Would you like to be the person who gets what they want, enjoys life, has time to spare and is completely fulfilled? Most of us would love to have that kind of life - but are you committed and dedicated to making it happen? If not, then nothing will ever get better.
There are many people that don't completely accept the idea that when you truly believe something and have faith that it will happen, then it really will happen. Then there are those who say they practice it, but really don't truly practice it, they just think they do.
However, there are living examples of people who truly practice believing and have tremendous success with this concept. All we have to do is believe in the power of believing, and keep believing.
But before you can establish your power of believing, so that you achieve your goals, you need to have a number of elements in place before this power of believing can help you achieve your goals. To utilise the power of believing, you need to create a new belief system so that you eliminate the negative thought processes that have been holding you back for so long.
What you believe is what you get
Before I get into how to utilise the power of believing I think it's important to give you a little background and I thought it would be more helpful to look at some concrete information that proves what you believe is what you get.
Read about the power of thoughts.
Recent studies show that a person who believes they are truly sick and that they are going to die will not fare as well as someone who believes they can recover and will survive. And those who believe they will get better usually go on to live a healthy lifestyle.
You need to change your brain, to change your life. Today in New York City, doctors at the Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center are teaching cancer patients the power of positive thinking, and how their beliefs will impact their chances of survival.
Since the turn of the 21st century, researchers have begun taking a closer look at the impact the state of a person's mind has on their health and life. Those that have completed their studies have found that what we think and the state of our mind have a direct impact on our life, reality and health.
There is nothing more complex than the human brain. We have more connections in our brain than stars in the universe. It is the most expensive real estate in our body. Revelations based on studying 63,000 brain images across 90 countries over 20 years at the Amen Clinics in the USA has shown how brain imaging can change paradigms and our understanding of healthy life, no matter where we live.
Did you know your brain is involved in everything you do? How you think, how you feel, how you act, how you get along with other people? Our brain is the organ of judgement, personality, character and innovation. When your brain works right, you work right. You're healthier, happier, wealthier, wiser, more creative, more innovative. When you brain is troubled, you are much more likely to have trouble in your life.
Our job is to balance brain activity to keep it at healthy levels. Even though the brain only makes up 2% of our body weight, it takes up to a third of the nutrients we put into our body, so one step is to ensure we eat and sleep right for a healthy brain. Another is to change the way we think - for example questioning automatic negative thoughts with positive connections. Negative thoughts that come into your mind automatically to ruin our day are the seeds of anxiety disorders and depression.
For example: a person who is constantly stressed, eats a poor diet, is surrounded by a toxic environment, spends little or no time meditating, has a negative or bleak outlook on life is more prone to sickness, will have an unhealthy lifestyle and is more likely to be in an unstable relationship. Our behaviour helps accelerate the ageing process.
A person who takes time to meditate, has a positive outlook and believes he or she can and will cope is more likely to be in better health, look younger and will have more positive fulfilling relationships. And the good news is, if you make the decision today, you can improve your brain within two months.
Consequently, to sum up, what we believe impact our lives, because what we believe is what we get.
I know some may not accept that, but here's what happens when you believe something: If you believe that relationships are difficult and require a lot of work, then you'll only attract people who will make the relationship difficult or force you to put a lot of work into it.
More importantly, if you worry about something, you basically believe the worst and you'll likely get the worst.
That doesn't happen all of the time and there is a reason for it not happening all of the time. Even though you worry, a small part of you is hopeful that you'll have a positive outcome and thus a complete disaster is often avoided. However, if you were to only worry and think of the worst at all times, never being hopeful, then you could be setting up yourself for a massive disaster.
But there is more to believing than just creating beliefs. Having positive beliefs is the first step toward creating a positive and successful life. Believing is something completely different.
Here's an example: You may have positive beliefs about money; you may have a belief that there are plenty of ways to make money. But if you don't believe that you will make money, you won't make the amount that you are hoping for.
A belief is the way you feel about something; it's deeply rooted and if I asked you a question about it you'd have an answer.
Believing something is trusting that what you want can and will happen. There is not a single doubt that it will happen. You completely trust and know that it will happen.
