"How am I going to live today in order to create the tomorrow I'm committed to?"
~Tony Robbins
This IS the question, isn't it? When you are really committed to create some particular outcome in your life, you need to DO something today to make it happen. This sometimes involves taking action. It sometimes means changing the way you are living. If you are really committed, you will be willing to make these life changes. This is "where the rubber meets the road." Your outcome is connected to the way you choose to live today.
This week: Think about the outcome you are committed to achieving. What outcome do you really want? Think about what life changes you will need to make to create that outcome. If the goal is a great relationship, how will you need to act TODAY in order to create it? If the outcome is living healthy, what lifestyle changes do you need to make TODAY in order to make that outcome real? List all the things you are willing to do TODAY to create the outcome you are committed to achieving. Choose ONE and DO IT!

"Worry is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained."
~Arthur Somers Roche
When we are worried, we are focused on the wrong thing. Usually we are focused on the outcome we DON'T want to have happen. We focus on these negative "what ifs" and help create that outcome by giving so much attention to it. Our brains try to find us more of the things we think about. If you are thinking about something, even if you don't want it to happen, your brain helps create it for you. When you have more and more worry, you create neural pathways for it. Eventually it impacts your other thoughts and turns you into "worrier" and you overflow your river banks with negative thinking.
This week: Ask yourself, "How much worrying do I do?" Keep track of all the things you worry about for a full day. Write them down. Now assess them carefully. Are they really things you need to worry about, or are you wasting your time and energy worrying about things that are a) unimportant or b) not likely to happen. If you discover you have a problem with excessive worry, get some help with it. There are many techniques and experts who can help you stem your stream of worry so that it no longer overflows into all areas of your life.

"Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds."
~Franklin D. Roosevelt
It is not our fate or life circumstances that limit us. We are limited more by what we think and believe. When we believe we are less than we could be, we limit our success and keep ourselves from living the life we could be living. When you change your beliefs, you change your destiny.
This week: Examine your beliefs. What do you believe about yourself or your circumstances that keep you stuck? What would you need to believe in order to empower yourself? Challenge those limiting beliefs. Are they really true? Or have you just distorted events so that you can continue to believe them? While you might feel safer limiting yourself, you won't be living the life you were really intended to live. Write down the beliefs that need to change. What empowering beliefs would serve you better? Write them down. Ask for help changing them if needed.
"Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself."
~Leo Tolstoy
Many of us want to change the world, or at least change those around us. What we often fail to realize is that when we look to ourselves and begin to change, those around us begin to change in response to the differences in us.
This week: Change one small thing about yourself. Change an attitude; change your response to someone; react differently than you usually do. Do that for at least one full day. Now notice how others change in response to the changes in us. Consider making those changes permanent and enjoy the impact that has on those around us. Imagine how the world would change if everyone changed one small thing...

"Every man dies. Not every man really lives."
~William Wallace
At some point or another, we will all die. It is an inevitable part of life. But we can choose how to live. We can live fully and meaningfully, or we can drift through life until it ends. To live a meaningful life allows you to make a difference in your life and those around you. If you are not sure what your life's purpose is, you can create it.
This week: Think about the mark you would like to leave on the world. How would you like to be remembered after you die? Write a eulogy about how you want to be remembered. Now begin to take a step toward creating that sort of life. Reach out to others. Make your life count.

"Look at life through the windshield, not the rear-view mirror."
~Byrd Baggett
Too many times we are focused on things that happened to us in the past. It is as if we are looking at life through the rear-view mirror. When you focus on the past, you remain stuck in the past. If you want to get unstuck and move ahead toward your goals, you need to look where you are going. Focusing on where you want to go helps you create the circumstances that carry you toward your goal.
This week: Imagine you are taking a trip someplace you have always wanted to go. Now, imagine as you move toward that destination, you are looking behind you. Imagine taking this trip totally focused on where you have been. Can you even get to your destination when you are focused in another direction? Now, imagine aiming for a place right in front of you. Move toward it. Look in the direction you want to go, not in the direction you have already been. Now imagine how much easier it will be to reach your GOALS if you focus on what is ahead of you, rather than what has happened in the past.

"If you want to test your memory, try to recall what you were worrying about one year ago today."
~E. Joseph Cossman
This is so true. We expend lots of energy worrying about things that never come true. Anxiety happens when you are focused on the outcome you DON'T want to see happen. When you are focused on those "what ifs" or "catastrophes in waiting," you don't allow yourself to enjoy the present moment. When you are focused on all those things you are worried about, you miss out on the opportunity to CREATE the outcome you would really like!
This week: Take one of the things you are worried about--a specific thing--and imagine that it has been resolved. Allow yourself to imagine yourself going out into the future 24 hours after the successful resolution of the thing you are worried about. Now notice what happens to the anxiety or worry. If you have followed the instructions for this, it should be gone.
