ABOUT
It starts with YOU and inspires MANY.
The method has three basic actions: MOVE, BREATHE and AFFIRM YOUR ASPIRATION.
These three pieces are blended together into a powerful recipe for intentional improvement.
1. MOVE BRISKLY
The first piece is to move briskly or aerobically in a rhythmic manner at a pace that you can sustain for 20-30 minutes without running out of breath. Jogging, swimming, walking, hiking, stationery bike, stepper, elliptical machine, or simply going up and down stairs are all suitable ways to move when using The Method to create a better future.
2. BREATH DEEPLY
The second piece is to breathe deeply in rhythm with your movement. I found that four steps on the in-breath and four steps on the out-breath worked well for me when I was getting started. We can call this conscious breathing because we are regulating our breath so that it fits our movement. We must be aware of our breath to do this. That awareness takes place within our consciousness
3. AFFIRM YOUR ASPIRATION
The third piece is to affirm your goal by repeating it silently to yourself in rhythm with your movement in rhythm with your breath.
The wording of your affirmation is important. Consider that when you use The Method you are consciously reprogramming yourself, using words that you choose for a goal that you choose. Your word choice makes a difference.
THEN – BE OPEN TO SERENDIPITY AND SYNCHRONICITY
Serendipity means a “fortunate happenstance” or “pleasant surprise”. The number of such incidents tends to occur as we use The Method. We predict that within one month of using The Method regularly, you will experience more pleasant surprises, IF you are programming in a positive manner. If you are experiencing more unpleasant surprises, consider changing your goal and rewording your affirmation.
OUR CONCERNS
Once we begin asking ourselves what’s really important as we use the Ready for Better Method, this opening of our minds can often lead us to new sources of information. As we explore these new information sources, it is natural to expand and refine our understanding of what’s important, how things are connected and what actions we might take to move toward a better future.
The mainstream media do not have the purpose of educating us about what’s really important. Instead their objective is to attract and sustain viewership. This enables them to sell advertising that generates revenue to cover investment, expenses and, most importantly, performance bonuses. Executive compensation bonuses are what drive the vast bulk of corporate behavior. Corporations are not concerned about the wellbeing of society. Corporate behavior is driven by the bottom line measures of revenue, profit and cash flow, not the wellbeing of society. That’s the crux of the issue that we face in seeking a better future.
- expanding your own information gathering making changes in your own behavior based on the information you have gathered

POLITICS & THE MEDIA
Those who limit themselves to network news and mainstream media may not be aware they are being programmed on what to think and believe. Social media now enable an entirely different channel of disturbing information that dramatically increases awareness and understanding. This reveals the ugly picture of how the political process works to corrupt how we are being governed. Learn more, then get involved in local, state and/or national action for a better future.
