Got a Dilemma?

Positive Thinking Tip: Keep it Simple – and Trust the Process

Got a dilemma? What if you had absolute confidence, knowing exactly what to do next?

The hardest work you’ll ever do takes place inside your own mind. It’s the hardest work in the world, and most people will do anything they can to avoid it.

But when you know how to get your mind in a ready-state for inspired ideas, then you more easily recognize them when they come, and you learn to trust them to help you find the shortest distance between your dilemma and its resolution.

This is a very simple process, but it can be tough to do because it requires mental discipline.

How To Do It

  1. Picture what you want – see the outcome as though it has already happened. Literally take the time to put the image(s) on the screen of your mind and hold them there until you can…
  2. Create the emotional experience – allow yourself to answer the question, “how would it actually FEEL to have this dilemma solved?”
  3. Get to work solving the problem to the best of your ability, trusting that you are being guided by your higher power to achieve the success you envisioned.
  4. Never allow yourself to think for longer than a split second, “I’m not sure if this is actually working…”  You must CHOOSE to believe until the goal is achieved.  Believe that there is unseen help orchestrating all things necessary for your success.  As long as you believe it’s there and working for your good, you’ll qualify for the help.

Most people get stuck because they do step 1 and 2, but fail to do step 3 long enough because they allow doubt or discouragement to take over.

A lot of people get stuck because they fail to take step 1 and 2 seriously enough.  It requires a space – a positive environment and time to do the mental work.

That’s what we give you at Genius Bootcamp: the environment, the guidance, the time, and the space to do the work.

Do I make people do push-ups and bark at them if they don’t do them fast enough?

Well, I know, I do seem like the type of person to run things that way, don’t I? LOL

No, but the fact is, as Bertrand Russell put it, “Most people would rather die than think; [in fact], many do.”

Or as Henry Ford stated, “Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is… why so few engage in it.”

Wallace Wattles said, “There is no labor which most people shrink as they do from that of sustained and consecutive thought.”

So, what happens at a Genius Bootcamp?

You THINK – and you think a LOT.

From this thinking in a certain way – which I coach you through, in a relatively small group setting – you will discover genius ideas.

In fact, while you’re at my bootcamp, you’ll wish you were doing push-ups instead!

But you’ll be glad you came. You’ll thank me for putting your brain to work like this, and you’ll take with you a skill that you’ll be able to use time and time again throughout your life.

Did you know?

There are people on the planet who are paid to just sit and think – and they are paid well for it – because they have learned how to tap into genius ideas, in the same way that I’ll show you how to find (and trust) the solutions to your own dilemmas.

Remember, the solution to every problem is only an idea away.

However, so often we remain stuck because we can’t seem to think of that one brilliant idea that tries to get our attention, oh so quietly.

When you go to a Genius Bootcamp, you MUST bring with you at least one perplexing dilemma. That’s the only pre-requisite.

Got a dilemma?

Perfect. That’s all you need to bring!

The next TEN people to sign up will save a whopping 80% off the regular ticket price!

The Bootcamp wakes you up and helps you see your dilemma from a whole new perspective… and from that ten-thousand-foot level, you begin to recognize your hidden resources, and just how to arrange them for your ultimate victory.

Victory is won in those single, shining moments when you make a quality decision in the face of apparent disaster.

This 2-day event will give you the environment, the information, the mental exercises, strategies, battle plans, and support to claim your victory NOW and return with extraordinary confidence to the battle field of Life where your decided win can play out.

Based on the principles contained in the Jackrabbit Factor sequel, Portal to Genius, The Genius Bootcampwill help you tap into those sparks of ideas that have the power to transform your life forever.

Join me for my 2-day Genius Bootcamp for an experience you’ll never forget with do-it-now, get it done application of the principles of success.

You’re on the front lines of an all-out war against mediocrity and it’s time to toughen you up for victory!

Poor Little Genius

What is a “Poor Little Genius”?

A poor little genius is someone who has a wealth of talent hidden inside of them, but who remains poor because they haven’t learned how to find and develop those God-given gifts.

No matter how financially stuck people may feel, everyone is born with the capability of having “genius” ideas.

For example, consider the woman from the midwest who was frustrated with all the tumbleweeds blowing through her back yard which were getting stuck in the fences.

As a joke, she put them up for sale on the internet, and now she runs a business selling tumbleweeds to high-end designers and movie producers.

She probably didn’t recognize her idea as “genius”, but it was.

She was simply responding creatively to an annoyance in her life.

So as long as you have annoyances, disappointments, challenges, or setbacks, you have all the right ingredients for a genius idea.

Your genius ideas are right there, floating on the surface of your consciousness, and like that woman, you might not even realize that the subtle idea trying to get YOUR attention could end up opening huge doors for you.

