Suze Curtis' Dynamic Power Yoga PLUS!

Have you ever noticed how many times in life that you “HOLD ON” to something (‘trying to control’) ~~ only to have it “slip through your fingers”. Kinda’ like squeezing a handful of sand VERY TIGHTLY . . . and . . . inevitably, the tiny grains escape your grasp.

Say you own a business . . . and . . . your constant focus is:

a) Why don’t I have more clients?

b) Why do I have to work so hard to keep this going?

c) Why can’t this be easy?

Your entire focus is on “resisting” ~~ Thinking about (putting pressure on)

a) “not enough” clients

b) “not enough” energy

c) “not enough” time for ‘you’

And . . . when you ask yourself the question “WHY?”, you DO get an answer to SUPPORT your belief (not enough) ~~

In other words ~~ as long as you focus on “why you don’t have enough” . . . you WILL CONTINUE to create circumstances to PROVE “why you don’t have enough” ~~

YOU GET WHAT YOU FOCUS ON (what you resist - what your thoughts “press against - mold”)

At one point in my life, I moved to California and secured a great job ~~ initially making what I thought was a wonderful salary. That is, until I learned the enormous difference in “cost-of-living” expenses compared to the small farming community I had left behind.

As I began to realize the money wasn’t making my expenses month-to-month, I began to focus on “not having enough” . . . and . . . decided to create a BUDGET for myself.

Well - since I was focused on “not having enough”, I (unconsciously) began to create circumstances to SUPPORT the fact that I truly DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH.

Every month, the BUDGET “went-out-the-window”, because unexpected circumstances came up ~~ car problems, rent increase, etc. ~~ Again, as long as I “resisted” (focused on) not having enough, I (unconsciously) created circumstances to make sure I “did NOT have enough”.

One day ~~ I had a “light bulb” moment!! I thought . . . “It’s definitely not working to do this BUDGET thing, so I’m switching direction ~~ I’m focusing on (believing in - putting pressure on - molding) the idea that I’m making LOTS more money.

Within TWO MONTHS, I was working with a new company . . . and . . . had INCREASED my yearly income by $20,000.

From years of practice, my personal focus is that there IS enough:

a) Just like McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy’s, Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, Kentucky Fried Chicken ~~

There are “MORE THAN ENOUGH” patrons to support everyone.

(“Focus on” people filing through your doors ~~ looking for YOUR help)

If you “focus on” Bad Economy & Lay-Offs You will SEE exactly that in your life to SUPPORT your “focus/belief” ~~ (i.e. People don’t have enough money to spend)

What if (instead) you focused on the hundreds & thousands of cars that fill the parking lots of restaurants, bars, shopping malls, movie theatres, coffee houses, ball parks, airports, etc. etc. etc.

b) Just like the numerous “rags-to-riches” stories ~~

There is enough “WEALTH & SUCCESS” for everyone

(“Focus on” a dollar amount that is DOUBLE the amount you are enjoying right now ~~ See it as PROFIT J ~~ Always “positive” ~~ i.e. If you “focus on” $100,000/year ONLY, you could get it . . . and . . . lose it to some unexpected circumstance ~~ The word “profit” is wise use of EXERCISING your focus on EXACTLY what you create)

c) Just like the untold number of love stories ~~

There are enough ‘PERFECT SOULMATES” for everyone

(“Focus on” a reflection of YOU ~~ your EQUAL ~~ NOT someone you can “fix” . . . or . . . someone who “completes” you -- YOU are already complete ~~ “Focus on” someone with whom you can ENHANCE & SHARE your life experience)

d) Just like the many, many, many, many success stories

(including my own) ~~ over-weight & in bad health ~~

There is YOUR ideal shape, health & TRUE happiness

(“Focus on” someone who looks & (appears to) feel EXACTLY the way you ultimately see yourSELF ~~ I (personally) used to “focus on” Rachel McClish)

FOCUS (daydream, meditate, paste-up-pictures) of YOUR perfect life experience ~~

Be True To YourSELVES,

Suze ;-)
