In my last Post, I wrote about how your “Daily Actions” determine your “Current Reality” and what you can do to change that on a practical level on a daily basis.

In this post I want to continue down that road and look at how we can gradually evolve our “Daily Actions” to ensure that we are always stretching ourselves to achieve more than what we’ve done in the past.

You can’t go from small to BIG instantly. You have to start small and gradually get BIGGER! You can’t go from average to great instantly. You have to start average and gradually get BETTER! It doesn’t take a lot to put you above the pack, but it does take SOMETHING!

The way to get there is by creating what I like to call an ACTION SANDWICH. Now one thing that I’m always stressing to people is that one of the most essential things to bring about change is a feeling of Gratitude. What you are grateful for you will attract more of. We live in a FEELING Universe. Whatever we FEEL is what we are going to attract into our lives whether it’s something that we want or not.

So the “Bread” in this sandwich is going to be Gratitude. We start on the bottom with a FEELING OF GRATITUDE for what we already have in our lives RIGHT NOW. At first glance we may not think we have that much to be grateful for but if we start to really focus in on all the things that we do have to be grateful for, then we start to realise that in fact there is always SO MUCH for us to be grateful for. This is important because we can’t really attract anything else into our lives until we begin to feel grateful for what we already have.

Next is our Top piece of “Bread”. In this case that is going to be a FEELING OF GRATITUDE for what we are going to ‘Become’ when we reach our Goal. Remember, we live in a FEELING Universe so to attract the Goal that we seek, we need to first be grateful for what we have. But then we need to put ourselves into the FEELING of already having acquired what we want. What do you want? How is it going to FEEL when you achieve that? Stop right now and write down just a paragraph about how you will FEEL when you have achieved your Goal. Now just close your eyes and step into that FEELING. Visualise yourself as already having that at part of your reality. Now that you have that vision in your mind, now that you have the FEELING of what it’s like to achieve it, now allow yourself to be GRATEFUL for it. Express Gratitude to The Universe / God / Your Higher Self, whatever you believe in, and most importantly express Gratitude to YOURSELF that you have achieved this goal!

Now it’s time for the Filling! The Filling in this sandwich is going to be ACTION!

What Action are you going to take to ensure success? Remember the way to get BIG is to constantly get BIGGER, the way to get Great is to constantly get BETTER! Don’t blow yourself out of the water by setting a BIG Goal and then become disillusioned by the fact it seems too hard to achieve. Set the BIG Goal and then break it down into smaller chunks. What can you do TODAY which is just a little bit Bigger than what you did yesterday? How can you always do just that little bit more than you did the day before which is going to stretch you?

Tony Robbins has this great analogy where he says if you want to do 10 sit ups, which one is going to be the easiest? Answer: number 1 right! But which one is going to get you the most results? Answer: number 10 right! Well actually NO. Tony Robbins says if you set out to do 10 sit ups, the one which is going to get you the most results is number 11 !

It’s what you do EXTRA that counts. What can you do TODAY which is just a little bit BIGGER than what you’ve done before which is going to stretch you and move you forward?
