Shooting for your dreams!
How do you know when it’s okay to shoot for your dream? I didn’t want to miss this opportunity to talk to you about shooting for your dreams and when is it okay to say, “Screw it. I’m just going to go for it.”
Well, I want to tell you that every time in your life that you have come across something that was a little hard, there are two things that you can do.
You can either push through it, or you can take a step back into comfort and safety. Most people, the majority of people actually, do step back into the safety zone because they’re just not exactly sure if they can get through the hard stuff and accomplish their dream.
They don’t know how, and not being able to know, or not knowing and not having faith that the ‘how’ will somehow present itself, usually prevents people from taking that step into their dream life. Isn’t that sad?
Many people will actually go to their grave wondering about what would it have been like if they would have just taken the chance and made a decision and said YES I’m going to start shooting for my dreams.
Watch the following video where I discuss how you can start shooting for your dreams!
Shooting For Your Dreams By Letting Go Of The Past
I wanted to share this message with you today, because if we take our mind back to childhood, every time that you encountered something that you needed to do, that kind of was scary we would often back out.
I’ll give you an example: For me, one time when I was, I don’t know, about nine or 10, something like that, I was in a school musical and I had a solo. I guess the teacher thought I was good enough to have a solo act, but somewhere along the way, I got way too shy. If you know my story, you know that I grew up extremely shy, and I still am shy, believe it or not.
But I was so shy and so afraid that on the night of the performance, I chickened out. I let the terror barrier get to me, and I allowed my fear to fully overtake what I knew I wanted to do. But I was just so afraid of standing up in front of everybody, I got in my head that they were going to laugh at me, or I was going to mess up on the keys.
Somewhere in there, I got it in my head that I wasn’t good enough to do that solo act.
You know, when I look at my children and my grandchildren now and I just think, “Oh, my gosh. I don’t ever want them to feel that way.” I just don’t. I don’t want any of my friends or family, I don’t want anybody to feel that way. But it’s so normal, it’s so normal, and I felt so bad about that act because I felt guilty for so long after that because I knew. I knew that I shouldn’t have let people down.
It was terrible, but I allowed my fear to push me back into not taking a chance of doing a solo act.
A few years later, I had a chance to do something kind of similar in my mind where I know now that I was approaching the terror barrier. I didn’t know then, but I know that, and it was, believe it or not, diving off a 20-foot diving board. In my mind, because I had reconciled with my guilt over not performing in the solo act, I was, like, “You know what? I’m not going to back down because I know how bad I felt when I did back down, so I’m going to barrel through, and I’m just going to do it,” and I did it. I did it.
I dove off. It wasn’t very pretty, but I did it. A lot of people were walking up to the diving board because it was … 20 feet is pretty darn high, and it was very high. Very, very high. We were actually in an Olympic pool, and so, maybe it was even higher than that. I don’t know measurements too well.
But, anyway, so I did it, and so many people were going up, and I felt so good. I also felt like, you know what, I kind of felt better about leaving my classmates in a rut, or in a bind, because I didn’t do what I said I was going to do. I think that kind of shaped my life, too, because I think that I realized that when I have the chance to do something good and to do that solo act and just, you know, she chose me out of everybody.
When I didn’t do it, I think it kind of formed me into realizing that that’s not the kind of person that I want to be.
But, anyway, what does that have to do with shooting for your dreams?
Well it has everything to do with dreams because a lot of times, when we’re faced with a decision or a new life circumstance, or anything like that, a terror can grip us and kind of say, “You know what? I don’t know if I can push through this. I don’t know how to push through this. I have no idea how to get past this, and I don’t know if I want whatever dream it is,” whether it’s running a marathon or owning your own company, whatever your dream is.
But being able to say to yourself and understand that, you know what? You’ve got what it takes. Whatever it is, you do have what it takes to push through your own fear, and get to the other side. Imagine the freedom that exists in your mind and in your body, every part of you. When you push through it.
When you get to the other side, though, you have complete freedom and that, my friend will allow you then, to go on and do other things. So I want to encourage you it doesn’t matter what your dream is. I just want you to know that you can do it. You can.
