spiritual principles made practical's podcast

The process of making our life what we consciouslsy want it to be requires us to take ownership of our abilities so we can choose how we use them.  We already have all the talent and power we could ever want.  The challenge is letting go of our resistance to being consciously accepting of that power and ability. I'm finding, more and more, that I'm relating to the fact that my mind creates everything in my "differentiated" life.  The "non differentiated" life includes our Will and Being.  The differentiated life includes all people, things, thoughts and time.  All of that is created in the present moment by our mind.  Only that which we "pay attention" to exists. As I relax my resistance, I'm becoming increasingly aware and accepting of the fact that my mind creates everything.  It does so at the direction of the will.  This awareness is not something I'm trying to make happen.  It's wisdom that has always existed that I'm becoming increasingly conscious of in my mind. At the direction of my will, I am learning more and more of the details of how my mind creates at the direction of my will. If you want to engage with me in learning more of how our mind works and how it is directed by our will, contact me for a free introductory coaching session at https://calendly.com/scottfriedman40/30min My books are avaailable on Amazon.  You can find links to them on my website, www.thoughtcoachingbyscott.com

If you're like me, you probably have times when you just want to give up.   Like all thoughts, we have a choice to act on them or not once we accept their existence. I've worked through thoughts and feelings of giving up so many times, I'm quite aware it is a transitory problem.   One of the ways I've worked through it is to ask myself, what makes my life worth living.  When I answer that question I think about all the energy and inspiration and joyI experience as I lift myself and others up.  I don't want to miss out on more of that.  I think about my commitment to never give up on myself and all the good that has come to me in my life by not giving up, even when it's hard.  I remind myself every time I work through a difficulty, my life is better on the other side. Once I'm not feeling like giving up, I see that thought as no big deal.  I simply choose not to act on that thought.  This opens me up to notice thoughts that are uplifting that I can act on.  Those are the thoughts I choose to act on, leaving thoughts of giving up behind. I offer thought coaching where we work to be more aware of our thoughts and the power we have to choose which to act on.  This is true freedom.  The first coaching session is free to see if we're a fit.  You can make an appointment on my calendar, https://calendly.com/scottfriedman40/30min My books are avaialble on Amazon.  You can find links to them on my website, www.thoughtcoachingbyscott.com        

For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to maximize my potential.  Over time, I've come to understand my mind creates the world.  To maximize my potential I need to consciously harness my mind.  I need to understand how my mind works and what it is capable of and where it takes its direction from. One of the first things to accept is that my mind is always creating.  It creates from both the conscious and the subconscious.  When I think about realizing my potential, it's important to understand my mind is already creating everything in perfect alignment with my thoughts.  It's just that some of the thoughts are conscious and some are unconscious.  The more I am aware of my conscious thoughts, the more the unconscious thoughts move from the unconscious to the conscious.   Over time, (note that time is created by the mind as well) I've come to increasingly be able to consciously direct my mind and what it creates.  I created a woman in my life who I love and wanted to marry me over 40 years ago (still married).  I created a life focused on spiritual growth which I've come to understand as consciously accepting more and more of what is true.  I left a secure corporate job over 40 years ago because I wanted to make my life all it could be and I believed that could not happen in that job.  All this and more I've created with my mind, as have you. I may be able to help you become more conscious of your thoughts and the power we have to choose which thoughts to act on.  If you want a free introductory session to see if we're a good thought coaching fit, contact me at [email protected] My books are available on Amazon.  You can find links to the books on my website, www.thoughtcoachingbyscott.com  

Because the most effective way forward is to have a greater acceptance of what is true right now, I want to share current progress in advancing win/win thinking in the world. Earlier this week I recorded my first podcast interview in which my guest, Chris Johnson, shared a number of win/win experiences from his life.  We relate to and are inspired by other's stories.   Having the clarity to realize this is something I could do, have guests sharing win/win on a podcast, was a step forward in advancing win/win thinking.  Putting it into action and seeing it become part of the physical world was another step forward. The fact that I am succeeding in advancing win/win thinking in the world is confirmation that I am growing in my acceptance of being ONE with all that exists.  In my meditation it has been abundantly clear that progress in more fully accepting and relating to being ONE will result in win/win thinking advancing in the world.  When I see win/win advancing in the world it is confirmation that I am more fully accepting and relating to being ONE.  Accepting being ONE is the cause.  Win/win is the effect. The door is open to those who want to uplift themselves and the world by sharing your win/win experiences.  Contact me at [email protected] to be a guest, or investigate if coaching would be good for you. My books are available on Amazon.  You can find links to the books on my website, www.thoughtcoachingbyscott.com    

The more I focus on and act on inspiration, the more my mind and body align with my immutable spirit.   Increasingly I'm seeing this in action.  For example, the thought that no one values what I have to offer is losing strength through acceptance and increasingly allowing what I know to be true to have wider acceptance.  What is true is that what I have to share uplifts me and the whole world.  Anytime any of us is uplifted, the whole world benefits.  Sooooo, share your love, joy, wisdom and inspiration because it benefits you, me and everyone else too. I offer thought coaching.  I create a state of being intensely present allowing devine inspiration to flow providing maximum benefit.  To talk about it doesn't do it justice.  It has to be experienced to appreciate the value.  To set up a free initial coaching session, contact me at [email protected]. Or, you can book an appointment at https://calendlhy.com/scottfriedman40/30min My books are available on Amazon.  You can find links to them on my website, www.thoughtcoachingbyscott.com  

