How To Conquer Mediocrity
A few years ago it finally dawned on me – affirmations just don’t work. For the most part, they’re a waste of your and my time.
When I last made an affirmation, it went something like this - ‘I am wealthy’ or ‘I have unlimited energy,’ and it didn’t do me a speck of good. First of all, the ‘I am, or ‘I have’ part wasn’t true. And because it wasn’t true, I didn’t believe it. As a result I felt even worse.
Then, I suddenly realized I had powerful affirmations already. Ones I wasn’t aware of, because they’d become such a seamless part of who I was.
My affirmations were actually every thought I think and every word I speak. My self-talk, my internal dialogue, is a stream of affirmations.
Put a different way - My HIDDEN expectations are creating my future.
And then came an even bigger newsflash. My hidden expectations were definitely NOT lining up with my wants. No amount of fake affirmations would change that.
So I wondered.
How do I rid myself of hidden expectations I’ve picked up eons ago, often unwillingly from influences surrounding me? What to do with those random worries popping up and distracting me from what I really want to do. Why did it seem like those random doubts really weren’t so random. That they appeared like clockwork when their powerful status was being challenged.
And there was my answer. Pay attention and observe those unwelcome affirmations. If you turn a blind eye, they remain in control. By watching them they’ll disappear like magic. Very simple, and yet – not so easily accomplished.
Unless you tune out those unwelcome thoughts with music.
I melt those old cobwebs every day. The easy way. As I’m writing this I’m listening to a grand piece of music fit to take even skeptical minds into a state of creative joy. The music inspires a relaxed discipline, the kind that’s effortless and rewarding.
You see, real discipline only comes when you’re relaxed. Strange, but true.
Which pieces of music can reign in your wayward thoughts without much effort? Which melodies and rhythms release those magical endorphins and empty your mind of cobwebs? The answer to that question is revealed in January’s Sounds of Gold Newsletter.
Escape from the world of illusions and dreams. Give your heart and mind something to smile about.
Warm Regards,
Tania Gabrielle French
