Create a reality you want in 7 Steps

1.      Decide who you ARE

When you decide who you are, you automatically create yourself in the moment you are deciding to be that person across the board, no matter what. Whenever you change that decision, you change your reality. In the moment that you decide, you become that decision and hence you become that reality. What you choose and what you decide is what you are being and what you subsequently trust in. If you remain focused and conscious about it, your actions then reflect that decision.  Therefore, your actions produce an effect that is consistent with that decision in the way that you create your physical life. Your reality, which is you and comes from you and which is an expression of you, can give the impression of being external to allow for the idea of reflection, of knowing and of mentality.

When you begin to awaken your consciousness and recognise that you can create your reality consciously, you begin to factor in the idea of having a conscious decision. This generally takes the form of having the decision be according to desire and preference rather than the random idea that you are handed a reality or a decision. Even if you create the idea that it seems that you have been handed the decision of who you are, you only get the effect of being the person you are when you agree with that decision.

In creating consciously, you begin with using your desire, your preference and your discernment to narrow down who it is you want to be and who you wish to be. Therefore, make the decision of who you wish to be consciously, according to preference and according to the person that you ideally see yourself as. You contain it all and that means you can choose from anything and one of the options is to choose to be the person you desire and ideally picture that you are.

2.      Trust your decision

The idea that allows you to implement that decision to change your life is the idea of trusting the decision. By making the decision, in each and every moment, you are literally creating yourself. If you have a consistency to that decision; if you choose who you are and continue to decide that that is who you are, then you create a continuity and the foundation through which you can begin to see the changes in your reality. You can begin to see the changes through the eyes of the decision rather than through an older approach to your reality. When you decide who you are, you begin to see as that person and that person sees and interprets his/her reality and external circumstances differently.

Trust and faith is something that you always have. You always have trust and faith in something. If you think that you have no trust and you are doubting something, understand that doubt is not lack of trust. It is, however, a complete 100% trust in a reality that you do not prefer. Realising this allows you to remove the sense of burden from the idea of trust because you do not have to muster it up, build it up or exercise your trust muscles, you are already trusting something.

If you are simply accurate and constructive with your approach, you can understand that you are trusting in something. You always make a decision and if you trust in that decision and act as though that decision has registered, you get the effect of that decision. If you say you do not trust the decision, perhaps your circumstance shows otherwise, you are still trusting in something; generally, a disempowered idea. You always decide and you always trust.
Being willing to make your decision consciously and to trust your decision consciously is all that it takes to use the mechanism that you already employ in your life, but use it constructively. Use it to have a desired effect and to create the life that you prefer. Trusting your decision is truly and simply maintaining the decision.

3.      Vision

Your personal vision is a picture of your true self in the future. This, as is usual, includes all the important components of your life and career; who you want to be, what you want to do, how you want to feel, what you want to own, and with whom you want to associate. Basically, your personal vision is a snapshot of the things that excite you the most. Your vision guides your life and provides the direction necessary to chart the course of your days and the choices you make about your life. A vision is like a compass that guides and directs you towards your reality. Many people go through life without a definite vision and often wonder why their reality is not as they want it to be. When clarifying your vision, you begin to determine the reality that you prefer. 

Creating your own reality according to preference involves a slight shift in perception. You already create your own reality unconsciously and now all you need to do is take responsibility for creating your reality according to your preference. In the past, you have been creating your reality in auto-pilot mode, being unaware of your thoughts and feelings.

You must clearly define your intention or the vision which represents the purposes or general themes in your life. Through your alignment with that thing that gives you the ultimate excitement, your moment to moment reality begins to reflect this alignment. When you decide to establish your specific vision, each moment has something directly to do with that vision. What excites you in any given moment will now change, for those things that excite you will now be representative of the path of least resistance towards that most exciting thing. Use this as a compass for directing you to where these moments will ultimately lead.  

