Have you tried to go from depressed to excited, even with NLP anchors? I know I *CAN* but I really, really don’t feel like it. Abraham-Hicks says not to – just move up a little bit. Just try to feel a little better. That’s not nearly as hard!
Don’t let failure stop you in it’s tracks, it’s part of the process!
“Success is going from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm” – Winston Churchill
You probably think your brain is out to help you – but today when listening to Larry Crane on the release technique, I got an unsettling feeling as I recognized an idea he said in my own life.
Basically, when you recognize something is wrong – you made a bad decision, are in some negative cycle that you haven’t pulled yourself out of, recognize your motivation is waning, etc – your brain does the most UNHELPFUL thing – it makes you feel bad (or worse, depending on where you are starting from) about it.
Realizing that was true was quite a shock. See, when you feel bad… it kinda zaps your energy to make improvements.
Now once you recognize the patterns in your brain… you can decide to just set it free. To release it, to let it go. And once you stop feeling bad about making bad decisions or about.. feeling bad, you can start making better decisions and feeling good rather than wallowing.
Are you having negative reactions to the negativity in your life? Just drop it. Allow yourself to feel good… and feel the relief.
