Successful Goal Setting: Your Mindset

by

If you want to be successful with the goals you set, whether they are daily, weekly or yearly goals, there are things you need to do within yourself to make it possible to achieve them.

Believe in Yourself

There are those who make excuses for lack of achievement because they don’t have anyone who truly believes in them. Yes, it helps tremendously to have people by your side cheering you on an telling you “You can do it.”

The truth is only one person needs to believe in you, and that is you. You have within you the potential to achieve anything you want. You have to access that potential and drive within you. You have to continually tell yourself that you are competent and capable. You must remind yourself every day that you can learn the skills and gain the knowledge necessary for your success.

When you depend upon others to bolster you up you are giving your power away. Your power is within you. Use it.

Hold Your Goal in Mind Often

When you’re excited about an upcoming event don’t you think about it often? Don’t you “see it” in your mind’s eye many times throughout the day before you finally arrive there? Your excitement and anticipating in your mental image propels you forward to your appointed time.

Do the same for what you wish to achieve. Several times a day “see it” in your mind’s eye. Notice the people around you congratulating you upon your success. Get in touch with those feelings you’ll have when you have accomplished the end result. Every time a doubt weasels its way into your consciousness you bring forth the experience of success.

Evaluate Your Progress Daily

Know where you are on your timeline to success. At the beginning of each day note what you need to do to move yourself closer. This is the time of course correction. If you notice you’ve wandered off the path a bit, bring yourself back. If you do this every day you will easily keep track of your progress.

Surround Yourself with Positive Energy

There’s nothing more difficult when driving down a dirt road than having it muddy. The same is true for success. When the people surrounding you are naysayers, it’s difficult to stay in a positive mindset. Find people who have similar success goals as you do. It doesn’t have to be in the same field, but it needs to be in the same energy of excitement, determination and achievement. These are the people you share your excitement with.

Be Careful Who You Tell Your Dreams

Your dreams are sacred. They come from deep within you.It is natural to want to share them with those you share your life with. Unfortunately, those same people are ones who may tell you your dreams are ridiculous with no possibility of fulfillment.

Do not share your dreams with those who will stomp on them. Share them with those who know what it is like to desire more than you have now and to achieve it. Once a loved one makes a negative comment about your goal, you know that is someone who does not deserve your sharing in this area. Let them know only about those parts of your life they can handle.

When you live and experience your future achievements, daily follow the path to get there and surround yourself with those who are supportive, you will achieve success.

Daily Encodement Work for Success

When you realize you have negativity seeping into your dreams, do some basic encodement work.

  1. Ask for the removal of all encodements of negativity which come from outside of yourself.
  2. Ask for the repair of all damaged and altered natural encodements which resulted from this invasion of other people’s negativity.
  3. Ask for the removal of all artificial encodements which attract negativity.
  4. Ask for the repair and healing of all damaged and altered natural encodements which attract negativity.
  5. Ask for the removal of all-natural encodement’s which attract negativity.

You are capable of achieving and deserving of your dreams.

Goal Setting: How to Access Determination and Perseverance

by

I know you’ve heard of the necessity of determination and perseverance if you want to achieve your goals. You may begun your movement towards what you want with great determination, but it wavered after the second or third roadblock to success appeared. How do you tap into determination and perseverance? How do you even know you have it?

Let’s answer the second question first. You know you have it because you have already accomplished things in your life. Perhaps these accomplishments haven’t been applauded by others around you, but they are still accomplishments. The ones you take for granted are your abilities to care for your basic needs. Others are the things you do for fun. This could be playing sports, video games or other activities you had to learn.

Now, let me show you an easy way to activate determination and perseverance. In order to achieve your dream you need to know why you want it. You might think that it is self-evident as to why you want a new job, new car or a relationship.It’s not. If you gathered 10 people into a room with the same goal you would discover many reasons as to the “why”.

Some people desire the accomplishment so they can feel good about themselves. Others want to prove something to parents, family, friends even teachers. For some there is the deep need for safety and security. Still others have an inner drive to have the resources to help others less fortunate than themselves.

