Freedom From Unrealistic Expectations
Do you do things as well as they need to be done, or are you trying for perfection? Is anyone else as hard on you as you are on yourself? Maybe it’s time to examine why you are exhausting yourself trying to live up to impossibly high standards. Most of the time those standards come from fantasies you create when you are exposed to media examples of others who seem to effortlessly manage their lives. It doesn’t really matter if the media is television, movies, magazines or social media—it isn’t real. Next time you feel stressed because you think you don’t measure up, think about when you figured out that you were supposed to be a certain way. It could even have been watching super-hero cartoons when you were a kid. Then, try using the 3 Logosynthesis sentences to reclaim your energy from the fantasy that you can do “that”, whatever “that” is. Pay special attention to sentence 2 which helps you remove the outside, “non-me” energy from your entire system. You are releasing the energy you have picked up from other people, places and things. This frees you to use your energy to figure out what you and your family really want and need. You will be amazed at how the stress you have learned to create for yourself simply evaporates. Be sure to check out the simple instructions in “Letting It Go.” Grab a copy now, while you are thinking about it.
Book Excerpt
Letting It Go
Letting Go is Challenging
Resetting your autopilot and releasing the frozen energy can be time consuming and challenging. Spiritually based systems such as prayer and meditation have been developed over hundreds, even thousands of years to help cope with this problem. Many types of psychotherapy teach clients to change their reactions to current stress. Some kinds of psychotherapy try to reprogram brain connections. New energy therapies seem to do that also. One of these, “Tapping” in its various forms, is currently very popular.
Some of these technologies relieve your distressing reactions without any attempt to learn what caused your distress. Logosynthesis does ask the question, “What originally caused those reactions?” That is because the goal is to free the frozen energy that is used to hold on to the protection from the original situation and return it to where it belongs now.
At the same time this is done, the original problem that was so overwhelming when there were not enough resources to manage it becomes ordinary and even insignificant in relationship to currently available resources.
You can use the Logosynthesis sentences as another way of resetting your automatic pilot. The “you” that does the job is not the same you as the “you” who is reading this book and trying to manage your stress and anxiety. It is your essential inner “true Self.” Some people think of it as the “you” that is connected to all that is. I won’t attempt to define this any further. Just know that in the sentences that follow “I” means that part of you.
These sentences have been developed and revised since Dr. Willem Lammers discovered the basic principles of Logosynthesis in 2005.
Dr. Lammers is a therapist and coach who is highly trained in many different modalities. Once, while consulting on a difficult case, he observed that the client was referring to a part of herself as if it actually existed in the space next to her. When he invited the client to rejoin with this form in space, everything changed very suddenly.
You can read details of this story in his book, Self Coaching with Logosynthesis: How the Power of Words Can Change Your Life, for far more information than I am including here. If this process appeals to you, I highly recommend that you get it and study it in detail. For now, use this quick guide to get started.
