The Four Energies of Change
Our lives are filled with habits – patterns of behavior we have created over time. Many times we create a habit and it serves us well and other times, well… our habits don’t always serve us well.
How do we break those habits, those patterns of behavior that either no longer serve us well or never have!
There are many systems out here in the Internet world. I have one, too! The 28 Days to Change e-course is designed to help you create a new mindset of success. Yes, here I go again. It all starts with your thoughts.
Thoughts are energy streams that, when thought over and over and over again, create a belief. Your actions are based on your beliefs. You believe that bee happily sucking on the flower’s pollen is going to sting you. You run. The bee does not necessarily notice that you were even around but your belief created your action of running.
Another example: Cake was always what your parents provided when you celebrated your birthday or some other accomplishment. When a cake was baked, you knew something good was coming. And, ooooohhhh! it tastes so good! As an adult, you may have mistakenly translated those experiences into a belief that eating cake will make you feel loved. You eat more and more and more because, after all, you are an adult now and you have the right to choose!
Suddenly you wonder where all that extra weight came from! What happened? Your thoughts about eating cake need to be re-examined! It wasn’t the CAKE that made you feel loved, it was the event! It’s time to break the cake eating habit.
How can you do that easily? These thought patterns are deep, stemming from childhood. Do you need to go back and erase them? Not only is it impossible to erase a thought because energy continues once generated (that will be another post), but why try to erase thoughts that are pleasing?
I suggest you REPLACE the thought pattern with something more supportive. Following are the four energies of Rapid Change. To change your thought pattern, begin with the first energy, “I CAN”, and use it begin the change.
The I CAN energy opens new possibilities.
The I WILL energy is a form of commitment to change. It still puts the change in the future but the change is closer to your reality.
The I KNOW energy begins the internalization of your desired change. You are acknowledging your power; beginning to allow yourself to live the life you choose.
The I AM energy claims the change in your consciousness, your mindset. Anchor your new prosperity mindset by claiming it through the power of “I AM”.
How to Use the Four Energies
Start with the first energy – the “I CAN” energy. Use the words “I CAN” often. Be sure to say them out loud so that your body feels the vibration of the words. Pay attention to how you feel when you say, “I CAN”. Consciously choose to believe yourself! Create statements that have truth in them and are positive.
For instance:
- I CAN choose to be happy without eating so much cake. I CAN choose to be with friends an eat something different and be just as happy.
- I CAN figure out how I am going to become my healthiest self.
- I CAN feel a little bit better today by concentrating on my breathing.
Once you feel comfortable with this energy, move to the next energy and begin using the words and feeling the power you are providing yourself.
Move through all four energies to change whatever habit is no longer serving you.
The Four Energies of Rapid Change are used in both the 28 Days to Change and the 40 Days to Change methods.

How can you know when you have succeeded if you don’t begin with a goal?
In “7 Habits of Highly Effective People”, Steven Covey used the term “Start with the End in Mind”. This phrase may have a lot more meaning than originally intended. Using the concept behind the phrase could lead the reader to an entirely new level of thinking… and that’s what the Prosperity Process is all about – creating an entirely new level of thinking.
A goal is just a definition of what you want. There are many, many studies that provide us with the results of setting goals. Generally they tell us that those people who have set goals are more likely to be considered successful than those who have not.
Does this means that it is necessary to set a goal, take actions toward that goal only and no other? Heavens, no!
Again, a goal is a definition of what you want and what you want is based on your life experience to date. For instance, if you have a nasty cold, you are most likely immediately setting a goal to get well. You may feed on chicken soup for a couple of days. You may go to the store and buy some OTC medicines, vitamins and boxes of tissue. Some people would go to a doctor. There are many paths to meeting the goal, but the goal remains the same – to feel better as quickly as possible. The goal was set based on the life experience of feeling lousy and knowing that you feel that way because you have a common cold. You know this because you have had a cold before and this is the way you felt.
You will complete the actions you choose to take and, in a few days, you will feel better and that goal will have been met. The reason I’m using this example is because there are not only many paths to achieve the goal but by setting the goal to “feel better” or “be well” or “be healthy”, you might also find new goals that are even more compelling and more rich with wonderful experiences than the original goal.
Maybe you went to a new doctor because you have been having cold after cold after cold. Maybe the new doctor found something in your immune system that no one else had thought about before and not only was the existing cold cured but your body was healed to a point that you just didn’t get colds any more. “No more colds” may not have been your original goal, but isn’t it fun to achieve more than originally planned?
This is what I call fantastic manifestation! It may be an unintended consequence of one of your actions, but wouldn’t it be wonderful? This is how the Universe works with you.
We live in this fantastic world of abundance. All we have to do to take advantage of our natural abundance is to relax into it.
I’ve opened the Center for Kinetic Change to help people relax into their success. The Center will be both brick and mortor and virtual. On the virtual side, I’ll be providing e-courses such as the Prosperity Process. Find out more at www.KineticChange.com.
