Important discovery
Do your remember a few posts ago, I told you about a study done at Stanford University? They proved how they could change a person's belief's by having them write about something that was the oppositie of what they believed. A few months later they retested the same students and found they had in deed changed what they believed in.
Eureka! It has occurred to me (the obvious) that we might be able to change our own beliefs by using the same method. Suppose you have a limiting belief, like say...losing weight, getting fit or quitting smoking is difficult. So then what you do is sit down and write an essay with a contrary opinion....losing weight, getting fit or smoking is easy. According to the tested results within a couple of months, you should have a different belief! Now would you be interested in taking a half hour out of your day to lose weight, get fit or quit smoking? If your answer is no, I don't have the time, then you have a serious problem amigo.
Say goodbye to my procrastination habit.

You know, that actually makes sense. It's one of the basic reasons hypnosis and EFT and other things work. Writing involves using the conscious AND subconscious IN UNISON and the result is often "muscle memory" type of effect where inspiration often takes over and DOES produce more.. I'm goina give that writing thing a try. EFT does that, and the writing would be nice too--- THANKS...
Yes You are absolutely right! Keeping things simple and telling ourselves that the task inf ront is easy and it can be easily achoved makes our mind thinks towards a possible solution towards the problem.
If you thinking anyting negative about the goal or problem at hand will never work unless you think its possible.
great comments, thanks for that!
