I wanted to switch gears today in this post and talk about something that is absolutely vital to your success in any kind of business, especially network marketing. And it’s not related to marketing, lead generation or sponsoring, even though these are required skills that come with the industry. It deals more with the state of your mind.
I want to talk about NOW.
Where is your mind right now? Is it in the past-or the future? Is it in the present moment? I wanted to ask you these simple questions because whether you realize it or not, they are relevant to EVERYTHING! Why? Because when you are living based upon events and circumstances which you cannot control, your present is affected in the worst possible way.
Have you ever wondered what REALLY separates people who are wealthy and people who live in poverty? It’s not genetics, education or even upbringing. The difference is that wealthy people occupy their minds with different thoughts than people in poverty. You may have heard of this before, the lack and the abundance mentality. Say for example, a person had a terrible experience in the past where they lost a lot of money. They may have latched on to those past thoughts and the idea of money to this person has now been changed. Whenever they think of money, it is always with the lack mentality and they believe there is never enough.
So How Can You Live In The Now?
Living in the now is being in the moment. It is having an open and very clear mind. We, especially in the western society, tend to fill up our minds with as much as possible-not too mention listen to the television like it is some kind of holy gospel. Doing this over a long period of time can create stress in our lives and slowly but surely affect our health and vitality. Instead of rushing all the time and seeing just how full you can make your schedule, try to relax, clear your mind and fill it with affirming thoughts. It can be as simple as laying in your bed and only thinking about laying in your bed.
Tips For Clearing Your Mind And Being In The Now
Here are the some of the best ways I know about, through experience and research, that you can start using today to clear your mind and relieve stress:
- meditation
- deep breathing
- yoga
- pilates
- lying down
- streching
My personal favorite on this list is absolutely yoga! I was exposed to this ancient art form about 2 years ago and was super skeptical at first. I thought it was just something for girls who wanted to tone their arms and I had no idea just how transformational this practice could be for my life. Yoga has taught me to keep my mind clear, my body open and how to deal with the painful moments in life. I would recommend that you try out one or two of these suggestions and see how it impacts your life. Any of these powerful suggestions can allow you to free your mind from the past and the future and literally embrace the now.
How Can You Apply This To Your Business?
Not only can you apply this to your life, but also in your business. You must realize that in order to get what you have never had, you have to become who you never were. This coincides directly with the thoughts that occupy your mind on a daily basis. Be in the now and keep your mind clear, but also fill it with thoughts of abundance, gratitude and appreciation. Doing this will allow you to cultivate the right mindset so that your business will prosper. The best way to become present and change your thoughts is to surround yourself with empowering people through books, seminars and any other medium. Make it a habit.
Well my friend, I hope this post has empowered you to take a deep look at yourself and address any changes that need to be made. Sure we need to learn the fundamental skills to grow in this industry, but none of that matter unless we are clear throughout our mind. The strangest secret known to man kind is that we already have everything we need to be great in this life time. It is defined by the thoughts we put into our minds.
Yours In Success,
