7 Reasons You Must Check Out “Notes From The Universe”
Notes From The Universe has become a phenomenal success with over 700,000 subscribers to these daily emails of wisdom. Each note is written by Mike Dooley from the perspective of the universe. On a daily basis, the universe sends you no more than ten sentences of an idea for you to think about.
These short little notes have been a real spark for me in my life since I discovered them over a year ago through Joel Browns Podcast interview with Mike. They get me to think consciously every day about what I am doing and the way I am thinking about major challenges.
It’s not difficult in life to have a whole day where you get no positive reinforcement and no positive outside influence. What Notes From The Universe will do for you is become the thing every day that creates a small amount of positivity for you, especially if you’re currently lacking in good vibes.
It’s this very idea that fuels people to read Addicted2Success on a regular basis to get the strategies that are not always available through traditional media outlets.
Mike Dooley has been asked many times why he created Notes From The Universe, and I think the quote that sums it up best is “thoughts become things…choose the good ones!”
The seven reasons you should check out Notes From The Universe are:
1. The notes lift your day
Life has many up’s and downs. Since receiving Note’s From The Universe regularly I have found that I always have a reason to smile and believe in myself. You have to make it a must to surround yourself with powerful, positive ideas that can catapult you towards success.
Even on the lowest of lowest days, you can always count on receiving a ten-second email from the Notes From The Universe creator Mike, to consciously make you mindful of everything in life that is going in your favor. It’s as if someone is secretly watching over you and writing these notes even though there is no scientific evidence to prove that theory…haha. I like to believe it none the less ☺
2. The ability to share something valuable with someone else
Once I started getting the benefits from the Notes From The Universe I asked myself the question “how would these notes make other people feel?” I then decided to try this idea out by showing two of my work colleagues that were going through a difficult time.
After signing up, both of them began seeing the importance of these notes and thanked me for lifting their day and making their life just that little bit better.
If you have been lying to yourself and thinking that you don’t have time to give to other people, then you now have a way to abolish this myth by sharing Notes From The Universe with people you know.
“Sometimes an idea as simple as a ten-sentence email is enough to help even the loneliest person realise the lies they have been telling themselves”
3. You will get a lot of wisdom
Finding wisdom through written words can be a challenge. Signing up for Notes From The Universe is a way to get a new perspective on the entire concept of wisdom. Before reading the notes, I thought I knew what wisdom was – it turns out I didn’t.
The way that each note cuts through your existing belief systems and spreads like a virus through your mind will blow you away.
The notes challenge everything you have ever thought, and they will plant seeds inside of you that you can unlock at any point in the future. Every time you become torn inside when making a decision, try reading one of the notes to see if you still think the same afterward.
4. Your confidence will be built up or restored
We all ask ourselves the question “are we enough” once in a while through many different thought patterns. When we feel we are not enough or don’t have the resources to succeed, our mind defaults into thoughts that take away our confidence.
Notes From The Universe help to reinforce your confidence and build you up. The notes are like a friend that is hardwired to want nothing else than for you to succeed at your dream. As your confidence increases from every note, you will find yourself pushing through fears that you have avoided for a long time.
5. Interesting ideas you haven’t thought of
Thanks to the Internet there aren’t too many ideas that haven’t been thought of in some way before. What you will find astounding about Notes From The Universe is that you will come across ideas that you have never heard of before.
You will be exposed to concepts that could easily be from a thousand years ago. You will learn in a matter of seconds, ideas that will be the building blocks to your success. I have had some horrific situations occur over the last twelve months, and I have found these notes to offer some rationale for the way I have been thinking.
Negative events are often reframed in some of the notes to be a must have part of the journey. You are also reminded of your intuition regularly, and you will begin to see its importance as the weeks go by.
6. Amazing writing style
If you like very different writing styles that will draw you in and become an addiction, then Notes From The Universe is for you.
The way some of the emails are written is seriously cool. Sometimes the writing style is so left of center that you have to read the notes twice to understand fully what the note is attempting to tell you. There is plenty of humor and energy too in each note which makes them even more contagious.
7. You feel like someone is guiding you
Never before in life will you feel so guided once you begin reading each note from the universe. It’s hard for me to describe the feeling and the only suggestion I can give you is to try it for yourself and see what I mean.
The notes are highly personal and not too specific so you can give meaning to the message any way you want. If you’re like me and not religious, then the notes will tap into your spiritual side and help you to seek clarity in your life.
