 THE ONE PAGE SUMMARY

Describe your situation...

1 Difficult action: ___________________________________________

Write it down so you can look at it.

2 Remove judgement: _________, many people struggle with___________,

you are not alone.
Really let this sentence sink in.

3 Find the pattern elsewhere: ______________________________

____________________________________________________________
Where else does this show up?

4 Describe the identity: ____________________________________

How would you describe the person who experiences this pattern?
That’s who you believe yourself to be. But it’s only a belief.

Spend 30 seconds in the basket, holding it all...

• Place all of the things you wrote down into a mental basket.
• Set a timer for 30 seconds and hold them all as real but not true for just 30 seconds at a time.
• Hold all things that come up inside the basket during the 30 seconds.

For example...
If you want to run, hold that in the basket without running.
If it becomes too much, hold that in the basket without running.
If you start to feel more free, hold that in the basket without running.

And always hold things a real but not true.

 IN CLOSING
Please make this process your own

Hold anything you want in the basket.

Skip steps if that works for you.
Jump from difficult action straight to identity.

Use the best friend sentence for everything you struggle with.

BE KIND TO YOURSELF.
BE YOUR OWN GURU.
BE YOUR OWN BEST FRIEND.

I love you all,

Dane