Example is the most powerful form of leadership.  Chris Johnson shares examples from his life of win/win in action. The more we identify and imlement win/win solutions, the better is the world we live in.  It's something each of us can do.  The question is, is it worth your time and attention to focus on identiifying and implementing win/win solutions? One of the examples I'm most proud of is my willingness to be myself in situations where I might otherwise be afraid doing that would turn out badly.  I hope I'm an inspiriting example of the courage to be yourself.   I offer thought coaching that helps appreciate and trust yourself more.  If that is of interest or if you'd like to be a guest sharing your win/win examples, contact me at [email protected] My books are available on Amazon.  You can find links to them on my website, www.thoughtcoachingbyscott.com  

It's important to be aware of what we're doing that creates what we want in our life so we can keep doing it. For decades I've had the thought in meditation that the further along I got, the better my life would be, and the more powerful the distractions would be.  Right now, things are going really well for me.  It's tempting to focus my attention on the new clients, the new opportunities, improved family health and the like.  I love all that and will follow through on all of it.  What I don't do is forget and stop what has created this benefit in my life.  All the benefit is the product of meditating daily for over 40 years and acting on the uplifting inspiration I've received in meditation. Often, it's important to remind ourselves of what we know.  What works for you, works for you.  It doesn't matter if you're the only person that works for.  Never let anyone talk you out of doing what works for you. I offer thought coaching.  Part of what I do is help people identify and build on what they're already doing that works.  Win/win thinking is something that is available to everyone that uplifts us all.  For everything that is good in your life, you can be assured that it's the product of win/win.  The more we can build our skill at identifying and implementing win/win solutions, the better life is for us all.  You're already doint it even though it's likely you're not aware you're doing it.  When we know what works for us, we can choose to do more of it.  To contact me regarding coaching, reach out to me at [email protected] My books are available on Amazon.  You can find links to the books on my website, www.thoughtcoachingbyscott.com  

There is benefit in viewing our life as an adventure of self discovery.  For me at least, it provides an optimal level of detachment as well as a sense of humor. For example, when things go bad, I can understand that as my mind providing contrast so I can appreciate when things go well.  When I find out I'm mistaken about something, I see it as an opportunity to change my thinking making it more effective.  When things go really well, I can enjoy and appreciate it more because it's special.   Viewing life as an adventure gives me the detachment to see things more clearly than I would otherwise. Part of my self discovery, self acceptance, has me accepting we are all ONE.  Because we are all ONE, we all rise and fall together.  That means there is a win/win solution to every problem.   I've taken on the goal to advance win/win thinking in the world.  I offer coaching to help people identify win/win solutions and grow the self acceptance that heals.  If that is of interest to you, contact me at [email protected] for a free consultation to determine if we're a good fit. Links to myy books are available on my website, www.thoughtcoachingbyscott.com  

There is a win/win solution to very problem.  That includes problems we've historically viewed as zero sum; win/lose. Developing our skill at identifying and implementing win/win solutions, I believe, is worth our effort.  Part of the change in thinking that aides in this process is thinking of money as a tool, not an end in itself.  When we understand money is a tool that only has value when it is used to increase our experience of love, joy, peace and other positive emotions, we open ourself up discovering and implementing more win/win solutions.  For sure money has value.  Its value is like a car or a phone.  It exists to enrich our life.   I'm offering a free session to help you become more adept at identifying and implementing win/win solutions.  You can contact me at [email protected] .   My books are available on Amazon.  You can find links to them on my website, www.thoughtcoachingbyscott.com  

The truth eventually makes itself known.   Right now the world needs to be exposed to the truth that the only power that satisfies is power over ourself.  There are a great many people resonding to feeling powerless by trying to have power over others.  We feel powerless when we deny our power over ourself.  We have the power to choose which thoughts we act on and the life those actions create.  When we have power over ourself, we have no need or desire to have power over others. Paradoxically, when we have power over ourselves we have a self confidence that others want to emulate.  Our example ends up having a greater impact than any efforts we might make to have power over others. It is true that we are all ONE.  Because of this fact, there is necessairly a win/win solution to every problem.  As we identify and implement win/win solutions, we get better at identifying and implementing them.  I invite you to contact me to be a guest on my podcast telling your win/win story.  By being an inspiring example, we'll maximize our contribution to the world.  Reach out to me at [email protected] I offer thought coaching to assist in being more conscious of your thoughts and the power you have to choose which thoughts to act on.  There is no fee until you realize your objective.  To find out if we're a fit, contact me at [email protected] My books are available on Amazon.  You can findd links to the books on my website, www.thoughtcoachingbyscott.com  

