Valerie's Purple Blob and Ice Cubes
Depicting An Inner Saboteur Transformed
Into An Inner Ally For Success
|
Greetings!
Celebrating a Teen's Success!
After failing her driver's test five times, Valerie gained control over her inner saboteur and turned it into an inner ally for successfully passing her driver's test.
Now, her grandfather will buy her a car, she can get the job she wants and can drive herself to school and work! Hooray!!!
Getting bad grades in school and failing tests has little to do with intelligence or ability. Much of the time, performance anxiety, worrying about what friends and family will say and limiting beliefs are what stand in the way of a person achieving their goals. This is true for young people and adults alike.
Through somatic dialogue Valerie identified her inner saboteur as a Gooey Purple Blob that resided in her stomach, that said, "You can't do it. What will your friends think?"
In a closed eye process guided by Dianne Porchia in a later session, Valerie identified another inner voice which she called her Jittery Ice Cubes, which helped to calm down the fearful, interfering Purple Blob.
Once Valerie gained the inner cooperation of her subconscious, she was successful in passing the test. Our next goals are passing with flying colors the tests in Environmental Science, History, Computer and English. Perhaps ultimately, Vanessa will achieve her desire to become an architect!
Continued work together will incorporate neuro-linguistic programming (NLP), time management, effective stress reduction techniques and creative expression, which are just a few of the tools Dianne Porchia uses in her unique approach to holistic stress reduction for adults and teens.

This is a great example of how Passing Performance holistic stress reduction training works for both teenagers and adults.
How does your inner saboteur create road blocks to your goals?
If you or your teenager have an inner saboteur operating in your life, please call me now.

Stress Reduction Tips

PROCRASTINATION
Causes & Cures
Psychological causes for procrastination are a matter of debate. Some believe it is connected to issues of anxiety, low self-worth, self-defeating or limiting beliefs, learned helplessness, disliking the task, boredom and apathy.
Research on the physiological roots of procrastination link it to the prefrontal cortex which acts as a filter for executive brain functions. Damage or low activation in this area can reduce an individual's ability to filter out distracting stimuli, resulting in poorer organization, loss of attention and focus, impulsiveness and increased procrastination.
Many times procrastination comes from an overwhelmed mind and not knowing what task to do first, so all gets postponed or avoided.
Learning effective stress reduction techniques such as meditation and visualization can help to calm down an overactive or overwhelmed mind, while diaphragmatic breathing also helps to oxygenate the blood and brain, improving memory, critical thinking and overall brain function. Learning time management and organization skills helps reduce mental stress, worry and overwhelm as you learn to schedule deadlines, pace long term projects, prioritize first things first and integrate replenishing down time to rejuvenate body, mind, heart, soul.
