RichThinking in Action

The other day, Claire in my Mastermind group spoke of a deadline she had to meet. She then gave a really inspiring example of Rich Thinking in action.

She heard herself say the word ‘deadline’, and immediately changed it to ‘aliveline’! I loved it! I asked her permission to share it with you, which she generously agreed to. She runs an EFT business (www.eft4change.co.uk) and is incredibly inspiring in what she does.

So I encourage everyone of you to start using the word ‘aliveline’ instead of deadline. Or perhaps you have some other suggestions?

Hope you meet your alivelines today!

I’m sitting in the window of our lovely beach cottage in the south west of Scotland. It’s a balmy evening, warm winds and a lovely sunset happening right now. I’ve won the game! This is unusual, in fact it has happened only perhaps 3 times in the last 17 years of playing Scrabble.

‘Scottish Scrabble’ is what we play; only ever played when at this cottage, and with the help of a Scottish dictionary. Before I tell you about the role Rich Thinking has to play in all this, you need though to know about our rules. They are a bit unusual…

1. We play against our own highest score (this is because I rarely win against Philip as we have such different playing (more...)

‘Jane!’ I heard my name being shouted from the end of the hallway, ‘you’ve been on that computer at least 3 hours without moving!’

‘OK, OK’ I replied, ‘I’ll be off in a minute’.

The truth is, I could easily have sat there another few hours probably, and then been amazed at the time when I eventually stopped.

This is Magnetic Bottom Syndrome, mentioned by me in an earlier newsletter, and originated by my American friend, Barbara, to describe her husband who’s bottom is even more magnetic than mine! It has the following symptoms:

- Fixed staring at a computer screen, whether laptop or main screen, it doesn’t matter
– Sore muscles upon arising from the chair
– Oblivious of time passing

And a further symptom, only experienced by some:

- Not noticing that (more...)

Are you a Rich Thinker or a Poor Thinker?

What is Rich Thinking? Rich Thinking is a state of mind. It’s when your bank account is very low, but you still are grateful for what you do have, and find pleasure in your life anyway. It’s when you look into the eyes of a trusting child and give thanks they are in your life, even though half an hour before they were driving you round the bend. It’s when you’re walking through the woods and you notice the particular shape of the branches of a tree, and appreciate it’s beauty. And it’s when you let down your guard with your partner, trusting that in your vulnerability there is a strength that will bring you through difficult times.

Rich Thinking is actively choosing to see riches (more...)

Love me.

Those two words at the bottom of my friend’s email stopped me in my tracks.

Why?

Because in the context, their significance was HUGE. She’d sent me an email telling me about her blog. I clicked on the link and it didn’t work. I’d noticed there was another email from her in my inbox, and it gave me the right link. At the end of the message on this email, she’d signed off with

‘Love me’.

So instead of criticising herself for sending out the wrong link, she was loving herself anyway.

What a message! This is the kind of thinking a RichThinker employs! I am so grateful to her for giving me this lovely reminder. Hope you can take the message to love yourself despite your (more...)
