Enter Your Peak State, Unleash Your Power Within (An Empowering Message From Anthony Robbins)

What is that you really want in your life right now?

I suppose we all have a goal - that something that we absolutely want right now. Whether it be a great relationship, more money, a great job or just to be healthy again.

Wanting it is one thing. Getting it is quite another.

Most of us have been taught that to get what we really Want, we have to think positive, set goals, work hard, be patient, and make sacrifices - Right?

WRONG!

Surprised?

Tony Robbins, after spending a lifetime coaching some of the most successful people on the planet, has a completely different view on what it takes to get what you really want

Think back to one of those rare moments when you felt

On top of the world: Fearless and certain, with limitless energy, incredible ability, amazing clarity of thought able to conquer anything Vibrant with an aliveness impossible to describe. Inspired bursting with creativity, brilliant ideas, and plans for exciting things to do  In total control, optimistic, tasting a level of freedom that few ever find  a golden moment in which your life was rich with purpose, meaning, awe, and inner peace.

Then in a flash, it’s gone. You’re back to living half a life, and doing things the hard way.

Now what?

How long do you wait for the moment to return? A week, a month, a year, a lifetime?

Let me show you how you can enter this state, instantly - at your command - unleashing an incredible power that transforms your life and fulfils your every dream

Let me share a story to illustrate my point:

I was on a flight, sitting in first class, when shortly after take-off I heard,  Aren’t you the power guy?I turned, and from across the aisle, I again heard, Anthony Robbins. The power guy. Right? I smiled and nodded.

The well-dressed elderly man introduced himself, told me the name of his company, and to impress me, mentioned the major league sports team he owns. I’ll call him Mr. Big. He then introduced the man next to him, his lawyer, who I’ll call Phil.

You promise unlimited power. Isn’t that your shtick? asked Mr. Big.

He obviously thrives on confrontation. If he only knew what was about to happen.

I’m intrigued, he continued without waiting for my reply,  I’ve watched your infomercial, and I think it’s a lot of crap.

I listened politely.

The way I see it, everyone falls into one of two groups: the powerful and the powerless. Ninety-nine percent are powerless  and regardless of what you promise them, they’ll stay powerless until the day they die.

 You’re missing the point, I said.  Everyone has an untapped power centre, and I show people how to unleash it and use it to fulfil their dreams.

 Bull****! You want to see real power? Watch this.

Mr. Big picked up his drink and, without hesitation, poured it slowly into Phil’s lap. Phil jumped up, blurted an obscenity, and looked at Mr. Big in horror. Frantically, he brushed the ice onto the floor, wiped his wet pants, forced a frozen smile, and said,  That’s funny.

Mr. Big then turned to me and said,  That, Mr. Robbins, is power.

 Powerlessness condemns people to a lifelong prison sentence

I’ve seen thousands of people like Phil - intelligent, talented, well-educated, full of big dreams - who are prepared to work hard and make sacrifices. They do everything right but in the end, they fall short of their expectations.

Why?

Because they’re missing the key ingredient:

To make things happen, you first have to turn on your power and enter your peak state.

If you don’t, it’s like putting a roast into a cold oven and forgetting to turn on the heat. Nothing’s going to happen.

Without the power, people’s lives become a string of good intentions - instead of the achievements, victories, fulfilment, and results they desire. They spend their lives working too hard, for too long, reaping few lifetime rewards, giving up often, and settling for less than they want and deserve.

Phil could have it all. He just needed to know he had the power and how to activate it. Until he finds the power, he’ll spend the rest of his working life being a doormat to bullies like Mr. Big.

I couldn’t sit there and do nothing.

When Mr. Big went to the restroom, I asked Phil why he put up with such abuse.  He’s harmless. He’s just having fun, Phil said. Then adding,  But I have been thinking that I should drop him as a client.

SHOULD!

It drives me crazy when I hear people say  should.

 Shoulds never materialise. It’s a clear sign that Phil sees himself as powerless. At that moment, I decided to share what I know with Phil.

