VISION - An interview with the 'Vision' expert, John Assaraf!

Have you ever had a destination that you went to on a regular basis. Many of us have had 'jobs' where we have had to drive to the same location over and over again. Sometimes we arrive at our destination and wonder how in the world we got there. We do not remember the majority of the journey, but we still arrived there. In fact, when a road is often traveled, it will develop 'tracks' where the colour of the road is darker or there is a dip where everyone's tires run. Just like vehicle on a roadway, our thoughts travel on pathways in our brain to and from destinations. These are called neuro-pathways. When we learn something new, we form a new pathway. As we do something over and over those pathways become well traveled and our thoughts follow them automatically. When you move your finger or your arm, you do not have to think about how to do it because you have done it so many times - your brains already knows where the signals need to go to make it happen. Interestingly enough, our thought patterns work the same way. And sometimes we get 'stuck' in a way of thinking that really does not get us to where we want to go. In fact 98% of what we think is subconscious - our brains are on auto - pilot. So what do we do when we consciously want to achieve something (go somewhere) and we cannot seem to get there? What would you do if when you were on a road trip in your car and there was a roadblock? You would take a different route, right? Well the same is true with our brains. In fact science has proven that we can retrain our brains! (Really? Yes - Really!) Wouldn't you like to know HOW we can do that? I mean if we can retrain our brains - doesn't that mean that ANYTHING could be possible in our businesses and our lives? Join us this week as I interview John Assaraf (of The Secret) on our weekly radio show. John Assaraf is an expert on retraining our brains! Her will teach us HOW we can get past the roadblocks that we experience sub consciously. We will be focusing on how to retrain our brains and the role that Vision Boards play in this process!

Bubble gum before 7 am can make your day a little brighter!

People have often asked me how I can jump out of bed and race to work every day. It is because I have these great little rituals that I do that make me smile! Most days I get up by 5:00 a.m and get ready, have a scrambled egg and pour coffee into my favorite pink coffee thermos and jump into my 'Roaring Van' and head to the office. I am in the office and firing up the computer by 6:20 a.m. at the latest. My little routine revolves around my cute pink thermos. I love it. It makes me feel pretty and successful. I usually only have one coffee a day, but it is always from my pink thermos! It is my morning comfort. All the way to work I go to that special place in my mind where I have created my destination. I re-create my living space, my office, my day and even add a limousine arriving at my door to pick me up. In other words, I spend 20 minutes creating my future - visually. That alone puts me in a great mood. When I arrive at the office, I am usually the first one here. I like coming in first because I get to set the tone for my day before anyone else gets here. I unlock the door, hang up my coat and head straight to the bubble gum machine I have on my desk! Then I decide which colour of double bubble I want that day and then with a look over my shoulder to make sure no one sees, I CHEAT and open the top of the machine and take the colour I want for the day. Then I dive into my work blowing bubbles and tapping my foot to the music on K-lite FM that I have streaming in on my computer and listen to Peter Jaycock's morning show! This whole routing makes me feel like a kid again! I have used my favorite cup, and gone out in the dark! Then I dared to sneak a bubble gum - all before 7 am! These goofy rituals brings some silly excitement to my day!
HOW CAN MY DAY GET ANY BETTER?
Success begins on the inside - just like happiness does.
