| | | Shatter! | | | | You may utilize this technique for many bad habits, but today we will concentrate on the bad habit of biting your fingernails.
Ready? Make a picture in your mind of YOU biting your fingernails.
NO, WAIT, change that! You know why? Because I do not
want you to *shatter* anyone, much less yourself, and thats what were going to do. I want you to shatter the FEELING, not the human
. So dont put the person, *you*, in the picture. Your hands are OK, or any part of your body that you might
see without looking at your reflection, just not YOU.
OK, lets beginning over. In your mind, make a photo
of your nails as you are almost ready to bite them -- in fact, they are on their way to your mouth. Put everything in that picture that evokes bad feelings. Broken, brittle fingernails, people staring at them, maybe a picture of your hands trying to pick something up, but your fingernails arent even long enough to help.
Pick out a photo
of the worst thing you may think of happening to you. When you see that photo
, do you have thoughts of hopelessness, self-recrimination, etc.? Or are you thinking Ill never stop biting my fingernails. I wish I had the willpower to stop. Im so wishy-washy. I dont have any self-control. etc.?
Now that you feel really terrible, put that photo
on a piece of glass *in your mind,* because thats what youre going to shatter. And remember, if you utilize all of your senses -- you hear, feel, smell, taste, see everything that pertains to that photo
that says you ALWAYS bite your fingernails, your brain will be drawn to it. And we want your brain drawn to it before we shatter it.
OK, now. Look at the picture on the piece of glass until it evokes all those feelings mentioned above and you are REALLY feeling out of control -- you HAVE to bite that fingernail again, then . . . SHATTER it!
Now, bring it back up, then SHATTER it! Bring it back up again, and immediately shatter it 6 more times.
Now, when you try to bring the photo
back up, CAN YOU?
Most all the people can not
. Or if they do, it shatters automatically, or its faded. At any rate, it doesnt have the identical
effect on you! | | |
