Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 8

[Shannon]

People who get results that quickly and obviously from affirmations are typically people who have deep, passionate emotions and who have a very strong will and personality.  They also strongly resist what they perceive as efforts to control them.  Would you say any of that applies to you?

OK, as one of those highly resistant to subs generally (although I keep trying!) is there an affirmation that we could use to mentally prepare ourselves to embrace the subs so that they feel less controlling?

Something like:

I trust every word of this subliminal
I want to implement this 100%
I trust Shannon as a partner in this
I treat Shannon's words as if they are my own
This subliminal is my guide. This is what I want. 
I will follow and implement every instruction as if it is my own.

Presumably you'll have a much better idea of what will work.

If stuff like that was a good idea, why wouldn't I have already included it in the script?  The fact is, that's pretty much exactly what will trigger the fear that underlies the stonewalling resistance.  The key is going to be a deep dive into your inner self and younger self and subconscious to really understand the root of the issue at a conscious level so you can start making the adjustments you need to make.  That's mbeen described already, but doing that sort of thing is not something I can do for you.

If you did want to use affirmations, you would want to be communicating to the resisting parts that at the conscious level, you willingly want and choose to achieve the goals of the program, and therefore use the program to achieve those results.  But it isn't guaranteed to help, because typically the parts that are resisting to that degree are going to be irrational and very stubborn.  You'll need to deep dive internally and resolve the underlying fear(s).
