“You can’t change the past.”
Could this be yet another one of those seemingly true statements we’ve bought into?
Moreover, could the idea that we can’t change the past cause us to refrain from moving forward into a brighter future?
This morning I had a coaching call with a man who is writing a book. He works on it, then gets sidetracked; works on it a bit more – gets sidetracked again. And so on.
So today I put him through a 3-minute dehypnosis session.
In this session he went back into the past, to a memory of turning in a term paper in 10th grade. The teacher wrote a big red ‘F’ on the front of the paper and told him to redo it.
He refused to rewrite the paper, and he never returned to class with that teacher again. Even the punishment his football coach gave him, several laps around the track each night after practice, didn’t change his mind. To say he “dug his heels in” would be putting it mildly.
And there he was today, some 30+ years later, reliving this memory that he hadn’t recalled for a long, long time.
After 30 seconds of replaying the details of that memory, I guided this man through a life-changing visualization that rewrites the old script and changes the memory of the old movie.
On top of that, I had him picture how he would respond to this same teacher today. This took another 30 seconds, during which time there was a major vibrational shift that took place inside of him.
At the conclusion of this exercise, I asked him to relay the details of his experience with this exercise. As he spoke, both of us experienced the goose bumps that often accompany a huge shift in one’s mindset.
He was now FREE, for the first time in over 30 years, to not only change the past, but to choose a different response if something similar was still happening today, at an unconscious level. He noted that his experience, unbeknownst to him, was a bottleneck that was holding him back.
Not anymore. He’s done with that bad memory. It is now a positive one; a memory that is driving him forward.
By the end of the call, this man had half a dozen more stories to put into his forthcoming book. I can’t wait to read it.
How cool is that?
Daily Dehypnosis is powerful. It takes you out of the trance you’ve been living in and gives you unlimited options that allow you to move forward with gusto and enthusiasm.
Here endeth the lesson.
