Last week, I introduced the topic of Integration.
Today, I want to start discussing some methods for beginning to integrate the Power of Mortality™ into your life.
Obviously, in order to start taking advantage of The Power of Mortality™, one of the first things you need to do is ensure that you are very clear about the life you would like to be living. In the past, I’ve provided some suggestions for getting started on the voyage of self-discovery. I even have an entire section devoted to this in “The Mortality Manual - A Workbook for Tapping Into The Power of Mortality“. Today I want to suggest another approach.
I want you to to look to the negative in order to discover the positive. I want you to think about all of the negative thoughts and feelings that you have about your life. Think about your work-life, your family-life, your financial-life, your relationships, your health, your social-life, your leisure time and so on. Now notice any negative thoughts or feelings that may arise.
Now - this part is very important! You are NOT to dwell on these negative emotions. You are only noticing them in order to bring your attention to areas of your life that you would like to change. In fact, when you get right down to it - that is the purpose for negative feelings and emotions: to highlight what we don’t want so that we can begin to create the circumstances that will bring us the feelings and emotions that we do want.
This week I want you to be on the lookout for negativity in your life. When you encounter it do your best to avoid getting sucked into the judgments and drama and instead simply notice negativity and think about what you would like to be experiencing instead.
ENJOY NOW!

Why does Western society have such a problem with obesity?
It’s certainly not for a lack of information. There are government food guidelines for healthy eating. There are millions of books on the subject of nutrition. There are countless people who make their living as nutritionists, ready and willing to help us understand the impact of what we put in our mouths. And then there are all of the diet programs that promise results.
It’s certainly not for a lack of possible fitness activities. There are gyms and fitness studios galore - each of them with personal trainers for hire and all promising to deliver “a new you”. And then there are the “freelance” personal trainers who will come right to your home to help you exercise. We have an entire industry built around exercise and fitness equipment. From high-tech running shoes to exercise bikes and full-size weight-lifting machines for your house.
The issue is that information and activity options, in and of themselves, are useless if they are not integrated into our lifestyle.
Integration is the key to success!
The same can be said of the epidemic of consumer debt in Western society. The problem is not a lack of information or “plans” to help you save more, spend less and invest wisely. The financial “experts” are everywhere and are quite happy to help you tackle your debt situation. The problem is integrating this new lifestyle into your daily activities.
Whether it is a new retirement savings plan, a new way of eating or a new fitness regimen, you will only be successful if these new practices become ingrained into your day-to-day life and become an integral part of who you are.
The same is true about the Power of Mortality™. You can read my book, you can listen to the podcast, and you can subscribe to these Mindful Moments - but the true power of living a life that is Fearless, Focused and Free From Regrets will only be yours if you integrate the Power of Mortality™ into your life.
In the coming weeks I’ll be discussing how to integrate the Power of Mortality™ into your life.
ENJOY NOW!
