Hi, it’s Sterling.
The other day I gave you the first,
little step in securing a future so
bright you need shades. :-)
(Step 1 -
Identify the bull in the
herd)
As promised here are some more easy
little steps to take:
Step 2 - Separate the bull from the
herd
You should never look a bull in the
eyes, nor should we stare down our
own inner struggles. Giving focused
attention to your obstacle can
increase the tension and allow your
bull to go wild.
Instead, try to find the root
cause.
Some people spend time toiling on
the internet or watching TV, but
focusing on watching TV won't
change the way you feel or act.
Rather, identify the main reason
you're experiencing the problem.
Why is it that you feel frustrated,
unhappy or anxious? What is the
real, 'deep down' reason that's
causing you dissatisfaction?
Once you have identified the
obstacle (and separated the bull
from the herd) next…
Step 3 - Use the bull to grow the
herd
After identifying the obstacle, you
have a chance to embrace it and use
it to your advantage.
You simply need to find a way to
meet the needs of your bull-ish
urges, while not detracting from
your main goals.
Many of us have a need for nearly
constant stimulation. I like to
listen to music (rather than
watching TV for example) while
doing other things to provide that
stimulus without completely
distracting me from the task at
hand.
Whatever you see as being your
biggest obstacle, you can always
get to a point where it can be
neutralized, or even better, used
to your advantage.
The best way to get started is to
practice visualizing yourself in
the life you want, with clear
intention and emotion.
And to help you do that, first
figure out what your #1 Success
Blocker is, so you can more easily
attract all of the things that
matter to you the most. balance
