He suggested that value of an hour was priceless. This confused me some, so this is what he said to me.

"If you invest one hour each day in understanding yourself and your environment better, you will accumulate nine 40-hour weeks over course of a year!"

Yikes!

As you can imagine I was blown away when he put it to me that way.

Nine 40- hour weeks? This seemed impossible until I did math.

365 days, times one hour each is...yup, nine 40-hour weeks!

He went on to ask me how good I could get at something if I did it all day, every day for just over 2 months. Well, you already know answer to that.

I thought I could be awesome!

He went on to tell me that over course of just five years, I would have invested equivalent of 1,825 hours of focus on whatever I desired to accomplish my life.

There are lots of negative belief patterns out there, here are just a few: *I'm too stupid.* *I'm too short.* *I'm too tall.* *I'm too fat.* *I'm too skinny.* *I'm too poor.* *I never went to college, so I'll never get anywhere.* *My brother/sister is successful one. I'll never get where they are.* *I don't fit in.*

Which belief pattern is yours that you want to change? One of those, or do you have a different one?

Now, what submodalities do you use as you imagine or picture it?

*** TIP: Space is at a minimum here, so I am assuming you've learned submodalities in*Power Picture.* If you haven't, you can read it here: http://www.tameyourbrain.com/powerpicture.htm

Now, let's see a different picture. Imagine or visualize a picture of something you doubt. Something that might be true or might not be -- you're just not sure. What does this picture look like?

Now, list submodalities for your picture of your unwanted belief AND for your picture of doubt.

After you've done that, catalog your feelings for both by answering these questions:

How is your stomach when you see this picture? Is it tight, does it have butterflies in it, is it gurgling, is it upset, does it have a lead weight in it? Or is nothing at all going on in your stomach?

Do you have a weight on your chest/shoulders/head? Or does it feel like a weight is lifted? Or is nothing at all going on in those areas?

Is your heart beating faster or slower?

Is your breathing faster or slower?

Now, you have two lists, one for each picture. Those lists tell submodalities for each picture and feelings that picture has caused in your body.
