Yes,

 

But " thinking " is NOT doing.

 

" Thinking " is NOT a verification of any sort.

 

A big difference there...

 

....and what the allopathic people think is " effective " might not be

effective for many women from their own viewpoint of life, living,

beauty and poise...

 

I really do appreciate the Eden Method for Breast care, for

lymphatic care, for strengthening the immune system, for adopting

and installing a benifical state of mental healing, for physical

exercise to augment the energy training, and for behavioral

modification to what one wears and does not wear.

 

I appreciate it so much that I teach it to all I care about, and all

that come to my seminars.

 

The Eden approach seems to really bypass the allopathic approach if

done as preventative...

 

....and still seems to bypass the allopathic approach if done as

regentative.

 

Unfortunately, most people do NOT do preventative drills, me

included, much of the time.

 

In my own personal case, if I do not train others in how-to-do the

drills, I also seem to putter to a stop on doing those drills...

 

....and I've seen miracle performed by those that do the drills.

 

Any suggestions on how to kick-start those who know how to do the

drills but don't into doing them?

 

I mean, FEAR seems to be the best and the only REAL motivator.

Fear can be a great motivating force. On the other hand, fear can

paralyze, too.

 

Pain can also be highly motivating. Heck, even an itch can motivate

me, provided you want to motivate me to scratch myself...

 

I think I adopt a new behavior when:

a) I notice something that I don't like about my life;

b) I do the new behavior, and it fixes the " don't like " ;

c) I notice and acknowledge that the new behavior fixed it; and

d) I remember that the behavior fixes the " don't like " .

 

(...did somebody say " convincer strategies " , or was that just me?)

 

I think I fail to adopt a new behavior when:

-> I've acclimated to the " don't like " enough that I don't bother

working to change it;

-> I " explain away " the benefit I got from the drill... " just a

coincidence " , " that can't possibly work " , etc.;

-> doing the new behavior makes me more aware of other " don't likes "

in my life, that I'd just as soon avoid/ignore; or

-> getting relief from the " don't like " violates my beliefs/values about myself.

 

And that's just what I can think of off the top of my head.

 

I don't have a " quick fix " for any of this. For me, I think, working

on self esteem is a good start, and that's what I'm focusing on now.

Defining " self esteem " is slippery, and it often feels like a " one

step forward, two steps back " process, but I'm getting some results.

 

Thanks again, Doc.
