notes:
50% of stressful thoughts are unconscious (how can they be revealed?)
we believe 100% of anxious thoughts, and a very low % of neutral thoughts
top anxiety producers:
• embarrassing ourselves
• losing control
dreams: this is how our unconscious works things out. having bad dreams doesn’t mean something is wrong; they are code – they are an attempt to put images to thoughts. impressionistic.
dreams are deep unconscious – as you come out of them you pass through consciousness and pick up the daily specific bullshit.
write down whatever you can remember
retrain your nervous system; this is learned behavior that can be unlearned
what do i worry about? try to really determine the answer to this…
• being to blame for something bad
archetypes are in our dna – in our cells – it is not a choice to believe them
taking of internal inventory: “how am i feeling”, “what am i thinking”
