Tall Strong & Ready to Go As If

Tall Strong & Ready to Go As If

Act As If is one of the most powerful – easy to say hard to do – mental recommendations out there.

I love it –  and wonder at the same time if I am fooling myself when I do it.  The gig is that you Act As If What you Want has already happened.

 The energy you create by truly believing you have achieved your goal – well not only achieved it but you are living in the successful after glow…  that energy you emit is grateful, appreciative, happy, confident.. Super kick ass.  You just celebrate with every part of your being that you have Won.

Winning.

 That shifts your perspective- your brain doesn’t know the difference between actually accomplishing something or thinking that you have.

Cliff Notes –  you use your brain to convince yourself that you Have.

Sounds easy enough but the real catch is You Have To Believe it.

Period.

Actually.

Literally.

You can’t double revers flea flicker trick yourself by saying you are all  about celebrating your accomplishment (that hasn’t technically happened yet)  and at the same time acknowledge somewhere inside you that it hasn’t  happened. You will jinx yourself from the magic of “Act As If”.

You can fool your brain, but you can not fool your mind. while listening to the flow.

Visualization Below The Surface

Visualization Below The Surface

Visualization is one of the great tools that is about seeing where you want to go- and it helps you get there- but its not as easy as it sounds.

Seeing is not always believing.

Especially when it mean you see it in your mind but not in the world around you.

Of course, when things pan out and you say “Whoa, no way I was so thinking that last week and I am getting a crazy déjà vu” = that is in fact something that happened in real time… Whoa. Cool .

 Yea I like magic and party tricks too. David Copperfield is killer and don’t you spoil it for me with the answers! I will live in  my own limited reality there to enjoy it thank you very much.

But visualization as a means to larger life changing impact, is a whole other level.

I believe very much in the power of changing your mind to change your life. It works.  I will have more posts later to continue to back this up but today’s photo, the waders and boots under the river flow, are the focus of the post.  I use this image to imagine and remind me of the feeling of fishing. Even  if you don’t fly fish, you can visualize your own version of the scene.

The thickness of the water makes walking through space more tangible.  Each step feels like an intentional movement. It is not difficult, but it is now noticeable. I am moving forward.     

Calm. Purposeful. Intentional. Without analysis.

Quiet .  Listening to the flow.  Watching the current. Moving in the direction of the flow.

The Double Reverse Flea Flicker Series- The Retrospective

The Double Reverse Flea Flicker Series- The Retrospective

Pondering today the idea of looking back.. Short term, medium or long term.. Feeling this might fit into the category I created earlier called the Double Reverse Flea Flicker of mental game planning. 

A loose take on a footballer term – as noted earlier, I am not into football but it filters in.

My understanding is that the  Double Reverse Flea Flicker fakes out the other team and double backs in the most unexpected way.

Getting into the ‘retrospective mode” might do that… Looking back …. Maybe  sending your energy in the exact opposite way from your desires?

 In the Flea Flicker in football, it works when they trick the other team to score but in the mind game world you can’t fool yourself.  You own both end zones.

You don’t want to look back to judge or feel loss or revel in days of success even that are long gone.. The ol’  cliché of the guy reliving the glory days of the touchdowns … how does that make him feel about today’s moment in time? Probably not that great.. Not sure where there is the win there. 

Being in the ‘now’ or living the movement is a pretty tired phrase that is intangible, but today’s thought is that it might be easier to attain by letting go of looking back.

The Awe Factor

The Awe Factor

Super inspirational study found that shows something  we can feel inherently as true but now scientists validate us! Yea!

“Awe”.. That feeling of wonderment and kinda mini mind blowing overwhelm you feel when seeing something so beautiful or so amazing,  magical or majestic you can’t really get your head around it.   That moment in time – is really good for you!

Some common examples would be in nature – huge mountains, amazing clouds, the horizon across the ocean…    but it can also be philosophical insight, scientific wonder  or the inspiration found when hearing or seeing another human do something just mind blowing. Kindness. Compassion.  You know those rare moments when you say ok maybe I shouldn’t wear that shirt that says “I love my dog more than people”. Or wait maybe I still do.

So back to the science, dogs aside.  Stories were collected from all over the world and get this! The words like “whoa” and “wow” were recognized across cultures. Super cool

To me one of the more interesting finds:  “Awe” stimulates a shift in the immune system. Cytokines are chemical messengers that signal the immune system to work harder. They are important for a pro-inflammatory response to kill pathogens and heal wounds. Several positive emotions, such as joy and love, lowered levels of the cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6), an indicator of inflammation levels.

However, the greatest predictor of reduced cytokine levels, up to three times more than joy, was the feeling of awe.

Wow. I feel better already. Going to go out and look for magic moments of awe-yeah.
