Personal Transformation Day 1: YOU ARE A MIRACLE

Meditation is wonderful vehicle that takes you to the fieldof pure potentiality. It helps you keep your mind and body in aperfect balance and harmony and hence you will be able tobring about the inner resources that you have ever dreamedof possess.

Research has shown that meditation offers many benefits,including regulating your stress and energy levels, improvingyour creative thinking and helping to contribute to professionaland personal success. And remember—the more you meditate,the more likely you are to reap the positive benefits ofmeditation even when you are not actively meditating. Studieshave shown that people who participate in mindful meditationtraining sessions for as little as 4 days have shown positivechanges in their brain function. These changes occur for peoplewith no prior experience in meditation and are related toincreased relaxation, sense of well-being and mental focus.Assignment 1 - Practice meditation-15 Minutes1. Find comfortable place where you will have peaceful,

uninterrupted space to practice. Sit on a chair or sofa inyour comfortable position with your hands open. Keepyour hands on your lap

2. Close your eyes. Take three deep breaths and releasenormally. Then take slow deep breaths and observe yourbreathing. Keep focus how the air travels on its way.

3. Don’t worry about thoughts. Let the thoughts come andgo like clouds. You be life a space. In stillness.

4. Observe your breathing for 5 to 10 minutes

Personal Transformation Day 2:YOUR LIFE - YOUR RESPONSIBILITY

Hi Friend,Welcome to Day 2 of your 7-Day Personal TransformationSeries!Yesterday I asked you to read the Introduction. I also believethat you also should have written down five things you’d liketo change in next 12 months. We will discuss and work on those five things listed in amoment. Here are today’s activities.Assignment 1: Practice Meditation-15 minutesAssignment 2: Reading, Writing and reflection-ONETHING HOLDING YOU BACK – Worksheet 2 & 3 (Find innext pages)1. Go to page below and read it. If you want to print a copy,

please do that for your convenience.2. Using the list of the five things you identified yesterday,

complete the worksheet.Centering thought for the day:I am a miracle and I live in excellence.

www.elaindia.com 9

Worksheet 2: ONE THING HOLDING YOU BACKDAY2 - Assignment 2: Reading, writing and reflectionBefore we go further, I love to ask you one important questionmy friend. And here it is:What would you say is the ONE THING that’s holdingyou back?

Disturbing friends?Unsupportive teachers/ lecturers, colleague?The business environment or government policies?Your parents, spouse?A lack of time, guidance, resources, skills or knowledge?If your answer is the same or similar to any of the above,

I humbly suggest you’ve got it wrong. THE ONE THING HOLDING YOU BACK IS YOU!

I don’t mean to sound harsh or judgmental. It’s true for allof us. Almost 100% of the time, we are our own biggestobstacle-and when you learn how to get out of your own(useless!) way, the path to excellence will be clear. The greatnews is, since you’re the biggest obstacle, YOU have 100%total control over it and you also have the power to changeit. In fact, you are the only one who can. Stop excuses!“Excuses are the creative responses of intelligentpeople, those who don’t use intelligence where it isneeded.”

Excuses are nothing but your own illusions that youanswered to someone. But real life starts when youanswer yourself in truth.

To create the life you want, you are going to have to accept100% responsibility for everything that happens to you.That

www.elaindia.com 10

means giving up all your excuses… all your victim stories…all your blaming conversations… all the reasons why you can’tand why you haven’t up until now… and all your blaming ofouter world (people, situations, things, circumstances or pastexperiences).

It’s not your friends’ fault.It’s not the teacher or lecturer’s fault.It’s not your parents’ or spouse’s fault.It’s not because you don’t have the time or the money tomake it happen. You have to eliminate such thoughts from your mind-forever. Anything that is repeated will be part of your life. Excusesalso, if repeated become part of your life. Someone once saidrepetition is the mother of skill mastery. Imagine what will bethe possible skill you develop, if you repeat excuses instead offocusing on producing results? You just become master ofblame – game. YES. One of the worst games any one canplay is blame-game; it drains you off all your greatest energieswhich will otherwise bring wonderful results.So I invite you to use this information and do the exerciseswith the worksheet 3, “WHO IS HOLDING YOU BACK”. Bythe end of the exercise, you will have learned how to transformyour excuses into solutions. You will move yourself to state ofblame-game to a state of progressive action.This could be the most important step YOU ever take.I cannot overstate the importance of this activity. By learninghow to take 100% responsibility for your life, you give yourselfthe power to change it.

www.elaindia.com 11

The ability to create the ideal life is entirely within your grasp!Tell yourself today’s centering thought:I am a miracle and I take 100% responsibility for mylife.Worksheet 3 - WHO IS HOLDING YOU BACK – WritingpartDAY2 - Assignment 2: Reading, writing and reflection

Personal Transformation Day 3 :NEW CHOICES – NEW LIFE – NEW RESULTS

Hi Friend,Welcome back to 7- Day Personal Transformationseries! I’ve got a great gift to share with you today – but first:How did yesterday’s homework go? If you completed the “WHOIS HOLDING YOU BACK” orksheet, congratulations!

