32. "Learn How To Reverse Engineer Your Life & Set Yourself Up For A Successful 2020"

Deep Thoughts W/The Dixons

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Today's podcast is jam packed with VALUE. Both Nina and Brian, this previous weekend with a lot of thought and dedication, "reverse engineered their life and goals." What is Reverse Engineering? This means you will look at the end result, such as your goals and then figure out how you will get there. What you will do is work from that end result backwards until you make it to where you are currently at. Highly realized people learn to think and feel from the end. That is, they experience what they wish to intend before it shows up in material form in their life.

On a basic energetic level, when we want something it all begins with a desire. It begins with liking or admiring something. Over long periods of time it turns into "want", "need," "don't have it yet," etc. The latter is negative energy and blocks your path to achieving or having whatever it is you desire. The universe continuously keeps in a state of "not having it" because that it what you are putting out and saying. All you have to do is stay in the desire, the admiration, the liking phase of something and take calculative, educated, informed ACTIONS towards it. Then it will materialize.

Nina's Tip: When thinking of your goals or attaining something you want, keep it light and airy. Think of it as a crush on someone. When you have a crush on someone you aren't negative, you aren't thinking about the future or the details of if, when or how you will ever be with that person. You just love, and bask in the moment and smile whenever that person is around, or when you think of that person. You are happy, airy and lighthearted about it. That is exactly how you should be when thinking about goals or things you want. Don't let the passage of time, make you bitter, or make you doubt or worst make you realize the goal hasn't been attained or you don't have that shiny new car yet. Instead continue to have a "crush" on your goals/desires AND take methodical, educated ACTION towards them.

Step By Step Reverse Engineering Your Life/Goals: After you heed the advice above take the following steps

1. Pick 5 goals. Think about this before you choose. Ideally you want to pick the top 5 that you ABSOLUTELY want to achieve in 2020 Start at the end. What do you want out of life.
2. Work backwards filling in the previous step. Now you will see the natural path. You will see whether or not your current actions/decisions/beliefs are aligned with your end goal.
3. Keep going with step 3 for each goal till you are at present day Go back and add key points/methods to each step. Be clear and detailed.
4. Make adjustments as needed throughout the year. Think of this as a live, living document that you adjust, tweek and change as you follow

Nina's Tips:

1. Be prepared to take ACTION
2. Be ready, willing and able to CHANGE
3. Stay committed and dedicated to this journey
4. Become obsessed with bettering your life Stick to this PLAN!
