Enlightenment & the Fulfilment of Your Highest Purpose.
My photo of this cornflower greeting the sun. M'reen
Enlightenment & the Fulfilment of Highest Purpose. Julie Griffin,
Are you the type of person who gets through life or who gets into
life?
When you wake up in the morning do feel excited about the day
ahead
or do you want to hide under your covers?
Do you know what you want to accomplish?
Do you know how to accomplish your goals?
Do you know how to accomplish your goals?
Why am I asking you these questions?
It is my way to get you to examine your thoughts and actions
and to help you to identify your strengths and weaknesses.
This questioning process is utilized to place you inside your own
internal channel,
the channel that will lead you to your own truth, the truth that
can free and empower you.
Why is this questioning process useful?
I have noticed in my private practice as a clinical hypnotist
that often the clients who are not thriving
are the clients who have not taken the time to identify their
goals and highest purpose.
These clients are simply getting through life instead of living
life.
Conversely, the people who have a clear picture of where they want to go,
what they want to accomplish, and how best to accomplish their
goals
are the clients that are the most successful, the happiest, and
the healthiest.
In order to identify your highest purpose in life and to begin the
process of its fulfilment,
you may choose to ask yourself the following questions.
You could draw a circle with 3 or more segments and fill in how
much of that goal
you are achieving & how much it would be reasonable for you to
achieve in therapy or business
and how much you would like to achieve. ) ) )
List your three most important goals.
If you could be, do, have, or become absolutely anything, what
would you do?
Are there any creative processes you wish to be better at?
Are there any mental or academic processes you wish to perform
better in?
Are there any functions of your work life you wish to be more
competent at?
Do you have any physical conditions which are currently limiting
you in any way?
Do you eat the kind of food that creates health and energy in your
body?
Do you meditate or pray often?
Do you stop to examine how much you have to be thankful for?
Do you take time to notice all the beauty in the world around
you?
Do you exercise regularly?
Do you set goals and evaluate your progress and behavior
periodically?
Do you give yourself pep talks?
Are you aware of any obstacles standing in the way of your
success?
Do you regularly take steps towards achieving your goals?
My reasons for suggesting that you ask yourself these questions
are three-fold.
First, it gets you to stop and examine your life and to identify
your strengths and weaknesses. The second reason is that it suggests things
that you might do to improve your life
and your health.
The last reason for doing this questionnaire is because you can
use the answers as a guideline as to what you should think about, visualize,
and do to get on course toward your total fulfilment.
Once you have done the conscious soul-searching necessary to
answer the questions
you can spend time in a relaxed state visualizing your life how
you want it to be.
Steps that
will help you to do this follow:
Imagine that your entire body and mind are relaxing.
Feel your mind and spirit soar into a higher plane of awareness as
your body relaxes.
Picture your life as it is now and become consciously aware of any
obstacles
that are standing in the way of your obtaining your own
perfection.
Use your imagination to see and feel yourself moving the obstacles
out of the way
and creating a clear path to your ultimate goal.
Picture yourself making the important changes in your life that
will create your success.
Picture your final outcome as though it has already been achieved.
Fill in all the details of what it will look and feel like to be
totally happy, healthy, fulfilled,
and successful.
Imagine that your mind and spirit are rejoining your physical body
in a highly energized
and powerful way.
Return to your "real" life with the knowledge that you
have the power and energy
necessary to make changes in your life and to achieve your own
highest purpose.
While this procedure may sound complicated, it is not.
It's simply a matter of relaxing your body and focusing on what
you want to achieve.
A very simple version of it can be achieved in seconds merely by
focusing your mind
and visualizing what you want.
The more this process is repeated the more energy (life) you will
be giving to it
and the more likely you will be to create it.
If you desire to supercharge your visualization session you may
choose to record
some of the suggestions below in your own voice (or use your own
suggestions),
and play them while you are in the relaxed and focused state:
" Now that I am in this higher plane of awareness I can
clearly identify any obstacles
standing in the way of my success. I feel myself gaining power and
courage
to move the obstacles out of my way. I see myself feeling happier
and healthier with each step
I take toward my fulfilment. I am becoming more positive about my
success
and more excited about my life. I now have the thoughts, deeds,
and actions, of a happy, healthy, and fulfilled person. I consistently think
clearly and act in my own best interest
and in the best interest of mankind. I always know when to act and
when to wait.
