Genius Alignment

At The Mahima Mindset, we believe that everyone has a genius. This belief is what drives and
guides us every day. Everyone’s genius is unique.

It is the physical and mental space where your interests, passions and skills converge to make you
unstoppable.

It’s no coincidence that the companies that are constantly two steps ahead of the competition, are
the same ones who have recruited star talent and built their organization around maximizing their
potential.

Living In the Zone of your Genius


Your zone of genius is your unique power. It is a one-of-a-kind quality that you bring to your life
and to your work. This is at the intersection of your innate talents and passions, and is often
difficult to distinguish yourself as unique or special because it comes so naturally. While we might
share common skills, interests, or work styles with others — your genius cannot be replicated by
anyone else.

You know you’re in your genius when the work leaves you energized; you can and want to improve
forever, and you experience a sense of timelessness and flow. Operating in your zone of genius in
service of your WHY is a surefire way to produce the best results, and attain the highest degree
of sustained satisfaction in your life. Uncovering this zone often comes with understanding your
innate talent, something most of us neglect to identify.

L i v e Yo u r H i g h e r P u r p o s e

Typically, people equate talent with what they do–singing, playing a sport, or performing surgery.
But true talent has more to do with how you FEEL when you do your work. The genius is an
activity that you could do for countless hours with joy. This is not always straightforward, but can
be uncovered in your psychology and linked to your personal journey. Combine your passion with
your talent, and you have found your zone of genius.

Now, imagine waking up every day in this zone. Who would you be as the highest-performing
individual you could be, and how would your organisation benefit? What if your co-workers were
performing at that level as well? What would you accomplish?

While living and working in your zone of genius won’t always be comfortable — it will involve
pushing your boundaries in order to get to the next level where working in your zone of genius
becomes effortless — there is no question that harnessing your true potential leads to greater
productivity and satisfaction.

Lets Unpack Purpose


“Forget about the fast lane. If you really want to fly, harness your power to your passion. Honour
your calling. Everybody has one. Trust your heart, and success will come to you.” – Oprah Winfrey

We’ve all read the studies: healthy, happy employees make for successful, profitable companies.
And while it’s (fairly) straightforward to support physical health and wellbeing — how do we create
a culture of happy, purpose-driven people?

The solution, again, lies in the genius.

When your work and life is set up in a way that facilitates you and those around you reaching their
highest potential, they can expect three key benefits:

1. Happiness

When we are encouraged to explore our unique talents, strengths, skills and interests, we are
taking important steps towards a fulfilled life. Not only does personal fulfillment do wonders for
productivity, it also improves overall physical and mental health. The truth of the matter is that
happy people are productive people, and true happiness comes from having the opportunity to
live out our calling in a meaningful way.

2. Innovative Thinking

Embracing the zone of genius might mean veering away from job descriptions and strategic plans.
If you’re willing to take the leap, you’ll be rewarded with ideas that will breathe new life into your
work or company.

L i v e Yo u r H i g h e r P u r p o s e

3. A Stronger Team

When you and your team are performing at their peak, that power will have a ripple effect
throughout your company. You feel more energized and excited about your work and the work
of the company, and enthusiastic about moving shared goals forward. You are also likely to have
increased confidence, which makes you more likely to take on leadership roles and support your
teammates.

4. The Challenge of Genius

The great irony with the zone of genius is that one of the most common barriers to attaining this
natural state of flow is realizing that it is something that comes naturally to each and every one of
us. Most people don’t even see it, so they keep pushing and trying to improve their weaknesses,
instead of discovering and owning their genius, and putting that to work.

Keep exploring the question of “who am I?” It is the most rewarding question you can answer.

Have you ever experienced working in your zone of genius? What was it like?

Spend some time reflecting on this, maybe even mediate on it and see what comes up.

The Truth About Love

Self-love gets talked about alot these days. "You have to love yourself more." "Why don't you
love yourself?" "If only you loved yourself, this wouldn't have happened to you." "You can't love
another person until you love yourself first." These are just a few of the self-love directives that
we give or get to suggest a way to more fulfilment.

