The Magnetic Leader Ezine, Vol 1.13
Hello!
Tired of frustration and angst? That's the old school way of hard work to get things done (and I know it well!) Welcome to a new philosophy - 'blissipline'. Read on for juicy tips in today's bite-sized newsletter.
With energy no longer being diverted into the IVF effort, I've had a surge of creativity. Here are some of the cool things in the pipeline: a funky ebook on self mastery, a live event for local deliberate creators who want to amp up their manifesting, and a retreat to the coast in November. I am excited to share this all with you. Yay!

"The 12 Core Dynamics of Greatness"
Thursday, 15 July, 2010 8pm edt New York
Friday, 16 July, 10am, Canberra
Friday, 16 July, 10am, Canberra
I am hosting this call this week at the Good Vibe University. The Core Dynamics developed by Tom Stone map the energy dynamics of common 'problems'. The absence of these problems gives us the dynamics of greatness.This work provides an overview of how we often get stuck - the common patterns of thinking and feeling - that create resistance in any of our manifestations.
Understanding the dynamics makes it much easier to then shift and dissolve the patterns and experience a resistance-free way of being, thinking, and feeling. In this call we'll go through each of the dynamics briefly and then focus on the experiential techniques used to dissolve the blocks. The end result when the core dynamics of common problems are resolved is that you end up with the 'the core dynamics of greatness'.
Some benefits of this work include:
- Always trust and act on your intuition
- Be free of the influence of the past and concerns of the future
- Be totally present, living in the moment, in the Now
- Be free of being judgmental about yourself and others
- Be free of habits of getting lost to the grip of emotion
- Have the capacity to feel anything and everything
- Be completely self-sufficient and independent
- Have an depth of self-esteem and self-worth that makes them a non-issue
- Live in a state of unconditional love of yourself, others and all of life
- Live in tune with the flow of nature, "in the zone" all the time
- Maintain a deep inner sense of peace and equanimity all the time
- Be liberated to live the fullest possible expression of your unique talents and qualities
- Be completely clear about your purpose and respond spontaneously to the needs of each moment with the fullness of your being

MAIN ARTICLE: "Have You Got 'Blissipline'?"
I recently watched a marvellous video series from a Malaysian super-entrepreneur,Vishen Lakhiani, on what made him successful. His key point was that it's not marketing, strategy, product, service - it's all about mindset. Yippee! I love having my philosophy and strategy demonstrated in a big and bold way.
There were some fantastic nuggets in there, and my favourite is 'blissipline'.
Here's the juice on 'blissipline' that will really float your boat.
First, you need to know that there is a fundamental tension for achieving all goals that demands rigorous attention. This is:
The tension between appreciation of current reality and looking forward to the future reality.
I call this 'manifestational anticipation' .
It means loving where you are, who you are, what you are doing right here right now (even it really sucks the big wang) and looking forward to what's next with delighted expectation.
There are some key strategies to implement to master the first part of this equation.
Because let's be frank, the only reason you want something new in your life is because you are not that excited about what's here right now. Abraham calls it 'contrast'. Contrast is a good thing! it shows us where we can grow and what we would like to experience next. It's an irritating springboard. If it wasn't irritating we wouldn't change anything and we would still be wearing nappies.
So here's the part where people get tripped up all the time (myself included). How do you create delight in current reality when at best it's irritating and at worst, a serious pain in the butt?
The key is cutting the energy that fuels focus on what you don't want. So quit complaining about that big old butt or that empty bank account or that phone that never rings. Start telling a new story about it all. Like how things are changing, like how that butt keeps you warm at night, like how an empty bank account makes room for so much more to come in.
Appreciation and gratitude gives you another kick in the right direction. The much-Oprah-lauded gratitude journal keeps you firmly pointed downstream and the right manifestational anticipation zone.
Celebrating successes and lots of giant pats on the back also create a keen sense of acceptance and loving what is.
Can you feel your vibe rising even as we talk about this stuff? Woohoo!
But the real high-vibing strategy is 'blissipline'.
This is a relentless practice of bliss in all things that will have you loving everything from dog pooh on your shoe to to tea stains on your favourite jumper to that blank bank account.
Blissipline means that you focus on making all your activities fun and exciting. Everything you do, do from a place of relish and enjoyment.
Even washing the bathroom. This is how I turned bathroom cleaning into a fun, bliss-filled event. First rumble of thoughts started with "I really need to get a housekeeper again, this is taking too much of my time, I am going to have to fight Rob again on this one..." Blah blah blah. Same old bad news story.
WOOP WOOP! Bad vibe alert!
Here is the 'blissipline' intervention. If you can't change it now, make it fun now.
So I cranked some house cleaning dance tunes and scrubbed the tub naked. I was giggling the whole time - who knew that tub scrubbing could be so titillating! Hee hee!
Blissipline is the art and focus of managing how you feel, and setting the dial to 'awesome' every day.
It takes practice and effort, especially if you are clearing up long-standing habitual woe-is-me stories. That's the 'discipline' aspect of blissipline.
But isn't blissipline as a concept so much more delicious than 'discipline'? That's because the payoff is in the process, not the end result! With discipline you are doing something to get a result: exercise at gym to get hot body. It implies uncomfortable effort for feel-good result.
Whereas blissipline is feel-good effort for feel-good results!
It cannot get any better than that!
I'd love to hear how you play with blissipline - please let us know!

Coach's challenge:
Take the blissipline challenge: see if you can turn every single aspect of your day into a blissful experience. Try it for one full day. See what happens! Then tell us about it :)
With love and appreciation,
