“Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled success. A whole, clear, glorious life lies before you. Achieve! Achieve!” ~Andrew Carnegie

In my last entry, I was talking about the pain that I was causing myself and wondering why.  I had set my unconscious mind the task of giving me information about this issue.  Here is the download from my unconscious mind to my conscious mind:  I keep remembering this issue and feeling pain about it because my unconscious mind wants me to be safe in the future and does not feel that I have prepared myself sufficiently to feel safe should this happen again. I would have to agree!

In other words, the positive intention of this behavior – an unpleasant memory coming up again and again and then my feeling bad about it again and again – this behavior is happening to serve me.  This behavior, if I temporarily view it as a separate aspect of myself, is trying to help me.  Once I have satisfied the requirements of this aspect of me, then the behavior should go away.

(I realize that I am throwing a whole structure of beliefs and presuppositions at you – many of which would take hours to fully explain.  Here is the best way that I know to start you off in the study of NLP, other than taking certification courses: read a good book.  Years ago, when I was first sent on the mission to study NLP by a nearly magical executive recruiter, someone who was so good at his job that it literally seemed like magic to me, I started by reading a book about NLP.  I started by reading “Heart of the Mind” by Connirae Andreas and Steve Andreas.  This is still a good way to start.)

I’ll talk more about positive intentions and seemingly unpleasant aspects of behaviors another time.  For today, consider reading some NLP – I know it would serve you.  For me, as soon as I recognized that this behavior and the unpleasant feelings associated with it, had a positive intention for me and I could agree with the positive intention, then I started to feel better immediately.  Now I am taking steps to mentally prepare myself should the same situation happen again – with poorly-evolved coworkers.

What am I working on today to make money online?

  1. I am making a blog post.
  2. I am reviewing 3 weeks worth of my blogging coaching.
  3. I am installing some new plugins into my blog.
  4. I am continuing to look for new and targeted followers on twitter.
  5. I am making 3 tweets on twitter.
  6. I am reviewing my vision of my intended future to stay motivated.
  7. I have added more notifiers to my blog so that when I make a new post, more services are notified.

That’s it for today.  Sorry if this entry seems complex – it probably is too much information without enough background.  I really do encourage you to explore NLP, there are lots of great ways to begin that process.  I know for me, my initial study of NLP and then the dedicated time I invested in training; all of this totally transformed my life then and my life now.  I am still grateful for being sent on the mission to explore it, almost exactly 20 years ago today.

Till next time faithful reader…Jack
