1. Your mind is a giant warehouse filled with remnants and representations of direct experience. 2. In the warehouse, there dwells the monster of the mind - your gremlin. 3. Your Heart is the home and the source of true love. 4. To help restore your emotional equilibrium after a shake-up, you might want to ask yourself four key questions: What's so? So what? So what? And, what now? 5. The Zen Theory of Change is: I free myself not by trying to free myself, but by simply noticing how I am imprisoning myself in the very moment I am imprisoning myself. 6. One powerful option to play with when freeing yourself from your gremlin's grip is to accent the obvious. 7. The first six principles of the Gremlin-Taming Method, known as The Basics of Pleasure, comprise a means of establishing your sense of centeredness, even in the midst of upheaval. 8. The first Basic of Pleasure is: make being centered and feeling good a top priority. 9. The second is: remember that doing so is primarily an inside job. 10. The third Basic of Pleasure is: stay aware of where you end and all else begins, the miraculous sheath known as your skin. 11. The fourth Basic of Pleasure is: breathe, dammit, breathe. 12. The fifth Basic of Pleasure is: relax your pact to keep your act intact. 13. The sixth is: establish the here and now as your home base from which you consciously direct your spotlight of awareness. 14. The next three principles of gremlin-taming are called The Art of Graceful Change. This is a three-step process for freeing yourself from your hypnotic pre-convictions (HPCs), your outdated Habitual Behavior Patterns (HBPs), and your gremlin's chatter. 15. The first step in the Art of Graceful Change is this: simply notice. 16. The second step is this: play with options. 17. The third step is this: Be in process. 18. The last seven principles of the Gremlin-Taming Method are represented in the acronym I CREATE. This acronym represents a system for creating rewarding relationships. 19. The I in I CREATE stands for Intention. 20. The C in I CREATE stands for Connection. 21. The R in I CREATE stands for Respect. 22. The first E in I CREATE stands for Environment. 23. The A in I CREATE stands for Authenticity. 24. The T in I CREATE stands for Trust. 25. The final E in I CREATE stands for Environment. 26. Using the phrase "until now" will serve as a helpful reminder of your ability to change an outdated belief or behavior. 27. Service and servitude are not the same thing. 28. SNDHBL (pronounced snidabul) is a system for simply and clearly and authentically reporting your experience. The H in SNDHBL stands for hush. 29. Your Heart is the core of the natural you. 30. Your gremlin is not cute! |
