Something I learned from Tony Robbins, video to follow….
“Your destiny is not about what you get, it is about who you become.” Tony Robbins
This post is inspired by Anthony Robbins, thanks for a great week Tony!
I talk a lot about the power of our words and what they can do to your life or for your life. Affirmations are a huge part of my life and the way that I control my thoughts. Well sometimes it is not only the words that can get you out of a very negative state, it is the physiology of your body, what you are focused on and the meanings that you give to what happens to you. Let me explain.
Physiology is the physical movement of your body, and when you take and move your body you can actually control even further the way that you feel. Combine that with positive words and giving proper meaning to life and you can make a radical shift in your entire state. Make sense??? I am sure not quite fully yet, so here is a description of what I mean and try it if you like:
Scenario: I am in a crappy mood because I just lost a sale and I feel like it is because the people who were buying do not like me, when in all actuality they really do like me but they just lost their job and they do not want to tell me.
Situation: Being in a bad mood leads me to be unproductive, which leads me to make no money and just leads me to feel like crap.
Solution: Instead of feeling like crap and leading myself down the path of whining and weakness and unproductivity, I decide to change my state.
1. Step 1: Jump up and down like a madman (or woman) till you can barely breathe, changing the entire physiology of your body.
2. Step 2: As you are jumping up and down start to scream affirmations over and over again. “I am a leader, I am the best at what I do, I can do anything, I am stepping up!!!” I am not talking about yelling, I am talking about screaming these out loud with a smile on your face.
3. Step 3: Think to yourself a new meaning of the situation, instead of, I have lost this sale because these people do not like me, change the thought to, “There has got to be something else going on that is not allowing these great people to buy from me. I am going to everything I can to help them in any way possible.”
You will be amazed at the transformation that will occur if you really take this seriously and follow these steps. Its physiology, words and meaning, this process will change your state, and therefore can change your life. Next time you see me driving down the road screaming, or jumping up and down, do not worry about me being crazy, I am just getting in the groove, changing my state! Try it, I guarantee you will like it.

You speak the truth Chad. As leaders, we have both the privileged and responsibility to inspire and empower others to abundance. I have been using these affirmations, fully involving both my physiology and emotion for a couple of years now. It makes a huge difference. Just this morning, they took me from low energy to joyful abundant energy. I am in a much better state now to empower others as I have a very full day of meetings. These incantations are a powerful addition to anybody’s morning ritual.
