This morning I decided to do something different.

I decided to apply one of my guiding principles while signing copies of my newest, latest, greatest book. 

Here’s how this looks… and let me tell you, my brain buzzeth over.

1. I grab a stack of 10 books and separate them into lots of five.

2. I autograph five books, then get out of my chair, walk across the room and insert those five books into a box.

3. I take a seat and sign another five books, then I get up and put those away, too.

4. Then I grab another stack of 10 books and repeat the same process.

Now, what on earth does this have to do with anything, much less “getting your goals?”

Well, if you’ve been following my always-evolving writings on getting things done, I do NOT advocate pushing yourself to exhaustion (other than once in a while as a test). Nor do I advocate “getting out of your comfort zone.”

Instead, I advise you to “find your comfort zone” by smaller sets of five or ten minutes of an activity, in which you are not “scaring yourself” or monkeying with your brain and nervous system in a way that you have to force yourself to move forward.

Instead, you coax yourself, by starting with small, simple, almost ridiculous goals. And the result is that catapults you forward. It gives you momentum. It makes you WANT to do more.

In my case, after signing only five books, I was eager to sign another five, and another, and another….

Last week, when it was high-time to autograph my books, I signed and signed and signed, relentlessly, till my hand ached. I took no breaks.

I can do that… I can push myself this way, turning something I enjoy doing into something I have to force myself to do.

Today I chose a radically different approach, as outlined above. Instead of signing a box of 40 books, followed by another box, and another, I signed only five books, then took a break.

The result? My brain loves this departure from the norm so much that I am buzzing almost beyond belief. And I am stunned. This “small sets” approach works for anything and everything.

In fact, by following this method, not only am I buzzing, but I am also applying one of the central tenants of my new book: One Breath at a Time: The Secret Sayings for Getting Your Goals and Creating the Life YOU WANT. 

The feedback on my book has been tremendous. One reader declared it a “HOME RUN.”

Another took note of how the beginning and ending of the book paid homage to my parents. He especially noted how moving the chapter entitled “Last Breaths” was.

The chapters in my book are titled as “Breaths.”

First Breath… Second Breath… Third Breath… all the way to Final Breaths.

But the Final Breaths chapter is not the end because it segues into Infinite Breaths.

There’s a definite BUZZ you’ll pick up on as you read… and breathe your way through my book.

It’s not just the BUZZ of what I wrote… but the way I autographed each copy.

If you want some of this BUZZ, go here NOW and get some.

Everyone has had the experience of sitting in a restaurant, or in a waiting room, and all is well until “Bad Luck Schmedlock” takes a seat next to you. Within mere moments, you begin feeling uncomfortable. 

Many of us work with people who don’t have high quality, vibrant energy, and their energy gets on us. Just as someone’s positive vibes can make us feel better, someone who has negative vibes can make us feel worse. 

What to do?

Well, you can go for a walk, workout, take a sauna or cold plunge… and this can help, to an extent.

But the fastest way to handle the bad vibes is to practice a visualization technique that removes the negative energy from your energetic field.

It only takes a few minutes… and the benefits are HUGE. In fact, the benefits may last the whole day (or longer) because with this visualization, you are also setting up a barrier to the negative energy, so that it bounces off, leaving YOU alone.

As a result, you maintain your sense of calmness and clarity, and are able to remain focused on what YOU want. 

I go over this visualization exercise in great detail in the August issue of Theatre of the Mind Masters coaching newsletter, which I sent out early this morning.

There’s still a bit of time remaining to get your hands on this issue, as well as some other goodies.

There are things that jump out at you – that you didn’t see before, even though they were right in front of you. You saw them before but NOW, you see them more clearly than ever. 

For instance: You are out driving around, going past the same buildings you usually do. You’re taking the same streets, the same roads. The only difference is that you are thinking about finding something. 

You may be asking yourself a question, such as, “I wonder where I can find a good (fill in the blank)?” 

And then, from out of nowhere, you see the sign in front of the same building you have apparently passed by thousands of times. Yet, as far as you’re concerned, this is the first time you have ever seen this sign. Previously, it never existed. 

Back when I was a personal trainer in California, I cannot count the number of people who wandered into my gym after wondering such a thing, and how many of them literally told me, “I drive this way everyday and I just saw your sign, today.”

So, there I was, earlier this morning, re-reading Psycho-Cybernetics for the, umphundredth time. I began with the preface, and something that I figured out long ago, came to me in an even bigger way. 

First, I saw the sub headline on the third page of the preface that reads: “The Face of Personality.“

And then, in the first sentence below the subhead, there was this line: “It was as if personality itself had a “face.””

Holy Cow! 

I talked about this face behind the face in the Nightingale-Conant audio book, Theatre of the Mind, which you can download at audible.com.

And yet, early this morning, these same words that I have read so many times, took on a whole new light, a whole new power. 

Your personality has a face – and these five words hold one of the golden keys to creating a new self-image and getting the results you want in life. 

Once you take hold of this golden key at a deep level, and figure out how to insert it into all your visualizations, look out world, because you are now on a roll. 

I’m going to make it easy for you in the forthcoming Theatre of the Mind Masters newsletter, where I spell this out in grand and glorious detail. You can figure it out for yourself, or you can get coached through the process of how to use this face of personality, in a HUGE way. 

The deadline for getting this next issue is fast approaching. 

Get in NOW – while you can. 

See it. Feel it. Be it.
