The heroes journey

First of all, I want to thank you for coming here. I also want you to thank yourself for taking the effort. If you read this and give it a thought, the first step in your own heroes journey has already been taken.

What is “The heroes journey”?

The heroes journey is in its essence really the core of every intriguing story. From the ancient mythology in Greece to modern day movies like Star Wars, The Hobbit and Avatar. The heroes journey is a pattern of narrative, identified over 50 years ago by the american Joseph Campbell. The heroes journey describes the typical adventure with a hero who ventures out in the unknown world, overcomes great obstacles and comes home as a transformed person with riches.

My own “The heroes journey”

I just found out that I had also been taking the heroes journey, but in real life, without even knowing it.

It was in December 2012 that I made the decision that enough is enough. My kids were growing up so it was past time for me to grow up as well. I then quit gaming and gambling, which had been a great part of my life. Probably as some kind of escape from reality, instead of facing the problems I had as a father of 2 kids and a demanding full time work. The result of my escape had been less sleep, less energy and bad performance both at work and in family life. My wife always complained about me forgetting things, which was a reality (even though she still does sometimes :-)

I started by deciding to spend time learning something new instead, and ended up with trying to master trading.This became a total failure since I am driven by feelings, which does not work well in trading. Luckily I started with a demo account trading binaries with a system called Pate. I was genius when learned how to read charts and really understand them, if you could have put your feelings aside. I also tried binary option combined with a martingale system that worked like clockwork doubling up 5 losses up to 5 times, if I would have stayed with 5 times. This time it was with real money and was profitable until I lost it all 5 times. I then went over to network marketing and personal development in Empower Network and Big Idea Mastermind. Started a blog, learned and started to advertise and started to listen to personal development presentations. It was a great company and a great experience but extremely hard to recruit so it ended up just being expensive.

The heroes journey

 

The road forward was extremely crooked and nothing really worked for me. Thought that trading with the help of others in Etoro would help me so I joined their traders “facebook” system where you could copy the successful. Only two problems aroused. First, I could not keep my fingers away and traded myself as well. You can guess the outcome of that. Secondly, the traders i choose always seemed to have bumps in their successes whenever I jumped aboard. I still have an account with Twitter shares on it, but that’s all. Then went on searching for robots to trade for me and joined a Bitcoin robot that was great, the only problem was that I never succeeded in linking the money sent to the broker with my accounts, so had to withdraw eventually. Now the rate has skyrocketed, offcourse. Next was to find some great system to trade Binary option for me without me having to choose the trades. I found and tried a couple, but they were all useless and felt like scams.  So I thought maybe a plain trading robot trading currencies could work. Was a bit more cautious now and started to search for the right one.

Then an opportunity came from a network friend about a revenue sharing company. Looked great so I put in all I could afford and more. This was something that did not depend on me, looked serious and could not be jeopardized by my feelings.

The journey continued with me starting a new blog and trying out affiliate marketing, just to end up with me feeling ashamed of myself. I guess all these personal development stuff was getting to me ;-). Failure upon failure led to more personal development and now, a little over a year after taking the big decision I have finally found my way back home again. Transformed and enriched. Last week I found the purpose of my life, yesterday I found out what I really had been doing (I had taken the heroes journey) and today I got acknowledgement of my first paycheck!

Your own “The heroes journey”

Now I encourage you to take the first steps towards you own journey. The difference for you is that I will lead your way and be at your side as a mentor and companion along the path to riches. My suggestion to you is to start reading books that will enlighten you and show “the light”. If you can read at least 10 pages every day you will be 3650 pages richer when a year has passed. To make it even easier for you to start, I can provide you with all the classic books in personal development. This is in a downloadable format where you get the books in both PDFs and Mp3s. This will make it possible for you to listen to the books instead of reading them. Which in turn makes it possible for you to use your phone in your downtime while exercising, driving, cleaning or using public transportation etc. No, there is no limit here and you won’t even have to put in any extra time for this…

As examples of good books to read, see my posts: The slight edge or Think and Grow Rich for free

Next step for you is to start helping your friends and relatives, actually the most important step in the whole process. By helping others you can grow as a person to levels out of you own imagination. What you will gain by this is insight, confidence, recognition, purpose etc. When you find your way home again you will understand. When you find your way home you will also feel so much greater, happier and enriched. But there are also possible financial rewards awaiting you…

Now the ball is in your hands,

Yours truly,Image

Sleep Cycle – your way to a good nights sleep

I just found out how to sleep better, just by using another great app in my Iphone. Have you heard about Sleep Cycle? It’s free (I think still) and you can find it easily in the appstore.

Do you want to improve your sleep? Then you should try Sleep Cycle.

Sleep Cycle - your way to a good nights sleep 

The capture is in Swedish (since it is from my Iphone), but you can choose language…

Their official website: http://www.sleepcycle.com/

How does it work then? Well, you put it under your sheet in bed just above your pillow and it will measure your sleep cycles by the way you move during the night. This can be very helpful, because it is not just the number of hours that determines how well you sleep and how rested you feel waking up. It can be a number of things that has influence over the quality of your nightly hours.

