Performing
these first Emotional Trash Removal exercises in particular,
"Give me six hours to
chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening
my
axe."

This powerful exercise takes advantage of a popular dynamical
behavioral system from chaos theory, known as "The Butterfly Effect" In a nutshell, The Butterfly Effect suggests the probability of a chain of events taking place that might possibly look something like this: Imagine a little butterfly in Western Africa landing on the nose of a lioness that is stalking a herd of zebra, and the butterfly causes the lioness to sneeze...which, then, startles the herd of zebra into a chaotic panic! The ensuing zebra-stampede stirs up a huge dust cloud, which subsequently creates an imbalance in the local weather system. This weather imbalance causes a severe thunderstorm outbreak ---which crosses the Atlantic Ocean... where it then grows and grows into a category 5 hurricane; and then proceeds to devastate the eastern seaboard of the United States! ...................  Frightening scenario, isn't it? But, guess what? Believe it or not, your entire life may have been negatively affected by The Butterfly Effect! You see, it is often those small, seemingly insignificant events that happen to you early in life that can eventually grow into overwhelming, lifelong, debilitating issues. This includes any and all negative past experiences that you may have had since the day you were born. For example: Let's suppose, seven years ago, a 10 year old female soccer player missed a game-winning kick that would have won the championship for her team. Naturally, this girl felt devastated for letting everybody down. Today, that same girl is playing on her high school soccer team, and even though that kick she had missed occurred seven years ago, literally EVERY TIME she thinks about it, or imagines herself missing that kick, her subconscious mind automatically ACCEPTS that particular memory as though it was actually HAPPENING TO HER RIGHT NOW...ALL OVER AGAIN! This is because, the subconscious mind does not have the ability to distinguish between what is true and what is not true. It cannot tell the difference between something that has actually just recently happened, and what is just the memory of the past event. Therefore, even though the incident may not actually be occurring right now, the subconscious mind only accepts her memory of the event as though it really is happening again....right at this very moment. Now, every time that high school soccer player is faced with having to make a clutch game-winning kick, those nasty negative thoughts and memories of HOW SHE FELT when she missed that kick come racing back. And now, instead of kicking the ball perfectly, she just tenses up at the worst possible moment! So you can see that even though that missed game-winning kick happened seven years ago, the anxiety that she experienced from missing that kick will negatively affect her for the rest of her life! Even ONE negative event like that could quite possibly shape that YOUR entire future, as well! It is the recurring negative anxiety that builds and builds from that one event which could have an ever-lasting, residual negative effect on your life, thereafter. But, here's the GOOD news... It's NOT TOO LATE...to stop the negative effects from those earlier experiences! These exercises will help you clear out the anxiety, stress, anger, grief, pain and other anguish you may still be feeling today, even though the negative incidents may have occurred many years ago! PLUS, you'll feel more comfortable with allowing yourself to forgive any persons who may have contributed to each negative situation, such as the person who stole your date for the prom...at the last minute. Remember that by forgiving someone, you are not acknowledging that what they did was right, instead it's saying that you are no longer going to allow what they did to influence your life. |
As Nelson
Mandela once said,
"Being angry with someone is like taking poison...and then waiting for the other
person to die."
A nice benefit you will
typically gain after you have forgiven others, is that you will often notice
many
unexpected wide-scale positive changes taking place in your life. You'll soon
see just what I mean.

Here you will use the
Power-Count8
Exercise for
Clearing Out
Any Residual Anxiety Remaining From
The Negative
Experiences Throughout Your Life!
You may have
heard of some health related products on the market that help you to 'cleanse
your colon' of the
harmful toxins that build up in your colon, and can even weaken your immune
system.
Well, now you are going to learn a simple technique that can essentially 'cleanse
your subconscious mind' of the
negative emotional memories from any unpleasant experiences you have had
throughout your life.
This procedure shows you how you can reverse the harmful emotional effects from
any
negative events you've experienced from your early childhood to the present
day.
Soon, you will begin to notice a real improvement in how you feel about
yourself, and your life!
DO
THIS FIRST:
Identify, and make a list of every
negative event or issue that you've
experienced throughout your life
(all that you
can remember)
that
caused you any
stress, fear, anger, hurt, pain,
grief, frustration, disappointment, or anxiety.
Do NOT include any negative
sports-related
experiences you've had!