The present moment is the only moment that ever exists.  Even we we're thinking about the past or future, we are doing that thinking in the present moment.  If we're not thinking of the past or future, for all intents and purposes it doesn't exist.  We create with our attention. Being increasingly aware that only the present moment exists, allows to consider the possibility of using our mind more fully to create what we want.  If we create all that exists in the present moment, we have a fresh start each moment.  The idea of "this will take time" has less and less strength and impact in our life.  Of course it's a challenge to let go of the idea of time, and we can do it.   For now, I'm moving forward remembering that when I'm thinking of the past or future that I'm doing that thinking in the present moment.  This I can relate to and do.  It's exciting for me to feel that I am moving towards being able to consciously create the world just as I want it in the present moment. Our minds create everything.  The more we understand and are aware of the workings of our mind, the more we consciously choose what we want to create.  I offer thought coaching in which we accept more of how the mind works and how we can consciously direct its creative power.  If that's of interest to you, contact me at [email protected] and we'll see if we're a fit. If you have a win/win experience you'd like to share, let me know.  We'll record your experience in a podcast and share it with the audience.  That will result in everyone claiming more of our capacity to create win/win experiences in life.  Again, contact me at [email protected] My books are available on Amazon.  You can find links to the books on my website, www.thoughtcoachingbyscott.com  

I believe I was inspired to record this podcast to reinforce and trust what I know to be true, particularly as it concerns money. Without fail when I've been inspired and at peace when spending money I've been glad I spent the money.  I've known for decades the purpose of money is to maximize our experience of love, joy and peace.  Nevertheless, I find myself hesitant to spend money especially when it is to support me.  When I share something, it creates greater alignment within me.  I think that's why I've been inspired to share wisdom about money  I've known to be true for decaces. I offer thought coaching to assist in being aware of our thoughts and the choice we have to act on them or not.  To find more about that contact me at [email protected] My books are available on Amazon.  You can find links to the books on my website, www.thoughtcoachingbyscott.com If you'd like to share a win/win situation, contact me at [email protected] and will record a podcast.  Participating in this will enhance your ability to recognize and implement win/win solutions and inspire others to do the same.  It's a great service to you and others.  Looking forward to hearing from you.

I compare my experience of what I'm in the process of creating with something I completed creating in my life.  I wanted to understand in more detail how I succeeded in creating in the past so I could create more efficiently and effectively in the present. The result is a greater self confidence in my capacity to create what I want.  I am experiencing a deeper peace and confidence having recorded this podcast.  SUCCESS! I expect my example will inspire you to take greater ownership of your creative capacity and use it more effectively to improve your life and the lives of others. You can contact me at [email protected] for thought coaching or get set up as a guest to share your win/win story.  Understand, the more we focus on something the bigger part of our life it becomes.  We all have win/win events in our life, and we rarely see them in that context.  As we learn to recognize win/win in our life, we find ourselves creating more and more of it, thereby enriching our life and lives of others.  If you'd like help seeing your win/win successes, let me know. My books are available on Amazon.  You can find links to them on my website, www.thoughtcoachingbyscott.com  

We create our ideal life by acting on the thoughts that have uplifting emotions tied to them.  Those emotions could include peace, love, joy, exhileration, compassion, faith, trust or any other positive emotion. We have the capacity to create whatever is most uplifting for us and the world.  In the process we will learn a great deal.  It's likely that we'll have to call upon our faith to keep going in the face of obstacles and setbacks.  If I could say only one thing to you, it's YOU HAVE THE ABILITY WITHIN YOU TO ACHIEVE WHATEVER IS MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU.  Decide what that is and take any step you can discern that will move you in that direction. In this podcast, I'm using myself as an example.  For me, I'm inspired to advance win/win thinking to be the dominant thinking in the world.  You'll see how alive I become as I talk about that and what I'm doing in my effort to achieve that goal.  The specific goal is not the point, the degree of aliveness is the point.  I'd be committed to anything that animated me to that degree. Let this podcast inspire you to listen to yourself.  As you listen to yourself, allow yourself to feel your inner enthusiasm and commitment.  Take note of the thoughts and potential actions that are paired with those emotions.  Know that acting on those thoughts will increase the enthusiasm and commitment you experience in life.  Do that and you'll be creating and walking your intended path.  Your life will be rewarding beyond anything you've ever imagined.  Mine is. Even with all the ups and downs.  Knowing that I'm doing what I should be doing with my life is a great source of peace and fulfillment, even with all the challenges I've created.

I find it helpful to be clear on how I measure success.  I hope my example inspires you to be clear and focused on what "success" means to you.  

When we die to self, we no longer experience ourself as a separate and individual being.  We experience evelasting peace.  One of the reasons the peace is everlasting is there is no time.  When we die to thinking of ourself as being separate, we disengage from the mind.  It's the mind that creates time and the differenciated world.   How does this help us get through the day?  It gives us perspective to see things more clearly and thereby make better choices.  It also give us a perspective to retreat to where suffering does not exist because the mind is disengaged.  After a "time out" we can re engage with the world with renewed energy and clarity. This undifferentiated state is also described as "being present", "being in the flow", "being in the zone".  In every case the mind has been disengaged.  Ask yourself or anyone else if. they were thinking when they were in flow.  It's spontaneous expression of BEING.  There is no "self consciousness" because there is no individual self.  The individual self is a construct of the mind.  When the mind is not engaged (conscious and subconscious mind both) there is no creation. When we're in the state of being, we are already all that could ever exist.  There is no differentiation.  The idea of being separate is gone along with every other idea. Of course it is a challenge to describe what is beyond words.  We can point in that direction though. If you think you'd benefit from engaging with me in the differentiated world to gain greater clarity and acceptance in the world of the mind, contact me at [email protected] and we'll discuss what benefit we can create in this world. My books, including "Being ONE" are available on Amazon.  You can find links to them on my website, www.thoughtcoachingbyscott.com If you'd like to share a win/win experience from your life as a podcast, let me know and we'll do that'. Part of what I want to do in the differentiated world is promote win/win as a way to help us experience being ONE.