Self-love is important to living well. It influences who you pick for as a partner, the image you
project at work, and how you cope with the problems in your life. It is so important to your welfare
that I want you to know how to bring more of it into your life.

What is self-love?
Is it something you can buy in a beauty makeover or a new set of clothing?
Can you get more of it by reading something inspirational?
Can a new relationship make you love yourself more?
The answer to all of these questions is No!

Although they feel good and are gratifying, you can't grow in self-love through these types of
activities. Since self-love is not simply a state of feeling good.

Self-love is a state of appreciation for oneself that grows from actions that support our physical,
psychological and spiritual growth. Self-love is dynamic; it grows by actions that nurture us. When
we act in ways that expand self-love in us, we begin to accept much better our weaknesses as well
as our strengths, have less need to explain away our short-comings, have compassion for ourselves
as human beings, and are more centred in our life purpose and values.

Here is my Seven-Step Prescription for Self-Love.


1. Become mindful. Know what you think, feel and want. Be mindful of who you are and act on
this knowledge, rather than on what others want for you.
2. Act on what you need rather than what you want. Turn away from something that feels
good and exciting to what you need to stay strong, centred, and moving forward in your life,
instead. By staying focused on what you need, you turn away from automatic behavior
patterns that get you into trouble, keep you stuck in the past, and lessen self-love.
3. Practice good self-care. Take better care of your basic needs. Nourish yourself daily
through healthy activities, like sound nutrition, exercise, proper sleep, intimacy and healthy
social interactions,music, dance and hugs.
4. Set boundaries. Set limits or say no to work, love, or activities that deplete or harm you
physically, emotionally and spiritually, or express poorly who you are. This one is a challenge
at first but when you breakthrough, you are in a new dimension of experiencing self respect
5. Protect your shine. Bring the right people into your life. You most likely have "frenemies"
in your life. A frenemy is the type of "friend" who takes pleasure in your pain and loss, rather
than in your happiness and success. There isn't enough time in your life to waste on people
who want to take away the shine on your face that says, "I genuinely love myself and life."
You will love and respect yourself more.
6. Forgive yourself. The downside of taking responsibility for your actions is punishing yourself
too much for mistakes in learning and growing. You have to accept your humanness (the
fact that you are not perfect), before you can truly love yourself. Practice being less hard on
yourself when you make a mistake. Remember, there are no failures if you have learned and
grown from your mistakes; there are only lessons learned.
7. Live intentionally. Live with purpose and design. Get crystal clear on your purpose, and
set your intention to live it. You will make decisions that support this intention, and feel
good about yourself when you succeed in this purpose. You will love yourself more if you
see yourself accomplishing what you set out to do. You need to establish your living
intentions to do this.

Right now, choose one of the seven steps and take the action step of working on it. Once you
develop that one, pick another one and so on until you have done all seven.

Imagine how much you'll appreciate you when you exercise these seven-steps to self-love. It is
true that you can only love a person as much as you love yourself.

When you exercise all of the actions of self-love that I describe here, you will allow and encourage
others to express themselves in the same way. The more self-love you have for yourself, the better
prepared you are for healthy relating. You will start to attract people and circumstances to you
that support your well-being.

Living with intention

Do you know what kind of life you want to live?

Most people think they do, yet, really are just a passenger sitting idly, allowing things to happen,
situations to change, and moments to pass by.

For many, it looks something like this.

Marry my college sweetheart and move to the suburbs.

Finish my Master’s degree, get a "good" job, and start a family.

All before turning 30, of course. ;-)

Then something happens. Perhaps, a phone call that changes everything. A loved one is in the
hospital sick, and you only have a few days to say goodbye.

It's normally at these times where you become aware of your deepest desires, values, hopes and
dreams.

You quickly learn that your time here on Earth is too precious to live without purpose.

So, what to do?

Make a commitment to yourself TODAY, and make it your personal mission to live every day with
intention. Mindfully, choose how you spend each day, how you exert energy, what thoughts fill
your mind, what food fills your body, and what environment surrounds you.

