Is your progress really slow? There is a thing in business and personal growth called the flywheel effect. A huge flywheel takes a lot of effort to get it to start spinning. As it starts to spin faster (growth becomes more streamlined) the amount of effort required to keep it spinning decreases and after a while it takes a small pulse of effort to keep it going. You're still in the effort phase. Soon you'll be flying in every aspect of your life! Just keep on going
This is absolutely whats happening to me right now. Sometimes I forget to keep going when it gets really difficult, but that's when the results really show. Thanks for reminding me Brightike.
Something rather miraculous happened today. I got mad at my negative beliefs in a pretty funny way. I was reading this article by a lady named Katie Byron (awesome lady) where she stated something along the lines of "Once you've investigated your beliefs and questioned them, you don't let go of it, it lets go of you."
I began thinking "These good for nothing negative beliefs! I've cherished you and taken care of you for years and now you're going to abandon me!?" At first I was legitimately mad. In the back of my head, through the years the only thing that was constant was my negative beliefs and thoughts. If you spend enough time with anything you grow fond of it. Then I realized "Wait a minute! Aren't these the same beliefs I've been working to change all year?"
I found it really funny that in the end it was me trying to hold onto the negative beliefs and not the other way around
If you guys are looking for an alternative releasing method try The Work by Katie Byron. I've been trying loads of releasing methods and this one shows great promise.
Peace out.
