The Art of the Shift: How to Get and Keep that Winning Feeling – ETHE 012

Show Notes The challenge we all face each and every day is to condition ourselves to get and keep that winning feeling, despite any resistance (internal or external) we may encounter. If we cultivate the losing feeling we simply won’t be able to realize our goals and dreams. The winning feeling is just the means to an end.  Feeling like a winner causes us to act like a winner.  And when that happens, we get the results of a winner. Shifting your state of being is an art.  It takes practice. Saying, “I am and I can”, will help you align your thoughts and your actions with the goal you want to realize. It’s all about being aware of your state of consciousness, and noticing when you start to slip into that losing feeling.  When you do, take a minute and shift your consciousness back to that winning feeling by thinking as if you’ve already realized your desired outcome. The key to life is this; feel like a success and a winner all of the time. How to get that winning feeling: Dress for success.  When you look good, you feel good. Declutter your space so you can focus the power of your conscious mind on what’s truly important. Post inspirational and encouraging pictures and quotes around your home or office. Wear a rubber band on your wrist.  When you catch yourself entertaining loosing feelings, flip the rubber band.  I was recently reminded of this great technique in the book Purple Crayon Confidence, by Kayla-Leah Rich (see the resources section below). Carry yourself like a winner.  Our body and mind are connected.  Posturing like a winner will cause you to feel like a winner. Create small pocket cards with inspiration, encouragement, wisdom, and reminders to help you keep that winning feeling throughout the day. One Sentence Summary: To get and keep that winning feeling, imagine you already have the circumstances you want in every area of your life. Quote of the Week: …if we keep our positive goal in mind and picture it to ourselves so vividly as to make it “real” and think of it in terms of an accomplished fact, we will also experience “winning feelings”: self-confidence, courage, and faith that the outcome will be desirable.” ~ Maxwell Maltz Resources Mentioned: Psycho-Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz – A fantastic book that talks extensively about how to get that winning feeling. Purple Crayon Confidence, by Kayla-Leah Rich – A fantastic book on developing your confidence.  It’s filled with personal stories from the author, practical exercises, biblical references, and so much more.
