Yes, it's true...the
popular expression, "We are what we eat" makes a great deal
of sense.
Think about it, if you MOSTLY eat fattening junk food, then
your body will tend to become fat and junk-like.
And then, of course, there's my favorite expression: "Your
self-image becomes what you think and say about yourself."
This simply means that if you routinely put yourself down
with negative self-talk, then what else could you expect to
believe about yourself?
Therefore, by the same token, it is also quite accurate to
say that "We attract to us what we think about most."
That's because....Energy
Flows To Where Your Attention Goes.
By this I mean, if you MOSTLY think negative thoughts, and
you have highly negative beliefs about yourself,
your life, and your surroundings, then you will likely
ATTRACT that same kind of negative energy into every
area of your being.
That is because...YOUR
THOUGHTS,
whether positive or negative,
INFLUENCE
YOUR REALITY.
Not only do you have a choice of what kinds of foods you put
into your body; but you also have a choice of what kinds of
thoughts you allow to exist in your mind.
Negative thinking people tend to attract other negative
people (and negative problems) into their lives.
Whereas, positive-minded people attract positive people (as
well as positive opportunities) toward them.
So, which would YOU rather have in your life, positive
opportunities or negative problems?
This powerful
exercise works very much like the "Find
and Replace" function
on your computer.
Only, instead of finding and replacing a certain word or
phrase, you are identifying and then replacing a
destructive,
self-limiting, negative belief with a highly positive,
self-empowering, and life-changing belief!
This will show you how
empowering it is to make positive personal choices in every
area of your life. |
This is your PowerCount8
Protocol for
Identifying Your
Self-Limiting, Negative Personal Beliefs
and then...
Choosing to
Replace Them With New,
Empowering, Positive Beliefs
|
This powerful technique is
designed to positively enhance your sense of self worth by
clearing out the
self-limiting negative beliefs you may hold about yourself,
and about your world...and then replacing those destructive,
negative beliefs with highly positive, self-empowering
beliefs that will serve to improve your entire life!
No matter how many awards you may have won, and how
successful you may have become, there will always be that
nasty little "Doubting Demon" residing in the back of your
mind, doing his absolute best to trip you up and make you
question your abilities... and repeatedly doubt yourself...no
matter what you do to prevent it!
This Doubting Demon has been created over the course of many
years of harboring negative beliefs that have consequently
taken a firm hold within your subconscious mind.
Using this
procedure will rapidly help you to eliminate those limiting
beliefs that have been holding you back. And then will
result in your developing a whole new calm sense of self
confidence not only in your abilities, but in literally
EVERY area of your life!
Plus, in addition to eliminating any negative beliefs that
currently exist in your subconscious mind, you will now know
precisely how to instantly neutralize, and remove any new
negative beliefs that may pop into your mind---at any time throughout your life! |
DO THIS FIRST:
Make
a list of every negative emotional belief you have about yourself,
your life,
your environment, the world, etc.
Don't be afraid to add
something if it feels like a negative belief. Please try to
be as specific
as possible. And just remember....THERE
ARE NO WRONG ANSWERS!!!
Write each issue as a stated declaration phrase...and start
each statement with
"I
believe"
(see
examples)
Instead of just listing your negative beliefs, make a
personal declaration of them.
For example:
Instead of just saying "I'm
overwhelmed", declare
your deep feelings of being overwhelmed this way...
"I
believe
work
is
so overwhelming to me!"
or
"I
believe
that everything in my life is so overwhelming to me!"
etc.
I've given you
several more good examples so that you will know exactly
what you need to do.
You are welcome to use these
negative beliefs in your list, and add more of your own...
These examples are offered here to help REMIND you of many
different types of common negative beliefs.
Also, wherever you see a blank
space in a phrase, such as __________, please fill in the
blank with your own appropriate response - if possible. |
|
More examples:
I
believe I am such a big failure,
I believe I am a born loser,
I believe I am not good enough at ________,
I believe that I just do not measure up to other boys/girls,
I believe I am going to be a big failure,
I believe my friends & family will reject me if I fail at
_______,
I believe I will never find anyone who loves me as
I am,
I believe all of the negative comments I hear about myself
from others,
I believe I am very unattractive,
I believe I am fat and ugly,
I believe I am too short / too tall / too big / too small to
________,
I believe that everyone hates me,
I believe I am completely unlovable,
I believe that I don't deserve to have anything good and
positive in my life,
I believe everybody thinks I am weird,
I believe that everybody is making fun of me,
I believe I am stupid because I _________,
I believe the world is a cruel and scary place,
I believe we're in big trouble, because the news always
seems so bad,
I believe the world is so overwhelming and stressful,
I believe that since my family isn't rich, my options in
life are very limited,
I believe that everything in my life is overwhelming me,
Please add any more of your
own negative beliefs to this list. |
Optional...
|
If you have
a supportive family member or friend, they can also help you
by saying the statements, while they participate, along with
you. Yes, both of you can count at the
same time.
Frequently, having somebody else help you with this can
greatly enhance your progress.
They can also help
to keep you on track, as well as motivate you if you become
discouraged. Perhaps they can even add some additional
negative beliefs to your list that you may have forgotten.
It is common that they may also begin to feel more relaxed
and confident about themselves after working with you.
|
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
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 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...
Add
the words "Even
though"
to the beginning
of each phrase on your
list, and
add
87654321
after.
Then add the words "I
CHOOSE"
to the end of each phrase.
For example: if one of your negative beliefs is
"I
believe I will never be good enough,"
You
would then place
Even
though
in front of the phrase,
and add -
I CHOOSE
- at the end of that phrase, so it would read:
"Even
though
I believe I will never be good enough,
87654321,
I
CHOOSE"
Do that for
every issue statement in your list from above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DO THIS
THIRD:
Now, I want you to think about all of the
POSITIVE emotional beliefs that
you would gladly CHOOSE
to have in your life
INSTEAD OF each one
of those negative beliefs on your list.
After each negative
belief statement from your list, write your
chosen positive belief statement AFTER the words I CHOOSE...
For example:
If one of your negative
belief statements is
"Even though I believe I am fat and ugly,
I CHOOSE"
And your positive choice would be "to see myself as a slender
and attractive girl"
You would then add your chosen positive belief onto the end, so it would
read:
"Even
though I
believe I am fat and ugly,
87654321
I CHOOSE to see myself as a slender and attractive girl"
Another example:
If a negative belief
statement on your list is,
"Even though I believe I will never good enough,
87654321, I CHOOSE."
And your positive choice would be "to see myself as being
great just as I am!"
You would then add your chosen positive belief to the end of that
statement,
so it would read:
"Even
though
I believe I will never be good enough,
87654321
I CHOOSE to
see myself as being great just as I am!"
I've given you several
good examples so you will know exactly what you need to do.
But you will need to create
your OWN list of Positive Personal Choice Preferences
You're welcome to use these negative beliefs & positive chosen beliefs
in your list,
and add more of your own...

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 FOURTH:
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!
