Meditation Inspiring You to Achieve Your Dream

Meditation Inspiring You to Achieve Your Dream

Some people are motivated to move towards their vision. It inspires them enough that they willingly work towards it. However, other people don’t make changes unless they’re pushed and prodded by the discomfort they feel from the lack of their dream. If you tend to coast, and refuse to change until the last minute, this meditation may help you to make that leap sooner.

Sparks of InsightThere is a law in physics that says, “A body at rest tends to stay at rest. A body in motion tends to stay in motion.” If you want to make changes in your life, inertia is one thing you’ll need to overcome. It’s all too easy to just hope that changes will happen if you simply think about them. But the truth is that you have to be willing to put some energy into them. What changes do you want? And how important are they to you? Are you ready to get into motion so your actions bring the changes you want?

Are you paying attention to your goals and vision, or are you focused on fear and obstacles? There’s a saying, “Energy flows where attention goes.” It’s a psychological truth. Where you put your attention drives the actions you take. So you either avoid risk because you focus on fear, or you expand your comfort zone because your attention is on the possibilities. The Law of Attraction doesn’t care which you focus on. It will simply give you what is in your field of vision. So pay attention what you pay attention to.

Worry is a useless waste of energy. Most of what you worry about never happens. And worry drains you of energy and resources. It keeps you from being able to build something better for yourself. The only time that worry can help is when it urges you to make arrangements and avoid the issue. Otherwise, it can actually attract difficulties. When you’re worried, imagine Universal Good in the middle of the situation. It will be the truth.

Book Review-“Learned Optimism: How to Change Your Mind and Your Life”

Book Review-“Learned Optimism: How to Change Your Mind and Your Life”

Learned Optimism: How to Change Your Mind and Your Life
by Martin Seligman, Ph.D.

Wow! This is another book that I recommend to my clients, participants in my classes, and practically anyone who’s ever experienced depression, pessimism, or difficulty in achieving their dreams. Based on over twenty years worth of research, Dr. Seligman shows how optimism combats depression, improves health, enhances success, and much more. Not a rah-rah book for being positive, it covers the questions about his research and how he came to his conclusions.

There are exercises to test whether you’re optimistic or not, and how depressed you might be. A thought always precedes an emotion, and Dr. Seligman found that pervasive negative thoughts always preceded a person’s depression. He describes how some people “learn” to be helpless, and then don’t try, even when they are assured of success. If you’re a parent, teacher, or have a child in your life, the author explains how children become pessimistic and how it affects their lives. He even addresses the conditions when realistic thinking, not optimism, is best in the situation.

Best of all, this book gives instructions on how to change your thinking from pessimistic to optimistic. You simply have to learn how to change the way you explain the situations of your life to yourself. In other words, change your internal dialogue.

It’s an engrossing and entertaining read, considering that it covers much of his research. But it also gives case histories of people who have changed their lives. I can’t recommend this book highly enough.
