Wow, it's been a while since I have posted some stuff. However, I have been forming new habits and changing how I feel about things - which has been great.
I have a DVD I watched in which Jack Canfield talks about a NASA study in which these astronauts wore these convex googles for 30 straight days.
The lenses made everything appear upside down. But what they found was that every single one of the astronauts - at the 25-30 day mark their brain automatically "corrected" and what was upside down was right side up again - even though they were still wearing the googles. In other words - their brains rewired after CONSISTENT daily practice.
Well, hearing that really inspired me and I decided to do certain things for 30 days - every day.
Oh, yeah, the EVERY day part is really important because NASA did another study and half of the astronauts took the googles off for only ONE day at the fifteen day mark. After only one day off it still took another 25-30 days to get the rewiring done. It was like it started back all over again.
So - starting on March 1st, I had begun to do things on a daily basis. One thing was to write an affirmation 66 times (that's just how many lines were available on the front and back of the notebook I was using). And yes, it was the exact same affirmation 66 times a day for now over 30 days. (And if you're wondering the affirmation is: "I have 3.6 million dollars in the bank!" - It goes along with the Money Is Love book I mention in the important links section.)
Other things included meditation on a daily basis (and again I focused on having the $3.6 million.)
I have to say after 30 days my feelings about money have changed a good bit - for the better. I really believe that $3.6 is coming. I just do.
Well, now that 30 days has gone by I wanted to add in some new habit stuff. But it can get a bit tricky to track everything. The tracking is an extra - just something I like to do.
But I came up with a little Excel spreadsheet that I'm going to have here if you want to use it yourself. Obviously the events can be changed. I even left myself some space in case a new idea came to me on something I wanted to do habitually.
Again, I can't stress enough how glad I am I decided to be consistent and make some new habits. It has made a big difference.
