The virtual study group has started, at boisse.org, for select members to participate and receive a complimentary copy of Free Mind Free Body in e-book format. (164 pg. PDF, saves you ~ $19.95, although the benefits may be priceless!)

I’m promoting inspiration with a circular reward system. That is, I’m encouraging participants to read with an open mind to create personal growth and share how Free Mind Free Body influenced them in a positive way. Then… you see… in turn, I feel great when I hear my readers’ feedback — as my aim is engaging our common senses, right? :-)   (register here for the study group)

Automatic Positive Thinking

The world in which we live (our Reality Bubble) is largely influenced by our thoughts. And, of course, negative thoughts are limiting and usually cause us to feel bad. If we use positive thinking as a general strategy, yes we can feel better and achieve more. 

Now, ask yourself, “Who am I?” What is the answer to that question…? The beliefs you have about your identity, and the labels applied to your “self,” greatly influence your attitude. Be sure to have empowering thoughts associated with your self-image.

In my book Free Mind Free Body I discuss limiting self labels and how they can be changed to have more personal freedom. The benefits of thinking positive are understood; but, how you think of your “self” is extremely important. It’s best to think optimistically about your capabilities while realizing you have great potential. This better prepares you for taking new action to accomplish a lot more.

It may not be that easy to have favorable thoughts all of the time. The key is to be mindful of your thinking patterns: listen inside once in a while to make sure your outlook is good. For example, if today you think of yourself as a champion, and then tomorrow you simply believe you can’t achieve anything new — that’s when you stop and fix the negative thinking! Be consistent with your thoughts and give yourself a good chance. You may not have achieved all of your goals right now, but tomorrow is on the way — be persistent.

Every morning, from now on, remember to tell yourself something nice and inspiring before you begin each day — start your automatic positive thinking!

Shut Me Up!

Be quiet. Please…. Sometimes we just want to turn off our inner voice, right? Especially when resting and unwinding from a busy day; or when you want to release your creativity and talents. Silencing your mind promotes relaxation and clear focus.

A still mind is an adept, resourceful mind. The two-way communication bridge between the conscious and unconscious opens up and knowledge flows best when you’re quiet inside. This results in maximum focus and creativity for the highest performance of a given task, skill, or talent.

However, throughout our day we could be saying negative things to ourself; or the inner voice, often called the “conscience,” may interrupt us when we do something that violates our values or beliefs. These disruptions can create bad feelings, cause hesitation and unnecessary distractions. Saying positive things and acting in accordance with your conscience can help keep the mind quiet when it’s time to settle down.

Peace of mind is within reach. Quieting your internal dialogue is a learned ability that is beneficial to your health and well-being. In Free Mind Free Body readers are shown how to quiet their minds to further develop their silent abilities.

Listening To My Inner Voice

Not the voice you hear while reading; but, the voice in your head that may tell you what to do and not to do, the voice you use to guide your decisions — can sometimes go unheard. As being open-minded and hearing what others have to say helps us develop knowledge and better perspective for improved relations — the same goes for listening to our “inner” voice!

At times we may be too distracted or tense and forget to give our inner voice the attention it deserves. As with any failure to communicate effectively, a contradiction can occur. And, a conflict within is one we ought to strive to avoid.

Now, listen in a little more and hear from yourself… and be comfortable acting in accordance with your values and sound judgement. Your inner voice is a resource that may remind you of important things, and it’s a powerful instrument you can further develop.

In your own way, you can easily discover things about yourself that may have been overlooked. I dedicated a chapter to internal dialogue in my book, Free Mind Free Body, to illustrate the many ways in which your voice can empower you. What’s your inner voice going to say right when you act after here?

Tune Up Your Mind

Your unconscious mind is always present helping you live life to the fullest. It’s behind the scenes controlling and coordinating everything for you, as it runs your mind’s software. When you begin to learn something new, say a dance move or a karate technique, you will be consciously aware of the many chunks of new knowledge and skill you’re acquiring (you may feel clumsy at first while practicing).

These learnings are stored in your mind’s library and upgraded at the level of your knowledge and training. Afterward, when the need arises for a skill or behavior, your mind retrieves that program and you perform the task unconsciously: dancing gracefully and defending yourself with a karate move. Quality instruction and better techniques provide for the best performance.

Did you ever stop and wonder where your behaviors come from? How are they stored and activated? Who’s doing the programming… it’s supposed to be you! Does a bad habit simply arise from an unconscious trigger? Can you get involved and interrupt one of your programs to change and improve how you feel about something? Can you get better results from your actions? Yes! Reading Free Mind Free Body shows you how to access your unconscious to tune up your mind — and live life on a different note!
