The following is an outline of a plan for implementing the information contained in this report. The order in which you take these steps is not important. If you tackle the items on this list with sincerity and seriousness, you will be well on your way
- Continue to study this report.
Make notes and add anything it might be missing. (If you see that it is
missing something, please inform me!)
- Acquire and study the following
books: Cognitive Therapy and the Emotional Disorders, Freeze-Frame,
Multimind, and The Path of Least Resistance. I consider these
required reading. The other books listed in the bibliography section of
this report are optional.
- Consider keeping a daily
journal tracking your emotional states. You could also include the
following: automatic thoughts, command phrases and mood contagion.
Journaling is also a good tool for flushing out emotional garbage; when
you write about your negative feelings and moods, you externalize them.
- Begin implementing the ideas in
this report and the books listed above.
- Begin ridding yourself of your
command phrases — the destructive unconscious programs installed in your
brain during moments of emotional upset. Read the books by Wetherill listed
in the bibliography.
- Begin monitoring your automatic
thoughts.
- Observe the identification
process in yourself, especially when you identify with your negative
emotions.
- Start monitoring yourself for
mood contagion.
- Begin practicing the
freeze-frame technique.
- Use the Callahan Techniques (Thought Field Therapy) to take care of any
psychological problems you may have, such as phobias, addictions or
depression. To find out about Dr. Callahan’s books and tapes, visit his website. I (Mark Lindsay) am a certified practitioner
of Thought Field Therapy. You are welcome to contact me if you have any
questions regarding the Callahan Techniques or would like TFT treatment.
- Learn more about Idenics and
consider undergoing a few sessions. Contact Mike Goldstein at 1-800-IDENICS.
- Continue to strengthen and
expand your self-control and personal freedom.
It is the idea of emotional development as providing the greatest leverage in actualizing our full potential which strikes me as being of great significance. For, most all adult humans are quite immature when it comes to their emotions. It’s as if, emotionally speaking, they stopped growing at about the age of ten or eleven. And some of us have not even reached that far. I say this in all seriousness. The vast majority of us are grossly immature when it comes to our emotions.
And if that is indeed the case, then how can we expect to attain our full potential to any significant degree? At most we could expect a lop-sided development: for example, we may have acquired advanced thinking skills yet remain an emotional child.
It is clear that part of the task of the Personal Power Institute needs to be to teach people how to continue developing their emotional maturity.
