Introspection Fourth Week Now you can really make huge gains in creating the kind of life that you want. Now you can much more easily become the person you yearn to be. At this time, sit comfortably, take your deep breaths, and let the film roll. Enjoy it in vivid detail as it moves effortlessly through your day. Remember to stop the film wherever you particularly like your conduct, where you’ve said words that proved constructive to other people, when you handled a difficult situation in a manner that was particularly beneficial to all concerned, noting where you stood up for your rights or your values, or where you successfully closed the deal, or happened to be at the right place at the right time. Note each of these as you go through your day. But, also, stop the film whenever you see yourself performing in a way that you don’t like. Wherever you’re unhappy with what you said or did, wherever you don’t like or approve of your underlying feelings or motives, stop the film. Pause and reflect: "I don’t like the way I behaved there. I’m not happy with the way I spoke. I certainly wouldn’t like to do that again."
Raise these questions and determine how you’ll behave next time, what you will choose to do if given another opportunity. Then you can edit your film. Consciously consider what you will do in the future. What is the ideal conduct? What is the best way to handle this situation if given another chance? Mentally conceive of this, visualize it. Have the feelings now that you would like to have at that time. You can generate a new attitude and a new way of being at the ready for the next chance.
