Overcoming FEAR

Overcoming FEAR

#overcomingfear #selfdoubt #transformedlife


I never really knew how much fear ruined my life until I started working on my connection with my emotions, and my defensiveness, my anger, my moving away, not saying things to people I was thinking about not wanting to solve conflict were all rated related to my fear. And when I was afraid, I just either shut down or are powered in, did things that really weren't who I really was, because I just didn't want to experience fear. Most of us don't recognize that fear is the silent killer of relationships, the silent killer of vulnerability, it is our inability to recognize that we are afraid when we really are just behaving in ways that are editing who we are. Because there's something we don't want to experience. Like, we're afraid that we're not going to be successful, or someone's not going to like us, or whatever those silly things are, right. So fear is a powerhouse, of actually influencing so many things that we do. Now we do need to have certain level of fear because we need to be afraid of fire. We need to have courage when things show up that we're afraid of. But I'm talking about the low level of fear when you are actually editing your behavior because you're afraid of something. Overcoming This is being aware of what you're thinking about or acknowledging the fact that you simply are afraid that you can't predict the outcome that you don't know what's going to happen. So recognizing that fear has a big effect on you, really helps you become more powerful and choosing not to be afraid. In other words, the next time you feel like you can't do something, it's just because you're afraid. And just acknowledging that you're afraid will help it go away. So today, let's start acknowledging that I'm afraid and that's how we overcome it. I love you. I'm Dan Clark.

Positivity

#positivity #daisms #encouragment


Today we're talking about the power of positivity. Hello, I'm Dan Clark and welcome to two minutes of encouragement with transform life. You know, we're going to be talking about the power of positivity this week. That means that it's not about not just about seeing the glass half full. It's about practicing a positivity mindset that actually can transform everything around you. Because remember, how you see things is how they really are on the inside of you. And when you choose to focus on the good, you open the door to possibilities that you didn't even know were there. You become a magnet for opportunities and people will want to lift you up as you're lifting them up. Remember, positivity is contagious. It spreads generously, watch the world around you transform as you become more positive. Let's make today incredible, one positive thought at a time

Winter blues - Have a Conversation !

Winter blues - Have a Conversation !

Well, we are at the end of January. And I often hear this comment that they just can't wait for spring or summer to get here, because a lot of us don't really like the cold weather. And that's because there's something about it that just doesn't really feel heartwarming. And it's just whether we don't like, and I suppose there's nothing wrong with that, especially if you're raised in warmer weather. Now I'm in the Midwest. And that means that we get cold weather and warm weather depending on which is coming from the north, or what is coming from the south. So our weather is really not really consistent, even though we are in the Midwest, but we have a lot of winter, and we have a lot of hot summers. However, if you started thinking about how life is similar to that, there are times in life when it is just wintertime, you know, like nothing seems to be happening. Like there's this idea that you can't get things accomplished, or it's hard to get out of bed, or you just don't feel motivated to exercise or to eat right, or even just a, I don't know, call a friend to spend time with someone to do something that's enjoyable. That's not unusual during this winter time. And it's really, actually pretty normal, I believe, because we really don't like cold as a rule. Now, here's something I'd like you to be thinking about. If your life is like that, if you have periods of time when it's really difficult for you is because typically, there's something going on that we don't really recognize on the inside of us. And that can be very difficult. One of the things that I found that works really well for me is to spend time talking to someone about what I'm thinking about, did you know that if you are openly expressing the thoughts that are on the inside of you, that kind of releases that energy, now can be just a short conversation, 20 minutes or less. But if you truly talk about the things that are in the on the inside of you, it really helps clear up some of that negative thinking. And it helps also us become more motivated. Now that you need to be talking about the negative embed stuff that's happening in your world, but it's talking about how you're experiencing it. And then if you are talking to someone who isn't talking to you, or they're not giving you feedback, they're just letting you talk. That is the best way because when you are expressing what you truly feel without someone either interrupting you, or telling you what they're thinking it really helps a lot. So be a great listener to someone and also tell someone what's really happening on the inside of you and see if you notice the difference. I love you. I'm Dan Clark.

