I felt in the trap again!

It’s not because I didn’t know: we learn about that trap early in the Master Key System, and I am a student of it since three years…Also, as a guide, I have shown the trap to MKMMA students probably a few dozens of times…

Please, don’t think about a pink elephant.

I like to call this trap “the trap of the pink elephant“.

You already know the story: if I tell you “don’t think about a pink elephant”, your brain will automatically form the image of a pink elephant on the screen of your mind, and you will have no other way but to think about it.

Of course, it is rather harmless to think about a pink elephant (unless for those who are drunk, but that’s another story 🙂 )

However it could be harmful to think about other things…that we don’t want to think about!

For example “I don’t want to be broke”, “I don’t want to be sick”, “I don’t want to weight so much”, etc…

My trap this time has been that “I don’t want to go to sleep so late”… Indeed, I had since a few months let my daily schedule slipped away until I was no more in my bed before 2am every day…that was at least a 2 hours gap with respect to my usual habit.

Of course, I had plenty of good “reasons” to explain this shift, but the truth was that a program in my old blueprint was triggering that shift.

And my “I don’t want to go to sleep so late” was inexorably reinforcing that program.

It took me several weeks until I realized my mistake, just in the middle of a conversation with a business partner…

Once I became aware of the situation, the great training we got from the mkmma program made me easy to change: first, I switched my command to “I am in my bed before midnight”, second, I started feeling the rewards of being in my bed so early … and the magic started to operate, being back to 1am or less in just a few days…This process is still in progress, and I know that it will bring me to “normal” in just a few more days or weeks.

What could be the lessons of this little story?

Knowledge is not enough to ensure the correct behaviors; we should always remain watchful about how we turn our phrases and our thoughts; it is always the elephant (subconscious mind) which determines our actions, not the ant (the conscious mind).

And to help me remind this last point, I envisage to imagine from now my inner elephant as a pink one 🙂
