What do you want? You already have it.

AHHHH yessss!! My second blog entry! Very excite!! Here it is in it's entirety. It's titled "What do you want? you already have it." This is a subject near to my heart and something that I learned from again Tony Robbins (I told you a lot of this stuff is not something I created but learned rather). By the way, before you say "Why does this dude listen to people like that, can't he figure life out for himself. He's just living some way that someone else has lived?" Well yes and no. I believe that modeling someone who already has the results you want is one of the most effective ways to getting what you want and can cut A LOT of time off of you trying to figure it out yourself. I just want to get this out of the way because either it's my conscious or I've gotten enough flak to know that before you take any wisdom from me (if I have any?) that this natural skeptism is going to occur. I don't just shove whatever Tony Robbins says or any other self help advice down my throat before I look at a few things: does this person have the results I want? Does this make sense to me? Is this something I can apply to my own life? And sometimes, yes it backfires, but I not afraid to fail in the process of getting what I want. So if you've ever been skepticle of even listening to a man like that then it's okay. You may have thought about it and wanted to change your life, you just didn't because deep down you're just gutless. Pussy. Hehehe just kidding. Kinda.

OKAYYY Anyway, What do you want and guess what you already have it. Think about it for a second. What do you want? A boat? A certain job? A relationship? Fame? Money? Whatever it is, I would argue that all you want is a feeling. Again think about it. All you want is something because you think that it will make you feel good. You want a boat because you think when you are out there on the lake and having fun THEN you can feel good. You want that relationship because then you won't feel lonely or unloved and then you will feel good. Life is emotion. While goal setting and having things you want are all good and healthy things, you don't have to wait to get them to really enjoy your life. You can feel good now. (Oh and by the way if you're wondering if this is coming from someone who already has this result, Tony Robbins is the most passionate and happy person I've ever seen.) This is something that I really had to learn because I was always chasing things and going after goals, I still am, but now I feel good in the process. Anything you want ALWAYS comes back to the fact that when you get it you give yourself permission to feel good.

So what are a few things you can do to feel good? Well to change the way you feel there are two things that you can do: change what you're focused on and/or change the way you're using your body. If you don't feel good it's because you're either focused on a thought or set of thoughts that make us feel bad in our body or you're not moving enough physically. Remember these two things, motion is emotion and you feel what you focus on. When you're moving around and doing stuff you feel better than if you're being lazy. Have you ever just sat around all day and didn't do anything? You probably felt pretty shitty after you did and that's because you weren't moving and it could have been combined with the thoughts that "I'm a lazy fuck." And that would not help make you feel good either. It's just the way our mind and body works. So to change your focus what can you do? Well there's a few things: ask new questions, listen to music, do something else, jump up and down, scream out loud and say something funny in public. What you are doing and ideally want to do is break the negative thought patterns that are going on inside your head. This isn't always easy at first but the more you break these patterns the easier it gets and the more mental/emotional muscle you develop. I've found the easiest for me when I feel shitty is really just change my physiology. I'll get up and move around, go for a run or something. I have been doing these kinds of things for over a year now and I can honestly say that on a day to day basis I feel really fucking awesome inside for the most part. There are a few times when it waviers (being hung over), but for the most part there's really not too much that can piss me off or make me feel shitty. And guess what in the last year what I've gone through is a lot of shit that would make most people feel really shitty on a constant basis ie; loss of a long term relationship and being flat broke and in debt and having literally no extra money. These things I'm talking about here can come in EXREMELY useful for anyone in situations like that. And they have for me. So remember this there are two worlds, the outside world and the inside world. You have near to no control over what happens in the outside world, but you have COMPLETE control over what goes on in the inside world. So stop waiting to get something to feel good. Feel good now. You owe it to yourself. Give yourself the gift. Life is awesome if you make it awesome. Take care.
