Little Glimpses of Hope
After the third session, I had a lot to process, from the 3Rs of decision-making to a better understanding of our limbic system, from consistency to reprogramming our subconscious.
But what stood out for me was the fruits of the exercises.
Writing my chores out, linking them, and reading them out loud felt a little basic at first. Surely, I could get things done; I have done it all my life! But it was the things I didn’t want to do, things I put off – those were the little chores I put on the card.
And what I realized was that as the deadline started getting near, the promise I made out loud to myself now started getting louder in my head. As Sunday neared, I found myself lying in bed and telling myself – I have got to get this done. “I promised myself, and I always keep my promises!”.
And then the joy of finally getting it done… the momentum it gave me… to keep doing more than I was supposed to. The courage it gave me to write another goal and the confidence that I would finish it. Woohoo!!
The second was continuing to write and improve upon my DMP. Until I started writing it down and articulating it, I hadn’t realized that I had no idea what I wanted. And if I can’t articulate consciously what I want, how was I expecting subby and by extension, the universal mind to know what I want?
Conceptually, I understood from reading that I had an identity that I had developed over these years. These exercises made me get in touch with that identity because I was now noticing myself consciously rewriting that identity. I am now becoming the guy who keeps his promises, who gets things done when they are supposed to, and the one who knows what he wants…
I am gratefully hopeful… Thank you everyone at MKE
