This is the first episode in a free mini-series on conscious transformation.
In this episode I discuss the inspiration I have taken from the work of Dr.Joe Dispenza.
We explore the concepts of reclaiming our truth, being proactive (inspired by the work of Dr Stephen Covey), and managing our nervous systems.
You have the opportunity to take full responsibility for the quality of your life. You have the power to master your inner world such that you influence the outer world in a positive and intentional way, instead of feeling like a victim to the circumstances of your life. The ability to choose how to respond to life is called free will, and it is the birth right of every human being. We ALL have the gift of free will – however most of us rarely use it. Instead, we default to patterns of thinking, feeling and behaving that we’ve been programmed into (some of these patterns we inherited, others we created through repetition or intense emotional experiences like trauma).
The good news – everything you require to live an extraordinary life is already inside of you. And in this course we will explore ways to consciously re-program our unconscious patterning so that the thoughts, emotions and behaviors we desire become natural, effortless and automatic.
In this first class, the key take-home message is that you are the programmer of your life. Regardless of what has transpired in your past, from the moment you choose to take responsibility for your happiness and fulfillment, you will have the power to script your future – to choose the thoughts, emotions and behaviors that will define you.
Stephen Covey’s first habit of highly effective living (and business) is to be proactive. Being proactive is much more than simply taking initiative. Being proactive means taking full responsibility for your life. The opposite of being proactive is being reactive – reactive people blame their inner world (how they feel) on their outer world (circumstance). How they feel becomes a product of their environment, and they relinquish power over their lives because they cannot control all circumstances.
“Being proactive means you carry your own weather with you. Your circumstances do NOT define your response. When our lives are a function of conditioning and conditions, it is because we have, by conscious decision or by default, chosen to empower those things to control us. In making such a choice, we become reactive. Reactive people are often affected by their physical environment. If the weather is good, they feel good. If it isn’t, it affects their attitude and their performance.
Reactive people are also affected by their social environment, by the “social weather.” When people treat them well, they feel well; when people don’t, they become defensive or protective. Reactive people build their emotional lives around the behavior of others, empowering the weaknesses of other people to control them. They are driven by feelings, by circumstances, by conditions, by their environment. Proactive people are driven by values — carefully thought about, selected and internalized values. Dr. Covey teaches that we all have a space between stimulus and response and it is in that very space that our greatest gift – the freedom to choose – can be found. So the next time the weather looks bad – the physical weather or the social weather – will you curse it and allow it to ruin your day, or will you choose a good response to it? Or as my mother used to say, will you make lemonade from lemons?”
Stephen Covey
If you believe, even just a little bit, that you are responsible for your own happiness in life, you can no longer blame circumstances or people for your feelings. This does not mean that you are always happy – that is unrealistic and even harmful to expect. What it means is that the emotions you make habitual are the ones you consciously choose. Emotions do not just happen to us – they are the end product of thoughts we entertain (more on the biology of this process in class 2). We choose our emotions, whether consciously or unconsciously, by the thoughts we think. If you can become more aware of and intentional about your thoughts, you can master your emotional and energetic life.
Reflections:
- What are the values and principles that you wish to align your life with?
- Start to become aware of the "old program." What thoughts, beliefs and actions are undermining your health and happiness? What do you want to shift?
- Ask loved ones to help give clarity on strengths, as well as areas of self-sabotage.