Many people I speak to are missing this element in their daily lives. They'll do all of the other work that is necessary to achieve their goals, but they can't get this element of believing into their system.
So, how do we begin believing so that we can create the life we want? How do you learn to believe in yourself and achieve your goals? You need to learn how to create a new belief system, so you can practice believing to always enjoy success and constantly create a more positive, healthy life.
How to change your beliefs
In many ways we've been raised to not believe. If you can't see it, it's not real, that's what we're taught. But believing is vital to our survival and success. If we could only believe that everything would work out and trust that what you want can and will happen, you'd have remarkable results. Your life would change in ways you never thought possible.

However, we just can't believe that things will workout for us. We look at past results and judge our future on those results.
Let me ask you a few simple questions:
- Do you believe, without a doubt, that you can and will have everything that you want in life?
- Do you believe without a doubt that you will be guided to the right situation at the right time - no matter what you will get to where you want to be in life?
- Do you believe, without a doubt, that there is always a way to achieve your goals - you just have to find it?
If you answered no or maybe to any of the above questions, then you don't believe, and therefore won't be able to accomplish your goals and live the life you want.
Believing requires a complete trust that everything will work out. That you will do your part in finding solutions while trusting and knowing that you can and will get what you want out of life.
Here's an example of believing that most of us can relate to on some level. If you have a child or if a friend or a relative has a newborn child, then think about that child for a moment. Think about the earliest time that you saw that child.
Remember when it couldn't even feed itself or make a sound. It had no motor coordination and didn't really recognize things very well. Now assuming this was a healthy child when it was at that stage, did you or its parent ever doubt that it would learn to walk?
The answer is no. Everybody was convinced; everybody believed that the child would learn to walk.
That's the kind of belief I'm talking about that's needed to achieve your goals. You have to believe that things will work out. Just trust in yourself, your inner powers and the powers that be that everything will work out.
My 90 day mind healing programme teaches you how to develop this practice of believing first by showing you how to work with your mind and subconscious mind. With your own tailor made affirmations you'll learn to take small steps and see some small improvements - this leads to practising the art of believing.
Commit yourself to change
Recently I had a chance to catch up with some people I hadn't seen in a really long time. Many of them had achieved what they set out to do when we were teenagers. But there were a few who were still struggling. They were trying to figure things out, but couldn't understand why things hadn't improved for them. I explained to them that things don't get better, you have to make them better. Nothing changes for you overnight except the passage of time, which has it's own side effects.
Creating change in your life is not just about hoping and praying, it's about acting and being committed. So read on and you'll learn some valuable tips on how to create changes in your life and start living the life you want.
If you want to improve your life, if you want to achieve your goals you first need to make a solid commitment to change or improve things.
Don't take this lightly, because your commitment is the foundation for change and a better life. Too often I hear people say: "Oh yeah, I'm going to make a commitment. I definitely want to change. In fact, as of tomorrow I'm going to make a list and get started."
Then tomorrow comes and nothing changes. Instead, they get distracted and forget about the so-called commitment they made.
A week later here's what they'll say: "You know I meant to get started last week but I just got too busy. Something came up, I can't remember what, but this week I'm definitely going to get started."
The week comes and goes and nothing changes. There were too many things that come up. Hey, everyday there are things that come up and if you don't stay focused those "things" will throw you off track, and in the end nothing gets done. Nothing improves because you were too busy being distracted. Nothing changes because you didn't stick to your commitment to change.
A commitment to improve your life means you are going to do everything you can to make sure things get better. It says that you are going to take action and start by focusing on what you need to do to create the changes you want. If you don't stick to that commitment you'll only get distracted. If you keep that commitment at the forefront of your mind, then when you sense something coming that could distract you, you'll take charge and make the time to create the change you want.
If you're in debt and you want to get out of it, then make a commitment, and start by not taking on any more debt. If you want to be in a relationship, then start by making it a priority to go out and meet people. If you want to get a job, then start going out and doing everything you can to get a job and keep going until you get things done.
Making that commitment sends the message to your subconscious mind, it tells the subconscious that now I'm ready to change and improve my life so let's get working.