I’ll be honest; I don’t think I had much of a spiritual side until I started reading Notes From The Universe. I would love you to have a similar experience.
***Final Note***
I am not one to be superstitious. Having said that, the timing of each note that I read seems always to align with something that happened that day. For example, I had a note about breakups on the day I was picking up the pieces from a broken heart. How does that happen? I have no idea.
Don’t get too caught up in the wah wah, woo woo of what I have written about Notes From The Universe, and just give them a try. Before I forget, I have to say thank you to Joel Brown for introducing me to Notes From The Universe…many thanks mate!
Lastly, I have a confession. I signed up to Notes From The Universe from two different email addresses so I could get double the wisdom. What can I say; I’m a wannabe fast learner that is obsessed with success. You can’t blame me, can you?

8 Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Be More Decisive
Tackling Procrastination and Indecisiveness
Hi, Joel Brown here. As the person behind Addicted to Success and Mind Strong, I’m often asked about tackling procrastination and making swift, effective decisions. It’s a common struggle in today’s world, where distractions are endless.
Procrastination often creeps in when we’re bombarded with social media notifications, breaking news, and the hustle of daily life. This leads to a fear-driven indecision, where we’re paralyzed by the thought of failure or judgment.
Here’s a video breakdown of how to stop procrastinating and be more decisive if you are more of a visual person:
Embracing Speed and Momentum to Stop Procrastination
One of the most impactful lessons in my journey is understanding the role of speed in overcoming procrastination. A mentor of mine, a highly successful individual, always emphasized:
“Success loves speed, and money loves momentum.”
This principle is crucial in combating procrastination. It’s about seizing opportunities quickly, not just for financial gain, but for the invaluable experiences and connections they bring.
Understanding Analysis Paralysis: A Key to Overcoming Procrastination
A major hurdle in decision-making is what’s commonly known as analysis paralysis, a significant form of procrastination. It happens when our decision-making process, governed by the prefrontal cortex, gets overwhelmed. To break free from this form of procrastination, try calming techniques like deep breathing. It’s surprising how such simple steps can clear a cluttered mind and help you move past procrastination.
The Long-Term Effects of Procrastination and Indecision
Procrastination isn’t just about putting off decisions; it can lead to a reduced sense of life satisfaction over time.
In a conversation I had with Tony Robbins, we discussed how the quality of our lives hinges on the quality of our decisions.
Therefore, overcoming procrastination and indecision is vital for a fulfilling life.
My Top Strategies for Beating Procrastination
- Seek Guidance from the Experienced: To combat procrastination, connect with people who’ve achieved the goals you’re aiming for. Their experience can be a guiding light when you’re stuck in indecision.
- Use Deadlines as Anti-Procrastination Tools: Setting deadlines is a powerful way to break the cycle of procrastination. They create a sense of urgency that pushes you into action.
- Accept Imperfection to Move Past Procrastination: Understand that no one is perfect, and that includes you. Accepting this can alleviate the pressure that often leads to procrastination.
Identify Your Procrastination Type to Find Solutions
Procrastination manifests in various forms. I’ve developed a quiz (find it at mindstrongacademy.com/quiz) to help you identify your specific type of procrastination. Understanding your personal procrastination style is a crucial step in addressing it effectively.
Additional Tips on Making Quality Decisions and Beating Procrastination
When it comes to decision-making, it’s important to not get too bogged down in analyzing pros and cons. While analysis is important, excessive scrutiny can lead to procrastination. Trusting your intuition often plays a crucial role in breaking free from procrastination.
Handling Major Life Choices Without Procrastination
For significant decisions in life, whether in your career or personal relationships, procrastination can be particularly challenging.
To address this, break down these big decisions into smaller steps. Assess the potential outcomes realistically to understand that often, the fear of a negative outcome is more intimidating than the actual consequences.
Conclusion: Your Journey Away from Procrastination Begins Now
To wrap up, remember that overcoming procrastination and indecision is about understanding your own patterns, seeking wise counsel, setting deadlines, and embracing your imperfections. It’s time to start making those impactful decisions and enjoying the journey of life.
Whether it’s through the Mind Strong Academy or my procrastination quiz, I’m here to guide you on your path to decisive action.
I believe in your ability to conquer procrastination and live a life of purposeful decisions.
