Notice, Interrupt, Replace, Repeat

Notice, Interrupt, Replace Repeat. This is the way we build a new set of thoughts, ideas and automatic beliefs and expectations to replace the ones that keep us experiencing the same tired old complaints over and over. To begin this process we need to recognize the old lame stories that we have been telling over and over, and we need enough emotional MoJo to turn the tide.
Your subconscious mind generates your experiences out of whatever you place the highest importance on. In the language of our minds, importance is not determined by logic or reason, but by repetition and emotional intensity. Here are a few typical examples of stories that we invest plenty of time and emotional energy in…thus…providing our subconscious mind with the raw materials out of which to generate our experiences. Here are a few common stories we tell.

I’m too busy. I’m always busy. I have no time.
I was cheated on. All women cheat.
I was abused so I can’t accomplish anything in my life because of my past.
I can never succeed in life. It’s just not possible for ‘someone like me’.
I will never find a job I like. I have to take what I can get.
My father was an alcoholic. Just can’t trust men.
The ’real world’ sucks. Life is hard.

Step One - Recognize you’re telling a story : It is easier to point out the stories that other people are telling but a little bit harder to pinpoint the story you are telling. You may want to ask a friend to help with this step. Get over your resistance to giving it up by creating a new, useful story.

Step Two: Set an Intent:. This is the way to begin creating a better more powerful story.

Step Three: Create a vision of the future you wnt. Start telling that story instead
Step Four: Interrupt you story and replace that time and energy spent by talking about the vision of what you’re creating! Speak your intent powerfully into the world.
Step Five: Stop hanging out with people who continuously tell the same unhappy story. This is classic ‘birds of a feather’ syndrome and will pull you back into the mud. You will begin attracting different people in your life, people who support the new visions you have started telling.

Step Six: Create action steps and put them on a time line.

To keep yourself on the right road, hang out with people who already have some of the things you are looking to create in your own life. You can create whatever kind of life you want. To do so, it’s not enough to say a few affirmations. You MUST notice, interrupt, and redirect your thoughts behaviors and emotions enough to turn the tide. Then your new story will give your brilliant subconscious the tools to build that bright new road to the destiny you desire.

Hold a few new visions in your mind:

I can have an interesting well paying job that I enjoy.
The world is a place of wonder & possibility .
I meet people who accept and value me.

Intention and Using Your Whole Brain

Well once again I am just about to enter teaching the third week of The Intent Group and already we are having some amazing insights revelations and concree results. I am surprised and pleased by how much I get my own ass kicked into gear by participating as a group member even though I'm facilitating the program. The 'Two Minds" we have are extremely powerful when they work cooperatively, and screw up our lives royally when we don't listen to the wisdom of each inner perspective.

There are ‘two of us’ in each of us…a left brain based conscious mind with a linear focus of awareness and a right brain based subconscious with an all knowing, non-local awareness.
You are like a lighthouse, with the ‘local’ awareness being what view one can see out of one lighthouse window, while what you ‘really are’ is the entire 360 view.
Another image : consider that you are a pulsing consciousness…like a heartbeat…LUB-now we’re ‘here’ and DUB-now we’re everywhere/everywhen.
During the LUB or conscious ‘in time’ awareness we just cant hold all that other info at once so the mind and beliefs and expectation filter out much of what is available. However, in the ‘DUB’ or subconscious side of our awareness, everything is available. This is how/why you may suddenly see/know information from the past or the future. The aperture between the two sides of our consciousness is open and can, with practice, be utilized more consciously.

It's not right brain over left or left over right- WE NEED THE WHOLE DAMN BRAIN working cooperatively or as it is said..." A house divided against itself..."
And that's what's going on when we "hold an intent" and well...NOTHING HAPPENS...
we ned the thoughts, emotions and dare I say ACTIONS to be in agreement before a pile of dirt and seed can become a garden.

Imagine that for every intent, there is an already completed manifest outcome.
Your thoughts, beliefs, expectations, behaviors…are the forces that guide your inner GPS…ALL roads are already there…the ones that take you to the outcome quickly and the ones that take you there eventually and the ones that take you somewhere else completely and the ones that take you really close…but no banana…
These “roads” are the pathways through time and space that your GPS, when you put in the coordinates properly, will unfailingly take you to. HOWEVER, this inner system, run by the mind/body energy, will deposit you on whichever road best matches the existing parameters of your thoughts, expectations, beliefs and actions. This is why if you WANT something BADLY, the energy of WANTING , which is actually focused on the “not having” creates more of itself. In other words, you are unintentionally programming for the road of longing for the thing or experience. SO…the trick is to clearly image the end result as if you already have it, vividly see, taste, touch, feel how you feel with your desire fulfilled, and revel in the sensations of satisfaction this process generates. Like a magnet…you will find yourself on the path through space/time, and your thoughts/beliefs/actions etc…will become aligned.

This is a CONSCIOUS process, in which you will learn to cooperate with the vast capacity of your R-brain and it’s deep subconscious processing. Whole brain. You need the whole damn brain aimed in the right direction. It’s not hard…when you reach for a pen, pick up the phone, get out of bed, get in your car…an enormous number of alignments occur all initiated by intent. You know how to do this so quickly that it is invisible to you…EXCEPT when you just can’t seem to get something to happen…THEN the place to look is all about what is out of alignment…learn to ask what am I thinking/feeling/expecting/doing that does NOT support the outcome I say I want? When you get that piece, the rest is cake!

Anyway...just reminding myself...and you...to use your noodle...all of it...and then well...life will sort itself out in our favor.
