I see people go to whatever trouble it takes, wait in line for ages, then pay hundreds of dollars for a bunch of plastic-y crap at Walmart. I see people pay a fortune for nicotine patches; for all manner of diet aids where the pills are guaranteed to speed up metabolism or dull the appetite (the small print on the bottle will say something like “in conjunction with diet and exercise” Of course it’s the diet and exercise that gets the weight off, not the pretty pill).
Yesterday, a woman almost cannoned me into the shelves in her haste to get to the make-up counter. I remarked that whatever it is she needed to buy must be very important to her. She explained about some offer on some good quality make-up the details of which I didn’t even attempt to retain consciously. I asked her if she’d indulge me and tell me why it was urgent. She said it made her feel better to be fully made up (‘to have her face on’, I think was the expression she used. Like someone doesn’t have a face without make-up!) I glanced at the literally hundreds of dollars worth of make up she was selecting and remarked again, “So all this is for a feeling?”
It blows my mind how much people will spend year after year, on outer layers, on liquids, pills and foodstuffs to ‘self-medicate’, rather than to book a few sessions with an NLP coach to learn to control their own thoughts, their own feelings and impulses – a tool which can last them a lifetime.
No matter how much it costs in time and money, no matter how far the drive is, it seems anything is better than having to think! I’m reminded of a Thomas Edison quote: “There is no expedient to which a mean will not go to avoid the labor of thinking.”
I don’t like this assertion at all, but since starting my business School Your Mind, I have to accept as true for a large percentage of people.
Does thinking physically hurt you? No.
Does thinking cost you money? No.
There are three questions I ask new clients before we even have the initial complimentary phone consultation:
- Are you able to focus your mind?
- Will you follow instructions?
- Are you willing to commit to making this change?
(A change could be concerning an anxiety or fear, a health-related concern like weight loss or smoking cessation, a need to be more confident and/or motivated, etc, etc.)
If you answered yes to these three questions, get in touch to schedule an initial complimentary phone consultation today. Contact details are on the School Your Mind website.
Warmly,
