Getting out of our way: Conquering Ourselves

CONQUERING OURSELVES:  THE POWER OF BELIEFS

The first step towards living our ultimate potentials is to recognize what is holding us back.  To do this it is helpful to recognize how our beliefs about ourselves, people around us and the world play out in our lives. Beliefs are both unconscious and conscious; either way they are like an iceberg, what is seen is not reflective of the depth, breadth and strength of the unseen portion.  Beliefs can and do get in the way of us living at our ultimate potentials.

How do we conquer ourselves in order to live to our ultimate potentials?  We excavate and learn about our beliefs, associations and behaviours and how they show up in our lives.  If we don’t know how our beliefs, associations and behaviours get in our way of living and working to our ultimate potentials, we will keep doing the same things over and over and keep getting the same results.  Work through the following questions, they are  a powerful start to getting out of your way, this is the first step to start living at your ultimate potentials:

What is stopping me from reaching my ultimate potentials?

1. MENTAL POTENTIALS

1. The reasons I think I can’t or may not achieve my ultimate potentials are…   (List as many reasons as you can think of)

2. For each reason listed ask yourself  ” how does this belief help me live to my ultimate potentials”?

What does your environment say about you?

In our Ultimate Potentials program your environment is one of eight critical structures necessary for living to your full potential.  This structure is particularly important on many levels because your physical environment impacts on the four pillars of health: physical, spiritual, mental, and emotional.  If these pillars of ultimate potentials are unbalanced then you will see the results in your creativity and level of productivity.

Knowing that where you live, work and socialize can have such far reaching effects it stands to reason that your environment should be protected.

Dr. Wayne Dyer encourages us, to be mindful of how our surroundings look and feel.  In other words, your environment should be arranged and decorated with objects and colours that contribute to you maintaining a focused and purposeful life.  This will consequently provide results in your life that show you are ever evolving towards living your ultimate potentials.   To read more visit: http://www.mcgacanola.org .

Is Your Environment Making you Fat?

Are your friends over weight? Do they subscribe to crash diets? What about your work environment? What sorts of foods do you and your coworkers nibble on during the day? If you stop to think about who you spend the bulk of your waking moment with, you may want to take a good, honest look at their habits.  Ask yourself the tough questions, am I fat because those around me are also fat? Do I not exercise regularly because those around me don’t? Do I make excuses for why my weight and my health are the way they are because- you get it! those around me do?!

Your environment impacts on your health in ways that research is starting to show us are very significant.  Your social environment is part of your overall environment.   In our Ultimate Living program we use coaching techniques to support our clients in creating solutions for their health. We recognize that you are not fat just because of what you eat, drink or how much exercise you get- we know being overweight is bigger than that.

A challenge:  For 1-week take stock of all the things you do with your friends, co-workers and family.  Create a list that has two columns- one column titled supportive behaviours the other unsupportive behaviours.  At the end of the week see which column shows up more in your life.  This will be your starting ground for creating a structure in your life that will support powerful actions to living your Ultimate Potentials!