When you use my 90 day mind healing programme you are actually making a commitment to yourself, a promise to make time for yourself and achieve your goals. By listening to your own affirmations daily, you'll focus on what you want and direct your mind to instruct your subconscious to create the life you want.
Decide what kind of change you really want
Next take a look at where you are and where you want to go. I often hear from people who want to be millionaires but don't have a job, there's nothing wrong with that. But in many cases these people want to be millionaires within 3 months or 6 months. Sure it's possible. And when I ask them to think of how they can achieve this goal, here's the most common answer: "I'll win the lottery." Yes, this too is possible.
But is it likely? What are you going up against? What can you do to make this a reality besides buy lottery tickets? The answer isn't in buying more lottery tickets.
The answer to being a millionaire and making millions of hard cash is inside you. You have the answer - you just have to uncover it.
We all have the ability to have what we want, need and more, if we allow ourselves to work at our full potential. When you work at your full potential - your mind, spirit and body are all working together to make the outcome happen.
Your subconscious also gets going, because it needs to keep up with the rest of you and it in turn your subconscious starts creating new opportunities for you. By going at your full potential you say to your higher power, your subconscious mind and the universe - hey, I'm ready to do my part!
But when you say: "I'll just buy more lottery tickets", you're really saying: "I'm too lazy to bother working." Why then should your higher power help you?
You have to give yourself a realistic chance. Look at it this way: you're about to run a marathon, but you've never trained to run in a marathon, and you've never trained to run more than a hundred yards. Now suddenly you want to run 20 or so miles, and you expect to win, but you've never trained. Is it likely? It is possible, but is it likely? Wouldn't you be better off training, getting in shape, then start by gradually building up the miles you run a day, until you got to the point where you were running 20 or so miles, before you entered the race?
If you want to be successful, you have to prepare and take things one step at a time while setting realistic goals that you can build on. If you want to be a millionaire and you currently don't have a job, start by getting a job or starting a business. or if you have a job and you want to be a millionaire, how about increasing your yearly income first? Then increase that, and continue increasing it until you get to a million.
If you want to get out of debt, then start by paying off a small amount of the debt, then increase the amount you pay off.
If you want to meet the right person, start by going out, then
getting to know people until you meet the person you think is right for you.
When you keep your goals realistic and take things one-step at a time, two things happen. First you start building your confidence, which is crucial to your success.
Second you start sending the message to your subconscious mind. You start telling your subconscious that you can do this, you say you are improving and you are ready for change and that you are giving your subconscious the time that it needs to help you get to where you want to go.
What you are doing is creating a success consciousness that is sent directly to your subconscious. It now starts to pick up your success belief system - and thus greater change takes place sooner.
So, when tailoring your affirmations to use with my 90 day mind healing programme remember to set realistic goals. I find that using gradual milestones, or small baby goals to get your subconscious working for you is more beneficial in the long run. Then you can slowly build on that success energy so that you continually accomplish your goals. When you do this to begin with, things begin to become easier, and pretty soon you'll find that you'll be achieving more with less effort, in half the time! But first you have to train your mind to work with your subconscious mind.
Get your mind to work for you
This last step is the most important because if you don't keep your mind focused on what you want to achieve, you'll never get anything done.
The mind will try to convince you to give up. It will tell you that there's no need to change, that things are fine just the way they are, or that you'll get to it tomorrow, next week or next year.
Your mind will tell you that you don't have time right now to do the things you need to do in order to create the change you want. It will tell you that it's no use things will never get better.
When the mind does this it's simply deceiving you - it's simply trying to get you to stop and avoid change. The mind does this, because it doesn't want change.
It wants things to stay the way they are, because of it's negative programming. But you want change, except your mind is not letting you change. If you don't stay focused you'll give in to the mind, and nothing ever gets better.
When you work to heal your mind with my programme, in 90 days you'll take control of your mind and direct it so that you achieve your goals. You essentially learn how to think and create the life you want. Your affirmations are your instruction book for the mind - with the help of my programme you'll control your mind and send the right messages to your subconscious mind so that you create the life you want.
