When he was young, Thomas claims he was extremely undisciplined and aware of the thoughts that went along with being undisciplined.
“I couldn’t see a task through, then. Whether I was learning to play the piano or gymnastics, I was going to drop out of it as soon as I burned up the initial enthusiasm.”
~Thomas Sterner
Thomas felt he was never going to reach his potential and that he
needed to find a solution to his lack of discipline.
“When I was in college a close friend of mine gave me the textbook to his Philosophies of the World course. It went through all the different religions of the world, both Eastern and Western, and I ate it up. I couldn’t get enough.”
~Thomas Sterner
Within a few years Thomas was a completely different person. He went into sports, psychology, neuroscience, and he continues to study today.
“I learned about the relationship between our mind, our body, and the universe. A shift that’s taking place.”
~Thomas Sterner
Thomas soon went into piano technology, which was an in-demand profession. He had every credential available and worked 65 to 70 hours a week. It helped him focus on routine tasks.
“We spend most of our time being very attached to a goal and getting the job done. We want the kids picked up. We want the grocery shopping done. Well, I couldn’t have that mindset working on pianos because it just went on and on and on and on. I had to retrain myself to be in the moment.”
~Thomas Sterner
Thomas defines the conscious mind as the observer of everything else, and the language of the subconscious mind is feelings.
“The subconscious doesn’t pay much attention to words but to feelings and images of those feelings that are happening outside of you.”
~Thomas Sterner
Thomas adds that the subconscious mind is a very elegant, non-judgmental
recording system which is extremely
accurate. The subconscious sees how you react to every situation, and the
thought creates the feeling which is electromagnetic energy.
“We’re not actually the thinker of our thoughts. We’re being thought by our subconscious. Because we’ve always been doing it, it feels normal.”
~Thomas Sterner
We’re being stimulated by what we hear and see, by the task we’ve been given. Just because we don’t know we’re doing it doesn’t mean we’re not doing it. We’re either in control or we’re being controlled.
Whether we’re learning to drive a car, to sell, or to play golf, our
mind becomes absorbed in the process. As soon as we become adept at it, the subconscious
mind takes a load off the brain and we don’t need to focus on it anymore.
“There’s no decision making in it. It’s just a program that’s being run, and you’re either in control, or you’re the victim of your subconscious.”
~Thomas Sterner
Thomas writes in his book that the key to changing the program is getting outside of it. When you get outside of the process, you can say to yourself, “I don’t want to have this experience, so I’ll rewrite the program.”
“Today we are proving empirically what has been known in the East for thousands of years. They weren’t distracted by technology. They were always looking inside. They were looking at the internal world.”
~Thomas Sterner
It’s like electricity. Electricity has been here since creation,
but we’ve only known it was there for about 150 years. Electricity was always
there. It was always waiting to be used.
“We have the ability to control our thinking. If we use that ability we can change the environment our body is exposed to. This is important for health, happiness, and contentment in life. I think most people walking around today don’t feel like they’re in control.”
~Thomas Sterner
What’s the first step to begin controlling our thoughts?
“You should begin a simple, short meditation practice every day. You can’t do it wrong, but guided meditations are asking you to think. You should close your eyes to stop thinking.“
~Thomas Sterner
Sit quietly with your back erect and watch your body breathe. Your brain may get bored in about 10 to 15 seconds and starts to think about tasks to do.
“What you want is that moment when you catch the mind, leave the thought, and become the observer. Pulling it back in strengthens your willpower.”
~Thomas Sterner
Within a very short period of time, you start to notice that
you’re not your thoughts. You start to feel outside of your thoughts. Now you
have the privilege of choice.
Thomas Sterner’s new book It’s Just a Thought: Emotional Freedom through Deliberate Thinking
offers proven methods for recognizing and redirecting the thoughts that
fuel stress, anger, and fear and redirecting them to foster
accomplishment, success, and even joy. Why is it so hard to implement the positive changes we want to make? Why do we react to some situations in ways that cause us pain, anxiety, and fear? Why is it so hard to quiet our minds so we can fully enjoy the present moment? Is there anything we can do to change any of this? These are the kinds of questions that author Thomas M. Sterner answers in his new book With inspiring examples and practical action steps, Sterner teaches we are not the thoughts and emotions that overwhelm us Meet Tom Sterner

Though
deep in the throes of childhood family chaos with two unstable and
unhappy parents — divorcing, marrying others, then remarrying Sherry Stirling Fernandez still knew she was destined for great things. And that is something she wants you to instill in you! Along with the clearly defined pathway to achieve it!Sherry’s new USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller Life Mastery: Personal Progression Toward an Infinite Potential makes the case that if you are not progressing toward a better version of yourself, you can never achieve any true sense of joy. Happiness
comes from recognizing and celebrating the fulfillment of your personal
goals no matter how challenging — and then setting out on the road to
the next one. A lifetime of progress toward your infinite potential is
what makes you exceptional, fills your heart and enables you to leave
your imprint on the world — your legacy! Meet Sherry Stirling Fernandez
Imagine being in the path of a tsunami. A large wall of water towers over you and washes away the once-thought sure foundation beneath you. Being washed to and fro in the churning waves, you struggle for something, anything, to hold on to.
