 Change Your Mind,
Change Your World By Anna and Philip Bradbury
This self-study personal development course will help you undo
your
conditioning, anger, depression, regret and guilt. With those out of the
way, you're taken forward to realising why previous diets and other
plans/goals have not worked (breakdowns and breakthroughs) and how you
can make all future goals effectively take you to where you want to go.
You may have forgotten what you're here for and how much of a
difference you've already made. This course will remind you of that and
it will give you specific skills for turning stumbling blocks into
stepping stones and for making a bigger difference in your world. And
why the name - Change Your Life ... Change Your World? Simply that we
take the example of great people over the centuries who started small
within their own minds, released their unhealthy thinking - about
themselves and the world - and then went on to make a big difference in
the world ... a difference that has been and will be applauded for
centuries. This is what we wish for you. In every one of the
course's 12 weeks, another chapter of your life unravels itself as you
do your daily statement, daily journal, weekly reading and weekly
exercises. Even if you tell no one you're doing the course, they'll
notice that you've become more peaceful, energetic and self-directed ...
and they'll wonder how!

Excerpts from Change Your Mind, Change Your World by Anna & Philip Bradbury ...
This course is about changing your world.
When you recognise the distinction between THE world and YOUR world is when you're ready for a bout of drastic and fulfilling change. For, until you recognise that THE world is not YOUR world, you're unlikely to get out of whatever it is that feels uncomfortable - relationship(s), job(s), city, house, illness - and into something more comfortable and uplifting.
Let us explain it this way:
The world has known so many amazing people but, despite all of them, it's still a mess …
* despite the great power of Jesus and Buddha ...
* despite great physicists like Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking …
* despite the great compassion of Florence Nightingale and Mother Theresa …
* despite great politicians like Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill …
* despite great writers like Marian Williamson and Richard Bach …
* despite great leaders like Mahatma Gandhi and Nelson Mandela …
* despite great musicians like Ludwig van Beethoven and Elton John …
* despite great artists like Michaelangelo and Picasso …
* despite great business leaders like Anita Roddick and Warren Buffett ...
* despite great philosophers like Plato and Rudolph Steiner ...
* despite great philanthropists like Dale Carnegie and Bill Gates ...
… despite great … well, great anything you can name, we still have wars, bitterness, sadness, illness and all the unpleasantness that has ever been.
You cannot change that crazy, chaotic world but you can change your own world and that of those you choose to connect with.
That you cannot change the world should not depress you. That simple truth should free you from having to solve all the problems of the world. Start small, like all great people. |
Start in a small space - where you are right now
When Martin Luther King Jnr started his mission, he had no intention of reforming the race relations problem in America. Initially, he saw that his people were abused and frightened and so he resolved, in his little church with his little congregation, to help them to feel safe for half a day a week. That was all he could hope to do, he felt. So, on Sunday afternoons, he attempted to create a safe space for the few black people in his congregation - a safe space physically in the church and, by talking to them, to create for them a sense of empowerment within and a sense of hope for the future. By concentrating his love and energy into that small group, his reputation grew and more and more came. He was soon being asked to talk in other churches and, by and by, he was talking to the whole nation … by starting small.
Mother Theresa had no intention, at the start, of becoming world famous. She started by concentrating her love and energy on one small block of that massive city of Calcutta. By doing such an impressive job in that small space, more and more requests came. She started recruiting more nuns and training more volunteers and so her mission grew. Then, by popular demand, as they say, she was asked to set up more missions in different places and, eventually she was talking at the United Nations and has become a household name and will be remembered for centuries … by starting small.
Just take the first step. You don't need to see the whole staircase. Just take the first step. ~ Martin Luther King Jnr.
Both of them started small and finished big - that's what we want for you. |
Week Two
Daily Statement - My mind is still, peaceful and at one with the universe.
Our minds are full of chatter, full of thoughts, and it can be difficult to get them to stop for a little peace of no-mind. It is possible to have our racing mind still itself and it can take time to achieve that. However, a way to start is for you to direct your thoughts to where you want them to be, rather than have them in control. So, if the mind must think of something, have it focus on peace and stillness - the more you do this, the more you will have peace and stillness.
Week's Theme/Exercise - Talk Talk In Your Head Head … Mind Over Natter
To put the world right in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must first cultivate our personal life; we must first set our hearts right. ~ Confucius
Having done the first week's exercises, you may have entered observations in your journal, like:
… this stuff seems so pointless, why should I bother?
… I feel quite silly doing this, is it worth it?
… I could be out there doing much more useful things with my time than these silly exercises.
On and on your mind may be chattering at you, giving you all sorts of reasons not to make a change in your life … and they're such logical reasons too! The Buddhists call this the monkey mind, imagining it as a mischievous monkey or a naughty child . You are the parent and you have the means to take back your power ...