You do have the ability to start shooting for your dreams!
If you have fear, that’s normal. If you have angst about it, it’s normal. But when you decide that you’re going to do it, whatever it is, you will. So whatever your dream is, just know you can accomplish anything you want to. Know that. I know that about you.
Again, I want you to please start shooting for your dreams because if you don’t, you’ll get to the end of your life and you’ll say, “What if I had?” And trust me, you don’t want to be there. You don’t want to say that so just remember….
You are awesome. You are amazing. You are beautiful. I know that, and I want you to know that about you too!
To YOUR Success,

Children’s Mindset Training – Day 19
Hello everyone, well I have much to share with you today because it’s day 19 of the children’s mindset training.
It’s Friday as I’m writing this, but in this house we do not stop unless we have to, especially for the children’s mindset training because it’s an everyday thing.
We are talking to my grandchildren who I’ve had custody of them since … Wow, two and three. They were two and three, and now they are eight and nine so it’s been a while now and recently I’ve been working with them on children’s mindset training. This is completely unrehearsed what we’re going to talk about today because I didn’t want them to say anything in particular, I want it to come completely from them and what they have learned.
So tune in to the following video to hear how much the kids have learned throughout this children’s mindset training.
Children’s Mindset Training Came From Thinking Into Results!
I have been exposed to a program about mindset training and it’s called ‘Thinking into Results’ by Bob Proctor. Somewhere along the way, I realized that this is actually the kind of stuff that should be taught in schools and could be taught to children too. I wish that they were taught in schools but unfortunately they are not but in saying that I have seen some mindfulness taught.
I started having some issues with the children and I’m going to let them talk a little bit about it more, but I realized that maybe I was learning about the mindset and how to shift things, how your mind actually works, that maybe it would be good for the kids to get involved in this so I started my own children’s mindset training.
We started it and at the very beginning I don’t think they were very thrilled about it, but I will say now that it’s a little different, as a matter of fact I’m going to invite them up here to join me and then maybe we can have some conversations with them because I want them to just answer what they’re going through.
I did ask them to speak them clearly that’s about the only thing that I asked them to do. We’re just going to see what they have to say. First of we’ll have Amerin. (remember this is unrehearsed)
Dianna: Come on this right here. Look, there’s the camera, okay? How old are you?
Amerin: Eight.
Dianna: You’re eight. You’re a cutie huh.
Amerin: I don’t know.
Dianna: Okay so look, let me ask you a question. What was your behavior like before we started the training? The children’s mindset training. Speak clearly ok?
Amerin: I didn’t want to finish my work.
Dianna: Say that again.
Amerin: I didn’t want to finish my work.
Dianna: That’s the camera, so you need to speak so that they hear you right. Okay?
Amerin: I didn’t want to finish my work.
Dianna: You didn’t want to finish your work, why didn’t you want to finish to work?
Amerin: Because it’s boring.
Dianna: It’s boring for you?
Amerin: Yes.
Dianna: You’re quite brilliant aren’t you?
Amerin: Yes.
Dianna: Yes, and so he was getting over it. What was happening at school? Was I getting phone calls?
Amerin: Yes.
Dianna: And emails?
Amerin: Yes.
Dianna: And who was calling me besides your teacher?
Amerin: Principal.
Dianna: The Principal. Alright, so what was the first thing that we did when started our training?
Amerin: Starting writing.
Dianna: We started writing, okay.
Amerin: A want list.
Dianna: Okay. We wrote a want list, but what did we listen to first? Do you remember?
Amerin: I forgot the name of the guy.
Dianna: El.
Amerin: Ellen …
Amerin: Ellen Nightingale.
Dianna: Ellen Nightingale. Now, is an old recording right?
Amerin: Yes.
Dianna: A long time ago. Stop playing with your eyes and pay attention. Amerin, you wrote like two pages worth of wants yes? And then when you wrote your want list, what did Ellen Nightingale teach us in his recording about the difference between successful people or people who accomplish all their goals? Let me ask you this, how many people in the world … Out of a 100 people how many people actually know what they want in life? Out of a 100 people.