Much of our life is spent working to experience more of being ONE while thinking of ourself as being separate.  We value close relationships.  We want to spend time with people who "get" us.  We gravitate to people who are "like" us.  All of this is an attempt to experience more of being ONE. In fact we're happiest when we're spontaneous and not self conscious.  That is when we're experiencing being ONE.  When we're in the flow, in the present moment, we are experiencing being ONE.  There are more ways to expeience being ONE.  One of them is to recognize that when we heal ourself, we heal everyone else.  That's something I'm working on being aware of. Letting go of thinking of myself as separate and replacing that with experiencing myself as ONE with all that exists is a process.  In some ways I think of it as using my mind to go beyond my mind.  When I'm ONE I'm not thinking in the familiar sense.  I'm spontaneous and their is no self consciousness (thinking of myself as separate).  I offer thought coaching to help use our mind to go beyond our mind.  If you'd like to explore if this is something that would be good for you, contact me at [email protected] and we'll figure it out.   My books are avaialble on Amazon.  You can find links to them on my website, www.thoughtcoachingbyscott.com If you'd like to share a win/win experience from your life in a podcast, contact me at [email protected] and we'll schedule a time to record and share a podcast of your inspiring example.    

The habit of seeing others as being separate from me is deeply ingrained.  I know that we are all ONE, and am working on finding ways to relate to that more. One insight I had in recording this podcast is that when I heal myself, I heal the world.  That makes sense to me when I realize that when I'm expressing joy and am in the flow, I'm lifting up myself and others.  When I observe others being immersed in joy, I feel that joy. The more I aware of being present, the more energy and clarity I have to increasingly relate to being ONE.  My understanding and acceptance of being ONE continues to grow as I increasingly focus on that. One way to experience more of being ONE is to focus on win/win solutions.  If you have a win/win solution you've been part of and want to be an inspiring example for others, contact me at [email protected] to schedule a podcast sharing your experience. I offer thought coaching.  To find more about that, contac me at [email protected] My books are avaialble on Amazon.  You can find links to them on my website, www.thoughtcoachingbyscott.com  

I believe how we view close relationships is a vey clear reflection of ourself.   I see the people I'm close to as life long learners.  I see their belief in themselves.   Anything that helps me more fully and honestly accept myself is beneficial.   I offer thought coaching to assist in using our mind to create what we consciously direct it to create.  If that's of interest to you, contact me at [email protected] If you have a win/win experience you'd be willing to share, contact me and we'll devote a podcast to sharing your inspiring example.

We've created everything in our life, including our family.  Like everything else in our life, our family is part of us.  Like all parts of us, we want our family to thrive at the highest level possible. Fortunately, I've discovered how to do that.  When we grow in our acceptance of the joy we are, we see that joy reflected in the part of us that is our family. Watch what happens when we go into a room bursting with joy.  Everyone experiences more joy.  That's because they're part of us, we're all ONE.  When we experience this in action, it's both exciting and motivating to do this more. Please contact me with a win/win experience you would like to share so your example can further uplift you and inspire others.  Contact me at [email protected] to set it up.   I also offer coaching to become more conscious of how we create so we can more effectively choose the world we create for ourselves. Again, contact me at [email protected] to find out if this is for you. My books are available on Amazon.  You can find links to them on my website, www.thoughtcoachingbyscott.com  

We are always creating perfectly all the time.  To gain greater conscious mastery over this process we can study more of the details of how we've created our current world.  Once we understand that, we can choose the world we want to create. The creative process is that first we create what we want in our mind.  We know we've created what we want in our mind when we can communicate it.  For example, in my mind I have $100 Million after tax dollars in my bank account.  I'm using that money to promote win/win thinking by buying brodcast time on TV having myself and others share how we've implemented win/win thinking.   That example is inspiring others to create win/win solutions in their mind and allow their mind to make those thoughts physically apparent.  I've already created all of this in my mind.  I couldn't be sharing it with you if I hadn't. We create our world every instant.  The more attention we pay to how we do that, the greater is our capacity to choose what we create. I offer thought coaching.  If you'd like to investigate that, contact me at [email protected] My books are avaialble on Amazon.  You can find links to them on my website, www.thoughtcoachingbyscott.com

We can be better at using our mind to create the world we want when we understand that our mind is a small part of who we are.  We are ALL THAT EXISTS.  I like to call in Being All.  In that state there is no diferentiation because everything is me.  Below that state there is will.  Will creates and directs the mnd. The mind creates time and differentiation.  

