Let me ask you....

Is THIS how you normally are?



But, THIS is how your coach & others WANT you to become?




PowerCount8 Protocol for
 Clearing Out Your Fear of Being Aggressive
 
(but ONLY) When You Need To Be
 
 
Here you will use the PowerCount8 procedure to get rid of any fears you have
 about being aggressive during practices and competitions!



IMPORTANT NOTE:
Granted, this exercise is designed to help you to become more aggressive.
However, it is meant to help you acquire a "friendly" form of aggressiveness for
competitive purposes, ONLY. This exercise is NOT meant to take away your normal love,
respect, empathy and compassion that you already possess for yourself and others.


It is perfectly alright for you to retain your normal lovable panda bear-like personality
for 99 percent of the time; and become an aggressive grizzly bear during competitions
(either sports related, or any other kind of competitive activities throughout your life)! ;-)




 
 DO THIS FIRST:
 
Make a list of every concern or fear you have about being aggressive.

 

Don't be afraid to add something to the list if it feels right to you.

                                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).

 

 

What thoughts are going through my mind that cause my fear of being as aggressive as I need to be?

I often feel stressed out when the coach makes us play so aggressively,
 
I worry about losing my technique if I have to be so aggressive all the time,
 
I often feel anxious about getting hurt if I am overly-aggressive,
 
I often feel anxious about the hurting _______ if I am too aggressive,
 
I feel so anxious about our overly aggressive coach,
 
I worry about _______ breaking something,
 
I feel so intimidated by the aggressiveness of _______,
 
I feel like the whole opposing team is against me,
 
I often feel like I just don't measure up to the aggressiveness of _______,
 
I often feel like I'm not good enough, when compared to _______,
 
I keep doubting my ability to be aggressive at ________,
 
I don't feel very confident in myself and my abilities when it comes to ________,
 
I don't know if I can be aggressive enough for _________,
 
I just don't know if I can __________,
 
I don't think I want it badly enough to ___________,
 
I feel like such a big loser, because ________ is so much more aggressive than I am,
 
I don't feel like I deserve to win another ________,
 
I feel like I am not worthy of having good things in my life, because I am not aggressive,
 
I still feel some of this lack of aggressiveness,  

 
 
Please add more of your own examples 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, and
add 87654321 after your statements
.
 
 Then, add the following words to the end of your statement:
 
"I CHOOSE to see myself as being able to switch on my aggressiveness -- whenever I need to!"
 
 
 For example:
 If your statement was..."
I feel afraid to be as aggressive as some of the other players on my team."
 
Your new statement would then become:
 "Even though I feel afraid to be as aggressive as some of the other players on my team,
87654321

 I CHOOSE to see myself as being able to switch on my aggressiveness -- whenever I need to!"

 
 
 
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!
 

     .
  Step 1

Select a statement from your list above, and mentally visualize (imagine) yourself feeling the stressful intensity that you WOULD feel if that issue was actually happening to you right now!


 
 Step 2
Notice how much stressful anxiety you feel when you imagine yourself actually being exposed to that issue. Then, give that level of stressful anxiety a number rating between 0 - 10...
(with 0 meaning that you feel no anxiety; and 10 meaning that you feel extremely high anxiety).

Write this number next to that statement on your list.



  Step 3
Concentrate Deeply on the issue, and count backward from 8, until your emotional distress has
been reduced down to nothing
(or when your number rating drops to ZERO)!

You will need to CONCENTRATE DEEPLY on how each issue makes you FEEL (that means --
getting your anxiety soaring to high levels)...then counting backward from 8.
Remember to take a DEEP breath in through your nose,
and exhale slowly through your mouth!

    
REMINDER...

If there are any examples listed that do NOT cause you to feel any anxiety or stress, then
simply clear through each one of those examples as though you DO feel (just pretend) anxiety and
stress from them. Count backward from 8 for each one of those examples. Doing this will help to insure
that you will be less likely to be affected by those issues at some point in the future!



   Step 4
Now, check to see how you feel about that issue. Notice if the anxiety you now feel from that issue has decreased from how it felt before you started. If you still feel some remaining anxiety from the
issue, give it a number on the 0 - 10 point scale. If it is above a 0 (zero), then you should do additional rounds of the backward counting.
Your goal is to reduce your anxiety all the way down to zero (no anxiety remaining) by repeating this process.

Keep repeating this process until you no longer feel any anxiety from each issue you've listed.

Doing this will break the neuro-connections between the negative THOUGHTS
in your mind, and the
FEELINGS in your nervous system - throughout your body!


        You will gain positive results for some issues much faster than you will for other issues.

  So, just be patient, and your results will come for you.
This is a process, NOT an event!



IMPORTANT:
.

You SHOULD STILL work through EVERY example I've given you...even if that issue doesn't directly apply to your own situation.
There often tends to be some commonality between many of the various negative issues. Therefore you will also gain tremendous benefits by clearing EVERY issue example listed above. The more unwanted neuro-connections you break, the overall better you will feel.


Doing this will help to insure that you will be less likely to be affected by those issues at some point in the future!

It is this repeated use, while concentrating on the issue, that gradually weakens and reduces your stress and anxiety levels down to zero:
Repeated counting weakens the amount of emotional intensity you feel from your negative issues. Each round whittles away more and more of the negative emotional connection between your brain and your body, so that the negative emotions will no longer have any affect on you.

And then, we basically "rewire" your brain by replacing that negative thought with a positive affirmation, which we 'cement into place' by repeating over and over. This is VERY effective!

                        
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



                                                                 
                    NOTE...

It is very common for other thoughts or emotions to pop into your mind while you're backward counting.
While you're doing the exercises, you will likely discover all kinds of new, unrealized thoughts and emotions that may have been buried deep within your subconscious mind for years...possibly even since your early childhood.

If at anytime, while you're working through any of the exercises in this course, you notice any other negative thoughts or stressful emotions popping up, even if they do not directly apply to the particular exercise you're working on at the moment, then you should write them down, and take some extra time to backward count for all of those negative issues, as soon as possible!

     It's THOSE negative thoughts and emotions that will get in your way as you go forward in life!


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!
