Success Habit 5 : The secret to changing the way you feel

Thank you everyone for your continual support for success habits. As habit 5 comes out of the "oven" , i would like to thank Mr Anthony Robbins for his guidance through his books "Awaken the Giant Within" and "Unlimited Power"

3 factors affect the way we feel (our emotions) and they are:

1 ) Physiology
2 ) Langauge we Use
3 ) Beliefs / Focus

Today i'll be sharing with everyone point 2 ) , the words we use

Simply changing the words we use can change the way we feel!

For example when someone made me angry last time , i realise this was what i told myself

" He got my raw nerve now ! Hes REALLY irritating me"

can you see what a strong langauge i had? raw nerve , REALLY , IRRITATING

Its no wonder i felt so angry!

The next time i felt myself feeling angry and hitting the "raw nerve" i asked myself

"What colour is the raw nerve?"

"What if i cooked the nerve , would it be edible?"

That absolutely broke my "Anger" pattern, cause i found it ridiculous and i started laughing.

Then i went on to tell myself this

" He made me feel a little uncomfortable"

" Yea , he pisses me off a little"

I realise after i changed the words i used with myself, i didnt feel so angry anymore!

The above dictates anger.

The same applies to every single emotion we have!

Just follow the two steps :

1) Break your pattern - ask yourself something ridiculous
2) Replace your old words with new & better words

For those of you readers out there , try it out now! (Remember habit 4)

Credits goes to Mr Anthony Robbins for teaching me about the power of words (Please buy his book for further information)

Have a great day!

Success Habit 4 : DO IT!

Hi all, success habit is back and running again!! :) Sorry for the gaps between habit 3 and habit 4 , I was personally on a little "retreat" of my own to better my own personal development =)

So as our habits move on to habit 4, dear readers, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE about your life ? (After reading habits 1 to 3)

Today's habit is something very straight-forward - and often over looked. And that is actually getting yourself into the dirt and DO IT!

How often have you heard these statements below....

"I wanna top my class"

"I wanna lose weight"

"I'll change this bad habit of mine"

"I'll get over this my relationship break-up soon"

And a few months later, they are pretty much still the same.

Why ?

The reasons that engulfs this mysterious force of never getting into the dirt cannot be un-vealed in simple words .

But basically, we can draw examples from successful people

A successful person when he sets himself to do something , he will get it done by the following format (adopted from Adam Khoo's book - please buy his book , MASTER YOUR MIND DESIGN YOUR DESTINY for very good info)

Step 1 - 4 :Beliefs --> Goals --> Strategies --> Action
They set a belief for themselves and really believe in it (i.e a great SAVER of $)
They set a goal for themselves (i.e save $10 per week)
They outline a strategy (save at least 20% of allowance everyday)
And DO IT (ACTION ACTION MORE ACTION)

So readers, have you adopted STEP 4 ?

Most un-successful people stop at GOALS and never go on to map out anything.


“Leaders establish the vision for the future and set the strategy for getting there; they cause change. They motivate and inspire others to go in the right direction and they, along with everyone else, sacrifice to get there.” - John Kotter
