http://mindpersuasion.com/ Many people believe their skills and life are set in stone. Here's how to change it. http://mindpersuasion.com/emotional-freedom/

1. Are You Frozen
In Time?

2. Everything changes.

3. However, us humans tend to think
many things are fixed.

4. Like if somebody asked you if you
could juggle, you'd likely say no, you
can't.

5. But this isn't entirely true.

6. If somebody offered you 100K to learn
to juggle, you probably would.

7. I know I would!

8. So a more "correct" statement might
be, "I can't juggle now."

9. This is a small but effective tactic that
is used in NLP to help people get over
self imposed limitations.

10. A guy goes to see a dating coach for
example, and says "I can't talk to girls."

11. And the coach says, "You mean you
can't talk to girls yet."

12. Once he agrees to this, suddenly his
"inability" is no longer set in stone, it's
only a temporary thing.

13. And once we accept that something is
temporary, we start to imagine a time
when it's not true.

14. One of Abraham Lincoln's favorite
sayings was, "This too shall pass."

15. While he was talking about countries,
governments, wars, etc., this is true
about everything.

16. Sure, some things take a long, long
time to change.

17. Like the Grand Canyon, or the
continents slowly drifting around due
to plate tectonics.

18. But they change. Even the universe
itself is changing, on a very large scale.

19. This is one reason why some
recommend not using the "be" verb
when speaking, especially about
personal abilities.

20. Saying "I feel sad," is, on a deep level,
a lot less limiting than "I am sad."

21. Even better, saying "I feel sad now,"
implies that later you'll feel something
different.

22. Some folks even use this in sales.

23. "Can you see how wonderful this
product will be when you get it home?

24. "No. I can't."

25. "Not yet, huh? Well, lemme show you
this cool part..."

26. This is one reason why some therapists
and salespeople are so ultra powerful,
while others are kind of so so.

27. The ultra powerful ones simply
assume some positive things about the
person they're talking to.

28. They assume their problems and
limitations are temporary, and it
naturally comes out in their language.

29. Simply discussing them like this,
without coming up with specific
solutions, is often times enough.

30. Once you accept that all your
limitations are temporary, it's much,
much easier to shrug them off.

31. Then it's just a matter of doing what it
takes to get rid of them.

32. No matter what kinds of issues you've
got, no matter what kinds of things
you think you can't do, they are
temporary.