For me it has become a game changer in many ways. First of all, it gets your attention and make you more aware of an area in your life that affects everything else. Just by thinking about it makes you reminded of its importance. And if you take next step, it will make all the difference.

Next step is to start analyzing your sleep patterns. What makes a good nights sleep, and what makes it bad?

What i started to do was to compare the different kind of nights and see if there was any patterns. My first discovery was that I always had a better night if I got to bed at a reasonable time in the evening, no matter how I slept in the morning. My best night were always when going to bed around 11 pm. As soon as it got past midnight, the night was ruined.

Next thing I discovered was the evening habits and the effect they had on my sleeping patterns. If I were sitting in front of the computer just before getting to bed, I had a long time getting down to “deep sleep”. The same thing actually happened if I watched an interesting tv-program or read a good book just before sleep. But if I instead spent the last half hour preparing and planning for tomorrow and went over the next day in my head, clearing my thoughts, before attempting to sleep. The curve went straight down to good deep sleep in minutes.

As I have said so many times in previous posts, like the post about one of my favorite books “The slight Edge by Jeff Olsen“, it is the small things that makes the biggest result. Just try to get aware of the little things you can change in your life that really doesn’t take any much effort to do. It is just a way of changing the way you think and the way you take responsibility for your everyday life.

Another example of that is to skip added sugar in your tea or coffee every day, like I am doing in my “30 day challenge“. That sugar is so unnecessary and will only cause bigger risk for heart problems in your future.

Just to let you know, I am not bragging about my enormous life here. It is in just as much of a mess a yours. I am doing this to become a better role model for my kids, to grow more as a person so I can share more and to inspire you to do the same. You need to find a good purpose for your life. When you do that, everything will be much clearer. Try listening to Tony Robbins for inspiration, he is awesome. Here is an example:

And yet, I have saved the best part!

How do you feel waking up in the morning when your alarm starts to wake you? Not to good I guess. But now there is a solution to this. And you might have guessed where I am aiming? Yes the Sleep Cycle takes care of that too. You just set a time-frame of half an hour when you wanna wake up and the Sleep Cycle wakes you up when you are sleeping the lightest within these 30 minutes. Imagine waking up when you are half awake already instead of when your in deed sleep. It makes a huge difference. And you can set your favorite tune or song to wake you up as well. Can it get any better?

Take care and sleep well…

30-day challenge

Have you ever tried a 30-day challenge? If you haven’t, you should really try it out. It can be a perfect start to achieve great things in your life, just by starting with something small. When you feel the thrill of success and confidence, you want more and bigger…

I got my inspiration from a TED talk: Try something new for 30 days

Image

I am currently doing my first 30-day challenge: No added sugar

The challenge was so easy and so inspiring so I am already planning my next challenge. Please join in, support and start your own 30-day challenge.

Start to grow by taking your own 30-day challenge!

/Peter

Here is the current log for “No added sugar”:

2014-02-24

Wohoo, one day left and this challenge is sooo done. I feel like I started a whole new episode of my life. Things are just exploding now and opportunities are coming from all directions. New networks, new friends and so many business opportunities that I do not know how to cope with it and do not know where to start or what to pick. I trust them all since we are all in the same business and all friends. Hmm. That came out wrong, because you should not trust people when it comes to business. But everything just feels so right and even my stomach tells me to go for it. Probably I will just stake everything I have and go for it. Feels like the opportunity of my life. If it works out I will have a bigger paycheck on the side than my full time paycheck. And the best thing of it all is that I am going to learn so much that it’s crazy. I have the chance to grow here as I have never had before and I am ready. As ready as I can be now with practicing with the challenges to make my decision making a great habit, with personal fitness on track and personal development exploding. Boy, do I want you to join me on this great journey. Come on, let me share this on a personal basis with you so we can grow together. Check my blog and look me up on facebook or any other media, always with my real name. I am authentic and just as normal as you are. See you on the other side. Love you… www.cernvall.com

While taking a long walk today I was listening to Tony Robbins book “Wake the giant within”. One of the subjects he discuss is pain and pleasure. And more specifically how we associate them with experiences, conscious and unconscious. What if I could associate painful urge with pleasure of being able to resist it? Do you understand my point. Then associate/replace pleasure of using with pain of bad conscience and pain of failure, brilliant…

2014-02-23

Massive Action Plan. The goal here is to list all the things that could lead me to my goal. It might be so that I only need some of them to reach it since only 20% of what you actually do creates 80% of the result. The hard task is here to find out which 20%, so you better come up with everything you can. In this case it is not something that needs to be acquired, only a minds game of breaking a habit. This makes planning just as important but the number of tasks less. The most important things for me will be to remind myself of why, find substitutes when the craving starts and to make it official. To remind myself I will put up notes on my work desk screen with my why. As substitutes I will make sure that I always have chewing gum, fruit and water nearby. To make it public I will post it here and ask everyone around me for support. Maybe I should try to figure out when the urge is as strongest, so that I can prepare for those moments. Is there something I have missed? Well, to be in a good shape as possible should help too, so make sure to sleep at least 7 hours every night, workout at least 3 times every week and take those extra steps of walking every day. Summary: Public, Why, Substitute, “Urgemoments” and shape. Sounds like a good plan :-). Well it better be, only 2 days left. Night…

2014-02-22

Today I did everything. Worked, joined a new business, socialized, took care of the weeks laundry and had a severe cold. What a day, phew. Hope for a restful day tomorrow, but doubt it. And here I was supposed to write a massive action plan, lol. Have no idea where to start. Will have to do some homework/research tomorrow. Now I have to get some rest so that I can get well. That will probably be on Monday… Why am I always sick during the weekends? Anyway, good night and sleep tight.

