new-12010 HAPPY NEW YEAR

I think its quite appropriate that our Life Change Experiment spans the turn of a decade. After all, the whole thing is about changing the old ways of thinking and doing things, and embracing something  new.

Breaking this generations old and stale values is not easy when everyone around you is still frantically holding onto them, to keep their own treadmills turning.

But the relentless pursuit of ‘more’, at the expense of family and health. The incredibly childish and destructive concept of keeping up with the jonses. self inflicted stress, self image fladulation, mounting debt, working to make other people wealthy, and the general erosion of a sense of happiness, fulfillment and meaning, are all things our experiment aims to tackle in its quest.

Funnily enough ten years ago today things for me were VERY different. I was standing on a 10 million dollar yacht supping Champaigne with a bevy of celebs from tv and the business world. I was stressed out beyond beliefe about my businesses, partying way to much to relieve this stress, (a bottle of vodka almost every night) , and deeply frustrated and depressed over all the things I felt I lacked. Not least my own sense of self esteem.

It took me the best part of 10 years of pain misery, science research and study to get to the point where I had the strength to step out of my self inflicted mental prison, and even then I still had to put this Life Change rocket up my ass, to shake of the last remaining remnants of my rut haha

But the truth is no matter what you hope for this year, New years is just a day like any other. We make it special only by agreeing that it is so, So its magic, transformational powers, healing energy or just plain party spirit is really a figment of our imagination.

If this is so why do we leave it 365 days to start seriously thinking about change

Rather than putting all your hopes and fears into a single day I want to make this year a year of putting all my hopes into EVERY day. Why not? After all one is just like the next. Since how I see them has always been up to me, why not extract the magic that is New Year and make every day new years day.

Its very easy to get caught up in the supposed ‘reality’ of labels, special days, rituals, magic moments, and build our lives around looking for the next one that might make things better. Instead of realizing the real magic is in the fact that EVERY new moment is another fresh opportunity.

The more people I talk to on The Life Change Experiment, the more I hear of great techniques, amazing miracles, life changing practices etc….I realize the common thread is not their ideas, experiences or methods, which, lets face it, vary greatly. But rather it’s their belief in their belief that changes their lives.

How can we ever get the full effect of any life change when we doubt ourselves and don’t honestly expect results. True Life Change and hence the illusive ‘magic’ of results comes from true beliefe.

Of course this is hard to have when you have been ‘let down’ in the past , or have a cynical or ‘prove it first’ type attitude.

But recently i have been experimenting with the concept and results of belief itself. Imparting ‘temporary’ but total belief into a moment and to my amazement I found my subconscious and the world around me acted as if it were true.

I know i have spoken on this before but i wanted to mention it again as it has had such a profound effect, and is the perfect tool for anyone wanting to look at making this year something special

I am sure this ‘releasing of ‘magic’ due to faith’ is the essence of some of the more common metaphysical and religious phenomenum people say they experience that cant be explained or repeated under the skeptics eye, but have a profound effect on the experiencee

Call it the placebo effect – call it the power of faith or just believe its something bigger than yourself it seems to work regardless of what you believe – Just as long as you do!

Anyway I would love your thoughts on the power of belief (over and above ‘provable or expected reality’) Is it really the key or are there other forces involved. Or perhaps its all just codswallop and good things simply come down to hard work and luck.
