In my most recent listening of Christopher Howard’s “Your Personal Breakthrough” I was reminded that decisions precede beliefs – we decide what something means and what we are going to believe, then we hold that belief.
Limiting decisions (and the subsequent limiting beliefs) hold us back from our true selves, our true nature and the highest & best life we can live.
Many of these decisions and beliefs were “handed” to us by parents, teachers, friends, society, the media and so on. Neither they nor ourselves are to blame, but it is now our responsibility to identify and decide consciously for ourselves what new decisions to make and what new beliefs to hold. (and be open and willing to change those again if-and-when they too begin to limit us)
Christopher Howard’s “Decision Destroyer” (in the “Your Personal Breakthrough” pack) offers a somewhat more vivid, experiential and complete process than I have undergone before – with many of the essential components being common with other processes I’ve undergone. If you have a chance to use the program, I’m sure you would benefit greatly from it.
Here is my summary interpretation of it with some deviation from my own preferred practice and my experience going through some Paul McKenna processes:
- Ask yourself what limiting decisions or beliefs you have (in a particular area of your life) that holds you back from having what you truly want
- Identify the most limiting 2-3 decisions or beliefs – that if changed would significantly change the outcomes you experience
- Once you have identified your 2-3 most limiting beliefs (about yourself, men/women, life, money, etc), select the most limiting decision for the rest of the process
- Go back in time (in your mind) to the time you made the decision and see & feel what is going on for you at the time. It may not be all that clear but just allow yourself to experience it as much as possible. See what you need to see, hear what you need to hear and feel what you need to feel.
- Look for the positive meaning and lessons (ie those that empower you and will ‘set you free’)
- Go back to just before the original incident / time where the decision was made and make a new, empowering decision based on the positive meaning and lessons
- Re-live the incident / time in your mind, but now with the new decision / belief and see how differently things unfold
- Finally, write down your new decision and repeat it regularly in the days and weeks to come
For the other 1-2 most limiting decisions or beliefs, repeat steps 4 – 8.
Removing limiting decisions / beliefs is one of the most liberating exercises I’ve undergone.
Enjoy your new freedom!!!
