Personal Power Day 6: Driving Force - Your Six Human Needs

So what  are the 6 human needs, according to Big Tony?

Certainty vs Uncertainty/Variety 

Significance vs Connection & Love

Growth and Contribution.

A Class 1 experience:

• feels good - satisfies at least 4 of the 6 human needs.
• is good for you
• is good for others
• serves the greater good

2. Most people want to avoid Class 2 experiences, but mastering them brings us the most joy, growth and fulfillment.

A Class 2 experience:

• does not feel good
• is good for you
• is good for others
• serves the greater good

3. Nonproductive Class 3 experiences provide immediate pleasure but eventually destroy our quality of life and give us ultimate pain. Drinking or eating to excess could fit into this category.

A Class 3 experience:

• feels good
• is not good for you
• is not good for others
• does not serve the greater good

4. People often indulge in Class 4 experiences as a result of peer pressure, conditioning or old belief systems. Smoking cigarettes, for example, usually doesn’t feel good the first time, yet many people continue to do it.

A Class 4 experience:

• does not feel good
• is not good for you
• is not good for others
• does not serve the greater good

The secret to a happy and fulfilled life is learning to convert Class 2 experiences into Class 1—making the process of doing them feel good as well as be good.

What is something that you don't do, which is a class 2 experience, but you need to do it.

How can you reframe it so that it becomes a class 1 experience?

Writing Music 

Certainty - Develop a routine - 24 minutes a day. Remember - a composer composes.

Uncertainty/Variety - feel free to leap between genres and projects. Move when it feels hard.

Significance - Share your music with people. Register your music with APRA

Connection & Love - Play your music with and for people.

Growth - listen and develop your skills as a composer/songwriter.  Increase your technical  and playing skills.

Contribution - Be willing to be of service to people who need composed music.

Let's see how that works out!

Personal Power Day 3: The power of Associations

3 Associations in my past life that have been empowering.

3. By enacting plans, I achieve my goals, even if it is differently to the way I though they would be achieved.

3 Associations in my life that are disempowering .

1. I have been overlooked because of my age - therefore I am too old.
2. I have been told I am ugly - therefore I must be not handsome enough to be an actor.
3. If I ask for what I want,  I will be rejected

Personal Power Day 1:The Key to Personal Power: Decision

I started my day with "15 minutes to thrive".  This is a routine that I have done in the past, but I have let fall away.  It was really good to give thanks and to envision - really set my day up well.

The program now swings over to Personal Power, and I need to make 2 decisions now, and take action.

The first one is to commit to doing my eye exercises daily. My near sight is not as good as I would like it to be, and juggling glasses is a bore.  If I can reduce my need for them it cannot be a bad thing!

The second one is to learn how to use Garage Band on my mobile phone - commit to spending some time on it every day.

NB. BOTH of these decisions are in line with outcomes.  To have full sensory acuity, and a hit recording.

So excuse me - I have to do my eye exercises, then tutor myself on garage band!

Tony Robbins Inner Circle - Ultimate edge day one.

 About a year ago I joined Tony Robbins Inner Circle.  This package included access to all of his courses online.  I have only dabbled in it (never a good thing to dabble), but today decided to 'gop for it', do the courses AND the coursework, and see what happens.

Top of the list was Ultimate edge - Day 1 - Decisions & Destiny

1. Name one thing that you are happy about in your life?

My physical fitness.

Why?

Because I am at my ideal weight, and am doing a daily workout that makes me stronger and more flexible every day.  I've been doing it for 5 years, but have really started to focus on it of late.

https://thehappybody.com/

2. Name one thing that you are unhappy about in your life?

My lack of progress in my workplace promotion wise.

Why?

Because I really thought that by now (13 years), I'd have had at least one promotion.  Because I would like more money, more income, more responsibility.

The difference between the two is that I have taken total responsibility for the first one, but not the second. I've blamed others, circumstances and myself for my lack of promotion.

What would your life be like if it was exactly the way you wanted it to be today?

I would be at the 'standard of youth' as defined by The Happy Body Program.

Lizzie and I would have a vibrant romantic marriage.

I would be doing acting jobs in movies and miniseries.

I would be a Leading Seaman

I would be a successful supertrader, able to trade 10 contracts comfortably and profitably,

I would be a best selling composer in a variety of genres.

I would be a successful performer in Las Vegas.

I would have beautiful and legible handwriting.