Acceptance is healing.  When I accept the existense of  a negative thouht, I give myself the gift of choice.  I can choose to believe the negative thought and allow it to stop me.  I can investigage the negative thought and determine if it is true, which in almost all cases it isn't.  I can acknowledge the positive thought and choose to do all I can to act on that positive thought, inspite of the negative thought. Every time we acknowledge the existence of the negative thought and choose not to act on it, we claim more of our infinite power. Here's an example because example is the most powerful form of leadership. My energy and enthusiasm go off the charts when I think about advancing win/win thinking in the world.  Along with that come thoughts including, who do you think you are, you can't do that; you don't have the resources to do that;  you don't have the communication skills to do that; what makes you think you can do that when so many before you have failed; even if you had the power to do that, you'd probably misuse that power; and so on.   Now accepting the thoughts in my mind, it's up to me to decide which to act on.  I choosed to advance win/win thinking in the world to the point where it is the dominant thinking in the world.  I have the drive, conviction, determation and strength to pick myself up and try again and again until I create that world.  I've created what I've been committed to despite negative thoughts to the contrary over and over.  I have the energy to do it again. Find what you're totally and completely committed to in your life and go after it with all you've got.  That's how to experience being vitally alive.  The gift of being vitally alive is the greatest gift you could ever give yourself and the world. I offer thought coaching where you are supported in achieving your most treasured goals.  You don't pay until your goal is achieved.  To find out if we're a fit, contact me at [email protected] My books are available on Amazon.  You can find links to the books on my website, www.thoughcoachingbyscott.com      

Our outer experience of life, our physical world experience, is a reflection of our inner experience of life.  If we want to have more conscious control of our outer world, we need to have more conscious control of our inner world first.  That means, being conscious of our thoughts.  It means filling our mind with the thoughts we want to be the source of our physical world experience. I recently closed a loan as a mortgage broker where the parties were having a hard time reaching agreement on an issue in the purchase.  I found myself sticking to my mantra, my inner focus, my inner acceptance of what was true.  I believe my calm and centered state was instrumental in providing the parties what they needed to know, and the calm they needed to experience, to resolve their issue to everyone's satisfaction.  In my mind, my inner peace and acting on thoughts imbued with that peace was instrumental in creating a positive outcome.   We are well served by increasing our understanding and acceptance of the impact our thoughts and state of mind have in creating our physical world experience. I offer thought coaching.  In that coaching I assist you in accepting your wisdom and power more fully resulting in the goals most important to you being achieved.  Because I only get paid on results, I screen my clients closely to be confident they'll do their part.  If this is of interest to you contact me at [email protected] to schedule a time to find out if we're a fit.

This podcast is in  response to my question, why have I been inspired to have "I am the world" as my mantra. The short answer is, accepting  as much of what is true that we can is the only way to minimize stress and maximize joy, love and peace in our life.  What is true is we are all that exists.  We are not a drop in the ocean, we are the entire ocean.  The idea that we are separate beings is an idea we've created.  The idea exists even though it's false.  We know that some of the thoughts in our mind are not accurate.  The thought that we are separate is one of those inaccurate thoughts. Our familiarity with thinking of ourselves as being separate, doesn't make it true.  At one time people thought the world was flat.  That didn't make it true.   For our own health and well being, we need to accept and align with what is true as completely as we can.

When we acknowledge our progress there are a great many benefits.  We are encouraged to continue to do what's working for us.  We can be proud of ourself for having identified and implemented what works for us.  We can be even more optomistic in our effectiveness in creating the life we want.  We feel stronger and more capable.  Now comes the part where I share my example because example is the most powerful form of leadership. In the past few months I've made great strides in filling my mind up with thoughts and visions of what I want my life to be.  It's having an observable effect already.  Today I was uplifted by the joy in my wife's voice as she carried on a "conversation" with our dogs.  I have supported myself by attracting and engaging with people who share my vision of a better world where win/win thinking is dominant.  I find myself relating more to the commercial success I desire.  I know the more I relate to what I want to create, the closer that which has already been created in my mind is to being created physically.  I've identified an internal feeling where I relate so much to a physical world occurance, it's appearance in the physical world is immenant. As I increasingly choose the thoughts in my mind I find myself relating to their physical expression more and more. I offer thought coaching with gauranteed results.  If that's something you'd like to explore, contact me at [email protected] to set up a free appointment.

As we progress we become increasingly aware of negativity that's been with us so long it's hard to recognize.  Once it's exposed, we're in a position to heal it through acceptance, or any other way that works for you. There. is a part of me. that doesn't expect anything to work out despite the fact that almost everything works out for me.  In response to that intense negativity I've adopted the practice that I will say to myself, "I'm going to assume what I'm working on will work until I see irrefutable evidence that it isn't."  Another response to the negativity is "I owe it to myself to give myself a chance".   Accepting that I have persistant thoughts that things are not going to work out for me, is a relief.  It seems strange, but knowing the problem is a relief.  I am fond of saying "I'm much better solving problems I know about than problems I don't know about".  When I'm aware of the negative thoughts, that awareness makes room for more accurate positive thoughts. I offer thought coaching to become more aware of your thoughts and more effective at choosing the thoughts in your mind.  If that's of interest to you, contact me for a free consultation to determine if we're a fit or not.  Send an e mail to [email protected] to set it up.