I reached into my briefcase, removed my personal notes from the three-and-a-half-day seminar I had just given,  Unleash the Power Within , took out half a dozen relevant pages and handed them to him and said,  You MUST read this, now!

One of the first things I tell people at my Unleash the Power Within seminar is to replace the word SHOULD with MUST.

Instead of saying, I should find a better job, I should start my own business, I should lose weight, I should quit smoking, I should spend more time with my kids say MUST.

Say, I must find a better job, I must start my own business, I must lose weight, I must quit smoking, I must spend more time with my kids and you’ll notice an immediate change.

Achieving what you want is easy  when you know how to unleash the power within.

Mr. Big returned from the restroom, took his seat, and grabbed a magazine. Phil was studying the pages I handed him. About 20 minutes later, Phil stopped reading, placed the papers on his pullout table, and stared directly ahead into space.

 Phil, Mr. Big said. Phil didn’t answer. He just kept staring.  Phil, what time are we going to land?

Looking straight ahead, barely moving a muscle, Phil replied,  3:55.

 Jim’s going to meet us at the airport, right?

 Yeah.

 You know how we’re going to play this, right?

 Yeah.

 I don’t want any screw-ups.

 No screw-ups.

Phil sat there, staring straight ahead, appearing to be somewhere else, lost in thought. But actually, something quite different was taking place inside Phil. I could see it. I’ve seen it thousands of times in other people as it happened to them.

I’ve seen the same look in people who attend my seminar as they step onto a bed of red-hot coals - glowing at 1,500 degrees - walk across, smiling and relaxed, without burning their feet.

I’ve seen the same look in people who accomplish amazing feats that few can do.

How did they do it? They entered their  Peak State  

Phil was there at this moment, and I watched with the same pride that parents have as they watch their child perform in a school play. I just sat and waited to see what he would do with it.

Suddenly, Phil called the flight attendant and asked if there was an empty seat back in coach.

 Plenty, he said.

 Good. I’d like one, please.

Mr. Big looked startled,  What’s going on, Phil?

Phil got up, grabbed his laptop computer, turned to Mr. Big and calmly said,  You’ll have to find another lawyer.

 Sit down, Phil! he said.

Phil just smiled as he grabbed his things from overhead.

 If you don’t sit down right now, I’ll  

 You’ll do what?

 I’ll I’ll  

Still smiling, Phil turned, winked at me, mouthed,  Thanks , and walked to the rear of the plane.

Mr. Big’s face was red. He turned to me and said,  Do you see the kind of idiots I have to deal with? Then after a pause,  I’ll bet you 50 bucks that he’ll be back  he’ll be back before this plane touches down  he’ll be crawling back to me.

Phil stayed in coach, enjoyed the flight, and made plans for a new life.

The key ingredient to transforming your life is tapping into your inner power

What happened to Phil?

Well, two things.

First, he discovered something that few people know. And of those who know, only a handful understand how it works:

He learned that inside each of us is a power centre - the source of that powerful, driving force that, once unleashed, makes any vision, dream, or desire a reality.

The second thing he discovered is the most beneficial of all:

A simple way to unleash that power.

But here’s the interesting part

As you unleash that power, you’re entering your  peak state and are capable of achieving whatever you desire, with surprisingly little effort.

Your physical abilities multiply. Your mental abilities multiply. Your talents multiply. Your skills multiply. Everything you do, you will do that much better. Obstacles, the unknown, and doubt disappear. You perform the most difficult task, effortlessly.

Operate from your  peak state, and you’ll have more confidence, more self-esteem, more passion, and more enthusiasm. You’ll be at the top of your game, as they say.

Enter your  peak state and answers are instant and insightful. You see the higher purpose for your life. Old patterns and limiting beliefs vanish. For the first time in your life, you know what it means to be FREE! I mean Really Free!

In your  peak state you communicate distinctly. You look different. People perceive you as taller. Better looking. You glow.

Hope and chance are replaced with  by design. You know where you’re going, how you’re going to get there, and nothing can stop you.

Everyone doubts it works  until they try it.

 Something doesn’t sound right, people argue.  Are you saying that once you unleash the power inside you, you can accomplish anything?