2014-02-21

Damn, missed one day. But my day is not over yet, even though the date has passed. Yes, you got it right. I got stuck in front of my computer far too long. Had a lot of stuff to take care of, and some organizing too. Anyway, it was productive and had to be done. Wrote a new post in my blog as well. Pretty satisfied with it to actually. It is about “The heroes Journey ” and you can read it here: www.cernvall.com. We were to write the MAP Massive actionplan, but that will have to wait until tomorrow. Now i must get some sleep. Good night…

2014-02-19

Hurray, one mor day. Now only six left and next challenge creeping closer and closer. Next part of the plan after the big “WHY” is mentor ship/ role modelling/ expert group or whatever you may call it. The purpose here is to get strength, advice and knowledge from someone who has accomplished what you want to achieve. In my case I can just role model myself and learn from my previous attempts since I have actually succeeded for 30 days before. The trick here is to try see the differences between when i made it and when I did not. What made me succeed? And the results of that must be written down in next step, the MAP. Massive Action Plan. The same goes for having someone else mentoring you where you also need to find the key elements that needs to get done in order to take you all the way to achieving your goal.

2014-02-18

Today I am celebrating, it’s only 7 days left. But at the same time I start to shiver thinking about the next challenge starting in 8… Never mind that, lets move on to the next step in planning. Third step after you first accept and decide and the move on to outcome is the most important step of them all. To drive your motivation you need to find an argument that will make you strong as an ox. The only way you can do that is by defining WHY, and make it so that it touches your heart. In my case for next challenge it is divided into two different parts where love is one, and hate is another. A good tip is always to have opposites to see both sides if you loose motivation. My Why to “Not using nicotine for 30 day” is To become the best rolemodel for my kids so they don’t end up in addiction as I did. Also to keep my money away from the greedy companies who makes it so damn hard to quit. They want you to continue buying there products, but no more contribution to them, I will use my hard earned money do invest in the future insted… Hows that for a heart touching why? Cheers,

2014-02-18

Another day, another opportunity. Yesterday I invited everyone in one of my facebook networks to come up with new ideas for business ideas and gosh, did I get answers. I totally drown in suggestions now and have so much to sort and evaluate. It immediately starts to make think about focus again. I need to stay in focus, because whenever I try to do to much at once nothing gets done properly. As it is now I have 3 main focuses with this, my blog and my Better Living network. Perhaps it is enough, even though you always want to find something else to improve your income…

2014-02-17

Just updated my goals in life… How about this for life purpose instead of goals to achieve: My world is now upside down and the goals and dreams I used to have dont really support my new purpose in life… My only and solely purpose in life is now to be the best father I can possibly become. To grow as a rolemodel, to do everything I wish my kids would do when they grow up and to acquire all the knowledge they can possibly need. And as a bonus, get an income on the side big enough to let me support my grandchildren with all the time and money needed when those happy days are coming….

2014-02-16

What a day. I love Sundays! Just walking around doing small stuff all day long. Booked a trip to Miami and New York, took care of kids homework, some cleaning and a lot of nothing at all… But soon it’s Monday again and here I am sitting up to late again, as every Sunday. Now back to the ongoing tasks where I am still trying to enjoy tea again. It is not hard to skip sugar, but it is hard to get the pleasure back. So, next challenge and goal writing. The admit part is done, next is outcome and exit as I see it. Like in everything you do whether its short or long ranged you should have a planned outcome. For my next challenge the outcome and exit will be: 30 days without any nicotine will break my bad habit. It will also build up my strength, my confidence and willpower to stay free from nicotine forever. I will succeed because I make it public and because I put it down in writing for me to review whenever I need. Go healthy, go strong…

2014-02-16

Strange! I wrote a nice piece of log yesterday, but it’s gone? Anyway, 9 days left and countdown has began. First part of goal setting for next challenge is to face your current situation and decide where to go. For me that will be as follows: I admit that I am an addict and will forever be! But I can now using the 30-day challenge break my bad habit and that way stay away from nicotine forever by getting strength and confidence of achievement.

