Exploring Your Possibilities

The following process if done honestly, can be very revealing; it helps replace any limiting beliefs with far more supportive and positive beliefs about any area of your life in which you feel you are struggling with, or having difficulties. Firstly, write down (it's important to commit to paper) all your beliefs about the particular area you are struggling with, at this point it is particularly important to be totally honest with yourself and write down what you really feel deep down and not what you think you should be feeling.

Secondly, when you have finished your list, take a good look at it, really examine it; you are searching for limiting beliefs. Now that doesn't mean they have to be true or not, only if they are limiting.

Third, beside each limiting belief write a newer more positive and supportive belief, as in the following examples: -

Limited Beliefs:- New Beliefs: -

It is hard to meet people. It is easy to meet people

I'll never get ahead. I'm bound to succeed.

I haven't got the time. I have lots of time.

There are no opportunities left to There is an abundance of money

make money. making opportunities.

Now using the following technique it is possible to replace the limited beliefs with the new beliefs by impressing them into your subconscious mind. Remember your subconscious mind does not discriminate or make decisions, it simply acts on the instructions you send it, and by following this technique repeatedly, you will find that you will have a whole set of new more powerful beliefs working for you.

Repetition

This technique is actually very simple, you have been using it all of your life. You've used it to learn things like your multiplication tables, learning your first language, counting. The list could go on, but you get the idea. Remember when you where learning these things, how many times did you write down and memorize, you probably don't remember, but you learnt these thing by continually repeating them and correcting yourself when you went wrong. Now you can read and write, speak your own language without thinking about it, all achieved by continuous repetition.

As an aside, before we delve even deeper into this repetition technique, I would like to quickly let you know what the 4 stages of learning we all go through to become good at anything:-

1) Unconscious incompetence. This is when you do not know you can't do it.

2) Conscious incompetence. You now know you can't do it.

3) Conscious competence. You can do it, but you have to really think about it.

4) Unconscious competence. You do it automatically, without thinking about it.

These are the stages of learning your subconscious mind goes through, think as an example of how you learnt to drive.

Just like any other new information, ideas and beliefs must be imprinted in your mind before you can use them successfully and automatically. You can do this by using a combination of affirmations and contemplations. Whilst repeating the idea to yourself, think about it, no really think about it, imagine it being real, how would you feel. Think of your mind as a garden, plant only good seeds, but remember to be vigilant, because if you sink back into your old ways of thinking your unruly thoughts and ideas, like mental weeds will soon take over.

There is a time period for germination of any new idea and belief, and it can take time. It doesn't happen overnight by whizzing over a new belief once, twice, ten or even twenty time. True imprinting is formed by continuous repetition and usually requires one to three months before the effects are firmly planted. Continuous repetition is the key here, you simply must commit to repeating your new beliefs to yourself on a daily basis at least 5 times per day, even better if you can write them down every time as well.

Remember you are trying to create new neural pathways which will imprint your new beliefs indelibly onto your subconscious mind, but quite often these new beliefs contradict the existing beliefs and it is simply not possible for your mind to incorporate any new belief unless your intention is to imprint it continuously for at least 30 days, and if you think about it, why would you waste your time with half-hearted attempts anyway, if you are going to do this you have to go the whole hog. Every new belief needs your nurture and care to help it flourish, just as you would take care of new seedlings planted in the garden, so anything less than 30 days just doesn't work. Now repeat the following...

Anything less than 30 days doesn't work.

Anything less than 30 days doesn't work

Anything less than 30 days doesn't work.

Get the idea? Then get to work.

Re: your personality type? - Hi Michelle! If you are the present-moment focused, this is your result. If it doesn't seem spot on, I'll give you the big-picture focused result. The Enjoyer of Life. You enthusiastically enjoy experiencing the five senses, creative pursuits and social harmony in the here-and-now. You are independent, socially upbeat, and enjoy creating a positive and happy atmosphere. Despite your outgoing “persona,” you are a private person and few people truly know you well). #1 Strength: Comfort Creator #2 Strength: Expressing Social Feeling 1) Comfort Creator -- Creating a comfortable physical environment. Feels the ?ve senses vividly. Adept at using objects, or ?nding or building objects, to make a physical space the most soothing to all ?ve senses. Also organizing so objects are easily found in a convenient way. Both the physical comfort of self, and others, is important. Often feel a need to ensure those close to them are warm enough, fed, rested, etc. Will easily offer help to others in these areas, lending a jacket, or offering a snack. 2) Expressing Social Feeling Setting an emotional tone, vibrant, energetic, or serious, etc. Concerned with the emotional environment as it?s happening -- the vibe of people at a party, the tone of a situation, other people?s responses. Setting the tone -- dramatic and serious, or lighthearted and a celebration. Emotional displays are important for knowing how others are feeling, whether bad or good. Someone talking in a monotone about feelings seems insincere. Feels should be shown, so they can be read by others. Your best type would be: The Conceptualizer. You are an inventive creator of logical systems of possibilities that you use to create processes, products or strategies. Socially, you are sometimes quiet, but also find yourself acting as the life of the party, especially when you get caught up in a debate or entertaining topic of conversation. #1 Strength: Generating Future Possibilities #2 Strength: Systematic/Rule Logic
