New Habits – The Master Key Week Two

We will not be bored during this Master Key experience. Besides 15-minute meditations, reading with enthusiasm my definite major purpose, the self confidence formula from Think and Grow Rich, the scrolls from The Greatest Salesman in the World and the Master Key, we now have two more promises added to this list.

One new promise is to complete something that is very doable as when you complete it, you will bask in the feelings of completion. This one for me will be a challenge as I am a doer and don’t take time to acknowledge the completion before on to the next task. I am good at accomplishing things but not very good at celebrating.

So even though this is a small new addition, it is so far the most challenging. Everyone in the program will have different challenges based on our past programming. My early programming didn’t allow for play and having fun and just being instead of doing. I just learned to plough through no matter what.

This early programming has affected me both positively and negatively. On the positive side I have been very productive. I have written and co-written over ten books (5 international best sellers), given over 1000 workshops, seminars and keynotes, appeared on national and local media, have taken thousands of workshops and have many certificates, certifications and degrees. In other words, I have been a very busy “doer”.

On the negative side even though I am a trained meditation teacher, I go through stages where I don’t stop long enough to even meditate. (Thank goodness that is one of the requirements of this program, as it is so important).

I haven’t watched TV for over 35 years and I very rarely stop long enough to watch a movie or just unwind. In other words, just “being” has been a challenge. And as a result, there was never any time for celebration.

The other tasks so far in the program have felt like tasks and that is my familiar habit, dealing with all the tasks for the day. Now I must add in the feeling of celebration like I won the Super Bowl or a lottery. This is my first major hurdle in this program as I will have to develop a new habit of celebration.

Quote from The 30 Laws of Flow

“Our subconscious mind is full of paradigms—those complex and habitual memorized behavioral patterns, (habits), emotional reactions, assumptions, values, perceptions, attitudes, beliefs or scripts that can act as filters to our experiences.

Generally, they are other people’s habits, instilled in us by our parents, teachers or caregivers and passed on to us genetically from one generation to another. Paradigms are deeply entrenched habits in our subconscious and guide our behavior and how we make choices. Our paradigms or beliefs control our perception, effectiveness, productivity, our ability to earn money, and much more. They even control our logic.

What we don’t realize is that our subconscious mind operates this programming for us approximately 96% of the time It is running the show, so our lives are created mostly from our subconscious programming on autopilot. It is like an internal map or blueprint that has to match the outside world. If we are not cultivating new habits, the old ones run automatically (even without our knowing it). “

So, as you read, you see we are ruled by habits and it takes a new habit to replace an old habit. Here’s to my new habit of celebrating my accomplishments during this Master Key experience.

To your success.
