Hey Champion,
We've established previously that the first problem to overcome is ‘taking pain personally’, thinking that everything is directed at you, it's happening only to you, and you are a victim; well, it is not the case. We established that you could manage what it means to you, a powerful technique that allows you to develop positive mental associations with those experiences.
Second Problem: Thinking it affects every part of your life.
Let's face it, sometimes, when it rains, it pours. At times we experience a single level of adversity; other times, it feels like multiple layers at one time.
After overcoming one problem, we encounter another; this can leave you feeling like your problems are pervasive. You adopt a negative belief system, and we can go on and on..you're no good; you aren't made to be successful. You're not gifted. You're not skilled. You're a failure.
This thinking can propel you to the third problem, being that it is not fixable, which we will cover next week.
If there was one belief you need to adopt is that PROBLEMS are required. It's a mandatory life process as there are lessons you will learn that will never be taught in positive experiences.
Life has a job to do.
Lessons are taught to you voluntarily and involuntarily. Life knows what lessons are needed to help you become the person you were meant to be; these are involuntary lessons. It's lessons that we may not want but are given.
Have you ever noticed that once you've experienced some form of pain, you look back and realise who you've become due to it? Well, you're now looking at it in a disassociated way. You are feeling the positives rather than the negatives of what seemed like, at the time, a problem. You can now cope, adapt, and adjust when a situation occurs again.
Perhaps you're looking back and know it's too painful to think about, so you dismiss it because you are still emotionally affected by it. You have internalised it as a negative experience; now you believe that you are not only a failure in one part of your life, but you're also not good at something else. Ultimately those negative thoughts are shaping your life, and it's no way to live; it's time to make some positive associations.
Here is the first.
An empowering belief we want you to adopt immediately, today, now:
Everything happens for the greater good, regardless of how bad it may seem.
