Don’t Read this Post, It Might Change Your Life

February 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment


This post might change your life.  That sounds like a pretty big promise, don’t you think?  If you keep reading, you’ll see why.

Attention is everything when it comes to being creative.  When you focus your attention on your vision with purpose and power - all other versions of your life fall away.

  • Your obstacles fall away.
  • Your old mental programs fall away.
  • Your false beliefs fall away.
  • Your past conditioning falls away.
  • Your problems fall away.
  • Your debt falls away.
  • Your concerns fall away.
  • Your fears fall away.
  • Your worries fall away.
  • Your doubt falls away.

All of these preconditioned areas of your life fall away.  They dissolve into nothingness.  Why?

Because you don’t give them power.  You don’t soil the seeds of doubt, the seeds of worry, the seeds of fear or the seeds of concern.  You don’t put energy into these areas of your life.  The only way you can give something energy is by your attention.  Your attention is everything.

If you pay real good attention to your spouse, girlfriend or boyfriend, what happens?  You get more attention back.  It’s no mystery.  You can create that real synergy and excitement that comes from being in a loving and caring relationship.  You do it by your attention.

Why would it be any different in other areas?

3 Tips to Build Self-Confidence

February 19, 2009 | 1 Comment


Building self-confidence is an inside job.  To build a real solid foundation in your self-confidence you want to experience yourself in a way that is new or different from past experiences.

This isn’t always easy, but it is very simple.  You have to act.  I explained two ways to do this in my previous article: How to Build Self-Confidence.

Seeing I can’t work with each of you individually, I’ve got three super tips for building self-confidence.  If you take each exercise and act on them daily over the next 5 days - I guarantee you won’t even recognize yourself next week.  Your self-confidence will skyrocket.

3 Tips to Build Self-Confidence

Here are 3 tips to build your self-confidence:

1. Release Your Trigger

If you want to build self-confidence quickly, then look for a trigger; an emotional trigger.

What is a trigger?

A trigger is an area in your life where there is a lot of pain and discomfort.  When you resolve the pain or discomfort you have pulled the trigger.  And this resolution opens up a whole new world of expansion and growth.

I’ll be honest with you.  You have to be courageous to pull the trigger and resolve conflict, but when you do - you’ll get access to more power than you ever had before.  It’s the release of these triggers that helps you make the largest strides forward ….in the shortest period of time.

Self-Confidence

February 17, 2009 | 1 Comment


Self-confidence is the confidence in one’s abilities, skills and belief in one’s self.  Building self-confidence comes from having a new experience of yourself.  Each time you have a new experience, you are creating a new launching pad to take bigger and bigger actions; and reap greater results.

Self-Confidence

Self-confidence is rooted in our reference experiences. Anytime we have an experience that is new or different from one that we’ve had before, there is an opening to create a reference experience.  This new platform provides us with a launching pad to dive into greater and greater experiences.

Reference experience - a highly emotional experience we refer to validate new actions.

Anytime we create a new reference experience, we build our confidence globally in all areas of our life.  When one area expands, all areas expand. I’ve done this with writing, coaching and speaking.

Here’s how I created new Stepping Stones to Build Self-Confidence in my writing:

Ref Experience No. 1: Before I started writing this blog, I had no previous writing experience.  I wrote emails to friends and to co-workers, but that was about it.  I didn’t journal, I didn’t doodle, I didn’t write.  In high school my grades in English literature were subpar (70-79%).  Then something weird happened.

Ref Experience No. 2: I published an article in Confidence Bound Magazine.  That took me by surprise and it also created a new reference experience.  My confidence soared.  I wasn’t just an engineer anymore - I was published as an author in a magazine.

This new reference platform changed what I believe about myself.  It gave me a new platform to experience myself; a reference experience.  I started to think of what else I could do, not only in writing but in other areas of my life as well.  The gates of possibility began to open.

3 Steps to Uncover Your False Beliefs

January 26, 2009 | 3 Comments


This is the last of three videos on uncovering false beliefs. In this video we’ll go through a simple 3 step exercise to bring your unconscious blocks to the surface. Once you do this you can then re-evaluate them and decide who you really are.

