Tools Success Story

I'm on Day 90 now and taking a moment to reflect upon where I've been in the past several months since I started.

A few notable things come to mind.  I'm self employed and around the time I started Tools I wasn't working much.  Scared that things might go wrong, I instead opted for avoidance which in turn of course leads to more anxiety that you're not accomplishing what you need to.  Vicious cycle!

Visualization has been incredible.  Thanks to being able to see and feel the future impact of my actions in the present, I've found it much easier to  get things done!  Not only do I get a lot more work done now, but I even started a truly daunting physical conditioning program and I'm not even blinking at the hard work involved.  I've gone from wanting something to believing in myself and just *knowing* it's inevitable.

I noticed quickly after starting Tools that I became a lot more aware of my own negativity and that of others.  Complaints started to grate on my ears.  A few months before I had a bet with my girlfriend that everytime one of us would complain, we'd pay the other person $1.  If you haven't tried this before, it's worthwhile.  We were both flat broke within 2 hours.  WOW. 

We have the same thing "bet" going now and have gone over a week without having to pay out.  Additionally, whenever something negative does arise our thinking automatically shifts to "what are we going to do to fix this?" instead of idle moaning.

The list goes on (and on..!), but these are a few of the things that make me smile and feel grateful each day.

If there is anyone on an early day reading this, then stick with it.  There really is no limit to what you can do.  Stay with the program and you'll understand that and feel it on a very deep level.  It will become part of your experience and not simply a cliche.
