. I have got all the time in the world for those who are setting goals and want to make it go the brilliant zone.

Wait until till you see my next post, I am going to show you a little bit of magic and you would be daft to miss it. Its very powerful stuff.

What Zone Are You In Grumpy?

Setting Your Goals and Breaking Free

What Zone are you in?

So you have finally had enough of getting up in the morning and doing the same old thing. You feel like you are travelling in circles on a merry go round, same old routine day in day out. In fact you cant even be bothered getting out of be in the mornings, and you ask yourself what's the point. You haven't got enough money to spend on what you want, and you are  just about paying the bills, life's a struggle.

Sounds to me like your in the grey zone, but wait, it could be worse, you could be in the awful zone, now there's a place you don't want to be. 

I am going to ask you a few questions - let us see what your answers are.

• Do you have anything to look forward to in the future?
• Do you love getting out of bed in the mornings?
• Do you take a holiday at least once a year?
• Can you afford to buy the things that you want?
• Do have a job?
• Do you love your Job?
• Can you afford to join in all of the activities that your friends or partner may  put forward?

If you answered no to two or more of these questions you are in the grey zone. 
If you answered no to three or more of them you are in the awful zone. 

If you answered yes to all of them, then you are in the brilliant zone and this particular post is not for you, because you're enjoying life, you lucky sod.

Setting Goals

If you are in the awful zone, or the grey zone, how do you get out of it, you are probably thinking to yourself... Well you will need to set yourself a few goals, and go about achieving them.

Now you need to set goals in a positive manner, as in... do not state what you 'don't want', state what you 'do want'.

i.e  I don't want to be walking to work in a years time (negative goals setting).
       I want to be driving to work in a brand new car in a years time (positive goal setting).

Generally if you have the words don't and can't in your goal setting then these are negative  Remove them and take a different approach.  This is very important.

Here are  some examples below of positive goal setting:


State the goal in positive terms.

Describe the Present Situation and compare it with the desired future goal.

• Where are you now?
• Where do you want to be?
• What do you want?
• State it in the positive (what you want to achieve).
• What are you going toward?

Ok now that I have given you the tools to find out where you are at the present point in time, and whether or not you need to address your situation. you need to spend a couple of hours setting goals. Look at the examples above and take your time. 

I shall be back in a couple of days, to empower your goal building process.

Just remember if you answered no to two or more of the questions above, you need to make some changes in your life. remember the great thing about setting goals is that you can be as extravagant as you want,there are no limits and it is a process which should be fun, so  reach for the stars with your goals and if you make half of them come true you will be in a totally different reality.

The next time somebody tells you that setting goals is really a lot of hype, tell him/her this. "If life is a journey, how will you get there if you don’t have an itinerary? Goals tell you where you are going, how you are going to get there, and what you will do when you get there".

As soon as you start writing your goals down and believing in them, you will already be taking a giant leap towards the 'Brilliant Zone' and that is where we all want to be.  

Its not hard, at all, you just need to get the ball rolling.

My Top 5 Reasons For You Quitting Alcohol

My Top 5 Reasons For You Quitting Alcohol

1) You will save money (a lot of money)

I don't think there is an easier way of wasting money than spending it on booze. That is why it is described as pissing it up the wall. We also lose our self control when we drink and this leads to us spending more money than we normally would, or worst still money that we cant afford to spend. Be honest with yourself, how many times have you woken up and the first thing you have thought of is how much you've spent? 

Horrible isn't it? Exactly.

2) Weight Loss

Depending on how much you are drinking, you may well be piling on the pounds without noticing it. Alcohol is full of empty calories, and it is known to increase your appetite  at an alarming rate. Just  like spending money you haven't got, alcohol makes you throw away all of your inhibitions,  like dieting and giving up smoking. Your aims and goals come second when you have been on the demon drink and all the hard work you have put it gets flushed down the drain.

How many kebabs do you eat when you are not drinking?

3) Improve Your Health.

Alcohol is bad for you full stop. Apart from adding to your weight  it is bad for all of the organs in the body, especially the brain. Did you know that over time alcohol turns the brain into a sort of sponge? No. Well they are not going to put that into any of their polished adverts are they. Your skin suffers to, it becomes dehydrated and shrivelled  Have you seen the skin on the vagabonds in the park? Yes that's right bright orange and crinkly, this is due to liver damage and dehydration, you have been warned young lady with the  glowing skin, this could be you after too  many late nights out.

4) Improve Your Sleep

Are you having trouble sleeping? This could be down to alcohol. Its a misconception that alcohol promotes better sleep, in fact the opposite is true. Alcohol can help you to nod off, that is fair to say, but it interferes with the way that you function in your deep sleep (this is where you replenish your cells), you will be tossing and turning all night long. So the next time you are in work, feeling rough, remember the demon drink is to blame.

5)  Hangovers

Who likes hangovers? No one on this planet. Personally I cannot even stand the word hangover, it is a despicable word for  me, it makes me heave. I prefer to use the words self and harm, because that is what you have done when you have a hangover, you have self-harmed. Now this might sound a little over the top but I can assure you that it is not. If you know what Alcohol does to you then why do it? There is nothing worse than going to work with a hangover, or having to attend some sort of formal function, its soul destroying.

These are just some of the reasons why I stopped drinking alcohol, I have lots more, but I don't want to dwell on it. If you feel that you are drinking just for the sake of it, or you are over drinking, then you need to find something better to do. Make sure that you come back soon as I am going to be getting up close and personal and show you how I got to the brilliant zone in my life, and how you along with me can get there too, it easy.

Dropping the Alcohol

Right! Now that I've got that enormous wooden fence painted and the stuff which we brought back from yesterdays car boot put away, I can start having a quick chat with my beautiful people online.

How are you all? Oh!!  it's going that good is it? Great.

I mentioned quickly in my last post about me giving up drinking alcohol. I had to as it was ruining my life, the fun had gone out of it, the show was over. I always thought that because I was having a really good time that everyone else was, but hey guess what? Yeah that's right they weren't. 

I become a bit of a party animal when I drink and I can never say enough is enough. My girlfriends great she can neck two bottles of wine and she just looks the same as when she started (but seriously I don't know whether that is a good thing though for health reasons), were as I only have to sniff a glass of lager and I am 'on one'.

Some people are meant to drink and some people aren't it really is that simple. I enjoy life more when I don't drink as hangovers really depress me. This is not the first time that I have given up drinking, I have gone over six months without a drink and  I never touched no alcohol at all over the last two Christmases and New Years, which shows that I don't really need it. 

Another plus of not drinking is that I only smoke cigarettes when I drink, so my health is getting another double whammy bonus.

I've decided to write a few posts on why I find it so easy to stop drinking and why positive thinking is so influential in my life. I've got a lot of experiences to share, and feel that I can be of great influence to people who need it.