It doesn’t matter what the reason you want to achieve a particular goal. It does matter that you know the real reason. Discovering the reason is a simple process of asking the same question repeatedly to each answer you receive.

Let me give you an example. Let’s say your goal is to have another source of income. To drill down into the real reason of why you want more income ask yourself the question, “Why do I want this?”

Your answer might be, “So I can get a new house.” Ask again,”Why do I want this?”

This time your answer might be, “I need space. Where I am now is too crowded.”

Your next response might be, “I want my family to be happy.”

You keep asking the same question until you don’t have a new answer. When that happens you have arrived at the real reason you want to achieve your goal.

Now that you know the real reason, you will be able to tap into the emotions which drive you. This is where you form an image of what life would be like when you have your new house. You would see your family all together enjoying themselves. You would be able to feel the feeling that you have knowing that you were able to provide this for them.

You are now reaching for more than a new source of income. You are moving toward that inner feeling you have associated with the real reason you want your goal. This is what you tap into when you hit those roadblocks which will come. You now know your true motivation and this will provide you the determination and perseverance you need to find the answer to move beyond your roadblocks.

Of course, Amma has some tools you can use to assist you at this point. This is where you use encodements to clear out any energetic blocks and strengthened the energy necessary to achieve your goal.

Once you get to the real “why” of why you set that goal you do a further evaluation. Is there any fear or anxiety connected to  achieving the goal? Do you have a tendency to be afraid that you won’t accomplish what you want to? Are there some consequences to achieving the goal which might make life more difficult for you?

The encodement process is straightforward. I’m going to give you a template based upon one example.

Let’s say you have difficulty keeping your eye on the goal and instead think about what would happen if you did not achieve the goal. Here are the steps:

  • Call in your encodement technicians
  • Ask them to remove any and all artificial encodements contributing to your fear
  • Ask them to repair any damaged and altered natural encodements contributing to your fear
  • Asked them to remove all the encodements of fear
  • Now insert a belief. Let’s make this belief, “I move forward quickly and easily to the accomplishment of my goals.”
  • Ask for the encodement technicians to assist
  • Ask them to use the plug-in to install new beliefs. They know exactly what that is even if you don’t.

Keep your eye on your goal. Stay in touch with the feeling that you will have when you accomplish your goal. Use that feeling to keep you motivated in the correct direction. Repeat encodement work as necessary.

Many many blessings to you–Cathy

 

Goal Setting: Your Morning Message

by

If you were to look outside right now, at 6:45 in the morning, you would think it was the dead of night. By looking a little deeper into the night sky you would discover there is a hint of light coming over the mountains. This little hint of light is the dawn getting ready to come into the world for another day.

When I awakened this morning it was so dark I thought it was the middle of the night. I could feel the quiet whispers within my heart telling me to look out the window a little further into the sky. That is when I saw that the dawn was beginning to break and it was only dark because it was the middle of winter.

There were other whispers in my heart as I began to greet the day. One of these was a smile I could feel coming from Amma whom I’m connected to so closely. The message was clear, “You are loved. You are valuable. All is perfect.”

I also had brief images of what would be good for me to do this day. One was an affirmation of a book I have been reading, “The Grain Brain”. This was a behest to continue the dietary changes I had begun several months ago. I must admit that I have been feeling better since these changes, clearer and calmer, my mind being quieter. I’m getting to where I don’t miss what had been some of my favorite foods.

Another was a scene of me exercising. You have to realize that exercise is one of my least favorite activities, but I feel and inner urging to move my body more. What I “saw” was me in the exercise room here at the place I live. I know I could also go out walking, either taking the dogs or walking alone in the Red Rocks.

The next thing I “see” is me continuing the writing I have begun. I have several projects going at the same time. One is writing material for others like myself who want to do the healing necessary to be at their best and healthiest weight. The other is my first attempt at fiction, a series of suspense novels. The third is the spiritual writing that I am doing now.

There are other little whispers within me. They are peaceful, supportive and totally accepting of who I am and what I am doing. They are also an answer to the goals I have for myself this year.