I communicate with those around me perfectly and lovingly. I notice the beauty in nature
I communicate with those around me perfectly and lovingly. I notice the beauty in nature
and it nourishes me. I turn every situation into a situation that
is productive.
I operate inside the flow of the universe knowing that as I do so
and as I operate toward
the good of mankind that the universe will provide me with
everything I need for support.
I am now on a fruitful, prosperous course. Each day I gain
momentum towards achieving
my goals. Each day my levels of health, happiness, peace, and
success increase.
All my capacities are comfortably expanding. I feel myself turning
on my own power
and creativity. I consistently treat myself in a loving and
respectful manner.
There is a glowing light radiating from my heart.
This light heals and protects me. Each day I fall more in love
with the world around me
as I fall more in love with myself.........etc."
So What
About Enlightenment? What Is It? Where Do You Find It?
There are many ways to define enlightenment. A few definitions
follow:
'A blessed state marked by the absence of suffering.
An ability to see internally and externally with total clarity.
knowledge, illumination
or awareness of spiritual insight.'
When I think of the term enlightenment, the thoughts which come to
my mind are those of love, peace, inner harmony, respect, and freedom. I am
aware that as I operate in a manner
That is in keeping with the manifestation of my highest purpose I
will become increasingly enlightened. So to me, the fulfillment of my highest
purpose and the achievement
of enlightenment go hand-in-hand.
One state creates the other - they are not separate. I have come
to realize weakness
occurs in me only when I am operating in a way that is
inconsistent to the fulfilment
of my highest purpose-when I am feeling separate from mankind,
separate from the flow
of the universe. I am aware that every day I must choose to
forgive, to accept, and to share love and knowledge if I wish to achieve
enlightenment and be 'in the flow'.
I have found that as I give these gifts freely to myself and
others that miracles occur.
So I invite you to step inside the flow of the universe, to find
yourself there thriving,
pleasuring in your own strength, bathing the beauty of the world
around you.
Once you find yourself inside the flow you will never feel alone
and you will receive all the insight, love, and energy
that you need.

These 7 tips can help you back off and be even more productive.
I chose this photo from my collection because however you
are travelling along a canal
you have to go at your optimum pace for your purpose. M'reen
These 7 tips can
help you back off and be even more productive.
Bruna Martinuzzi
If your brain is always working overtime to make it
through your never-ending to-do list,
it may be time to give it a rest.
Do you ever feel overwhelmed just thinking about all you
have to do?
Do you find yourself snapping at others who seem to be
too laid back?
Have you given up too many things that you used to enjoy
because you're too focused on work?
You may be a victim of mental fatigue.
Mental fatigue is the result of brain over-activity. It
can happen when you expend too much mental effort on a project or task. You may
pride yourself on your laser-focusing ability, spending long hours on a task,
day in and day out. But every strength, taken to the extreme, becomes a
liability.
Your overdrive eventually catches up with you, and you
deplete your mental gas tank.
The result is mental fatigue.
Research shows that mental fatigue results in an
inability to concentrate
and an increase in simple mistakes.
Unchecked, mental fatigue leads to feeling stressed,
irritated that you can't keep up
and even depressed. What's more, being in a state of
mental fatigue not only affects your well-being, it also spills over into your
interactions with family and others you associate with.
It's draining for them to be around someone who is
continuously mentally exhausted.
If you think you may be mentally fatigued, here are seven
tips to help you prevent and combat it.
1. Stop Low-Yield
Activities
Be ruthless about how you spend your time. Instead of
mindlessly moving from one task to the next, focus on activities that grow your
business. Stop burning away hours reading Facebook updates
or answering useless emails. Instead, keep those
activities for a scheduled, timed break,
then move away to something more worthwhile. Don't meet
with acquaintances who want to get together for coffee—these are often people
who have time to waste and want to waste it with you.
