Controlling Your Bob




 Good morning followers!!!

    I don't know how many of you have seen the movie, "What About Bob?", but I'm going to use an excerpt of it to introduce this tool.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JI1SLqq3BQo&list=PLpxRzCf0gOr5Y5Xww6TmTMsvZBD6ySVg9&index=12


This tool giving your thoughts a name, in this case, Bob, is one of my favorites! This is one of my favorites! I'm covering it in the Course, "Law of Attraction" for my Master Spiritual Life Coach Certification through "Transformation Academy".

Here is how to take power back from your "Bob":

1. IGNORE"BOB": Don't take your "Bob" SERIOUSLY!!! When he or she starts hopping on that negative doom train, imagine "BOB" in has an ANIMATED VOICE or is WEARING A CLOWN SUIT OR LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER RIDICULOUS CARTOON CARACTER. "BOB" isn't you, and moreover, doesn't KNOW what he's talking about!!!

2. PROTECT "BOB": "BOB" can be easily influenced, so ALWAYS ask yourself if YOU really BELIEVE it's CREDIBLE what it's SAYING. Pay CLOSE ATTENTION to any thoughts that sound uncannily similar to things other people say, like your parents, the media, and authority figures. CHOOSE what you EXPOSE "BOB" to WISELY, because he's apt to not only BELIEVE IT BUT REPEAT IT!!!

3. OBESERVE "BOB": As often as you can, get in the habit of watching your "BOB". Notice what it's thinking about. And if you don't like what it's THINKING about, CHOOSE A NEW THOUGHT!!! YOU ARE IN CHARGE. This becomes especially important if "BOB" is Thinking " about what YOU don't want or something that causes YOU to worry.

It takes time to get control of your BOB. Sometimes BOB will get into tangents of negative thought patterns. You'll have to smack BOB on the HEAD and call him out on his behavior. At this point, you realize, you have the POWER and CHOICE and PICK a BETTER FEELING THOUGHT. The more you OBSERVE BOB the better you'll become at interrupting BOB before your "EMOTIONS" Spiral out of Control. 

Here's to freedom in your "BOB"!!!

And many joys along the way,

Why Should We Know Our Archetype?

Image
 Good morning followers!     I've started Career Life Coaching with Transformation Academy under " Adam Mitchell-Hardt, professional career coach, and husband and wife team Joeel and Natalie Rivera. I love that Natalie has introduced the idea of archetypal roles in this training and course and that's what I'm going to cover in this blog. The "term" "archetype" was coined by well- known psychologist Carl G. Jung in 1919. Jung believed that they were narrative patterns that exist within the human psyche. He believed that these characters are present in all members of our species and throughout our history, which is why we can see their traces in art, literature, dreams, and cultures around the world. An "archetype" is the core of your personality and is influenced by your in-born nature as well as your life experiences. If your core archetype is "The Hero", you'll have the tendency to be courageous, but also to attract people t...

Letting In the Light by Releasing Fear

  Good morning followers!     Here's scary subject just in time for HALLOWEEN... FEAR! I'm continuing my Udemy Course on Shadow work, by Spiritual Director and Alternative Health Practitioner,  Elaina Bianca .  She introduces the subject of irrational vs irrational fears and releasing them to bring your shadow into the light. Difference Between Rational vs. Irrational Fear and Its Effects - Health Research Policy So, what are rational fears ? These are justifiable. It's more likely for you to be afraid because the fear is more likely to manifest or come to fruition. An example: Drowning. You are on a boat during a torrential storm, and you have no life vest. This fear kicks in because your "survival instinct" senses DANGER or a THREAT to your SAFETY. Irritational fears are less likely to occur. They are indicated by an exaggeration in "reaction" to the fear. For example, the same fear of drowning. The difference is you are boating on a calm lake while w...

Activating Your Heart Chakra

Image
  Good morning followers,    Once again, Kumari Mullin, in her delightful and soothing transformative way, reveals the power of activating sacred heart in the Energy Healing and Alignment Coaching I'm taking on Transformation Academy.  Let's talk about what makes the heart sacred. The heart is the hub of sacred spaces. This energy center is located right in the center of your chest. It has the capability to perfectly balance the world of matter, your lower three chakras with the world of Spirit, your upper three chakras: anahata chakra in Sanskrit means unhurt, unstuck, unbeaten. This Sanskrit translation implies that deep beneath us lie personal stories of personal suffering and pain. This heart chakra is our feeling center. and because it is, can become very, very tender. When we feel hurt or overwhelming emotions, we have a tendency to close it down, so the pain is numbed out. This can happen at a very young age when we were a child, and our tendency to feel is di...