Amerin: Five.
Dianna: Five. That was kind of an eye opener wasn’t it? Because it was kind of like “Oh, my Gosh, only five people out of a 100 really can articulate what they want.” You’re distracting the viewers.
Amerin: Oh okay.
Dianna: Let’s just stay on topic okay? Alright, what we did was we did the want list, and then from the want list he chose one goal, then from there he chose an affirmation. Tell me when do you repeat the affirmation.
Amerin: The affirmation?
Dianna: Mm-hmm (affirmative)-
Amerin: Day, night and morning.
Dianna: Day, night and morning. When else? What is your affirmation, do you mind telling people?
Amerin: Many.
Dianna: The one about what you say in school.
Amerin: I will be happy and grateful now that I listen.
Dianna: Okay, so his affirmation is I’m so happy and grateful now that I listen. Now, what has that done for you?
Amerin: A lot of things.
Dianna: Yeah, tell us.
Amerin: I get….
Dianna: Please speak clearly
Amerin: I’m better in school.
Dianna: You’re better in school?
Amerin: Yeah I can listen more and I can …
Dianna: I didn’t understand that. That’s not clear
Amerin: I listen more.
Dianna: You listen more. Okay, why do you think that is Amerin?
Amerin: I am happy and grateful now that I listen.
Dianna: Since you’ve been saying your affirmation. What do you think is happening in your brain?
Amerin: It’s planted, the seed is planting.
Dianna: The seed is planted?
Amerin: Yes.
Dianna: What happens when you plan a seed in your brain?
Amerin: It grows.
Dianna: It grows? So that allows you to be thinking about you’re happy and grateful now that you listen. Is that how that works?
Amerin: Yes.
Dianna: Do you think that’s affected your behavior?
Amerin: Mm-hmm (affirmative)-
Dianna: Yeah, I would agree. I’ve not gotten any phone calls. No notes, nothing for two weeks. At the point when we started this, I was getting phone calls not only from the teacher and the principal, but I was getting phone calls from the lunch lady. From the lunch lady, because he was just doing things he shouldn’t have. Congratulations. Do you want to tell people what your goal is or you want to just stick with your affirmation?
Amerin: Goal.
Dianna: You want to tell people what your goal is? Go ahead.
Amerin: My goal is to earn a computer.
Dianna: Earn a computer. Okay. Now, this is a different little subject here right, so tell me, now that your goal is to earn your computer, what have you noticed about your mindset when we’re talking about things now? What are we planning in the next couple of weeks. Spinners?
Amerin: Fidget Spinners.
Dianna: Please you speak clearly
Amerin: We are going to sell fidget spinners.
Dianna: Say that again.
Amerin: We are going to sell fidget spinners.
Dianna: We’re going to sell fidget spinners in order to earn money towards a computer.
Dianna: Because that’s your goal right?
Amerin: Yeah.
Dianna: A rule of life, you never mention anybody unless they say hi because they might not want tell people that they’re watching.
Amerin: Oh, okay.
Dianna: Well thank you so much. Let me ask you point blank. Do you like this mindset training?
Amerin: Mm-hmm (affirmative)-
Dianna: Why do you like it?
Amerin: I like how you plant the seed so you know what to do.
Dianna: So you know what to do?
Amerin: Yeah.
Dianna: It changes your behavior huh?
Amerin: Yeah.
Dianna: Hi five buddy. Alright good job. Alright Aveya, it’s your time. Come on up here please. This is Aveya and she is … How old are you?
Aveya: Nine.
Dianna: Nine. Okay, so remember she was three when I first got her and he was two, alright, and they were still on diapers.
Dianna: Anyway, so Aveya, we’ve been doing this for how many days now, 19? Alright. I would Like to ask you, what do you think is the biggest thing you’ve learnt so far?
Aveya: To be truthful.
Dianna: To be truthful? Wow. Look at you. I’m so proud of you to be able to say that. That’s awesome. We were having a little bit of trouble with that huh? But we talked about it and then we were able to figure out … what’s the rule about being behind me?