I'm always on the lookout for ways to make my growth smoother and more enjoyable.  This morning I was inspired to add coaching myself as a separate person to have smoother and more enjoyable growth. I and many people I know don't give ourselves honest credit for the amazing beings we are and the valuable contribution we make to ourselves and the world.  We don't give ourself the encouragement we deserve.   I believe we should use "do what is beneficial to us and others" as our measure of what we should or should not do.  With that in mind everything we can do to encourage and believe in ourself should be done.  As our own coach, we should be telling ourself that we have what it takes to accomplish all we're inspired to accomplish.   We should be giving ourself the praise we would be offering someone else if they behaved as we do. We deserve to be encouraged and supported by ourself.  We deserve to be honored and appreciated for our good deeds. We create our life with our thinking.  That includes thoughts of appreciation of ourself.  I offer thought coaching to gain greater mastery of your thinking and the world that creates.  For a free introductory session to determine if we're a fit, contact me at [email protected] to schedule a session.   My books are available on Amazon.  You can find links to the books on my website, www.thoughtcoachingbyscott.com    

We create with our mind.  The more we consciously create the thoughts we have in our mind, the more conscious control we have over what we create.  The more closely we observe this process, the more confident and adept we become at creating the reality we consciously choose. In this podcast I'm excited to share my growing understanding, awareness and acceptance of watching as I create.   I offer thought coaching.  If that is something you're interested in, contact me for a free interview to determine if we're a fit.  Contact me at [email protected] to set it up.

Patty McGee shares the benefits of improving our grammer.

As I progress in my growth and self acceptance, I get stronger.  In this process I uncover previously denied negativity.  The good news is the energy tied up in negativity, once healed, will be available to me to consciously direct as I choose. The bad news is that negativity can be overwhelming. Because I believe example is the most powerful form of leadership, I'm using this podcast as a tool to share my response to the overwhelming negativity I experience earlier today.  My first attempt in dealing with it was to ask myself what thought is causing this despair.  I got no answer.  Then I got the idea that I needed to go back to basics.  I focused on accepting what is true right now.  That was clear, I was in negative overwhelm.  Once I accepted that, I found myself repeating my mantra and feeling better.  Then I was inspired to re run my visualization of my ideal life.  The positive emotions that came with repeating the thought of my ideal life got me into a much better place.   Dealing with and directing our mind is a hugely beneficial skill.  Our mind creates everything in our life.  The better we get at choosing the thoughts in our mind, the more freedom and effectiveness we have to create the life we want. I offer thought coaching to help people gain greater mastery of their mind and what it creates.

Allowing myself to be myself is the best thing I can do for myself and others.  What does it mean to be myself?  It means that I have a spiritual orientation to life.  It means I choose to act on thoughts I find joyful and uplifting.  It means I am always striving  to be more honest with myself and authentic with others.  It means I see, relate to, and enjoy the best in others. Because example is the most powerful form of leadership, my example of being myself inspires others to be more themselves.   l offer coaching which supports you in allowing you to be more you.  To find out if we're a good fit, contact me at [email protected] to schedule a free coaching session to find out.

As I grow in my awareness and acceptance of what is true, my remaining hot buttons get exposed to be healed.  The most recent hot button rage about people who have not followed through in their promisses to me. To heal that rage, I need to accept that I created that "hot button" in my life. I created people in my life who haven't kept their commitments to me.  I need to accept that I'm angry about it and allow that acceptance to heal the hurt. I know I've made good progress in healing the anger when I find myself once again able to fill my mind up with thoughts I want my mind to create in the physical realm.  In some ways I'm glad this happened so now I have experienced an effective way to heal myself when "hot buttons" arise. I offer thought coaching.  If that's of interest to you I offer a free consultation to see if we're a fit.  You can contact me to set that up at [email protected] My books are available on Amazon.  You can find links to the books on my website, www.thoughtcoachingbyscott.com  

Our mind creates as it is directed to by our will.  The more conscious we are of this process the better we can consciously choose what we create in our life.   My will has directed my mind to be conscious of what I'm creating and to achieve ever greater levels of awareness and acceptance of what is true.  The process I've chosen is to be ever more aware of the thoughts in my mind and the power I have to choose which thoughts to act on.  I understand the thoughts I act on create my experience of life.  Through my mantra and my visualizations, I increasingly choose the thoughts in my mind.  This is giving me ever greater conscious control of my life. I offer thought coachng for those who want to have a greater awareness and choice of. the thoughts in your mind and the impact of those thoughts.  To set up a free introductory session, contact me at [email protected] My books are available on Amazon.  You can find links to the books on my website, www.thoughtcoachingbyscott.com

