What station are you “tuned” into?

What if there are “realities” and things you want to experience that you cannot see, you cannot tap into, because of the “station” you’re tuned into?

I was just reflecting on this as I drove one of our sons to drop a car at the local Meineke this morning, then shared it in our morning coffee chat with a fellow dad, and finally created a little video about it.

Now I thought you might enjoy reflecting on this, too!

In short, we’re all “tuned into” certain beliefs and patterns of thinking and self-talk — often unconsciously — that create a kind of filter that only allow us to “see” things that reinforce our beliefs or match our pattern.

Hence, in a sense, what we believe — what we’re constantly thinking, talking about, and saying to ourselves — becomes our “reality”, and nothing else “exists” for us.

I had a mini experience of this recently when Rachelle drove off unknowingly with my sunglasses and I wanted to take a bike ride.  As my eyes were still feeling sensitive to the pollen in the air, I was bummed at first, wondering what to do.

Then I just “accepted” the situation and decided I was going to bike anyway and enjoy the ride.

As soon as I relaxed, an idea came to me — why not use one of the clear “glasses” that we have for protecting our eyes when using power tools?

Now just a moment before, those glasses didn’t “exist” for me — they didn’t exist in my reality, and I couldn’t “access” them.

But as soon as I relaxed my own reaction to the situation, all of a sudden I was able to “tune into” another channel, and get another idea — and in a sense, “manifest” something out of thin air!

Now you may be saying those glasses were already there — but for me they weren’t, until that moment that I became aware of them.

How about for you?

What might be “already there” around you that you can’t yet “see”, because of certain beliefs, reactions, or self-talk — and what if you were to relax a moment — release your current thinking, beliefs, or patterns — and make room for something new, for a new idea, a new possibility, even a new way of being?

What might you discover?

Have fun pausing and playing with this idea.

Yours in wellbeing,

Ben

How To Create Your Future — “Future Letter” Exercise

Are you seeking to create another level of excellence, achievement, business growth, or other “results” in the coming year?

Here’s an intriguing exercise I discovered in the Zanders’ book The Art of Possibility that I applied to the business arena — and the experience was very profound and personal. It’s a whole new way to look at goal-setting for the coming year, and can complement the more “traditional” methods, bringing your whole being, and who you want to become, into play.

Those I’ve shared this “future letter” exercise with have found it inspired them to write their own letter. So now I’m sharing this intriguing exercise with you.

Enjoy creating your own future, and who you’re choosing to become this year, and feel free to share your own experiences, results, or a link to your own video in the comments below.

I look forward to hearing from you!

How To Leverage The Unseen To Create What You Want With More Ease

So as we’re beginning a new year and resetting our goals and
commitments for the year, here’s a thought from Dr. William
Tiller that can greatly increase our leverage and effectiveness
in turning our actions into desired results:

The unseen is always the parent of the seen.

What does this mean?

How many times have you felt the weight of having to do all
the work to create your goals — and felt the big “gap”
between where you are now, and where you want to be?

What if you could leverage a dynamic power source — kind of
like riding a wave — so that your action still mattered, but
now your action was simply cooperating with something greater
that was already set in motion on your behalf?

This is the power of recognizing the connection between our
mental picture, our internal state, and our actions.

One of my key mentors over the years, Jerry Clark, has shared
that our goals and timeframes are for our conscious mind, but
our subconscious mind exists outside of time. The clearer the
picture we impress upon our subconscious mind, the more people,
ideas, resources, even “vehicles” show up in our lives that
can support us in realizing that picture.

Of course, this means we’re also acting and taking steps to
move forward each day, but now rather than our action doing
all the “heavy lifting” from scratch to “make something happen”,
now our action is lighter, easier, and even more fun — because
it’s cooperating with and even “reaping” what’s already been
set in motion in the “unseen.”

Too far out?

How about experimenting with this beginning today — rather than
rushing into action, take some moments to listen, imagine, and
create in the unseen — perhaps with music, out in nature,
with your journal, or simply in quiet contemplation when you
awake, as you fall asleep, or during a break during the day.

This is how my wife Rachelle and I have created the life
we’re living and enjoying today, and we’re still learning
and growing in the process.

Next pay attention to what shows up as you take the steps you
can take to move forward today.

Enjoy, and feel free to share your own experiences in the