Page | 9
O w n Yo u r S u p e r s ta r
L i v e Yo u r H i g h e r P u r p o s e

Thoughts create feelings. Choose them wisely.


Choosing to live with intention can radically improve your levels of happiness and fulfilment. So, I
want to share the four best tips on how to begin living an intentional life:

1. Dream big

Let your mind wander. What would a completely joyful, radiant, love-filled life look like for you?
A bungalow in Costa Rica? A daily yoga practice? Starting your own business so you can walk away
from your desk job? Only consider the “whats” right now, not the “hows” (that will reveal its self
as you start to take action). Focus on what you’ll be doing, where you’ll be living, and who you’re
spending your time with; not how you’re going to make it happen. If you jump into the logistics
right away, your mind will shut down and this brainstorming-dream session will come to a close.

2. Uncover your values

When you know what’s important to you, you can use that as a compass for each decision you
make. If your values include self-acceptance, health, and gratitude, you’ll likely choose to spend
your days practicing yoga, drinking green juice, and meditating, instead of drinking gin with your
girlfriends until 2 a.m. at the local bar. (Not saying that’s not fun once in a while ;-) So, what lights
you up?

3. Prepare for resistance

It’s natural to feel increased fear and self-doubt when examining your life, your choices, and your
routines. But know that resistance is a sign that you’re on the right path, heading toward your
higher self. If it didn’t matter, you wouldn’t be scared. The resistance is a sign that you must keep
going and do the thing you’re scared to do.

4. Take a step forward

Are your actions aligned with your values and your goals?
Make sure that what you’re doing today is preparing you for
the kind of person you want to be a year from now. What can
you do today to get you one step deeper into that amazing
vision you’ve imagined for yourself? Go do it!

Life is precious and time waits for no man. Live a full and
abundant life now, but always seek to raise the vibration,
reach your fullest potential and aspire for the things that truly
make life worth living. Love, connection, beauty, creativity
and abundance. And hey, for the spiritual junkies out there,
financial abundance is also important. Seek abundance on
all levels, and make a bigger impact by showing others how
wonderfully we can create our reality.

Being happy all year round

Everyone looks so much happier during summer time. It's so easy to be happy and joyful when
everything is good. The sun is out, vacation time is very soon here, or maybe you're already on
vacation and life just seems better when it's warm and sunny.

However, the real test is to be joyful and happy the rest of the year. Easier said than done, we
know. So here are our 10 best tips to living joyfully all year round:

1. Bring silence and stillness into your life

If we turn down the volume on all the noise in our lives, we’ll discover the amazing fact that silence
and stillness are already here. And when we intentionally allow ourselves to be still, we naturally
open to a deep appreciation of the present moment. We become relaxed, grounded and clear, and
stress begins to melt away.

How can you bring silence into your life? When can you stop and be still?

2. Clean up

Someone recently told me she feels disgusted when she looks into her closet because of all the
clutter. It‘s a shame because every moment of disgust is a moment empty of joy.

If there is anything you are procrastinating about, anything you can easily fix, anyone who drags
you down, pay attention. Don’t wait or settle for good enough. Carve out the time, figure out a
solution, and clean it up. You are making the space for joy, peace, and happiness to illuminate your
life.

L i v e Yo u r H i g h e r P u r p o s e

3. Mind your own business

Do you want to be unhappy and frustrated? Then try controlling things you can’t actually do
anything about. Like other people or the past or future.

If you are caught in an emotional reaction, turn the mirror onto yourself. Let the story go, and see
what is actually true in your experience. Bring compassion right into the places where it is needed
most.

Diligently work on the areas where you get stuck, and joy will naturally shine through you.

4. Give to others whatever you feel you are lacking

So many of us want attention, love, and understanding. We live in a state of lack, thinking that life
can begin if only we get what we think we need.

Consider that you may not actually need what you think you need. It might just be an old story
that has outworn its welcome.

Instead of living in lack, contemplate generosity. Give out to others what you want or need. Pull
out the stops in offering attention, interest, and caring. Your sense of lack will be transformed into
fullness. Believing you don’t have enough becomes love overflowing.

