The past few years I have used Mark Vestegens book Core Performance. Really got me into using the stability ball.

This is one of my favorite books. It is the basis for all material/financial success that I have right now. Your right that the stories can be tedious. In my second copy,(i own 3 of these books!) I even crossed out all the stories. Just wanted to keep the interesting concepts. This was my first self help book I remember reading this on the bus going to my dead end job, 15 years ago. So this book really inspired me to really examine my life and make changes for the better.

This is ultimately the best answer.

What is the biggest challenge that you face? For myself I simply look at the issue that I want to work with. So first it was $, so I read Napoleon Hill and rich dad poor dad. Then procrastination was an issue that I didnt like about my self so studied the war of art.

The problem I have with the terms higher and lower is that, as I see through the maya I have found that I become judgemental. My apologies if I have misunderstood your post, but as I read through, your words gave me the impression that you felt higher and "better" because you can see through more of the illusion than your loved ones. I know that I am guilty of this, and after some meditation on this I feel that even this "work" that we are all engaged in is just as illusory as my families beliefs and attitudes. This is why I personaly find the subjective terms higher and lower dangerous for myself. You cant change others only yourself. So could it be your attitude that can shift?

Thank you for this post

What makes some thoughts "higher" and some "lower?" Arent they all just thoughts coming from a mind?

I want to lose some weight, shave my head and make inspiring clips on youtube ☺

Funny, because I actually do the opposite. I have given a name to the assertive side and try to follow that.

My friend. Coming from a person who made the business choice over the music choice many, many years ago, I would say choose the music. Most of the people I know who chose music are much more content than those that chose the "rational" choice. Sone are even rich and famous. But know that the life of a musician can be incredibly hard, you must truly love the music.

I found my lack of assertiveness came from my lack of self esteem, there was always a voice at the back of my head that was saying "shut the fuck up." I mean literaly, during conversations I would actualy have a point, but hear this negative mantra and not say anything. I cant remember where I heard this from, but I have been using two phrases to counter this: No, and I will Using these two has really helped me in becoming more assertive.

Wouldnt it depend on what you are working on? Those who are on a deep spiritual journey to eliminate ego and find enlightenment would have littke use for these techniques. But for those of us who are just trying to create a better version of ourselves they can be effective tools.

My morning workout is really doing basic warm ups, lunges, push ups stretches etc. Sort of meditative, but nothing like yoga or tai chi. Tommorow morning I will switch my routine around and meditate after my exercise Now you sound like a man who enjoys physical challenges, I have found that brazilian jiu jitsu is the most intense exercise at bringing these emotions out of me. When another man is using all his will, strength and technique to try to strangle you, then you truly are in the present moment.

To be honest I am only begining my journey, so any advice I give is from my personal and limited experience. In my phone I simply set my alarm clock every hour. When the alarm goes off I will simply say "Praise the Lord I,am still alive." Then run my hands over my face If I am by myself or with family members then it is out loud, if I am outside then I say it to myself. Of course you can change the,words and actions, the point is to remind yourself how amazing it is that you are alive right now. As for your second point. Of course you get demotivated that is the point. Only do what it is that truly fulfils YOU. What is it that you do that makes you happy. Everything else is bs. That is the point of this exercise.

To be honest I am not in anyway qualified to be giving advice, especially, when Aylas is so much more "real" Having said that this has helped me out tremendously!

Perhaps I should have made myself more clear. My pa was/is similar to Kazman in that it has become so ingrained that I often dont even notice it when it appears. By getting in touch with my aggressive emotion and really pushing the feeling out, I am able to really experience it. Really feel and understand the intensity of anger. Now, as I am more aware of the emotion I am able to be more mindful, which has allowed me to really eliminate my pa behaivor. Instead of acting pa ly I can and have calmly explained and talked through the situation.

I have exactly the same problem. As a result I can often become passive aggresive, not a good trait to have. After almost 20 years of sobriety I sat in my bathroom and drank 1/4 l of vodka, then ran through all the scenerios that I intellectually knew should make me angry. Then drunk and with my inhibitions down I forced the anger out. I definetly am more aware of anger, and I think 1 more "session" (the bottle is almost gone.) I should be able to move away from the alcohol.

What do you mean when you say "heart?" So by heart are we refering to emotions? I am sorry if I sound ignorant I just want to be clear
