How to Triple Your Productivity in 28 days - Part II

Written by M. Anthony


If you've been diligent in doingrepparttar past 2 concentration builders you will notice you have a considerable increase in your productivity and your power to stay focused. In fact, you have probably also noticed that you are more organized, and feel more at ease. These are natural side-effects of building your concentration. Congratulations!

* Concentration Builder Week 3

This week's concentration-builder is a more potent form of week 2. This time instead of actually counting your steps, you also include focusing on your breathe while walking. So it goes like this.

Whenever you are walking, simply coordinate your breathing with your steps.Again, you want to pick a number that's comfortable for you. Between 3 and 6 is what works for most people. So if you chooserepparttar 128735 number 4, you want to breathe in over 4 steps. Then breathe out over 4 steps. Inhale for 4 steps. Exhale for 4 steps.

I particularly like this one. I've been doing it for years and it's almost second nature for me. You'll also find yourself quickly making this concentration-builder a habit once you do it a few times. And once you make it a habit, your concentration, focus, and productivity will continue to improve.

The Enlightened Warrior's 'Keys to Success' Throughrepparttar Power of Our Thoughts, Words, and Deeds

Inrepparttar 128733 philosophical teachings ofrepparttar 128734 Ninja Warrior's Mikkyo esoteric mind-science that formsrepparttar 128735 foundation forrepparttar 128736 Warrior Concepts Life Mastery Program taught to my students and clients, there are three areas of focus that allowrepparttar 128737 Ninja Warrior, or anyone who understands these principles, to act with enlightened clarity and always achieve his or her goals. Each of these so-called '3-Keys of Success' can be focused on in and of itself, butrepparttar 128738 real 'magic' results whenrepparttar 128739 three are brought together and aligned withrepparttar 128740 Ninja's vision.

The 3 Keys are collectively known in Japanese asrepparttar 128741 Sanmitsu or '3 Secrets.' Not at all 'secret' inrepparttar 128742 conventional sense as being kept away from others or hidden,repparttar 128743 sanmitsu are seen as 'secret' because they have to be 'discovered' byrepparttar 128744 student to have any benefit. The three arerepparttar 128745 "thoughts," "speech," and "actions" ofrepparttar 128746 Ninja practitioner. They are seen as bothrepparttar 128747 necessary elements to bring about success, andrepparttar 128748 means by which we can change and affect our world. In this article, I'd like to focus onrepparttar 128749 3rd Key, the 'secret' ofrepparttar 128750 power of our actions. And, like a well-maintained vehicle that gets us where we want to go, our actions arerepparttar 128751 direct manifestation of our thoughts and intention inrepparttar 128752 outside world around us.

As seen onrepparttar 128753 Kongo-kai mandala of Universal Enlightenment, our actions are associated withrepparttar 128754 'wind' realm of All-Accomplishing Wisdom andrepparttar 128755 concept of skillful means. Our actions haverepparttar 128756 potential to change our world and our experience of it. Students studying withinrepparttar 128757 upper training modules before advancing intorepparttar 128758 Black Belt Mastery Stages are constantly reminded ofrepparttar 128759 truth ofrepparttar 128760 power of their actions during their class opening and closing as they reciterepparttar 128761 Ninja Master's Admonition of Sh'kin Haramits' Daikomyo! The lesson of this phrase is that 'every moment - every action - holdsrepparttar 128762 potential of being just that thing that will producerepparttar 128763 happiness, understanding and power that we have been seeking.' It means that "no-thing doesn't matter" - everything deserves our attention.

Of course, merely running around 'doing stuff' is not at all what we're talking about here. Most of us can remember a time when we did a lot but accomplished very little. For most of us, we need only think back overrepparttar 128764 past few days. The key or 'secret' here is not inrepparttar 128765 activity itself but inrepparttar 128766 focus or direction that requires a particular action. The truth is that unfocused, undirected action is nothing but idle 'wheel-spinning.' It accomplishes nothing towardrepparttar 128767 accomplishment of goals and more towards creating even more ofrepparttar 128768 feelings of exhaustion, exasperation and distraction that regularly plague our days.