You now have a list of concrete actions you can take tocreate the change you most want to see in your life. If youexperienced any challenges completing this exercise, don’tworry – you’re not alone. It may be extremely difficult to letgo of excuses you have spent a lifetime nurturing.… especially when those excuses involve other people or eventsthat are beyond your control.Do you feel like you’re a victim of circumstance?Maybe you had a tough upbringing, with parents who didn’tteach you the lessons you needed to learn to create a successfullife. Maybe your spouse has been holding you back bydismissing your ambitions or attacking your self-esteem.Ormaybe government cuts or lay-offs resulted in the loss of yourjob, business or career. If you have experienced any of thesesituations in your life, I feel for you. But the time has come tolet them go.It’s time to stop playing “THE BLAME GAME” The only thing you truly have control over in this life is YOU.And the sooner you stop wasting energy on blaming otherpeople or events for your circumstances, the sooner you canreclaim that control and create the life you truly want.

www.elaindia.com 13

Blame can be a hard thing to let go of-but understand howmuch power you’re giving to the people or events you’reblaming. You’re letting THEM prevent you from moving forward.Is that what you want? To help you regain total control overyour life, here are the activities for today:Assignment 1: Practice Meditation-15 minutesAssignment 2: Writing and reflection: New Choices-NewLife-New Resultsa. Create a list of 5-10 blaming behaviors you are going to

eliminate from your life from this point forward. (E.g., “I’mno longer going to blame my parents for my lack of successin life.”)

b. Create a list of NEW behaviors you are going to use toreclaim total power over your own life. (E.g., “Whenever Ifeel resentment towards my parents, I’m going toconsciously practice love and gratitude instead.”)

Centering thought for the day:I have 100% control over my life. I live my best life.This last step is especially powerful… when you use mindfulmoments with your intentions you are far more likely to makethem a reality.

Personal Transformation Day 5:CHANGE RESULT WITH BETTER RESPONSES

Hi Friend,You’re about to learn the ONE thing you need to change in anysituation in order to guarantee a favorable outcome. But first,I was wondering if you’ve done your homework from yesterday.Acknowledging your past successes is a powerful way togenerate the confidence you need to fuel your progress towardfuture success.When you see how much you’ve alreadyaccomplished in your life, you realize that you can achieveanything you set your mind to!All right, let’s move on to today’s activity… You’re about todiscover a simple equation that’s going to have a revolutionaryimpact on your life.Here it is: Situation + Response = ResultWhat it means is, every outcome you experience is the resultof how you responded to an earlier situation/event. Let’s sayyou’ve gained 15 kilograms over-weight in the past year.Maybe that Result came about because you overindulged inunhealthy junk/ street food (Response) as a way to copewith stress at work (Situation).Or maybe you just got passed over for a promotion atwork again (Result) because when a co-worker tookcredit for your hard work (Situation), you didn’t speakup about it (response).Of the three variables in this equation:SITUATION + RESPONSE = RESULT… there is only one that you have control over. Andthat’s your RESPONSE to the situations that happen inyour life.

www.elaindia.com 18

It doesn’t matter what those situations are…A struggling economyYour spouse cheating on youGovernment cutbacksA serious illness… the only way you can generate a more positive outcome isto change your response. Here’s how to make it happen.Assignment 1: Practice meditation – 15 minutesAssignment 2: Writing and reflection: CHANGE RESULTSWITH BETTER RESPONSES1. As you listen, write down one recent outcome you weren’t

happy with and consider how a different response mighthave resulted in a better situation.

2. Think of an upcoming event that you’re worried about andconsider the different responses you can make. Which oneis most likely to lead to the outcome you desire most?

Centering thought for the day:I choose the best responses, I create the great life.

To improve your chances of creating the favorable outcome,please share the upcoming event and your planned responsewith a loved one. When you put it out there in the world,you’re much more likely to receive it!

