Well howdy folks, How is everyone doing?
I began with NB Tape 1-B today
Thought I would share and seek thoughts and comments.
After listening to 1-B I reveiewed the worksheet for diagnosing stuck states. Since I received the book NB with the PR home study course and had PR'ed it twice earlier I activated then photoread the chapter "understanding your stuck states." Although this is not necessary, it did give a little more insight to me with stuck states and stop signs.
I decided to mind map the 1st question with stuck states as the main theme and the six areas of life suggested by the worksheet as the main branches. From there I let my mind go creating sub-branches only without getting into the how's, why's, what's & for's. I discovered a vast array of sub-branches with this exercise.
Within the 1st question we are asked to seek a recurrent pattern of feeling stuck and I examined my map searching for the answer. I could not at this time find a connection between all six areas. So, discovering that some time had passed I decided to take a break and let it incubate and ate lunch.
While sitting back I realized they all did have a foundational common link leading to one specific area of life from the worksheet--Physical Wellness. I choose to converge on this with the subsequent questions.
I put on some environmental/instrumental music and proceeded the remaining questions. I recommend to others who use this course a little secret I did. Instead of doing the exercises on the worksheets in the workbook I first photocopied them and made 20 sets so that I could revise or refine each exercise for better clarity while recording the day, date and time on the exercise for future review like a diary or journal of sorts.
After completing the 6 questions I now have a clear picture of Physical Wellness from a historical perspective as well as the emotions tied to my views of it in the past, present and future.
In the past I have had some success with parts of what my desire is for the future. Simply I desire to exercise regularly, eat a nurtrional/healthy diet, (get away from fast food habits), improve my breathing oxygenating my blood which will enrichen my body and mind and create a healthier body & mind.
The 6 questions really did help me with identifying the stop signs, which are both emotional and physical. I reviewed and worked with question #6 for some time until they were refined down to 5 each that were kept to 1 to 5 words.Although these are to be used with Step 1, I decided to mind map my conclusions. Next, I will take a break for period of time, then begin Tape 2 "Realease."
Some insightful self sicoveries I experienced up to this point is 1) I found at first that there were a lot of perceived stuck states 2) each stuck state has stop signs from the past that determine our stop signs preventing the future desired outcome 3)many of the perceived stuck states were stop signs in disguise as stuck states which drew me away from the root stuck state which offered the greatest benefit to a singular life area and some or all of the other life areas.
I am excited about the next steps that lie before me. I believe that I can create a healtier mind set that will lead me forward beyond the stop signs and decrese the amplitude of the oscillations. I look forward to communicating to this forum as I progress seeking your feedback or questions.