4.      Deservability

Clear deservability is another clarifying issue that allows you to see your connection to God or what you would desire within existence. Your deservability is your inherent given, you need not have done anything in particular in order to deserve to exist. You simply exist and along with it, you have both excitement and desires and you also deserve to fulfil these desires. So, if you find yourself bumping against a wall, look at the fact of do you truly feel that you deserve the things that excite you and if you do not, have a closer look at that issue. If you believe that you do not deserve, know that you can change that and you can begin to grant yourself deservability.

Realise that your primary relationship in life is with yourself. Your ability to do anything externally will only be a reflection of your willingness to do so internally. Your willingness to love yourself unconditionally will be reflected in your ability to love others unconditionally. Your ability to cease judging yourself will allow you to cease the judgement of others. Therefore, deservability can be a prime clarifying issue.


5.      Beliefs

Your beliefs are the foundations of your actions and your actions create your reality. If you believe in a negative outcome, you will perform actions that will attract you to a negative outcome. The only way to change your negative beliefs is by acknowledging them. By allowing an emotion to deliver a belief you can create the joyous appreciation of your reality. You must first acknowledge the old negative belief and then acknowledge the new positive belief. Then compare in your mind, how one who believes in a negative outcome acts and how one with a positive belief acts.

People always act according to what they believe. So, in stating the new preferred positive belief, and using your imagination to furnish how a person would act who believes that, you will see a different set of actions come forth in your imagination. They will then be available for you to choose as your action.  Should you choose the action reflective of a positive belief then you create a momentum of events leading to that positive outcome. You will create a vibration that attracts to you the positive outcomes, even under the same set of circumstances.

Understand the distinction between exploring something mentally and experiencing it. You can literally explore any idea but without action, the thought will not manifest into a reality. It is safe to look at any belief within you – even the ones that are disturbing – for if you are not acting according to those beliefs, the mere thinking of them has no effect. This gives you the license to freely view and review the things that you believe, understanding that they cannot destroy you. In fact, keeping them in place, through denial, rather than acknowledging and transforming them, gives them more power to seemingly have a negative outcome.

6.      Excitement

Creating your own reality according to preference involves a slight shift in perception. You already create your own reality unconsciously and now all you need to do is take responsibility for creating your reality according to your preference. In the past, you have been creating your reality in auto-pilot mode, being unaware of your thoughts and feelings. From this point forward, you must base the creation of your reality on the things that excite you the most. Remember, your excitement is who you choose to be in this life. 

This applies to the ultimate exciting thing that you feel you may ever do and it also applies to available things at any given moment using that vibration. That excitement is there to determine what is representative of you so that you can act upon that option with integrity. Acting with integrity means acting as though you are integrated with all things.

Align yourself with the ultimate exciting thing that directly affects what occurs in the moment. This allows what happens at any given moment to be a stepping stone towards your ultimate exciting thing. If you want to create your reality consciously according to what you prefer, you must acknowledge the thing that gives you the ultimate excitement. You must clearly define your intention or the vision which represents the purposes or general themes in your life. Through your alignment with that thing that gives you the ultimate excitement, your moment to moment reality begins to reflect this alignment.

In each and every given moment, there are a series of choices that are available and immediately accessible. Choosing from those choices, with the excitement as the criteria that you will not settle for a less, and then acting upon that action creates a new effect in your life. When acting from an excited perspective and with integrity, the result can only be an exciting result and not harming you or anyone else.

Deciding and allowing yourself to be excited and factoring in moment to moment excitement into your decision is the beginning of the journey towards being the one that you wish to be. When you notice which one excites you the most, within the different options that you are presented with, you can embellish the decision to include the idea of the thing that excites you.


7.      Action

The physicalised movement of your physicalised body is the thing that actually creates the reality. Your style and approach of your action results from your beliefs and the cause of causes are your belief systems. The actual mechanism that ringed in the reality and allows it to change and transform is the action. Your willingness, not only to define what it is that excites you, to act upon your excitement is the set of parameters that will allow you to create the reality you prefer most. Begin to pay attention to what excites you and as well as pay particular attention to what does not.

