Why BEING GROUNDED is Step 1 for Power & Success

If You’re Grounded, Your Left & Right Brains Are in Alignment For Winning • 1. Get This: everything else depends on it! Human folk are living in the PAST or the Future (in-their-head) about half-their-waking-hours (46.5%) of the time. “Not-grounded” is triggered by Daydreaming, & mind-wandering. • 2. Define: “being grounded”. Living in the “here-and-now, & exclusively in the living-Present. Three-things: you’re aligned, balanced, and centered into ACTIVE consciousness. • 3. We are trained to live our lives in our “head”, which is triggered & controlled by our ever-present EGO. Listen up: our Ego is the voice, beliefs and behaviors of our ten-year-old,
Inner-Child. • 4. He/she never leaves our brain. They are there as your inner-dialogue, self-talk, & the “still-small-voice”, until Kingdom-Come.
• 5. We do have another internal (mental) voice that is more mature. It’s called our ECHT-SELF, (<Ger. Real, Authentic, Genuine), and it’s our Higher-Self. It tries to overcome our selfish-babyish EGO. • 6. The Echt-Self (Higher-self) is your Scholar, who enjoys learning, is curious, and is motivated to excel at your career, and in relationships. • 7. He/she battles your EGO who wants to watch TV endlessly, and live in the status-quo. What’s its AGE? Answer: “29”, and remains there endlessly – for life. Notice when you look in the mirror, and pay attention to your voice, you see the Past “you”,
and hear the same voice all-of-your-life. We ignore AGING signs. • 8. So you got your Inner-Child, your ECHT-(higher) Self, and number three: your Collective-Subconscious. That’s your “instinct”, hardwired-self, & reflexes. We call it, “Grandpa”. It controls all things on auto-pilot, like HABITS. • 9. When we are “grounded”, we inhibit (stop) our EGO from dominating our consciousness. Ego (Inner-Child) makes us crazy by spreading doubt and indecision. It cries, “But, What-If?” • 10. If we fear (Regret) even before we pull-the-trigger, listening to our Self-Talk saying, “Should-Would-Could”, we-be-wrong?”
Not grounded causes Regrets-Blame-And-a Victim consciousness to rule us. Are we all bothered by Mental-Chatter creating Resistance (doubt & indecision)? Answer: all living folks. • 11. So what? To win the benefits of, “being-grounded”, FOCUS your consciousness on your FEET. Wiggle-your-toes, lift-your heels, control your awareness to descend from your head (cognitive-thinking), to your SENSES. • 12. Wiggling your feet is Kinesthetic, sense-of-touch. Grounding uses our senses to stay conscious, on our physical body. We can manage our Emotions, Behaviors, & Beliefs easier & better. • 13. For maybe 1,500 years Yoga has advocated, “Being-Grounded”, and focusing your Attention & Concentration on living in the PRESENT. The great majority worry about the PAST
or speculative negatively about the FUTURE. Bad Robot.
• 14. Three (3) strategies that require under three-minutes.
You know the first one. Choose to focus your consciousnessr
On-your-feet. You can visualize your toesies moving around
in your shoes, or moving up-or-down from the ground.

It works with your eyes CLOSED or OPEN. Try both ways. • 15. Second grounding strategy: Birthday Cake Exhaling:
Purpose: in under 60-seconds, you can RAISE your vibrational-frequency for successful behaviors. • 16. Close your eyes, mentally visualize a birthday cake with 20 candles. Your job is to Blow-out the candles. Do it physically byr
Acting as-is there are imaginary candles. • 17. Take a deep diaphragmatic-breath, and exhaling, really purse your lips and physically blow-out the candle. Use all your blowing (exhaling) strength. Now repeat the Birthday cake blowing-out the candles, one-by-one, Five-Repetitions. • 18. You are activating your Nervous-system for Awareness & Attention. You are getting Grounded in one-three minutes. • 19. You’ve completed your Feet-Focus, and Birthday Cake Candles.

The last is called, Snarling like a Dog. Sounds really DUMB?
Again, it triggers your nervous system to consciousness, and staying GROUNDED. Goal: take control of your “feelings-beliefs-behaviors”, we aint robots. • 20. Snarling is the sound a dog automatically makes when he/she wants to warn you away. It requires Concentration, Awareness, and Attention on your mouth and the resonance you produce. • 21. Close your eyes, create a mental movie (mentally-visualize) ar
Junk-Yard DOG who wants to eat a “strange on its property.
Do a duet with the dog. Take a diaphragmatic-breath, and exhale with all your force – the GROWLING! sound.
• 22. “Grr-rr!” Now take a second deep breath, and exhale the Growl again, a total of Five (5) repetitions (times). It clears your lungs, deeps your consciousness, and sucks Oxygen into your body, and brain.
It activates GLUCOSE (blood-sugar energy), for your brain. • 23. For Double the results in being Grounded, SMILE, while doing all three (3) strategies. Your right-brain accepts your SMILE
as a symbol that you are happy.

It suppresses all resistance to being “grounded”, and puts you in a positive state of mind, and in a good-mood.
Endwords

This three-part strategy takes about three-minutes. If you use it before a TEST, or INTERVIEW, or doing a PRESENTATION, or even before meeting new people. Our graduates inform us they excel in influencing, convincing, and persuading other folks to do it their-way.

Do “Grounding” as a Mind-Experiment, and you judge the results. We suggest, after teaching GROUNDING to thousands of executives & college students, IF IT WORKS, USE IT! – no matter how DUMB it sounds. It is worth the effort.
See ya,
