Giving More, Getting More

The concept of giving more and getting more is quite alien to many, however for me, I have always thought it made complete sense. In the past though, I had always seemed to give but get nothing back in return which did actually bother me somewhat.

There appears though to have been some sort of paradigm shift in that since working on myself through the Master Key Experience now, I am giving and good things are happening in return.

Perhaps it was just that previously I had not noticed the getting as a consequence of my giving but now I certainly am.

I am noticing so many more kindnesses in others too and this is so uplifting. Over the last week or so, somebody as yet unknown has been leaving small knitted hearts on peoples’ door handles and in obvious places around the town. It making people feel happier and such a kind gesture.

The Shapes

I am seeing my shapes and colours everywhere constantly. They are constantly reminding and nudging me towards my PPN’s and my DMP. Though I am hitting a few bumps along the way, I am certainly on the way thanks to the Master Key Experience and seeing the shapes and colours is really helping.

My Makeover

This week, I am focusing on taking initiative as part of my makeover. I have come up with a number of things to take initiative on which is absolutely fantastic for both my life and my business. It feels like a shame that I have to sleep as I could carry on all day and night right now as I am buzzing with enthusiasm.

I have had a few bumps over the last week or so, most particularly around my ‘sits’ and visualising. Throughout my MKE journey so far, I have generally found my sits quite simple to manage but recently I have started my sit and encountered a complete blank which has been a little disconcerting. I am however persisting and succeeding.

Kindness Week

WOW!

How cool has Kindness Week been?

I have absolutely loved it. Looking out for those random acts of kindness, helping people, seeing the lovely reactions of people and most importantly the power of the group in sharing their acts of kindness. It was so empowering to see the power of a mastermind.

It made me feel so good actually looking out for and doing those acts of kindness, so much so that I shall be continuing to do so from hereon in. It just gives me a warm fuzzy feeling to be making all random acts of kindness.

The Power of the Mastermind

I have really bought into the power of the mastermind now. My friend John and I speak for a short time each morning to reflect on how each of us did the previous day and to discuss what each of us plan to do on the current day. It is quite brilliant as it is challenging both us to hold ourselves accountable for our daily activities and if you’re not doing enough, it’s just plain embarrassing to have to admit to your inactivity all the time.

I had previously set up a mastermind with a colleague but we would meet in a bar early on a Friday and inevitably our mastermind would simply end up as a chat over a beer and it just wasn’t effective. A short daily mastermind is proving to be both effective and very, very useful.

Every week, the Master Key Experience is helping me to be a better me. Happier, healthier, busier, more efficient and effective. I just know that whilst I am a work constantly in process, the MKE is helping me enormously.

Getting Back on Track

I have to say how glad I am to be getting back on track after all the Christmas shenanigans. As lovely as Christmas is, it often seems to come just when you don’t really need it. (It would be great to be able to choose just when Christmas best suits.)

As hard as I tried not to, the Christmas break caused me to miss a few reads and sits which I was a little guilty and unhappy about, predominantly because I felt I was letting myself down. But then again, I only missed a couple and I have always been a little too harsh on myself.

Anyhow, we’ve moved on now and what a way to move on!

Wonder of Franklin’s Makeover

How fantastic is Franklin’s Makeover? And what a great way to kickstart the new year! There are so many weeks coming up that I am excited about and Kindness week is just going to be excellent.

I just love how the Master Key Experience has been put together for us all. It is such an exciting journey!

The Christmas Break

The Christmas break is a time of the year that I never normally relish.

It was always lovely when the children were young, though since then, I have often found the stresses of dealing with an overwhelmingly miserable family simply unbearable. I am by nature a very cheerful person yet the rest of my family have always relished in misery. We are literally like chalk and cheese and anybody spending any more than the minimum amount of time with them tends to end up feeling miserable too.

Fortunately, this year, the interaction with my family members was kept to a minimum, though I genuinely think that the huge amount I have learnt about myself through my Master Key Experience would have enabled me to cope better than ever previously.

My Missed Sits

With everything going on over the Christmas period, I had a little slip. I missed a few reads and a few sits. I didn’t switch off entirely, I managed to do one or two reads each day but I missed more sits. The only day I missed everything entirely was Christmas Day itself.

The Guilt

Missing the reads and sits that I did caused me to feel an element of guilt and the guilt was that I was letting myself down. However, my resolve now is such that I simply moved on and actually did not dwell on it which previously would have happened. So actually, my ‘guilt’ was a positive. I missed working on myself and treating myself and was happier when I was continuing on my Master Key Experience journey.

Upon following the webcast for week 13, my first thoughts were, “How much do I really have to be grateful for?”. Initially, I did not think there was a lot. But, as ever through this program, rather than overthinking everything, I did as I was told and started to write out my gratitude cards.

Fortunately, the first morning, the sun was shining. “I’m grateful for the sun”, I wrote. I saw the pigeon setting out on the tree from my window, it always makes me smile. So I wrote, “I’m grateful for the pigeon that makes me smile”. I soon realised while writing my gratitude cards, just how very much I have to be grateful for.

The whole exercise has become easier, and easier!

I could easily write many gratitude cards each day. Since starting the process of writing my gratitude cards and constantly re-reading them, I manage to put a smile on my face easily at any time I choose and feel more at ease with myself many times throughout the day simply by flicking through my cards.

I never realised how easy that could be.

Again, this is another fine example of how phenomenal the Master Key Experience has been for me. And of course is continuing to be for me and will do for the rest of my life moving forward.

What makes me feel super good about the program as well is that I am paying it forward for somebody else to gain the same wonderful benefits that I am receiving .

Thank you Master Key Experience :-)
