The Art Of Mind Control

Written by Lori Taylor - 9 Comments
Categories: self improvement

If I handed you a 10,000-piece puzzle and asked you to put it together in two hours or less – and oh by the way – you don’t get to see the picture before hand, would you do it?

Probably not before asking yourself two critical questions:

  1. Why?
  2. What’s in it for me?

Maybe not even in that order, right?

This is what your mind does for every hope and dream of yours in LIFE.  It’s fear based thinking is holding you as a prisoner “for your own good”.

The Seven Stages Of Failing At Self Improvement

Written by Lori Taylor - 16 Comments
Categories: self improvement

self improvementSelf Improvement is a lot like riding a horse (or a bike).

Sometimes you go too fast and you fall off.

Or you go too slowly and you fall off.

And you might do everything right, and still fall off.

Don’t hate the player hate the game right?

Bottom line is you must stop yourself from freaking out as you fight to stay on.  Just accept you’re going to fall off every now and then. It’s fine because you’re supposed to fall down – it’s part of the journey.  (But no one said you had to lay there in the fetal position.) Read the Rest of This Article »

Fear is something you probably avoid at all costs.

If you’re nervous in elevators, you might take the stairs.

If you’re afraid of heights, you probably wouldn’t go on a skiing vacation.

And if you’re scared of the ocean, the beach is most likely not on your list of hot spots is it?

But have you ever thought about what it really costs you when you try to live without fear? Read the Rest of This Article »

3 Power Tricks To Supercharge Your Day With Gratitude

Written by Lori Taylor - 17 Comments

Why is it so hard for you to say, “thank you” to you, when you say thank you to complete strangers every day (or at least I hope you do).

If someone holds the door, or even when a waiter brings you the check asking you for money, you say “thank you”.

Heck many times you take the time to give lip service to be polite, but at least you say it, right?

So if it’s that easy, when is the last time you told YOU thank you?

Thank you for my beating heart, thank you lungs for my breath, thank you legs for all you do…

Do you ever say that?  It’s doubtful.

Yet, if you want to connect with your true power, your subconscious, or spirit, taking the time to simply say thank you is a GAME CHANGER.

If you don’t believe me, try one of these 3 power tricks to supercharge your day with gratitude. Read the Rest of This Article »

Suffering Comes From YOUR Perception (Yep, it’s your fault!)

Written by Lori Taylor - 8 Comments

Which one of these statements do you believe in?

“An eye for an eye” or “Live and let live”?

No matter how you answered, your response was based on your belief system. Yet, if I asked 20 people, they wouldn’t all answer the same because they have different beliefs and filters through which they see things.

Your biggest source of pain comes from not seeing how limiting your beliefs can be. Believing what you feel to be based on “facts,” is a lie.  What you feel is based on your perception of the facts.

Suffering never comes from the facts themselves, it comes from your perception of the facts; it’s the meaning you place on what YOU are processing in that moment. Read the Rest of This Article »