5. Use your senses

Life is so abundant right before our very eyes. Slow down and take the time to see, hear, taste,
touch, and smell. Eating an apple becomes a sensual delight, doing the dishes a symphony.

6. Recognize what is working

It is so easy to focus on problems and unhappy feelings. They grab our attention and just won’t
let go.

Take stock of what is working in your life. Is your living situation a good one? Do you know people
who you love and appreciate? Do you enjoy your daily runs or a good home cooked meal? Simply
look around you, and you may be surprised by the bounty that is already present.

7. Live in forgiveness

If a grudge is interfering with your joy of life, then it requires your loving attention. Don’t let the
minutes tick by while you live in self-righteousness or regret. Neutralize the stories from the past,
and make the choice to live joyfully now.

Page | 12
O w n Yo u r S u p e r s ta r
L i v e Yo u r H i g h e r P u r p o s e

Then live in amends. If you feel wronged by someone or you hurt another, deal with it. Don’t let
it fester. Make a lifestyle of living free from hurts and grudges. You will feel strong, clear, and
empowered.

8. Learn from life experiences

Sometimes, the road of life is a bumpy one. If you want to master joyful living, be open to learning
from the challenges that life brings you. Be honest about what buttons get pushed and recognized
when you have dropped into a hole that you can’t seem to find your way out of.

Difficult life experiences are designed to show us the areas in our lives where we are not yet
free. Use these situations well for your own liberation. You might have noticed that the teachings
come until we understand the lesson. If there is a self-defeating pattern playing out in your life,
slow it down so you can become conscious of what you are doing. Then make different, better
choices with your eyes wide open.

9. Be pleasant

No matter what is going on in your life, show up in an open, good-natured way. No one likes
Negativity. Stop complaining, and instead be patient, open, kind, and agreeable in your day-to-day
life. Don’t fake it, become it, default setting readjustment. Try the challenge of only saying positive
things for a week and see how it changes your life.

10. Move in the direction of joy

Every moment offers a choice. Take a look at your life, and it will show you what you value. Are
you choosing stress, conflict, and unhappiness?

Joy provides the perfect barometer for navigating through life. All you need to do is recognize
what brings you joy, then follow it. Simple, right? Make room in your life for what is positive, light,
and life-affirming. You would have mastered the art of joyful living.

Do you live joyfully? Where do you get stuck? Take the time now to reflect on these and see where
you could start bringing more joy into your life.

The Joy of Speaking your truth

“No, it’s fine.”


Perhaps, you often hear these words coming out of your mouth, a common refrain, contradictory
in grammar as well as what you really mean by it. Yet there it is, over and over again, in what sounds
uncannily like your voice. To the boyfriend who broke his promises. “No, it’s fine.” To the family
member who wanted everything to just be OK, when it clearly wasn’t. “No, it’s fine.” To the friend
who simply stopped showing up, until she needed something. “No, it’s fine.”

It's like the chorus of a song that keeps repeating on a radio station whose channel you don’t know
how to change. “No, it’s fine, it’s fine, it’s fiiiiiiiiiine.”

It's actually kind of easy to utter this phrase. To put what you imagine other people needed
before what you need. To be someone you think people want instead of what is true to you.

We're told how it's so important that you are seen as “good.” Good girlfriend, good student, good
daughter, good sister, good friend, good employee, good everything to everyone.

You didn't start out that way. Somewhere along the way, there was a shift. Perhaps, it was subtle at
first, so that you didn’t even notice. Maybe it became more prominent as people began responding.
What you likely do know is that once you felt the acceptance that came along with pleasing people,
it was difficult to stop. It became a snowball rolling down a mountain, gathering size and speed
until it was bigger than you were and it couldn't stop.

When you say, “No, it’s fine,” often enough, you almost start to believe it.

We’re never really told that we’re supposed to put ourselves before others. Quite the opposite,
actually. Selflessness is preached, and giving more is expected. Kindness above all, of course.

