Since graduating with my doctorate in 2007, I have been on a journey to understand why certain people are successful and others are not. This journey has led me to interesting truths some of which I already knew and others I had never considered before. One truth that has become the bedrock to my own transformation, and hopefully that of my clients, is understanding the power of having the right mindset. Whether you're aware of it or not, your mindset, formed by your childhood and current experiences, powerfully shapes your thought patterns and your behaviors, which as you know, will ultimately shape your life.
As I read books, listened to literally hours of audio recordings, webinars and teleconferences, as well as being a conference addict, one thing became abundantly clear. Success, of any form, is strongly dependent upon your mindset. In simpler terms, your beliefs, values, character and habits will either create and manifest success in your life or do just the opposite and bring failures. This fascinated me as another truth emerged from this journey. Successful people have very different beliefs, values, habits AND conversations than the average person when it comes to creating the type of life they want, internally and externally. You know this, but do you understand or have true wisdom about this truth. Knowing and understanding are two different things. From my perspective, knowing is having a good grasp of information or facts. Yet, understanding is having a deep inner truth or wisdom that brings peace or abundance.
I’m excited about what is happening within BraveHeart and Ellie and Dr. Sugar’s passion about helping women globally raise their prosperity hormone. We can all use more money right about now. I’m in full agreement and looking forward to seeing what women will do when they/we are full and release ourselves to change the world. Yet, I also hope that as they deliver powerful truths regarding prosperity and take us on this amazing journey, that we will honor their teachings by preparing ourselves mentally, emotionally, spiritually and behaviorally for this next shift taking place.
BraveHeart sisters, if your mindset is based on external prosperity, research says that the likelihood of maintaining it, whatever “it” is, is pretty slim. Want proof? Look at those who received or won a great deal of money and you’ll see that within a few years and sometimes even months, they are back in the same financial position they were in before the money arrived. Why? Their wealth or prosperity mindset had not been fully developed.
It is my hope that we as women and sisters will take full advantage of what we are learning and receiving from this amazing community.
Preparing Your Mindset for Prosperity:
I am forever telling my clients that their subconscious mind has more power in their life than their conscious mind. That said, the first step in preparing your mindset for prosperity is evaluating what your subconscious mind is thinking. How? For one week, write done every thought you have about wealth, money, prosperity and abundance. At the end of the week, evaluate whether it is negative or positive. If negative, then inundate yourself with positive truths, cds, affirmations, books, etc on the topic or better yet, find a good therapist or coach to help you break down those hindering thoughts. Research says it takes 14-21 days to create or change a habit, but only if you are consistent…that’s the key ~ consistency.
As strange as this may sound, get rid of all clutter. Make room, whether internally or externally for wealth and prosperity. How I did this was by meeting with my CPA and finally getting all my accounts in order. Learned something interesting from this task. By not keeping accurate track of my finances, I didn’t realize that I had more wealth than I thought but poor money habits had me spending money on things that didn’t show my wealth. One of my mentors encouraged me to see how long I could hold $100 without spending it. What a challenge!! I learned that if I didn’t have the available money, I probably didn’t need it. Lesson learned!
Define and then visualize wealth! If you can define wealth, then you can visualize it. We all know how powerful visualizations are and how they work. Enough said.
My new truth about money is ~ money is energy! Never thought about money that way. What you put out, comes back. Are you sending out money for the right reasons? Many of us use money to fulfill an emotional need, which may explain why women seem to always be broke. It is time to learn a healthier way to meet our emotional needs.
And finally,
Remember that wealth and prosperity is your birthright and within your physical being.
I encourage you to participate in the Prosperity Hormone calls, change your mindset and get ready for a new way of thinking, be-ing and living.
To your HIGHEST prosperity and success,
Anita
