The Importance of Repetitive Training per the Book’s Optimized/Proven Cognitive/Behavioral Modification Positivity Skills/Tools Process is brought up in various areas of the Book.
As section 1.4 states: “The Instructions within this Book (i.e. the Training and Actions) includes repetitive reads/reviews, essential to truly digest and learn the related Tools and Skills. Essentially when you do the repetitive reads and reviews, you are reprogramming yourself. As stated previously, if you have or ever had children, you would understand the importance of repetitive training to teach something new to your child to allow him/her to operate that way, as applicable in his or her actions. I know we are not children but the same repetitive process is essential to learn something new, or reprogram us in the recovery process. I remember when I was coach of a little league team, where the kids were like 7 or 8 years old. The amount of repetitions in training necessary to just get the basics of the game across was amazing. But after getting rolled by everyone it seemed in the regular season games, we gelled and in the playoff round we came in 3rd I believe. Tommy, was not even building dirt castles in the infield anymore, so we came a long way :).”
Continued discussions of the Importance of a Repetitive Process for Recovery are addressed in section 1.7:
“Researchers have identified that it takes 21 days to form a new habit upon consistently practicing/repeating the associated skill/habit over the 21 day period ….. This provides an approximation of how long it may take for you to mentally and naturally adapt to a new skill/tool upon initiating and working that skill/tool over the course of that approximate time period. This is additional rational as to the need and effectiveness of the included process of repetitive training and repetitive reading and review of the included skills and tools. So it will take some time to start feeling the Positive aspects of all the included process steps and tools and subsequently, to flourish as the behavior modifications become embedded in you and your coping skills through Life. So you have to be Patient and you need to consistently and persistently work the process and work it in real Life situations.”
The Book’s Positivity Tools/Skills Process encompasses a number of things/changes and habits we need to incorporate. So Yes, it will definitely take more than 21 days to adjust and accommodate these changes if you are a Sufferer, and to subsequently sense/feel the changes going on within. So Yes, it takes time to allow all the new Tools/Skills to meld within us where eventually, it does become second nature… There is not a Better Feeling as we Progress! Of course, those “Resistances to Change” definitely come into play here in how long it would take. But ya have to keep on keeping on, and stick to it as the Book explains, because this is the Answer my Friends!
Continuing in section 1.7: “ Per Lucinda’s program, she does bring up a specific case when she suggests using the Positive self-talk addressed in section 6.17 (her non-italicized portion) for 21 consecutive days to help shed those Obsessive and Ruminating thoughts an individual may have (ref: section 6.8). Therefore, it is understood, this 21 day rule of thumb for re-programming or reconditioning an individual through the different tools/skills and steps, was strongly considered in the scheduling of her program’s instructions.”
And there are Go-Backs included in the Repetitive training Positivity Process, based again on Proven ground per the Lady’s Program I learned from.
After I started working this Process, it took me just about a month and a half before I really started feeling the initial Tremendous/Positive Impacts & Surge rolling through me, and it left me in Awe… When I felt this change/feeling, I dropped down and cried like a baby… Knowing that I was Finally… Finally seeing Light at the end of this endless tunnel of pain I was in… This was Truly the First Time I Ever felt Positivity roll through me Automatically and Naturally!! That was a moment I Will Never Forget!!
As I share in the Amazon Book site (in “From the Author” section), as far as a 17-18 year old Teen I came across who was going through a panic/anxiety phase in his Life… Well he did get the Book and he obviously took the Book in “hook, line, and sinker” and really worked it from day one of getting it (obviously) … 1 month, 7 days later I came across him and the Positive Impacts on him were remarkable… & that with Book in hand only… It was a Serious Wow moment for me! And he was just beginning his climb and Improvement through Life :). Fantastic/Beautiful!!
But even more Eye Opening/Heart Stomping (in a Good way :)), is when I saw the Power of this Book on (2) Young Ladies in their 20s, after they Read it, and Worked it through approximately 2 ½ months’… it likely Saved both their Lives; Sam’s Customer Review identifies one of those cases. I share those stories up front in “From the Author” section on the Amazon site as well… Yeah, this did Completely Blow Me Away, where I lost lots of water and all :)… Aside from the deep emotions I felt at the time, where in part, I could relate with what I was witnessing based on what I had gone through myself, I kinda knew I shouldn’t have felt so surprised, considering what this Process did for me and my Son where it flat out Saved Our Lives … There is no doubt, for Anyone, when Someone Truly Reads and Works This Book, and gets past those “Resistances to Change”, the Positive Impacts Will/Would be Significant and Beyond… I Know This Flat Out Works!!
Now, as we proceed through, and Hopefully acclimate to section 4 of the Book, Repetitive Training definitely comes into play as well, in our personal journey to shore up Our Foundation… and allow Our Faith to Grow…e.g via repetitive readings of the Bible/Scriptures etc. (if Christian), and of course Prayer. And Yes, Prayer is synonymous in a sense with the Positive self-talk we will be providing to Ourselves as we proceed through the Positivity Process in this Book. And this becomes Especially Effective when we intermix Our Positivity self-talk and Prayer in Our statements to Ourselves, as I address in section 4 of the Book in (4) included self-talk statements provided as examples. These I share in the Blog post dated 10/11/18.
So Take Note of the synonymous nature of Learning and Enhancing Our Faith, and the Positivity Tools/Skills Process, via Repetitive training, and the similarities of Prayer and Positive Self-Talk as they relate to Our Faith and Positivity. So when we include Prayer in the Positive Self-Talk statements to Ourselves, as addressed in the Blog post dated 10/11/18, that makes these Self-Talk statements as Powerful as they can be, as we allow Our Faith to Grow. Makes Sense … doesn’t it :).
I am Certain, when we battle Deep Depression as I have, the Power in Something Much Bigger than us, is a Huge factor in the Process to nullify Depression in Our Lives, along with the included Positivity Tools/Skills Process. And what Definitely Helps, are those (4) Positivity self-talk statements intermixed with Prayer mentioned above, as we allow Our Faith to Grow. Those statements were geared more towards conditions when we do get into those depressive states/modes actually, but I find them to be Effective all the time.
As we progress, and then get section 4 rolling along with the Positivity Tools/Skills Process (which does include, eating well, exercise, & :)s as well), then you Gots Everything my Friends :), without One Little Doubt… This allows Us to Solidify Our Positivity and Our Well Being for Life!
In summation…when we train Ourselves to be Strong, Independent, and Secure within Ourselves, by Ourselves then we really do not need another human to make us feel Good… We just need Ourselves and Something Much Bigger than Us :). And Definitely the Latter (!),when things get outside Our Control (i.e. beyond Our Thoughts and Our Actions)… & Yeah, unfortunately, People in Our Lives will often disappoint…
Have a Good, or Great Day All, :), & God Bless!