2014-02-14

Happy Valentines day!!! ❤️❤️❤️

2014-02-14

Change of plans again, sorry. Have to be ready for next challenge, so practise will be planning next challenge. Statement coming up…

2014-02-14

Just 11 days left now and I’m getting nervous. Not regarding this challenge though becauce this one was a piece of cake. But for next one, the real challenge. Nevertheless I am grateful that I did this challenge first though. It was a good start and good preparation. Repetition is the key, remember? Today I was listening to this guy, Robert Kiyasaki something, who has written a lot of books about how to get rich. And ones again the patterns are the same as with all the great ones telling you how to achieve something. Start with your why, determine the outcome/exit, get a burning desire and write down your plan. I think I have gotten more or less the same story now from 10 different “experts”, so it has to be something to it. The problem for most people, like myself, is that it is so easy to dream about it, but so hard to actually do it… And that’s why I love these 30 day challenges, it’s a great way to practice before you take on something big and life changing. Even though small changes can change your life as well, but you know what I mean. To head out for that big project of being financially free, or to be able to quit your job and be selfemployed or whatever big you have in mind. So, share your thoughts and let’s practice together. Next challenge will be made by the “schoolbook” with written why’s, outcomes and desires etc. hmm, maybe we should practice now to get better prepared even for the next one. I have been writing about how, so let’s do it for this project as well. Statement by statement starting tomorrow. Begging with accepting the truth as it is, and not how I pretended it to be. Cheers

2014-02-13

You will have to forgive me if you think that I am bragging about my achievements and everything that is happening to me right now. My purpose with this is to inspire you, to let you know what is possible and what you can do yourself. My life just 2 years ago was a mess with too little sleep, a lot of gaming and gambling and almost no exercise. This resulted in poor relations, lack of interest, bad performance and grave memory losses. I kept forgetting things all the time and my wife got really frustrated. It is important to stand up for your self and really get a clear view of your life. Where am I heading? And where do I wanna go? Even more important as a father where your kids do as you do, not as you say. As an example I can mention the not so good habit my kids had of whining whenever it was time for sports practice. Now when I workout regularly myself, they haven’t complained once! So, keep up the good work and be proud of yourself.

2014-02-12

Sugar kills you! Read today that 7 out 10 people that comes into the emergency with heart-attack has problems with their blood-sugar. So, this challenge is good and keeps the level of sugar lower, which makes my chances of getting heart-attack lower. Keep getting stronger and keep getting your sugar lower folks. Take care

2014-02-11

It seems I have forgotten to tell you about the challenge. Well it’s past 50% now and all is well, except for one little mistake. It was yesterday morning when we were having breakfast. My doughter complained about her not being tasty. And since she now skipped sugar I stupidly told her to add a piece of sugar to make it taste better. You know, as a father you only want them to be happy and satisfied… Anyway, so she did but it still didn’t taste good. Then I just offered her my tea instead since it did have a different taste. We switched teacups and the matter was solved to everyone’s satisfaction. The only problem then was that I started to drink her tea and did not think much about it until I half a cup later realized that it had one pice of sugar in it. Damn and damn again, what a mistake and what a wonderful taste! So, it’s just to start all over again hating the taste without sugar and slowly adopt until it gets ok again…

2014-02-11

Good morning. Yesterday I just had to see my favorite tv-series Elementary, it’s great and both me and my son love it. So, where were we. Purpose, yes it is all about purpose. If you do something with purpose instead of chance your odds of succeeding will increase dramatically. Just think about it for a while and you will understand what I mean. If you as an example surf the internet just randomly for an hour in the evening, what will you remember and gain from it the next morning. Compared to if you have a purpose with your surfing and aim for something specific. What are your chances of remembering something you have learned then the next morning. So, if you see your role of a father (parent) with a purpose and get determined on the short term outcomes as well as the long term outcomes. Then you have a totally different game to play. Another interesting observation of mine recently is that my kids have not complained once about going to sports practice since I started to workout regularly. It used to be a weekly thing… Time for work, have nice day

2014-02-10

I have found a new purpose in life! To be the role model, inspiration and teacher to my kids. This may sound strange because that’s what a parent is all about, but I always took it for granted. But when you think about it and get aware of it you can actually make it totally different. If you really try instead of just being a parent stressing around and just do what you have to. This little simple challenge actually made my little girl, 11 years old now, make a choice that made me so proud as a father. She choose not to use sugar in her tea anymore, out of her own will inspired by me. This made me think, and gave me a new purpose in life. More later, now it’s Sherlock on TV. My favorite

2014-02-10

Monday and its great! I used to hate Mondays actually but nowadays its OK, but this morning was the best in weeks. Woke up to get a message from my Iphone App “Moves” telling me that I last week made a new all time record with 63 425 steps walking and 10 519 running steps. What a boost. Can definitely recommend this awesome inspiring app. Cheers /Peter

2014-02-10

Hmm, still not sleeping and it’s soon 1 AM. Not good since I am supposed to live a healthier and stronger life now. But Sundays are always tough to end in time. Must be due to Monday coming up. Did have a great weekend though with 2 workouts and lots of things done. Sleep tight and sweet dreams…

