Reminder of how to live life...

Stop drifting. You're not going to re-read your Brief Comments, your Deeds of the Ancient Greeks and Romans, the commonplace books you saved for your old age. Sprint for the finish. Write off your hopes, and if your well-being matters to you, be your own savior while you can.

-Marcus Aurelius (Translation by Gregory Hays)

Do not try to create good karma.

- Don't do things in order to get something
- Do things because you want to do them
- Be the change you want to see in the world - Gandhi
- Love others how you want to be loved always without any attachment or expectation
- Be your true self and show others the light in this dark world
- Be one of the cool people ;)

1. "Don't do things in order to get something."

I used to do this alot and I would always negotiate with people when they'd ask for favors like if I do this you owe me this blah blah. This may have started because if I had asked for a favor someone would do the same thing to me and way back in the day I was heavily influenced by others and didn't carry many morals or core values. It's very empowering if you just do something because you want to help that person. I personally love helping others in any way I can and now I don't expect anything in return. Talk about a good way to create good Karma BUT I don't try to. It's just a part of me now. Take those steps to becoming a great person and help someone out today or at least one person this week. I try to do one good deed a day and I encourage you to do the same as well.

2. "Do things because you want to do them."

Don't do things in order to get something. Do things only if you want to do them. Don't do something someone asks you to do if you don't want to do it. That's just stupid. Unfortuanly in the work environment if you boss asks you to do something you can't really say no. BUT if they TELL you to do something then of course you can. No one can tell you what to do and always remember that.

3."Be the change you want to see in the world." - Gandhi

You get what you give. Don't ever take anything unless you've rightfully earned it on your own time and you've put the effort towards getting that something. It's ok to be selfish but do not sabotage anybody else's success for your own. Unless you are a cold son of a bitch. Whether you believe this or not.. you will always get what you give. If you want respect you give respect when people earn it ALWAYS. If you do not want to be judged then never judge someone ever. If you want to be loved always love 24/7 365 days out of the year. I know some of this is hard for people because of certain issues that have developed because of past experiences but this can all change if you just think about this quote and be what you want everyone else to be. SET THE EXAMPLE. That's what I do and I just want to encourage you to do it to. If you want to change your life for the better.. this is a great start. :) Don't waste your time thinking about hating someone or being envious of someone else. You aren't doing yourself any good it's the worst way you could possibly waste your time. Go play a video game or paint your nails instead!



4. "Love others how you want to be loved always without any attachment or expectation."

This is very much related to Gandhi's quote. But what stands out about this quotation is "without any attachment or expectation." This means again do not do things in order to get something. Have some faith and know everythings going to be fine. If you want to help an old lady cross the street do it because you want to. If you want to help a girl wash her car or move her furniture do it.. out of the goodness of your heart.  But if you do not want to do it, DON'T DO IT. If you like that girl over there at the bar you can always take your time to work your way over to her and strike up a conversation. Just enjoy her company for who she is without expecting anything in return. And only do it if you want to do it. I'm sure you get the idea. This is the start of creating miracles in your life. That's right, miracles.

5. "Be your true self and show others the light in this dark world."

Simply smile and say Hello to everyone you make eye contact with. Again if this is the change you want to see in the world. ;) And most importantly be honest with yourself and others 100% of the time. Lieing will get you no where in life. Some people will disagree but they probably don't have much love in their life anyways. It's unfortunate.



6. "Be one of the cool people. ;)"

Did you read that? good. :)

I'd like to close this out with one of my favorite quotes:

"Live true to your deepest integrity of love, offering your entire life as love, opening moment by moment, without protecting your heart in traps of safety. This freedom is the ultimate discipline, my friend." - David Deida

Quote #1

"Anxiety dissolves in the presence of giving so live to give and you'll live courageously forever!" - Brent Smith

Monday, April 30, 2012

Anxiety is a pain in the a$$!

I hear ya. And, as a previous chronic sufferer of anxiety here's what I have to say about it:

Anxiety is no fun but you can get rid of it. Depending on how bad your anxiety is whatever it may be whether it's dealing with relationships or stress related to your job and other activities, it can take time to totally annihilate this horrible burden. We all change at our own pace but if you get started focusing on this issue now you can fix the issue sooner rather than later.

** Feel free to skip the next paragraph if you know what causes your anxiety or what many forms of anxiety can be caused by. **

Anxiety is related to a lot of things that you can figure out for yourself (google) but one thing that causes it is wanting to get something or a specific outcome out of something else or someone. This is a bad way of thinking. Another phrase for anxiety is "being anxious". You can come of up with a great idea and then start thinking about the future and how great your idea or invention will be to the world and how much money you will make. Also anxiety can be caused by thinking about the past and events that have happened in the past like maybe a horrible break up or you losing your job. I hope you understand a little now that thinking too far ahead in the future or thinking back into the past can cause anxiety. When you think about the past most people don't think about the good things and dwell on the bad things which is also a bad way of thinking. Or when people get anxious about their new idea and what the future holds for it.. they began taking huge steps and can overwhelm themselves in turn causing more anxiety and stress (more on this some other time). On some level one way or another we have all done this in the past.