Note: I’ll be running a 28 Days to Change Method beginning on June 23rd. Sign up for it here.
If you need help defining what Prosperity means to you, Jean has prepared an ebook to help you. You can find out more here.
Freedom! …or is it really?
Allowing your job to consume you makes you slave labor – even if it is what you feel you want to do. Look at the reasons you may be allowing this to happen. What is your fear? Or, if you don’t feel it is fear, why is it okay with you that someone or something else has power over you?
Sometimes it may seem okay to be “consumed” just so that you don’t have to make all the decisions in your life. If you really think about it, that, too, is a decision you just made.
You are allowing your job to dictate your time and possibly even your body. Do you sit for long, long hours at the computer / desk/ conference room meetings and such? Lack of movement weakens the body. Remember that the body houses the brain which interprets the energy some call Spirit through the mind. Having a healthy brain allows your Mind to communication and interpret the inspirations from Spirit more clearly; thereby allowing your life to be easier. You don’t have to relinquish control to Earthly influences in order to feel at ease. And… there’s the message. Stay in touch with Spirit throughout your Earth-time and your decisions will lead you to the easy life you desire.
Give control over to a job, another person or any other Earthly influence and your experience on Earth is more theirs than yours. What do you want? What do you really, really want? I’ll betcha that what you really, really want is an easy life. That’s why it is imperative to clean up your thinking and feeling so that inspiration is easily received and you have the energy and courage to follow the inspiration.
Be yourself. Be the person you know you are. Be happy with what is and think only about what you are creating. The point of creation of your easy life is now.
The importance of a PPD
PPD = Personal Prosperity Definition. Before you begin creating a proserity consciousness to magnetize your prosperity to you, do you know what Prosperity means to you?
It’s kind of like this, you can start out to visit a friend you haven’t seen for a long time in one of two ways:
- You can get in your car and begin driving – somewhere, anywhere, any direction. You may end up at your friend’s but it will probably take a long time, numerous trials and errors, and you may never arrive.
- Or, before you begin the journey, you define which friend you are going to visit, find out your friend’s address, look up a map and arrive there when you want to. Even better, you know when you arrive that you have succeeded! There you are and there is your friend.
That’s what a Personal Prosperity Definition does for you. You find out what prosperity looks like for you and then you can determine an appropriate-for-you map to your success.
How do you determine your Personal Prosperity Definition? Naturally, there are as many ways to create your definition as there are people.
The one that I created for the Prosperity Process provides four categories: Health, Wealth, Business and Relationships. The first thing we consider in creating your Personal Prosperity Definition is what you have developed into personal values. From your values we look at core beliefs and finally begin to determine what prosperity means to you now. Warning: What prosperity means to you now could be very different than you think it will be!

Russia? What’s up?
I actually opened the Prosperity Process back in 1999 to rave reviews. I built a website and people from around the world began participating in the 40 day e-mail based Prosperity Process. Then some Russian hacker decided that, for them, “prosperity” meant hacking the website and using the Prosperity Process email address to sell male enhancement products.
Now, I’m far from a prude, but that just wasn’t the image I wanted for The Prosperity Process. We are a happy group creating a great life for ourselves. And… yes… I’m sure whoever was doing the hacking thought they were doing just that by sending my database their product solicitations. They were probably also thinking their products would make people happy. But… come on!
I ended up shutting down the Prosperity Process website somewhere around 2003. With the economic meltdown and what I feel I have observed about the mental attitude of the masses, I decided to reinstate The Prosperity Process and offer it differently. Hence, this blog became the new website.
Already, most of the comments I’m receiving are coming from Russia! I don’t read Russian but I bet I know the jist of the “comments”. Hey! Persistence is definitely one of the larger keys to success. I totally grant that. However, this blog is meant to explore multiple ideas and how-to’s that create the lives we want to lead. So, for the foreseeable future, all comments will be moderated.
To pass the moderation, your comment must be written in English and offer an insight or opinion on Prosperity, how to define it or achieve it. All others will be deleted.
Let the discussion begin!
Here we go!
Hi again! It’s been way too long since I’ve posted anything because I’ve been working on my own prosperity.
I admit it. For a while I bought into the “down” economy. Yes, I did. If anyone tells you they have life all figured out, they probably do – for a little while at least. Heavens, I remember really enjoying what seemed like auto-renewing money, a great primary relationship, and life perks upon life perks. Who knew I would lose so much and give the rest away? It certainly never crossed my mind until I was in the middle of the spiral down, down, down…
So believe me, even the best of the planners, the thinkers, the meditators, the doers, the successful get stuck once in a while. Boy, I sure did. I caught the consciousness of ”lack”. Another way of putting it is that I became VERY successful at failing!
Then… I chose to bounce. Thank heavens (literally) I never hit what I would consider “bottom” although I wondered if there was a bottom!
It took total focus on coming back to the reality that is me… success unlimited. Well, I’m not at success “unlimited” quite yet but I now know I finally back on the road and I’ll be blogging about the journey. Join me!