Page | 14
O w n Yo u r S u p e r s ta r
L i v e Yo u r H i g h e r P u r p o s e

Why does it take years for us to believe someone who tells us that it’s crucial to put ourselves and
our well-being first? That doesn’t mean we are selfish, or unkind.

When we hear this for the first time, we often start asking:

"What if I started expressing my truth, and people didn’t like it? What if they didn’t like me?"

Speaking your truth, especially in the beginning, is a difficult thing to do. There might be tears,
bewilderment, anger, and defensiveness. And a few times, you'll almost fall back on your previous
refrain, that old familiar chorus: "No, it’s fine.”

Being able to finally say it out loud feels like lifting a giant rock from your shoulders. Speaking
your truth won’t change the facts of the situation. It won’t change the outcome of events. But it
will change you. And ultimately, that’s all you can really change anyway. Ultimately, that will be
enough.

Speaking up requires determination. Being honest takes courage. But at the end of the day, our
truth is all we have.

So now, you're excited to grow your truth speaking muscles ;-)

Here's my top tips:


– Tune in

Make time to listen to your deepest needs - Journal. Speak voice notes to yourself. Reverence and
honour of yourself and your process are important as you grow into deep understanding of your
truth. Your body knows when you are giving it time. Make space.

– Establish trust with yourself

You’re going to realize that you are walking a path. That while you may be in process, you will
have different thoughts and feelings. It is a process of REVELATION. Memories, perhaps, that you
didn’t know you had, will come to the surface. Trust this process.

– Get seen

The fastest way to know your truth, to know that you are NOT crazy, is to be seen. Have others,
in a safe space, see what is true for you, see you wrestle, and bear witness to your life. This is
essential for human life, and for love, and for happiness.

– Find a partner in this journey that can support you (not a lover!)

A coach. A mentor. A guide of some sort that can actually support you in big ways on this journey.
Having a strong mirror and someone that can hold you AND push you as you grow which is
essential for big growth and for CLEARLY claiming the life that you so desire.

Page | 15
O w n Yo u r S u p e r s ta r
L i v e Yo u r H i g h e r P u r p o s e

– Start now

Even if your voice shakes. Even if you have to say words and then you change them, that is what
truth telling is about. Sometimes, it changes for you. Speaking your truth means that you are true
to what is TRUE for you in this moment, in this moment, and now in this moment. It is okay if you
change your mind. You can say yes. You can say no.

You can decide to change. It is okay. But you must practice to know what is true for you.

– Stop managing other people’s feelings

It’s arrogant, manipulative, and somewhat ridiculous to think we have the power to manage other
people’s emotions. We also use it as a cop-out not to really speak our truth. We can be aware of
and mindful of other people, and how they might feel (so we don’t end up being mean and hurtful
on purpose), but when we let go of taking care of others in a condescending way, it frees us and
them up to be grown-ups and have adult conversations, which sometimes, can get a little sticky or
tense when we’re speaking our truth.

– Be real, not right

This is huge when it comes to speaking our truth. When we focus on winning or being right, we no
longer can access the deepest places within our heart, which is where our real truth comes from.
When we let go of our attachment to the outcome of a conversation, what the other person thinks,
and our erroneous obsession with always having to be right, we give ourselves the opportunity
to get real. Being vulnerable and transparent are the key elements of speaking our truth, not
dominating the conversation and the person (or people) we’re talking to.

– Practice

Like anything and everything else in life – the best way for us to get better, deepen our capacity,
and grow is to practice. In this case, as we’re talking about speaking our truth, it’s not about “role
playing” per se, it is about speaking up and stepping out into your life with your truth. Will you
mess it up? Of course! Will you say the wrong things sometimes? Yes. Will people get upset,
offended, or defensive at times? Absolutely. This is not about being perfect, it is about being
yourself and speaking authentically.

