Of course, when visitors first arrive at your site and start reading your copy, they probably do not know you and have no reason to trust you. That is why it is so crucial to build your credibility. You MUST explain why you are qualified to help them or solve their problem. That does not necessarily mean official qualifications. It may simple be that you have experience the problem that brought them to your site in the first place, and you found a solution to the problem that you want to share with them! AND you must show that you are just like them. A great way to accomplish this is by telling a story!

Now It is Your Turn

Mindfulness Series Part 2

Hi, Erik Huber. This is part two of our mindfulness series.

In the first part we talked about the distinction and understanding that you are not your thoughts. Now that we understand that let's go into the distinction between attachment and non-attachment.

The happiest, most successful, fulfilled and blissed out people think negative thoughts. They're not blissed out because they don't think the negative thoughts. They're blissed out because they know what to do with negative thoughts.

Non-attachment is a concept which states that when I have a negative thought, I have a choice as to whether or not I attach or practice non-attachment.

When we have a negative thought, we don't get into trouble because we thought. We get into trouble because we latch onto it and we go for the full ride. Not because we had a negative thought but because we attached to it. Don't attach to those negative thoughts. If attachment is the enemy, what's the solution? What's the cure? It is the non-attachment. Not attaching to it looks like I have a choice. Do I want to attach to this or do I want to practice non-attachment? When you put that choice in front of you, it makes so much more sense to say "No, I don't want to attach to this".

Have you ever heard of the old adage for an angry person? The adage is "never say a word in anger until after counting to 10". Well, there's nothing magical about counting to 10. There's something very magical about placing something between stimulus and response. We're putting non-attachment between stimulus and response. We're not acting out of default, we're being deliberate.

When I have a new theory that seems promising, I put it to the test and if it doesn't work for me, I'm not confident sharing it with my clients.

This worked for me. The experiment that I performed was on my dogs. I used to get very frustrated with my dogs barking. I read this book and learned about non-attachment so I waited for the dogs to bark. I was already halfway to upset when I said "Timeout!". Instead of fully attaching myself to frustration about the dogs barking, I'm going to practice non-attachment. Could it really be that simple? I wonder what's for lunch and all of a sudden I'm just going on with my day because I practiced non-attachment. I could have attached again and get upset at the dogs. I could have gone to anger but I practiced non-attachment. It's really that simple.

If you like this video, I've got a lot more on my website and I've got a free 20 minute phone consultation. I'd love to hear from you.

When I have a new concept or theory that seems promising, I put it to the test and if it doesn't work for me, I'm not confident sharing it with my clients.

This worked for me. The experiment that I performed was on my dogs. I used to get very frustrated with my dogs barking. I read this book and learned about non-attachment so I waited for the dogs to bark. As expected they barked (NOTE) I was already halfway to upset before I caught it and applied non-attachment. Instead of fully attaching myself to frustration about the dogs barking, I'm going to practice non-attachment. Non-attachment states that I have the power of choice right now in this situation. So I can choose to be frustrated again or I can choose no-attachment. Can it really be that simple? Just recognize I have a choice and choose wisely is that all there is to it? I suddenly recognized that I was no longer upset, frustrated or victimized. The next thought was profound…. “I wonder what's for lunch” and all of a sudden I'm just going on with my day because I practiced non-attachment. I could have attached again and get upset at the dogs. I could have gone to anger but I practiced non-attachment. It's really that simple.
