Following yesterday’s introduction to Neuro-Associative Conditioning (NAC), the lesson of Day 4 was to introduce the basic concepts of breaking or interrupting old patterns of associations. What does this mean? It means that when you start to find yourself doing the things that impede or get in the way of your goals, your mind is already in a neuro-association, it’s already in some sort of pattern. A pattern that’s probably been with you for quite some time. According to the lesson, these patterns need to change and be conditioned with better associations in order for you to succeed.

This makes sense to me. One of my bad patterns is that I still have a tendency to procrastinate and push things back to the last minute. I don’t know why I continue to do it. I know I shouldn’t, but for some reason, this old pattern of thinking continues to be with me. The pattern of association that it’s OK for me to procrastinate, or that it’s OK for me take my time on it. And I think this has hurt me a lot more than I know.

So what needs to happen? I need to interrupt myself whenever I find myself doing it. Whenever I catch myself procrastinating, I need to find ways to stop and start doing what I need to do. Also, I need to start associating better things by NOT procrastinating. Still not sure how to do that, however.

Hmm, I feel like I still have a long way to go. But I’ll mark today as a success in learning more about myself in this self-improvement journey. Wahoo!

Day 4 of Personal Power!