All the wisdom we need to make great decisions in our life resides within ourself.  We know what we resonate with and find uplifting.  The more we choose to do those things, the more energy and uplifing events fill our life. Listening to others is valuable.  We need to listen and then evaluate what is shared as to weather or not acting on what's being shared is optimal for us.  Do we believe acting on that advice is uplifting and likely to work well for us?   The more we listen to and act on our inner wisdom, the better everything in our life is.  I offer coaching in which I present ideas and suggestions for you to evaluate and decide if they are beneficial for you to act on.  The choice and responsibility are always yours. I know my life has been enriched by acting on what others have shared that has deeply resonated with me.  I am inspired to offer that to you.  To see if we are a fit, contact me at [email protected] for a no cost, no obligation conversation.  In fact, my coaching offer is that you don't pay anything up front.  At the successful conclusion of the coaching you pay what you think it's been worth to you, and what you can afford.   My books are available on Amazon.  You can find links to the books at my website, www.thoughtcoachingbyscott.com

My thoughts may be accurate or inaccurate.  Either way they create my emotions.  The best way I've found to minimize the impact of negative thoughts is to acknowledge their existence and inspect them to determine if they're accurate.  In most cases they are not accurate.  By inspecting the negative thoughts  I find myself having positive thoughts that are accurate and the impact of. the negative thoughts are weakened.  In the few cases where the negative thoughts are accurate, it points to behavior that needs to be changed to avoid negative outcomes. Once again we see,  being aware of our thoughts and the power to choose which we act on and believe in has a huge impact in our life. I offer thought coaching which supports you in being more of your thoughts and the power you have to decide which thoughts to act on.  To schedule a free introductory coaching session contact me at [email protected] to set it up.  Put "coaching" in the subject line.

When our attention is focused in present moment time doesn't exist.  Becuse the present moment is the only moment that exists, we are creating time in that moment.  Time, like everything else, only exists when we create it with our attention.  It is our attention that creates.  For all intensive purposes, the world only exists when we create it.   This is important to underestand because it allows us to claim more of our power.  Our mind is so powerful that it creates all that exists in the present moment.  The more aware we are of the thoughts in our mind and our capacity to choose which thoughts to believe and act on, the greater mastery we gain over our infinitely powerful mind.   I offer thought coaching.  In the coaching you grow your awareness of your thoughts and the power you have to choose which thoughts to believe and act on.   This is true freedom.  To set up a free initial thought coaching session, contact me at [email protected].

We create with our mind.  A mantra is a thouht we choose to repeat over and over in our mind so we will be creating what we want. When I received inspiration in meditation that I would benefit from having the mantra, "I am the world", I didn't quite understand why that was the optimal mantra for me.  That's why I recorded this podcast, to gain a deeper understanding of my mantra. That mantra is consistent with the highest thoughs I've had.  Those thoughts include "we are ONE", "we all create our own world with our thoughts" and "when we heal ourself, we heal the world".  It makes sense that the optimal mantra for me, or anyone for that matter, is the thought that is most uplifting. I encourage you to meditate on if a mantra would be beneficial for you and what that mantra should be.   I offer thought coaching.  To schedule a free introductory coaching session, contact me at [email protected] My books are available on Amazon.  You can find links to the books on my website, www.thoughtcoachingbyscott.com  

One of my favorite tools is acceptance.  Consistently, every time I've worked to articulate where I'm at in as much detail as possible, I find myself having insights and moving forward as a result. Today, I find myself frustrated that the same negative thoughts that have been with me for years are still with me.  This is despite my longstading efforts to heal those inaccurate negative thoughts through acceptance.  What has changed is I'm more aware of those negative thoughts and more efficient in acknowledging their existence and refocusing on accurate positive thoughts. As I articulate my circumstance, I find myself encouraged and increasingly confident that the impact of those negative thoughts is shrinking.  I find myself able to do things I had been emotionally blocked from doing.  I am attracting increasingly supportive people into my life.  Increasing numbers of people are downloading my podcasts around the world.  All these positive things and more are happening as a result of my dilligent focus on accepting what is true right now for me. I offer thought coaching.  If you'd like a free introductory session, contact me at [email protected] to set it up.

When we achieve the optimal balance between appreciating what is unique about ourself and what is universally true about ourself, we experience maximum energy and "aliveness".   In much of my spiritual journey I've been focused on what is universally true to the exclusion of fairly valuing what is uniquely valuable about me.  Too often, I've told myself everyone knows what I know so I don't have anything valuable to offer.  That is a self destructive lie in the sense that while all wisdom resides in everyone, not everyone is conscious of that wisdom, not everyone knows how to access that wisdom, not everyone knows how to use that wisdom for their benefit.  I am a valuable and inspiring example of the benefits of ever increasing self acceptance. For example, it's true that what we do to another we do to ourself because we are ONE.  If our leaders understood and accepted that truth, we would not be having the wars we're having, the world would not be experiencing food shortages when collectively we produce more food than we can eat, people would not be exploiting others and the list goes on.  The world is desperate for leaders that understand and can effectively communicate the fact we are ONE and the implications of that fact.  Those of us that understand, accept and relate to being ONE are uniquely valuable in this world today. I am inspired to advance acceptance of the fact we are ONE.  I believe everyone has the inner resources to create what they're inspired to create.  If that's true, I have the inner resources to create much greater acceptance of the fact that we are ONE.  Accepting myself is the only way to claim those resources and direct them for our mutual benefit.   I offer thought coaching to support you in tapping into your inner wisdom and gaining greater freedom and effectiveness in creating the life you desire.  To set up a free initial coaching session, contact me at [email protected] My books are available on Amazon.  You can find links to the books on my website, www.thoughtcoachingbyscott.com    

