3-Steps to Creating New Realities

by Pete Koerner - 

Do you want to create something new or perhaps change part of your life? Consider that, whatsoever you desire can be yours if you ask for it believing that you already have it - even if it doesn't exist yet.

In other words, if you think about a thing in such a way that you truly FEEL grateful and happy that you have received it, then it will be given to you or you will be led to it - and inspired to achieve it.

When you place your "mental order," for something new or different, with a prayer, hope, dream, etc, there are two components you must consider: What you want and How you want to feel.

If you truly feel good about what you have asked for, you will affirm it to yourself - if not to others - and you will act on the inspirations you receive. Faith without action is something different than faith. 

Here are three-simple steps for creating a new reality:

1. Ask  

Ask for what you want by thinking about it in as much specific detail as you can - and in such a way that you feel grateful and happy. 

Your thoughts are your request; and the feelings caused by those thoughts are also a request. 

2. Affirm  

Declare the reality you desire. If you weigh 200-pounds, and wish to weigh 175-pounds, declare that you are, "a fit, healthy, happy 175-pounds;" and visualize this happy, new you. 

Think of ways other people have achieved your desires and make plans, or simply imagine, how you might get from one place to another. 

All you need is a possibility - and to affirm that possibility to yourself. All things are possible; affirm your dreams until you believe in them. 

3. Act 

When you believe in your dreams, you will act on them - or they might seem to "magically" manifest for you. 

In either case, if an obvious action step presents itself to you, you must take it. It is your dream, after all; it is the taking of those steps that constitutes the "living" of that dream. And, when you act, act boldly and with confidence.

Adjust and Achieve

If at first you don't succeed, Adjust and Achieve... Don't give up on your dreams just because they haven't come true - yet!

If you first efforts fall short or don't seem to be producing the results you truly want, then Adjust to the feedback you received until you Achieve the desired outcome, conditions or situation.

• Adjust  

Adjust your plans and actions based on feedback, or results. Be flexible, dynamic, and willing to change your approach in order to fine-tune your ability to receive or achieve your goal or desire. 

• Achieve  

Achieve anything you can imagine by being bold, creative, flexible, and open and willing to be surprised at how your dreams are delivered to you.

Controlling Your Thinking

by Pete Koerner -

Before seeing the word, "breathing," you probably weren't thinking about it; and you probably weren't thinking about your own breathing - even though you were doing it. Breathing is one of those things we do unconsciously - whether we are asleep, or not. Though most people never consider it until they experience a problem or some difficulty, breathing and thinking are closely related.

Thinking is just like breathing; you are always doing it to some degree - even while you sleep. And this is important because, though breathing gives us life, it is our thinking that creates and shapes our experience of life. And, just as you can control your own breathing to a certain extent, you can learn to control your own thinking to a certain extent, as well - giving you greater creative control over your life.

Think about your breathing for a minute. Before you were thinking about it, you were thinking about something else; but you were still breathing. You were breathing "unconsciously," just like you do in your sleep. Now, you are conscious of your breathing; you know you are breathing but it is still happening automatically.

You aren't really controlling your breathing now any more than when you were not conscious of it a moment ago. But you can take control of it - for a time, anyway. And, if you want to be a swimmer, a martial artist, or a singer, then you'll have to learn an even greater level of breathing control than the average person.

Take a minute and try this:

Breathe in while you count to four; hold that breath for a count of four; breathe out for a count of four; and hold that for a count of four before repeating the whole process a couple times.

If you did that, you were consciously controlling your breathing mechanism; which is quite different than simply breathing or even being aware of your breathing.

There are many levels of awareness and involvement in the breathing process; and thinking is the same way. Just as if you wanted to become a singer, you would have to practice your breathing; if you want to consciously create your own life, you'll have to learn to gain a greater degree of control over your own thinking.

As with your breathing, your mental processes are continuous - you are either conscious or unconscious of them. Now, you are aware of your thinking; and you may even be thinking about thinking. But you aren't consciously focusing your thoughts on one specific outcome that you truly want to happen.

To become consciously aware of your thoughts and direct them with your own attention and focus, is to be in conscious control of your thought processes. Everyone thinks, just as everyone breathes; but not everyone practices breathing exercises - and not everyone practices clear, effective thought.

You may think this doesn't matter but the fact is nothing could matter more to any of us. 

Our thoughts are creative - whether we choose to guide them or not.

If we do not take responsibility for what we allow our thoughts to become or guide us to do, then we are creating by default or worse, we are following the desires and agendas of others - those who tell us what to think rather than teach us HOW to think.

Think about it. 

• Do you do what you do during the day because you want to or because you have to? 
• Whose ideas are you executing with your time and energy? 
• Who taught you what was important to you?

All religions teach the importance of thought; and what is prayer if not thought?

Jesus said,

"As a man thinketh, so it is done to him," 

Buddha said,

"Man is formed and molded by his thoughts," and Gandhi said, "Man often becomes what he thinks himself to be." 

The teaching attributed to Jesus also appears in the Old Testament and in practically every other religion on the planet. It's the thought that counts; and there's more than one way to think.

What are you thinking about and how are you thinking about it? The fruits of your life will give you some indication of what and how you're thinking.

Our thoughts guide us to our destiny and shape our experience but we shape and guide our thoughts.

Are you using the most effective modes of thought to communicate your fondest wishes? Are your thoughts producing happiness and guiding you toward fulfillment?

If not, consider the odds that all the great religious teachers are liars and conspirators, and then weigh them against the odds that you were never really taught a lot about the mind and the various modes of thought and thinking.

In other words, consider the chance that prayer is still taught - in one form or another - in all religions and spiritual traditions because it does work and you just haven't attained "Christ-like" mastery of your thoughts yet.

Practice paying more attention to both your breathing and your thinking; improving these two things is the secret to a long, happy life of your own choosing and design.