Take a look at what you want to achieve in life. Think about those goals and then start paying attention to the thoughts you have as you think about achieving those goals.
Now ask yourself - what steps are you taking to create changes in your life? Come up with a realistic plan, and then start taking steps. See how your mind responds to this, because what you uncover could determine your chances for success.
To help you avoid problems, write down your negative thought patterns and negative beliefs, and see what you come up with. When you analyse your limiting, negative beliefs, you'll realise that to achieve success today, you need to release the past, or free your belief system from it so that you can view yourself and your past in a new light.
This is crucial to your success, because once you release the past (or change your perception of it) you open the floodgates for new and exciting opportunities. The negativity of the past will no longer have a limiting hold on you. Releasing the past takes a little work, but it will be well worth the rewards.
Releasing the past
Are you one of those people who sometimes gets trapped in the past? Do you catch yourself thinking about things over and over? Usually these are events that happened a long time ago, but you just can't stop thinking about them?
Do you often try to solve events that took place years ago - hoping or wishing they could be different? Do you sometimes spend hours or lengthy periods of time trying to understand why something happened, but just can't find an answer? Or do you find that you're just not ready to move on with life, because of something that happened some time ago? You keep telling yourself you just can't get over it, you need just a little more time, but this continues to play in your mind?
If you answered yes to any of the above, you're not alone. There are millions of people around the world just like you - people who just can't seem to let go of the past, and in the process continue to waste their lives away.
Well, in today's post I'm going to show you how you can release the past and start living the life you want, and it's really not as hard as you might imagine.
Over the past few months I've fielded hundreds of emails from people trying to let go of the past. It seems that we continually think about what was and the way things were. We also feel compelled to try and figure out what went wrong, or how we can resolve things.
The most common statement is: "If only I could go back and fix things." Well you can't, and you shouldn't want to. Because when you focus on nothing but the past, you deny yourself the future.
Read on and I'll explain how you can let go of the past, and start living the life you want.
By focusing on what you want in life, by focusing on what's important right now with my mind healing programme, you can release the past. Choosing to go back in time is not an option, the only option you have is to go forward - one step at a time.
How to let go of the past
In order to begin moving on and letting go of the past you first have to take responsibility for what happened. I'm not asking you to accept the blame. I'm just asking you to accept that (after a certain age in your life) you had a role in what happened to you and that what happened did in fact happen.
For example, if you seem stuck over a breakup with a boyfriend or girlfriend, accept that the relationship did come to an end, and that you did have a role in how it went and how it ended. Let's face it, if you weren't there it would have never happened.
Don't try to figure out what you did wrong in the past, instead focus on what you could do right the next time. Learn from your past, it's a great teacher.
Look at the mistakes that were and focus on what you can do to improve it the next time around. If you lost a job, don't say that you did nothing wrong. Don't blame everybody else and say, "They did this to me." They didn't do anything to you. They may have done something that had an impact on you, but you also played a role on some level.
Focus on what you can do the next time to keep a job and make a great impression.
Right about now I get this question: "Yeah, Mickie, but they just called me in one day and told me that I was going to be laid off - they were cutting back. What role did I play? How did I make that happen?"
You chose to stay at that job. You chose to get comfortable and not look for another job. You chose not to improve your skills and strive to do better. These are acts that you have to take responsibility for. Please understand, I'm not saying accept blame. This is about blame, or fault (or shifting blame), it's about remembering that you are the navigator of your life.
Now the next time you get a good job you could strive to be better. You won't get comfortable. You won't ignore an opportunity to improve your skills. These are some of the lessons that come from that experience. Or may be losing your job will open a great new opportunity for an even better job.
Every past event, pleasant or not, teaches us something which if we understand can better prepare us for the future. Don't focus on what went wrong, focus on what you can do right the next time. The best way to do this is to think about what you want next and then apply what you learned.
With your positive affirmations and my mind healing healing programme, focus on what you want by visualising the life you want, and not the life you once had.
Create your future today
Let's face it, the past is in the past. It's not what is happening now. It doesn't exist today except in your mind. That relationship that ended, that job that was lost - it's all in the past. The past does not exist today. You exist today, and your present life exists today. These are the things you need to focus on.
