“Any time you sincerely want to make a change, the first thing you must do is to raise your standards. When people ask me what really changed my life eight years ago, I tell them that absolutely the most important thing was changing what I demanded of myself. I wrote down all the things I would no longer accept in my life, all the things I would no longer tolerate, and all the things that I aspired to becoming.” - Tony Robbins

You can create anything you desire. You were not born to just survive you were born to thrive. What are you accepting and putting up with in your life that is not serving your highest good? What are you willing to no longer accept in your life?

Divine guidance as well as your thoughts, words and actions have brought you up to this point in your life. You are the creator of your life, so what do you want to create going forward? You have complete control over your thoughts, words, feelings and actions. Sometimes in life we need to raise our standards and ask ourselves what are the things that you will no longer accept and no longer tolerate? What are the things that you want to create? In order for you to create what you want, raising your standards is necessary.

Here are 4 easy steps that will help you to raise your standards and create what it is you want:

1. Believe. The definition of the word believe is to accept as true or real, to have firm faith, confidence or trust. The first step in creating anything that you want is believing that it is possible and then having the knowingness that it will show up in your life. Anything is possible if you just believe and have the knowingness that it will manifest in your life.

2. Visualize. What is it that you want? Think BIG. Getting clear and specific in your mind about what is it that you want is absolutely necessary. Creating a vision board is a great way to visualize as well as setting a specific amount of time each and every day to visualize what it is that you want. Whatever you’re thinking about is literally like planning a future event. The thoughts you have are critical in the manifestation process, so what will you continue to “think” about?

3. Feeling. One of the key elements when you are visualizing what it is that you want is the feeling behind it. Whenever we “want” something it is usually the feeling that we want to feel when we “have” that something. If we can feel the feeling of having whatever we want before it appears in its physical form, consistently, the manifestation process occurs quickly. Being aware of your feelings is key when raising your standards.

4. Action. Taking aligned right action steps is the last step when raising our standards. When our believing, thinking and feeling are all in alignment the most important step is taking action on whatever it is that we want. We want to be careful that the action we are taking is not manipulative or controlling but rather in alignment with what we want. Taking action shows the Universe that we are not only ready to receive but we are committed to what it is that we want.
