Do
you ever feel like you are being overwhelmed?
Or, like you have
this huge weight on your shoulders, holding you down?
Feeling pressured is a normal part of life.
However, when this pressure becomes too much of a burden in your life,
THAT is when it can become destructive for you.
While,
this
Backward8
exercise cannot eliminate your pressures in life,
it can help to change the way you respond to that pressure.
Backward8
Protocol for
Clearing Out the Power
That Your Pressures Have Over You
This powerful
Backward8
procedure will help you
neutralize and break the
stressful emotional connections you feel to each high pressure issue!
DO THIS FIRST:
Make a
list of every source of pressure you feel,
or that you expect to have in
the future.
Don't be
afraid to add something to the list if it feels stressful to you.
Please try to be as specific as possible. And just remember....
THERE ARE
NO WRONG ANSWERS!!!
Start each
statement in your list with the letter
–
I
|
I've
given you several good examples so you will know exactly
what you need to do. You are welcome to use these stressful
examples in your list, and add more of your own. These
examples are offered to help REMIND you of many different
types of common stressful issues.
You
SHOULD STILL work through all of these examples
even if they do not directly apply to your own situation.
Also, wherever you see a blank spot in a phrase, such as
__________, please fill in the blank your own appropriate
response – if possible (and if it
is applicable). |
|
What
stressful pressures do I have on me?
I
freeze up when the pressure is on me to ______,
I feel all of this pressure on me to be the perfect girl in
public,
I feel scared when I am pressured to speak perfectly as a
female,
I feel so nervous and shaky when I am under pressure,
I often feel so stressed out over ______,
I feel the need to be better than everyone else at ______,
I just cannot handle all this pressure on me,
I feel like I am being pressured to _______ as a girl,
I feel pressured to just KNOW how to ______ perfectly,
I feel like I have all these outside _______ pressures
going on in my life,
I still feel some of this remaining pressure from ______,
Please add more
of your own
stressful pressures to
this list
(you should also add non-transgender related, personal
pressures).
|
Note:
Whenever you clear out the anxious intensity from the negative
aspects of an issue, it can be extremely helpful
if you replace that negative issue with an empowering,
positive CHOICE statement (a
Backward8
Power-Phrase).
And, there is nothing more empowering than making a
definitive choice to do something. That is why this
next step gives you a positive-choice affirmation
immediately following the removal of a negative issue using
the special anxiety-clearing exercises in this
Backward8
course.
PLUS, this step will help to make it a permanent habit for
you to automatically LINK a positive thought to any negative
issue, so that whenever something negative happens to you, a
positive thought will immediately
and automatically pop into your mind –
instead of a negative thought! |
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DO THIS SECOND:
Create Your Backward8
Power-Phrases...
Write "Even
though" in front
of each of your statements,
and
add 87654321 after your statements.
Then, add the following
words to the end of your statement:
"I
CHOOSE to
love and accept myself –
at all times!"
For
example:
If your statement was...
"I feel all this
pressure to be perfect."
Your new statement would then become:
"Even though
I feel all this
pressure to be perfect,
87654321
I CHOOSE to love
and accept myself – at all times!"
Do that for every
issue statement in your list from above.
You are welcome to
modify the positive choice
Power-Phrases so they are
more applicable
to your own specific needs.
Just make sure every statement is positive, personal, and in the
present tense
(as though it is already happening now).
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DO THIS
THIRD:
Perform Your Backward8
Procedure
Remember, this works the same way as anything else, the more
counting
repetitions you do,
the better your results
will be! So...KEEP
COUNTING!
Procedure
Select
a statement from your list above, and
mentally visualize
(imagine) yourself
feeling the stressful intensity that
you WOULD feel if you were actually experiencing
that
right now, then repeat each of your complete statements as
you have written
them out (including counting backward from 8)!
Keep repeating this process for each issue until you no longer feel any
intensity from the issue!
You will gain positive results for some issues much faster
than you will for other issues.
So, be patient, and your results will come for you.
Backward8
is a process, NOT an event!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE...
It is very common for
other thoughts or emotions to pop into your mind while you are counting.
While you're doing the exercises,
you will likely discover all kinds of new, unrealized
thoughts
and emotions that may have been
buried deep within your subconscious mind for
years...
possibly even since your early childhood.
If, at anytime, while you're working through any of the
exercises in this Backward8
course,
you notice any other negative thoughts or stressful emotions
popping up, even if they do not directly
apply to the
particular exercise you're working on at the moment, then
you should write
them down,
and take some extra time to clear all of those negative
issues, as soon as possible! It's THOSE
negative thoughts
and emotions that will get in your way as you go forward in
your life!