Use the time you've saved to learn new things, and pursue
activities that increase your well-being and the quality of your life. Focus on
strengthening your bonds with family, friends and associates. Do what fuels
your mind and fills your heart. If you rescue wasted time consistently
over the course of a year, you'll be richer for it and
will feel more energized.
2. Use the Timebox
Technique
Timebox is a term that originated in the software
development industry.
It's defined as a period of time during which a task must
be accomplished.
Entrepreneurs like Steve Pavlina use
timeboxing as a way to manage work projects.
Because timeboxing forces you to limit the time you allot
to certain tasks that run the risk
of taking far more time
than they're worth, it counteracts any perfectionist
approaches
to the wrong tasks and ensures that you do the best job
you can within a set time frame.
3. Try Focus@Will
Focus@Will is
a music service that's based on the latest research in neuroscience.
The selected music helps you focus, reduce distractions
and retain information.
As the company behind this intersection of art and
science explains,
most people can only concentrate for about 100 continuous
minutes:
"The focus@will system makes it easier for you to
get into the concentration flow, and then keeps you there. It works in the
background by subtly soothing the part of your brain, the limbic system,
that's
always on the lookout for danger, food, sex or shiny things."
By staying
focused, you can get more done in a shorter amount of time, so you can free
up more time and reduce your chances of mental fatigue. Entrepreneur Sean
Ogle described the program
as "magic." You can try it out for free for 30
days and see what happens.
4. Be Kind to Your
Eyes
Staring at a computer for long
hours while you work causes eye fatigue, which can tire you out and
negatively affect your ability to focus. Fortunately, there are many things you
can do to avoid this. For example, every once in a while, look away from your
computer screen and focus on distant objects or take a minute to stare out the
window. Also, lower the brightness of your monitor—research shows that when you
lower the brightness, the reduction in your ability to focus
drops by half and you feel less fatigued.
Check out "How to Combat Eye Fatigue Right Now" for other
ideas.
If you have employees, also consider the computer workstations advice published
by the Occupational Health and Safety Administration.
5. Don Your Sneakers
to fatigue. According to the study, "These findings
could lead to the enhancement
of athletic performance through reduced mental
and physical fatigue."
What works for athletes can also work for you.
6. Learn to Do
Nothing Once in a While
We're a nation of doers—continuously on the go, rushing
from meeting to meeting,
project to project. Even when we're on vacation, a large
number among us spends more time
surfing the Internet rather than surfing the
waves.
John Lennon once said, "Everybody seems to think I'm
lazy. I don't mind, I think they're crazy. Running everywhere at such a speed,
till they find there's no need.”
Planning for a little idleness in your week is a smart
move if you're trying to refresh your spirit
—it's a powerful antidote to mental
fatigue.
7. Reduce Your
Sleep Debt
Sleep debt is the difference between the amount of sleep
you should be getting
and the amount you actually get. It's not uncommon for professionals to
miss
several hours of sleep for a few days in a row. This is a sure-fire way to invite mental
fatigue.
Research shows, on average, Americans lose one hour of
sleep each night—more than two full weeks of slumber every year. This has a
negative impact on our health. As the research shows, you can't train yourself
to be a "short sleeper." What's more, a study found that the more tired
you get, the less tired you feel, which makes you think you're not shorting
yourself.
It's time to earn back your lost sleep: Make it a
practice to go to bed when you're tired
and give your body the rest it needs so you can stop
mental fatigue in its tracks.
"The energy of the mind is the essence of
life," Aristotle said. Energy is everything. Mental fatigue saps us of our
most precious life energy. These seven strategies will help you guard against
this.

Regarding No. 6, as a self employed person it is useful to book an appointment for Mr Potter
for some pottering around time.
I recently went to a meeting of therapists and everyone
there said that
they needed to give or were recently giving more time and care to
themselves.

What’s the Real Return on Optimism? A Survey
What’s the Real Return on Optimism? A Survey
Jan Moran
Well, color me
happy!