Speaking my truth is something that often gets me into trouble, but it has also allowed me to
build relationships, built on realness and respect of being human, and therefore, not perfect.
Relationships that are tested with the truth will always be stronger than those that require a
mask, hidden messages and smiling through ones teeth. I don’t want to pretend about something,
or be afraid, or put myself into a corner where I don’t give people the chance to surprise me.
Most people loathe confrontation, as it's something that none of us have been taught how to do.
Speaking your truth could also be a form of carefrontation! LOL, I love this one I picked up from
one of my coaches, Lisa Nichols. While you might not always get the reaction you would wish to
get, you will always get the truth of where that relationship really is. And quite frankly, that's what
scares us the most. Living in the truth of what people are really feeling and think about us and our
opinions. Feel encouraged by this wonderful truth, the truth WILL set YOU FREE

Knowing What you want

Knowing what you truly want is a big part of being able to speak your truth. So many people
struggle with this and some people go their whole lives never really knowing what it is they want.

“I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up.” - Millions of people all over the world

Now, it's ok not knowing what you want when you're at school. Not knowing what you want in
your 30's or even 40's is a disaster.

A lot of people live their lives having no clue what they want. They usually fol-low the typical
dream without a second thought, just because that’s what’s ex-pected of them.

If you ask us, that’s a pretty lousy way to live your life. At the risk of sounding cheesy, we’d like to
point out that you have only one life; make the most out of it and do things that makes you happy.
And you should start right now!

If you don’t know what you really want in life, you’re not alone. Millions of people wander the
earth every day without a mission. If you don’t want to spend your life wandering aimlessly, we
put together these 7 tips to find out exactly what you want in life.

Be Selfish (aka turn on self love)

You can’t pinpoint exactly what you want in life if you’re constantly sacrificing your time and
dreams for other people. You have to put yourself first. Ask yourself: If you weren’t tied down

Page | 17
O w n Yo u r S u p e r s ta r
L i v e Yo u r H i g h e r P u r p o s e

by your job, family, friends, or anything else, then what would you be doing right now? Always
remember that it’s okay to put yourself first, because if you don’t, then no one else will.

Regret nothing

Don’t feel bad for being selfish. (aka turning on self love) It’s your life. It’s time for you to live it
exactly the way you want to. If you constantly regret things you did or didn’t do in the past, then
you won’t be able to move forward. Don’t live in the past. Live in the present…and the future!

Figure out what you need

Sometimes, it’s hard to figure out what you need. Sit down and think about what you need the
most. Is it your family? The freedom to express yourself? Love? Financial security? Something else?
If it helps, you can make a list of priorities. Also, think about the kind of legacy you want to leave
behind.

Determine what really bothers you

You can soar only by pushing back against something you don’t want. Figure out what upsets you,
and be specific about it. Don’t just say that you hate your office job. Pinpoint exactly why you hate
it. Could it be your micromanaging boss? Your workload? Your meaningless job title? Or all of the
above? What bothers you, and how can you fix it? How much do you want to fix it?

Determine what makes you truly happy

There’s no waste to life if you’re happy living it. Your happiness is the root of your desires. So take
a few moment and really think about what makes you happy. Is it traveling? Being around children?
Owning a successful business? Your significant other? Financial freedom? Once you pinpoint the
one thing that makes you happy the most, you’ll have a pretty clear idea of what you should strive
for in your life.

Let people around you know what you’re trying to achieve

Don’t keep your goals and desires to yourself. Voice it all out! If you tell people what you’re trying
to accomplish, they will most likely support you and give you new ideas.

Stay positive

Life doesn’t always go how you want it. Don’t feel dismay as your plans stray. Take control. Instead
of freaking out, try your best to roll with the changes. You will make it happen if you stay focused.
A positive attitude is all you need to keep going.

BONUS TIP!!

Take micro steps

Once you reconnect to your heart, and clear some of the mind chatter, Ask yourself: "What tiny
step can I take to move in the direction of what I want?"

You may choose to rephrase this question. If you do, make sure you keep the focus on ridiculously
tiny steps.

Sometimes, the tiny step is to lie down. Relax and recharge. Stop trying to figure everything out.
Stop stressing about the imagined future.

Micro steps are not only useful in accomplishing big goals. You can use them in everything you do.

The reason they work so well is that they bring you back to the present moment. Micro steps help
you focus on what you can do with what you have.

