TOMORROW (noun): A Mystical Land

TOMORROW (noun): a mystical land where 99% of all human productivity, motivation and achievement is stored.

Let’s imagine that it’s 11 pm right now. Pretty much the end of the day is over, you’ve settled down for the night and you have to work or go to school tomorrow morning.

But… something is on your mind. It’s very clear to you or it’s shrouded; yet something is a little off nonetheless. Hmm, what is it? Could it be meditating before going to sleep? Polishing up your website? Working on your business plan? Maybe, just maybe it could be writing that chapter for your book? Of course you can do it tomorrow. I mean, come on, it’s late, tomorrow is another day and you’re tired.

But… you know as well as I do that today will be just another day ending with excuses, procrastination and a lack of fulfillment. Plus you will probably have another restless night thinking about the very thing that lights up your soul. Just know that you have the POWER OF CHOICE on your side. I truly believe that.

How about you get up RIGHT NOW and get to work on that project or that painting. Perhaps it’s exercising for 10 minutes or writing a poem. Who cares?! JUST START and see where it leads you. This is a GREAT OPPORTUNITY to be consistent if you haven’t, or to get started. Know that all you have is NOW. Tomorrow will always be tomorrow, forever seducing us with ‘maybes’ and a false sense of hope. “There’s never a good time to start. There’s always… a great time to start.” – Geo Malave

It’s Not What You’re Looking At, It’s What You See

It’s not what you’re looking at, it’s what you see – #GeoMalave

We don’t only look with our eyes, we project with them also; we project defeat, doubt… or assurance and compassion.

When you look at yourself in the mirror or contemplate who you are, who do you see? Perhaps you have accomplished a lot in life, have shown to be brave or that you’re a good mother. But do you ‘see’ those qualities or focus on areas where you have come up short? Are you accustomed to being your own worst critique? If so, try the activities below so you an break this vicious cycle.

1) Read life enriching books in the morning and before bed. These types of books will inspire and help you with new and positive perspectives. Authors I recommend are Robin Sharma and Jeff Goins.

2) Meditate for 10 minutes in the morning. This practice will get your day started on the right foot. MindValley.com offers really good meditation material. @MindValley @Vishen

3) Affirmations: right after meditation, say 2 – 3 affirmations 10x in a row. Make sure you’re alone and use a moderate voice level. You can be playful with it. Try these out [a] ‘I’m the shiznit (i.e. the best or great) because I said so’ (you can lol after each one) [b] ‘I’m inherently brilliant, no doubt about it’, [c] ‘I’m unique and absolutely beautiful!’. Be ok with feeling weird or cheesy during your affirmations.

4) Be Intentional: create your intent for the day. Many of us are routine in our lives, merely slumping throughout our days. How about you create 3 things to focus on that will inspire you and make you feel better about yourself. Start with (a) calling a friend who is positive or funny, (b) decluttering your office or bedroom and (c) acknowledging someone for helping you.

5) Surround yourself with positive people. Seems simple, but we don’t do this enough. Call 1 – 3 people right now and set up a day/time to hang out. Their energy will uplift you. Value yourself and avoid difficult people.

You always have the POWER OF CHOICE on your side. You ‘can’ choose to love yourself and cultivate this self-love everyday.

So… what do you see?

THINGS WRITERS NEED TO KNOW

There are two things that a writer needs to know before reading this book: One: that he or she doesn’t need to be licensed, registered or certified to become a writer. If you have one hand, pen and paper (or keyboard), then you can write. And with today’s advancements, you can use recording technology to transcribe your audible words into digital ones, making the writing process easier. The second thing you need to know is that it’s all made up: mystery thrillers, encyclopedias, history books, science fiction – it’s all a work of the writer’s creativity; no matter how fanciful or steeped in facts, it’s put together as a work of creation. Our words (written or spoken) are acts of imagination. Think of a fiction series that fans rave about. “Omg, you gotta read ABC series, it’s that good. Once you start, you can’t stop. I’m telling you.” And that series is nothing but made up stories of characters and scenes that never existed and never will exist. It’s just one lone writer (or writers) who contrived a fantastic story from their imagination for your entertainment. This is done over and over again and readers fall for it every time. Now before you go and create an avalanche of duped readers with your bestselling book, remember that you have permission to write by virtue of having at least one hand or recording device. And know that you have the right as anyone else to have fun and create with your imagination whatever it is you want to create. Read on and have fun.
