Attitude, Change and Personal Power
"The biggest battle you and I will ever fight is the one in our mind. Our mindsets determine our future". Pastor Kirk Bowman
Attitude is vastly important and changing your breathing changes your attitude. How would YOUR attitude change if you laid your burden down or suddenly tripled your energy.
Even without optimal breathing and a healthy body to make it happen & then enjoy it, attitude can then at least have a strong spiritual component that transcends the worst that life may offer Auschwiitz survivors will attest to this) If we want the VERY BEST in prosperity and spiritual experience then our health and breathing must be excellent.
A changed attitude means little if it does not impact something that you are doing. To make it real in the outside world such as with your relationships, health or commitment to excellence REQUIRES the skills of implementation. You must participate and take action to create that which stems from your changed attitude.
Handling change and staying focused and balanced is a skill.
Optimal breathing is a skill and it is largely the vehicle for body/mind/spirit interconnectedness. Poor breathing causes
thoughts to run amuck and attitudes to inappropriately change from
moment to moment. Our thoughts guide and are mostly senior to our
breathing but our breathing propels us forward either in direct or
indirect, healthy or unhealthy ways. Hidden agendas often stem from
unresolved emotional issues/patterns that are locked up in the
breathing body
and restrict or distort the way we respond. Many of you can relate
to this I am sure.
From sickness to good health, from good health to great health, from
a thin, week restricted voice to peak performance on stage or in
competition sports, once we learn to develop the optimal breath and
integrate our thoughts with that - or visa versa - we then have the
mind/body/spirit integration that feels like wholeness, ease and flow. We can then manifest our
vision with maximum focus and
dependability.
We CAN create the life we wish to live. The powers of focus and persistence are senior to most others; even genius, talent and education. We still must enter the game, pay our dues and take our chances. If we do not dream big our big dreams can not come true. Homework, hope, hard work and opening a space (via prayer perhaps) for quantum progress are key ingredients.
Immediately following an Optimal Breathing Stress management workshop in a maximum security prison ward of a local county jail I was asked by one of the inmates "I feel really peaceful inside. More than I can ever recall being before. Could you tell me the significance of that" I answered him "If you feel anxious and angry you will choose activities that stem from that. If you feel calm, peaceful, warm and unafraid you will choose activities that stem from and support that way of being. You now have the choice of how you manage the way you think, act and feel. Which would you prefer?" He smiled broadly, seeming much relieved, warmly thanked me, and sat down.
"Enthusiasm is contagious. It's difficult to remain neutral or indifferent in the presence of a positive thinker". Dennis Waitley
Develop your breathing and watch your attitude change as you get more in touch with your internal felt sense of power; your creativity and ability to stay in the "zone", regardless of the circumstances. If you fail still again, know that THIS time you will recover quicker and try again and again until you succeed. The foundation of focus and persistence is in your attitude and the way you breathe.
