USING THE FORMS TO MAKE IT EASIER & MORE EFFECTIVE TO GROW
This website is a "working" website, where there are many forms that can be used to work through whatever you want to. The question might arise as to which forms to use and when. This page is designed to help you go to whatever you want in the easiest manner. The Learning Plans page helps guide you through what to read and use.
USE A NOTEBOOK TO ORGANIZE AND RETRIEVE THINGS
Unless you put these into a notebook (see LifeBook Notebook system), you will not retrieve them properly nor build on them. We need to do building to make more concrete progress.
SO MUCH CAN BE DONE THAT IT MAY SEEM OVERWHELMING!
At times, it can seem overwhelming if one looks at all the forms that can be used. But you only need to use selected forms at selected times. (There is, for your use, a piece on "Overwhelm" (at Site Map I, Psychology, EmotionManagement, Overall, "Overwhelm - The Formula for Handling").
The point here is to approach things one at a time and in parts. If you do this, eventually it will all come together. However, you will notice a big difference up front as you get through just some of the first pieces. You may not know why yet, but it is mostly because you have created some straighter thinking or other ways of doing things that work better.
Most people just never go through writing these things down in a systematic way, so they are always incomplete, unfinished, and not clear.
AND THERE WILL BE TIMES WHEN YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT OR YOU GET "STUCK"
When you use a more "in-depth" or longer form, you may get to the point where it takes too much effort to go to the next step or where you just don't know what to do. Just stop there and go to something else and return to it later.
However, as a human being, you have limited knowledge and abilities, so it is appropriate to expand your power by accessing others who can assist you. Counselors, aware-well-informed individuals, coaches, etc. may be accessed to forward things more quickly. It is exceptionally useful, perhaps with the use of the aforementioned resources also, to have a "partner" who is going through the same processes with you. (A true partner will not "commiserate" with you in the "ain't it awful (or hard, tough, etc.)" conversation, but will encourage you to keep addressing what is needed and to keep on keeping on.)
AS YOU GIVE US FEEDBACK, WE'LL ADD OTHER DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO USE THE FORMS AND READ THE MATERIALS
Please let us know what stops you or seems too hard or doesn't work for you, so we can refine these to have the maximum effectiveness.
APPROACH-SEQUENCES TO USE
See also the Learning Plans section to derive the sequence for learning, though we'll build some of it into these.
BEFORE DOING ANY OF THE ITEMS BELOW, GO TO SITE MAP I AND READ THE UNDERLYING BASICS, SECTION I AND II!
THE PSYCHOLOGY SEQUENCE - ALTERNATIVE I
Read the Underlying Basics Sections I and II.
Go to Psychology, Emotion Management, Overall, Sentences - "Processsing Them Into Empowering Statements", read it, read under Emotion Management, Anxiety, "Threats and Fear".
Then use the forms at "Sentences - My Rework Of - Deeper Forms, Simpler Forms" to go directly to the "stuff" that you are saying to yourself. If you've not done such exercises much before, you probably are not aware of certain things you're thinking "underneath" the more apparent "stuff". That's ok. Just go as far as you can. I'd recommend that you run off at least 10 sets and at least fill in the "Things I say" section.
