Meditation & Determination

When you have a goal to achieve, a huge project to implement or an ambition to realise, many obstacles can arise to thwart you, sometimes through circumstance.

Other times obstacles may appear in the form of critics, naysayers or people who generally stand in your way.

Sometimes these barriers appear in the shape of your own self-doubts and disbeliefs about what you are trying to achieve, whether it can be done and whether you have the ability to do it.

This is a variation of a meditation exercise, sometimes used in psychosynthesis. It can help to build your determination towards achieving your goal.

---------------------------------------

1) Think of a goal, dream or project that you are currently working on or would like to start pursuing.

2) Think of a symbol or an image that represents this goal.

3) Now imagine a large mountaintop and picture a giant version of the image or symbol of your goal on the top of this mountain.

4) Imagine that there is a path towards the image on the top of the mountain. Begin to walk along the winding path towards the mountain.

5) If there are detractors, critics or naysayers in your situation, they may try to lure you off the path. But you remain focused on the image at the top of the mountain.

6) You may hear words of doubt from your own mind telling you that your goal is impossible or not worth it. But you continue to focus on the image and climb towards the top of the mountain.

7) Once you reach the top of the mountain, unite with the symbol of your goal and become ONE with your potential achievement. Allow the energy of the symbol to fill your whole being.

8) Imagine that you have achieved your goal, what this means for your life and how it makes you feel. Stand on the mountain top while you savour your achievement and enjoy the moment as you survey the panorama before you from your vantage point on the mountain top.

Quotations

Here are some thoughts about determination and perserverance:

Success is a ladder you cannot climb with your hands in your pockets. ~American Proverb

Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines. ~Robert Schuller

When the world says, "Give up," Hope whispers, "Try it one more time." ~Author Unknown

One way to counter self-doubts and negative or self-destructive beliefs is through programming your subconscious through the use of repeated affirmations.

Your conscious mind observes "reality" and can be the constant cynic.

But your subconscious is more naive and accepts whatever it is told.

One method of bypassing the barrier of the often pessimistic conscious mind is through subliminal programming: feeding positive, nurturing and inspiring messages to your subconscious mind that cannot be heard by the critical conscious ear.

Your conscious mind will hear music and your subconscious mind will pick up the positive messages programmed into the music.

You can buy subliminal music but it can be more effective to make your own, using your own familiar voice.

You can do that using Subliminal Studio. With this product, you can create your own unique combination of positive affirmations using your own voice.
