Self
Improvement Ideas? Trust Your Gut!
"Who knows what's best for you? ..."You do! "Learn
to trust your own intuition." Well so says Lynn Robinson - bestselling
author and one of the self
help authors that impressed me most, as I researched this website. And
who are you and I to disagree?
Self improvement ideas
- what I say...What Lynn means in this self improvement ideas article
I think is that life is probably too short to read hundreds of self help books
filled with their often complicated ideas - and she should know, she's a self-confessed
self-help junkie! Instead, concentrate on a few simple self improvement
ideas (distilled from these many books), put them into practice and enjoy your
life! And I think I have to agree with her. (Life's probably too
short to visit yet yet
another self help website, but seeing as you're here... ;-) ) Do
let us know what you think of Lynne's ideas! Thanks Lynn (over to you)... NOTE:
Oh, before that I'd just like to say this! The thing is, trusting your gut and
finding your passion is exactly what these ordinary people did when they created
these self improvement sites using
a service called Site
Build It! Many of these people knew nothing about creating a website before
they started, they just had a passion for self help and wanted to communicate
it (a bit like me :-) ). Now they're earning an extra income from their websites
(some even make a full-time income). Isn't that true self-help or self improvement
ideas that work, even? Now I'm sure you have a passion, even if it's not
self-help related, and I'm sure you'd love to express yourself like these people
have, and maybe even make some money out of doing so. Well, you can! If you just
trust in yourself (and Site Build It!) and you find
your passion.... Now it's over to Lynn's self improvement ideas...
Trust
Your Gut and Find Your PassionSelf improvement ideas - what Lynn Robinson,
M.Ed says...I'm a true fan of self-help books. I grab them off the book
store shelves and read them as soon as they come out. I keep a stack of five or
six of them by my bed and read them before going to sleep at night. I think some
of them are filled with ideas that are far too complex to fit into your daily
life -- unless you have nothing else to do! Following is my distillation of some
of these ideas, but with an intuitive spin on them. What do you love
to do? -- Successful people pay attention to what they feel passionate about.
They commit to spending time each day doing what they love. For some it's a job
that pays. For others it may be volunteer work or simply a hobby. Begin to notice
when you feel excited about something. That's a clue about what to pursue. Practice
Gratitude -- Ample evidence exists that you get what you focus on. Do you
often whine and complain about what you don't have and ignore the abundance all
around you? Begin to notice and appreciate what you attract easily into your life.
Perhaps you have a healthy body, or a wonderful group of close friends. Notice
small things around you -- the new flower that has emerged in your garden, the
sound of your cat's purr, the laughter of a child or the beauty of freshly fallen
snow. Before you know it, abundance in all forms will begin to flow into your
life. Trust your inner wisdom -- People who believe in trusting their
intuition tend to be more successful in life. It doesn't appear to matter how
they receive this information, whether it's through an image, sudden insight,
a dream or just an old-fashioned "gut feeling." Learn to pay attention
to how you receive these impressions for yourself and check often in with your
inner "Intuitive Success Coach." Acknowledge your achievements
-- How often have you worked really hard to attain a goal and then never gave
yourself credit for your achievements. I keep a running list of things I've accomplished
each day, each month and each year. If you do this you'll probably discover you've
created more successes in your life than you had previously imagined. Success
builds on itself. Practice positive self talk -- I can't stress this
one enough. What you say to yourself on a regular basis becomes what you experience
in your life. Become aware of the inner dialog you have going on with yourself.
Request guidance if you need help with this. One client asked in prayer, "Please
guide my thoughts, my words and my actions. I wish to think, speak and act with
love." She was astonished at the difference this simple affirmation made. Choose
to be happy -- Research has shown that happiness is a choice. It is not necessarily
dependent on life circumstances. There is always a positive and a negative aspect
to any change that occurs in your life, but it's your choice to select your focus.
Get in the habit of asking, "What's good about this situation?" When
you continually select that way of viewing the world, you will discover that happiness
finds you! Intuition Exercise: Trusting the Process -- Your intuition
is present in your life to help you create a life you love. When you take the
time to check in, listen, and act on the guidance you receive you will always
be led in the right direction. Begin to acknowledge the presence of this wise
counsel. See which one of the following statements or questions work for you whenever
you need intuitive information. - "I know what's best for me."
- "Things are falling into place." - "What do I need
right now?" - "Everything is working out." - "The
wisdom I need will come to me as I need it." - "What outcome feels
best right now?" - "What is the best outcome in this situation?"
- "What is the most (loving, spirit-filled, forgiving, wise) decision
right now?" Your job is to: Ask. Trust. Receive the answer through
thoughts, images, feelings, words, and knowings. Act on the wisdom you receive. ----------------------------------------------------
