TAKING ALIGNED AND CONSISTENT INNER ACTION

Taking Aligned and Consistent Action - Kylie Attwell, Founder of A Guide for Life

If you've ever tried to change your life by chasing external results – only to feel stuck, burnt out or unfulfilled – you're not alone. After years of trial and error, I finally discovered that real and lasting positive transformation begins inside. In this post, I'll share how consistently aligning your inner world – your thoughts, emotions and beliefs – with... Read More >

HOW TO REPROGRAM YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS BELIEFS

Reprogram Your Subconsious Beliefs - Landing Page 1024 x 634

Creating a new narrative that you mentally and physically rehearse is one of the most powerful ways to reprogram your subconscious mind – and it's highly effective for changing the printout of your life. However, there are now new modalities available that help to fast-forward the process. Before I share these modalities, it is important to learn a little bit about... Read More >

CHANGE YOUR LIFE NARRATIVE

Change Your Life Narrative by Kylie Attwell, Founder of A Guide for Life

Your life narrative shapes everything—your beliefs, choices, and experiences. Most people live by default, not by design, because their life story was written in childhood and never rewritten. By consciously creating a new life narrative, you can overcome limiting childhood programming and design a future aligned with your deepest desires. So what’s required? It starts with understanding where your current narrative... Read More >

RELEASE YOUR EMOTIONAL BAGGAGE

Release-Your-Emotional-Baggage-by-Kylie-Attwell-Founder-of-A-Guide-for-Life

If you truly wish to overcome the pain from your past and experience sustained emotional buoyancy, you need to release your emotional baggage. This post walks you through why it matters and the most effective methods to do so. We’ve all experienced some kind of trauma – whether it's physical or emotional. None of us go unscathed. And if we don’t... Read More >

PRACTISING EMOTIONAL SELECTIVITY

Practising Emotional Selectivity by Kylie Attwell, A Guide for Life

I have a confession. While it seems glaring obvious now, it took me over forty years to realise that much of my discontent and unhappiness in life was due to acting out of habit, boredom, fear and guilt. It was only when I began ‘practising emotional selectivity’ and my life became more pleasurable and joyous that I truly understood the... Read More >

TAKE COMMAND OF YOUR THOUGHTS

Take Command of Your Thoughts by Kylie Attwell, Founder of A Guide for Life

Taking command of your thoughts is the next step when it comes to mastering inner work. I’ve found this approach to be powerful antidote for a mind that is in the habit of spiralling into negative self-talk. Much more so than methods tailored to quieten the mind. As mentioned in my previous post, meditation only amplified the chaos occurring between my... Read More >

HOW TO QUIETEN YOUR MIND

If your mind is still very active even after trying the above listed methods don’t give up. Your mind will naturally become less busy when you learn to master your thoughts, feelings, beliefs and actions. Mastering your thoughts doesn’t just involve quietening your mind. The next stage is learning to harness it in positive and productive ways. In my next post, I will prescribe various practices and modalities to help you unleash your imagination and bridge the gap between your current reality and the life of your dreams.

A mind without relentless mental chatter is a relatively new experience for me. The silence and spaciousness I now enjoy is a welcome relief. I could never go back to the level of busyness and noise that was ‘normal’ for me. So how did I do it? How did I overcome a mind that foresaw every possible worst-case scenario, regardless of...

WHAT IS INNER WORK?

What is Inner Work by Kylie Attwell, Founder of A Guide for Life

How many times have you heard ‘inner work’ bantered around by personal development and spiritual teachers? It’s touted to be the holy grail when it comes to overcoming trauma, achieving your goals and reaching your full potential. The frustrating part is that ‘a clear definition’ and ‘how to apply it’ is rarely discussed in detail. I spent almost two decades exploring the teachings... Read More >

TAKE EFFECTIVE ACTION

Take Effective Action by Kylie Attwell, founder of A Guide for Life

Clearly, manifesting your ultimate life is not all about mental rehearsal. It is going to require action, and a specific type of action. It’s about making sure your subconscious programming aligns with what you consciously wish to create, rather than forcing things to happen. As mentioned earlier, it is your subconscious mind that does your bidding. Your job is to take... Read More >

CHANGING SUBCONSCIOUS BELIEFS

Creating a new narrative that you mentally and physically rehearse is effective for changing the printout of your life. However, there are now processes available that facilitate communication with the subconscious mind to fast-forward the reprogramming process. Well-known examples include Neuro-linguistic Programming (NLP), Kinesiology, Theta Healing and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). In Activity 7, you will be introduced to PSYCH-K®, a... Read More >

EMOTIONAL SELF-MANAGEMENT

We constantly live in a state of emotional flux because every thought and experience, whether negative or positive, produces a corresponding emotion. Therefore, if we are weighed down by emotional baggage from past traumas it’s no wonder we recycle situations that reinforce our fears, shame, anger, worry, concern, hatred, guilt, despair and depression. On the other hand, we’ve all experienced... Read More >