Transform Relationships by Transforming Ourselves

Transform Relationships by Transforming Ourselves

I've become very aware that I cannot change things that I cannot see. And we all know exactly what that's like. That means that if I don't really know what's happening, I can't change it, I can't see those things. And once I become aware of what's happening on the inside of me, I can actually change it. Most of us have a tendency to want to change the things on the outside of us, we want that person to be good or to behave or to not harm us, we want the world to be the way we want it to. We have so many things that we want to change about the world around us. What I'm saying is, is that the real change happens when you are aware of how you can change how you react to the things in your world, how you change how you see them. Because once you change the way you see it, and then you actually are aware of how you're reacting, then you can change how you see the world and the world will actually change for you. Because you can be more kind, you can be more gentle, you can be less reactive. It's all about being aware of what's happening on the inside of you. So today, let's focus on what you're doing, how you're reacting, what you're thinking about, and become aware of how you can move away from how you're thinking about you and how you're thinking about others to be become a more kinder, more gentle, more self aware person. Hi, love you. I'm Dan Clark.

The Most Wonder Day is Choosing to be Fully Present

The Most Wonder Day is Choosing to be Fully Present

If today was going to be one of your most perfect days, no matter what you have to do, what would you actually do today? How would you make it one of your most perfect days? Well, I've been practicing this for a while, by slowing down and paying attention to the things that I need to do, like not picking my phone up in the morning, not looking at my email until the afternoon, making sure that I have time to really pay attention while I'm driving my truck going somewhere, saying hello to people when I see them when I'm in town or in a grocery store, waving at people actually trying not to have a dialogue in my head about what's happening and just being present. And also making sure that I know what I'm doing each moment. In other words, trying to get out of automation, that automaticity that we all have on the inside of us, we just automatically go through those things. You know, like, for example, I had a couple of bananas for breakfast. And I just noticed as I was opening them up the texture and how they, I bruised it when I opened it up. It was kind of fun noticing that I had an apple for lunch yesterday had steak for dinner last night as I was eating and I was noticing how wonderful it tastes as I put each bite in my mouth was having wonderful conversations with a couple that I was eating dinner with. So your willingness to be absolutely in the moment creates this idea that you're present. And then you actually can have the most wonderful day because the most wonderful day is right now. It's not tomorrow, and it wasn't yesterday. So be more aware of what's happening around you. Be intentional and choose to do the things that you want to do by being focused and present with them. I love you. I'm Dan Clark.

Your Habits or Soft Addictions Steal Your Joy and Happiness

Your Habits or Soft Addictions Steal Your Joy and Happiness

want to know what the difference is between an addiction and a habit. Well, almost everyone that I asked this question to says the same thing. Well, an addiction is something that is an outside behavior that you're doing that you can't stop. Well, so it's a habit, right? It's an internal behavior that you can't stop. Now, there are life altering addictions, obviously, those are hard addictions. And then there's soft addictions, things that you do consistently, like, spend way too much time on Facebook or tick tock. Now, if you have a habit or an addiction, that you want to stop, the reason that those things are so difficult to stop is because we are not aware of the energy that goes on the on the inside of us that creates that addiction or that habit. In other words, you're not thinking, when we are able to think about what we're doing, we're less likely to do that behavior. Like we wouldn't choose to do something that's mindless, right? Usually when we're doing something mindless, like a soft addiction, like spending too much time watching TV, or like I said on Facebook, it means that we are mindlessly not present. When you are more present, and you're thinking about what you're doing, you're less likely to do an addiction that creates difficulties for you later on. So here is what I'd like you to be thinking about when it comes to your habits or addictions. Think about why you're doing them. Just sit and think about them. And when you catch yourself getting ready to do a habit, or an addiction, even though it might not be life altering, think about what is it effect on your life? What's enough, what's its effect on your life, and how is it affecting you doesn't really create the kind of person that you want to be now sure we want to be entertained. But in reality, spending way too much time doing things that are mind numbing means that we're not present and it steals from us the ability to have joy and happiness, joy and happiness comes from being present, not from doing mindless activities. I love you. I'm Dan Clark.

Making Decisions can be Difficult

Making Decisions can be Difficult

Making decisions can be very difficult, especially if they're a decision that has long term effects. And often, we are uncertain what to do I have been in that place. And I know you have to, well, here's something that maybe we could try that I heard about. And I kind of like this idea. And that is that think about first of all, when you have a decision to make, about what is it? What would life be like seven days from now? Yes. If you make a decision today about something that you want to do, or something that you want to need to do something that you may need to make a decision about, then if you forward seven days, what would it look like? What would life be like in seven days? isn't something that you'd be glad about? Something you'd be ecstatic about? Or something that maybe you will regret? Or you wouldn't like? So what would it be like if you made a decision today, seven days from now, here's the second part of this. Fast forward five years or 10 years? How would this decision affect your life? five or seven years from now? Now, often, our decisions don't have an effect long term. And sometimes they really do. But if you think about what it would be like seven, I mean, sorry, five years from now, or 10 years from now, then that puts it in perspective, doesn't matter what decision it is, it could maybe it's not going to really affect long term. If it is going to affect the long term life that you live, then maybe you should think about it in a different way. So learning how to put things in perspective, and pay attention to your gut on the inside can make a big difference on how well your life goes. Because remember, we live in two year and five year cycles. That means that the decisions that you made 10 years ago, and five years ago is how your life is going today. And the decision that you made two years ago is just now becoming fruitful. So if you practice thinking about forward, how your decisions affect your life going forward, it's a lot easier to make better decisions. I love you. I'm Dan Clark.

