Chapter 12. Powerful YOU
There are two kinds of people in the world (gross generalisation I know, but go with
me on this one!):
Those who look at what’s right with their lives.
And those who look at what’s wrong in their lives.Everyone has stuff that’s working and stuff that’s not working. Believe me: I have
rich and beautiful clients that are the envy of many and even they have aspects in
their lives that aren’t working for them (otherwise they wouldn’t be sitting in my
office).
You have a choice about where your daily focus lies – on what’s working OR on
what’s not working. The choice you make will make all the difference to your
habitual emotional state. It’s a matter of habit where you place your focus which
implies that you can change this focus if needed.
Journal work
Think about your life. What do you really hate about it? What are the
things that irritate you and drive you to distraction? Make a list of 10
items. When you’re done, picture those things as vividly as possible
in your mind. Now ask yourself: What feelings am I experiencing?
Where in my body do I feel them?
How does it affect me when I experience these 10 issues?Take a break for at least 20 minutes. Close your journal and this
book. Perhaps have a cup of tea and read some emails.