Personal Transformation Day 6:UNLEASH YOUR LIFE PURPOSE

Hi friend,Today you’re going to unleash your life purpose and visualizeyour goals. But first, did you finish yesterday’s activity? If not,I suggest you schedule time to do that soon. Knowing how tochange your response to situations or events in order to createpositive outcomes is one of the biggest steps you can taketoward success.We only have two days left so let’s make the most ofthem! All right, let’s move on to today’s activity 1:THE POWER OF VISUALIZATIONVisualization is the act of creating vivid and compelling picturesin your mind so you can “see” your success before ithappens. This might sound simple – but it’s one of the mostpowerful and underutilized success tools out there.Visualization accelerates your path to success in 3 key ways:1. It activates the creative powers of your subconscious mind2. It programs your brain to notice available resources that

you may not have noticed before3. It attracts to you the people, resources, and opportunities

you need to reach your goalVisualization trains the brain to achieve more.Successful athletes and business people have known thisfor years.

The team at NASA who put the first man on the moon inthe late 1960s used visualization to reach their history-defining goal two years ahead of schedule!

www.elaindia.com 20

Olympic gymnast Peter Vidmar credits visualization as oneof the main reasons he and his team won the gold medal in1984.Legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar has said that he takesthe time to clearly visualize every match he plays – beforehe actually plays it.

How to use visualization to make your success a realityThe process is simple. All you have to do is close your eyesand see your goals as complete. The more detail you includein your visualization, the greater the chance that it will cometrue – exactly the way you envisioned it.UNLEASH YOUR PURPOSEAre you still trying to figure out “what you want to be whenyou grow up?” If so, you’re not alone…Over the years I’ve met many people who are still searchingfor their life’s true purpose including some successfulbusinesspeople who created lots of wealth but still struggle tofind joy and meaning in their lives!Discovering your life’s purpose is the most important journeyyou’ll ever take – and the most rewarding. Today I’m going tohelp you accelerate your progress on that journey. Thesepowerful visualization and meditation techniques will be keyto helping you manifest your purpose. Now, let us move on totoday’s activity 2:WHAT EXACTLY IS YOUR TRUE PURPOSE IN LIFE?Here’s how I define it:To live your life’s purpose means doing the work for whichyou strongly feel that you are on this earth, what

www.elaindia.com 21

you love to do, what you’re good at, andaccomplishing what’s important to you.When you truly are “on purpose,” the people, resources, andopportunities you need to fulfill your purpose will naturallygravitate toward you. Everything seems to fall into place.But when you’re not living your true purpose, it’s like sailingwithout a compass. You never know quite where you’re goingand the journey can often take you miles from where you trulywant to be.How do you discover your purpose?The good news is, you don’t have to research a bunch ofdifferent career paths or take endless personality tests.You were born with an “inner guidance system” that tells youwhen you’re living your life on purpose-based on the amountof JOY you experience.The more joy you feel, the more you’re in alignment with yourtrue purpose!Share your life purpose with your friends, in a relevant publicforums and your dearest family members. No matter what.Announcing your life’s purpose in a supportive public forum,you imbue your purpose with power. You’ll be amazed at howquickly you attract the people and resources you need to livein alignment with your true purpose. Here’s the processes thatyou can follow to better use of how to put your inner guidancesystem to work for you:

Worksheet 6 – Practice Visualization – Produce theResults You WantDay 6 - Assignment 2All you have to do is set aside a few minutes a day.The best times are when you first wake up, after meditation orprayer, and right before you go to bed. These are the timesyou are most relaxed.Go through the following three steps:STEP1:Imagine sitting in a movie theater, the lights dim, and thenthe movie starts. It is a movie of you doing perfectly whateverit is that you want to do better. See as much detail as you cancreate, including your clothing, the expression on your face,small body movements, the environment and any other peoplethat might be around. Add in any sounds you would be hearing-traffic, music, other people talking, cheering. And finally,recreate in your body any feelings you think you would beexperiencing as you engage in this activity.STEP 2:Get out of your chair, walk up to the screen, open a door in thescreen and enter into the movie. Now experience the wholething again from inside of yourself, looking out through youreyes. This is called an “embodied image” rather than a “distantimage.” It will deepen the impact of the experience. Again,see everything in vivid detail, hear the sounds you would hear,and feel the feelings you would feel.STEP3:Finally, walk back out of the screen that is still showing thepicture of you performing perfectly, return to your seat in thetheater, reach out and grab the screen and shrink it down to

www.elaindia.com 24

the size of a cracker. Then, bring this miniature screen up toyour mouth, chew it up and swallow it. Imagine that each tinypiece- just like a hologram-contains the full picture of youperforming well. Imagine all these little screens traveling downinto your stomach and out through the bloodstream into everycell of your body. Then imagine that every cell of your body islit up with a movie of you performing perfectly. It’s like one ofthose appliance store windows where 50 televisions are alltuned to the same channel. When you have finished this process-it should take less than five minutes-you can open your eyesand go about your business. If you make this part of yourdaily routine, you will be amazed at how much improvementyou will see in your life.Create Goal PicturesAnother powerful technique is to create a photograph or pictureof yourself with your goal, as if it were already completed. Ifone of your goals is to own a new car, take your camera downto your local auto dealer and have a picture taken of yourselfsitting behind the wheel of your dream car. If your goal is tovisit Paris, find a picture or poster of the Eiffel Tower and cutout a picture of yourself and place it into the picture.Use Affirmations to Support Your VisualizationAn affirmation is a statement that evokes not only a picture,but the experience of already having what you want. Here’san example of an affirmation: I am happily vacationing 2months out of the year with my family. Repeating an affirmationseveral times a day keeps you focused on your goal,strengthens your motivation, and programs your subconsciousby sending an order to your crew to do whatever it takes tomake that goal happen. Expect Results Through writing down