Amerin: I’m not behind you.
Dianna: Is that your affirmation?
Aveya: My affirmation is I’m so happy and grateful now that I’m truthful.
Dianna: Okay so your affirmation is I’m so happy and grateful now that I’m truthful. What has that done in your brain? What do you think that has done in your brain?
Aveya: It’s planted the truth the seed of being truthful?
Dianna: So whenever you encounter a situation now, that you might have been tempted to not tell the truth, what happens now? What happens in your brain?
Aveya: I tell you the truth.
Dianna: You tell the truth. Was it hard at the beginning? Yeah. I’m so proud of you for being honest about this. I’m just so proud of you, because that’s a big deal hunny bunny.
Aveya: That’s a big change.
Dianna: Yeah, it’s a big change. Do you want to share why your affirmation was you’re so happy and grateful that you are truthful? Do you want to share why that was your affirmation? Does it have something to do with your goal?
Aveya: Can I tell them about when I stole when I was three
Dianna: You can talk about this, yeah.
Aveya: I stole when I was three years old at a gas station when they first got us.
Amerin: And?
Dianna: You were working on some things that you just feel like were kind of deep down huh? Do you want to tell them your goal?
Aveya: My goal is I’m so happy and grateful now that I’m trusted.
Dianna: Now that I’m trusted. You see how her goal was to be trusted, because she was seeing some negative impact not being trusted. That didn’t sit well with you. When we started saying to you “I don’t believe you” that really hurt your feelings right? What happened then when you were saying we don’t believe you, you understood that by being truthful was the only way we would not be able to say that, right?
Her goal was to be trusted, so her affirmation fit right into being trusted piece. Go ahead. What we did was … I’m really proud of her for being able to it takes some brave person to be able to say things like that. Okay, look. This is what we have. We have little books and they simply are … They wrote down the want list and then they chose one goal out of that and then every night we sit down and we listen to a 12 minute audio on YouTube of Ellen Nightingale talking about the difference people who succeed and who don’t succeed and how their mindset is what the biggest difference is.
Realizing at this age that they are able to take and really grab a hold of the power of their mind, I feel like that’s an incredible gift. Do you feel like that’s a pretty big gift?
Aveya: Yeah, and when I wasn’t doing this or reading my goal, I lashed out at you.
Dianna: You did lash out at me.
Aveya: Twice.
Dianna: Twice, you did.
Aveya: This week.
Dianna: This week, and the reason is because?
Aveya: I wasn’t reading my goal card or doing my words day and night.
Dianna: Yeah, so what we learn from that is that the repetition. See, there’s only two ways to change behavior. A significant emotional event or repetitious behavior and so that’s why every night we write. Every night we listen to the study and we study what we’re learning and then we look at our goal card, we read our affirmations. Sometimes we write our affirmations and because she wasn’t doing her … She left her goal card at her dad’s house and it basically got her out of the mindset. Would you agree with that?
Aveya: Mm-hmm (affirmative)-
Dianna: Yeah, so we learned a big lesson with that. We learned a really big lesson with that. I just wanted to give you … Alright guys, come over and say goodbye.
Aveya: Thank you to all the replay viewers
Dianna: Thank you to all the live viewers if you’re here.
Amerin: Bye.
Dianna: If you know of anyone who maybe interested in Children’s Mindset Training, feel free to share this post. Feel free to subscribe to my blog and we’re going to do periodic updates here and see how things go. Let’s see if they make their goals … Because what we’re going to do is we’re going to do one goal at a time. That’s what we’re going to do. Her goal to be trusted was by …
Aveya: June 17th 2017.
Dianna: June 17. Because you have to be specific in your goal right? What we’re going to do is we’re going to keep track of that and we’re going to adjust if necessary but I have a feeling that they wrap themselves around this idea and I’m very proud of them for participating. What do you say when I say to you guys it’s time for training?
Aveya: Yes.
Amerin: All good.
Dianna: For the most part. Alright, so thank you for joining in and we totally appreciate it and …
Amerin: Thank you. Everyone is beautiful and you too are.
