Re: A book by Debbie Ford - "Why People Do Bad Things"
'As she neutralized the pain and got rid of the lies in her reality (which she calls "fiction"), she almost immediately attracted employment, a career, and relationships. I have learned that when I quit lying to myself, it opens up many new and exciting things in my life. I'm still using this book as a guide to healing what was once a tremendously loving relationship that ended in divorce several years ago.'
Can you cite some of the methods she used to neutralize her pain?
'When we heal our pain and our internalized fiction, we will attract what is appropriate in our life at the time, whether it is love, money, or happiness. Debbie is a great author who speaks from experience instead of a clinical or philosophical point of view. You have to be willing to look at yourself but through the techniques in her books, the internal mud pies you find can easily turn into pearls.'
I've had this book on my shelf for nearly 6 months. I, too sense that we self-sabotage what LOA is poised to have us experience because of these patterns we unconsciously engage. Thanks for the reminder. I've just taken it down from the bookshelf!