Yes, anything! And without force. Without willpower. Without positive thinking. Without repetition of affirmations. Enter your  peak state and nothing will stand in your way.

I invite you to experience my live weekend event,  Unleash the Power Within , where you’ll discover how to identify what it is you really want, permanently break through any barriers that might be holding you back, dramatically increase your physical energy and mental clarity, and infuse passion into your daily life. Learn how that can happen for here.

Love and respect,

Memory Palace: Method of Loci

The method of loci, also called the memory palace, is a mnemonic device introduced in ancient Roman rhetorical treatises. It relies on memorized spatial (of or relating to facility in perceiving relation of objects) relationships to establish, order and recollect memorial content. The term is most often found in specialized works on psychology, neurobiology, and memory, though it was used in the same general way at least as early as the first half of the nineteenth century in works on rhetoric, logic, and philosophy.

Method of loci is also commonly called the mental walk. In simple terms, it is a method of memory enrichment which uses visualization to organize and recall information. Various memory contest champions claim to use this technique in order to recall faces, digits, and lists of words. These champions' successes have little to do with brain structure or intelligence, but more to do with their technique of using regions of their brain that have to do with spatial learning. These techniques can be learned and utilized by anyone and the younger the learner the more they have an opportunity to develop this skill into a habit.

To use the method of loci bring to mind a familiar building, such as your house. Take a moment to conduct a mental walk through the rooms in your house. Pay particular attention to the details, noticing any imperfections that make your mental images more vivid. Make sure you can move easily from one room to another.

Along your route create a list of "loci":i.e. well defined parts of the room that you can use later to memorize things. A locus can be a door, a bed, an oven, etc. Be sure that you can easily go from locus to locus as you visit the house.

Now, when you are faced with a list of words or ideas to be memorized, you must form visual images for each of the words and place them, in order, on the loci in your route. To recall the words or ideas now you take a mental walk throughout your house, asking yourself, "What is on the living-room door? What's on the bed? What's in the oven?" And so on.

Don't believe that it will work? Let's try! The list that I am about to give you has seven items on it. Before reading the list I want you to choose a place (like suggested above) that is very familiar to you. Got the place? Now imagine at least seven very distinct locations within your familiar place. Got it all? Good! Once you read the list assign the first item to the first location, the second item to the second location, and so on. Take a few moments to really visualize each item in each place.

1. Oranges
2. Bread
3. Chicken
4. Corn
5. Milk
6. Eggs
7. Pop

Now that you have each item assigned to a particular place do a final "walk trough" while vividly picturing your items and location. I'll wait... Got it? Ok, now grab pen and paper (uou will need it later), continue reading, and at the end we will see how well you remember!

The method of loci can be used for much more than simple single concept lists. It can also be used as something of a navigational map through more complex ideas which will come in handy for college students or those studying to give their current career a boost. You basically follow the same steps that I have listed, but instead of assigning single concept words to each location you will assign key words or phrases that are relatable to whatever it is that you are trying to learn.

Another important thing to keep in mind is that the method for memory described in this article is just one method. To fully develop your brains potential it is important to research all methods, find what works for you and use a combination of several methods and of course diet and exercise are vital!

Ready for recall? Without looking at the list given picture your house or building and begin your mental walk again. Can you remember? With your pen and paper recall all that you can from the list of items. Order is relevant since you wanted to match the items in order with the locations. However, to start just remembering all or most of the items is most important. When your list is complete reference it to the list above. Good Luck!

Could You Learn To Unleash The Power Within?

Anthony Robbins' flagship seminar, Unleash The Power Within (UPW), might seem like it's a scam at first glance. I was certainly skeptical when I heard about this program. According to Robbins, every one of us has a power inside that can help us attain our dreams, as long as we know how to use it.

If you think that sounds like a lot of new age mumbo jumbo, you're not alone, but there's truth to that statement, no matter how silly it might seem when you first encounter it. Most of us look outside ourselves for answers, but that gives away our power. What we need to do is learn to look inside ourselves to find the power we could be using to reach our fullest potential.

