New Year’s Resolution: Stop "Just Existing" and Start Living Your Life!

You’re invited to Brent Atwater’s Blogtalk Radio show featuring “Stop "Processing" & Start "Progressing with Your Life” on  http://www.blogtalkradio.com/brentatwater  or   http://brentenergywork.com/BLOGTALK_ARCHIVES.htm

Are you the production manager, getting the job done and never having a life? Or are you studying on the sidelines and always planning for the game of life? Are you the bridesmaid and never the bride?  You’ve watched the Secret, know about the Law of Attraction, understand quantum physics and the entanglement theories of “What the Bleep do We Know?”, subscribed to Notes from the Universe (TUT.com), went to an Esther Hicks Abraham workshop, done Donna Eden and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), watched Oprah and Dr Ohmet Oz, read all Dr Phil’s  and Bryon Katies’ insightful books, taken all Adam the Dream Healer workshops, and been to Michael Beckwith, James Ray, Ray Cantfield, Bob Proctor, Lisa Williams’ positive thinking seminars, created your vision board, and still aren’t having the life you envisioned. Do you feel “stuck” in your rut “just existing”?  Make a New Year’s resolution to live your life, no longer as the studious observer event planner, forever the participatory player!

Stop "processing" and start "progressing!"

Although you’ve read, understood, examined, analyzed, justified and explained everything you’ve processed in your mind, have you done anything about it?  Many times on a spiritual, self help, self growth, or self development journey you feel you have gifts, talents, opportunities and options that you are not using. You believe that you are here to benefit others or know inside yourself that you came to have a different life. However, with your very busy life of career and social activities, lessons, classes, readings, experiential workshops, seminars, and lectures you still are not actually moving forward in life. 
You feel like you just exist.

Stop "processing" and start "progressing!"

Do you feel like you have read and done everything that you can? Do you keep telling yourself you are moving forward, yet forward resembles a gerbil on a spinning wheel?  Then you’re in “processing” mode.  “Processing” is about reading, watching, listening to, mulling over and analyzing lots of material whether in educational, career, or social venues, experiential activities or just conversations with your friends.  Even great dreams at night constitute sub conscious processing.

If you’re thinking about a New Year’s resolution, altering and living a few words in your vocabulary will bring productive changes into your life.  “IF” is a tiny word with huge ramifications. “IF” suggests a probability, not a current now factual happening. IF I do this or that, sets up "never never" land  thinking. “If” used for planning stages allows hypothetical thinking that can be changed to become an actual event.  “IF” is part of the processing mode.

“WHEN” I do so and so. “When” is also processing verbiage. “When” begets more data gathering or discussions and sometimes hollow intentions before your “rubber hits the road.” Facts you process in the “when” stage usually contribute to and help create the action of going forward in your life.  “When” also  hypothetical thinking explores what you could, would or ought to do or rather do, rather than claiming “I AM” doing this!

Example: You want to go to Paris. Reading brochures, studying French, learning current currency rates, having your passport made, is all about processing your intended trip.  Buying the plane ticket is  “progressing” because you’ve moved out of your fact finding “processing” to ACT!
Your ACTION sets your trip in motion. Your action makes your trip intention concrete and not just a discussion forum, an analytical educational analysis, or a hypothetical dream.

“Progressing” in life is “I AM” going to the gym (within a specified timeframe that very day).

Deciding which gym is the best, what exercise do I need to focus on, how many days should I exercise, which tennis shoes do I wear, are all active choice making ingredients borne within your journey’s progression.  While living and doing activities, various participation choices, on the spot decision making, fact gathering, assessments and evaluative dialog is progressing, because you make the choice and act on it immediately.

Learning by doing is progressing. Processing includes studying, assessing and following thru on your cumulative fact findings derived from your ‘IF” or “When” hypothetical while you are experiencing.

Progressing includes using “when” or “if” as a research tool to understand how to accomplish or maximize what you ARE currently doing.

You won’t flourish with a new life if you just nourish your dreams with abstract thinking, analytical “what if’s” and “when I” planning.  Actions make your thoughts progressing realities.  Even if you choose a wrong “action” you are progressing with the “learning opportunity” you created from your choice.

Processing and hollow intentions keeps your life in remission.  Processing is participatory practice of intention at the highest level. You’re always the understudy learning and planning how to act the part, but never being on the stage of life.  You are the perpetual understudy, not the actor.  Progressing is living action; evolving, expanding and learning no matter where each choice or experience in your life’s journey takes you!  Life is what you choose to do breath by breath. Be all you are and can be, not one iota less.
