Know this: you're blameless. There is absolutely nothing wrong with you, no matter what all those rules in your head say. After all, they're just rules you adopted along the way, arbitrarily, as you were growing up, trying to cope with an unending stream of new and confusing situations, trading off bits of your self esteem as you learned again and again that you were often "wrong."
But you've lived with those rules for so long, you've forgotten that each one of them was something you picked up and threw into your rag-bag of guidelines. You did it on the spur of the moment, barely thinking about the action itself. Furthermore, you did most of that picking up and adopting when you were a very small child.
Okay, so now some of the decisions made by that child are raising havoc with your adult life.
Those rules have become "true" to you. And more than true -- they've become TRUE in 40-foot high letters flashing with lightning, and thundering above you with the voices of the gods themselves.
What mere mortal would dare challenge the validity of such rules -- edicts from the gods? The hand of the Universe itself might just reach down and strike you silly. Is it any wonder that self esteem can shrink in such an environment?
But in order to free yourself from your more restrictive, unreasonable, inaccurate rules, challenging them is what you're going to have to do... stand up and face down those fearsome rules.
Fortunately, it's a lot easier than it looks from down here in non-god land.
During the past decade or so, a number of new therapies, called "energy therapies," have sprung up. Remarkably, they often produce results within breath-takingly short periods.
Instead of years and decades, you might free yourself from a long-term problem within minutes, ho59Durs or days, restoring confidence and self esteem to healthy, comfortable levels. There is the occasional problem that takes three or four months to resolve, but it's fairly rare with these new methods.
This reminds me of the legend of Alexander the Great and the Gordian knot. It seems that good King Gordius of Phrygia had tied an enormously intricate knot, then proudly announced that only the future ruler of Asia would be able to untie it. Many came and tried. All failed
Finally, Alexander the Great unloosed that knot, so the story goes, simply and directly with a single slash of his sword.
And that's similar to the situation with our mental complexes, phobias and fears. Traditional therapies niggle away at our mental "knots" for years at a time, seeking permission to "please let me be better," while the new treatments just stride right past all those impressive terminologies and therapeutic models to do the job simply and fearlessly.
Sometimes it is a single step from where you are now to full freedom and self esteem. In another article, I'll be telling you how you can use these techniques to get yourself free.
