194: Hal Elrod and the Miracle Equation!

I have a question for you. Did you make any significant New Year's resolutions or set some serious 2020 goals for yourself this year? I bet when you set those goals, you likely felt a lot of energy: "This time I'm going to do it!". You felt like nothing was going to stop you. Now, four weeks into the year, are you losing steam on that goal? If so, why do you think that is? Personally, I think we humans have a series of set thermostats in our lives. We are set at a particular state of health, wealth and happiness. In order to reset any of our thermostats requires considerable effort. Self-help book enthusiasts swear by visualization techniques like putting up photos of things you want in order to let them creep into your subconscious. Positive affirmations have the same intent. The idea is to reset those thermostats. These kinds of rituals create constant reminders to your subconscious of a new reality you are trying to create. Any significant goal requires a lot of energy and effort. If you don't fundamentally believe something is possible, it's hard to put in consistent effort. If you change any one of these thermostats, you will change your life. I truly believe that and I wish I understood that when I was much younger. If you buy into this idea that you can fundamentally change your life by changing your mindset, and you wish to do so, you are not going to want to miss this week's interview with best selling author, Hal Elrod.