2014-02-09

So, Sunday at last. Got a bit late so I had to quit pretty abruptly. Where we’re we? Oh, yes fourth step role model. This is where you are supposed to take inspiration and lesson from someone who made the same journey before. No need to invent the wheel again. I will just role model myself, because this has been done before. I have made 30 days a number of times actually, but then failed later on due to lack of respect for the task and due to personal weakness. But now I am stronger than ever, and if I can just make those 30 days… Role model yes, how did I succeed last time? How did I feel and what lessons can I bring etc. Last step, number 5, the Map: Massive Action Plan. This is where we outline all the activities needed to reach our goal. Sometimes you can get it fast, and sometimes it takes “forever”. My activities are mainly tracking habits to know when I should be alert and have plans how to avoid the hardest moments and moods. To keep my why close and replace the bad habit with something better. Like eating a fruit or drink a glass of water. To project building anger on the companies making it hard for me to quit so that I buy more. The list can be long and must be complete before I start my challenge. All planning should be written down on paper so I can see it and remind myself along the way. Leave no stone unturned. The next challenge will be a success to. Cheers,

2014-02-09

If I only had more time. Have you heard that one before? LOL It’s not the time that is insufficient, it’s your focus… The problem for me is that I would need 6-7 more hours every day. If I could just skip sleep, then it would be perfect. But the solution is not to skip sleep, it is for me as for everyone else: focus. Never mind, because I would never settle for less things to focus on whether I wished it or not. But the challenges will have to be done one by one, and that’s good. Sorry for not writing in a couple of day but time flies :-) Back to my next challenge and purpose as I was supposed to wright about since this one was to easy and the next one needs preparation. Lately I have been listening to Tony Robbins, wich I deeply recommend you to do as well, and got influenced to try out a new way of preparation. It’s 5 steps: face it, outcome, why, role model and map. The first one is to accept things as they are, and not better or worse. I face that I am an addict, and have to break free. Step two is to be clear and specific about the outcome. My outcome is to break the habit in 30 days, become strong and motivated to move on without nicotine or substitutes. Step 3 is why, and it has to be emotional. My why is be good role model and example for my kids so they don’t end up being addicts like myself. Furthermore to live stronger and longer for them and to ease my wallet of 100$ every month. Those will go straight to my pension funds. Fourth step is role model. To Oops, times up. Good night and see you soon, bye

2014-02-04

Tuesday morning, semidarkness, cloudy, chilly, damp. With others words, things can only get better :-) So, today’s mission was purpose. Yes, you always need to have a purpose. Why do I have to quit nicotine? It’s not good for me, it’s unhealthy,costly and it’s a burden. So the purpose then should be to become a better, healthier, richer person that is free? Yes! But will I even notice the difference during the process of quitting? No, probably not. So that means I have great goals, but no purpose. Hmm, this was harder than I thought. Will have to get back on that, sorry…

2014-02-03

No new challenge today? Nope, was not allowed to start another one until this one is finished…. Never mind, would probably never had made it without proper preparations anyway. Wich I indeed have time for now, and that’s good. So tomorrow’s task will be purpose and goal then. See ya all then, night

2014-02-02

So, one week is up and the challenge already feels complete. This challenge was so much easier than expected. I am already up for next challenge and wonder where to go next? Is it time to take the bull by it’s horns already? To stand up for the toughest challenge possible? Hmm, maybe it is. Well, I am a bit broke right now so it would fit nicely to cut down on the expenses. And I am in fact feeling stronger than ever before. Fine, tomorrow it happens. Tomorrow is the day I will quit my nicotine habit once and for all. Wish me luck and see you on the other side…

2014-02-01

Mm Saturday and been in bed so long that my back hurts. Guess it’s time to get up and make breakfast for my family. Yesterday when we were at my wife’s sister having tea and sweets I could proudly tell her that I don’t use sugar any more. That felt great!

2014-01-31

Another day another morning, and today it’s friday. Thank god it’s friday… Had vanilla tea this morning and it actually tasted good, how strange isn’t that ha…

2014-01-30

Still going strong and the taste of Tea without sugar is actually starting to slowly begin its journey towards being acceptable. Still far to being good…

2014-01-29

Today has been all about work unfortunately. The challenge is moving forward without resistance, but has taken away the joy of drinking tea :-(. I really hope it will get better or I will have to substitute with water instead. Hua!

2014-01-27

Today was great! Continued my challenge but did not have much time for tea. The ones I took we’re not tasty, but ok. Did get time for a car accident, five stiches to my eyebrow and a couple of hours work as well. Life is great and Mondays are awesome…

2014-01-26

Just had my first breakfast without sugar (instead of 3 pieces) in my tea, and without a lot of sugar in my sour milk. At first the tea tasted horrible, but then together with a sandwich it was ok. The sour milk was almost as good without sugar. So, I guess that it mostly come down to habit. Let’s break it!

2014-01-26

Challenge start: No added sugar

Life is a bitch, and then you die

How nice does that sound? Sorry for being provocative, but I wanna make a point here. If you continue to blame, to get angry, to get upset and to just let your life pass by without really try to make it a good one. Then “Life is a bitch, and then you die” will be you reality. It is so easy to take fast injections of energy, stimuli, and joy just to make you feel better. But what will that do for you in the end? It will only sink you down.

So, longterm is the game to play then. After reading the book “The slight edge” I started to see this and suddenly became aware of the little things you do to make a difference in the end.

The only problem now is where to start? I wanna do it all, but haven´t got the time or possibility to do it. Furthermore, I should not do it all since the risk for overdoing and crashing then becomes huge.

