Overcoming Temptations  

What's Going On? 

Everything going fine. You are on track to achieve your goal or make that change. All of a sudden you get sidetracked by temptations. Perhaps you get off work and just feel too tired to workout. Or your eating and you get desires to have a second helping. Or you are trying to make a sale and you just cannot get up the energy and presence to ask for it.  

Your inner mind can send you thoughts and feelings to sidetrack you at any time. The negatives will do whatever it can to stop you from achieving your goal. In this issue we present the "What's Going On" technique to overcome temptations.

WHAT'S GOING ON? TECHNIQUE 

1. Peace self hypnosis  

My shoulders, arms and hands are at peace.

My chest and stomach are at peace.

My back is at peace.

2. Ask yourself: What's going on? perhaps a few times. Sample answers: I am tired. Yet I must keep working. I must sell more today. OR I can't lose weight so I might as well eat it.  

3. Ask yourself: What can I do?  Take a break. Get inspired. Come back and sell and sell. OR Look into a mirror and see and feel how big my body is.  

What's happening here is that the conscious mind is using advanced willpower via self hypnosis to stay on track. Self hypnosis is advanced willpower. 

EXERCISE

When you have a temptation use the "What's going on?" method. See how well it works for you. It may take a few tries to get answers to the questions.

 Background

How the Inner Mind Thinks: The inner mind lacks critical thinking. This means it can not tell what is true or false. It can easily accept ideas and beliefs that are false. Such as "I can't lose weight" when it can be done.  

The inner mind is made up up positive and negative (painful) memories, emotions, habits etc. built up over a lifetime. In a specific area if the ++++'s are stronger, they will send you strength, peace, confidence, answers, ideas, inspiration.  

If the ------'s are stronger they will bring doubts, tiredness, desires, confusion "I want" anger, bad memories. Nobody wants this. What are these negatives and where did they come from? Past failures, stress, anger, work, family, health issues and childhood experiences are a few. 

The Inner Mind can be our enemy or our partner. The conscious mind needs to learn how it works and how to use self hypnosis so it will be our partner. Self hypnosis is advanced willpower.