You can only experience a reality you are the vibration of. Many people are functioning as beings that manifests what they do not prefer. The way to transform for a being whose vibration is that of manifesting the reality that is not preferred, is by action. When you believe that you have always created a certain portion within your life of things which you do not prefer, and assume that you will continue to do so, you can then perpetuate the idea that you create your life that you prefer. Now, what will physically raise your vibration is physical action. The tone of that physical action is determined by your underlying beliefs.
Clear action is what you do, how you move and how you implement the ideas. 

It is the implementation of the ideas that bring them into your physical reality. You exist on a simultaneous and infinite number of levels and what you are choosing to explore now is the physical existence. It is the actions that you perform that is the ultimate physical manifestation of your emotions, beliefs and thoughts.

Top 10 Productivity Hacks


We all need a productivity boost now and then — sometimes throughout the day. We each want to be productive for very personal reasons — to accomplish more, to make more money, to get done earlier to make more time for our personal lives, to accomplish our goals. But whatever the reason, these Productivity Hacks will do the trick.
Here they are, in reverse order
#10: Take care of your Most Important Things first. Your Most Important Things (MIT) for the day — the things you most need to accomplish that day — should take priority over everything else. However, we all know that fires come up throughout the day, interruptions through phone calls and email and people dropping by, new demands that will push the best-laid plans aside. If you put off your MITs until later in the day, you will end up not doing them much of the time.
Try to get all three of your MITs done before moving on to anything else. If you can do that, the rest of the day is gravy!


# 9: Wake up early. Decide what you’d like to accomplish each morning, and build your morning routine around that. Like to exercise? Put that in there. Healthy breakfast? Go for it. Check email? Fine. The mornings are a fresh start, peaceful and free of ringing phones and constant email notifications. If you get your Most Important Things done in the morning, the rest of the day is just gravy. 


# 8: Simplify information streams, crank through blogs & email. Think about all the information you receive (email, blogs, newsletters, mailing lists, magazines, newspapers and more) and edit brutally. You will drastically reduce the time you spend reading. For everything else that begins to come in after your editing process, ask yourself if you really need to be getting that information regularly. Most of the time the answer is no. Now, after this process, you should be left with less to read. Here’s the next step: crank through it all, really only reading the really interesting ones.
Editing and cranking through the information you receive can free up a lot of time for more important things — like achieving your goals.


# 7: De-clutter your work-space; work on one thing at a time. The de-cluttering your work space part of it is simply to remove all extra distractions, on your desk and on your computer. If you’ve got a clean, simplified work-space, you can better focus on the task at hand. 
Now, with distractions minimized, focus on the task at hand. Don’t check email, don’t work on five projects at once, don’t check the stats on your blog, don’t go to your feed reader. Work on that one task, and work on it with concentrated focus until you are done. Then celebrate your achievement!

# 6: Get to work early; work fewer hours. My best days come when I get into work early, and begin my work day in the quiet morning hours, before the phones start ringing and the din of the office begins it crescendo to chaos. It is so peaceful, and I can work without interruption or losing focus. I often find that I get my MITs done before anyone comes in, and then the rest of the day is dealing with whatever comes up (or even better: getting ahead for the next day).


# 5: Avoid meetings; when you must meet, make it effective. I find it best to say no to meetings up front. I just say, “Sorry, I can’t make it. I’m tied up with a project right now.” And that’s always true. I’ve always got projects I’m working on that are more important than a meeting.

# 4: Avoid unnecessary work. If we just do any work that comes our way, we can be cranking out the tasks, but not be productive at all. You’re only productive if you are doing work that moves you towards a goal. Eliminate non-essential tasks from your to-do lists, and start to say no to new requests that are non-essential.
If you do not take these steps and speak up, and say no, then you will be overloaded with work that you simply do not need to do. Cut out the non-essential tasks, and focus on those that really matter.


