What Else to Give Up for Lent
A friend of mine has the best Lent-fast I've heard of.
It even beats my old favorite: Self-Doubt.
He realized that he could make a at change any time, and
didn't have to wait for a special time or season.
So 40 Lents ago, you know what he gave up?
'Giving up things for Lent'.
I think that's a great idea...in the same way that I think
New Year's Resolutions are a bad idea. That sometimes
we feel like we 'have' to change something, because it's
an arbitrary date or a certain season, but our heart's not
really in it.
And it shows.
But I'm also a big fan of arbitrary dates and seasons. They're
great tools for change, growth and improvement...if you
know how to use them.
For instance, I'm going on a trip in four weeks, so I'm doing
a 'four-week focus' before I go. I'm using my upcoming
departure to help me focus on what I'd like to accomplish--
and the kind of person I want to be--four weeks from now.
The 6th Chiropractic Principle is my favorite (it's the
'Jesus wept' of Chiropractic):
'There is no process that doesn't require time.'
It doesn't really matter which particular date or season
you choose. It can be 30-60-90 days. It can be 'until
school is over', 'until Mother's Day', 'between Memorial
Day and Labor Day', whatever.
The real key to growth is using that 'arbitrary' time-frame
to awaken your sense of 'process', to help you have/do/be
what you want.
The Wheel of Life Overview and Self-Assessment is a great
exercise to help you highlight areas in your life that need
attention, growth or improvement...and get you moving.
You get it FREE when you take the 30-day Test Drive of
the Dr. Vince Caveman Club. Along with a pile of other
goodies.
This month's CD helps you appreciate the times, seasons,
and rhythms of Life, and of Health, and how you can use
those natural rhythms to your advantage. It's worth a listen
(you even get a chance to 'play along'...)

what you think about it...)

P.S. Even our best efforts can be sidetracked if we've got
a distracting, unproductive or down-right wrong 'tape'
playing in our subconscious mind. If you take the Test
Drive this month, I'll throw in a copy of last month's CD
by clinical hypnotherapist Mitzi Crall, PhD. She explains
how to change those tapes in no time.
It includes a 15-minute guided hypnosis session that you
can use any time, anywhere (just not while driving or
operating heavy machinery)...which is actually worth
TWICE the price of the test drive. Not to mention the rest
of the bonuses.
This is a No-Brainer (that's actually an ALL-Brainer).
Don't Ponder that one yet; wait until after you sign up:
