How to Change Your Life Now!

Are you in a mess and having a really tough time right now?

Here's some immediate advice on how to change your life now.

Can I ask that you don't immediately resist or try to evaluate what I'm about to say initially, just for a few moments, but just take it at face-value for now.

(1) Stop thinking - you can't think your way out of this one - just focus all of your attention on your breathing - notice and feel the sensation of your in-breath and out-breath - focus on 10 cycles of breaths

(2) Focus 100% on now, this present moment, right now

(3) In this present moment accept what is happening and how you feel about it NOW: "I accept this situation... I accept that I am feeling...."

(4) Ask your "highest self" (that's the bit of you that you may not be aware of that represents your highest awareness/consciousness) for help. There's no need at this stage for labels or getting all hung up about "what does this mean".

Just say out loud with heartfelt and committed intention: "Please help me?"

(5) Pause and take 3 or 4 more breaths and focus your intention completely on the in-breath and the out-breath

(6) Now, just ask this simple question (nope, no need to think about it) just ask it now with heartfelt and committed intention: "What should I do now?"

(7) What comes up? What pops into your head? OK just do it. Run with that one thing and give it your whole 100% focus and attention.

It makes no difference and really doesn't matter if it is a "trivial" everyday thing like go for walk, listen to some music or cook some food. In fact it most likely will be something "trivial" and seemingly unrelated to your big mess.

(8) Repeat steps 1 - 7 as often as you need to over the next 24 hours.

P.S. Just focus on the present moment now!

P.P.S. The key to this is to just focus on the present moment and focus 100% on what presents itself as requiring your attention now, in the present moment.

The rest will take care of itself in its own good time. Well strictly speaking the more you can let go, and (I know it sounds cliched) go with the flow, you are allowing a far greater intelligence than your own limited thinking conscious mind to take care of things.

OK yes I know it's hard to let go, cos that involves trust - but that really is the only way...
