"Now, I realise I’ve been stuck in a pattern"
After years of setting goals, taking action, and watching them crash repeatedly, Rick discovers he's been trapped in a deep pattern. Jeffrey Allen's teachings help him recognize the cycle that's kept him stuck for over a decade.
Week 5 is AWESOME… so far! (Then again, I’ve said the exact same thing about the previous weeks). This week’s lesson is going to be special, I am sure. (Didn’t I think this about the previous lessons as well?) Jeffrey Allen you had me at “stuck.” This is what my life has felt like for the past 10+ years — stuck, like a proverbial hamster spinning in its wheel and not getting anywhere fast. Not trying to give too much away.
You used the example of manifesting a brilliant business idea (hahaha — [yeah], been there), but it described to “T” my pattern for goals setting/manifestation. I’ve poured through books, audio/video programs, seminars, etc., about goal setting goals achieving process — I’ve written them down, post them on sticky notes where I can see them anywhere, affirm, visualise, listened to self-hypnosis audios, come up with an action plan and then, well, take action. I’d affirm that “this time” it’s gonna happen, it’s gonna take, it’s gonna work. Then, a couple of weeks later — crash!
This would happen over and over again, month after month, year after year. Now, I realise I’ve been stuck in a pattern and the more I’ve repeated the pattern, the deeper the trenches have become. Woah! And chakras? I’m actually into the idea about the chakras. Man, I’ve come a long way. I am definitely handing you a rose, my mentor, my friend. I stopped at video 2 because I have to get ready for work (after having taken note that video 3 is about 45 minutes long — good stuff), so also want to give a rose to Zetta, and Mindvalley tech crew for making available the video lectures on audio. I can now continue with the lectures as I make my way to work. Thanks!
