St. Thomas Real Estate Trends

WANT TO MAKE 2012 DIFFERENT ? How about something unorthodox for a real estate site?

Today I want to share the concept of "Inner Identity" and how it can “make or break” your new year’s resolutions or any goal you may set!

It's a really simple concept, yet most of us go through life never really understanding it. But when you do, you'll realize why resolutions break, goals stay unrealized.

You, just like everyone else on the planet, harbor a persona inside you.

This persona is shaped by everything you've learned from the influences around you.

Like your parents, teachers, preachers, the media and the government.

Once you connect with this persona, or "Inner Identity", you'll begin to understand exactly how to set and achieve any goal you set for yourself - New Year resolution or otherwise.

There are 3 steps to doing this.

But first you should realize - Your Inner Identity influences every aspect of your life.

Like your self-confidence. Your success at work. Your intelligence. Your beliefs about life. Your wealth, weight, relationships, goals... everything.

The problem with most people is they set goals and resolutions on a conscious level - without first checking whether these goals resonate with their Inner Identity.

Here's an example.

Let's say you make the conscious resolution to grow your income by 10% in 2012.

You write down an action plan. You make it a point to work harder. To get closer to your boss. Yet despite your valiant conscious efforts, your subconscious Inner Identity might just be sabotaging you with negative beliefs and thought patterns in relation to wealth.

It could be something you were told as a child, like "money is the root of all evil".

Or it could be a hidden belief that you're not smart enough, or good-looking enough, or lucky enough to ever make it big.

How do you pick up these beliefs? Like I said earlier, they can come from anywhere...

From your high-school teachers, your best friend, TV shows, right down to well-meaning parents who just didn't know any better.

Often, you'd be surprised at how deeply rooted these ideas are - to the point where even if you know they're there, you just can't do anything to stop them from affecting you!

The only solution?

Shift your Inner Identity to a more positive state.

The key to shifting your Inner Identity is to gain EXPERIENCES that affirm the new Positive belief or thought pattern that you're trying to create.

For instance if you want your Inner Identity to believe that money is a tool for good, you should meet and talk to people who embody that belief.

Once your belief starts to shift, your mind will automatically begin to shape beliefs and thoughts that support it.

In other words, your experience shifts your inner identity of WHO YOU ARE.

But this is where it gets interesting:

Your subconscious mind, as powerful as it is, CANNOT different an imaginary experience from a real experience.

Which means you can create experiences in your mind that simulate a real physical experience.

How's that for a handy shortcut?

This is where the art of Creative Visualization comes into play. Here's how you can use Creative Visualization to shift your Inner Identity in 3 easy steps:

Step 1: Get into a relaxed state of mind.

First, Meditate or lie in bed (without falling asleep of course). The idea here is to slow down your brain waves to the Alpha level of mind, the level suitable for mental programming.

Step 2: Imagine a screen in front of you.

Once you're in the Alpha level, think of a movie screen.See it at least 6 feet in front of you, big and wide as if you're in a cinema. On this scene, imagine your current situation. See the pain, feel the discomfort, see how your current unwanted situation is causing unhappiness in your life. The important part here is to feel the discomfort of this situation. Tell yourself mentally that this is not ideal and that you no longer wish this in your reality.

Step 3: Imagine yourself wiping the screen clean.

Move the screen 15 degrees to the left (because your subconscious associates the "left" with your future.)

Now imagine the ideal situation: your life with money, or health, or perfect relationships. Feel the positive emotions associated with this image, because a thought without emotions is powerless. Now bring in your other senses. Feel the wind blowing in your face. Imagine texture and temperature. The more senses you involve, the more real the image becomes to your conscious mind.

Spend between 5 - 10 minutes experiencing this positive scene in your mind.

You may not see results immediately - but keep doing this, and over time your belief patterns will start to shift.

And you'll be surprised at how this shift shows itself.

You may catch yourself thinking more positive thoughts, or intuitively making better decisions in relation to the belief you were trying to fix. I've seen people make dramatic changes in their personalities, careers, love lives and health using this one simple technique.
