@ Nimo – You can only work one day at a time so that’s a great start.

@ Alan – There’s always work to do on ourselves mate, life is work in progress ;-)

@ Bill – Thanks and I agree that negative thoughts CAN be beneficial, IF we allow them to be.

BTW, toying with doing a post about my top 10 books of 09 and yours would definitely be in there.

Really great post. I’ve also realized that those negative thoughts actually have some use. First, they tell me in the moment where I’m “coming from” meaning it’s just a great indicator of what I’m creating for myself. Second, and even more useful, they help me see what it is that I want. Every negative thought has a positive thought behind it somewhere. How could you know you’re failing unless you were measuring it up against a picture you have of who you want to be or what winning looks like to you?

I think part of the key is we need to be able to see another choice of what to think, and once we see that, we move to that other thought naturally without force. And once we can remember that our thoughts are referential, then we can remember that we spend most of our time simply measuring up the world that we’ve created for ourselves up against the world that we want. With that little slight shift of attention from the world we’ve created to the world we want to create, our power can be restored. Thanks for the post.

Good article Tim. Have just been on a course this weekend where at one point we were working on a specific limiting belief.
I was amazed to find that it seems to have actually worked and I am now doing something I used to hate and avoid with gusto and genuine enthusiasm.
And I’m a coach!

The talking to yourself in the mirror bit is a challenge and like ‘M’ who commented above my answer often goes along the lines of “Yeah, ok that’s just who I am” (“Yeah right, you dont look good dude and you KNOW you’re not gonna do anything about it dontcha?”)

Still work to do on myself methinks

Thank you Tim. This hit home. I am working at being kind and gentle with myself, one day at a time.

@ Alisa – Yep, as Mark Twain said “I’ve lived a long live with many troubles, most of which never came true” Actually I think I have butchered the quote so let’s call it a paraphrase and move on, ok?

This stuff always works if people persevere with it, but most people want instant gratification and immediate results.

@ WLT – I’m hoping to run a guest post soon on EFT but I have to confess to having never heard of The Body Talk System, what is it?
