We cause
pain as we
put it on
the to-do
list,
knowing we
are going to
do all we
can to avoid
doing it for
as long as
possible.
And pain
because we
know it will
eventually
be painful
when we do
it, and then
there is the
daily pain
as we avoid
doing it. We
have used
the power of
our mind to
create all
of this
pain… which
hurts us!
This pain is
all going on
inside your
mind and it
is
perpetuated
by your ego.
You say,
‘I’ve got to
do this job’
and your ego
says, ‘No
you haven’t,
I’ll get you
out of it.’
Of course it
can’t get
you out of
it so you
put the job
off and
cause
yourself
more pain
daily
between now
and when you
do the job.
By then the
job is
really
painful and
well
overdue.
Basically
you are
turning a
job which
you don’t
like into a
painful task
that you’ll
spend a lot
of time
regretting
not doing
before you
actually do
it. By the
time you do
it you have
made it into
this really
painful task
but when you
actually do
it, a lot of
the time you
think, ‘Hey
that wasn’t
so bad.’
This is
because you
have falsely
created the
pain in your
mind.
But there is
a way to
turn these
tasks into
painless
tasks and it
is very
simple… You
just stop
creating the
pain.
The task is
not painful,
it is how
you feel
about it
which
creates the
pain. If you
can learn to
accept the
task and not
feel one way
or another
about it
then you can
just do the
task without
pain.
Consider
this, would
you like to
learn a
technique
which meant
you never
had any more
painful
tasks? Of
course you
would, who
wouldn’t.
But the
problem
isn’t
learning it,
I can teach
you it here.
The problem
will be
applying it
as your ego
likes the
pain, as the
pain keeps
you trapped.
So I can
show you how
to do it but
you have to
convince
your ego to
let you do
it. |

"Successful people know that the shortest route between here and where they want to go is the one which does not involve them getting in their own way." |

Once you
have done
this and
demonstrated
to yourself
that you can
do painful
tasks
without
pain, then
this is what
will happen…
You will
slip back to
your old way
of doing it
and the
tasks will
once again
be painful.
This is
because you
ego knows
how to get
to you. And
when you
notice that
you had the
power to
stop it and
you lost it
and caused
pain again,
then it is
time for you
to read A
Bug Free
Mind. This
works on
getting rid
of the
voices in
your head
telling you
to go the
wrong way.
So back to
the point,
if you
accept the
task just is
and decide
not to
create pain,
the task
becomes
easier, this
is the power
of
acceptance
at work. If
you use it
then it
really is
the secret
to making
any task
easier.
It takes a
lot of
effort in
mind power
to turn a
task into a
painful
task, but it
takes little
to no mind
power to
just accept
a task as it
is. The only
mind power
you need to
expel is
that of
remembering
to notice
not to
create pain.
So it is
easier to do
it with no
pain than it
is to do it
with pain.