Here are the three steps I’ll cover in the video:

3 Steps to Uncover False Beliefs:

  1. Identify the Area Not Working: this is an area that you are avoiding or resisting.
  2. Surface Blind Spot: Become clear on your reasons why you’re resisting this area of your life.
  3. Re-evaluate your Reasons: Are they justified? Are they built on a solid foundation?  What is the impact these reasons are having on your life?

Here’s the video:

How to Uncover Your False Beliefs

January 25, 2009 | 4 Comments


In my very first video post I talk about false beliefs.  In this case these are your mental blocks that hold you back.  These are the areas in your life that you don’t know that you don’t know.  Landmark Education spends a good portion of their education exploring this:  what you don’t know you don’t know.

In this video, I’m going to show you exactly what I mean by a false belief or what I like to call a “blind spot.”  Specifically, I’m going to give you an exercise to demonstrate what a blind spot really is.  The exercise was taken from The Holographic Universe ~ Michael Talbot

Here’s the 2nd video:

Text Instructions - Holographic Universe Exercise (in video):

To demonstrate how our brains construct what we perceive as reality, hold the illustration at eye level, close your left eye, and stare at the circle in the middle of the grid with your right eye.  Slowly move your head back and forth along the line of your vision until the star vanishes (about 10 - 15 inches).  The star disappears because it is falling on your blind spot.  Now close your right eye and stare at the star.  Move back and forth until the circle in the middle of the grid vanishes.  When it does, notice that although the circle disappears, all the lines of the grid remain intact.  This is because your brain is filling in what it thinks should be there. ~ Michael Talbot, The Holographic Universe

How to Visualize Intimacy

January 21, 2009 | 3 Comments


This exercise is so much fun.  It’s been over 2 years since I completed my NLP practitioner, but I’ve got to say that once you practice this visualization - it gets much easier.  Repetition is the mother of learning.

As I point out in the video, it’s easy for me to pull up images of loved ones in a snap - and you can too - if you practice visualizing them through your own eyes.

If you have any questions, you know what to do - speak your mind!

Personal Growth Series: 3 of 5

December 23, 2008 | 5 Comments


Let’s skip a few years and get to the really good stuff.  In 2005 I officially started my personal growth journey and later in 2006 I participated in the Landmark Forum.  At the time I was completely frustrated with my career and needed a change.  I changed alright, but it didn’t happen the way I expected.

2005, Career Change Inevitable

In was 2005 and at that time I had been working as an engineer for about four years.  I wanted to leave the profession, but I felt stuck.  I kept thinking, “there has got to be more to life than this.”  I felt empty inside.  I didn’t feel like my life had any meaning.

You see, I went to school for 5 years.  Four years of academics plus one year of work experience during my undergraduate studies.  I felt guilty with the idea of leaving a profession where I spent so much time preparing and learning.  It seemed like a waste.  So instead of doing something about it, I remained idle and miserable.

At the time Trisha began to catch on.  She new something was up so we started talking.   I remember our conversation as clear as day.  Trisha and I were talking in the car on our drive up to Sudbury.

Trisha: “Steve, are you unhappy?  What seems to be the matter?”
Steve: “I hate working as a project manager and engineer.  There is something missing, something else I should be doing.”
Trisha: “Well, what do you want to do?”
Steve: “I don’t know.  Something else, not what I’m doing now.”

You see, I knew there was something else I should have been doing.  I just didn’t know what it was.

Being Powerful

September 13, 2007 | 2 Comments


My definition of being powerful is to say what I need to say whenever I need to say it.  By being fully present to what’s important to me and being fully self expressed I feel powerful.  This post covers my thoughts on being powerful.

This morning I sent our CEO an email thanking him for getting our management team together.  This is what I said,

Dennis,

I just wanted to say how great I think it is that you took the time to update us yesterday.  I believe it’s important for management (including mid level management) to understand Enwave’s direction and focus for the future.  Thanks for this.

I also think this exercise (of getting us together for feedback/updates) has been valuable for me because I have a better understanding of Enwave’s plans for the future.  Not only that but by being part of this meeting and providing you feedback I felt like I was part of the team.

Just my two cents but I think the very act of bringing us together as a team is very powerful and would benefit all considered if it were to happen more frequently.

My thoughts,

Steve