You can’t predict the future. You can’t control outcomes. But you can do the best you can, right
here, right now. When this realization sinks in, you relax and life becomes brighter.

AND most importantly, set up a reward for when you achieve your steps. Cele-brating the small
wins will help you maintain your motivation and momentum to reach your bigger goals

Knowing what you want is the key to a more empowered and focused you, so taking the time to
figure that out ASAP, will get you out of mind fog and mind fucks lol!! More peace, more focus,
more ease and joy in daily life. So here’s my challenge to you, let me know what you want and what
tiny steps you are willing to do NOW to embody your desire and start bringing it from the invisible
to the visible.

Practical Steps on
achieving your goals

So you know what you want to do and mapped out the next steps to get there.

Being an achiever means you set goals, make a plan, and execute until you reach them. Rinse and
repeat.

Sound familiar?

Or

You start a new habit, only to quit in frustration a few days later?

Well, what if we told you were doing it all wrong.

You see, we're raised to be go getters. Someone who sets goals, gets after them, and moves onto
the next one.

Why is this not good you ask?

Great question!

Stay with me on this.

So, when you're chasing goal after goal after goal, at a certain point, you lose momentum. You feel
tired, need more time off, lose motivation and start procrastinating.

How to beat lack of motivation and/or procrastination?

Gamification!
I have to give credit to my amazing coaches Kane and Alessia for introducing me to this cool
concept!

Gamification is simply bringing elements of games to other activities. Gamification is great


because it makes the hard stuff in life fun! :-)

First a few ground rules.


When you have these 6 things, you have a game, and you have a much higher chance of actually
reaching your goals. :-)

1. There must be a start and an end


2. There must be a specific measurable target
3. Set milestones - what are the small steps along the way?
4. Action Plan - how many x do you need to have? What do you need to do every day/
week/month to reach the target?
5. Have a control system - Find an accountability partner and check in once per week
6. Rewards & Consequences - If I achieve x I will… If I don’t achieve x I have to...

Having rewards AND consequences is essential.


Making sure you are rewarded for achieving your goals, no matter how small they seem is huge
in long term motivation. Make the size of the reward proportional to the goal, and you have a
winning system. When we get rewards, it stimulates the center of the brain that makes us feel
good. You now have inbuilt motivation.

Consequences are equally important.

"People will do more to avoid pain than they will to gain pleasure."
- Tony Robbins

Given that we'll do more to avoid pain than to gain pleasure, having a painful consequence for not
achieving your goal is another powerful motivator.

Using this method of goal setting and habit forming will massively improve your chances of success!

The Importance of celebrating.... Yes, even the small stuff ;-)

L i v e Yo u r H i g h e r P u r p o s e

Strive to think more deeply about what is really important to you. The idea behind this is that
the stronger the sense of purpose you have in your life, the more meaningful your actions are
as you take steps to fulfill that purpose. If you assume that at some level – even if it is purely
subconscious – you know what your purpose is, then it’s unfortunate that you rarely take the time
out to acknowledge the steps you’re taking to fulfill it. It is precisely this celebration that is needed
to keep you both driven and happy.

Now, don't forget to have fun with this. The space between life and death may not be as big as we
think. So making your time here significant is really all about "having game!" So let's go!! Game on!
Shine on!

What is the thing you want to achieve next? How will you reward yourself along the way and what
are the consequences for not doing it?

Maintaining momentum and


increasing happiness

Do you want to lead a happy, successful and balanced life, yet often find you lack the energy, time
and motivation to do everything you'd like? Sometimes, the choices you make lead you further
away from your goals. Incorporating some simple things into your life will bring a renewed sense
of vitality and wellbeing; greater contentment with where you're at; more enthusiasm for where
you're going; and a restored sense of balance in your life - less the stress!

And we all love less stress! :-)

So here you go, the 10 most effective tools for a happy, balanced and successful life.

1. Take Daily Actions Toward Inspiring Goals

Having a goal that inspires you makes life much more fun and exciting. It doesn't matter how
small your action is, but if you commit to doing one thing every day that moves you closer toward
your goal, you'll feel a much greater sense of fulfillment and purpose.

