Most of us are not aware of importance or impact of these "life scripts," but they govern how we perceive reality about others and ourselves. "Life scripts" direct our lives whether these scripts are positive or negative. They govern our perceptions.

What are we to do about "life scripts" that keep us from being our best selves? Challenge those "life scripts."

Here are some ways. Ask yourself: 1. Is there evidence for this belief? Is this logical or reasonable?

2. Is there another way of viewing this perception? Most of time there is.

3. Am I mistaken in this assumption?

4. Am I confusing thought with fact?

5. Am I assuming every situation is same?

6. Am I being honest with myself?

7. Am I thinking in all-or-none terms?

8. Am I overlooking my own strengths?

9. What are distortions in my own thinking?

10. What are advantages/disadvantages of holding to this perception?

Learn to challenge your perceptions and "life scripts." It boils down to question concerning your life: "Who's in charge here?" ********************************************* Article by Steve Pilkington, Personal Development Coach.

Got picture?

Now put that picture in your mind's eye. No peeking - keep your eyes closed. According to Shakti Gawain, from her book Creative Visualization, pink is color of heart, and she calls this exercise Pink Bubble technique. Do you see color pink around this picture you've created? The passion of your heart is a necessary ingredient. If there is no passion to pursue dream in this image you've created, try shifting image around a bit to something you feel more comfortable with.

Sit a bit and absorb that dream you've created. Eyes still closed? Is your big toe and your lump still getting lots of oxygen? Good. Let that image that you've just created permeate your being. Do you feel peace with it? There may be some risk in it. That may be fine. But, do you feel peace with it?

Still got picture? Now, when you feel complete and one with that image, send it off. See your image in a bubble, shrouded in a pink haze, floating off like a prayer. If thought is reality, and in high school many of us learned that we think and therefore we are... then you have just sent a piece of reality off into world to do some work for you. Expect some synchronicities to flow to you. Expect to meet a key person, or learn something that will bring you one step further along on this dream. =================================
