For preferred self, do you write a whole list of things and construct an identity of sorts and flesh it out completely? Or how do you go about it?
I have multiple aspects to change at once so i was thinking about how one goes about managing it.
The part that sparked this question -
"Q- So, what you're saying is I don’t have to say, "Why am I creating this?" ... and I don’t have to go through that process, just decide that I am healthy?
Elan- Absolutely, exactly ... and you may wish to be more specific than that. Because if the decision does specifically reflect who you are and what you wish to do ... you will be so busy going about your business that any so-called "recovery period" will simply be immediate and automatic. You will forget all about any discomfort. In other words, instead of simply only saying ... "I am healthy.” ... have the new decision be completely representative of who you now choose to be, stating to the Universe that ... "I am now this person that________.” ... (fill in your own blanks) "who enjoys this outcome____ ... who expresses that effect on the world_____ " ... and in your being willing to be that whole person, there is no fragmentation or “dis-ease” in the process, and you become busy being that new preferred person ... rather than sitting around and feeling your sinuses and using them as “evidence” to re-establish an old, outdated, obsolete, unpreferred decision about who you are. Does that make sense?"
Considering this question I see even the preferential self can be a flexible idea. There maybe an overarching conception of what is preferable to me but it is not static and aspects need be discovered as I go along.
