Page 121 - Taming Your Gremlin A Surprisingly Simple Method for Getting Out of Your Own Way (Rick Carson)_Neat

In my experience, it is absolutely true that people whose lives are filled
with love, prosperity, and contentment are people who like themselves,
believe in their hearts that they deserve the best, and who see in their mind’s

eye their lives evolving positively. These folks, however, also tend to be
people who are willing to take the time and make the effort to plan
constructively and to do the work necessary to get them where they want to
be.

If you carefully plan your steps to get from point A to point B, and if
your steps are realistic, and if you put one foot in front of the other to take
the steps, you will in all likelihood get where you want to go. When I help
my clients with the process of bringing about the circumstances they wish

to create in their lives, I focus with them on breaking antiquated, self-
limiting concepts of who they are and what they can accomplish, on
creating an image of where they want to be and on planning and doing.

Modifying, and in some cases throwing away, deep-rooted but outdated
pre-convictions is a challenging undertaking because it is so personal a
process, and because it has to go on right inside your very own cranium.
Let’s play with this option of just imagining it for a moment.

Writing Your Own Script

Review your responses to the fill-in-the-blank items on Chapter 7. Take

note of those items you see as having a less than positive influence on you.
Play with rewriting one or more of them in the form of an ultra-positive,
affirmative monologue. Imagine that you are creating for yourself a script
for a subliminal program that is going to be used in your own self-hypnosis.
Don’t be shy about plugging in responses that make your life seem finer

than you’ve ever dreamed possible. Do so even if it feels as if you’re telling
yourself a bundle of outrageous, self-glorifying lies. Elaborate and do so in
your own words.
