This Week's FREE Self-Help Seminar

Today's Reflection

FREEDOM

DO NOT DISTURB

You've got to liberate yourself - from your own subconscious mind, from your own fears - so that you can start living life to the full. Why is it that the normal person has to find themselves in adversity before they become abnormal - before they liberate themselves?

Check out all my videos on YouTube - there are over 300 of them!

It’s Monday morning and, for many, the worst day of the week, the start of another week of torture or drudgery or, even worse, the first day back at work after a great holiday. I assume that you feel like this sometimes – if not about Mondays in particular, there are always days when you leap out of bed and, within ten minutes, you’re as flat as a pancake. And, if you don’t do something about it then and there, well you’re going to have ‘one of those days’.

Why is it that the wind can so easily be taken out of our sails? Why is it that this can happen for no apparent reason? Well, there is a very concrete reason – but it’s rarely apparent because it’s subconscious. Your subconscious mind would actually prefer not to be disturbed – it is much more comfortable slumbering in its default state of general mindlessness and apathy and, even though this state of mind will get you nowhere, you might just be better off leaving well enough alone.
Not so – if you’ve even had a sniff of what it is to be like to be in flow, turned on, tuned in, extraordinarily effective, super efficient, leaving your subconscious to its own devices is going to make you even more upset, disturbed and restless.

So, this morning, this Monday morning, completely ignore that ‘DO NOT DISTURB’ sign that your subconscious has hung on the door – tear it down, throw open life’s windows and pull yourself together – there’s a whole life waiting to be lived.

This Week's Recommended Read - MAN'S SEARCH FOR MEANING

Personal Development Article

by Viktor E. Frankl ISBN 0-671-02337-3

Internationally renowned psychiatrist Frank endured years of unspeakable horror in Nazi death camps. During and partly because of his suffering, he developed a revolutionary approach to psychotherapy known as logotherapy. At the core of this theory is the belief that man’s primary motivational force is his search for meaning. Cited in Dr. Frankl’s New York Times obituary in 1997 as “an enduring work of survival literature”, this book is more than his story: it is a remarkable blend of science and humanism and “an introduction to the most significant psychological movement of our day” (Gordon W. Allport)