THOUGHTS ARE FORMATIVE

Everything starts with intention. Every human creation or invention is preceded by an idea, a mental picture or a fully formed vision. In other words, you need a clear mental image of what you want to create for it to take form. Elite athletes, high achievers, visionary leaders, entrepreneurs and even celebrities have been consciously creating their future for decades. Olympic... Read More >

WORKBOOK #2 IN DIGITAL FORMAT

Digital Version WB#2 - Website Landing Page

Now available in digital format! IMAGINEERing YOUR ULTIMATE FUTURE is my favourite of the self-empowerment process because it's mostly all about dreaming and dreaming big! You get to say what goes. There’s no more living in 50 shades of beige – I’ve got nothing against the colour, sometimes it’s rather calming, but it doesn’t 'spark joy' as Marie Kondo would say. By... Read More >

PASSION VS PURPOSE

Passion Vs Purpose - Kylie Attwell, Founder of A Guide for Life

PASSION vs PURPOSE, do you know the difference? You may have been advised to Follow Your Passion or Live Your Bliss and success will follow. Unfortunately, that's where many people go wrong. Building a life centred around PASSION offers temporary satisfaction, but it is not the answer to creating a joyous, fulfilling and meaningful life. In the short video below I define the...

DESIGN YOUR LIFE

Susan-Jane-and-Kylie-Attwell-Imagineer-Your-Ultimate-Future-Interview

Would you attempt to build a house without a detailed design? No. Yet most people never take the time to contemplate how they would really like to experience life. As a consequence, they live life by default rather than by design, and unknowingly settle for a mediocre version. My latest workbook, Imagineer Your Ultimate Future, steps readers through the process of designing... Read More >

DRY JULY

Dry July - A Guide for Life

Dry July can be a struggle for many. Eight years ago it would have been for me also. Back then, 5pm on a Friday afternoon marked wine o'clock and the start of my weekend.

ADVENTURES OF AN AWAKENED HEART

Adventures of An Awakened Heart - Kylie Attwell, Founder of A Guide for Life

In 2012 I had a heart awakening adventure that changed my life irrevocably. It was a spur of the moment ‘why the hell not’ type of a trip. I knew my destination. However, my day-to-day itinerary was left to chance. This vacation to the USA and Mexico was the precursor and catalyst to my life being turned upside down and inside out in the...

This state is reached by shifting your awareness from your head to your heart by... Read More >

LIFE IS AN INSIDE JOB

My two decade long self-transformation journey led me to understand that life is an inside job. What do I mean by that? Who you are on the inside – your repetitive thought patterns, how you consistently feel, what you believe to be true about life and your behavioural choices – is an exact reflection of what shows up in your outer world. A... Read More >

2020, BEST YEAR EVER?!

For many 2020 has been devastating on so many levels, my heart goes out to those who are struggling, and yet others share they’re having their best year.

PASSION ≠ PURPOSE

Passion Does Not Equal Purpose - Kylie Attwell, Founder of A Guide for Life

In Chapter 1 of My Story I state that passion does not equal life purpose.  I had to learn this the hard way.  I spent six years chasing one of my passions and it cost me dearly - both emotionally and financially.  I now feel compelled to share the key differences with others so they don’t make the same mistakes...

WHAT VOICE DO YOU LISTEN TO?

Which Voice Do You Listen To? by Kylie Attwell, Founder of A Guide for Life

Mental health professionals now acknowledge that we all have an inner voice that speaks to us. Some refer to it as a thought voice or mind chatter. It has also been called self-talk, mental chatter, an inner monologue or dialogue, inner conversation and inner thoughts. According to psychologists, the voice is not ‘heard’ by healthy people. Instead it’s experienced as a mental verbalisation of... Read More >

STREAM-OF-CONSCIOUSNESS JOURNALING

Stream of Consciousness Journalling with Kylie Attwell, Founder of A Guide for Life

In my last post I recommended using stream-of-consciousness journaling as a tool for liberating yourself from your fears, doubts and negative self-talk.

LETTING GO OF THE REINS

Just let go.  Detach from the outcome. I'd heard and read both of these statements hundreds of times.

LEARNING TO FOLLOW LIFE’S COMPASS

Understand Synchronicities and Meaningful Coincidences with Kylie Attwell, Founder of A Guide for Life

After several weeks of diligently 'reprogramming' myself (as described in Chapter 5) my whole perspective on life had changed. There had been no material difference in my circumstances, but I was no longer plagued with negative thoughts.  The feelings of anxiety, panic and depression had lifted.  I had finally found my ‘calling' (refer to Chapter 1).  I felt excited and inspired.

Having learnt the fundamental ways in which the subconscious mind can be reprogrammed, I adopted a four-pronged approach of consciously working with my thoughts, beliefs, actions and feelings.  In this post,...

