We’ve looked at it through the 10 mind management techniques featured in the book, Changeability: Manage your mind - change your life. In episode 53 of the Changeability Podcast we take a quick romp through these 10 techniques – to remind you and give you a quick overview and to share snippets from some of the shows. Starting with this great quote – which sort of sums up the notion of change.   “If you don’t like how things are, change it! You’re not a tree.” Jim Rohn  Mind management The idea behind mind management is we can use our minds to help make changes or have more success. If left to their own devices, our conscious and particularly subconscious minds can sabotage our best intentions and efforts. <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;color:#222222;background:white">1. Vision setting. <span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:Arial;color:#222222;background:white">Get clear about your aspirations, dreams and goals, so you know where you're going. <span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:Arial;color:#222222;background:white">What do you want to change, achieve, have more of, improve or do differently from now? This is the vision of your changed life and the milestone goals to get you there. <span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:Arial;color:#222222"> 2. Taking stock. <span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:Arial;color:#222222;background:white">Step back to your starting point and look at what holds you back from changing what you want to change and being the person you want to be. These are your limiting beliefs, negative self–talk and inner dialogue. <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;color:#222222;background:white">3. <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;background:white">Clearing the ground <span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:Arial; color:#222222">Having identified your limiting unhelpful beliefs, it’s time to examine and release these disempowering thoughts.<strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;color:#222222">  <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;color:#222222">4. Empowering positive affirmations <span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:Arial;color:#222222;background:white">Replace negative self-beliefs with empowering positive thoughts and affirmations<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:Arial;color:#222222;background:white">, to affirm how you want to be.<span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-family:Arial;color:#222222"> 5. Visualisation <span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:Arial;color:#222222;background:white">Imagine or visualise<span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:Arial;color:#222222;background:white"> the outcome you want. Whatever you want to change – see it in your mind’s eye as if the changes are in place – and importantly, how you got there. <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;color:#222222;background:white">6. Appreciation Place yourself in the here and now by appreciating what you have now, on route to your changed self. Practice appreciation to make it a daily habit, and train yourself to look for more to appreciate - you’ll find it.  <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal">7. Mindfulness Meditation Practice mindfulness to notice being in the present moment on purpose, without judgement or criticism. Experience the benefits of Mindfulness meditation in return for a simple focus on your breathing for a few minutes every day. <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;color:#222222;background:white">8. Action <span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:Arial;color:#222222;background:white">This is where mindset meets actions and stuff happens, based on the previous techniques. Take your vision and milestone goals and break them down into actions and trigger actions, so you know what to do, can fight procrastination and build momentum. <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;color:#222222;background:white">9. Accountability <span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:Arial;color:#222222;background:white">If you want to achieve your goals and boost your success, make yourself accountable because: “Accountability separates the wishers in life from the action-takers that care enough about their future to account for their daily actions.” ~ John Di Lemme <strong style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"><span style="mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;color:#222222">10. Reflection and celebration <span style="mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:Arial;color:#222222">Learn from your experiences and find and take every opportunity to celebrate your successes – however small.
