I just spent an enjoyable evening playing ‘Risk’
with my housemates. It’s a war-game and we spent hours
laying out troops, amassing on borders, and blowing each other
up! It was fascinating the feelings and aggression it brought
up and two players even exchanged angry words at one point.
That’s competitiveness for you! Win/lose, not win/win.
Some alliances were formed but of course, with self-interest
at heart they could not last!
You might guess that war games are not really my ‘thing’.
I managed a sedate Ghandi-esque strategy of reinforcing my
troops in the blue waters of Europe, not attacking anybody,
and allowing them to deplete their troops in the process of
attacking me. To my delight I ended up with a rather successful
bastion in the centre of the board. It’s a long game,
and nothing is certain, just a feeling of gratitude at still
being a player! (Two players were vanquished). I wonder, what
is your ‘game strategy’? And how do you feel about
playing, or ‘winning’ in life?
‘Winning’ and ‘Playing’ Beliefs
Before you can live your dream, you must be willing to play,
and win, in the ‘game of life. So let’s begin
by reprogramming any negative subconscious beliefs blocking
you:
(It’s safe to do all of them, to be sure.)
I’m a sham, life is a sham, a shame
It’s ‘just a game’ I don’t wish to
play
Life isn’t fair
I’m greedy, I take more than my fair share
I’m not special
If I win, I’m depriving others
I deprive myself
Win/win isn’t possible
It’s not ok to win because someone has to lose
‘Win’ equals ‘feel bad’
I’m reluctant to play the game of life in case I win
and then feel bad
I’m not a winner
I’m a loser
I don’t have the resources I need to live my dream
Living my dream isn’t possible
1. I won’t live my dream
2. I will live my dream**
** 2 stage process. Change 1. and then 2.
Changing a Belief
To change a negative belief, simply embrace, acknowledge,
and surrender to it, which turns it off . The process* is
to say out loud:
“I choose to believe (‘m not a winner), I love
myself when I believe (I’m not a winner) and I embrace
it, I surrender.”
As you say the belief, feel how you feel when you have the
belief. As you embrace it, imagine you are hugging a small
crying child, and as you surrender, acknowledge and let go.
You only need do it once, for each belief. Drink lots of water,
and rest after.
‘Game of Life’ Meditation
Breathe deeply, imagine you are floating in a boat on a sparkly
sea. Lay back, relax, as the current carries you to a vortex.
The boat gradually circles to the vortex centre. You and the
boat are pulled underwater, in an air bubble so you can breathe.
At the sea-bed, open a stone trap door to reveal twenty stone
steps. Walk down the steps to a big cavern. Cross the cavern
to reach a door, and enter a room where your ‘guru of
life’ greets you.
You now have two minutes, equal to all the time that you need,
to consult with your guru about ‘the game of life’.
Relax and enjoy the consultation. When ready, leave the room,
return through the cave, and up the stone steps. At the sea-bed,
your boat returns you gently to the water’s surface,
and the vortex slowly spins you out to the glittering sea.
When you are ready, gently return to the room.
Know Your Dream
You need to know your dream before you can live it! So refer
to your answers to the Vision article in the last issue and
remind yourself (if you missed it, it’s available online
at www.baliadvertiser.biz)
Resources Exercise
Now that you’re willing to play to win, and know what
your dream looks like, it’s time to marshall resources,
develop strategy, and implement your plan for living your
dream! How exciting!
Let your mind run free as you write about ten alternate possibilities
for each of these questions.
What’s stopping me living my dream is…
What I need to live my dream is…
If I perfectly organised resources towards living my dream,
I would…
If I released all limitations and was completely free to live
my dream, I would…
Reflect on your answers, plan and take the necessary actions.
(You may be surprised to find that you are ‘living your
dream’ already!)
