Negative thoughts can over ride your free will and take control of your life in ways that are destructive to you. They behave like “negative affirmations” that operate independently of you and leave you feeling like a captive and helpless victim of the destruction they reap. If you’d like to reclaim ownership and control of your mind and your life then this will interest you.

A common and popular strategy for dealing with this barrage of negativity is the use of positive affirmations. Such affirmations are believed to “reprogram” the unconscious mind in a positive or beneficial direction so that one can feel more in charge of themselves and the course of their lives.

Unfortunately, this approach has some significant draw backs. Firstly it requires that the individual repeats these positive affirmations to themselves on a regular and ongoing basis. This is done to offset the pervasive pressure of the negative thoughts that emerge from within also on a regular basis. This implies that one must be forever vigilant or on guard.

Secondly, this approach never addresses the source of the negative thoughts nor does it provide a solution to actually diffuse them. Thirdly, what is often missed is the fact that the positive affirmations are only a response to the negative thoughts which precede them. In other words the latter are always one, or two, steps, ahead.

Hence much of the individual’s time, energy and effort must go into warding off negativity that always seems to have the upper hand. Sadly this leaves little time to be or live in the moment. Is there another more effective solution to dealing with this negativity? Yes!

What is that you ask? Well, why not simply stop the negative thoughts once and for all?

Is that possible, you ask? If so, how can one actually achieve this?

Well, in order to do so one must ask another question first i.e. where do those negative thoughts originate from in the first place?

Now some of you have become so accustomed to harbouring such thoughts that you have likely convinced yourself that they come from you. Well would it surprise you if I said they originate from within you but don’t actually come from you? What do I mean by this?

Those negative thoughts arise from the way you have been conditioned to view yourself, others, and the world around you. Conditioned by what, you ask? Well by the negative events in your life that are now stored inside your unconscious mind and body as negative memories.

Those memories behave like little factories that spew out negative thoughts and emotions i.e. “mind pollution”, on a regular basis that filters into your conscious mind disrupting your peace of mind and your mental performance big time.

It is now possible to permanently put those factories out of commission by erasing/extracting the memories associated with them for good. This is akin to literally “de-conditioning” or “de-programming” or “de-hypnotizing” you so that you can reclaim ownership and control over your mind and life once and for all.

The wonderful thing about the coaching process that accomplishes this is that once those memories are gone, they will never return. That means that you will not have to do any ongoing “homework” to keep yourself in balance. It means that you can simply go on and live your life. Sound hard to believe? Well, it may be because so many of you are so used to doing homework that it has “become” your so called way of life.

This approach of course will open you up to reflecting on new and creative ways to expand your life experience.