# 3: Do the tough tasks first. You know what those tasks are. What have you been putting off that you know you need to do? Sometimes when you put things off, they end up being things you don’t really need to do. But sometimes they are things you just have to do. Those are your tough tasks.
Do them first thing in the day.

# 2: Work off-line as much as possible. To increase your productivity, disconnect your Internet connection. Have scheduled times when you’re going to check your email, and only let yourself check your blogs or surf the web when you’ve gotten a certain amount done. When you do go online, do it on a timer. When the timer goes off, unplug again until the next scheduled time.
You’ll be amazed at how much work you’ll get done.

# 1: Do something you’re passionate about. This might not seem like the normal productivity tip, but give it a thought: if you really want to do something, you’ll work like hell to get it done. You’ll work extra hard, you’ll put in even more hours, and you’re less likely to procrastinate. It’s for work that you don’t really care about that you procrastinate.

8 Experiments in Motivation


I was talking to a 19-year-old recently and he has been struggling with motivation.
His problem goes like this: he gets excited about starting a project or plan, and is very motivated at the start … but after a few days, that feeling dies down, and he starts procrastinating. He really does want to do the project or follow through on the plan, but the motivation inevitably drops away.
I told him this is something he should devote some effort to figuring out, because very few problems are as important to solve as this one.
I suggested experiments in motivation. Every person is motivated differently (and in fact, that can shift), so finding methods that motivate you personally is a matter of experimenting.
I’m writing this post for him, and anyone else who might want to try these experiments.
How does it work? You try each experiment for a week, and note the results. After a couple months of doing this, you know more about your personal motivation style than ever before.
Here are eight motivation methods you could try:
1. Un-ignorable Consequences. Set a deadline for the task(s) you want to complete, and a consequence you won’t be able to ignore. It’s best to share this deadline and consequence with an accountability partner or publicly. 
Example: I post on Facebook I’m going to write 1,000 words in my book every day this week, or I can’t watch TV for a week. (That only works if you really care about the consequence.)  

Another example: if I don’t write my first chapter by Saturday at midnight, I have to donate $200 to Donald Trump (or whichever candidate you don’t like) and post about it publicly. The idea is that the consequence should be embarrassing and something you can’t just ignore.

2. Completion Compulsion. Many people, myself included, have a strong desire to complete a list. For example, if you’ve watched 15 out of 20 episodes of a show, you might really want to finish watching the show. This is “completion compulsion,” and I think everyone experiences it sometime — especially if finishing the list seems doable.

So the method is this: make a list of 10 small actions (10 minutes or less to complete) that you want to finish this week on a certain project, or 5 small actions you want to finish each day, and make it your goal to finish the list. You could combine this with the un-ignorable consequences method (if I don’t finish my list each day, I can’t have wine).
  
3. A Powerful “Why”. Understand the deeper reasons you want to complete this goal or accomplish this task. It should be a reason that really resonates with you, that you deeply want to achieve. Now write your “Why” in a phrase (like, “compassion for myself” or “to help others in pain”), and post it somewhere visible, so you won’t forget it.

4. Get Excited Daily. It’s easy to be excited about a project or goal when you first start, but that dies out. So renew it! Each day, start by setting a goal for the day that you can accomplish and that you care about. Find inspiration, visualize your accomplishment, find some music that motivates you, find an inspirational quote or video … anything to get you excited to accomplish your goal for the day!

5. Focus on Being True to Your Word. One of the most important things in life is to be trusted, to have people believe that when you say you’re going to do something, you’ll do it. If people don’t trust in that, you won’t have good relationships, romantically, with friends, or at work. Imagine hiring someone and not knowing if they’re going to show up, or do the work if they do show up.

