you create your own set of principles to support the way you
really want to be. You need not carry around redundant or
even destructive belief systems belonging to someone else.
You can create your own empowering set of beliefs instead.
How many of us carry around baggage that really belongs to
someone else? Because our beliefs are principles that we hold
entirely within ourselves, they are completely under our
influence. We do not have to be limited by patterns of the
past; we can write our own lifescript.
There are several ways to do this. One way is to presuppose
that you do hold beliefs that, although new to you, are more in
line with the way you want to be. Alternatively, NLP gives you
the techniques to rewrite your own history. Because your
unconscious mind does not know the difference between what
is real and what is imagined, you can imagine the past you
would prefer to have had and rewrite your memories. This
comes from the belief that knowledge, thought, and memory
are the result of sequences and combinations of ways of
filtering and storing information. By knowing what sequences
and combinations of thought patterns we are using, we change
how we represent the memories we hold. We can influence our
memories to support us in the way we would like to be now as
opposed to the way we happen to be. This is a mental agility