Dianna: That was my son now. You are awesome, you’re amazing and you’re beautiful. I know that about you and I want you to know that to.
Aveya: To know that too.
Dianna: They like that.
Amerin: Peace. It’s a good face.
You are awesome. You are amazing. You are beautiful. I know that, and I want you to know that about you too!
To YOUR Success,

Kids Mindset Training Update
Hey everyone I just wanted to give a quick update on the kids mindset training. I don’t know if you saw in one of my previous posts but we started mindset training with the children and teaching them how to change their mindset, how to do goal setting, and how to really think about what they’re doing.
I heard somebody say once that if everyone was thinking and had to think before they spoke, people wouldn’t be talking, because they were referring to the notion that not a lot of people think before they speak, and they don’t think before they do things. They don’t actually really, really think. So I wanted to teach the kids how to use their mind, and how to really start thinking, how to engage their mind in order to do some, because I think it’s a really good life skill.
Check out my following video where I talking about how the kids mindset training is going.
Kids Mindset Training has really changed their Attitude and Behaviour
So Avery and Neveah, my two grandchildren that live with me, wrote down their wants and they wrote down their goals. The update that I wanted to share with you today has a lot to do with what I’m seeing outside of their goals. I’ve been kind of blown away with what I’m seeing in their attitude and their behavior.
Their attitude and behavior, has been so much more mindful and when something happens for example, we had a meltdown last night, and I tell you, I think the meltdown came from the fact that she has been mindful, so she had some memories that came up, because I took the kids out of foster care and brought them to live with me, and she had a traumatic memory last night, and so she had some moments. It was a tough hour.
But at the end of it all, she started journaling what she was thinking and feeling, and I believe that she really was able to wrap her head around some things, and again, it’s all about this mindfulness which you can certainly add in to your kids mindset training.
She was able to wrap her head around some things and just understand, and understanding is the key to freedom. So hopefully what that means is that as she proceeds in life and she moves forward, she can realize that, ‘because I’ve been trying to teach her that what happened to you does not necessarily mean, it doesn’t have to drive your whole future, right?
I really felt compelled to share this today because the difference in their attitude and their behavior, has been remarkable.
Kids Mindset Training is a Gift Worth Giving
So think about this, think about teaching your kids mindfulness and mindset training. Think about goal setting. Think about teaching them that they can accomplish anything that they want in their life, no matter how old they are.
What a beautiful gift that is.
- Were you taught that when you were younger?
- Were you taught that?
- Your parents said all the time, you can be anything you want, but did they hold through to that promise by supporting you 100%?
I felt it was really important to show you that these kids are doing great. We are going to continue on with this and we are making some decisions. We’re making some progress.
I’m seeing some outer effects besides just the goals that have been a beautiful progress, and I’m thinking about having them do their own kids mindset challenge, because I’m thinking that with the results that I’m seeing, that they could help other kids become their best self and teach them how to stay in that practice for their lifetime. What a beautiful gift that would be.
So let me know if you’re interested in doing the same type of thing with your children or grandchildren, because I’m thinking other kids might like it too. I’m thinking other parents might like to have that. So just kind of rolling around in that thought.
Check out some of the other articles and videos on my blog if you want more information, I do a lot of mindset training. I love the mind. The mind is the most amazing thing that we have, and I want to make sure that I help people get into their best mind!
So I hope you enjoyed this update on the kids mindset training and remember…
You are awesome. You are amazing. You are beautiful. I know that, and I want you to know that about you too!
To YOUR Success,

Dreams – Can You Make Them Your Reality?
In this post I want to talk to you about dreams. Have you let go of your dreams? Have your dreams really come true? Have you moved into them or have you put them on the back burner?
These are all the questions we are going to discuss today.
We’re going to also talk about whether you have accomplished everything you set out to do?
When you were a little kid and you wanted to be a firefighter or a doctor, did you accomplish that, whatever it is? Well, I want to talk to you a little bit about dreams, and what I have found is that a lot of people let go of their dreams.
