3 ways to boost daily practice
Through Dollar Dream Club, the skill of manifestation is a simple craft, easy to learn, yet incredibly difficult to apply, and the practice is the challenge. Being consistent and persistent on building the skill and manifest and visualising is how the skill develops and is key to your success.
Dollar Dream Club lessons hone this skill, building it up each day, with new activities to apply each week. Each activity takes you to the next step and level of visualisation, and this layered approach is to remove the pitfalls of what can happen along the way.
Kenneth Wong shares “you are always manifesting your reality because the universe is always responding to your energy- whether you feel it or not.”
Identify the internal mind block
Avoid you being the obstacle, and detractor of the outcome. To do this, we have to identify what the block is within you, have a look and see if any of these areas connect to what could be a block in your daily practice
Overwhelm
You overwhelm yourself your excited and eager. You start with chants, mantras, affirmations, repeating it every hour to max out the outcome, being overzealous is subtracting energy, not adding.
Consider: Slow down, commit to one action. Creating a calm approach, steady, gentle and natural will aid you better in achieving the results and connecting to your practice.
Based on fear and worry
We all carry fear and insecurities within us. Doubt can feel like a physical weight, overcoming, noisy thoughts that destabilise us in basic actions and responses. We allow it to become.
Consider: writing down all your fears and before any visualisation practice. This acknowledgement is powerful as we can’t carry two thoughts at any one time, your positive will overcome the negative if you allow it.
Judgment and Assumption
An honest approach to how we judge and assume ourselves and others also sits with a block for visualisation. We would be naïve to believe that we don’t do this judgement behaviour, yet we do. Accepting that we do, understanding why we are allowing this thought to be heard is another. We all do it, compare, judge others through their appearance, lifestyles, options, and anything that we can blame others as it is easier to project than to deal with our inner conflict.
Consider: creating a journal or phone notes when these instances occur recognises them as the first step to dealing with them.
When I started to recognise some of these obstacles within myself, my life changed; my lack of became abundant, my losses became growth. Dollar Dream Club grew into today after I realised I was the biggest block, the most prominent sceptic, the biggest naysayer.
My scepticism, negativity, became my block to many things mostly my progression. My lack of self-care, alcoholism, overeating, not connecting with others, hiding away, withdrawal from something I loved and this period lasted a long time, over 15 years.
Three ways to boost visualisation practice
All of these internal actions impact how we do in our daily “practice”, and they can pop up in the middle of a great session here's three ways to boost your Practice
1.Triple-A technique
When I was struggling with waves of negativity, I wrote this technique to aid me. A neuron boost based approach that unblocked me from progressing focused me on acting correctly for myself removed the overwhelm, boosted me to positive from negative responding, eliminated high comparison and cancelled assumptive judgement of myself and the ones I passed to others.
Apply instantly when you feel “blocked, overwhelm, negativity” and move back into visualisation practice.
2. Nature
The power of nature should never be underestimated. So many studies are connected to our positive stimulus and outcomes when we sit within natural environments.
Yoshifumi Miyazaki, a forest-therapy expert at Chiba University in Japan, found that people who spent 40 minutes walking in a (cedar) forest had lower stress hormone cortisol levels when compared to 40 minutes walking in a lab. May seem obvious, yet it's one we don’t do regularly- daily. Open your window, breathe in the air. Create mini routines around breaks in the outside, take a chair outside and have a coffee break, allow fresh air to circulate, open a window.
Ecotherapy, Forest bathing or as the Japanese call it, shinrin-yoku, all connect us to ourselves. The impact of nature is no more amazing than in hospice care. Gardens being visible from hospice care beds and our mortality connection boost the positive approach to terminal and respite care and ease the patient through trauma, personal acceptance and mental neutrality.
Another study in a 2015 study, researcher Paul Piff of the University of California found that people who spent 60 seconds looking up at towering trees were more likely to report feeling awe. “Experiences of awe attune people to things larger than themselves,” says Piff. “They cause individuals to feel less entitled, less selfish, and to behave in more generous and helping ways.” The benefits of awe are physical too: regularly experiencing awe has been linked to lower levels of inflammatory compounds in the body.
Even the simplicity of house plants, growing, nurturing, feeding and maintaining them, and the oxidation and natural benefits they create. It is scientifically proven even the stimulus of natural “plant” artwork has an impact, so if you can’t get into nature, you don’t want to grow plants in your home. Get some faux plants and some natural artwork up, and you can start to see. The key to finding the block is to ensure that you take some action to remove it.
3. Power of words
We use the power of language layered throughout Dollar Dream Club; in all we do in RLC Global, our business Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner Program- FireStarter. Our language is intentional, the impact this makes boost your opportunity to manage, remove and deal with any internal blocks you may encounter.
Even more so using our words in our emotional context and developing emotional granularity
As part of the progression in the past 50 years in neuroscience the ways our brains work, amongst many things- no left or right brain, we utilise the whole brain, no specific regions for emotions, the 19th-century Phrenology heads no become relics of what was once thought.
We are also starting to understand the substantial positive (and negative) impact of words and their use on neural growth, degeneracy and self-growth. Using emotional granularity as a starting point learning how to use more words to describe your feelings and sensations allows you to connect better to physical, physiological and internal neural, internal, brain function, and responses.
We can use the updated versions of The Feeling Wheels to expand and build this skill when applied to our visualisation. We can detail using more granularity and make the visualisations more real than ever before. Powerful and very impactful in daily practice.
Lisa Feldman Barrett explains (also back to nature), “I developed an awe-inspired concept of being enveloped within nature and feeling like a speck. This concept helps me change my body budget whenever I want. I can notice a tiny weed forcing its way through a crack in the sidewalk, proving yet again that nature cannot be tamed by civilisation, and employ the same concept to take comfort in my insignificance.”
Using these three ways to overcome blocks will boost your daily practice, allow it to be a natural process and enjoyable as you continue to develop, hone and benefit from Dollar Dream Club.