Years ago, when my husband and I were brainstorming on how to recover from a financial setback of our own, one idea came along, but implementing it was going to create a new problem.  As we worked to overcome that problem, his idea turned into tens of thousands of dollars in new income within just a couple months.

This idea-generating skill is a skill that can be learned, which is why I’ve been working really hard to create new tools and programs that will help YOU identify and develop the genius ideas that are inside of you.

Don’t be a poor little genius!

Ready for some FUN?

Say “poor little genius” ten times fast

…and you probably ended up saying the name of my latest book.  Keep reading and I’ll tell you about it.  Here it is, along with a few of the other new “Genius” tools and events I’ve created:

Jackrabbit Whisperer

What is a Jackrabbit Whisperer?

Kirk Duncan

On October 9, 2010, Kirk Duncan was named the first “Jackrabbit Whisperer” in history.  We created the title several years ago, and he was the first to completely qualify.

Congratulations, Kirk!

We can’t stop talking about you!  I am thrilled to introduce my readers to you and what you do.

At the time of receiving his award (something he did not expect), he was given a blue velvet case and silver box with inscription, and a brand-new 2011 silver coin with a jackrabbit image and the words “Year of the Rabbit” inscribed at the bottom.

What is this all about?

Learn more about Kirk and the different Mentor distinctions at the ThoughtsAlive Mentor Directory.  But here is a general overview:

Honorary Mentors have programs and services that come highly recommended because the founders of Thoughts Alive have personally benefited from what they do.  These individuals have demonstrated that they ascribe to the principles contained in The Jackrabbit Factor.

Official ThoughtsAlive Mentors have Graduated with Honors from the Family Time & Money Freedom Course and have gone through Mentor Training by our company to help you achieve your goals with the principles we teach and their own unique approach.

Jackrabbit Whisperer – the highest of all honors within the Thoughts Alive community, reserved for individuals of exemplary reputation for striving for excellence in personal, business and family life. Jackrabbit Whisperers are not necessarily perfect, but they have a track record of solving significant problems in the pursuit of “rabbits”, and are down-to-earth & personable no matter how successful they become. Their strong leadership is a natural byproduct of the selfless service they render to people at every level. While this distinction may be deserved by many, these are individuals with whom we have been permitted to develop a close and personal relationship, such that we can confidently and personally attest to their worthiness of this title.

What about Energy Healing?

Push the button from Staples office supply and it says, "THAT was easy!" Read below to find out why I picked this picture for this article.

Let me tell you a little story:

A few years ago my husband and I hit a block wall in our progress – not only in our business but also in our relationship, too.  It felt like we were rapidly losing the ground we had worked so hard for many, many years to gain.  With all the financial setbacks we were facing, our relationship was under tremendous strain.  Ultimately we realized that if we were going to make it through that storm, we were going to need to swallow our pride and get some help.

All the positive thinking we could muster wasn’t enough to thwart the conflict that was building between us. So we called a friend of ours who happened to be a marriage therapist and asked for his help.  I was angry with my husband for certain things; he was angry at me for other things, and it was affecting our family, our business, our emotional well-being and our physical health.

During our first session, we were able to get some of the issues out into the air, and we were also given a plan, or a strategy for fixing the problem.  We could see that if we were serious about making the right changes, we’d have to commit to staying focused on it for the long haul.  We could see a long, and difficult road before us – one that we were willing to take if that’s what was necessary to save our marriage.

Only a few days later, a woman named Carolyn Cooper and her husband came to town on business.  Some of my students had raved to me about her work, so I was excited that she and her husband were willing to go to lunch with Trevan and me while they were in town.  I was curious, because she seemed to have a way with using the principles I already believed in to help other people make progress with lightning speed.

After a yummy lunch we invited her to our home. She shared stories about her work and helped me understand better what it is she does, and why it works so fast.  She demonstrated the process for us, showing us how the emotional traumas from our childhood (and adulthood) get tucked away and can prevent us from experiencing the success we’re working so hard to attain.  She showed us how those blocks can be removed quickly and painlessly, and in such a way that you don’t even have to talk about or bring up the junk you’d like to leave behind.

Carolyn and I come from similar backgrounds, so it was nice to learn about her work (formerly called “Calyco”, now called “SimplyHealed®”) from a point of view that did not conflict with my personal beliefs.  I’ve been exposed to a number of “energy healing” modalities but none have felt as clean and simple as SimplyHealed®.  I have been impressed with the “tapping” method, for example, but Carolyn’s method is much, much quicker.

Now, I have to be honest, as she demonstrated her work, I could hardly tell if anything was happening.  She worked on me and my husband, and then did a little bit for each of our children, even though most of them weren’t even there.  What got my attention, though, and the reason I ultimately signed up to take her class to learn how to do what she does, is because of what happened after she left.

