Last year as most of my years since training in hypnotherapy and NLP have been, are extremely busy, and by the time I am going to sleep at night, I just remember that I forgot to do a blog. Some people are bored with blogs, but for some it is a way of getting those thoughts down. Many successful business people use a diary, and they can reflect on the past and learn from it.
Have you ever reached a stage in your life where you think you know all you can or need to know about a subject? I don't think I will ever know all I really need to know about the human mind, or more specifically each and every human mind that I come into contact with. Although our brain is wired up the same way as others, we all think in different ways, due to experiences we have had in life. If someone is successful in life, it is fairly obvious that they are running thier brain in the way that is most useful for them. They may report that they feel at peace with the world, and even when things don't go well for them, they accept it as a natural way of life and that things will change yet again. They are optomistic people, who can usually see good happening to them in the future. They look back at the past and are aware that sometimes it did not go that well, but they got over it and moved on, because that is the only way to be, the future is what is most important to us.
Some people are stuck in the past and can be described as 'carrying baggage'. That reminds me of the time I lived in Liverpool and was going on holiday with my parents to Ireland. We were catching the ferry from Liverpool dock and the walk was considerable. My father was ill and could not carry anything heavy, and my mother did not carry heavy things, so it was left to me to carry two very heavy suitcases, or perhaps I just volunteered. For two days my arms felt as though they had been torn from the sockets, and I could barely raise my arms. I was only 12, and I am sure that if a 12 year old was seen carrying two very heavy bags today, it might get reported to social services, but such was my burden at that time.
the point is, although I can remember carrying the bags, I am not now, and my arms recovered sufficiently enough for me to carry much heavier things through my life. I like to think I am strong enough to do such things.
When will you put the bags down and let go of them and forget abot them?
