Set Yourself Free In 17 Seconds Or Less
Diving Into The Deep End
When I first started transitioning from daydreaming to goal-setting, I felt like I’d fallen into quicksand. I was just overwhelmed: too many goals, and no strategy. I felt like a drowning person, flailing around. Too soon, the time I’d set aside for achieving my goals, an hour or so each day, was gone and I had very little to show for it. What was going on? This was my time to push ahead, to succeed. Why was I having so much trouble getting started?
I felt lost and hopelessly inadequate. Clearly, I was just a loser. Other people could succeed, but it was beyond me. After a while, I gave up and went back to working on other people’s agendas, helping my writing clients achieve their goals.
There Must Be A Better Way
Months went by, before I got up enough courage to try again. By now I’d identified the real problem was negative thinking. I didn’t think I could do it, so my subconscious was nodding in agreement and proving me right.
I started looking for a practical solution to negative thinking. I found Leslie Householder’s Stickman video, and read her book The Jackrabbit Factor. And I had an idea: what if I could change my thoughts for just a few seconds, once a day? That seemed like an achievable goal. I gave it a try.
