About Me

This blog is where you will watch my progress as I strive to meet my goals. I decided to write this instead of keeping a diary, as I think it is better to boldly state my intentions publicly, so that I can be held accountable! For more about me, see About Me link

Committing to Exercises…

Written by Tim on Apr 29th, 2009 | Filed under: Daily Posts

OK, despite my initial optimism about the future, this morning I woke up wishing I could just go back to sleep.  The nature of my work is that I work when the phone rings.  Of course, I could always go out and do some marketing work… but that has never been my strong asset.

To get kick started today (I needed it), I listened to my Karim Hajee audio track.  There are exercises in these audio courses, today he is telling me to confront my “great deceiver” (my conscious mind) and write down all the things that my mind is telling me I will fail.  Does that sound familiar?  Talking yourself out of success?

Another thing these audio tapes tell me is that sometimes the best time to do these exercises is when I least feel like doing them.  That is why I am writing them down now in this blog.  Because I don’t really feel like it.  That will be the hard part for you too, dear reader, is breaking the old habit of letting yourself off the hook.

If you are trying to break some of your bad habits, I urge you to click through to some of the links in the sidebar at the right of the screen, Bill Harris, Karim Hajee, Eckhart Tolle, John Assaraf, and Deepak Chopra, and see what these men have to teach you.  If you can’t be bothered to to that, then you aren’t really motivated to succeed or improve your life.  So go right now, and check out these enlightened men.  They are all teaching much the same thing, which is to CHANGE YOUR THINKING.  You can change your thinking, but it won’t be easy and you are going to need help.  It is my hope that reading this blog will encourage you as you watch my own struggles.

BTW, I did not go for a run today as I had planned, a buddy called and I went skiing instead (it costs me nothing, I volunteered for a pass and can ski as much as I like).

Be well.
