hi, i'm almost 40, have a 14 y/o son, have been single pretty much his whole life...  i'm starting to panic, he turns 16 in a year and a half, then will graduate and go to college, etc...  i know that we deserve better than living paycheck to paycheck (and rarely the twain shall meet).  we don't live beyond our means, i've had some health problems that are costing me a fortune.  ANYWAY....  i have those little naysaying voices and have yet to fully convince myself that it's okay not to stuggle, be thin, be healthy, on and on and on.  so, i'm gonna check out this forum and get to work on my thoughts!  oh, and i am a therapist/counselor who preaches the principles day in and day out...

That is a lie, yo. Make it into a lie, to therefore make what you want the truth.

You live beyond your means, you have the perfect health and are earning a fortune.

landlockedinmo,

Thanks for this! My reaction was very interesting.  Basically I lost it.

Pretty much because of

People are coming and seeing you. You, in their eyes are in a position of authority and power. What you tell them, they will live by.  You preach it, don't believe it and live it. Come on!  You are not alone in this respect. This is actually quite common and normal. Yet congruently??

What a success story you could be.  What do you think you're teaching your son?  If you were your own client, what would you do?

In the mean time, start reading the forum great, but more importantly, start applying the many techniques you could apply within the next minutes.

Andrew:
I know, I'm a paradox!!  Glad you got a chuckle!  If I were my client I'd tell myself to stop jacking around and get the ball rolling!  To paint and write and photograph every single day, to eat well, since it makes me feel better, to exercise, since I like how I feel when I do... 

You're absolutely right, my clients (at least some) value what I say, I talk a good talk, I try to be honest and explain that I too have to work at things and practice practice practice, but I don't entirely embrace my teachings.  Thanks for the comment!

David: 
I love this:  "You live beyond your means, you have the perfect health and are earning a fortune"

Thanks!!!

So now you know what you need to do. I always remember this comment too.

We teach what we most need to learn...oh dear!
