He rides the bike out once or twice every couple of months to take his son to the park... 

Basically, the full capability of his mountain bike is slightly wasted on him.

It is like owning a Ferrari and keeping it in the garage, only driving it to the local shop and back once every couple of months.  It is not being stretched.

A couple of years ago, I got myself a new iMac computer system... Lots of flashing lights, it had the most  amazing list of features and capabilities I could bore you with, but shall not do so today...

It is the same thing... 
It just is not going to get stretched or use to its potential by me, although it gets used plenty... 
It does give me some sense of security to have it running my business though. It sits proudly upon my desk.

My desk is now in the corner of my garden. I have built an office at home so I can spend more time with my family and focus on different facets of the business here - something I'll be sharing more of in coming weeks.  

I love my new working environment. I love my office. 

As well as my fabulous computer system, I have jam packed bookcases, my phone system connecting me to the world, my antique furniture, my leather chairs, my kitsch and almost pathé styled framed 1890s hypnosis posters and everything else in there.... 
It feels nice and I have it just how I want it... 
I am certain that you have rooms that make you feel the same way, don't you?

Sometimes in life when we move forward towards our dreams and goals, fears of the past prevent us from achieving, 
That is a real recurring theme here. 

So many people view their future through the past... 
Because a certain thing happened in the past, many people assume that the same thing is going to happen in the future... 
And that train of thought holds us back and can be damaging to the goals that we wish to strive toward.

Today, I want to show you how to develop your own dream office in your mind and use it to let go of past fears or failures and enable you a clearer and easier path to tread as you push forward.

It can enhance all kinds of aspects of your life and metaphorically remove past fears or those still hanging around... Worrying, fearing and being anxious about circumstances can detrimentally affect your life and the way you are perceived by others...

Then, steady your breathing, focus on the moment and begin to engage your imagination... With your eyes comfortably closed, begin to create an office in your mind that's going to be a place you run your life from. Like a powerful control centre - a place where you can be in control of your mind and body!

Spend all the time necessary in creating the perfect environment for you. Decorate the room in the colours you love and that are conducive for this place... Do all you can to make it just the way you want it to be.

Don't spare any expense of course, your imagination knows no bounds. Imagine you have unlimited funds and resources to make this office room every bit the perfect place for you.

Then go ahead and fill it with the most sophisticated equipment that you can imagine: computers, copiers, printers, phones, lighting, furniture, rugs, chairs and anything your heart desires... Also please include somewhere, a paper shredder...

I'll repeat that you need to spend all the time you feel is necessary to really ensure you get this place entirely as you wish it to be.

OK.... Let's have some fun!!

Now go and take that picture of that negative situation, or memory or circumstance, whatever it might be.... Take it over to your paper shredder.... Be sure to turn the shredder on.... Put one heck of a HUGE smile on your face and delight as you place the picture in the slot in the top and watch it shred... I like to laugh wickedly and out loud while doing this, but you may choose to do it in your own fashion...

However you do this, notice how good it feels as it is being shredded and falls into the wastebasket below... And boy oh boy, what a feeling of pleasure you get.

Then, should you choose, go back over to your desk, choose another image and do the same procedure.

Do as many as you want each session that you choose to spend some time in your office...

Until as many as you can are wiped out, shredded, destroyed and gotten rid of... Make sure there  are exciting, reassuring, confidence boosting and enjoyable scenes on the computer screen when you turn it on..

Then after you have spent some time clearing out as many of the negative files in your life as you possibly can, then you may well want to check your computer every night before you go to sleep, or every morning before you go about your day.. just checking the files for any negative events or situations that occurred that day.

If you find any, print them off, having put them into picture form, take them over to the shredder and get rid of them. yay!

Make it a regular task to check your computer before going to sleep to make sure only a beautiful picture is on the screen, a picture that makes you feel attractive, charged with confidence and self-assuredness.

It is such a healthy way to really weed out your mind... Like you are tending to a garden, each day and night just ensuring that you let go of what you no longer need. Create your office and have some fun in there!

I make a living selling German philosophy text downloads for Kindle, but there's not much money in it.
It's a Nietzsche market.

Hahaha... I really enjoyed those, shared with me by Gareth Jones on Facebook, a former student.

Thanks to all of you who send the jokes in, I love getting them.