What has happened since last post then? Well exercise is now a habit of working out 2 to 3 times a week + walking daily at almost the double distance compared to past. Sleeping is improved and under constant review. Added sugar has been removed from tea and sour milk,  with the result of at least 10 fewer bits of sugar every day. This was made through my first 30 day challenge “No added sugar”. Constant reading and listening to good motivational and educational books as well as speeches has been enlightening to say the least. And every to do list of things that should be done and that could be done pretty easily gets done right away.

The only problem here is that I constantly  add new things and search for more stuff instead of focusing on the things I should concentrate on. So, from now on I will try to make the above work in excellence and stop adding new stuff. Will need to try getting all my thoughts and ideas down in writing and put the extra energy given on my children.

I love the evenings spent with my kids doing homework and having goodies

Life is a bitch and then youd die

 

All my different projects will be discussed separately in future posts, with tips on “apps” etc.

And by listening to my new favourite Tony Robbins I have now to set new goals for my life. Ones with more specific outcomes and more why.

Will come back to that in a new post as well I guess. As said before, many things to but so little time.

What I can reveal right now is my latest and greatest app on my Iphone that has been running for a month now showing every step I take. It is a stepcounter in you Iphone that lies in the background and tracks your every move. Inspiring to say the least…

Today I woke up feeling a bit heavy since it´s monday, got this as a first message. Talk about getting strength and starting to feel happiness suddenly.

Life is a bitch and then you die

I can recommend you all to get this app, its cheap and great. Just search for Moves.

Take care out there:

Workout daily and feel the growth

There are a million ways to grow, and workout is indeed one way that works for me…

I have been thinking about working out on a regular basis for years but am finally now doing it since a couple of weeks. The best thing about it is that I can feel progress already. I can now run for 5 kilometers in about 30 minutes, not possible a couple of weeks ago. I can row 2 kilometers in 10 minutes, not possible a couple of weeks ago. I can now do 20 push ups, not possible a couple of weeks ago. etc. etc…

Can you understand how this makes me feel? Proud! I even bough myself a gym card at the local gym for the first time in my life.

And my goal stands as a beacon lightning my way.

“I will be walking on the beach without a t-shirt this summer, feeling proud of myself”

My method is now to do a gym workout 3 times a week (every second day if possible) and do some home exercises (push ups and sit ups with a stick) the days I don’t go to the gym. You can look at the video to see the sit ups that I recommend. The stick is a useful tool to workout with at home.

You can do this too…

Just start on a daily basis doing easy workout at home. Start with a few push ups and a few sit ups every day. You will soon be able to increase it. Then start taking walks or light jogging. You will soon feel the progress and urge for more.

Remember that if you want to build a new habit, you will have to do it for at least 21 consecutive days.

If you want more inspiration on daily task you can read my post “The slight edge by Jeff Olson”

Take care and grow

Think and Grow Rich for free

What a day, what a day.  Had visitors from abroad so the evening became night and all morning disappeared…

But I have good news for you, because I found great resources to get you going for free. Remember my last post “lets make this year even better than the last one” where I urged you to start reading good books and to start listening to audios. I there recommended you to read  a classic book by Napoleon Hill called “Think and grow rich”. A book written 75 years ago based on research and interviews with over 500 self made millionaires. The purpose of this book is to explain the secret formula to make you rich.

Think and Grow Rich for free

Through one of my networks I got these links and recommendation where you can read and listen to the classic book for free on any device:

To read it use this link: https://archive.org/details/Think_and_Grow_Rich

To listen to it use this link: https://archive.org/details/ThinkAndGrowRich_21stCenturyEdition

If you have an Iphone you can open it in safari and bookmark it on your homescreen to make it work/look as an app

Personally I can strongly recommend this book and I am right now reading and listening to it. The reason for reading and listening to it at the same time is to get the best out of it because you notice and remember things differently, as well as get a better understanding from going over it twice…

The version I am reading is actually not from the above link since I read it from my Iphone, and then its easier to have it in your Ibooks. Besides that, the version I am reading is with added comments specified for consultants and knowledge workers. I find it very useful and you can find it in appstore called: Think and Grow Rich: The Consultant and Knowledge Workers Edition. This version is also free.

When you read this book, think of it as a way to start your journey. Forget all your past and try to open your mind to it. Do not just think of it as a way to get rich in fortune, but also as a way to get rich in other aspects of life. You can apply this just as good regarding your health or anything you really desire and set your mind to.

Good luck and happy reading/listening

Let us make this year even better than the last one

Happy new year to you all..

.Happy new year

Let us make this year even better than the last one!!!

For me personally, I can say that I had the best year since my kids were born.

And why is that you may ask, well it´s because I finally started to take care of myself and think ahead. It is so easy to be living in the past and just live one day at the time not caring about the future.

But what happens then? Nothing, life goes by and it feels comfortable. You may even enjoy those little extra treatments of food, candy, luxury spending and not to forget all those lovely lazy days.

