A blessed Sunday.

Taking it from last Sunday, we can bring the desired ideal Person "B" into life by:
1. By living in the end, seeing and feeling ourselves as already person "B". Doing this will make your desire to be that person very strong and you will be compelled to take action to get there.
2. Take total control of and direct your thoughts especially your inner (alone) conversations. What are you consistently telling yourself: is it empowering and encouraging or a destructive negative story.
3. Remember what you focus on, in your thoughts, expands and must take form in the visible physical world.
4. Do not let your mind run on autopilot and you just become an obedient slave. Don't surrender your power to the unfolding world circumstances.
5. Starve as much as possible thoughts, ideas and feelings associated with Person "A", the old you.
6. Have morning and evening rituals / practices to intentionally set the thought tone of your day. Don't just go into the default worry mode out of habit. Arrest that habit.
7. Be present to direct your thoughts.
8. The fact that, by default, you have tuned to "worry and stress" radio station does not mean "joy and happiness" station is not on air. Its only that you are not tuned to it therefore you can not hear its broadcasts. Therefore intentionally tune to your desired station.
9. Decide to look at, hear, and feel the world with the lenses of Person "B".

Enjoy the holidays and stay blessed..

A blessed Sunday.

“Change your conception of yourself and you will automatically change the world in which you live. Do not try to change people; they are only messengers telling you who you are. Revalue yourself and they will confirm the change.”
― Neville Goddard, Your Faith is Your Fortune.

We are being called upon to change our self-identity (who you say you are) / or the very person we have accepted to be, if our life story is to change. We ought to hold a different and high self-concept then the world will see us as such, for the world is merely a mirror reflecting back to us the image we hold of ourselves. Given this understanding we have to acknowledge that we hold the keys to change the circumstances of our lives. Firstly, we have to know ourselves, and who we say we are (Person A). Secondly we have to be clear on who we really want to be (Person B).

Now, the transformative work we have to do is to replace "A" with "B". Any lasting personal development change must first be at the Self Identity / Self-concept level. Once this new identity is accepted by yourself the world and events around you have no choice but to confirm it.

Now, can we share and educate one another on the techniques and strategies we use as individuals to bring our Person B (that person we really want to be) permanently into life. What do we do to "JUST BE" this new person.

Ipete Life Coaches will next Sunday, summarize and share your for the benefit of those who might have missed some pointers.

Stay blessed and JUST BE..

Yes!! The year 2024 has come to an end. It is that time of the year, when we have to take stock of our achievements and note areas where we lagged behind. As we welcome 2025, we have to seek to understand why we are where we are in terms of accomplishments.

I now want to ask you to articulate with such clarity your goals of 2025, and to mentally see them as already attained. I implore you to see yourself living the life you desire for the end is where we ought to start. This will motivate you to work daily towards your goal. It is very critical to plant this in, and get our subconscious mind to accept it. So as 2025 begins let us all go into the year with: clear goals, and resolute intentions.

Once you have painted a clear picture of the life you desire, proceed to work on your belief system. What beliefs stop you from living this life, get rid of them and adopt ones that will propel you to your goal. The results you get in life are simply your beliefs pushed out. Your actions are regulated by your beliefs – regardless of whether you are conscious of them or not. Your beliefs direct your inner talking (what you tell yourself of: who you are, what you are capable of, and etc). At the end of the day your beliefs, and inner talking have given you this life, reflected back to you by circumstances. Therefore, to change your circumstances, which is a reflection, change first the beliefs for they are the body giving you the reflection. Bring to the mirror a different mental concept of yourself to be reflected back to you by the physical world.

Now once your beliefs are aligned and are in agreement with the vision and you believe this life is possible for you, taking appropriate consistent action to get to your destination will be your default mode. Close it all by celebrating your wins. This is important in developing new mental pathways consistent with the new self-image you are creating.

In short in 2025 focus on these four elements – commit to a clear Vision / Goal, align your Beliefs to this vision, take consistent Action and Celebrate your wins.

Enjoy your New Year celebrations, and come back in 2025 to assume a better version of your now self.

Self-image a performance thermostat.