For me, my anxiety was caused by this irrational thinking process I had about how I was not good enough or just good enough to get by with all things in life such as women, work related activities, even my own hobbies. Also from past experiences with certain family members by putting too much expectation on me then getting angry at me and me not having the strength to stand up to them and tell them how it is. I can blame myself for this too because I actually felt like I had to lie which may have also had a big part in building up this anxiety in my chest where my tension was mostly kept (tension and anxiety builds up all over the body and in specific places depending on the person).

Now, I feel like the main cause of anxiety is the fear of not getting something.

The best way I have found to cure anxiety is to be in the present moment. Meaning.. you aren't really thinking about anything except admiring the beauty of the here and now. This is a very foreign concept to many but everyone has the capability of enjoying the now. This is pure bliss ladies and gentlemen. The key to this is to hold on to nothing but enjoy and love everything. In the third paragraph I may have gone off on a tangent but being in the moment allows you to do what you feel you need to do now. If you are hungry you will go eat.. if you want to be outside you will be outside.. if you want to open that new business you take the necessary first steps (baby steps) to making that business a reality. You do what needs to be done now. And what is great about it.. by being in the moment you are not worried about what happened to you in the past nor how things will end up in the future. Again this is a foreign concept for many and does not come easy but this in turn will cure what ever anxiety you have hanging over your shoulders. For the record I still experience very mild anxiety here and there. I myself am only half of what the title is of this site but I strive for the best and want to make people happy. I enjoy people and everything now as much as I know how I can while doing everything I can to be in the moment, doing what I want to do, what I need to do now.. with no regrets.

I have some suggestions for helping you take those first steps to getting rid of your anxiety forever.

- Affirmations
- Pranayama
- Meditation
- Subliminals

I myself have used all of these. Some are techniques and some are products (Subliminals). I highly recommend using them all in conjunction with each other to achieve efficient and ideal results.

I personally started using affirmations and they did a fantastic job but for some unknown reason I may have been wording them in the wrong way and I really felt like my issues were not being taken care of from the core. I heard about subliminals and how they help you change your beliefs and essentially reprogram your thinking and annihilate the old ways of thinking. It's up to you to decide how you want to help yourself but I just want you to know that you can. If you do have anxiety issues please be honest with yourself. Change is an amazing thing! Take advantage of the opportunities in front of you and just go for it.

Here's a cool video I watched the other day that talks more about giving and is basically connected to the present and what is now.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoPlx-t6F1M

Brent is a great guy and knows what he is talking about because he is a professional life style coach. Feel free look at his youtube channel.

I also want to recommend a book which is absolutely a must READ! So you can understand what living in the moment is and how you can cure yourself of anxiety and bascially unhappiness/depression (if this is an issue).
The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle

Stress is a huge part of anxiety and I will like to talk more about that in a later post. For now, I truly hope you got something out of this post and I helped you along your life transformation journey. I had tons of fun writing this so now I'm going to celebrate with a nice cold beer. :)

Peace!

I am so grateful for the Alpha Male 6 stage set!

You may be wondering what the hell I am talking about. But remember what I said in my last post about www.subliminal-talk.com ? Yea.. I don't remember either but you should know this website is the greatest website in the world. Here's why: Subliminals work and I use them and have been for almost 2 years now. I want to dedicate this post to my testimonial I posted on the forum over at Subliminal-Talk. Without further ado... here is my Alpha Male 2010 six stage set testimonial:

Before starting alpha I had a couple of problems with my self image and those have been cleared up because I’ve finally accepted who I am and I’m incredibly unique. That’s why I think some people look up to me and enjoy being around me.

Now adays I enjoy spending some quality alone time with myself and thoughts.. most thoughts anyways. Before If I was alone and just surfing the internet with nothing to do.. no homework or anything.. I would just try to be with people but for the wrong reasons. Sometimes I wouldn’t consider other people’s time and what they did with it. I was a distraction for my friends but they were also a distraction to me when I needed time alone. It was a cycle between us but now I can be comfortable doing the things I need to do alone and not be concerned about missing out on anything. What was I missing out on before anyways? Absolutely nothing. It’s hard to believe it took me so long to realize this.

I also had a lot of trouble letting things go in the past. Negative people seemed to be a huge part of my life but I had a decent balance of positive people as well. However it was harder to stick around with them because I used to bring people down. These days I’m more optimistic.. and sometimes negative but usually catch myself and just say whatever and let it go. I like to linger in the positive and really experience it whatever it may be whether it’s a conversation, a joke, or shared smile between one person and another.

