Power to Let Go</span> <br /> <br />Before you can change your life, she said, 'first you have to - <br />Giveup the negative patterns holding you down. <br /> <br />The process - <br /> <br />a) Recognise the -ve and +ve. <br /> <br />b) Be prepared to change the thought patterns to more beneficial ones. <br /> <br />c) Put closure on the negative patterns through letting go of them by whatever processes are necessary. <br /> <br />d) Make a definite decision to leave behind those patterns and a committment to keep to that let go. <br /> <br />e) Start again with ONLY these positive thoughts and patterns. <br /> <br />f) And so travel light into the future. <br /> <br /> <br />She continued saying it all stemmed from our Mind. <br /> <br />We could become Master of our mind or its Slave. <br /> <br />One led to Freedom and the other to being our own worst enemy. <br /> <br />She went further into helping us recognise these negative and positive thought patterns that had to be discarded as over-weight baggage. <br /> <br />Thoughts that were bringing about the following patterns were:- <br /> <br /><strong>Positive Negative <br /></strong>Stillness Persecutor <br />Calmness Anger <br />Quietness Lose self respect <br /> <br />Conditioning, she said, arose from the following cycle - <br />1. thoughts, <br />2. words, <br />3. actions, <br />4. habits, <br />and then became part of our character. Therefore it was vital how we used this cycle for creating positivity or negativity. <br /> <br />Waste thoughts lead to worry, anger, resentment and depression. Lack of self esteem and an inability to love or appreciate others. <br /> <br />Her main point was we do not need to wallow in these negative thought patterns, and we have to take strong affirmitive action to pack them up. <br /> <br /> <br /><span style="font-size:130%;">2.