You Can Accomplish Your Dreams
I think that the ability to accomplish whatever it is we set out to do has a lot to do with our environment, a lot to do with the kind of encouragement that we either did or didn’t get growing up, and I was scrolling through my Facebook news feed yesterday, and a friend of mine, Leah, she’s actually in Paris I think right now, somewhere in France, I met her a few years ago. She’s a fabulous young lady, and she recommended this question or this book, and I’m sorry I don’t remember the name of the person that she was referring to, but I will tell you that I did write down the questions and it really caused me to stop and ask these questions for myself. They can be very powerful, so I’m going to actually ask you them.
If you were on your deathbed, and you had to answer these three questions. Imagine you’re at the end of your life, you’re at the very end of your life, okay? And these are the questions that you ask yourself. And I really want you to get into this, because the ability to answer these questions honestly is the ability to really take a look at what are you doing, and that you are on track, okay?
So what did you love? You’re on your deathbed, and you have the chance to answer these questions. The first one is what did you love? What did you love?
The second question is do you have any regrets? Do you have any regrets?
And then the third question is, if you were given one more chance at living, what would you do?
Now, spending your time sitting in these questions can really force you to say to yourself, “Am I living the way that I want to live?”
Am I living the way that I want to live? Am I following through with what I intended to do in my life?
So again, let me recap these questions real quick. What did you love? Do you have any regrets? If you were given one more chance at living, what would you do?
Now, answer them honestly and sit in them and feel this. You’re at your deathbed and you have to answer these questions.
What does it feel like? If you can examine yourself and really be truthful and honest, and take the time to do this, it really, really can be powerful. So I hope that you do take the time, feel free, and if you did accomplish your dream, more power to you.
Yay, I’m so happy for you!
But if you’re not exactly on track, spending time in this might give you a little bit of redirection, and getting that redirection, and getting the confidence to follow through with that, I think that’s fabulous.
So if you want any help with that, or if you want to discuss how do you accomplish your dreams, send me a message. I have a way, and I can help you.
Thank you so much for coming over to my blog today. Feel free to share this post and feel free to subscribe by opting in to my freebie in the sidebar and remember to starting living your dreams!
You are awesome. You are amazing. You are beautiful. I know that, and I want you to know that about you too!
To YOUR Success,

Mindset shift for children – 30 day challenge
Mindset shift for children, this is day two. And I’m going to do a questionnaire and the kids know that I’m recording them, but they don’t know what I’m going to ask them. So we’ve been discussing mindset shift and how to do goal setting and how to, and how and why this program works, and no matter what age you are.
So we’ve decided to do this 30 day challenge, the 30 day game for these guys. They’re keeping track of it. We bought notebooks today. But I want to explain a little bit of the words I used in order to help them understand this. Some of the words that I used. We talked about the subconscious and the conscious mind, and I related the subconscious mind to soil, like just land.
But I put it in a plant, and I drew it on the board, and I showed them how if their subconscious mind was like the soil, completely ready for planting in a potted plant, how whatever seed that the conscious mind puts into it, whatever seed is planted in a potted plant, it grows.
So they understand, I hope they understand that that’s … Oh, maybe I should hold the camera like this. I hope they understand that that’s why this program works. Because paying attention to whatever seed is planted in a land, you know the soil doesn’t care what you plant in there. It will grow.
Kids questionnaire
Dianna: If you plant seeds in your mind, what will it grow?
Amrin: It will grow whatever you plant.
Dianna: Right. So what could it be?
Amrin: Nightshade, but don’t plant nightshade.
Dianna: Nightshade is …
Amrin: Poison.
Dianna: Poison. So we don’t.
Amrin: Poison is bad.
Dianna: Right. So if we plant something like nightshade in the pot, it will grow. Just like if we plant poison or negative thoughts in our … in our what?
Amrin: Mind.
Dianna: In our mind. Right. So we don’t want to plant negative things in our mind, right? Is that right?
Amrin: Mm-hmm (affirmative)-
Dianna: I think I’m gonna turn around so you can stop playing with yourself. So. What have you, what do you think, what are you doing right now? What’s your goal right now? What are you doing in your notebook?
