To be honest, I don’t know the answer to that question!
I has been something has, errr… ‘plagued’ me is the best word I think, for a long time now and recently it began to bug me more than usual. It probably has something to do with the timeline therapy I had a few months back.
For those of you who don’t know what timeline therapy is, the simplest way to describe it would be as a form of hypnosis where you mentally travel back to parts of your past where a specific emotional incident occurred that imprinted a particular way of thinking that is no longer beneficial to your life.
You allow yourself to experience that moment, but from above so that you do not become emotionally involved in that incident again. You let your higher self/subconscious mind acquire the learnings from that time and bring them back to the present.
It is an excellent method of releasing some of the limitations you have put on yourself throughout the years, but what also happens is that you become aware of an incresing number of different issues you were not aware of!
I guess it’s kinda like peeling an onion, you know… layer, layer, layer. Perhaps peeling one layer makes things easier for a while and peeling another layer makes things harder for a while, but at the end of the day you don’t get anywhere unless you try.

One of my biggest excuses when it comes to why I have not ‘x’ or achieved ‘y’ is my memory.
I think about all the things I have learnt so far on my journey and I wonder why i neglect those learnings. For example, I mentioned my mum giving me an audio book when I was younger and the one learning that stood out was the advice to ‘go and sit quietly’ whenever a difficult problem arose in my life.
This is an easy thing to do when I am in a calm and reflective mood but during particularly stressful times, sitting down and wasting valuable action-time seems like the last thing that would help. Of course I know deep down that it is the best option, but I forget that I know this during the times I need it most!
A couple of months ago I listened to an audio book called ‘The Slight Edge’ by xxxxxxxxxxx which discusses the benefits of making small changes that gradually build up into noticable differences. I think an important point is actually noticing the small things and realising that they are just as vital to your development.

Hello!
Welcome to my self development journey.
In this blog I will be sharing my personal thoughts, feelings and discoveries as I progress through this world of ours. I have had an interest in personal improvement since my mum gave me a Brian Tracy audiobook when I was twelve.
The only thing I distinctly remember from that was the phrase “go and sit quitely”. Whenever you needed to find the answer to a question, Brian suggested finding a quiet spot away from television, music and all the hussle of daily life and just sitting down for up to an hour. The answer will come to you.
