CHILDWOOD MOVIES

                                 MENTAL MOVIES FROM CHILDWOODE

          WHERE DO THESE PICTURES COME FROM? WELL, BEGIN TO DEVELOP OUR MENTAL MOVIES , EARLY IN LIFE. IF WE WERE CRITICIZED OR FELT UNWORTHY AS YOUNGTERS, WE RECORD THE EVENTS AS IMAGES IN OUR MINDS. BECAUSE WE FREQUENTLY DWELL ON THESE PICTURES, WE TEND TO CREATE LIFE SITUATION THAT CORRESPOND TO THE ORIGINAL IMAGE. FOR EXAMPLE YOU MAY STILL HOLD A VIBRANT IMAGE OF BEING CRITICIZED BY A TEACHER IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL, YOU FELT HUMILIATED IN FRONT OF THE WHOLE CLASS. LATER ON, WHEN YOU WERE TEMPTED TO OFFER YOUR OPINION IN SCHOOL OR IN A GROUP OF PEOPLE, YOU HELD BACK AND KEPT QUIET.. ALL THE WHILE REMEMBERING HOW PAINFUL IT WAS WHEN YOU WERE YOU WERE CRITICIZED. THE PICTURE REMAINS IN YOUR MIND AND EXERTS TREMENDOUS INFLUENCE OVER YOUR PRESENT ACTIONS.

           UNFORTUNATELY MANY OF US HAVE NOT UPDATED OR REVISED OUR CHILDHOOD MOVIES, SO WERE CONTINUALLY PRODUCING RESULTS THAT FALL SHORT OF OUR FULL POTENTIAL. WHAT FOLLOWS ARE SOME TECHNIQUES FOR USING THE POWER OF VISUALIZATION TO IMPROVE VIRTUALLY EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE.