Amrin: I had to look at my notes.
Dianna: No, you’re not looking at your notes. What did you spend time today doing?
Amrin: Oh, writing my wants list.
Dianna: Your want list. Okay.
Amrin: Soon it’s going to turn into a goals list and I can only have one goal.
Dianna: Why are we working on one goal at a time? Well let’s switch to Aveya. Hold one. We’re going to switch to Aveya. Okay Aveya, so you have your own want list, right? And then, what are you going to do with that?
Ah’Vaiah: I’m gonna turn my want list into. I’m gonna take one and I’m gonna turn it into one goal.
Dianna: One goal. Okay. So what are we going to do with that goal?
Ah’Vaiah: We’re gonna look at it every day and every night. And we’re gonna imagine it. And we’re gonna read over it a bunch of times. And when we do that, we’ll get what we want.
Dianna: Do you know, do you remember why that works? I know you’ve only had two lessons, but can you tell me why the, like you said, going over it all the time, why it works?
Ah’Vaiah: Because whatever you plant in your subconscious mind goes to your conscious mind.
Dianna: Oh, you got it backwards again.
Ah’Vaiah: I can’t do that. So the conscious mind.
Dianna: What did you just say? You said I can’t do that.
Ah’Vaiah: I can.
Dianna: I can do that. So.
Amrin: You can do it. You can do it.
Dianna: You can do it. You can do it. So. Whatever you plant in your conscious mind, goes into.
Ah’Vaiah: Your subconscious mind.
Dianna: Do you know a good way to remember this? Isn’t, aren’t there some planters that are sub-terraneums? You ever hear of those? Where it’s under. So think, just think of it that way. Sub is under. So we gotta get our thoughts from our conscious into our subconscious. Think of it that way. Or a submarine. Where does a submarine go?
Ah’Vaiah: Under water.
Dianna: Underwater. So if we want to get our thoughts in, where do we put them?
Ah’Vaiah: We put them in our subconscious?
Dianna: Yeah, very good. You put them in your subconscious. Excellent. So do you know why this works? Can you tell me why this works?
Ah’Vaiah: Because whatever you put in your conscious mind, it goes down to the subconscious mind, then it plants there and grows in your conscious.
Dianna: It grows. Exactly. You are able to form
Ah’Vaiah: Form.
Dianna: Do you remember?
Ah’Vaiah: Form a plant?
Dianna: Form a plant. Not quite. We’re able to form new habits. Right? Because the more you think about it, what happens?
Ah’Vaiah: It grows.
Dianna: It grows. So that means you do it more. So last question. And I know this has been a little hard, and I really appreciate this. Tell me why these new habits and these goals, should they be positive or negative words?
Ah’Vaiah: Positive.
Dianna: Positive. Because, every seed we plant
Ah’Vaiah: Grows.
Dianna: Exactly. So if you want good seeds, if you want good thoughts, if you want good actions to grow, you’ve got to plant good words. Is that right?
Ah’Vaiah: Mm-hmm (affirmative)-
Dianna: Are you excited?
Ah’Vaiah: Yeah.
Dianna: I’m excited, too. Alright, so, say sayonara.
Amrin: Sayonara.
Dianna: Say goodnight.
Ah’Vaiah: Goodnight.
Thank you for tuning in. We’ll keep you posted and also think about doing something fun like this for your kids to encourage them to have mindset shifts too!
and remember:
You are awesome. You are amazing. You are beautiful. I know that, and I want you to know that about you too!

What are affirmations and do they work?
Will they work for you, and how do they work, and what if you only wanted a new car?
What if that’s all you wanted was a new car? I’m here to tell you that I would like to let you know that there is a reason, a scientific reason that affirmations work. I’m not going to get into the science of it because I don’t need the science to understand it and I don’t think everybody does, but I will promise you that when you do affirmations they will work for you and I’m going to tell you how minus the science stuff, okay?
No science here. Listen to my video below as I explain more…
But this is what affirmations are.
