Everything Else!

Mental Masterbation, Now do something!

Everyone has wants, needs and desires.

Now Do Something!

If you want something better in your life do something.

Thoughts without action produces no change.

Plans with no action creates no change.

Wishing with no action produces no change.

Observing others with no action produces no change.

Study and education with no action produces no change.

Affirmations with no action produces no change.

Therapy with no action produces no change.

Spiritual seeking with no action produces no change.

Several years ago, I worked in Naples Florida with Fred Wass. It was while listening to one of his presentations that I first heard the term Mental Masturbation.

The phrase described exactly the helplessness and dis-empowered state of thought without action, the constant rumination without end, which produces only disappointment and pain.

Going to conferences, reading another book, going to another self-help meeting, listening to the latest and greatest personal development speaker can have value. But without action there is no change.

Creating an identity as a seeker of wellness without embracing the steps necessary to live in wellness is futile. At some moment in the journey of gathering knowledge and information action is required to live-in health and wellness.

Why do people focus on the problem instead of the solution? People are comfortable with their story. Their story becomes their identity and then they cling to that identity, their story, with a ferocious tenacity, even though their lives and that story are desperate unpleasant experiences.

People fear the unknown. It sometimes seems better to live in the wasteland of despair than to risk the unknown which change may bring. This fear of change is common even when it is difficult to imagine worse circumstances in that person’s life than current circumstances. This fear is common even when life seems so desperate that the person is praying to whatever power exists in the universe for relief from the current situation.

How can a person change? A person can change by becoming willing to do something positive to change his or her life and then doing something. Perfection is not desired nor is it possible.

Live in the moment. Now is the only moment anyone ever lives in. It is possible to make plans for the future, but each moment of life is lived in the now, If it is not now, it is either a memory or fantasy about the future, neither of which is now.

Be conscious of the thoughts that occur in your mind. Observe the automatic thoughts without judgment. Become willing to change and create your best life.

Now do something! Take action!

Hi, my name is David Wilson, this is Fred Wilson, this is Mommy Wilson, and this is Daddy Wilson. What’s your name?
My name is Bob.
What’s your last name?
My last name is Harold.

Elevator opens and another man comes in.

Hi, my name is David Wilson, this is Fred Wilson, this is Mommy Wilson and this is Daddy Wilson. What’s your name?
My name is Neal.
What’s your last name?
My last name is so hard to pronounce.
What’s your last name?
My last name is Tanaka.

While we were in Las Vegas David went through the above process with several different people at different times. I observed with a smile in my heart and I thought how sweet it was to live in the present moment as my son asked his questions with joy. I felt joy as we experienced the moments together, David Wilson, Fred, Wilson, Mommy Wilson and Daddy Wilson and the people who used to be strangers when David asked the Question, “What’s your name?”

As adults we sometimes find it difficult to just ask the questions we are curious about. My son is living proof that at four years eleven months old it is possible to effectively communicate with people he has not met before. I was going to say he found it easy to communicate with strangers but I do not believe David has ever met a stranger.

Think for a moment and then tell yourself and me what a child can teach you about living life in the moment.

The Change Option – How to Get What You Want

The Change Option

I believe most of the thoughts, beliefs, behaviors, habits, emotions, reactions and actions are self created or adopted from our environment. I believe this is especially true for habits and reactions which no longer serve us well in our true search for bliss in life. I believe this is true of me and that it is true for many other people. Is it true for you?

I cherish my beliefs until something happens to show me that this belief is not working in my life. Earnie Larson in his book, Stage II Recovery,  called this a conversion experience and stated that we often have a conversion experience when we understand we are about to loose something we are not prepared to loose unless we change.

If you have had a conversion experience and wish to change, I present to you a tool to help in the change process. This tool is an audio which repeats helpful, true statements to help you make changes in your life.

Shad Helmstetter in his book, The Self Talk Solution, speaks of the effectiveness of repeated reprogramming. Conscious mental reprogramming works and audio recordings are one of the very useful tools in the process for many. I welcome your comments on this audio program. The audio is provided free for your use.

Below is the text of the Self Talk Audio Program or if you prefer Guided Meditation. Each portion below is repeated several times in slightly different patterns to make internalizing the message more effective.

I release, the self created barriers, which have bound me.

I Take Care of Myself! Free MP3 Audio

10 Comments

I Take Care of Myself, is a MP3 audio with a background of a thunderstorm. This audio is a relaxation audio product and as such it should never be used when driving a vehicle or when the driver of a vehicle could hear the audio. It should never be used when total alertness is necessary for safety.

The spoken audio consists of three positive self talk phrases.

  • I take care of myself.
  • I make good decisions.
  • I take action.

I take care of myself. This phrase is used because ultimately we are all responsible for our selves. We all take care of ourselves in the manner we are capable of in the present moment. Our goal is to learn how to take care of ourselves consciously and to make the choices which will enable us to have and live the lives we truly choose to have.

I make good decisions. We make decisions which determine what will happen in our life. If we eat well and exercise appropriately we are more likely to be a healthy body size and to be physically fit. Consciously making good decisions is part of the process of living the life we desire by choice not chance. If we work towards our goals we are empowering ourselves and living the life we choose and we plan.

I take action. The action step requires more than thinking, it requires doing. In small or large things action increases the probability of achieving our goals. When we take action and the outcome is not what we anticipated we use this new information to modify our actions to achieve our goals with new action. Success is becoming willing to take action and learn.

I suggest that you listen to this audio at least one time per day for 45 days. You may listen more often if you desire. You may use this audio as a way to relax and go to sleep by playing the audio while in bed.

I hope this audio is useful to you. I also hope you will leave a comment and tell me about your experience with the audio and what other kinds of audio you would most like to see on ??????www.talktoyourself.com.

The file is an MP3 and the size is 42 megabytes.Gene