Unleash The Power Within is Anthony Robbins' flagship seminar for a reason. Take a look at it to see what it could do for you. It can tell you a lot about the powers you aren't using to your fullest.

Did you know that what you believe could be holding you back? Lots of what happens to us, as well as the majority of things we do are based on the things that we believe about ourselves. These stories we tell ourselves are the thing that's holding so many of us back, because they bring insecurity, fear and doubt along with them.

No one should have to be a victim of their own stories. I've learned how to examine by beliefs and expand my sense of self worth to become a person with greater productivity and drive to succeed, as well as a better self image. It might not be the easiest path to follow, but I'd be pretty suspicious of any problem that says it has a magic fix.

Many people have changed their lives based on what they've learned from Anthony Robbins' UPW, allowing them to start their dream businesses, get out of debt, and make their lives better in general. There's more than thirty years of experience based around this seminar, and all of that experience can be a big help to us.

This is a seminar that helps people redesign their lives, instead of just leaving everything up to hope and change. We can forget the patterns we've locked ourselves into for most of our lives. Changing what goes on outside really can't happen until we've managed to change ourselves inside.

If you've been feeling like you're going nowhere, maybe you just need to discover how to use your inner power. Take a look at Unleash The Power Within to find out how to do that. Even if you're still not certain, you should take the time to find out more so you can make your own decisions.

Self Help Techniques For Self Development

There was once an old farmer in America's deep South, Who Struggled everyday to make ends meet. When The Oil Companies started to drill for oil in the communities surrounding his land, He was approached but refused them permission to drill. He didnt want his neighbours and fellow farmers to consider him desperate and willing to give up his core business for a chance for a quick return. However,the oil companies kept asking him and, eventually, after a particularly bad harvest, He Agreed. The Test driiling gave some good results, so they bore a hole and set up a well.Which was known as Spindle Top.

Apparently When you strike Oil, It blows the top off 'the derrick'. When Spindle Top Struck oil It destroyed 'The Derrick'. At that time is was the biggest Oil Find in American History. The Farmer became A Multimillionaire.

Here's the message. The Farmer was already a multimillionaire. He had been walking across millions of dollars of assets every single day of his life. His father had been wlking across millions of dollars of assets everyday. The diffrence came about when the farmer was persuaded to take action.

So the question is Do You Have A Spindle Top? What success story lies beneath you just waiting to be drilled and taken to market? What Are you missing because you cannot get out of bed early enough or drag yourself away from the Tv? If You Think 'If i knew i had a 'Spindle Top' I Would Find all the motivation i needed to get to work, You'd be correct and you'd flourish right up to the first challenge; And then what would happen. People who are motivated get things done, they find a way and they create energy.

One of the primary reasons people lack motivation is they believe they dont have the energy. Now Notice i said 'believe' they don't have the energy. Your Body and mind is amazing it stores energy. So even when you think your tired there is still loads of energy reserved. The Key is that when you think you cant change that is the moment you need to change? Say I Must, then physically move, give your fingers a wiggle, feet a shake, stand up and move around. Your mind and thoughts work in exactly the same way.Because the real key to motivation is to find a big enough reason 'WHY'Just think for one secound and see if you can think of the top three things that really motivate you in life.

Personal Self Development - Coaching Yourself

The fact that you are reading this article probably means that you have an interest in your own personal development.

You may have come to the realization that you only have one life and a very finite time to make use of it and that you are the architect of your own destiny.

Certainly the fastest way to learn and achieve anything is to elicit the guidance of a mentor or coach. Their experience and knowledge will shortcut a lot of the trial and error that you will go through in reaching your goals.

However, if you would rather guide your own personal development by way of coaching yourself you must first consider what advantages, benefits and roles that a life coach would provide. By identifying these you can acquire the knowledge and resources necessary.

The main advantages and benefits of a coach are:

1) Provision of information and advice.
2) Plan development and goal setting assistance.
3) Accountability.
4) Assistance in overcoming obstacles.
5) Also it is often difficult to ascertain your real personal development needs when coaching yourself as it requires a thorough and critical self evaluation. That is certainly the value of a good coach as they have trained to present a program of progressive development.