After she left, and my children started to come home from their various activities and began to interact with each other, Trevan and I noticed something astounding.  The kids who were typically the most explosive with each other were treating each other with love and respect.  They were patient with one another, and the peace in our home was almost tangible.

The next day was a special meeting at our church where members of the congregation are invited each month to stand and express their feelings about God.  On occasion, I’ve seen my children struggle with fear – wanting to express themselves, but terrified to stand and share their feelings in front of the hundreds of people – so I’ve often praised them for their desire, but encouraged them to just share their feelings at home with the family, or in the smaller, children’s meeting later in the day.

Well, on that Sunday, my oldest teenager stood and walked to the front to express his feelings of love and appreciation for his relationship with God.  That wasn’t a big surprise because it is something he has done often.  What surprised us was when his younger teenage brother stood and expressed his feelings, too.  I’m not sure I had ever seen son #2 do that.  Then went his sister… and his other brother, and his other sister… until nearly every one of our children, (even the five year old), stood independently in front of the hundreds in the congregation to express the love that they felt inside.

My husband and I looked at each other in awe.  We were certain that the congregation just assumed that we had had a family night lesson at home challenging them each to have the courage to stand that day, but, no.  In fact, we had discouraged it and they did it anyway.

Now, back to us.  Later that week was our follow-up appointment with the marriage therapist.  The hour came and we had to let him know that we weren’t going to need the appointments any more.  The grudges and issues that had been paralyzing us were gone, and even years later, the effects of Carolyn’s work that day have remained in effect.

Our business has grown, our relationship has deepened, and our children have thrived… and I thank God for bringing us SimplyHealed® at the right time and preparing the way that we might be open to it.

Since that day, I have traveled to her hometown to attend her trainings, and I’ve been back for a refresher.  I love what she does and I’ve seen it facilitate incredible transformations in people who are just plain tired of being stuck.

With her permission, I’d like to reprint one of her articles below to help you understand more about SimplyHealed®:

Energy Healing – Dispelling the Myths

by Carolyn Lyman Cooper

What is Energy Healing?

As you may already know, our spirits are housed in a body complete with a digestive, skeletal, muscular, circulatory system and several others… but what is not so commonly known is that our body also comes equipped with numerous energy systems that help our body systems do their job.  (Energy systems are not to be confused with our spirit.  Our spirit can operate at its best when our body systems and energy systems are at their best.)

Sometimes disturbances in our energy systems (often resulting from physical or emotional trauma) can wreak havoc in our body systems.  Traditional medicine addresses the symptoms that show up in the body systems, while energy healing focuses on the root energetic causes of those physical symptoms.  Remove the energetic blocks that prevent the body from healing naturally as it was designed to do, and often physical and emotional healing occurs quickly and permanently.

Keeping it Pure and Aligned with Godly Principles

I’ve studied and practiced various energy healing modalities for more than 14 years and have seen a pressing need to extract the purest, most gospel-aligned practices from the energy-healing industry and add other techniques that are best understood and appreciated by people who believe in God and desire to live according to sound principles.

Formerly called Calyco Healing (derived from an acronym of my name: Carolyn Lyman Cooper), and now called SimplyHealed®, here you’ll find a safe environment for learning more about this God-given tool to help you cope and even thrive during difficult times.  There is much to do; anything that’s in the way of accomplishing what you’re here on earth to do CAN be removed.  I’ll show you how.

It Does Not Replace Prayer

This process does not replace prayer, (nor any other sacred practice,) just as a visit to a regular doctor does not replace prayer.  Often, a visit to the doctor can be effective without a prayer, while sometimes prayer is enough without a trip to the doctor.  Sometimes prayer combined with a trip to the doctor is the right combination in that situation.

When all other options have been called upon and something else is still needed, energy healing is often the answer.  Sometimes by itself, and sometimes in connection with these other tools, miracles are experienced and lives are changed forever.

If you have felt drawn to this information, I invite you to explore it completely and discover the answers you’ve been searching for.

I’m not a “Healer”, However…

Now, just to get something straight… I’m not a healer; I’m just the “cleaning lady” who helps identify and then quickly and painlessly clears the energetic blocks that have been keeping you from reaching your highest potential, physically, emotionally, even spiritually.  Your spirit and body will naturally know what to do from there.  The process is simple, clean, pure, and effective.

  • Do you have a physical ailment that has not responded to other techniques?
  • Do you have emotional challenges that seem impossible to shake?
  • Do you have a hunger to improve the conditions of difficult relationships?
  • Do you feel blocked, every time you try to improve your financial condition?

This life-experience is full of difficulties, setbacks, traumas, and heartaches.  Each “negative” experience we face has the potential to get stuck in one or more of our body’s energy systems.  Learning how to release the blocks gives you the power to move forward confidently and unhindered to become all you were meant to be, and do all you were sent here to do.  Truly, it’s freedom at its best.

