Day 6/90 Consciouness Practice & Training

 Friday July 27, 2012

Consciousness Tip Of The Day

Befriend like-minded individuals - On your journey towards becoming a more conscious individual, befriending like-minded people can be extremely helpful. If you are going through many spiritual, emotional, and mental changes without the company of others, the process can be much more difficult and confusing than when you have a guide, guru, or some friends that are traveling at a similar pace to you. Not only is being around like-minded individuals healthy, and optimal for your consciousness, it will ultimately give you more joy in life!

Consciousness Tip Of The Day

Challenge your belief system - This one can be difficult for many individuals due to the influence of imprinted beliefs by their parents or guardians during childhood. Some examples of beliefs that you could change include: dietary (changing to a vegetarian), spiritual (from Christianity to Atheism – or vice versa), emotional (from sadness to happiness), etc. By changing your belief system and experimenting with new beliefs, you make yourself more conscious of life’s endless possibilities.

Consciousness Day 3/90

Day 3 Tuesday July 24, 2012

 Consciousness Tip Of The Day

Cultivate a “high-performance mind” - Cultivating a high-performance mind is a very fun, invigorating process that involves consciously accessing the brainwave state that you consciously choose, whenever you feel it is appropriate for a certain situation. Since there is no single best brainwave state to live life in, it helps to train our mind to consciously be able to “switch” states upon command.   

Focus on one task at a time.

Quote Of The Day

“ Great opportunities to help others seldom come, but small ones surround us every day.”

Sally Koch

Consciousness Day 2/90

Consciousness Tip Of The Day

Practice forgiveness - Forgiving yourself can be very difficult sometimes: especially if you are operating in a lower state of consciousness. Realize that in order to rise up, advance, and become a more conscious person, you must be compassionate and forgiving towards yourself. Any hateful thoughts or pent up negative emotions that you may be holding towards yourself need to be released. Negative thoughts and emotions can easily lower our level of consciousness if we do not practice compassion and forgiveness.

The 90 Day Consciousness Commitment Routine

I think everyone shares a common goal of wanting to be more present, clear and empowered right now.  By practicing being "conscious", both physically and mentally we can transform how we feel, look and interact with each other, the world and ourselves.

It can be a real challenge to create balance and feel grounded in our lives when unexpected life circumstances arise and at times become so intense we are shaken to our core. We can be left feeling disconnected and powerless in the unfolding of the future and face of the unknown. It is my goal to create rituals in my daily routine that keep me anchored, calm, open, happy and emotionally equipped to deal with the unknown fluctuations of life. So I have come up with a plan to encourage self-transformation and support my desires.

When looking to create new habits and rituals you will hear figures for transformation ranging from 21-66 days. I have decided to practice what I preach in my classes by putting myself on a 90-day challenge, just to make sure my new habits and rituals really stick.

This is a personal challenge that I would like to invite you to join as well. I would love to hear your thoughts and comments, please feel free to share your training tips and motivational quotes that keep you going. 

 
How I will approach my challenge:
 

  1. Each day I will post a tip on how to be more conscious- this will be the focus and homework of that day.

Ex. Connect with nature – Go for a walk in the forest, jungle, field of daisies, or wherever you feel like getting a connection with nature. It is possible to feel at deep sense of peace and oneness when you attempt to connect with nature. As you learn to connect and appreciate nature, you allow your consciousness to rise up.
 

   2.  Each day I will pick a physical practice that I must complete for at least 30minutes minimum. This can be anything physical: yoga, spinning, walking in the park, weight training, swimming, martial arts, dance ect. My plan is to do something different everyday and in as many places as possible.

   3. I will also pick out a quote for the day that will be used as my daily mantra and point of focus.

Ex. "All wrong-doing arises because of mind. If mind is transformed can wrong-doing remain?" Buddha

This is the core of personal development. It points towards the need to train and develop the mind and to free it from limits and negativity.

    4. I will post daily photos of the training I choose and or the workout it self.

There’s no better time to start than now so here goes…

 Day-1 Sunday-July 22, 2012

 

 

1. Consciousness Tip Of The Day- Treat yourself with respect - Having respect for yourself and your actions will ultimately boost the amount of love that you express towards yourself and others. Make wise, respectful decisions that reflect your values and have strong respect for your personal beliefs. Treating others with respect will help you become a more conscious human being too, but before you can respect others properly, you must first learn to show the utmost respect towards yourself.
