This is what writing is all about and certainly why I wrote my book. To get responses like this completely makes my day. Thanks Aina. 🙂

Transformation

Hiya,

We have been through the Re-formation age – the dictionary describes that as:

“Improving, altering for the better.”

We are journeying through the In-formation age – the dictionary describes that as:

“Knowledge communicated.”

Are we now ready for the Trans-formation age? – the dictionary describes that as:

“Change through Action.”

Are you ready to take action to Trans-form your life? If you don’t, what do you expect to happen? Do you think it’ll magically change on its own? We are entering a new era. The Information age has enabled us to create the Transformation we desire with greater speed than ever before.

There is an almost tangible awakening to personal potential happening everywhere. The tools, strategies, techniques, instruction, teachings and help of every kind are readily available. Often they are right in front of our noses.

Take action for your own Transformation today.

Enjoy

Are you too old to change?

Hiya,

Some people have questioned whether they are too old to read my book because it might be too late for them to change. Rather than try and convince them or you that you’re never too old to change I thought I’d post the story of Burt Goldman from p.291 of the book…

“Burt Goldman is about 84 years old (at the time of writing this). In his life he has travelled the world and studied under many masters of thought. He has an online community with hundreds of thousands of subscribers that turns over millions of dollars each year.

He is also an award winning photographer and prolific artist that sells his paintings for thousands of dollars each. He also plays the piano and writes his own music – well he is 84 after all, he’s had a long time to achieve all these things.

Except…

He only started when he turned 80!

That’s right, at the ripe old age of 80 Burt decided to turn his mind to achieving things he’d been thinking about for a long time but never got around to. Thankfully he had been training his mind for many decades and therefore knew how to apply himself to each goal.

Guess what? So can You.

That’s right – it’s never too late to learn something new or apply something you know. It just takes the desire to do so. So if one of your excuses is: ‘it’s too late for you’ – take a lesson from Burt, the moment you take your last breath is when it’s actually too late.”

So, now what do you think?

What is this book about and why did I write it?

Hiya,

A few people have asked me: ‘So, what’s the book about anyway?‘

So today I’ve decided to post an excerpt from the book that answers that very question, if you’ve been wondering the same thing please take the opportunity today to read this opening chapter which will hopefully give you an insight into why I wrote it and how to use it.

Revisit my pst blog posts that start with the words: ‘Take the opportunity today to…’ which are also pages from the book. There are 365 in the book so what you’ll find in the archives here only scratch the surface.

FIRST CHAPTER

We all want to change our lives for the better in some way shape or form, me included. If however you’re prone to saying things like: ‘My life would be better if my boss this or that’ or ‘My life would be better if my mother this or that’ or ‘My life would be better if my friends this or that’ or ‘My life would be better if the government this or that’ – then let me tell you something – nothing is going to change in your life for the better whilst you continue to blame others for your circumstances. I’m not saying that they didn’t have a hand in your circumstances, I’m saying only YOU can decide to change your circumstances for the better. STOP complaining and start being different so you can do things differently.

I’ve read books and taken coaching programs and experienced hypnotherapy and NLP therapy in the past – all of which have helped me figure out how to change things about myself which in turn have helped change my circumstances. Have they taken a lot of time and effort – yes! Did it take a process of continual searching (which is still ongoing) to find these influences – yes! Will this book act as a substitute for all that – possibly, but probably not. But what it will do is get you moving in the right direction from day one. Think of this book as complimentary to any and every other self improvement course or therapy available. As you continue on your own journey of self improvement allow the guides in this book to perpetually encourage you forwards. You may look back in the future and decide that something written here was the turning point.

This book started off as a series of Tweets – “Take the opportunity today to hug someone you love, just for the hell of it! :)”. That was the first one, then out came another and another and pretty soon I was thinking of them every day. As the days ticked on I found myself thinking of more and more opportunities, each one having the possibility to change my life on that day, sometimes in a small way, sometimes in a BIG way. Eventually I decided to do one a day for an entire year and document my experiences in a journal.

This book is, in part, that journal. Each day that passed I tried to apply one thing, one opportunity to make a difference. Sometimes just to myself, and other times to those around me. Sometimes to complete strangers. I then documented how that affected me, how it changed me, my attitudes, my beliefs, fears, anxieties and so on. Each day that I successfully completed a task I wrote down how I actually applied the ‘guide’, then how it made me feel and in some cases what actually happened because of it.

It’s tempting from time to time to think we need to make a big change in our lives, we can feel it building up as we resist it with our inaction. But maybe the biggest change can come about as a result of the accumulation of lots of little changes.

“The truth be told, success typically follows a series of little events and achievements that can seem to take an eternity, that include a few disappointments along the way, and that challenge everything about you to the core – your stamina, courage, integrity, and even your willingness to keep going.” – Jack Canfield

Don’t get the idea that I think that I now have the perfect life – I don’t, nobody does, it’s a work in progress. And that’s the key word ‘progress’, if you’re not making progress, if you’re not improving your life piece by piece – you’ll stagnate. If it’s because you’re not sure how, then apply these guides and I promise they WILL make a difference and that difference will be an improvement in some way shape or form.

Let me be clear right at the start though – I am not a doctor, I am not a psychiatrist, I am not a therapist or a life coach. I’m just a normal, everyday person like you. So if I can make a change in my life without studying some complicated therapeutic system or going through a lengthy self analysis process, then so can you. This book is simply a set of practical ideas – easy to implement (although some will take a lot of courage or tenacity), and repeatable over and over again. By applying these guides you will feel more in control. Control of your actions; as you decide which guides to try, more control of your emotions; as you’ll feel a certain way before deciding to act, and ultimately more control of your life; as you begin to see the consequences of those actions.

