They got quite upset and sat there for a while watching this other dreadful movie and to make matters worse, the movie was on a topic that they just despise!
However, as much as they kept willing themselves to 'Get up and walk out!', they remained stuck, transfixed in their seat, unable to move. Their wonderful trip to the movies turned into a horror show!!!!
How would you feel if your friend told you such a story? Your heart just goes out to them doesn't it and you feel sorry for their plight? But you ask them "Why didn't you just get up and walk out? Why did you feel that you had to sit there watching that monstrosity? They shrug their shoulders and mumble "I dunno." You say to yourself "That was foolish of them to act that way!"
Yes, it was foolish of them, wasn't it? But hold on a moment, I have to tell you something...that person in the cinema is YOU!!
Before you let me have a piece of your mind via the comments box, let me explain: What do you feel like when you don't get the outcome you planned for in life, whether its in your health, sport or personal improvement? Frustrated? Annoyed? Confused, right? And the more you try to overcome it, the more it stews in your mind, isn't it? I know exactly where you're coming from, I myself have been in that situation a few times and I meet many more who suffer the same fate. The poor experience plays over and over in your mind and you just can't manage to get rid of it, right?
Wrong!
As I explain to many of my clients, you are your own movie director, like Steven Speilberg. The reason you didn't get up and walk out of the movie is because you've created an unconscious over-powering, unhelpful strategy in allowing that movie to continue to play, uninterrupted. What you don't realize yet, is that you already have the resources to change the movie, you just need to learn how to get into the projector room to do so.
It's not easy to turn those powerful negative feelings and thoughts into more empowering, structural actions, is it? That's right, its not easy but then, its not impossible either. Learn how to get into the projector room. You know what has helped me overcome such moments? Some simple, easy to use strategies and techniques! Strategies and techniques that I will be revealing in our upcoming complimentary webinar.
The webinar is themed for sports people but believe me, the techniques are easily transferred to any and every lifestyle and background. I'll also be providing you with extra information and you'll stay tuned for that during the webinar.
The title is: '5 Easy Steps to Overcoming Poor Sporting Performances'. We already ran one just recently, which was a great success, so due to demand, we're running another very soon. You'll need to register for the complimentary webinar and you'll need to do so pretty promptly!
