Guest guest Posted January 11, 2004 Report Share Posted January 11, 2004 HI Mike: My psychologist told me that wording was fine because since you are aware of the thought already. You are specifically addressing it (e.g. I am not going to think about this) and then are stating you are going to enjoy yourself. I have a book chapter anda few little printouts I was given. Just enough to overview the idea and demonstrate some sample suggestions. Excellent suggestion, but one point needs clarification. And everything I have read and heard from any of them all stress one key thing - the subconscious mind can not process a negative. It does not matter what tne vizualized goal is, it must be framed positively. - Perhaps what I was given did not get into it that deeply. One example just has you literally yelling " stop " then going into the action part. This sounds like the same idea just maybe a different approach to it. It is short and simple so it is easy to remember. All the examples I read had two parts - a specific " command " to stop the unwanted thought then a " command " of reframing it.

The real point is that visualization and positive thinking do in fact work. I have done very little internally myself (as in trying to modify my own behaviour), but have had it done to me while being worked on and fairly frequently use it when I am working on someone else. It sometimes amazes me what something as simple as a suggestion to " concentrate your breath where my hand is - try to push my fingers away with your breath " or " visualize a hose, flushing that joint out " can accomplish. Many, many times, they no sooner follow the suggestion and the tight muscle just releases - an instant relaxation. I haven't done a lot of study on the subject (yet - that comes up in my next level of training in the spring) and was just passing along what I have been told helps boost the effect.

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2006 Report Share Posted October 16, 2006 Mike... What does the nopinch stand for? just curious...

Grand Rapids is the second largest city in Michigan. The city proper is almost 200,000 people. The metro area is nearly 1 million. http://www.visitgrandrapids.org/ I live downtown http://www.visitgrandrapids.org/downtown.php and visit those places in the pictures almost every week. Interesting, nobody is wearing coats in those pictures or running in from 40F temps with nasty rain. I wonder why that is? The Bridgwater webcam is one of the cooler shots of Grand Rapids live. http://www.woodtv.com/Global/story.asp?S=815169 Michigan is a cool state to live in only because you can use your hand as a map (for the lower pennisula at least). If I were to hold my hand up as a map I would point to Michigan as being about mid-way down on the palm on the far left (west, opposite the thumb). It's about a 40 minute drive to the Lake Michigan lake shore. We're about 2.25 - 2.5 hours from downtown Detroit and only a bit further away from Chicago. Both drives involve driving through reasonably populated areas where there is always some sort of safety in being able to pull over, find a gas station, food, bathroom, etc. Remember that I don't do too well with long, vast stretches of boonies (like Michigan's upper pennisula which I've been to once and then only a few miles in). Here's a map http://tinyurl.com/y8dsht Here's a neat PDF with some of the buildings/stuff to check out: http://tinyurl.com/vmtsz I live about 3 blocks east of the bottom of #91. Here's my current house http://tinyurl.com/sne4r. The jerks took the picture before I had the driveway replaced so cut me some slack okay? Here's where I first lived downtown 15+ years ago http://tinyurl.com/y8w3b9 Here's where I lived and the ex-wife still live. She's never going to sell this house without getting a bathroom on the main floor I contend. That was the plan before we got divorced. http://tinyurl.com/y5ubd4 I know you're married too but I'm holding out you've got a twin sister or a cousin or something!
