Front Line Report: Stop Bullying Now!
For those of you who know my work, you are probably aware that I work in the corporate sector. Many years ago the parents in these organizations began asking me to train their children.
As a result, my business partner, Lynne Truair and I formed a non-profit company called World Youth Network International (WYN).
I wrote an extensive curriculum for K-12 on balancing intellectual, emotional and social competencies.
Today, this prevention program as well as our intervention programs are in over 500 schools internationally. Our intervention anti-bullying program is titled Breaking Out of the World Game.
This report came from Louise MacKay, a principal at St. Luke’s in Melbourne, AU. She and principal, John Faulkner, are certified trainers for the program in Melbourne.
‘I just felt that I had to share it with you…”This is the display I organized for our curriculum expo. The year 5/6 children asked that Breaking Out of the World Game be displayed because it is very important for the younger children to learn it.The photos were all taken during St. Luke’s Program. John and I start the Year 3/4 program on Monday at St Luke’s and Thursday at John’s school followed by a parent information afternoon for them.Just to let you know that we are still spreading the good news!!!’
One Minute Meditation: Goal Achiever
One Minute Meditation: Energy Up!
Shift This Moment & the Next Will Follow
Whenever I talk about the One Minute Meditation (see video here) people ask me to teach it. I was in Adelaide about seven weeks ago and I had approximately 100 people in the room. I happened to mention that I use the One Minute Meditation when I’m feeling stressed or I’m not on my game and it was a room stopper. The entire group responded affirmatively when I asked if they wanted to learn it.
It was pretty amazing. The room was in an active state and within one minute of ‘breath in – be still, breath out – let go’ the entire energetic field shifted. The feeling was palpable from high energy moving in all directions to a sense of stillness, presence and focus.
I have since received a tremendous amount of feedback from these and others who are using the One Minute Meditation. Here’s what one person communicated…
“When I feel stressed or I’m beginning to feel edgy, I turn my attention inward for a moment, take a deep breath, and say the words you taught us – ‘be still, let go’. It’s amazing how quickly I can still my mind, reconnect with myself and shift into present time. Thanks for that. I would recommend it to everyone in these stressful times!”
So with all of this feedback and after much consideration, I have decided to share a few more of these short one or two minute meditations. These are One Minute Meditations that I use and they come from my private tool chest. Each fulfills a different purpose, but they will all strengthen your mental focus, enhance the energy of the heart and amp up the power of your intention.
Just as we are learning to do core training for the body, these short meditations are like core training for the heart and soul. Each meditation will help you shift your awareness, energize your presence in the moment and change all the moments that follow.
Thank You, Steven Jobs
One of the great geniuses, one of the game changers on the planet, one of the mentors & ‘magicians’ who transformed every aspect of our lives has left this world.
I have no speech, no written words. I haven’t got the ability to translate my feelings into words. I just personally want to thank the man who changed my life in a very personal and profound way.
In 1984, the year of the first Apple computer, my dad sent me a first generation Mac. I was living and working In Reno, Nevada. When this large package arrived on my door step, I didn’t know what it was or what to do with it.
In fact, I opened it and left it standing in the middle of my living room floor for almost two weeks. I remember pacing, looking down at it sitting there in it’s plastic wrapping on the floor, wondering what I would ever do with such a thing.
Periodically, dad would call and ask me how I liked the gift he sent. “It’s a computer,” he said. “plug it in. Use it. You’ll love it.”
I finally took it from its wrapping one day and started to touch it, slowly at first, afraid that it would break. But soon, I forgot the fear and it magnetized me with its wonder.
I have written 4 books on the Mac since that time, an entire K-12 curriculum, stories in Chicken Soup for the Soul, and coauthored many books with such men as Steven Covey and Jack Canfield. Steve Jobs released the creativity in so many of us around the globe.
All I can say is thank you, Steven Jobs. Every Job you came to do has been done. You have transformed the lives of all of us and the world as a whole!
The Attractor Factor
Since the ‘Thoughts Turn Into Things’ blog, I’ve received so many comments on Facebook and personal emails that I thought I would follow up. Here are some further reflections on the power of a human being to create his or her own reality.
The key to your success lies within you. All you have to do is manage your mind (or your loose canon thoughts). Then train your brain. Finally, harvest the fruits of your creation. You are harvesting the fruits of your creation anyway. Your mind is the attractor factor. Your past repetitive thoughts have become the reality you’re living right now.
If you want to change your reality:
- Wake up and stay awake!
- Start to observe your recurrent thoughts and thought patterns.
- If you find yourself circling back on some of the old negatives:
- Freeze frame
- Take a deep breath
- Change that thought
- Repeat the powerful positive mantra and energize with positive emotions of gratitude (as recommended in my last post).
- Remember to remember to do this every time you catch yourself thinking a negative thought.
Your miraculous brain is under your command! The more you train your brain and manage your mind by focusing on your positive powerful mantra of choice, the more you accelerate the reformatting process. Your brain will begin to delete any old unused pathways and the new neural pathways that you embed will start to take over.
we create our own reality.