I used to be the one seeking approval but now everyone seeks my approval and I usually give it to them… if they truly deserve it. I’m just a nice compassionate guy like that. I want to make people feel good about themselves and help out when I can.. if they deserve it. One thing I don’t like now is when I speak up if someone isn’t listening to me or they speak over me.. I will call them out on it or I will immediately stop talking and look away and close off from a group (if more than one person has ignored me) This has been getting me more respect as well as apologies. If it’s an important topic I’d like to discuss and I’m not acknowledged I leave the group physically and mentally. So there is a good balance here thanks to alpha.

I won’t lie though… back in the day I’ve been called an ass hole and a meanie seriously and not as a joke. Nowadays… I’m still an ass hole and a meanie but it’s actually balanced out with realness. I can recognize people’s emotions quicker and connect with them faster so I can calibrate the situation and how I can contribute to the interaction and or help that person and not bring them down.

I used to laugh at my own jokes in order to get others to laugh… I don’t not so much anymore. I try to a little so I don’t sound completely full of it.. but sometimes I just let things go as soon as I say them and that’s why I don’t laugh and others usually laugh. This is very real in fact because I’m not one to make jokes. If someone laughs at something I said which happens a few times a day it’s just because they found truly funny. With that said I only laugh at things I actually find funny and If I believe a joke is funny that I’ve planned in that moment for that situation then I will chuckle abit. But at least I’m not tricking myself anymore.

Self control of emotions and movements has improved significantly. My choice of words and my sentence structure has improved quite nicely. I speak louder and slower… sometimes I might not make sense because sometimes I speak like Yoda. Which I think is badass and different. Smile But most importantly I don’t really feel like I bottle up my emotions anymore because I have the ability to let things go. I may let something affect me for a few seconds but afterwards BAM it’s gone. When I was going through stages 3 and 4 I had lots of resistance and things like somethings would bother me a good bit but I was able to let go of them within a few minutes. That in itself was a vast improvement from a year ago when I’d let things get to me for a day or two after the happening. Now it’s just like.. yea that’s what it is. I accept everything for what it is now and my indifference did something towards the end. Before I cared to much… going through the program I had some expectations and analyzed a lot of things. Now I just see things for what they are and they don’t effect me anymore so maybe that’s where the indifference comes from. I realize now finally that it’s true for me and I don’t have to pretend to not care or care anymore.

I’m much more comfortable around women. Stage 6 just completely transformed me in that department because it just annihilated my anxiety. Earlier on I would bottle it up and not feel it out but as I got through stages 5 and 6 the anxiety was so little there wasn’t much to feel out anymore but I began to finally accept that it was there and just could finally relax on it. After I did that everything was ok.

My confidence is up. I’m happy about that. People tease me a lot these days.. just as much as in the past but now it’s for different reasons. I think anyways. People are either envious of me or they are trying make themselves feel better about themselves. Back in the day it was probably just to get on my nerves and also make themselves feel good but nowadays it’s either out of envy or them trying to make themselves feel better. I am not affected by anyone’s lame ass remarks anymore. For this reason I don’t try to tease people anymore. I know girls LOVE it if it’s done the right way… but I’ve always had diffuclty in this department verbally. I sure as hell can tease them with my body language and facial expressions though.

Speaking of body language, it has improved tremendously. I have great posture. Not all the time.. such as sitting down but I’m consistently staying conscious of it. When I stand up and walk around it looks like I own the joint. I of course never think that way because that’s just very egotistical.. my swag is legit and a true part of me now.

Last but not least.. I accept everyone for who they are, their views, opinions, and morals. Sure sometimes I will get pissed off but there’s nothing I can do about it and I don’t need to let that show to others. More importantly, I accept and love myself. I mentioned that already didn’t I?

NOW, I will say a little about what I think needs to be improved. I believe leadership, decisiveness and assertiveness should be addressed directly and aggressively. I have already talked to Shannon about this. Also that thing about approaching women I find attractive and actually wanting and enjoy doing it did not happen to me. But since that was addressed I’m sure that is the main reason why I’m much more comfortable around beautiful women and my indifference skyrocketed. I don’t expect you, Shannon, to improve on this much more because this program should be more focused on making a man have a healthy view of himself, his potential, and over-all being happy. It shouldn’t focus on women at all. Maybe all that needs to be addressed is that things will happen naturally and an Alpha Male realizes this and is open to new relationships with all sorts of different people. What happens happens.. and he has fun doing it whatever he’s doing.

EDIT: I will add my procrastination has become less of a problem for me. I am more driven to get things done and on time with efficiency and quality whether it be at work or anything I do during the day. Everything I do, look at, or touch I do with passion in my eyes and full presence. That's where the drive comes from.

Shannon, if you have any questions about this testimonial or anything I haven’t mention I’d love to answer them.

Thanks so much, Shannon! You are truly a god among men.

Shannon is the creator of these life changing subliminals. I encourage you to check these out and read his process of how he makes them and the other testimonials located on the website. Also check out the forums. Alot of great people post there.
