Easiest Option
You may be wondering what this website is all about and how it can be of
any use to you.
Well, the whole site is based on one simple concept:
Energy will always flow in the path of least resistance first. Essentially,
it will take the easiest option.
This is one of the fundamental principles of creation.
Given the options available, our human nature will always choose the easiest
path, you know which one I mean don't you... TV and sleep!
You may be thinking now "That's great, so we've established that human
beings are generally quite lazy, so is this going to help me?"
This is not some revolutionary idea that just been discovered, in fact, it's
so simple that it could actually be called "common sense".
It may be simple yet it's actually very powerful as it
Lets take a look at some ways to take advantage of this simple concept:
Method 1): Change the context - think about the bigger picture
Example A: Studying
is harder than watching TV, but being homeless is harder than having a good
job that was obtained with the qualifications.
Example B: Stealing
something may seem easier than working hard to save up for it, but being
locked up in a prison cell is harder than being at home with family and
friends.
Method 2): Limit the options
Example: If, before, the
choice for your children was homework or computer, then take away the
computer until they finish their homework. (Instead, you can offer them the
choice between different homeworks e.g English or Math.)
Method 3): Rearrange the environment
Example A: Put things that
you want more in your life closer and easier to have e.g. if you want to eat
more healthily - put a fruit bowl on the table.
Example B: Put things that
you don't want in your life further away e.g. if want to stop drinking
alcohol - avoid going to the bar/pub.
Knowing that you can affect an outcome by simply controlling the options is
very empowering.
Keep exploring this concept and you will soon discover just how easy it is
to change your life for the better.
Let it be easy,