In order to leave the past in the past, start shifting your focus to the things that need attention today.
If you lost a job and don't have work, focus on finding a new job. Remember the lessons learned from the past experience, and get out there and start looking for the next thing.
Take care of what needs to be done today. If you're in debt because you lost some money in the past, then focus on what needs to be done now, for example, to make some additional money so you can get out of debt.
If a relationship ended, then what do you want now? If the answer to that is another relationship, then get out there and start meeting new people.
I'm not trying to be harsh, I just want to show you that once you shift your focus to the present moment, your mind will automatically let go of the past.
There will be times that your mind will drift back into the past, that's what it knows so that's where it goes. When this happens you can simply say to yourself, that's in the past - I'm here now and I'm focusing on my new life now.
You won't stop thinking about the past right away, but as you continually do this, your mind will begin to adjust.
When you do it in conjunction with some of the things that I just outlined, you'll start to move forward and actually enjoy life again.
I often have people that email me to say: "Mickie, I just can't seem to let go of the past. I keep thinking about it and just can't stop." You only think about it, because you choose not to think about something else. You only think about it, because your mind is used to thinking about it and wants to stick to what it knows. Teach your mind something new and it will move forward.
Leave your mind where it is and it will cling to what it knows. So give your mind something else to focus on, like the present moment, and visualise the future and you'll see yourself moving forward.
The mind takes you in the past, tortures you, frightens you, and depresses you, because that's what it knows, and that's what it identifies with - the mind is comfortable in that zone.
The mind doesn't want to stay in the present moment, because it is not aware of the present.
Only you can make it aware of the present, by focusing on what is important now.
Do this when you wake up in the morning, focus on what has to be done that day. Using my mind healing programme as a way to start the day will help you get your mind to move forward.
With my mind healing programme, within the first week you'll start to move forward and focus on what is important, because daily repeated positive affirmations will get you to think about what you want now, and what you want next.
Bounce back with affirmations.
It gets your mind to move in a different direction, away from the past, into the present and preparing for the future. If you're stuck in the past, I encourage you to use my mind healing programme and begin living the life you want and deserve.
Some final steps
Another thing you can do is change the way you see past events. Find a positive spin rather than focusing on the negative. You may say but that's just the way it is, am I not lying to myself if I try to see it differently? How do you know you're not lying to yourself by seeing things the way you do right now?
Your current perception may be to view the events of the past in a negative light, but how do you know that is real? It's just the way you see it. The meaning you attach to things gives them the weight that drags you down.
Change the way you see things, change your perception and a new reality unfolds. Look at the positive side of things: everything has happened to put you where you are now. You are exactly where you need to be, and you got here because of past events.
Now begin focusing on this moment, focus on what you want, and you'll take the next step - to be exactly where you need to be in the future.
Learn from the past, then release it, by focusing on the present, and see the past as a friend - pushing you forward to where you need to go.
Begin letting go of the past and create the future you want and dream of, by working with my mind healing programme.
Remember to take a look at what you want to achieve in life. As I said before, think about those goals and then start paying attention to the thoughts you have as you think about achieving those goals. And once you've written down your negative thought patterns, negative beliefs and seen what you've come up with, ask yourself - what steps are you taking to create changes in your life?
Don't forget to come up with a realistic plan, and then start taking steps - see how your mind responds to this. If you find yourself focusing on the past, then see if you can get your mind to move forward by focusing on what is important today. What you uncover could determine your chances for success.
So, are you ready to begin living the life you always wanted? Ready to enjoy success, happiness and more? Ready to be more confident? Then use my mind healing programme and begin achieving all your goals.
Keep moving towards your goals and keep believing in yourself - only you can create the life you want. Keep in mind, if you don't change your thoughts and beliefs, everything stays the same. Heal your mind from past limiting beliefs to take back control of your life.
Start living your life to your full potential today.
Yours in love,

I want to share something personal with you. When I set out on my own at age 17, I made so many of mistakes it just wasn't funny. At the time, I often saw these mistakes as utter failures on my part. In fact, there were times when I thought I must be a failure.