But what happens then in the long run? You will not enjoy it for long when your health starts to get affected and when your bank accounts are getting emptied. Then you will get depressed and urge for more “treatments” just to keep you happy. And so the spiral goes on in a never ending drowning hole…

But what can we do instead? I don´t wanna make my life miserable just to get better later on…

Start with the little things. As someone wise said “simple is better”. Make it simple and do it small everyday instead of trying to make it all happen at once. You will never succeed is you expect results immediately. What do you think happens to all the people that wins big in the lottery? Most go broke again, some cant handle it and just a few get happy. And why is that you may wonder? Because they did not earn  it, they never had to fight for it. Did you ever as a kid steal candy? If you did, you know it just didn’t taste as good as the earned and bought one, right?

But if you have a desire to change, to make things better in life. Can you do it? Yes you can do it, and you will make it happen if you just keep on working on your dreams one day at a time. But remember, it is not the goal that is the satisfaction. It is all the little successes and victories along the way. Believe me, because I started this journey a year ago and I still haven’t got much closer to my goal even though it feels like I’m already there.

My problem was that I had no clue on where to start or how to do it. I just decided that enough is enough and it’s time to do something useful instead of wasting time and money on gaming and gambling. So I started by searching the internet and boy did I get screwed again and again. I did not know that it could be so easy so I just over complicated everything and was searching for instant results all the time. But you do not have to do the same mistakes as I did. You can just step on the right path and get going instantly without spending a lot of time and cash for nothing. Well, it was not for nothing since I now know so much more and have learnt many lessons. I also know that I will never be able to sell stuff on the Internet that everyone is trying to make you. I might still recommend stuff I like but never for the purposes of getting rich. That is not for me and I strongly advise you to stay away as well.

Oh, falling out of subject here sorry. Back to you and me, and our journey towards being better and happier…

After reading some of the books recommended below, and trying it our for myself, I can now truly say that the journey begins with a desire,  continues with a goal and takes off with daily actions.

Take health for example. The most important and the easiest to start with, since it is so easy and so important to get results. A couple of daily/weekly suggestions:

  • Sleep regularly. Try to go to sleep the same time every night and try to get up at the same time every morning. Measure how much sleep you need to feel rested and have that as a goal. Will probably decrease if you work on the following suggestions…
  • Exercise daily, start with sit ups and push ups. Just a couple to start with and then increase slowly.
  • Make a decision every time you start to eat or drink. Is this good for me, or is it just instant gratification?
  • If/when you are up to it: Workout or run 2-3 times a week. Start slowly and enhance as you get stronger

Next area is your personal development:

  • Start reading books every day. Books about personal development or books that show you how to reach your goals. If you just read 10 pages every day you will have read several books by the end of your first year.
  • Listen to inspiring audios or watch inspiring videos every day on you downtime, going to work, out walking, doing house cleaning etc. Available on YouTube or Ted.com for example.
  • Stop wasting to much time watching television, gaming or gambling. It is not good for you.

The last but not least area is off course finances:

  • Start by putting aside a small amount from your paycheck every month and see if you can spare it. Then increase that amount every month until you find your limit. Put it on a separate savings account with good interest rate and you will see it grow.  I might come up with some investment suggestions later on…
  • Make a decision every time you buy something, is this really useful or is it just for instant gratification (same as for food or drink)
  • Keep an open mind for Ideas. Maybe you can come up with something unique?

Then there are the social area which I will not go into today because it will come naturally once the others are being worked on, and because it will be talked upon in other ways and in other posts. Like “is anger you worst enemy” , “useful little phrases” , “quality time” etc.

So how to start then? Well, start with your desires. Write them down and make some goals out of them. The goals need to be precise and measurable. Two of my goals as examples:

  • By June I’m going to the beach without a t-shirt, and feel good about it.
  • In five years I will have the choice to work as an employed or not, because my income on the side will be as big or bigger than my paycheck.

I also have a desire to become a personal coach of some kind but have not been able to formalize the goal for that yet. And then there is the retirement desire. How will my life be when I retire? Yet to come…

Well, I think that sums it up for today.

The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson

Last week a dear friend of mine gave me a tip on a great book she was currently reading. She encouraged me to read the Slight Edge by Jeff Olson, because it might change it all…

It did not take long before I started to read, and boy did I get stuck or what! The best reading I had encountered this year by far.

The Slight Edge is all about how to approach you own life. We are actually living it, so why not make it good? By daily doing the easy little things that makes you move forward in life you can accomplish great things in the long run. For example, read 10 pages of a “good” book every day and you will have the knowledge from 10 “good” books in just a year. Start making 10 push-ups every day, and then increase a little every week. How many pushups do you think can be made then in a year? And how do you think that will affect your body? Imagine that you just add some sit ups and stretching as well, and when feeling stronger maybe add some regular outdoor exercise. What would happen to your body then? The possibilities are endless.

There is a lot of discussions about doing what 95% of all people would not do, because there are only 5% that succeeds in fulfilling their goals and live a successful life. Most people quit, because they want to see the results instantly. But the trick is to endure and be patient enough to understand and see the long term goal and benefits.