You can overcome all of these issues by implementing a few simple strategies in your own personal development strategy.

First though I would like you to understand that a complete holistic personal development program should include and strive to develop the following areas of your life:

1) The emotional self; self esteem, self confidence, motivation to name a few.

The first place that any personal development strategy should start is ensuring that your self esteem is strong. Since all decision making is controlled by emotions we must develop our emotional selves with a strong sense of self acceptance and self appreciation.

Accept your failures as just feedback, learn to handle criticism; if it is constructive learn from it, if it is destructive dismiss it by acknowledging that it is all about them (the critic) not about you.

Learn to self evaluate yourself without criticism, look constructively at yourself and move on.

2) The intellect and knowledge base.

Knowledge is power and gives us the ability to achieve our goals. The fuel that drives you along the path of personal development is knowledge. When coaching yourself you must develop a disciplined approach to acquiring knowledge.

The internet has made available a huge resource for sourcing personal development information by way of blogs, DVDs, CDs, discussion groups, online courses and websites, this makes information readily available and very affordable.

To get the most from these resources constantly review the information, strive to get a full comprehension and understanding and always check the accuracy of the source material by looking for peer reviewed references.

3) The physical self; diet, exercise, life enhancing habits.

Eat well and reduce the stress in your life. Learn to meditate and ensure that you get adequate rest and sleep to recharge yourself. Avoid cigarettes, drugs and excess alcohol. Develop a consistent exercise regime; if you are unaccustomed to hard exercise start slow and gradually increase the intensity as it is the intensity that pays the biggest dividends.

4) The spiritual self.

Develop a comfortable relationship with yourself, the world and the universe. Whatever your belief system be comfortable with it and live it, however, if it doesn't seem right then feel OK about moving on and experiencing some other way, remember it is your life. Do to others as you would have them do to you.

5) Relationships.

In order to fully realize your own personal development you must look at your relationships, the people you associate with, and develop relationships that are positively motivating and that grow you.

Surround yourself with supportive and positive people and groups. They will enrich your life and open up doors for you.

6) The wealth area of your life.

In order to free you from the constant battle to acquire the basic needs of shelter, food, clothing and security you need money in this world. The amount of money is relative the life-style you wish to lead and the location you choose to live in. Develop a strict regime for living within your means and invest wisely in your future.

Once you have an understanding of the areas discussed above set goals and develop step by step plans to reach them. By having a target to aim for we are better equipped to determine what resources and information are necessary to reach it.

Develop a disciplined regime to follow and stick to the plan. Set yourself goals short, medium and long term. Always ascertain the cost of achieving the goal so that you can make sure that you are prepared to pay the price for achieving it.

We really work best when we are in line with our values and our passions. We can determine these by asking ourselves what we value the most in life and what are we truly passionate about. Write down the first 7-10 answers and then compare them with each other by asking yourself if you could have all of one and none of the other which would you choose. Compare each answer to the others and put the highest value at the top and list the rest down to the least valuable at the bottom. This exercise will really get to your core values.

Here are a few additional tips that you should implement in your program of personal development when coaching yourself:

Learn to listen and read actively. Don't just hear the words or look at them think about what is being communicated, question it and fully comprehend the meaning. Learn to think between the words and to get to the real essence behind the information.

Appreciate yourself for your successes; keep a success journal and review it constantly.

Take personal responsibility and accountability for yourself and your actions.

Above all take action; all the talk, training, going to seminars will get you nowhere unless you take action. One of the ways to overcome procrastination is to just start to do something, by starting we tend to keep going.

Paying attention to these simple guidelines will go a long way in assisting you in coaching yourself in your personal development.

What Does Your Dream Life Look Like?

Every child has been asked what they wanted to be when they grew up. And more often than not, they had responded with "doctor," or "lawyer," or "movie star." It would always be some stereotype of success. It would always be something that was prevalent in both school books and popular media. Did you describe your dream life the same way when you were young? Don't be ashamed if you have; it's not your fault this information has been drilled into you from the start.

