Getting Through the Barrier

Hello all,

This is kinda personal but I thought I would share with you my biggest barrier to success, and then let you know what effect Tools is having on that.

I am a great starter, not bad in the middle, and no finish. I usually flag somewhere along the way with any task. I attempt to rely on good luck and smarts to pull me through tight spots when I know I haven't done the homework.

So doing tools with the daily tasks was easy at first, then slightly less easy, and then another "bump".

But now I have an inner voice that talks to me quite loudly at times when I am about to screw up. Of course you can try to ignore your inner voice, but for some reason during the course of Tools my inner voice seems to have found a new persistence.

I'm not 100% on the checksheet yet, but I find that I am constantly reminded about some of the things I need to do.

Drinking water is one of them. I started off great and the results where quite dramatic, yet I found my consistency begin to falter. Nag, Nag Nag from the inner voice. You didn't drink enough water. What are you going to do about it.

I was making excuses, and I can't do that any more. What's the solution. I started buying twelve packs of bottle water and keeping them in my office. The packs are a lot cheaper than buying individual bottles of water.

Bingo, my water consumption is back up and its costing me less.

Negative dreams are another problem. It would appear the more positive I become the more something inside fights back. I have been having alot of negative dreams lately.

I began to notice this a few weeks back. The problem got worse. But I did begin to realize that they were negative dreams. Just the recognition began to change things for me. At least I could do the Tools thing and recognize that it was negative. Yesterday as I was waking up I found myself in another negative dream (the dreams usually have something going wrong in my life). So when I woke up from the dream I began to counter act the dream with positives. The more I did that the more relaxed I began to feel up to a point where I was smiling happily.

At night reviewing my successes for the day has also improved things.

This morning as I was waking up I was having an unbelievably wonderfully positive dream.

And there is  the affirmation, that "I will get through  the Tools course one day at a time."

And I've added a new one from a book I am reading. "What is need is on its way."

Wew!

Am I having a great time on this course or what?