The Gut Brain Connection and Making Wise Decisions

The Gut Brain Connection and Making Wise Decisions

I know we've talked about the heart brain connection before. But I want to talk about the gut brain connection. There's some research out that came out a few years ago, talking about how important the gut was in connecting with a truth of what's going on around us. In other words, our gut kind of knows when things are right or wrong, or when things aren't going the way that they should be going. Or when things are going really well. I mean, no, there's that gut. This, you wish this hadn't happened, or there's this butterfly, that you are excited about what's happening. That's because our gut is our most mammalian brain type of connection, it connects with the deepest part of who we are. So learning how to pay attention to your gut reaction can make a big difference in how often you are right or wrong about decisions that you're making. You are so cognitive, we think so much in our current world, that we just use our brains all the time to figure things out, when in reality, our bodies know a lot more about what's happening than we do. That's because our bodies are connecting with that energy in the world instead of us thinking about it. And again, if we're just thinking about it, we're missing out on some great wisdom that helped us stay alive for all these years. So I have an idea for you. How about if we do something that might make it a little bit easier to listen to our gut, I heard this the other day. And I love this idea is called six breaths. What that mean? It means is if if you take six really deep breaths, and breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth, really deep pan, and then and then out six of them, and then listen to your gut, you're more likely to truly hear what's happening on the inside of you. And whatever the first thought is that you have really pay attention to whether it's the right one or not. And I tell you, I'm pretty sure most generally your gut is going to be right. When you're taking these deep breaths, what you're actually doing is you're suspending your thinking and connecting with your body and then listening to your gut. So again, if you want to make really wise decisions, if there's something that you need to make a decision about, try this. Take six really deep breaths in through your nose out through your mouth, and then listen to your gut and the first words that come to your brain are probably accurate. I love you. I'm Dan Clark.

Being Creative, being silly

Being Creative, being silly

Every one of us at one point, we're a child and children can be so silly. You know, they do things that are creative. And they can imagine, you know, just a rolled up piece of paper being something that's very important like a sword, or they can be riding in a toy car and pretend like they're going on to the moon and all kinds of silly things. And I know that you did things like that too, when you were a child. So here we are adults, and we are always acting like adults. But inside us is that same creative silliness. So the challenge for the day is to be thinking about what you can do to be silly or be creative for the day. It will be so much fun, it will brighten your day and also will help you connect with the things that you used to do and maybe even in joy, the way that you can be more childlike. And maybe those that are around you will enjoy it also. So brighten your day and do something silly or creative today. I love you. I'm Dan Clark.

 an assignment for today is to not have an opinion.

an assignment for today is to not have an opinion.

I know you've heard this before that opinions are like trash cans, and they all stink. And I'm gonna say that's true also. But here's something that I want you to practice for me. And it's an assignment for today. And that is to not have an opinion. What that means is is to not share your thoughts, things that you're opinionated about. And here's why. Because when you have an opinion, when you have a thought, or something that's just really important for you to share in a conversation, what that means is, is that you're actually judging the other person as being wrong. Now, you can argue with me about this point if you want to, but I'm probably right, that when you have a charge, and you feel like it's really important that you say what you're thinking, you're actually creating the idea that you're more important than they are, or you want to convince them about something that's true. And no one's going to be convinced, by your opinion, really, you know, I have ideas and thoughts by very seldom do I have real opinions, because none of us really know anything, for sure. I mean, there's so many things that we can't prove. It's just the idea or our past experiences that causes us to have strong opinions. Again, so the assignment is to not have an opinion today, don't share your thoughts. When you feel it's really important. Hold on to them and don't share them. Here's why. It will bring more happiness and joy to you. It will lower the negative energy in the moment, you'll have more peace, it actually will bring bring life to the conversation. And on top of that the other person may actually like you, even if you disagree with them, don't have an opinion and see how that feels on the inside. Now, the second part of this is that if you have an opinion, and you hold on to it, something happens to the inside of you. What that means is that you actually release the energy eventually, and you'll actually feel better, I promise. So practice. Have a new opinion today and see how it goes for you. I love you. I'm Dan Clark.