2. Nourish Your Body

You can't do your best if you are low in energy or sick. If you take your health for granted and
neglect your body, it will eventually catch up on you. Nourishing your body with nutritious and fresh
food, as well as drinking plenty of water will give you increased vitality and stamina to accomplish
your goals, and better health and longevity in the longer term. As for your favorite 'not so healthy'
treats, practice moderation.

3. Give Up Complaining for Doing

This is a GAME CHANGER! Is there something you find yourself continually complaining about
or annoyed by - a negative person, a situation, a dripping tap, or a noisy car? If so, ask yourself,
"Is there something I can do so I won't need to tolerate this anymore?" If so, do it! Perhaps, you
need to have a conversation with someone to address an issue - do it now. Otherwise, if it can't be
remedied, decide to accept it since complaining only perpetuates your suffering, and drains those
who have to listen to you.

4. Choose Uplifting Company

On that note, choose to spend as much time as possible with uplifting people who are positive
about life and encourage you to live yours fully. Their energy is contagious so well than that of
'energy drainers'. Minimize the time you spend with people who are forever whining about things,
zapping you of your energy and enthusiasm.

It is important to find people you can have relationships with that enjoy and have the same
values that you do. Keep an eye out for the events we host throughout the year; these are great
opportunities to meet such people.

5. Plan Ahead and Prioritize

There will never be enough time to do everything yet, there will always be enough time to do the
most important things. Using your time effectively requires that you clearly define your values
and goals, and plan ahead. Consistently ask yourself, "What is the highest value use of my time
that will make the biggest difference in the longer term?" Don't fall into the trap of letting the
urgent things continually distract you from the important.

6. Take "Time Out" for Just You

Nothing is more important than taking regular time out to catch your breath and 'regroup.'
Grabbing a quick 5 or 10 minutes to meditate during the day, particularly when you're feeling
overwhelmed, hurried or anxious is great. The simple act of just slowing down and deepen your
breathing. This extra oxygen in your lungs reduces your pulse, and lowers your blood pressure so
your heart doesn't have to work so hard. Another habit to enrich your life is putting time aside
daily, even just five minutes, to sit in silence. This will help clear your mind and rejuvenate your
spirit. Finally, try journaling to provide greater clarity on where you are, where you want to go and
the best way to get there.

7. Don't Over-Commit Yourself

By prioritizing the most important things in your life, it is easier to say 'no' to things that are not
aligned with what you value most. Before you say 'yes' to something, first consider what it will
require you to say 'no' to. You are doing a disservice to everyone, yourself included, when you take
on too much and get stressed out by trying to please everyone.

8. Nurture Your Relationships

Relationships are one of the richest sources of joy in our lives yet, often the time we invest in
them doesn't reflect their importance to us. Make a commitment to spend more time with those
you value most in your life.

This may require scheduling time in your diary, rather than just waiting for a day when you (or
they) have nothing else on. Practice listening more and speaking less, allowing yourself to be fully
present and open to receiving the richness of the time you share.

9. Exercise - Use the 1% Rule

You spend about 30% of your week sleeping, so it seems reasonable that you could put aside just
1% of your week to exercise. That works out to be approx-imately three ½ hour sessions (believe
us, we've done the math). Exercise increases your energy and reduces your blood pressure, keeps
your heart in better shape and the 'feel good' endorphins it releases improves your mood. It's a
no-brainer - so stop making excuses and get moving… today!

10. Let Go of Perfection

Focusing on what isn't 100% perfect in your life diminishes your ability to feel contentment and
appreciation for all that is wonderful. Also, if you need to have everything perfect before you
move on to anything else, you will get very little done. Give up doing what you believe others think
you 'should' be doing or striving to achieve some arbitrary assessment of perfection. Instead,
continually ask yourself, "What really and truly matters to me?"

PLEASE activate these into practice. The change happens NOT in the reading of this, but in the
activation of the truth you want to BE by taking action on the above steps.
