Success OR Happiness? Which One Would You Choose?

• How about both?
• How about doing what you love, AND loving what you do?
• How about being healthy, while having a growing, loving relationship AND a successful career?

We all want to be successful AND happy.

We bet you have many goals you wish to achieve. Whether these goals are for business, home, family, or personal-growth...

But what if you haven't achieved those goals yet?

Are you a failure?

Of course not... but you might just need a little support in the "mindset department".

To succeed in any area - you need the right energy, the clarity to make better decisions, and the right mix of focus, passion and perseverance.

Without a supporting mindset you may find yourself distracted, confused, worried, in doubt, procrastinating, or lacking passion or balance in your life.

Whatever your definition of success and happiness is, one fact is universal - you have to make sure that your mindset supports and empowers you in accomplishing ALL your goals and dreams.

Change Your Mindset, Change Your Life.

It sounds so easy... but how the heck do you do that?

The beliefs and thoughts you repeat in your mind, define the actions you take and the results you achieve.

Therefore, becoming more aware of your thoughts AND transforming the non-supportive ones is a crucial element in creating a success mindset.

Practicing Mindfulness Has Changed Our Lives…

… in so many ways:

• Both of us used mindfulness practices of observing our thoughts (without judgement) to eliminate limiting beliefs that kept us from being happy and successful (E.g. Nisandeh: “Money is dirty”, Vered: “I am not creative”).
• Nisandeh: I healed a 20-year asthma almost instantaneously when I became aware of the unconscious "benefits" my asthma gave me.
• Vered: I used mindfulness practices to break through my fears and comfort zone and left an unsatisfying job for a more fulfilling path as an entrepreneur.
• Nisandeh: I used a mindfulness exercise to let go of MY ego and MY wishes, and came up with the “right” product for our AUDIENCE (the Business Bootcamp), which generated 19 million euros in revenue.
• We used mindfulness practices to clarify our ideal life vision - which "moved us" to a tiny paradise island, living off-the-grid our ideal life.
• Vered: I've lost 20 kg of overweight by implementing a simple mindfulness eating practice during meals.
• And most importantly, we developed a deeper sense of self-awareness which created more depth, happiness, togetherness and fulfillment in our daily life.

This list may seem too good to be true, but looking back on our lives, all of these events only happened once we fully committed to be more mindful in every moment.

Most moments we forget. 

But when we remember and we open ourselves up to what IS, right here in this moment... we experience a deep sense of belonging and fulfillment that can make even the most mundane moments... magical.

Is Mindfulness for You?

That depends.

Mindfulness is a pretty simple concept. It is about your mind paying full attention to what’s happening, to what you’re doing, to the space you’re moving through.

That might seem easy, except for the annoying fact that your mind almost never in that space. As the mind wanders, you lose touch with your body, and pretty soon you are caught up in obsessive thoughts about something that just happened or worrying about the future.

However... no matter how far your mind drifts away, mindfulness is right there to get you back to where you are right now and what you’re doing and feeling. 

If you want to know what mindfulness is, it is best to practice it for a while.
Mindfulness practices are short, simple, down-to-earth, and easily done in any environment at any time (yes... even while driving, eating, washing dishes or making love).

Chances are that you're gonna love it.
And you're going to love the results in your life...

Five Mindfulness Habits That Will Make You More Successful

Habit 1: Breathe for One Minute

If you sometimes move too fast and feel out of control - develop a daily habit of taking a one-minute mindfulness break every hour - or whenever it becomes difficult to focus.

For this mindfulness practice, set a timer for one minute, close your eyes, and focus your attention on the flow of your breath in and out.

If your mind wanders, acknowledge it without judgement and return your attention to your breath.

Habit 2: This Person Could Die Tonight

This may sound a bit morbid, but this mindfulness practice is a powerful way to bring yourself into the moment and really engage with the person you are with.

Imagine never being able to talk with them again.

• Would you listen more intently? 
• Would you speak more lovingly?
• Would you take the time to fully be with them?

Habit 3: Fire Your Inner Critic

When you pay attention, you will notice that some of your most negative thoughts and beliefs come from self criticism.

Thoughts like “I’m not good enough”, “I’m not worthy of…”, “I’m too old”, “I’m too young”, “I’m not good at…” stop you from feeling confident and worthy of achieving your dreams.

When you practice mindfulness - you can simply witness those thoughts without attachment (imagine you are a loving friend, spiritual teacher, or wise mentor), and release them by mindfully answering these questions:

• What is the story I am telling myself about who I am (e.g. “I am not good enough”)?
• Is this story telling the absolute truth?
• What positive beliefs could I use to replace this limiting belief?

Habit 4: Focus on Words of Positivity

Now that you have witnessed your self-limiting beliefs, it’s time to replace them with positive beliefs to boost your success mindset.

Positive affirmations is the most effective way of doing this. This mindfulness practice focuses your attention on words of positivity that counteract whatever negative thoughts you have held in your mind for so long.

To practice positive affirmations for success, take your time to consider what your highest self wants you to know or manifest. Write these wishes as clear, powerful sentences… and then… twice a day... close your eyes and silently repeat these affirmations to yourself over and over again.

Examples of affirmations that can help you create a mindset of success include:

• I am the creator of my life
• I have all that I need to succeed
• I see opportunities in every challenge

Habit 5: Count Your Blessings

Another way that mindfulness can help boost your success mindset is through gratitude practice. When you appreciate what you have, you start believing in your ability to succeed and seeing challenges as opportunities.

The key to developing daily appreciation and gratefulness is to focus on being aware of the little things in life.

Try saying out loud right now one thing that you are grateful for. Your clothes. Your beating heart. Your phone. Anything that you would miss if you no longer had it.

To Wrap It Up

As you install new habits of mindfulness, you become more aware of all the unconscious self limitations you have against success.

Mindfulness practices empower you to gently and compassionately break through these limitations. And, as you set your goals from a space of mindfulness (coming up in the next blog post), these mindfulness practices will take you further and further towards your ideal life.