Negative sports-related experiences will be tackled in the next module in this course.
|
Please try to be as specific as possible. And just
remember.... THERE ARE NO WRONG ANSWERS!!! Start each statement in your list with the letter -- I I've given you several good examples so you will know exactly what you need to do. You are welcome to use these stressful examples in your list, and add more of your own. These examples are offered to help REMIND you of many different types of common stressful issues. You SHOULD STILL work through all of these examples even if they do not directly apply to your own situation. Also, wherever you see a blank spot in a phrase, such as __________, please fill in the blank your own appropriate response - if possible (and if it is applicable). |
If you're not able to come up with at least 100 negative things that you've
experienced
during your life, then you're NOT really trying!!
|
What negative events or issues have I experience that made me feel anxious, hurt, or sad? I feel so ______, because my pet ______ just died, I feel so ______, because _______ just passed away, I still feel so _______ after being assaulted by _______, I feel so ______, because ______ yelled at me, I feel ______ after my best friend _______ me, I still feel so ______ after nearly drowning in _______, I feel so _____ after falling down in front of ______, I feel so ______ after making such a fool of myself when _______, I feel so _______ after doing _______, I still feel so ______ after being in that accident on _______, I feel so ______ after having ______ done to me, I feel like I let ________ down when I _______, I feel so ______ after reading these awful comments about me on _______, I still feel so _______ after being called _______, I still feel some of this remaining _______ from _______, Please add more of your OWN stressful or traumatic life experiences to this list. |
NOTE:
|
Whenever you clear out the anxious intensity from the negative aspects of an issue,
it can be extremely helpful if you replace that negative issue with
an empowering, positive CHOICE statement (a.k.a. a Power-Phrase). And, there is nothing more empowering than making a definitive choice to do something. That is why this next step gives you a positive-choice affirmation -- immediately following the removal of your negative emotions, caused by a negative issue, using the special anxiety-clearing exercises in this course. PLUS, this step will help to make it a permanent habit for you to automatically LINK a positive thought to any negative issue, so that whenever something negative happens to you, a positive thought will immediately and automatically pop into your mind -- instead of a negative thought! |
DO
THIS SECOND:
Create Your
Power-Phrases...
Write
"Even though"
in front of each of your statements.
Then, add the following
words to the end of your statement, and
add 87654321 after your statements:
"I
CHOOSE to forgive myself for feeling this way, and I forgive everyone else
involved."
For example: if your
statement was...
"I
feel so hurt from being yelled at by ______ when I was 10."
Your statement would then become:
"Even
though
I feel so
hurt from being yelled
at
by ______ when I was
10,
87654321
I
CHOOSE to forgive myself for feeling this way, and I forgive everyone else
involved."
Do
that for every issue statement in your list...just like I have in the examples
below:
Even
though
I feel so ______,
because my pet ______ just died,
87654321
I CHOOSE to forgive myself for
feeling this way, and I forgive everyone else involved.
Even though
I feel so ______,
because _______ just passed away,
87654321
I
CHOOSE to forgive myself for feeling this way, and I forgive everyone else
involved.
Even though
I still feel so
_______ after being assaulted by _______,
87654321
I
CHOOSE to forgive myself for feeling this way, and I forgive everyone else
involved.
Even though
I feel so ______,
because ______ yelled at me,
87654321
I
CHOOSE to forgive myself for feeling this way, and I forgive everyone else
involved.
Even though
I feel ______ after my
best friend _______ me,
87654321
I
CHOOSE to forgive myself for feeling this way, and I forgive everyone else
involved.
Even though
I still feel so ______
after nearly drowning in _______,
87654321
I
CHOOSE to forgive myself for feeling this way, and I forgive everyone else
involved.
And so on....
Do
that for every issue statement in your list from above.
You are welcome to modify the positive choice
Power-Phrases
so they are more applicable to your
own specific needs.
Just make sure every statement is positive, personal,
and in the present tense (as though it is already happening now).
.
DO THIS THIRD:
Perform Your Power-Count8
Procedure
And remember, this works the same way as anything else, the more repetitions
you do,
the better your results will be!
|
. |
IMPORTANT:
.
|
You SHOULD STILL
work through EVERY example
I've given you...even if that issue doesn't directly apply
to your own situation. |
This
PowerCount8
methodology is so forgiving that you literally cannot get it wrong.
As long as you
are counting backward from 8, while you're concentrating on an issue,
it's working for you!
So, just keep counting everyday! It WORKS!
