Do you feel that you have reached a plateau in certain areas of your life? Or have you been working at producing a result in your life that continues to elude you?

Personal power is very important to discuss when it comes to creating any result in life. Whether that result is extraordinary health, an amazing primary relationship, or a business that makes a difference for the world. Or what about making money, while making a difference? AND NOT HAVE IT TAKE FOREVER!

What is personal power you may ask? Personal Power is defined as that force within yourself that has you move toward fulfilling on your dreams and goals. Often what is missing in accomplishing your goals and dreams WITH VELOCITY is getting that YOU always have 100% of your personal power. The delay comes from us spending most of our time misdirecting our personal power. So that make begs the question, how do you properly direct you personal power to produce optimal results in the areas of life that are important?

To answer that, we look at the causes of misdirected personal power. These causes are called "Inappropriate Automatic Reactions" to circumstances. Some examples of “inappropriate automatic reactions” to circumstances are:

• uncontrolled outbursts both physical or verbal
• uncontrolled withdrawal
• being confused

How these delay our results is our inability to interrupt these reactions. People get stuck in these reactions for days, months or even years. Answer these questions to see if you may currently be trapped in prolonged "Inappropriate Automatic Reactions":

• Have you been disconnected with or held a grudge toward someone you care about for a long time?
• Have you been working on losing weight and getting in shape for a long time with no apparent result?
• Have you had an inability to grow your income?

Being trapped in this place makes it very difficult to think or create beyond the current circumstance, therefore hindering you from moving towards your Future Vision: that is, the unprecedented result you achieve in your future, that you LOVE.

"Okay, great. So, now what?!"

At Future Visions Fulfilled, LLC., in our seminars we use what is called "Guided Relaxation for New Awareness" as an excellerated learning and change strategy. Developed by me and my husband, Dr. Bob Levine, we use this to help people remove the roadblocks that are keeping them from rapidly fulfilling on their dreams & desires.

But seeing is believing.

To experience this first hand, we invite you to attend one of our weekly Tele-Seminars. Here we explain how people mis-direct their personal power through “inappropriate automatic reactivity”, and we give you the opportunity to interrupt your own automatic reactivity right on the phone call. To join us this week, go to our website at www.futurevisionsfulfilled.com, and click on "Free Tele-Seminars" to select a time that works for you.

Unasked Questions

This blog space has had an appropriate moment of silence.

As I write this, I am flying to Baltimore, Maryland accompanying my mother who is burying her 44 year old son. My brother, Roy Brock Griffin died unexpectedly of a heart attack on the early morning of his birthday, March 18, 2010. Having had a quintuple bypass surgery at the age of 38, Roy had to manage his health in a way that supported the his heart.

As I grieve the loss of my brother, I wonder if he really managed his health as he should have. But did I ask? I had a final chance last summer to see him, and we hung out at the restaurant where he was a manager: Carlos O’Charlie’s. We had lunch, but I didn’t pay attention to what he ate. Now, I have no regrets, but this does have me pose the question: are WE supporting those around us in having healthy lifestyles?

We’re supporting them, one way or another: either we are giving them permission to eat unhealthy by eating the same thing, or we say nothing, in the name of not being intrusive, or not wanting to be a bother. Or most of the time, we don’t want to be held accountable ourselves. As I work with more of my community in getting on track with their wellbeing, they share with me their family history.

Stroke.

Cancer.

Diabetes.

Heart Disease.

Most everyone has one if not multiple members of their family that has been touched by one or two of these lifestyle diseases. Yet at dinner, no one says “Uncle Joe, how about a smaller plate. We want you around longer!” or “No McDonald’s today son. Daddy’s cholesterol is normal, and I want to keep it there!” These unspoken decisions are not being made, and after the fact is too late to be asking the question.

I personally have been touched by all of the above listed lifestyle deaths. And what I am proud to say is that for most of them, changes in diet and lifestyle were made.

That last one, though…. I wish I had asked more questions.
