Ah, completion. It feels good.
I can remember when I was just a wee anxious thing, quivering and quaking at the sight of my own shadow. Now I have received my street degree in self-hypnosis, and I have a new, less stressful lease on life.
When I started this project, I was really not the least bit convinced that this would be any more compelling than the “Psychic Blue Dot” that appears periodically in the National Enquirer. If you concentrate and rub the blue dot, you are supposed to win untold sums of money. It doesn’t work. I assumed this wouldn’t work, either. I was wrong.
It is a subtle process. At no time did I wake up with a powerful new sense of invinsibility, but I did start to wake up having slept well, and I began to notice the absence of stress where it had always been before. I had become so used to the idea that stress would stay on me like a bad tattoo, that it never really occured to me that I could do anything more than just cover it up. It was really nice to realize that I have options.
As I mentioned, I have decided to try another script – probably the one that promises that I will “make more money” (although, I am fairly certain that this is not at all dissimilar to the premise of “The Secret.”) As with anything, if you put the intention into the universe, you will see your goal to fruition. The important thing to remember is that it also applies to negative stuff, as well. Just like the saying, “If you think you CAN or you think you CAN’T, you’re right.”
I encourage everyone to pick up a copy of the book – Instant Self-Hypnosis by Forbes Robbins Blair – and to focus on one area that you feel you could improve, and just try it. It will require stepping outside of your comfort zone, but “nothing ventured, nothing gained.” You will be surprised at how well it can work if you want it to.
In closing, thank you all for following me on my psychadelic self-hypnosis trip, and I wish you all buckets of success. The big Clout detergent-sized buckets. Gallons of it. Now, off I go to start my new “lower stress, higher quality” life!
Besides, I am getting VERY SLEEPY…