However, this doesn't mean that you should conform to such ideals. So what if that's what your parents or teachers wanted of you? Is that really what you want for yourself? You have your own unique perspective on life and the world you live in. The best life you could possibly live, then, is something you conjured up in your own mind. What do other people have to do with it?

So, ask yourself: what really is your dream life anyway? What does it look like? Chances are, it incorporates the elements of life you personally enjoy the most. It is a life that you maintain entirely on your own terms, one that you have complete control over. It is the kind of existence where your success depends on doing the things you love, and nothing else.

Still stumped? Think long and hard. If you had the chance to do only one thing for the rest of your days, what would it be? Forget your current obligations. Don't take your job, finances, or family into consideration. Whatever that thing is, be it cooking haute cuisine or building houses by hand, that is your dream life. That is what you should be pursuing.

Do you really want to waste away your precious time on Earth with your crappy job? When you feel that you should be doing something other than what you're doing now, then why don't you do it? There is no reason for you to stunt your growth as a person. There is no reason for you to stick to lame excuses. You know they're lame to begin with!

A man who slaves away day and night for a job he hates but still takes home millions of dollars is not a success. A man who makes the same income with a career he loves is the true success. By pursuing your dream life, you can be the latter man.

What's stopping you, then? Now that you know what your true goals are, you should go out there and fulfill them. Now that you have a better understanding of what your priorities should be, then the next step should be to avoid procrastination. The best life is an active life. There is no fairy godmother out there who can help you kick things off. In fact, you are your very own fairy godmother, and you have all the power in the world to make your wish come true. No matter the situation, you can only earn true success if you were responsible for your actions from the very beginning.

Choosing Positive Self-Talk to Conquer Any Ambition

Do you feel as if you may be constantly talking yourself out of achieving success? The instant you begin to set in place aims for yourself, do you suddenly have nagging feelings about how you aren't capable of the task or how you just aren't qualified to carry it on?

If you have ever before gone through either scenario, you have got to shift how you answer to your internal dialogue. Rather than obeying your destructive commands, you can use positive self-talk to resist the negativity and beat virtually all stressed thoughts.

Preparing Goals and Sticking with Them using Positive Self-Talk

Are you, at first, full of enthusiasm when you first set goals for yourself? Are all of these thoughts then followed by uncertainty and self-defeating thoughts that stop you in your tracks well before you even make a start?

It can be very difficult to get the most from yourself when you are always talking yourself out of becoming successful. It is disheartening and discouraging, to have all these feelings always plaguing you. A lot of us, believe it or not, don't even realise we have them! All we know is that we don't have the self-assurance to follow our plans and arrive at our ambitions.

However there's another way!

Positive self-talk is a highly effective way to set aims and make sure you adhere to them, even when you've never been able to do this in the past. The way this works is that you figure out what goal is very important to you, and you plan the logistics of how you're likely to attain this goal. When self-doubt starts kicking in, you will react with statements and affirmations that establish your achievement while not giving up to the destructive stress. Seeing that you're reading through this page, it's very clear that you're no quitter and you're most certainly not a failure, so begin believing in your self!

Re-Programming Your Mind

Affirmations are, in essence, positive statements that re-program your mind for the positive. The instant you have a self-defeating thought you'd be ready to counter the negative with an encouraging affirmation. An example of a positive affirmation is: "I'm deserving of great achievement," or "I see myself in the champion's circle." What this does is replace negativity with thought processes which will assist you to move toward your goals instead of further removed from them.

Positive self-talk is much easier to implement than you might believe. You might not be aware of the extent of the negative talk presently in your mind. Yet, as soon as you start off with positive self-talk, you are going to all of a sudden realize that you're self-sabotaging the goals you set for yourself right from the moment that you make them. This practice can open up your eyes to just how much this inner dialogue has been interfering with your life. You'll really feel confident that you can now set targets and exceed them.

Through positive self-talk you'll be able to very easily set long and short-term goals for your self. And as soon as you use affirmations, you'll possess accessible tools to help you to propel yourself further than ever before. Learning to hush negative thoughts with positive thoughts is a superb move towards setting up and attaining long term goals in no time.
