The Mind block

I am not a Pshycologist or any other shrink. I am just your average thinking human being,
But of late certain insights have hit me and as my friend Wayne would say " you can teach an old dog new tricks"   Actually you cannot. But he can learn it if he wants to.

What is the key here ? Choices - I can make the choice to learn new tricks - you can try as hard as you want to but if I am not interested you will get nowhere !

Ok, so what?   Any good shrink will tell you that more than 80% of your beliefs are governed by you subconscious mind.  So if I decide to try something new and there are hidden beliefs that prevents me from having faith in the venture I am lost.  Now this is in all probability the reason why so many ventures fail. It is because of these beliefs in our subconsious mind that prevents us from achieving success.

Simple isn't it ? Your shrink would have charged you around a thousand bucks to come to this point.

Ok but now I have stated the (shrinkwise) obvious.  How do we change the scenario?
I am again stating this in laymans terms.  I know I am going to get some smart replies, that is ok if it helps someone to understand this better.  See ?  I have made a statement that only Yesterday would not have been made as I believed that I am right and I really don't care what you think and I would have told you so !  What changed?    I will tell you and this is the key to the whole thing:  I made a concerted effort to not see all critisism as destructive which is in my nature.  Now this is going to need effort.  Whatever I decide my subconsious mind is going to block me if it does not fit into my belief system.  This is a universal law.

Again to get to this point a shrink would have cost a you a few bucks. Belief me.

Right ,  now we(I) found out what the problem is and where it is. Now I have to do something about it.
I have been given a little gift yesterday by a gentleman called Conray Labuschagne and I am going to try the
remedy for a month or so. Some of you might have heard of it , some not.  It is an elastic band.

It works something like this :  You put it on your wrist and everytime you conciously know or find out that your idea is being blocked by your subconsious mind you pull this out as far as you can and let go.
"bloody hell, that was sore"  Your subconscious mind will start associating that blocking or negative thought with pain and it will eventually stop its nonsense.   Does it work ?   I don't know, I am going to try it "Eina dammit, that was sore !)   See the unconsious mind does not even like you messing with it.  It is all in your beliefs.

Another few bucks to the Shrink.   To be continued......................
