Shift when you drift

Commitment to learn from every experiences of every moment, instead of the usual actualization of our self defense mechanism by stonewalling, explaining, justifying, withdrawing, blaming is much more important than anything else in the moment. Being open to learning is to be in charge at all times. You can choose to shift out of being defensive into being open to learn.
Spiraling up instead of spiraling down. Let say you are driving to work and the first thing that happen is someone is cutting you off and has you blow the horn he demonstrate that you are #1. You react and want to get even with this guy. So in turn you are cutting someone else off so you can catch up with that @#$%&$# and show him. You arrive at work and your mind is on that guy that cut you off and made your day miserable and from that point everything is going down. Use your imagination and see what happen, getting thence, frustrated telling everyone that wants to hear about your driving to work experience. The whole day is going to be based on frustration and nothing is getting better. That’s spiraling down.
Let’s take a look at a different approach. The same guy is cutting you off at the same place. No blowing the horn so no fingering instead smiles and wave take a couple of deep breath and relax. One of the thing that could happen is the fellow that cut you off, as you smile and wave, might think “shocks I just cut off someone that knows me” now where do you think the frustration is? On him. And has you proceed to work with a smile on your face your co-worker look and wonder “how come he is so happy first thing in the morning” That is spiraling up because from to moment on the day unfold in a good spirit. Commit to learn in every moment.
Other ways to make a shift? Try speaking authentically, truly loving the experience, recommitting to your ideals, moving your body in a new way, or using this challenge as another opportunity to get closer to your Essence. Fun.
“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness concerning all acts of initiative and creation. There is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans; that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen events, meetings and material assistance which no one could have dreamed would have come their way. I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe’s couplets: ‘Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now!’” ~ W.H. Murray
Whoa that sorts it all out very concise and very clear, no mystery, Re-committing every day every moment of every day to whatever we are dreaming off and working on, continuous flow of self generated motivation by agreeing to move forward by re-committing, keeping at bay the wobbly attitude, the lack of confidence, the discouragement. When I travel by plane I usually listen to the pilot conversation with air control. Continuous re-committing to the destination correcting and re-correcting the fly pattern, every so often air control would interfere and give the pilot new heading altitude and speed. What would happen if the pilot decided that this is not working I can’t keep that plane in a straight line, I can’t fly this thing it’s changing heading all the time I give up…. Think about it, your life is like flying that plane continuously correcting taking advice and correcting again and again and again. That’s it re-committing to the outcome and go with the flow.
In the past few years I have personally used a technique called The One Command. I encourage you to investigate. It is bringing me closer and closer to my life goals and already I have witnessed great success because of it. Visit my link. http://tocleaders.com/bernardt/
