WHAT-IFS
These are some of the common questions I get about state
control. Let’s address them one by one:
WHAT IF I’M IN A TOUGH SPOT?
It happens to the best of us. You just find yourself stuck in
a rut and nothing can get you out of it. It’s important to
remember that what you resist, persists. If you continue
to tell yourself, “I can’t get out of this funk,” then you’re
essentially commanding your body to stay in the funk.
What you want to do is change that thought loop in your
mind to something positive. Instead of saying, “I can’t get
out of this funk,” simply say, “I haven’t found the way out
of this funk yet.” Don’t ignore the funk. Once you accept
it, it will begin to dissipate.
WHAT IF I’M TOO SERIOUS?
Once you accept the funk you find yourself in, I want you
to go to a mirror and look at yourself. Say out loud what’s
on your mind. “I feel awful right now.” “I feel like shit
right now.” “I will never be successful.” It doesn’t matter
what it is, just say what you’re thinking out loud.
Repeat it over and over while getting progressively louder.