For as long as I can remember, I've seen myself as a separate person.  Increasingly, I am aware thinking of myself in that way creates suffering.  I get relief from that suffering by focusing my attention in the present moment and repeating the mantra "I am the world".  Also, when I'm in the persent moment I am open to experiencing more of the unlimited energy and aliveness that I truly I am.  That energy and power flowing through me is pure joy. As always, I find acceptance is the way forward.  In this podcast I do my best to accept where I'm at now in the transition from thinking of myself as separate to thinking of myself as ONE with all that exists.  In that process parts of me that have long held incorrect beliefs surface. I gain the opportunity to "have a conversation" with those parts.  I offer love and acceptance to those parts of me that are creating suffering in my life when their objective is to protect me.  I appreciate and love those parts of me, and ask them to reconsider what is most beneficial.  We'll see what effect that has as measured by what the physical world reflects back to me.  I have parts that have been working tirelessly to keep sharing of the wisdom I find in meditation as limited as possible.  Some parts of me believes that sharing to a large audience is not safe for me.  I've asked those parts to reconsider. I offer thought coaching where we support each other in increased awareness of our thoughts and the power we have to decide if those thoughts are accurate and should or should not be acted upon.  That is true freedom.  If you'd like to experience a free introductory thought coaching session, contat me at [email protected] to set it up.

We create using our thoughts.  A mantra is a thought we repeat over and over in our mind.  Sometimes it's referred to as an affirmation.  Whatever label we give a thought we repeat over and over in our mind, incessangly repeating a thought in our mind has a big impact in our life.   We are aware of some of our thoughts and unaware of others.  The thoughts we are aware of we have the choice to label them as being true or false, and to choose to act on those thoughts or not.  We don't have that choice with unconscious thoughts.  We just accept them as being true and act on them, unconsciously.  Repeating the mantra fills our mind with the thoughts we want to act on and helps us expose thoughts that we were previously unaware of. Being aware of the thoughts in our mind and the choices we have to act on them or not, is true freedom and power. Repeating a mantra can be a huge benefit in our life.  Try it out and see for yourself. I offer thought coaching where I assist you in moving more thoughts from the unconscious to the conscious and claiming your power to decide what thoughts you want to act on and believe are true.  To set up a free introductory coaching session, contact me at [email protected] My books are available on Amazon.  You can find links to the books on my website, www.thoughtcoachingbyscott.com  

We all have an inheirant drive to experience being more vitally alive.  Every goal we have exists because we believe achieving that goal will result in us feeling more vitally alive.  I've often shared my belief the value in achieving any goal is the growth that is required of us to achieve that goal.   We have power, joy and creativity that is immense and far beyond our conscious experience.  The more we remove obstacles to being consciously aware of and experience that power, the more we can consciously direct our joy wisdom and power.   It is the existence of false thoughts that we act on that limit our acceptance and awareness of the magnificence we are.  The more we can accept the existence of those false thoughts and choose not to act on them, the more those thoughts lose their power in our life.  The thoughts we act on are all powerful in our life.  That's why it's so important to be aware of our thoughts.  Only then can we consciously choose which thoughts to act on.  Thoughts we are not aware of impact our life in ways we don't get to choose. I offer thought coaching which supports you in being consciously aware of your thoughts and the power you have to choose to act on any given thought or not.  For a free introductory coaching session, contact me at [email protected] to set it up.

When difficulty strikes, it's time to draw on our deepest resources.  For me that means meditation and in some cases friends. Part of me is struggling with accepting my value enough to have it reflected back to me in the physical world.  The arguments in my mind on the negative side are "no one wants or values what I have to offer", "I don't deserve huge success", "I haven't done the work to see my hopes and dreams realized" and so on.  On the positive side, "I'm an inspiring example that has helped a great many people", "I am and have advanced win win thinking in the world making the world a better place", "I share wisdom in a manner people use to improve their lives" and more. I know the way forward is to accept the existence of both the negative and positive thoughts, and choose to act only on the positive thoughts.  The thought "I owe it to myself to give myself a chance" helps me a great deal.  The thought, "I've broken through overwhelming resistance before, and I can do it again" also helps.  These thoughts result in me having the strength and resolve to keep going.  I know I am creating every difficulty in my life and the way to change that is to continue to fill my mind with the thought "I am the world".  I repeat that phrase in my mind many, possibly hundreds, of times a day.  This, among other things, focuses my attention in the present moment where there is no suffering. All this is the result of following the guidance I receive in meditation.  I consider that to be my deepest resource.   I offer thought coaching if you think you would benefit from being aware of more of the thoughts that are in your head and the power you have to choose which thoughts to act on and which to let go of.  For a free introductory session, contact me at [email protected]   My books are available on Amazon.   You can find links to them on my website, www.thoughtcoachingbyscott.com
