7 STEPS TO FREEDOM !
I wonder why it always seems to be seven. Not having the answer but writing seven anyway, may seem a little odd, however very open for your personal feedback and comments.

1. Stop wearing a watch- letting go of clock time (CT)
2. Stop buying and reading newspapers
3. Let go of the goggle box (No more T.V addiction) 4. Turn off the radio/TV or any other form of media at news bulletins 5. Let go of “high maintenance” relationships (ones that drain your energy)
6. Being watchful and selective of your language 7. Letting go of attachment to past and future

From personal experience I can say with complete truth and honesty, I have applied all of these 7 steps into my life with outstanding results. Having freedom of mind and thoughts allows your personal awareness, intuition, life force and energy to flow. With regular practice a new world is waiting for you.

I’m a huge fan of Ted.com, which shares ‘riveting talks by remarkable people, free to the world’. One of my favourite talks on the site is called ‘The 3 A’s of Awesome’ by Neil Pasricha, author of the book ‘The Book of Awesome’ and 1000awesomethings.com.

In the video, Neil recounts some of the challenges he’s experienced, how they affected him and how he used them to change his life. He highlights 3 main things (beginning with ‘A’) that helped him turn his life around: Attitude, Awareness & Authenticity.