When you think of what you don't want, do you compare it to something that you don't have?

When you think of what you don't want, do you compare it to something that you don't have?

When you think of what you don't want, do you compare it to something that you don't have? For example, do you say I sure wish I had a better car. And yet, what that really means is that I do not like the car I have. If you say I wish I were happier, could it mean that you're really saying, I do not like how life is going, if your dominant emotion is what you do not have, believe me, you will get more of what you do not have. That's because your emotions are rewarded, not your words. So just saying what you want doesn't work. It's called faith. If you want a better life, then you have to choose to feel the emotions that you want to add before you have them. Most of us wait for things to show up to make us happy. But actually, if you're happy before things happen, you'll get more of what you like, because happiness preceding the event makes you happier. Why do you wait for an event or something to happen to be happy, you can choose to be happy, you can choose to feel joy, you can choose as if those things are already true, even though they're not. Because that's called faith. And when you do that, it creates an amazing thing on the inside of you. You actually draw more and more of that happiness and joy and the things that you're wanting to you. That's because it actually is manifest when you have the emotions in advance. Because again, your emotions are rewarded. That's how I meditate. I feel as if it's already true. And it manifests in my world. Hi, love you. I'm Dan Clark.

Choosing Happiness - Raising your energy by letting go

Choosing Happiness - Raising your energy by letting go

Did you choose joy and happiness today? Yes, I'm really serious about this. Did you choose joy and happiness? Or did you choose to be unhappy about the things that are happening around you? Now we all have things that we don't like that happen. I mean, sometimes that driver is just driving too slow. Or maybe the blinker on your truck doesn't work. Or maybe you get to the grocery store what you really wanted wasn't there? Like he can you choose to be okay with the things that you can't change? Can you choose happiness about the alternative, which is maybe you can get your blinker fixed tomorrow? Or maybe that person is driving slow for a reason? Or maybe those words that were said to you? Were really not about you. But there was that person was just releasing their own negative energy. But can you be happy? That's the fact that you could be that friend for them as there's things saying things that they need to get rid of? Can you choose happiness and joy more often? Well, yes, you can. It's called Raising the way you think about life, raising your energy, not being fake, but letting go of things that you cannot change. It's just true. And when you raise the energy on the inside of you, and you choose happiness and joy more often, including being more kind and gentle, being more forgiving, more tolerant, more accepting of what's happening around you. The magic begins to happen on the inside of you, you smile more, life goes a lot easier. And you don't have to worry about things not going the way you want them to because at some point, it doesn't matter. It's just true. That's how things are. So you're learning how to choose joy and happiness more often by being more kind, and gentle and tolerant and forgiving. I love you. I'm Dan Clark.

It's Just True - Accepting things you can't change

It's Just True - Accepting things you can't change

I was having an interesting discussion with a client today about the words, it's just true. And it is, it's just true. That means that things are just true. That's just what he did. That's just what she said, that's just what's happening. That's just what we're seeing in the world, it is just true. That simply means that you can't change those things that are just true, right. And if we can't change them, then our willingness to accept them as they are relieves the energy of wishing things to be different. And if you're always wishing or wanting things to be different, there's no joy in that. Joy shows up and we accept what's true. And we lean into the things that are working the way that we like them to. And we also let go of the things that we don't like that are happening that we can't change, and we accept them as true that actually creates joy and happiness, because then we're not pushing against them. Now there are things that we can influence. But those are minimal based on what's happening around us. The most influence we have is how we feel about things. And if you start choosing to look at those things as Yup, they're just true, and not making it a negative event. You will change how you feel and you'll also change the energy around you talked about this yesterday just a bit. But when you raise the energy around you, when you are more happy about what's happening or you accept that is just as true. You naturally let go of the negative energy on the inside of you. So practice that today. It's just true. I love you. I'm Dan Clark.

Delaying Gratification - Raising Your Energy!

