Three Simple Steps To Creating Success In Your Family And Your Life

1. Celebrate the success you are creating right now. It may be true that things are not happening exactly the way you want them to; we all have those experiences. However, if you want to change your circumstances then you must be willing to first change your thinking about them. Focus on what is working and build on that rather than focusing on what is not working.
 
2.  Make a practice of being grateful for what you have now. Gratitude is recognizing the good in all things and giving thanks for it.  Give thanks for the blessings you currently have and then make plans to do even better than you’re doing now.  It is said that you cannot be open to new experiences until you are grateful for what you already have.  All really is good, and the more you appreciate it, the more of it you experience in your life.
 
3.  Use your brilliant, creative imagination to decide what you want your life to look like. You can be, do and have anything that you choose. The operative word here is “choose.”  You have to choose what you want your life to be like instead of respond to how your life currently is. The way you choose what you want your life to be like is by going into your imagination (yes, you still have one) and having a little fun. Begin using your imagination to create images of how you want things to be instead of how they currently are.  This is easier said than done because there are many distractions that keep us from focusing on what we want.
 
This is the challenge, and if you commit to celebrating your success, being grateful and focusing on creating what you want, you will absolutely see dramatic changes in your family and in your life - in a short amount of time.

3 Keys to Mastering Anything Quickly and Easily
By DeAnne Joy
 
The first key to mastering any new skill is to learn the fundamentals.  When you’re learning how to play guitar, how do you get good at it? You probably have a music instructor that teaches you the fundamentals in your weekly lesson, right?  Then, if you want to get really good at it, you practice. The more you practice, the better you get at it.  It’s the same thing with learning academics, a new computer program or any other new skill.
 
The second key to mastering anything quickly and easily is to get rid of the mental and emotional blocks to your success.  If you have limiting beliefs like, “I can’t do this”, “My mind doesn’t work that way”, or “Things never work out for me”, they will create a roadblock in your mind to reaching your goal. Likewise, if you have negative emotions like anger, anxiety, stress or frustration, it literally creates a short-circuiting in your mind and body that keeps the energy from flowing smoothly.  When the energy is blocked, you can’t be successful.  A quick and easy way to get rid of stuck emotions or limiting beliefs is to focus on what you want and take two deep breaths while imagining a place that makes you feel calm and relaxed.
 
Finally, see yourself succeeding. Anxiety is nothing more than worrying about something that hasn’t even happened yet.  One easy way to overcome anxiety is to fast forward in your mind to seeing yourself successfully completing that goal.  When you see it successfully completed in your mind, it removes the anxiety. This is also an extremely effective goal-setting technique. Fast forward in your mind to seeing yourself successfully completing your goal, see it in your mind as though it is happening right now, hear the sounds around you and feel the feelings of being right there having accomplished that goal now. It is simple. And it works.
 
The best way to teach your child how to master learning is to learn how to do it yourself.  For more information about summer academic coaching programs or trainings for parents and educators, visit www.SuccessTracksSCV.com or call 310-7981 for details.  DeAnne Joy is a speaker, trainer, academic success coach and co-founder of Success Tracks.