I have met many people that moan about the world at large, about the government, about the local council and when I suggest they do something about it they say: “What can I do? I’m only one person.” This portrays the feeling of helplessness. Of a lack of control of our environment or circumstances. These feelings of being helpless can lead to feelings of depression, unhappiness, low self esteem, a lack of confidence and inadequacy. By taking control of our lives, even in small ways at first, we can potentially reverse the fall towards those negative feelings. By stepping outside of our comfort zone we give ourselves the opportunity to see that we make a difference. Once we see that on the small scale we tend to start seeing it on a larger and larger scale. I urge you now to take more control of your life.

Chaos theory, otherwise known as the Butterfly Effect suggests that the tiniest of changes can have dramatic repercussions, so don’t try and second guess what effect your actions will have, you’ll notice it as it happens.

I hope that you will decide to apply these guides to your own life and see how it affects you and possibly those around you. Keep a journal of your experiences and I guarantee that at some point during the year you WILL notice changes happening in your life. Try to resist the urge to skip ahead and do more than one a day, in my experience the biggest changes happened when I tried to apply just one idea throughout the whole day. And if I managed to complete it really easily then I spent the rest of the day pondering it and how it made me feel. This is an important part of the process so please, don’t rush ahead. Instead take each day as it comes – a bit like life really. 🙂 I would even go as far as to suggest that you resist even looking ahead to what challenges are coming and just surrender to them as you find them each day – afresh!

Use this little book each day to help you make the small changes in your life that could eventually become a major shift in your life experience. The number one quickest sure fire way to experience something is to enable someone else to experience it (Neale Donald Walsch said something like that!). And he was right! That’s why many of the daily guides are about doing things for other people. Some are simple and will only take 5 minutes, others will require some deep thought, others courage and determination. There’s no telling which will make the biggest impact, so try them all – you will be pleasantly surprised. Go out of your way, make the effort and you will feel happier, more fulfilled, more powerful and more love in your life. I urge you, before you start, do them in order. The first initial few are designed to ease you in to a frame of mind of love, compassion, service and forgiveness. From there you’ll find many of the others will be easier to take on. Rush ahead and you might find the emotional resources you need to carry out some of the opportunities are not readily available.

Take the time to think about each guide throughout that particular day and you will find that the opportunity will reveal itself. Take this book with you bookmarked on the day and refer to it constantly – this will remind you to keep looking for the opportunity to reveal itself. Otherwise you go out in the morning with the best intentions, the day starts to get hectic and before you know it you come home without having thought about it once – and the day is gone!

At one point I thought about ‘choosing’ an opportunity from the list each day but decided that if one day I was feeling particularly lazy I’d choose an easy one. Sounds like a good idea at first doesn’t it? Trouble is, I realised that if I chose them on the day, I wouldn’t give myself the opportunity to be challenged that day. Imagine I wake up a bit cranky, it happens to us all right? and I go to the list and find that that day’s task is to dig deep and find forgiveness for someone, I might find that reeeeaaally hard. But that’s the challenge. We can all forgive people if we’re in a good mood – the challenge and opportunity to grow lies in finding that forgiveness when we’re feeling like a bear with a sore head. So I arranged the opportunities in a semi random way – some simple ones then some hard ones, some to do with others followed by some to do with myself and so on.

I hope you can find the strength to follow them in sequence for no other reason than doing things we don’t want to do, when we don’t want to do them can actually be the catalyst for the greatest change in our life. But don’t get stressed if you really can’t find the time to complete a task on the day – this is supposed to help you not hinder you. At the end of each month you’ll be prompted to look back through the month and revisit any you may have missed.

Before you start, this short exercise might help too – write a list of things you are happy with about your life right now. Then write a list of things you would like to change. It might be something about your circumstances, it might be something about yourself. This will give you a clearer idea of what your life ‘could’ look like. Obviously, at this stage you won’t know what will change but these lists will give you an insight and help you identify changes as they happen. At the end of this journey we’ll make these lists again and compare them with the first, I don’t know about you but I get excited just thinking about that day.

At the end of each month you’ll be given the opportunity to make a note of any changes you might have experienced over the previous 30 days. Incrementally your attitude, habits, relationships and life experience will alter. At first it might be difficult to notice but as you become accustomed to looking a little closer you will notice them.

“ Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.” – Robert Collier

Hiya,

I thought I’d indulge and share some of the photos from my book launch.

It was held in the Library Room of my local country pub near Windsor,

And the chair I sat and signed books in, is the chair that I often wrote and made notes about the book when I needed to get away from the office for a while – over a couple of pints (they lubricate the ideas!).

It was a great day and I thank all those that turned up and made it a brilliant occasion.

My cousin thought that the cake was a hard back version of the book and tried to open it!! 🙂

Do You Even Know What’s Holding You Back?

Hiya,

Today I wanted to ask if you ever get the feeling that you could achieve more if you just knew HOW.

Do you have a default emotion when you are feeling stressed or depressed or demotivated?

Do you feel Angry? Sad? Hopeless? Resentful?

All of these emotions can be valid in certain circumstances but they are unhealthy if felt regularly and as a default.

Do you understand WHY you feel these emotions at the times you do? And I don’t mean someone let you down and now you’re angry with them, I mean WHY are you angry?

If you want to delve into those questions a bit deeper I’ve created some online video training to celebrate the launch of my book:

“How To Change Your Life One Day At A Time”

and it’s absolutely Free!

Just go here:  http://www.howtochangeyourlifeonedayatatime.com/
