The Power of Letting Go Part II – A Follow up on The Sedona Method Test

Photo Credit

For those of you who are just finding this, you can find part I of The Power of Letting Go Here.

In my initial test, my requirement was that I use the Sedona Method throughout my day and then just before going to sleep at night. These are my results.

I found that during the first week, I was consciously using the Sedona Method often. Using it in most situations, or often while I was working. Soon after the 5th or 6th day though, I found that I started forgetting most of the day and eventually settled into a rhythm where I used the releasing process at least 3 times in a day and once before bed. This was a conscious effort though, as I would often forget until I was either a) upset or b) thinking about my goals and what is holding me back.

I released on several of my goals as well as my general mood when I noticed it turning sour. I have to say this much is certain: Releasing definitely gives you a better feeling in the now and if you were to continually do it, you can, and I did experience this, move from a very upset/sad/down mood to a relaxed and ready mood. I can’t say that I always moved from down to up, but the Sedona Method helped me quickly reach a middle ground where I could direct my thought toward things I appreciated and/or things I am excited to work toward.

Whether or not the real world changes I’ve experienced this month can be attributed to the Sedona Method could be argued for ages. Some would say that because I released, I let go of resistance to these things coming into my life, and that’s why they are there. Some might say that because I let go, I attracted this into my life. Some might suggest that these things just happened and my releasing didn’t affect the outcome one way or another. And yet others might argue that releasing just changed my mood, and if it had no other effect, at least it made things easier/smoother/happier. Whatever the case, here is an update to the things I mentioned in Part I.

I wrote the script for my fat loss MP3 but have yet to record it, my focus has shifted elsewhere for a time and the project has been put on a very very temporary hold.

I got another Acting job for some commercials this time, totally out of the blue, and confirmed my job on another professional short film this summer, so things moved forward very well in that area of my life.

I still have yet to hire my Virtual Assistant, but have gotten a chance to do some research and I should be ready within the next 30-60 days.

Several of my New Years Resolutions have come very quickly. First, I am back with my gym and am ready to get back in and focus on weight training, instead of just the body weight exercises I do at home. Further, my goal was to start Karate and Arnis Lessons by June 5, and I have been at it 3 weeks now, and will soon be filming a DVD for the class.

We have had several people look at our house, but it has not sold yet. (maybe I need to do more releasing?)

With that said, I have experienced many changes mentally recently. I have begun reading The Stoic Art of Living: Inner Resilience and Outer Results and am excited to explore Stoicism more deeply.

Further, I feel very focused, calm and ready to move forward to the next stage of my life. For this alone, I will continue releasing throughout my days and continue experimenting with the Sedona Method over the coming months. I hope that I can at least attribute a calmer, more centered, and happy attitude to this as I continue to utilize this powerful tool.

My results in nutshell – Things have been amazing the past few weeks, and while I can’t say they are necessarily completely attributable to The Sedona Method, I can say that it has helped me stay calmer, happier, and more focused, more ready each day.

Inspiring Will Smith Video – No Wonder He is So Amazingly Successful!

Here is an absolutely amazing Will Smith Video cut together from a bunch of his interviews on TV and from a few movies. What he says about success and achieving your dreams is spot on. Don’t be afraid to go get what you want, just know your goal, and work your ass of to get it. Don’t let people discourage you, if you want it, take the attitude that it’s already done, and now you’re just working your ass off to get there and show everybody that you were right.

This is a great video to visit if you start feeling discouraged. Keep your head up and remember, it’s already done, you just gotta work your butt off to get there and show everybody.

And never be worried about “dying on the treadmill.” Don’t be afraid to commit 100% to your goal and run full out faster, harder and longer than the other guy. The work will pay off.

What’s your Secret?

What you see is What you…Think???

The Level of our Success is only Limited by our Imagination – Aesop

Everything you See is the Result of Your Thoughts, There is no exception to This Fact – A Course in Miracles

Quotes similar to these have been said by wise women and men throughout history, so what does it mean?

What you focus on you get.

That which you think, so shall you be.

Like attracts like.

It means that your thoughts can actually create your life.  Whether in a metaphysical sense, or a purely psychological sense, what you think opens or closes opportunity for you.  What you focus on can open doors and show you synchronicities that you may otherwise not have had available to you, and if you’re a believer in the law of attraction, what you think, your thoughts and feelings can even help to determine what people are around you in traffic and how they react.

So if your thoughts creat your life, what can you do to improve life?

Focus on things that truly bring you joy.  Not things that you think are supposed to make you happy, or things that kind of make you happy, but things (people, places and events) that actually bring a smile to your face or offer you some feeling of relief.

For me personally, I think of the people I love, my kids and family, I focus on playing with them, talking to them or just hanging out.  I also focus on my car, because I love my car.  It has been one of my dream cars for over 9 years, and I finally got it, and I drive it every day, if for no other reason than to go down the block and be in my car.  These are things that truly bring me joy.

What kinds of things bring you joy?  Focus on these things, not the problems with them, but the things you love about them.  Even if you think it’s all baloney, you will be in a much happier state for the time being, and isn’t happiness what we all crave so much?

If you really need a pep up, try to slip away to a private place, even if it’s just a public restroom, and take a few breaths and think about things that make you happy.

How can this change your life?

Well, happy and successful people tend to hang out with happy and successful people.  They all focus on things they love and enjoy, and do similar things.  Focusing on the negatives will only get you more negative people and experiences in life.  We all have bad things happen to us, it’s how you react that makes you who you are.

So try focusing more on things you love and less on things you don’t.  Do more things that are fun and less that aren’t.  It seems like simple advice, but if you walk into any office building, you will see that it’s much needed.

What you think shapes your life, your mood, and your focus.  Think Good thoughts, and focus on things  you want more of.  You will have more of them.

I hope this finds you well,

A Simple Question Can go a Long Way

Yesterday was Gratitude Day!!!!

So I’ve added the Appreciation Exercise to my daily routine.  It’s been very refreshing to wake up and spend just a couple minutes appreciating the things I have and the things that I have experienced.  I’ve also been spending the minimum 5 minutes per night just finding things to appreciate, and that has been a great way to settle down before I meditate and go to bed.

Because I’ve been starting my days out with gratitude and appreciation, I’ve been trying to find things throughout the day that ring the bell of appreciation as well.  I figure that if I can start the day that way and end it that way, I might as well be able to throw in a few random moments of appreciation too.

I have noticed that when I’m in a grumpy mood, it’s sometimes hard to appreciate.  It’s especially hard to appreciate the “negatives” I’m focusing on.  So I’ve found that if I can’t find appreciation or gratitude, a simple question to myself has worked wonders.

When I can’t find the feeling of appreciation or gratitude in any moment, I just ask, “What would it feel like I just appreciated _________?”
This question get’s your mind working and starts to set you in line with some better feeling thoughts.  It will literally start to line you up with the feeling of appreciation.  This question alone will start to attract to you more things to appreciate, more positive aspects of whatever it is you’re looking at.

This question has started to transform my outlook on the things I’m not appreciating, since generally when I’m in a bad mood, I’m just focusing on negatives.  When I really start to look, when I really try, I can appreciate most of the things that set me into a negative spiral.

I appreciate that you’re reading this and I hope it finds you well.
