I\u2019ll spare you the details, but what I want you to know is: there is no need to wait until life kicks you to make <strong>life-changing decisions<\/strong>. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>What until that moment had seemed important and immutable, suddenly seemed <strong>absurd<\/strong> and <strong>meaningless<\/strong>. My inner drum was becoming louder than ever. In fact, it had been calling for a very long time, but I had done everything possible to <strong>ignore that call<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>I thought I didn\u2019t have the time. There was too much noise around me. Or maybe I didn\u2019t want to hear it \u2026 or maybe I was afraid to uncover an inconvenient or <strong>terrifying truth<\/strong>. Something as sinister as what had happened made me realize that it was time to make major changes in my life, and <strong><span style=\"background-color: #ffcc99;\">leave the area in which nothing ever happens at all<\/span> <\/strong>\u2013 <strong>The Comfort Zone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>I could not continue to ignore <strong>the call of my Inner Drum<\/strong>. Much had to change, but it was a road of no return. I would have to face the <strong>fear<\/strong>, the <strong>insecurity<\/strong>, the <strong>unknown<\/strong>, and the <strong>criticism<\/strong>. But today I can tell you that the reward has exceeded my expectations.<\/p>\n<p>It would be much smarter not to wait until life slaps you in the face to realize these truths. I understand it is not always possible. Mental deafness and denial is very common. But once you really start listening and wake up, you realize that <strong>it is not impossible<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ba1313; font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Tips to Unlock Your Ears<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>As with any move or change of season, the first thing to do is get rid of any surplus. Be ready for a <span style=\"background-color: #ffcc99;\"><strong>cleanup at four levels<\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0<strong>Cleaning yourself physically<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I have said this before. We have to <strong>stop using our bodies as a dump<\/strong> \u2013 from &#8220;food&#8221; that poisons us to toxic chemicals and products absorbed by our skin every day. A polluted body cannot operate at 100%. Why are we content with a half-running body, when we have an amazingly perfect and ingenious vehicle that can take us where we want if we treat it properly? Eat clean; eat real food!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0<strong>Cleaning your space<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Give away or recycle everything that no longer transmits good vibrations, has lost its reason for being in your life, or has become more of a hindrance than a useful object. <strong>Freeing space gives way for new inspiring things<\/strong> to enter into your life.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0<strong>Cleaning your relationships<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Yes, relationships must be maintained and cleaned up too. Stop wasting energy and time on relationships that no longer contribute anything to your well-being, and, even worse, rob your energy. There is no need to win the prize of Mister or Miss Nice. It\u2019s more important to be honest and good to yourself.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>\u00a0Cleaning up your media<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Long ago I stopped watching the news and TV in general. Is there anything more depressing and <strong>manipulated<\/strong> than the media? I do not say that you shouldn\u2019t be informed but open your eyes and ears and look for different sources. Do not fill your head with the distressing news that<strong> you can\u2019t do anything about<\/strong> anyway.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Instead of trying to change the world, <strong><span style=\"background-color: #ffcc99;\">start by changing yourself<\/span><\/strong> \u2026 isn\u2019t that enough of a challenge? Only when you change yourself, will the world around you change. <strong>Don\u2019t wander aimlessly through the social media<\/strong> network \u2013 you&#8217;re throwing away precious moments of your life! Instead, watch and <strong>listen to things that inspire you<\/strong> to achieve what you really want in life.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ba1313; font-size: 18pt;\">\u00a0<strong>But What Will I Do Without \u201cEntertainment?\u201d<\/strong><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Once this is done, you\u2019ll have much more time and creativity to work on your new life. Once you start cleaning up your life, you will finally be able to hear the beautiful new music of real life that you were ignoring before. For that I bring you the following <span style=\"background-color: #ffcc99;\"><strong>proposals<\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc;\">\n<li>\u00a0<strong>Meditate<\/strong>: Meditation is a very useful tool for calming the mind, making it blank, and connecting with your deepest being. No, you do not need to spend hours meditating. A couple of minutes a day will produce noticeable results.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0<strong>Ask yourself interesting questions that make you think deeply<\/strong>. There are powerful questions that can change your life, like these:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 What would I devote myself to if I had all the money in the world?<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 What would I like to do if success was guaranteed one-hundred percent?<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 What would be important to me if I had only six months left?\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 Would I rather be happy or be right?<\/p>\n<ul style=\"list-style-type: disc;\">\n<li>\u00a0<strong>Read and learn constantly<\/strong>; it will take your life to another level. When you stop learning you stop advancing. Learn to be the best you can be.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0<strong>Surround yourself with inspiring people <\/strong>who fill you with energy and from whom you can learn how to achieve your dreams.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0<strong>Do something you like <\/strong>that fills you with joy and vitality <strong>every day<\/strong>. If possible, do it first thing in the\u00a0morning to prevent the vicissitudes of the day from ruining your plan.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0<strong>Stop complaining or even listening to complaints<\/strong>. A couple of months ago I participated in a seminar in which we were asked not to complain, for one day <strong>at least<\/strong>. This was a revealing exercise! It felt liberating. Complaining is utterly ineffective in achieving any goal. If, in the end, you decide to complain, do something immediately afterwards\u00a0to change what bothers you or forever hold your peace.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0<strong>Never stop exploring and looking around. <\/strong>Don\u2019t lose your curiosity for new things and the ability to be surprised. When the brain is active, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.webmd.com\/alzheimers\/guide\/preventing-dementia-brain-exercises?page=2#1\">more cell brains are built<\/a>, so keep your brain flexible and in use, <strong>regardless of your age.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Now it\u2019s your turn.