Imagine as hard as it is to keep your head above water, and to dogpaddle until exhaustion nearly overtakes you, this may be a perfect situation. This may be the best thing which has ever happened to you.
3. The love of her life broke off
their relationship
Maria was drowning in the tsunami. Thankfully, a few angel-friends showed up to help her. She was inspired by others who survived tragedies like hers, and she began to recognize synchronicity in the events of her own life.
Despite the triple tragedies in 2008, it ended up being the best year of Maria’s life.
“I found a job a thousand times better than the old one. I became a speech champion, achieved a top 10 percent award as an instructor with Dale Carnegie courses, and I finally returned to Greece – a lifetime dream.”
Maria Mantoudakis
That’s Maria’s message: “Whatever you’re currently going through, it might be the best year of your life. Miracles happen every day and we miss them.”
“We may not know it because of the little voice in our head, but we are perfect. Perfect, based on our purpose and what we are supposed to do.”
Maria Mantoudakis
If you judge a fish by how well it can
fly, it would be a very bad fish.
Remember when you were a teenager, and you thought you knew everything? Now as you look back, you realize you didn’t know anything. Remember when breaking up with your first love at the age of 14 was the end of your world? Now it seems like an insignificant event.
“We all have different versions of ourselves. We look back at those old versions and wonder why we did certain things. What if we could see who we’ll be after life’s tsunamis? We can get overwhelmed with what’s going on right now, and we don’t think about the better and more brilliant version of ourselves we’ll be after the current tsunami.”
Maria Mantoudakis
In Maria’s book you’ll learn to access your true self. You’ll learn how to jump into the next phase of life with peace, joy, and synchronicity. You’ll learn fear is an illusion, and gratitude is the cure to gain a different perspective.
She is an author, award-winning motivational speaker, professional transformational leader, and personal development coach. She taught the Dale Carnegie course as a
Certified Instructor for fifteen years, and in 2017 became a Certified
Trainer in the Jack Canfield Success Principles Program. Maria is the author ofTsunami to Greatness – Unleashing the Power of Self-Love and Synchronicity to Become the Best Version of Yourself.
In her book you’ll discover how to:
Achieve your full potential by breaking the chains of negativity, pain, overwhelm, guilt and sadness
Recieve the joy, health, abundance, peace, love, and synchronicity the Universe has for you
Allow your true self to emerge

While
the world is living in a less-than-delightful circumstance, Victoria provides
tools in her book to help us find JOY despite the jeopardy.
“I have lost everything more than once. Money. Jobs, Homes. Relationships. Stuff. My heart. My soul. My sense of self-worth.
It was a big problem. And that was a big problem.
I saw myself having a big problem I had to fix. I hated myself for never being able to fix it.
It wasn’t until I began creating a daily practice of JOY that things shifted.
In fact, things didn’t shift. They TRANSFORMED. Everything transformed. I discovered the transformational power of heart-centered practice.”
Victoria Price
After a year of practicing JOY and sharing it with people, Victoria felt as though she’d discovered a magical formula.
“I thought if I could change my life into a kind of spiritual experiment, maybe I would be able to discover why a made-up practice had succeeded when nothing else had.”
Victoria Price
As a little girl, Victoria knew LOVE could heal because she’d experienced it. However, before she began her practice of joy, she forgot how to feel the LOVE which had always been inside her.
“Old fears melted away. Ancient stories lost their grip on me. I felt hope and experienced healing as never before! Why? Because all my practices had one thing in common: they were heart-centered, causing me to live as if I were living is, as, from, and through LOVE.”
Victoria Price
To fully reap the blessings of a heart-centered LOVE and JOY practice, it helps to understand the four components of practice:
Daily:Studies show that whatever we prioritize in our lives not only shifts to the top of our to-do lists, but it also becomes the lens through which we experience everything.
Deliberate:The word DELIBERATE means intentional, which comes from the Latin word for “stretching.” That is how Victoria thinks of practice – as the stretches we must do in our souls to keep ourselves limber in LOVE.
Conscious:It’s not enough to practice. To be conscious means to be present. If you are doing a heart-centered LOVE practice, but you are thinking about all the things you have to do next, then you’re not present.
Committed:This word makes so many of us nervous because it connotes pressure, obligation, duty. Try thinking of it this way instead: every day we are bombarded by fear, so if we do not commit to practicing LOVE, we will slide back into fear without even knowing it.
It was a THRILLER (reference back to Vincent Price) to have Victoria on the show. She most definitely brought JOY to Todd, me, and all the listeners of Life Mastery Radio.