As a writer and entrepreneur, I’ve often witnessed the
power of optimism in business.
An optimistic attitude instils confidence in business
partners,
from clients to employees to investors.
To determine the
real return on optimism, simply flip the switch:
Consider the damage that an oppressive workplace can do.
What would that do to your business partners? Your
employees?
Optimism: As Simple As
Answering the Phone with a Smile
An optimistic attitude creates a cheerful working environment,
making it a joy rather than a drudge to go to work.
If you’re in the business of customer service, and
really, who isn’t? — then a joyful interaction
is not only a rare thing of beauty, but it might also
make the difference
between your client happily signing on the dotted line
again — or not.
In my last business, I asked everyone to answer the phone
with a smile.
Some thought I was a little nuts, but try it for yourself
— you can actually hear a smile
over the phone. Soon, callers began saying things like,
“It’s always such a joy to speak to you folks. You’re like an oasis in my day.
I look forward to calling your company.”
Music to my ears.
Optimism Sets the Stage for
Successful Resolutions
That meant that when callers were transferred to me,
I had a client or vendor in a good mood on the line.
What a difference! Even if there was a problem to
resolve,
the optimistic attitude set the stage for a successful
resolution.
Optimism began to
creep through the company in small ways.
The receptionist took ownership and created her own
joyful answer:
“It’s a beautiful day at Scentsa, how can we help you?”
Surprise and delight became the order of the day.
Optimism Drives Creativity
Ever try to be creative with a dark cloud over your head?
Pretty tough, huh? Negativity kills creativity.
Our most creative days were when optimism ruled.
Often, when management or investors dictate change and a
negative person is forced into the mix, creativity suffers. Then sales suffer.
Clients get cranky. It’s a slippery slope.
Keep optimism
high.
Now, my best days of writing begin with a sunny attitude.
My expectation is that it’s going to be a great day. So what
happens on my worst days? You guessed it. They started the way they ended. The
page bleeds red ink. Might as well have stayed in bed.
Optimism is Money in the Bank
Even if optimism isn’t exactly money in
the bank, at the very least it primes the financial spigot.
One thing is certain, if you’re trying to create a
product, build a company, or turn one around,
you won’t do it nearly as well with a negative attitude.
In business school, I remember the case study of Fred
Smith, the founder of FedEx.
With his optimistic attitude, Smith inspired such
dedication to the cause
that when the going got tough, his employees made
personal sacrifices
to keep the company afloat — sacrifices which were later
well-rewarded with success.
Optimism is a Can-Do Attitude
It might sound a little old-fashioned, but you’ll never
accomplish your goal without the belief
that you can do it. Plant seeds of
happiness and cultivate your attitude like a garden.
Create a plan, work that plan, adjust and seize
opportunities that arise, but above all
be sure to add a dose of cheerful optimism. Plus, you’ll
enjoy the ride a whole lot more.
That’s why I’m such a big fan of Richard Branson, Mr.
Optimism.
You gotta have a dream.
Optimism Escaping You?
Can’t summon the sunshine? Let’s be realistic: If
you just can’t seem to summon an optimistic mindset, you might be suffering
from depression. Maybe you need to seek help. That’s okay.
My heart goes out to the family of actor Robin Williams;
he is missed by so, so many,
but his death put a spotlight on this often crippling
condition.
It you’re suffering, reach out for help.
What’s Your Return
on Optimism Investment? Measure It!
So how might you calculate this seemingly elusive return
on optimism?
Glad you asked! Here’s a quick, fun survey to calculate your return on
optimism.
Follow the link, take a quick 10-question survey, and
discover your score.
Plus, you’ll gain some valuable insights. (Don’t
worry, it’s totally free, no gimmicks.)
Then, come back and share your score and insights.
Post it in the comments — and think about what you could
change in your life,
or in your business, to improve it?
Your actions might be drastic — maybe you’ll decide to
fire a client.
Or you might try something small, like smiling when you
answer the phone.
Or get up a little earlier and grab 20 to 30 minutes of
exercise, or meditation or prayer,
before the day revs up.
Think about it…
And how would that change your life?