I may have books and articles published, have given workshops in the United States, Europe and Japan, work with clients in the same continents as I’ve given workshops, but I am no different than anyone else upon this planet.

Yes, I have done things that some people marvel at, but I am still no different than you.

You also can hear the whispers that come when you awaken in the morning if you only choose to listen. You too can write and publish if only you set your plan and follow it until you are complete… And then begin again. You too can reach your goals if you make that choice to follow only those impulses which move you towards that which you desire.

True, you have different gifts and talents. You will need assistance in different ways than I have. No matter what it is you set as a goal in your life it takes the same determination and perseverance that every person has to reach inside of themselves to activate.

The choice is yours.

Once you make that choice you will find there are things which get in your way. This is where you do one of three things:

  • You see yourself completing that goal. You feel the feelings of your success.
  • You ask yourself if the action you are considering will move you toward your goal or away from it.
  • You make a new decision to achieve your goal.
  • You reach inside and activate determination and persistence
  • You implement the healing tools you know to remove any fears you have about achieving your goal.

Your dreams are supported by those beyond the veil who love you. Sometimes it is difficult to believe you have support. Know that this is an area of healing for you to work on.

Be blessed — Cathy

Why Goals Aren’t Achieved: People Fail Because They Don’t Think They Can Succeed

by

I wanted to share these thoughts with you about goal setting. Before I get into the tools to use that Amma has given us, let me make a few comments.

When people engage in goal setting whether or not they succeed depends upon their underlying belief. Compared to the number of people who engage in setting a direction in their life few people actually achieve their goal.

Why is this?

I’m going to give you two different answers based upon two different perspectives of physics. I bet you didn’t expect this topic have anything to do with physics.

Isaac Newton’s first law of motion is: An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless something stronger intervenes and forces a change. (By the way, that is a slight paraphrase of the way Newton stated it.)

When you apply this to your behavior it means that when you are going in one direction you’re going to keep going there unless something stronger moves you in another direction. If you’re determined to make it to Denver the only thing that will keep you from getting there will be something you cannot overcome. This could be illness on your part, a severe accident, or Denver on complete lockdown due to weather or some other natural calamity.

When you have your mindset on reaching a particular goal, and there is nothing physical in they way of your accomplishment, what will stop you is your own inertia. When you say, “Yes, this is where I’m going now,” you have to exert an internal force greater than the way you were already moving. This internal force is your own drive and determination.

Now we come to the area of physics which is in physical. It is energetic and, therefore, more in the realm of quantum physics as well as the physiology of your brain.

Each time you perform a certain action, this could be physical movement, thought or feeling, your energy field responds as well as your brain. Your brain begins to form tracings within it that develop a path. when you get near that path your brain automatically assumes that’s the road you’re going to take and moves you along quickly without you having to think about it.

In addition, you form an energy field consisting of that particular pattern.

When you’re changing directions in your life you have to overcome the previous energy field you had created, the neuronet you formed for your past behaviors as well as the movement you had already established.

For most people, one of the patterns formed is lack of success. They’ve attempted certain goals and have fallen short. They create both an energy of not being able to accomplish what they set out to do as well as a belief that they won’t succeed.

In order to change this pattern you need to do the following:

  • push through that feeling which sabotages the persistence needed to achieve
  • be continually aware of the previous patterns of lack of success formed and consciously establish new ones
  • form a detailed image including sites, sounds, smells, tastes and feelings of your new vision for yourself
  • re-create this image several times a day
  • evaluate whether or not each action moves you towards or away from your vision

The reasons for lack of success can be complex. Do the necessary healing work needed to remove any blocks or non-supportive beliefs. Know that you have it within you to achieve what ever it is you are determined to do as long as you access that determination.

For healing, do the necessary encodement work. If you’re not familiar with encodemets  go to Amma’s web site and read the material there. Do this encodement work whenever you feel the blocks to success which includes wanting to give up.

You learned to walk, drive a car, write a bicycle or any other task you do by being persistent and determined. That persistence and determination is within you even if you haven’t used it in a while. Access it and move toward success.
