Who’s Running Your Life, You or Your Circumstances?

posted on 13 October 2009

Assuming YOU’D rather be in charge of your life than your circumstances, then ‘noticing’ is a crucial skill to develop. Thoughts and feelings you’re unaware of will run your life for you unless you notice them, and sometimes even the ones you notice will dominate unless you put yourself in charge of them! Cultivating the part of yourself that is more detached and can observe or witness your thoughts and feelings is crucial to you being in charge.

FTC – Feelings, Thoughts, Choosing

With noticing, you bring yourself the freedom of choice, and with choice, you have the possibility of making a conscious decision to focus on more of what you want. At this point, YOU demonstrate being in charge. In any given situation, (more...)

Dare To Have What You Want

‘You can have what you want’.

When I was first faced with this statement, I found myself getting absolutely furious! The fury was so out of proportion that I knew something else was interfering. I was arguing madly for why exactly I could not have what I wanted, at the same time as wondering what on earth I was doing! On the surface, it seems such an obvious statement. For me, though, it represented a realm of possibility that I found immensely scary.

How do you react to it? Do you think, ‘Oh fantastic!’ Or ‘Of course!’ Perhaps there’s something in between like, ‘Mmm – what exactly do I want anyway?’ Or maybe you already know. If you find you’re having difficulty with this statement like I did, then ask yourself the (more...)

Listening to RichThoughts audios

posted on 9 October 2009

Why listen to RichThoughts? For some people there is an instant resistance. Their mind comes up with an apparently good reason for not doing it and they dismiss the possibility. I have heard many different ways of expressing this, but a large part of it can be boiled down to, “The world has negativity in it and positive thinking ignores this and is therefore unrealistic”.

I partially agree with this statement. I, too, have seen people using positive thinking in unrealistic ways and sometimes using it to bury their heads in the sand. Yes, people ignore reality in all kinds of ways (it is called denial). However, dismissing positive thinking for this reason is to misunderstand it. It is a powerful psychological tool that has not been taught well. Too (more...)

We are what we think we are — so why not think rich?

posted on 9 October 2009

Because automatically we think what we have been taught to think, what we’ve picked up during our childhood (remember how easy it is for a toddler to start swearing after hearing their parents do it?), and what we’ve got into the habit of thinking.

We then become people who are products of our upbringing and lfie experience to date, without actively choosing it on our part.

If you want to increase your levels of income, no matter where you start, your thinking around money and finances has to change from what you were programmed with. And by looking at what rich people already think, there’s a model to follow.

Yes, it’s true — rich people think differently from the middle classes and the poor! For instance, people who think rich in (more...)

RichThinking – like an umbrella, it only works when the mind is open.

posted on 9 October 2009

By it’s very definition, Rich Thinking implies an open mind. You can’t be thinking rich with a closed mind; that’s doing poor thinking. So how do you open the umbrella and begin to think rich?

The first step is to notice what you’re already thinking. It can be about any topic, but let’s take money to start with. Let’s say you’re always saying you can’t afford something. That’s like insisting on keeping the umbrella closed. There’s no way you’ll be able to afford what you want if you keep saying you can’t. It just doesn’t work like that, because when the mind is closed, there’s no opportunity to have it be any other way. That’s why people often surround themselves with other people who think similarly – it helps (more...)
