Hey guys.

Hope everyone is well.

I had some good feedback on a mental drill I posted recently, and some people didn't quite get the results that others get. So I wanted to post another one. It looks very strange, but just TRY IT OUT (if you want), and if you have any questions please ask away!

The following mental drill looks, frankly, a little absurd, but its results are game-changing.
Seriously.

Whenever I find myself feeling a little overwhelmed, or dwelling on something negative and can't snap out of it, I do this. It takes seconds, but I find that it works wonders.

Hope people get some value from it.

I will have try to get some more posts up in the next few days expanding on what this drill is supposed to do.

Cool?

This is going to involve talking to yourself. You are going to (mentally) give yourself the following instruction:

“Look around the room, and find something you could have.†(‘Have’ here means something you feel comfortable with)

And then follow the instruction.

So take a look around the room you’re in, and pick something you could have, say a cell phone.

Repeat the instruction, and pick a different object, until you have done it 10 times.

Next:

Give yourself (mentally) the following instruction:

“Look around the room, and find something you could allow to remain here.†(So, something you are happy to leave in the room)

Repeat the instruction until, and pick a different object, until you have done it 5 times.

And, finally:

Give yourself (mentally) the following instruction:

“Look around the room, and find something you could dispense with.†(So, something you would be happy to remove from the room)

Do this instruction ONCE.

Read this post a few times over just to make sure you have it, and do the drill. It should only take a minute or less.

So…

“Look around the room and find something you could have†(10 times)

“Look around the room and find something you could allow to remain†(5 times)

“Look around the room and find something you could dispense with†(1 time)

And then, notice how you feel.

And – again – PLEASE let us know any changes or realisations that happened, or any questions!

Will

P.S. This drill is KILLER if you find yourself upset, tired, or overwhelmed.

P.P.S. Do it and see why!