Affirmations are simply a repeated statement to yourself and they work best if you look in the mirror when you say them, but they’re a statement of something that you may want to accomplish. We’re going to use the car as an instance.
Say you want a new car and an affirmation for a new car is I’m so happy and grateful now that I have my Lexus 300 whatever, I don’t know the names. I should’ve figured that out, or my Honda Odyssey 2017. My brand new 2017 Honda Odyssey.
Now, saying that in the present tense, how this works is that when you say it in the present tense, it allows you to start planting that in your head, okay? Even if it’s not true right away, what happens is your subconscious mind does not know the truth from a lie. It just doesn’t know it, so when you’re planting these seeds of your future truth, if you will, then you will have the ability to, I’m sorry, let me just share this real quick.
You’ll have the ability to really plant these seeds and foster these thoughts. These thoughts will then start to permeate your mind.
When you have these thoughts of the new car, even if it’s not true yet, what will happen is as you’re talking and as these thoughts start, as you’re saying it especially to yourself in the mirror, that’s the best way but you don’t have to have a mirror. But when you’re saying these things any time of day, the more you see it, it will be good to have cards of whatever your affirmation is and say them repeatedly. That plants those seeds. It waters the seeds. It provides fertilization for the seeds.
That seed then gets planted in your subconscious and then what happens is every single time you say that affirmation, when an opportunity comes about you will notice that it’s an opportunity whereas it’s kind of like your eyes are open to something that you may have not have noticed before, you know?
Example of how Affirmations can work
Yesterday, I will use this as an example. I have long envisioned myself as a speaker on a stage an I’ve spoken at some events. I realized that I wanted to up-level that so I started to do a bit more affirmation from the speaking point of view.
Yesterday, there was inside this very large group, there was a comment made or a post made about this event, and as I looked at it and I noticed that the speakers were not set yet, fully set, it occurred to me because of these affirmations that I had been repeating, that maybe I should reach out and maybe I should see about increasing my visibility by asking if she needs speakers.
Now, here’s what that affirmation worked with that, because having an affirmation that is continually in the forefront of your brain helps you see windows of opportunity that may have not existed before but were probably already there that you didn’t see, I should say. You didn’t see the opportunity there before, but because it’s on your brain, these things happen more and you see them more actually. You just see them more.
When something like that happens and you say, okay, now you’re going to take the action that will help make these affirmations come true. Do you see how this works? So the affirmations are repeated statements of something that you want to accomplish.
It can be a goal. It can be just anything. Like I said, a car. I’m so happy and grateful now that I have a 2017 Honda Odyssey brand new sitting in my driveway. It’s red. It’s got leather seats, and you can envision that.
But what will happen is repeating that all the time, you will notice things that will come up that you may not, that you just didn’t see before. That’s how the affirmations work and they can be used for anything. These repeated statements, they simply put it in your mind and they prompt you to take action.
If you need more money to buy a car, then more opportunities to make money will come up and you’ll recognize them as opportunities to make money to put down towards your car. Do you see that? It’s really quite simply, phenomenal and just it really works.
Affirmations can give us Confidence!
So, I was going through my course, my confidence course and I did it from start to finish. It’s only 30 minutes in total except for when you stop to do the homework. I have to tell you I’m very, very thrilled with it. I’m very proud of it. It’s 30 minutes long and it’s great. It’s a great course. I’ve got some cleaning up to do on it a little bit but part of that is we do include affirmations in this, and affirmations to increase self-confidence.
That’s how powerful that they are. I know that they work and again, they simply drive home to you what you need to be paying attention to and it helps you take action to make those things come true. That’s how they work. So whatever it is that you want.
If you want more information, let me know. Comment below if you have any questions about affirmation work. I’d love to help you.
I’m very excited and pleased about my Confidence Course and soon it will be getting released it to the public.
Thank you so much for reading this post and I hope you have learned more about what affirmations are and how affirmations work. Comment below if you’ve used them before, if you know how to use them and if you’ve had some results. I’d love to hear about it and even share some powerful affirmations you have written too!
