Is Life A Head Game?

How you live your life is all in your head, right? And what does that mean, anyway? To me that implies that life is just a game, or that you can trick your head into any number of things. It does seem that some of the suggestions you get in life can feel like trickery or even slight of hand.

Could there be more to living a great life than tricking your brain — your head — into guiding you through a wonderful life? Is high performance living the result of a game you play with yourself, or is it the result of training that opens your heart and mind to better ways of living?

It seems to me that you can reach high performance living by learning to understand what’s holding you back, keeping you stuck, where your blind spots are, and what’s in your heart. That’s what my intention has been with my videos — to help you learn and understand more about yourself and how you can be more of who you want to be in this crazy world we live in.

This week’s articles and LIFE Live Streams cover these ideas (see the links below). I’ve summarized each of the articles, which are essentially the transcripts of the videos, so you can more quickly see which article/video is what you need right now. Let’s check them out….

From the comments and complaints by people in my life, and observations of others I get to watch, giving your power away is a common problem and reality. When you give your power away you don’t get to live your life. Others live your life for you with acceptable results or not. It’s time to reclaim your power and show the world what you have to give. Get out there and act on your strengths and passions. When you live on your terms — by your rules and standards — you grow in confidence and courage. That’s the way to conquer the world and enjoy yourself.

I’m passionate about helping people get their mojo — power and purpose — on so they can contribute to making the world a better place through the increased energy mojo gives us. That’s a big part of high performance living. This Stream video is a review of my 30-day challenge success and where I’ll continue working. Let me challenge you to a 30-day self-coaching to higher performance living and have you report your successes.

Stress is omnipresent in our lives. Are you staying mindful of ways to manage it so that it doesn’t overwhelm you? Do you track what increases or decreases its impact in your life? Unmanaged, stress will wipe you out like a tsunami. How do you recognize stress in your life?

It takes courage to recognize what your dreams are, what you heart wants. Do you have the courage to take a look and feel what your heart is seeking? It’s selfish of you to deprive yourself, and the world, of your gifts. When you don’t follow your heart and dreams you are depriving others of the talents and passions you have, and of course you are depriving yourself of a life well lived. Courage isn’t all that hard to develop. Are you ready to find your courage and start living your dreams?

Life is not the race for power and riches that we are lead to believe. When you follow your heart and make contributions to the world that are in integrity with you riches and power may follow. When you only pursue power and riches you may get to the end of your great adventure and realize you missed the point of life. It’s the pursuit of love and laughter that leads to a life of no regrets. Spend more time with friends and family, and with yourself, so that you do truly get more out of life.

Be careful of what you think. Your thoughts can be tricky and send you down a slippery slope of negativity that you don’t deserve or need. To live a healthier life it’s up to you to tame your automatic negative thoughts (ANTs). Those with ADD can really suffer from this symptom. I teach a framework to help you learn to tame those stinging thoughts.

Learning to which events and situations to accept in your life and which to let go can be tricky without the right tool. I give you the Decision Filter. Quit wasting your time and energy on the things you can’t change. Instead, focus that same time and energy on the things you can change so you can make your difference in the world. You’ll be more content for the effort and results.

Is life a head game? I guess if you play at life for the wrong reasons it is a game. But, when you take charge of yourself life is a great way of being.
