How to Instantly Access the Best Version of Yourself
There is a ceremony that certain extraterrestrials partake in. In fact, this is the same ceremony that was taught to ancient warriors here on earth many thousands of years ago.
They search for a water fall in a forest that is high but not too powerful so that they can stand underneath it.
They realised that in order to operate at their highest self, to be on top of their game. To be their absolute best.
They needed to let go of their past and other self-limiting beliefs that would fill them with fear in the coming hunt.
If they were not at their best when they took on a large beast then they would not only fail to provide food for their village but most likely they would be killed.
If, however, they could access a state that they were at their peak in terms of being focused and alert. Then they would stand a much better chance of being successful.
It is our past that holds us back. If, on a previous hunt, things went badly and we were almost killed. Then we will carry this fear into the next battle.
It will hold us back, it may paralyse us with fear. We will just stand there, unable to move, frozen in fear as the angry bear or elephant charges at us.
We shall die a brutal death because our past experiences and our beliefs that we are not worthy or capable will affect our ability to move and fight.
It is our past that holds back our future. And if we give all the power to our past and our limiting beliefs in a dangerous world we will die or be severely wounded.
This is a metaphor for life in today's world where we shall fail in business and in work and in many other areas of our life.
All because we are allowing our power and our focus to be with our past and with our self-limiting beliefs. We lose confidence when we allow this.
We lose faith in ourselves and our ability. We sit in this negative belief system and we don't take action. We go into a job interview with no confidence.
We are focused on our inability to get this job. We are focused on this will never happen for us because we are not good enough.
We don't start our new business because we are in this state. We really want to but we sit in fear of failure instead.
We want to make that sales call because it can change everything for us. But instead, we just sit there and distract ourselves with all the other things that we have to do.
We don't make the call and we stay stagnant in life or worse. Everything fails and falls down around us because we allow our past and beliefs to control the narrative of our life and our future.
Rather than believing in ourselves. Understanding and appreciating our own power and strengths and abilities. Knowing that we have the solutions that others need.
In the ceremony of these ancient warriors. They acknowledge and say out loud their fears and their beliefs as they stand before the waterfall.
Then they walk into the waterfall and it washes away all these self-limiting thoughts and feelings. They stand there as the powerful water washes over them.
Cleansing their mind and body. Preparing them for battle. Be that physical or metaphorical. When they step out from under the waterfall, they are a different entity.
Their mind is clear from thoughts and feelings. They know what they have to do. They know what the goal is and all their focus is on the task at hand.
All their focus is on doing what they need to do. On achieving their goal. You can do this exercise yourself at any point. You can imagine the waterfall.
You can say out loud your fears and your self-limiting beliefs. I'm not capable, I'm not worthy, I'm not perfect. I have failed in the past.
And then stand in this virtual waterfall. Freezing cold water washing over you. Feel the force of the water as it washes away these thoughts and feelings that don't serve you.
You can feel your thoughts trying to resist but the water is too powerful and they wash away down the river.
You stand there for a moment longer, feeling the cold and the power and then you step out. Your mind is clear. You say out loud what your goal is.
It could be making that sales call. Asking your boss for a raise. Asking your partner to marry you.
It could be doing a bungee jump or walking across a high bridge when you have a fear of heights. It could be stepping on stage to deliver a speech.
With a clear mind, you can operate at your highest level. You can be the best version of yourself in this moment.
You can go directly for what you would love. You are confident and powerful.