This
Can
Be
Applied
To
Any
Task
Let
me
give
you
a
couple
of
examples.
Let’s
say
you
have
to
tackle
an
unpleasant
task
of
cleaning
out
the
garage
or
something
similar.
Now
this
is
not
the
most
fun
job
in
the
world
and
you’ve
probably
been
putting
it
off
for
quite
a
while.
However,
if
you
use
the
art
of
acceptance
that
you
have
this
job
to
do
then
the
task
has
no
pain
and
therefore
get’s
easier.
So
let’s
look
at
approaching
it,
the
task
has
to
be
done
to
get
the
benefit
of a
clean
garage
+
xyz
benefit.
Because
we
wish
to
have
that
benefit,
those
thoughts
help
us.
Only
thoughts
that
help
us
to
do
this
task
are
of
any
use
to
us.
If
we
think
this
task
is
going
to
be
painful
then
how
is
that
going
to
help
us
do
the
task?
|
|
So if it
helps us
then think
about it, if
it doesn’t
help us,
notice that
you have
this thought
and just
ask, ‘How is
thinking
this way
helping me?’
That’s all,
don’t judge
it, just ask
that and the
thought will
dissolve.
If we think
anything
other than
good
thoughts
about this
task, or no
thoughts,
then they
are the only
things which
will help
with the
task. If you
are the sort
of person
who needs to
think
positively
to shut out
the negative
thoughts
then that is
only because
you haven’t
silenced
your mind.
If you still
need to
learn how to
silence your
mind then
you can
download for
free the 1st
5 chapters
of Creating
A Bug Free
Mind.
Trying to
think
positively
does not
help, that
takes way
too much
effort and
there is no
need to
think
positively,
there is
only a need
to not think
negatively
as this
hinders you.
Thinking
positively
will only
cause a
re-balance
at some
point and a
painful low.
So we do not
think
positively,
we just
think
workman
style. You
go about
planning for
the task and
doing the
task in a
workman
style
approach.
Every
painful task
loses its
pain if you
just accept
it as a
task, do not
allow
yourself to
think
negatively
about it and
go about the
task in a
workman
style
approach.
The secret
is to notice
if you are
causing pain
and in your
awareness of
it, just ask
yourself
what
possible
benefit
could there
be in me
causing pain
towards this
task.
Let’s say
you have to
break up
with someone
(end a
relationship),
or you’re an
employer and
you have to
sack
someone.
It’s usually
hard to do
this and it
is almost
certain that
you are not
going to
enjoy doing
it. However,
if you learn
to accept
what is and
not put up
barriers of
thought
which say, I
wish it
wasn’t this
way, then
you can just
carry out
the task in
a workman
style way.
When you
accept what
is and what
you must do
then it
frees you
from the
attachment
to the
situation.
This is not
about making
you feel
good about
these tasks,
it is just
about
ensuring
that you do
not feel
bad.
You now can
carry out
the task in
a relaxed,
matter of
fact way,
whereby you
just do the
task knowing
that it will
be done in
the most
painless way
possible. As
the task
moves ahead,
your relaxed
demeanour
will come
across. The
other person
may get
angry about
it but you
just say,
‘Look this
is the way
it is and
it’s not
going to
change.’ You
say it
calmly and
without
force.
You can then
help them if
they are
receptive by
saying you
were not
looking
forward to
this but you
just
accepted it
the way it
was and
dealt with
it. When you
are in
acceptance
then you can
do this
calmly and
without
reaction.
The other
person
cannot phase
you because
you are just
going about
it in a very
workman
style
approach. |

"Successful people don't like some of the work they do. So they do it efficiently without creating pain for themselves and then design their lives to avoid the work in their future." |
|
|
Now if you
look through
your to-do
list and
identify the
tasks on
there which
you wanted
rid of and
cause pain,
just
schedule
them in to
remove them
over the
next few
weeks
without
pain.
|
When
a
new
painful
task
comes
in,
accept
it
straight
away
that
it
has
to
be
done.
You
are
not
going
to
create
pain
around
it.
You
are
not
going
to
create
frustration
and
discomfort.
You
are
just
going
to
schedule
it
to
be
done.
Then
before
you
do
it,
spend
your
time
considering
how
it
will
feel
when
it
is
done,
do
not
spend
time
considering
how
difficult
the
task
will
be.
Just
think
about
the
benefits
of
it
being
done
and
how
you
are
simply
going
to
go
about
it
in a
very
workman
style
way. |

Before, you
used the
power of
your mind by
accident to
turn an
uncomfortable
task into a
painful one.
Now you are
using your
mind power
to turn any
uncomfortable
task into a
‘non-task’ -
something
which you
just do!
You are
using the
law of least
effort to
complete the
task and you
are using
the law of
least effort
to avoid all
feelings of
pain and
discomfort.
I'd like to
share with
you a whole
host of pain
free
solutions -
so I've set
up access to
the first
five
chapters of
my book
"Creating A
Bug Free
Mind."
You'll learn
EXACTLY what
it takes to
control your
thinking so
that you can
avoid
creating
your own
pain. You'll
also
experience a
taste of how
applying all
of the
techniques
in my books
will reduce
your
workload
throughout
your life.
