Don ' t judge yourself negatively ; instead be thankful for the information you now have . It often is the case that awareness of barriers that have been protective in the past - but no longer are applicable - is enough to melt them .
The Process
First , we bust the barriers . However , this alone still leaves a big vacuum . Like the new age concept of " abundance " ( just believing we re abundant leads to abundance ), just believing that we are successful leads to a big scar when abundance doesn ' t materialise . And , of course , this can create a new barrier to further attempts at trading . Beyond melting barriers , we need to rewire our brain for trading responses .
The second leg of the stool is a mind machine .
We still have the same basic brain that our ancestors from 50,000 years ago carried in their slightly thicker skulls . Our fastest response still comes from the amygdala ( emotional reactions ) milliseconds before the neocortex ( rational thought ) can even kick in . In order to prevent our responses from being hijacked by a survival reaction , reactions can be rewired . For example , those of us who remember learning to drive a standard transmission can recall how awkward it felt .
It took all of our concentration to coordinate the shift , the clutch , the accelerator and the brake . However , with repetition , the brain automates these activities by creating a new set of neural connections . We can drive a standard transmission , obey traffic laws , look out for potential danger and
