Prove-It-To-Yourself – Trial Run #1
If you have read and understood the materials on
the science of causing outcomes and the example “trial run”, you are ready to prove
to yourself that your mindful application of this science can work for you by
participating in the first of several trial runs that we will offer on this
website and in our forthcoming publications.
Trial Run
#1:
·
Ask yourself, “What
would make my life more satisfying?” and list everything that comes to mind.
·
Rank the items on
your list from “most easy to accomplish” to “hardest to accomplish.”
·
Choose an item from
the middle of your list that you estimate will take three weeks or longer to
accomplish.
·
Commit yourself to
its accomplishment.
·
Think of three
things you can do (a.k.a. “movement”) in the next three weeks to accomplish
this outcome, or at least to be notably closer to its accomplishment.
·
Do all of these
three things during the three weeks allotted.
·
If your intended
outcome is still unaccomplished when the three weeks are over, think of three
more things to do during the next three weeks and do all of them as well.
·
Continue the
sequence of three-week programs until your desired outcome is accomplished.
Keep
a detailed journal of your trial run, noting all that takes place – your
successes, setbacks, insights, challenges, impediments, frustrations,
questions, etc., and make a weekly assessment of your progress by noting how
well you have met the required principles of
·
mindful self-command
·
focused action
·
specificity of
outcome
·
neutralization of
barriers and obstacles
·
non-distraction by
competing intentions
·
having a mindset
that corresponds to your outcome’s accomplishment.
You may also report your self-assessment in the
dialog box below, and then consult the reports of others
and engage them in dialog via the accompanying discussion board, where all
concerned can learn from one another. The Project Directors will selectively
participate in these exchanges as well, to more fully detail how the science of
causing outcomes is most effectively supplied.
PLEASE NOTE CAREFULLY: The following dialog box is to use only for your
initial report of your experience with Trail Run #1, which will appear with
others’ reports are on the discussion page.
