Relax,
Go To Neutral Copyright
© Jan Tincher - All Rights reserved Do you know what "Go to neutral" means? . . . We all have negative responses that don't get us anywhere. What we do with them when we have them is the key to good health. When you learn to "Relax, go to neutral" you will be better equipped to handle negative emotions. Here's how you learn how to "Go to neutral." Put your hands twelve inches apart, with one hand over the other, palms facing. Now, put them twenty-four inches apart. Anything under the one foot level is anger, hatred, fear, apathy, pettiness, bitterness, and any other negative thought or emotion. Anything from the one foot range to the two foot range is a loving, happy, joyous, and any other positive thought or emotion. What's between the area of negative and positive? You guessed it. Neutral. Have you ever heard the statement, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything"? Well, if you can't have a positive response, emotion, or reaction, at least go to neutral. That would be close to "Don't say anything" only it would be almost like "If you can't have a positive response, emotion, or reaction, don't FEEL anything." What if you have a thought of hatred, or something equally deep and negative? See if you can raise it to one of love. Kind of hard, right at that moment, isn't it? Especially if the emotion is very deep. That's when you need to trigger the response, "Relax, go to neutral." If you can't get to an empowering emotion like love, you can at least go to neutral, can't you? That's not so hard. Why don't you practice visualizing hatred for a moment? (I know that sounds weird to "practice" hatred, but bear with me.) Make it an immediate hatred that causes you problems, if you can -- if you can't, find another emotion that does. Practice visualizing your emotion, then raising your hand to the imaginary neutral mark. When you see your hand coming up, that's the trigger that says your hatred is now being neutralized. Your hand comes up, your negative feeling is being neutralized. Your hand comes up, your negative feeling is being neutralized. Your hand comes up, your negative feeling is being neutralized. Get the idea? Good! If you have another negative thought, raise your hand to the imaginary neutral mark, then think good thoughts. If you have another negative thought, put your hand on the imaginary neutral mark, think good thoughts. If you have another negative thought, put your hand on the imaginary neutral mark, think good thoughts. If you have another negative thought . . . Well, you get that idea, too. Now, do the above with other areas, such as a negative thought or emotion after making a judgment. Watch as using the gesture takes you to neutral and you think good thoughts. "I hate that!" Relax, put your hand up, go to neutral, think good thoughts. "Nobody likes me!" Relax, put your hand up, go to neutral, think good thoughts. "I'm not going to do that." Relax, put your hand up, go to neutral, think good thoughts. "No way I'll ever date her/finish the project/make enough money!" Relax, put your hand up, go to neutral, think good thoughts. Your brain does not know the difference between real and vividly imagined. So if you're somewhere where you don't want to raise your hand, vividly imagine raising your hand. *** If you want to read more about how your brain does not know the difference between real and vividly imagined, click here and read, "What If Life Doesn't Hand You A Lemon? Imagine It Anyway!"*** "I hate coffee breath." Put your hand up, relax, go to neutral, think good thoughts. (You may think that's an odd one, but I know a lady that says that, and she immediately makes a judgment about the person. If it's a guy, she won't go out with him because she smelled coffee on his breath. Maybe one of you have done something similar?) What is it that is limiting your life? Do you say it all the time? Can you put your hand up, relax, go to neutral, think good thoughts? Think about it. What do you think that stops you from doing things, automatically? What do you think that defines you as short-sighted? "Women with crooked teeth turn me off." If a woman with crooked teeth joins this man's crowd, he goes elsewhere. Does paranoid ring a bell? Can he change? Definitely. "I can't respect someone who is shorter than me." This person won't go to a person's seminar, listen to a person's tapes, or read a person's books if he discovers that that person is shorter than he. There are MANY fantastic people out there that he could learn from. At this point, they are shorter, and quite possibly smarter, than he. How about when we make an "always" or "never" statement? People live up or down to our expectations. Do you realize how limiting those statements are, for you AND the other person? "She always gets her way." Put your hand up, relax, go to neutral, think good thoughts. "He always smells." Relax, put your hand up, go to neutral, think good thoughts. "She always picks her nose." Relax, put your hand up, go to neutral, think good thoughts. "He never finishes a job." Relax, put your hand up, go to neutral, think good thoughts. "He's always broke." Relax, put your hand up, go to neutral, think good thoughts. When we say these things, we label someone. Let's not label them anymore. Instead, why don't we just put our hand on the neutral mark, and "Relax, go to neutral"? Be a friend. Live life, love life, give life to those around you. Thanks
