I call it the unconditional freedom process. By the way, I figured out a way to break the cycle of repetition of the same experiences in life – especially the unwanted ones.

I have been recommending the movie ever since, mostly because I felt exactly the way you present it in this blog, except I was never able to say it as well as in this blog. Now I can refer someone to this blog whenever I want to express why I love Groundhog Day so much.

I think the message in his book is really powerful. As a matter of fact, as I was driving to work today, as usual, I was able to stop my mind from wandering off in the areas I wouldn't want it to go and that made all the difference in the way my day went by today!

Personally, tho', I just hate the idea that it's just me that can do anything about my predicament. I will stomp my mental feet, scream a psychic whine in my head, and hold my virtual breath 'til I pass out. "I won't I won't I won't!" I don't want the power, the choice; I wasn't consulted. I need more sleep, you don't understand, the world's against me- blah blah blah. I just can't seem to break out of this mindset. But thanks, all y'all, for keeping reaching out and helping.

Limiting self-beliefs are thoughts that we allow to have authority over us. The key, in ridding ourselves of them, is to realize that WE gave them that authority. We all have the power to give authority to any idea or person. Which means we have a choice. I can choose what and who has authority in my life. We are extremely powerful creatures.

And yet it's so important! I wrote about it here (extract from Work in Progress): "Everything begins in the mind. Every skyscraper, every painting, and every custom-made Italian suit were once ideas in someone’s head. Without these ideas, nothing would exist. Without new ideas, nothing will ever change. "The problem is that most people stifle new ideas without ever giving them a chance to flourish. One of the biggest things that held me back in life was my limiting belief about what was possible. I was always talking about how I couldn’t do this or how I couldn’t be that. Is it really surprising to see that what I believed actually came true?"