DR. BRUCE LIPTON

Dr. Bruce Lipton reviewed by Kylie Attwell

Dr. Bruce Lipton’s work has been instrumental in helping me understand the power of the subconscious mind. He introduced me to the science of Epigentics and explained at a molecular level how our beliefs affect every cell in our body and our experience of life. As a result of his work, I now understand the fundamental ways in which the subconscious... Read More >

REPROGRAMMING THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND

Create Heart-Brain Coherence with Kylie Attwell, Founder of A Guide for Life

Over a three month period I eliminated the things from my life that didn’t represent or reflect who I am. I replaced them with activities that I loved to do. This process, as simple as it may sound, sent me through extreme highs and lows. During the elimination phase I felt lost and was overwhelmed by fear, panic and depression. During the... Read More >

DISCOVERING HOW TO CUSTOMISE MY LIFE

Customise Your Life with Kylie Attwell, Founder of A Guide for Life

I’d eliminated the things from my life that I didn’t enjoy, and minimised the time spent with people who didn’t make me feel good. The result was that I now had the space and time for the things that did reflect the kind of life I wanted to work towards. But, where to start? For inspiration, I reviewed my life – looking...

CREATING SPACE FOR THE NEW

Create Space for the New with Kylie Attwell, Founder of A Guide for Life

I now had a sense of how much happier I would be if I aligned my life with my highest values. However, instead of rushing out and trying to create the life I had envisioned, I learnt to take a new approach. I started by making subtle but powerful changes to my current life. I began by assessing my life to see what did and... Read More >

ENVISIONING MY NEW LIFE

Envision the Life of Your Dreams with Kylie Attwell, Founder of A Guide for Life

By practising Dr. John Demartini's method for determining your highest values I realised that it was critical for me to pursue a life which involved searching for life's spiritual meaning and helping others live their fullest potential.

Discover Who Your Are with Kylie Attwell, Founder of A Guide for Life

As promised, I going to share my transformation story with you.  I’ll spare you from many of the years of gloom and doom, however I will share snippets where appropriate so you can see what aspects of life I was struggling with and the end result after I applied a particular tool or incorporated a specific practise into my life.

A BLESSING IN DISGUISE

Understand Everything is a Blessing with Kylie Attwell, Founder of A Guide for Life

I wasn’t intending to tell my story. It was pulled out of me kicking and screaming. You see, when I first began to collate the information and tools that I’d used to explain how I’d turned my life around, I’d presented the material in a dry, textbook-like fashion. The original version was like a procedure manual without examples, pictures or... Read More >

WHEN ONE THING LEADS TO ANOTHER

Gregg Braden Chaco Canyon Tour review by Kylie Attwell, Founder of A Guide for Life

At the tail end of my USA pilgrimage I had the opportunity to spend the weekend exploring the mysterious ruins of Chaco Canyon, New Mexico with Gregg Braden. It’s not the first time I’ve toured with Gregg nor is it the first time I’ve journeyed to Chaco Canyon with him. Our first travel adventure together was in 2012.  I, along with a... Read More >

FROM CHAOS TO COHERENCE

From Chaos to Coherence review by Kylie Attwell, Founder of A Guide for Life

I’m home again.  The last three weeks have been a whirlwind.  So much has happened that I feel as though I’ve been away for six months. Everything looks very different yet vaguely familiar.  It’s as if I’ve seen my home, neighbourhood and city in a movie and now I’m experiencing the reality of it for the first time.  I’m guessing some...

IS IT ALL IN MY MIND?

Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind with Kylie Attwell, Founder of A Guide for Life

I’m here for a workshop (titled It's Never Too Late) led by Julia Cameron who is one of the teachers I’ve been writing about.  Julia Cameron is an author, artist, poet, playwright, novelist, filmmaker, composer, journalist and teacher.  She is most famous for...

RETURNING TO WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

Kylie Attwell, Founder of A Guide for Life, Returns to Where it all Began

I’ve decided to go on a pilgrimage of sorts.  My plan is to meet with all the teachers I’m featuring on this site.  It’s not something that I’m obliged to do.  I’m doing it out of courtesy to them so they are aware of what I have written about them and their material before it goes live. I’m nervous.  The people... Read More >

WHEN THE STUDENT IS READY

Transform Your Life with Kylie Attwell, Founder of A Guide for Life

Lately, I’ve been writing about the people who changed my life.  I refer to them as ‘teachers’ because of the knowledge they imparted to me - whether it be through what they wrote, what they said in a lecture, or taught in a teleseminar or workshop. Reflecting on the events and timing surrounding how each one came into my life, I... Read More >

BARING IT ALL

I’m still writing. But my story is now complete. I’ve broken it down into seven bite sized ‘chapters’ to give you an overview of the stages I went through, and the techniques I used to interrupt my habit of spiralling into negativity and depression, without medication. I give you examples of all my stumbles and misapplications. I discuss the processes I... Read More >

WELCOME!

A Guide for Life White Logo

Just shy of five years ago I set out on an adventure to the US and Mexico. It was a spur-of-the-moment ‘why the hell not’ type of trip. I knew my destination. However, my day-to-day itinerary was left to chance. Unbeknownst to me at the time, this vacation was the precursor and catalyst to my life being turned upside down... Read More >