Delaying Gratification - Raising Your Energy!

mental discipline is something that our culture doesn't talk about very often because it's very difficult mental discipline would be to delay gratification internally. Or to tell yourself No. Let me give you an example. No, I'm not going to think those thoughts right now. No, I'm not going to be angry about that right now. No, I don't need to be unkind, I need to be more kind. They need to be more gentle, more forgiving, more allowing of things to happen the way that they are. Often we feel like that when we have an emotion, we need to share that what we dislike, well, there's nothing wrong with that. But delaying the emotion of negative or dislike, or anger or hurt or upset, actually can really help you become the kind of person that you want to be. Because what you're doing is you're learning to walk in a higher vibration of what's happening around you. You don't have to always express what's true, because yes, I might feel hurt. But it's how long I hold on to that hurt and how much I value that relationship that I'm in whether I'm going to express it or not. Because sometimes it doesn't really matter. You know, someone cuts me off in the, on the road, or if someone cuts in front of me in the grocery store line, it doesn't matter how hurt I am or how bad they are, what matters is how kind I am. And if I learn how to have a higher level of thinking, and being more gentle and kind first of all with myself and then with others, it's life changing. So practicing telling yourself No, you don't need to feel that right now that you can let go of it and move on is the most valuable gift you can give yourself because that way you're truly disciplining your mind and being the kind of person that you really can be, which is more gentle, more kind, less judgmental, more forgiving. I love you. I'm Dan Clark.

The Ten-Second Rule

The Ten-Second Rule

Here's a fun exercise I want you to try. I want you to close your eyes and then count to 10. But while you're counting to 10, I want you to practice thinking about nothing but listening to your heart. Close your eyes. Listen to your heart and count to 10. What is your heart saying to you? And maybe take a breath, take a deep breath or to what you're going to experience is a calming on the inside of you. That's fascinating. This isn't hard to do. And you can do this as often as you like, but it's a 10 second rule. Slow yourself down, close your eyes. Count to 10 Listen to your heart. And what is it saying to you? I love you. I'm Dan Clark.

The Magic of Appreciation!

The Magic of Appreciation!

I love thinking about the word magic or magical. And that's because there are some things that are just magical when you apply them, particularly to relationships. Now, when you appreciate someone, it actually helps them feel like you're thinking about them, saying something just as simple as I appreciate you calling me. Thank you for following up, or thank you for having coffee with me, or thank you for spending time with me. Thank you for saying hello to me. I appreciate what you're doing for the world. And for me and just for your family. Appreciating someone really helps them connect with you in a very magical way. And here's why. We all think about ourselves more than we think about anyone else. We are evaluating the world based on how we are experiencing the world. We're syncing emotions that are happening around us, and deciding whether we're doing well and how people are responding to us. So we're thinking about ourselves and evaluating who we are based on how the world is treating us and how we see things what our perception is. So when you start appreciating those that are around you, I mean, definitely connecting with them in a respectful or appreciative way. And using language like that. You get into their self talk and they feel like you are noticing them and you're seeing them and they want to be with you more often they will treat you differently. It's not anything that's hard to do. But it really deepens the connection that you have with everyone at whatever level that relationship is. So remember, appreciating someone is magical and creating a better relationship with them. I love you. I'm Dan Clark.

YOU CAN - STAND TALL TODAY !

YOU CAN - STAND TALL TODAY !

Yes, you can, I'm giving you permission today to stand tall and to be your best self. You know, this internal idea that we are worthy or important often escapes us. But there are times when you feel that way you feel like things are going well. And you can stand tall and have, I don't know, the idea that life is going the way that you want it to. And if you choose to feel that way, if you choose to think that way, you can have really the best type of day ever, because you're raising the level of your energy. You're committed to being and doing the best that you can, you know, the more that you commit to follow through on the things that you say you're going to, the more that you choose to be in integrity with yourself. When you say you're going to do something, you keep your word to yourself, it changes how you feel about yourself. And often this lack of internal integrity inside us, we don't really follow the things that we say we're going to do for ourselves. It creates this internal dialogue that we're not good enough and we're not worthy, or whatever those things are that we say to herself. So what I'm saying to you today is again, you can do this, you can stand tall, feel like that you're worthy and you're important, and walk in a way that you feel like that you are accomplishing what is laid before you in a very positive, healthy way. Because you can do whatever you decide that you want to do. And believe in yourself like you've never believed in yourself. I love you. I'm Dan Clark.

Lighten the mood

Lighten the mood

is today one of those really busy days? And do you have plans for the evening? Well, I've been thinking about lightening the mood, you know, making it lighter. So I want you to notice the dominant body sensations that you're having right now. Take a moment slow down and notice what is the body saying to you? What are the sensations in your body? Do you notice any emotions that you're experiencing? And how do you feel? Now let's choose it. Let's choose right now to be more aware of what's happening on the inside of us and choose to lighten that mood to smile and create more joy and happiness to walk lighter and have a most wonderful rest of the evening. I love you. I'm Dan Clark.
