The Eight Steps
These Eight Steps have helped thousands of people unearth buried treasures of insight from experiences earlier in life. If you commit to them, they can be keys to your personal transformation:
We instinctively deal with hurt--whether the loss of loved ones, the imperfections of our parents' marriages or their love for us, psychological trauma, growing up poor, growing up in chaos, growing up with an alcoholic or drug-dependent parent—by denying it.
- Describe very specifically the growth you wish to achieve.
- Accept that buried pain from your past stands between you and your goal.
- Resist the behaviors that keep that pain buried.
- Find and feel the connection between negative experiences THEN and problems NOW.
- Put the past behind you.
- Forgive others and yourself.
- Plan your most powerful future.
- Take positive action.
