This works well for those individuals who are excessively sensitive
to the opinions and thoughts of others. Use after a long induction,
as part of a general confidence and ego boosting session.
... from this day on, you're going to find your confidence within
yourself, your confidence in your abilities and your self belief,
becoming steadily stronger... stronger than yesterday... but not
as strong as tomorrow... stronger than it was yesterday... but not
yet as strong as it will be tomorrow... you're going to find yourself
far less concerned about other peoples' opinions of you, too...
you'll find you gain a clearer perspective and a better sense of
proportion... beginning to recognise and understand.... that whatever
other people think or feel is their concern... part of their lives...
part of their attitudes... in the past, you might have been sometimes
unfairly judged, as we all have been at some time or another...
and in the future, too, you might sometimes be misjudged, as we
all are... but that misjudgement doesn't actually change anything...
it doesn't alter the facts... it doesn't change the real you...
if someone misjudges you at some time, that's simply their own error...
their own error of judgement... they've simply made a mistake...
and you don't mind allowing people to make mistakes... you don't
mind people being wrong sometimes.... because you know what's inside
yourself... you understand your true integrity your true self...
what others imagine they see is simply the product of their own
experiences of life... their own attitudes... their own fears and
expectations... just their own thoughts... just their thoughts and
nothing more than their thoughts... and you're not responsible for
any of those things at all... and it's worth remembering that nothing
that we see or hear, or imagine that we see or hear, can change
us... nothing that we perceive in the outside world can hurt us...
nor alter us... only acting upon those things can do that... nothing
that we see or hear can hurt us or change us... even what I'm saying
to you here cannot change you... only reacting to these things can
do that... only acting upon the things we see and hear can change
us... and we have free choice to decide whether or not to act upon
these things... and thinking about things is acting upon them...
but we have free choice to decide which things to act upon, which
things to react to... and which things to ignore... and the things
that you choose to ignore will be a matter of complete indifference
to you... the things that you choose to ignore will always remain
a matter of complete indifference....
Repeat at least once.
