Do you sometimes despair and feel that you are not making any inroads at all into the changes you want to make in your personal development?
If you are not using any of the correct techniques, particularly proper goal setting, mind movies and other various law of attraction techniques, then maybe you need to start applying them right now. There is plenty of material you can find to help you on my blog, and even more for those of you who receive a regular e-mail from me (if you don't receive any yet, just enter your name and e-mail address in the box to the right of this blog, the one that says "I Want Them Now!", and you will get some free e-books to help you as well as my regular e-mails).
But even if you are moving in the right direction it is easy to believe you are not.
One reason is that our minds are not at all good at recognizing change. So even if you have made good progress you may simply not be seeing it properly.
Most of us cannot even see when things around us have changed physically. Psychologists refer to this as "change blindness".
If you don't believe me (or even if you do!) try out this interesting experiment, kindly provided by students at the University of Idaho:
Personally I found this very difficult. I took ages to see something that had clearly changed right in front of my nose. How about you?
Well if you cannot even see the changes around you, then do not be at all surprised that you don't notice changes within you.
The next time you are tempted to say you have made no progress, or even just too little progress, try this simple exercise. Instead of focusing on where it is you want to be, take a look at where you used to be. You may be surprised, once you do this, by just how far you have come, especially if you have been working on this goal for some time.
Absolutely incredibly true. No one can see where they are going unless they know where they have been.