You and Your Family Tree

Interestingly enough, if we do not clear these blocks during our earth life, they can remain stored and even get passed on to future generations in the same way that physical traits can be passed down.

That means you may have inherited issues from your ancestors that you may not even be aware of.

Sometimes these inherited issues show up as phobias – irrational fears that don’t make logical sense. Sometimes they show up as false beliefs that keep you in bondage – feeling unworthy to have an abundance of money, for example.  You may be doing all the right things to improve your conditions, but something inside of you keeps sabotaging the process.

Since the blocks are stored energetically and not physically (although they can, in time, create physical problems), removing the block in you somehow gets quietly announced through time and space, and removes the block for your relatives who also inherited the trait.

It’s like pushing the “unlock” button on your automobile keychain from inside the house, and having not just the driver’s door unlock, but having all FOUR doors on your car unlock at the same time.

(Just pushing the button may not result in four open doors, but at least they are all unlocked, ready to be opened when the passenger is ready.)

Now, when you do this work to remove blocks in your own energy system, it also keeps the blocks from being passed on to your progenitors.  In fact, if the issue came from an ancestor in the first place, doing the work helps clear the blocks for those ancestors who passed on with unresolved issues.  It clears things that may be preventing them from making the progress they want to be making on the other side.

Energetic Blocks Hinder the Spirit, Cannot be Cleared Without a Body

If you think it’s hard to let go of a grudge here and now, I predict that it will be infinitely harder to do it after you die.  I believe you’ll carry into the spirit world all the attitudes, addictions, grudges, and so forth that aren’t released while you’re here.    Plus, your posterity can inherit those attitudes and tendencies in the same way they inherit the color of your eyes.

With SimplyHealed®, releasing these negative feelings can be achieved more quickly and easily than any other method I know.

How does it work?  I’ll admit I don’t understand all the workings of it, just like I don’t understand how a cell phone works.  You don’t have to understand it completely to utilize it effectively.  In many ways it is the power of the atonement in action.  It requires faith.  Using it has helped me increase my faith.

Just as our spirits can struggle when our bodies are unhealthy, making sure our energy systems are in optimal condition can help us more fully utilize the power of the atonement.

Energy Healing and Violation of Spiritual Laws

When we violate a moral law (like stealing), our energy system is adversely affected.  The good news is that even the effects of immoral behavior can be addressed with energy healing.  Energy healing does not undo the violation itself, because that’s something that will always be between the person and God; but it can clear the blocks preventing the person from believing that God can (and is willing to) forgive.  It can expose lies that the dark side has planted, and pull those lies out so that the truth can be more readily recognized and embraced.

Energy Healing can be Quick and Easy

Some energetic blocks can be removed in as little as ten seconds.  Done!  (Have you ever seen those red buttons you can get from Staples Office Supply?  I put one in my office – whenever someone removes a block, we hit the button and it says, “THAT was Easy!”)

Energy Healing can Happen Long Distance

This kind of healing (removing blocks) can take place while a client is in my office, or it can happen just as effectively over the phone… like using a remote control.

Energy Healing can Help you Live More Completely

There is a natural order for being able to receive and live all the principles we are here to learn.  “Line upon line,” as they say.  Sometimes financial pressures or emotional heartaches prevent a person from moving forward, as they so desperately want to do.

Sometimes physical challenges keep a person so entrapped that it’s seemingly impossible to perform the tasks they’ve been given.  Many people are too all consumed with life’s barnacles that they have no place in their heart or mind to discover and embrace true principles and ultimately accomplish ALL things they are here on earth to do.

SimplyHealed® helps prepare the way for God’s work to be done in people’s lives, meeting them right where they’re at and helping them find their way to the next level.

But now, I need your help…

After 16 years of holding thousands of appointments and witnessing years and years of success stories, I feel compelled to set aside my practice and instead focus on teaching others how to do this for themselves, their families, and even people in their communities.  In the long run, doing so will affect the lives of more people than I would ever have the time to work with personally.  It’s my dream to have a facilitator in every family!

Imagine it; we’re talking about healing the past, and being “prepared” for possible difficult times in a very powerful way!  An investment in your knowledge will always reap the greatest benefits.  You have within you the ability to discover and learn intuitive skills for healing!

Having the faith to heal is one of the God-given gifts of the Spirit, and we’ve been invited to seek to develop all of them.  Let me teach you step-by-step how to become a partner with the angels in bringing relief to yourself and others.  Let’s work together to clear energetic blocks and let the transformation begin!

Learn more, join my newsletter, or register for my next event, whether it is a teleseminar, online, or in-person training at www.CarolynCooper.com. If you want to join me for my next class, do it quickly before the class fills up and I have to close registration.  (I keep the classes small so that each participant who wants to, has an opportunity to take part in the energy healing demonstrations.)