The Slight Edge was actually perfect for me because it wraps up everything I have been doing this year and gives me the strenght and courage to continue. Last year  in december I decided to quit gaming and gambling, as well as nicotine. To start doing some good with life again, to start moving forward again. For over 10 years everything had been about the kids and about work. It had been so easy just to flee reality with games or tv…

So last year I decided to start over and began by searching the internet for information about trading and making money online. It turned out that I was not the only one. Everyone seemed to be on the same hunt and everyone seemed to be fooled in one way or another. All kind of trading was tried out, but emotions made it too hard. A better way to begin seemed to be by joining Empower Network, which I did. There I found a lot of good educations and there I started blogging. Unfortunately everything was about sales, and that was  both a disappointment as well as “not for me”.

So far I have only found two good things, but the Tube Cash Code is also about sales and that seems to be against my philosophy so there is only Better Living left. But if I can keep up the good work and continue to explore and learn I might find more. If I could only find one good thing every year, then my retirement would become a dream.

Join me in my struggle and share your visions. What are you aiming at and what works for you? Do you have any suggestions for me?

Next thing I am wondering about is if there is any possibility of getting a robot working for you in trading forex or stocks? Is there anyone out there actually working. Is “Fap Turbo 2”  working? How do I manage my virtual server?

Hmm, there are a lot of questions to get answers on and this is what I will dedicate next year to. By taking babysteps everyday and learn it all piece by piece.

Please make comments and join me here or at Facebook, Google+ etc.

Take care and carry on,

Step by step using Tube Cash Code by Corey Gates

Step by step using Tube Cash Code by Corey Gates

First I have to thank you all for the comments you made on my previous blog post: How to succeed with Tube Cash Code by Corey Gates

This makes and old cold heart warm and hopeful. I started this journey last year and have been struggling ever since, trying to find ways to make it online. I even had a blog in Empower Network for half a year and never got any comments. Now with the help of using Tube Cash Code I suddenly got your attention and that only from trying the product out, putting 30 minutes of time into it. Boy, does it work!!!

When reading these comments I see a need to explain a bit more in detail how to get up and running with this tool. And why do I call Tube Cash Code a tool? Because that is how you should treat it…

Back to: Step by step using Tube Cash Code by Corey Gates

First: Buy the product Tube Cash Code (start with the main product, until you earn enough to buy the up sells)

1, Make an account in YouTube and fill out your profile information properly (be honest and spontaneous)

 2, Connect all your other accounts so that you can be easily found. Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+ etc.

3, Go through the excellent training videos in Tube Cash Code

Tube Cash Code start page

4, Make your own video introducing yourself (can be remade later so never mind the quality) and put it up on YouTube

5, Now, think of something that you know of /like a lot. Make a video out of it and then enter different search terms on it in Tube Cash Code using the “Video Shadow” tool (see below). See what others have made to get listed in the top 10. Use their tags and successes to get ranked yourself.

Video Shadow

6, Are you getting the hang of it yet? Good! Then start to decide which path to go? Do you wanna continue to make videos and get paid from YouTube? Or do you wanna sell stuff?

7, If you wanna sell stuff, go open a free account on Clicksure or Clickbank or something similar

8, Go find yourself a good product that you would like to buy yourself and start promoting it (if you can afford to buy it yourself, you should)

9, To promote, go to your Tube Cash Code program (Video Shadow) and find the best results for search terms related to your product. Make a video by yourself, the website, or by “stealing” a little here and there. Then use the tags from those top results to get your video ranked. Don´t forget to name it accordingly.

Here is my first video promoting Tube Cash Code by Corey Gates (will update with new videos whenever I get time for it)

10, Then start a free WordPress blog and to write about it. Make sure to get the best tags from your Tube Cash Code. While you’re at it, start writing other blog posts about your favorite subjects. The more the merrier, because that way you learn and that way you get more eyeballs on your content. Win-Win.

11, Time to get it “viral”. Make links back and forth between your videos, blogs and profiles. Spread the video and blog post on your social channels and ask friends to like and comment on it.

12, Cross your fingers, and make sure you answer all incoming comments and likes. Update if needed

13, Don´t give up, keep at it. The more you do it the more you learn and the more your confidence grows. Never mind your language capacity, it gets better. Hey, I´m from Sweden. Could you have guessed that?

Good luck!

Is anger your worst enemy?

Is anger your worst enemy?

Both I would say. Anger can actuallly be good for you, but it can also be really bad.

So how should you relate to your anger then? Well, first things first and by that I mean that you have to start with controlling your outrages, those are not good for anyting.

My suggestion here is to use the old saying: “Count to 10 and breath deeply”. Works every time and prevents you from having to deal with both bad conscience and consequenses.

Next step is trying to see the big picture. Often when you feel angry the reason behind it can be backtraced to yourself where frustration or bad conscience are the real reasons. In these cases you can make lessons learned and avoid future misbehaviors.

When the reason for your anger is out of your control you must try to step back and try to get more information so that you can understand the reasons.

Others try to supress their feelings by positive thougts and that might work for them, but you must remeber that anger is a natural thing and comes from our survival instincts.

Most importantly is that you learn to let go of your anger becauce being angry for a longer period of time is not good for you, period.

Take care and use your anger wisely