www.elaindia.com 25

your goals, using the power of visualization and repeating youraffirmations, you can achieve amazing results. Visualizationand affirmations allow you to change your beliefs, assumptions,and opinions about the most important person in your life —YOU! They allow you to harness the 18 billion brain cells inyour brain and get them all working in a singular and purposefuldirection. Your subconscious will become engaged in a processthat transforms you forever. The process is invisible and doesn’ttake a long time. It just happens over time, as long as you putin the time to visualize and affirm, surround yourself withpositive people, read uplifting books and listen to audioprograms that flood your mind with positive, life-affirmingmessages. Repeat your affirmations every morning and nightfor a month and they will become an automatic part of yourthinking... woven into the very fabric of your being.

Personal Transformation Day 7:DEFINE WHAT YOU WANT

Hi Friend,Welcome to Day 7 of your Transformation Series.Today you’re going to get clear on what you REALLY want fromlife. But first complete your yesterday’s task.Once you unleash your life purpose, you just need to workaround activities around it. You’ll need to do that soon...Because today you’re going to decide what that success willlook like.Get clear about what exactly you want in your life.DEFINE WHAT YOU WANTIn order to achieve any sort of success in life, you have toknow what exactly it is you want to accomplish. It’s not enoughto think, “I want more success in my career,” or “I want tomake a living off my art.” You need to be more specific.Your success goals need to be clearly defined andmeasurable.For example, instead of thinking “more money,” think a specificdollar amount achieved by a certain date.(E.g., Rs15,00,000 in the bank by December 31st of this year.)You’ll find it much easier to reach your goals if you have aclear vision of what they are.Ready to make that happen?Activity 1: Practice MeditationActivity 2: Read, write and reflection: DEFINE WHATYOU WANT

Read the and record your goals using worksheet template

www.elaindia.com 27

Set a time line, specific date by which you will completeyour goals— then create a plan to achieve them

Be sure to read through your list of goals (Iin my terms, yourlife priorities) every day. Use the power of visualization to getyour goals crystal clear in your head and to program in yourmind. This will give you the motivation you need to carry yourgoals forward – and attract inner and outer resources such asbehavior choices, thinking patterns, the people, resources, andopportunities you need to make them a reality.Have fun with this exercise… I can’t tell you how powerful it is.I am sure, you will be amazed with the process. No moreprocrastinating – NOW is your time to live your best.Be the excellence YOU can be.Cebtering thought for the day:I choose the best. I live in excellence.

www.elaindia.com 28

Worksheet 7 - DEFINE WHAT YOU WANTTo accomplish your ideal life, you have to be clear about twothings – where you are and where you want to get to. Thefollowing exercise is designed to help you get that clarity ofyour vision. In order to get deeper answers that will serve youbetter, close your eyes and ask your subconscious mind togive you images of what your ideal life would look like if youcould have it exactly the way you want it, in each of the followingcategories. I have provided sample questions to get youractivity move further.What is your ideal vision of your body and your physicalhealth? Are you free of all disease?How long do you live to? Are you open, relaxed, in an ecstaticstate of bliss all day long? Are you full of vitality? Are youflexible as well as strong? Do you exercise, eat good food, anddrink lots of water?Visualize your financial life. What is your ideal annualincome? What does your cash flow look like? How much moneydo you have in savings and investments? What is your totalnet worth? What does your ideal home look like? Where is itlocated? Does it have a view? Walk through your perfect house,filling in all of the details.At this point, don’t worry about how you’ll get that house.Don’t sabotage yourself by saying, “I can’t live in Malibubecause I don’t make enough money.” Once you give yourmind’s eye the picture, your mind will begin to solve the “notenough money” challenge. Simply be honest with yourself aboutwhat you truly want.

www.elaindia.com 29

Now think about your ideal job or career. How doesyourideal job or career look like? Where are you working? Whatare you doing? With whom are you working? What kind ofclients or ustomers do you have? What is your compensationlike? Do you own the business?Imagine, what is your relationship with your family like?Who are your friends? What is the quality of the relationshipswith your friends?