So you should make it one of your priorities in life to live the motto, “Be True to Your Word.” That starts with small things: tell someone you’re going to do a small task that will only take 10-30 minutes. Then do it. Repeat this several times a day, building other people’s trust in you and your own trust in yourself. Post the motto somewhere you won’t forget it.

6. Find a Group. Humans are social animals, and you can use that to your advantage. Create an accountability group of friends or colleagues who want to achieve a goal or finish a project. Agree to set daily or weekly targets, and check in with each other daily or weekly (form a Facebook group or subreddit, perhaps).

Set rewards and/or embarrassing consequences for hitting or missing the targets. Have weekly “winners” for those who did the best at their targets. Encourage each other and help each other when someone is faltering.
  
7. Focus on a Sense of Achievement. With every task you complete, pause at the end of it to savor your feeling of accomplishment. This is a great feeling! Share your victory with others. Savor the feeling of building trust in yourself. As you start a task, think about how good you’ll feel when you accomplish it.

8. Small Starts, Quick Rewards. Create a system where you have to do short tasks (just 10 minutes) and you get a small reward at the end of it. For example, I just need to write for 10 minutes, then I get to have my first coffee of the day. Or I clear my email inbox for 10 minutes, and then I get to check my favorite sites for 5 minutes.

Don’t let yourself have the reward unless you do the task! The smaller the task, the better, so you won’t delay starting.
  
OK, these are eight experiments, but you might think of others, like the Seinfeld Method or the Pomodoro Technique. All that matters is that you try the experiments, and note the results. At the end of each weekly experiment, write a brief review of how it went. Rate your productivity on a scale of 10. Then try another experiment.
At the end of these, you’ll have tried a bunch of great methods, and figured out what helps you most. You might combine methods, or use different ones at different times. And maybe after all of this, you’ll have a trust in yourself that’s so strong, you don’t need any methods!

4 Steps to Manifesting Everything

There are four fundamental phases that you have to go through when you want to experience the reality that you prefer. Although there may be comparatively smaller steps that you can act upon, the four main phases are the foundation of all reality. The four phases are:

1. Clarifying your vision
2. Identifying your beliefs and definitions
3. Taking inspired action, and
4. Allowing manifestation


 Clarifying your vision

 Everyone knows what excites them more than anything else. Knowing what gives you the ultimate excitement is the cornerstone of creating the reality that you prefer. Your vision is how you see yourself in the future, living the life that you prefer and doing the things that excite you the most. Your vision guides your life and gives you the direction necessary to chart your way through life. A good vision is a fundamental necessity to attaining a meaningful and fulfilling life. Without a clearly defined vision, there is no direction. A good vision will help you to stay excited and focused. It will help you to keep your priorities right so you won’t be side tracked.


Identifying your beliefs and definitions

Once you have clarified your vision, the next step is to identify your core beliefs that might hinder you from creating the reality that you want. Your beliefs form a filter of expectations that determine how you perceive your reality. Beliefs are thereby an integral element of the creation and design of your reality. Your beliefs continuously influence your perception of the world and your perception of the world is an act of interpreting your reality.

The reality that you experience is the product of your beliefs. It is a reflection of what you expect to perceive in accordance with your beliefs. There is no universal reality then, only what you define it to be through your beliefs. Consequently, by changing your beliefs, you change your reality. By “changing” you reassign the energy that influences the beliefs you are currently utilizing.

Your beliefs must not contradict your vision. Your vision cannot be that you want to become wealthy while on the other you have a deep-seated belief that money is the root of all evil.


Taking inspired action

Having a clear vision and eliminating the beliefs that do not serve you is not enough. You need to perform some form of action in order to attain your preferred reality. Not all actions will move you towards your vision, but inspired action will. Inspired action is acting on the things that excite you the most.


Allowing manifestation

 Finally, once you have started taking inspired action, paradoxically, you need to allow for manifestation. Allowing for change is sitting back and watching your vision unfold right in front of your eyes.