Last week we had a discussion on conscious and subconscious minds and closed by agreeing that you will clearly define the person you want to be and your goals. My request to you was that be clear on the destination you want to reach.

This week I want us to look at how the beliefs and self-image we hold of ourselves affect / determine our performance. Who do you believe you are / what is the self-image (picture) you hold of yourself?

Your beliefs and self-image are your performance thermostat – your performance will always be set at the level of your beliefs. Your performance in any area of your life (health, spiritual or finances and etc) is a reflection of who you say you are concerning that area. You cannot outperform who you say you are, any such performance will be temporary as it is not congruent with your self-image as held in the subconscious mind. As long as your beliefs and self-image do not change, your performance will remain the same.

Presently, you are this person because you have allowed society to convince you, to a point of no doubt, that this is: who you are, what you are capable of, what you can achieve, what you are worth etc. In short your current results are consistent with who you believe you are, for that which is externally seen is simply a reflection of what is held within.

The beliefs you hold give rise to the habits (daily actions) that sustain and anchor them. Our beliefs, internally know to us, are reflected to people around us through our daily habits. For example if you belief in good health (internally known to you) – you adopt habits like exercising, watching your diet, meditating, and etc (externally seen by people) to make this belief alive. A belief not acted upon is no belief at all. If you believe you are a Christian you adopt habits such as: going to church, praying, reading the Bible and etc. It is the daily actions / habits that communicate your beliefs to the people around you.

It is therefore very important to understand that we can make a lasting change in our lives by holding a different set of empowering beliefs to drive us to our goals / destinations.

In conclusion this week I want you to look at different areas of your life (health, finances, family and community, career, spiritual and etc.) and identify limiting beliefs that are not helping you to be this person you want to be. What do you belief about yourself that says you cannot be this person that you really want to be? Take an honest self-image / belief audit. Once you have done that, identify their opposites being desirable beliefs that will help you to reach your destination.

Next week we will look at how we can make this desirable beliefs a part of us and use our mind power to drive us to our goals for the mind is a goal seeking instrument.

Enjoy your weekend and stay blessed.

At Ipete Life Coaching we offer two HRDC accredited short courses namely: Mindset Change and Transitioning Into Entrepreneurship.

Today, we will briefly explore why mindset change (MC) is essential. All humans aspiring to grow will at one point in their lifes' journey need a different mental toolkit to deal with their life challenges. We all have to accept this as the reality of our life. We can successfully change our mindsets only if we understand how the mind operates. Imagine a person who does not understand the mechanics of a car trying to repair one. What do you expect - well your guess is as good as mine.

This week we will explore the interface between conscious and subconscious minds. The conscious mind is regarded as the educated / analytical side, where information coming into our conscious awareness, through the senses, is analyzed to reach conclusions. This part of the mind can be likened to the ship captain who determines where the ship goes. The subconscious on the other hand is referred to as the doing/emotional / habitual mind. This is where the habits of what we unconsciously do reside. It can be seen as performing the same role performed by ship boilers and engineers - ensuring that the ship is in emotion / moving. The captain and his crew must be in total agreement as to where the ship is going if they are to make any progress.

In like manner the analytical and doing minds should be in agreement, if we are to achieve our goals. Any disharmony between the two will result in frustrations as there is a performance gap between what we know and what we do (the knowing - doing gap). At the conscious level we know what we must do but we are not doing that because our habits in our doing mind are not aligned to what the analytical mind wants. It is therefore, our responsibility to get the two working harmoniously if we are to permanently change who we are.

The challenge before us is to convince the doing mind to accept and run with the program or goals as identified by the analytical mind. The doing mind should therefore see and accept you as the the person defined by the analytical mind. We can only convince our doing mind to accept us as such if we know precisely who we want to be. Therefore the starting point is to be clear on our goals. What do you want to achieve? See this clearly in your mind's eye and let it to totally envelope you.

This week I challenge whoever is reading this article to clearly define their goals. Be so clear on the person you want to be. Once this is done the next journey is to discard habits that sustain and keep alive the old self and adopt new habits that will support the new you.

You are a project and you are the director of this project. The results you get are indicative of your performance insofar managing this project is concerned. See you next week.
