2007-2011 I taught a modality where creating well-formed belief statements was part of the curriculum. The five key elements that 500 adults accepted and learned where:
1. present tense / 2. first person / 3. positiv words / 4. short & to the point / 5. energizing & meaningful to oneself
For example: I share my knowledge, get to travel the world, and have a blast along the way.
(Instead of: I want to share my knowledge, although not only in Germany, and I hope that I’ll enjoy myself, meet people that like me, get to see interesting places, and… stop!! You get the point 😉 )
It wasn’t until I experimented and taught this modality to children, that one of them TAUGHT ME the missing principle:
6. Good for all
Since then, I practice this intention in everything I do.
Thank you, wise children, for enlightening me…
