20 Sep I walked on hot coals, barefoot

I’m looking in front of me, with 8,000 people watching me. As I approach the coals barefoot to take my turn to walk across them, I can feel the heat and the smoke that has filled the air. I’m feeling a mixture of excitement, anticipation and fear, fear of what if I burn myself. It’s now my turn and I’m standing 10 centimetres from the hot coals and I’m thinking, am I really going to do this? The only other time I have been this close to coals is when I’m cooking shish kebabs at the family bbq. I’m standing ready to make my move, I get myself into a peak state of mind and take the first step and don’t look back. Before I know it I have walked 3 metres across hot coals burning at over 500 degrees. I step away and think ‘what an achievement if I can walk on hot coals, imagine what else I could do’. What that experienced was to focus on what you want, not what you don’t want, in this case, I was focusing on getting to the other end of the coals without burning myself.

I attended the Unleash the Power Within event held by Tony Robbins over the weekend and walking on hot coals was one of the exercises we did over 4 intensive days. The exercise was not to see how long you could last on hot coals or if you could walk on hot coals, the exercise was more about overcoming fears. Before the event, I didn’t know what to expect and I thought I would be leaving the event motivated, but it was more than that, not only did feel motivated, but I felt refreshed, more in tune with myself and definitely with more information about how our body and mind work.

My thoughts about the event are that it can be life-changing for many people and it can also be a waste of time for many people, but like anything in life it’s what you make out of it. As a result of the event, I did make 2 decisions that I will be sticking to and these decisions will improve my personal life and my business. I will keep you all updated with this.

If you are interested in attending a Tony Robbins event, I know he does come out to Australia every year around September. The tickets for the 2019 event are currently 2 for 1 if you would like to know more reply to this email and I can send you the details.
