Thanks for putting them in order for us! Not to mention, using your magical words to make them clear.

There's just so much to learn! It's great to see the stages written in black and white ... I can see where I am up to in my life. In some areas, I am Stage 4 (hopefully at Stage 5 very, very soon) ... in others, yeah I'm at Stage 1 - so the only way is up!!! I refuse to regress into denial!!! It's funny how some things just "happen" though - and it's seemingly effortless - and with other things, you have to work the process ... until you wear it down!!! That's what I'm doing most of the time ... "wearing down" the change process until it's exhausted and I am empowered and Da Winner (mwah ah aaahhh)!!!! Nice post. I'll go now. Em ( ) x Wowsers Craigo,

I continously tell my friends, family and psychologist about how much I have learnt from your website. I hope you do put a book together because I believe I would be a really good candidate in selling it. I print most of your material and am thinking of making my own folder because I have so much info l'd like to keep and share with others. Hi Craig,

I had my first child 3 weeks ago, and the shocking change to the way I 'control' my time and my body has forced me to seriously re-consider what's important to me and how much time I am willing to put aside for various tasks. I've noticed that the limited time I have for myself is being used to far greater productivity than when I used to have the whole day to get things done. Having a baby might be a fairly extreme way to figure out your priorities but I think it could be worth everyone's while to create some sort of false sense of urgency at least once or twice a week, and watch how your mindset changes in terms of what truly matters to you.

I dont really understand anything anymore Craig but I do know we video taped me on the weekend and I am sure i saw at least an extra 3 kilos that shouldnt be there.. and well that was the beginning of my lovely 'friends' honesty telling me to drop my standards blah blah.. need i go on! Anyway I look at the facts in my life at present and THEY dont match to the hard work I have put in for the last 4 - 5 years... even MY boss said it was just bad timing.. but you know what I am a realist and I like to think it is or it isnt.. So I am going to book in for session as I cant work out what I am doing wrong... Wish I could add more today, but this is how it is. Thanks Craig...

Yay - another Brisbane'ite. Ok, lets both make a mutual commitment here. When are you going to go there? Let's meet there one day... soon'ish :) That's not too far from me. (I'm in Wynnum). It'll be good to 'know' someone. I feel half scared coz I'll be like a fish out of water. The unknown is also exciting too. Isn't it exciting when you have a 'hungry mind' opposed to a hungry stomach that wants - but doesn't need - crap food? It's actually really amazing what you can be 'suddenly' prepared to do and sacrifice when you are fully focused and committed. See, without the desire to change or learn about something, nothing much will happen. Ever. Craig - you are so right with that. So, no trying to skip Stage 1, kids! Hey, I'm really serious about the above. I'm currently not working at the moment so am as free as a bee. Name a day and time and I'll be there... unless it clashes with my training :) Hi Allyson – thanks so much for that. Yay – another Brisbane’ite. Ok, lets both make a mutual commitment here.

I do believe that this is one of the things that makes change the hardest- our sense of who we are, our identity, is all wrapped up in how we behave currently, and it resists our new behaviors. (Another thing I think for many, especially women, is that we don't do enough for ourselves in terms of energy we could give so we could do what we want to do- or spend the money we want to spend- on ourselves, instead we spend that money or energy on others!) I was able to become a person who meditates every day by spending a large amount of money on a conference (Chopra) and then telling myself, "You spent the money, now you have to make it worth it." That was a backdoor. (For those of you struggling with getting a practice- I did for years, and I recommend Davidji's "rise-pee-meditate" method. Just do it in that order. Every day. If you have a system, and you tell yourself "I am a person who meditates after waking every day", it will come.) I am working consistently on telling myself that I have the identity that I want in terms of social & financial status, and I definitely have made a lot of difference in my life- not finished- but on my way. Seeing the world differently because of the different thinking patterns I've grown is a great thing. :) One of the concepts of the spiritual philosophy I work towards practicing is that we have to create the “being” before the “doing”.
