Taking Your Own Advice?

selfworks — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 19:26:00 +0000

This is a handy tool for anyone who wants to be able to trust their own intuition more fully, but has been used to relying on other people for advice, or simply is having a moment (or series of moments) of doubt about their own opinion. It isn’t a substitute for checking facts, or advice from expert sources, but is free, simple, and great for building self-trust.

It works like this.

1. The first step is for the person concerned (ie you or whoever else) to write down the dilemma with which you’re having difficulty trusting yourself.

2. Put the file or piece of paper containing the dilemma away for 24 hours.

3. 24 hours later, spend a minute or so getting into the mindset you’re in when you’re giving the best help you can to a friend . (If you’re a coaching professional or similar, you could also use the “coaching others” mindset). Really see, hear and feel how things are when you want the very best for someone else and want them to come to their own best outcome.

4. Read the piece of paper written 24 hours ago, and reply to it in an email, trusting what comes into your mind, and maintaiing the perspective from step three.

5. Send the email to yourself (preferably using a separate email address, from the one doing the sending).

6. Read the incoming email as if it was coming from a friend, and notice how you feel.

Hope this helps-and please do post any comments you have about your experience of it.

Aaaaaargh!

Aaargh, the horror of it. There I was, convinced I had all my ducks in a row (or more precisely, e-books in a line) for the latest Goodybag…when I realised that I’m not allowed to give away the majority of this clutch, but only to sell them.

Whilst I chew over this dilemma (and find more true freebies, I’ll make some extra posts.

IN the meantime, very sorry to anyonw who signed up expecting a fresh Goodybag (though I hope then now 120+ freebies in there already are some consolation).

The Freebies Are Back!

At last! As you’ll already know if you’re a subscriber, the Goodybag is back!

(Note to self…Next time, start by at least considering fixing and fire-proofing something that exists if there’s a problem, instead of assuming that new website solutions are always best…)

Anyway, I think there’s now 106 free personal development resources in there, but in any event, enjoy (or if you’ve yet to subscribe, visit:

http://www.selfworks.net/pages/free_personal_development.html

subscribe for free and then enjoy!

There may be more to say on this, but right now, I’m thinking, “weekend.”

Have a great one!
