Читать книгу Piece Of Mind - Sandy MacGregor - Страница 14

Here's another exercise. Take a pencil, and once again in the space provided, write down why you decided to read this book. What is your expectation, what do you want out of this book? You could even ask your friends to have a glance at the book and see what they would get out of it. What I'm promoting here is to have a discussion with yourself, and others, to work out what reasons you have to read, study and do the exercises in this book. Whilst this may be difficult for you to do, I encourage you to share your reasons with someone. There's always quite a variety of reasons from all those involved.

Let me now share with you what I'm going to cover – what my reason or aim is, for writing this book.

•Firstly I am going to show you how you can obtain relaxation and release stress quickly. To achieve this though there is one proviso, and that is – that you want to do it! If you do not really want to do it, then that probably means that you are not ready for it yet. I guess it's a bit like giving up smoking, if you don't really want to do it then you will not succeed in giving it up. The same with relaxation and releasing stress, there will be a “struggle” going on in your mind and you cannot possibly achieve relaxation unless you want to do it.

•Secondly I will cover accelerated learning skills. In fact what will happen with accelerated learning skills is that you can experience some of the skills by reading and doing the exercises in this book – we've already started. The “how to apply it” to things like study and work will also emerge. Of course the actual study you will need to do yourself!

•Thirdly, I will show you a way to achieve your goals faster. The goal can be whatever you like, for instance wanting to relieve pain, wanting more self-confidence, wanting to give up smoking or to release weight (we don't say lose weight any more because if you lose something you want to go and find it again), achieving success, increasing sales, controlling anger, overcoming insomnia, better communication, achieving a certain mark. Whatever your goal may be, you will find a way of achieving that goal faster – much faster than it took me when I first learned about how to do this, and we'll come to the reasons why.

Is the reason why you decided to read this book covered by the three points above? Look back to what you wrote down in the last exercise.
