What do you think about when stress hits you? Do you watch a lot of negative stuff on TV, like the news and shows with negative story lines like murder and such?
What do you do right before you fall asleep and right when you first wake up in the morning? The first 15 minutes that you are awake in the morning and the 15 minutes before you fall asleep at night are the most important minutes of each day and night. This is when your alpha brain waves are at their peak. What that means is this is the closest you get to your subconscious and conscious minds connecting. The messages you place in your mind during those minutes will create your day.

We are being bombarded everywhere with the media telling us so many untruths and dwelling on the economy, gas prices and the housing crisis. There is only so much of this your mind and body can take. These messages cause stress. And when you get stressed you can not create meaningful, workable solutions to whatever situation you are in. Stress causes your thoughts to enter a part of your brain that is responsible for your survival. This is the part of your brain that is all about the very basics; food, shelter and clothing. So when your thoughts live in this part of your brain, it is like getting into a viscous cycle of negativity. It then causes you to have thoughts of worry.

Worry is the misuse of the imagination. Worry is like negative goal setting. It makes your brain react to stress with more worry and then creates your moods. You have over 60,000 thoughts in a day so we know you can't control all of your thoughts. But we can create our moods. When you let worry take over your mood you will not be able to make good and positive decisions about your life and your business. Moods are an accumulation of feelings that are actually stored on physical neural networks.

These moods then create more feelings. So if you are worried you will create feelings of anxiety. Anxiety produces results that are not what you are looking for. Anxiety create an illusion of what really is and thus you begin to make poor choices and begin to react rather than to respond. The anxious feelings create a negative outlook. You being to see things in a way to support your worry.

So how can you break out of this worry and anxiety driven cycle? Begin by taking one small problem you are facing. Really focus on finding a positive solution to that one small problem. DO NOT try to solve all of your problems in one sit down. That is going to cause you even more anxiety and then you will feel overwhelmed and even give up on trying to create positive solutions.

Once you have found a good positive solution to one small problem go for it and apply it. Don't wait, don't hesitate, just do it. Then if it is a mistake you can adjust it. If it is right, then great! You move on to the next problem. We learn from our mistakes so it is perfectly fine to make them.

It is the act of action that propels you out of worry and anxiety. Worry and anxiety create frozen and powerless feelings. While action, no matter how small it may be, creates empowering feelings, confidence, self worth and success. It is more important to focus on your actions than your results. As long as your are in massive action mind frames your desired results will come.

I like to say; you can act your way into feeling but you can not feel your way into action. Don't wait until you FEEL like taking action. Just do it and do it now. Feel the power within. And then follow these tips:

• Don't watch the news.
• Turn off the TV.
• Go out and walk.
• Read good healthy books to expand your mind.
• Work more on yourself than you do on your business. Then your business will always serve you.
• Look for opportunities! There are many opportunities for you right now. Look for them.
• Keep your eyes and ears open! Look for open doors.

In great economic times there are millionaires being made and those that choose to remain broke. In bad economic times the same applies; there are people becoming millionaires right now and there are those who still choose to be broke. It is the power of your thoughts that creates your own circumstances. Your money can't keep you where your mind can't hold you.

There is always ying and yang, good and evil, negative and positive. Seize the day! Make it count and make it yours! Make it a Great Week! Choose to have your best week ever!
