Did you know that your body holds the key to every one of your fears, insecurities and limitations? Your body knows what you think you’re worth, why you can’t change and whether or not you can successfully negotiate a car deal. Of course we all want the most car for the least money, but most of us privately doubt whether we are really good, smart, or worthy enough to get the best deal. This type of “thinking” ends up determining our success.

How can this be? Emotions are part of the natural response process people have to virtually every situation we encounter. Each emotional response is produced from a chemical reaction in our body, triggered by events that occurred in the past. In other words, we don’t respond newly to events happening right now. Instead, our brain is programmed to attach the new experience to a prior one, some similar situation from the past. In a split second, these experiences combine, and the “new” experience triggers an unconscious reaction to the past, and we behave accordingly. In this way, “emotional baggage” from a single, seemingly insignificant past event can residually impact our behavior in the present, instantaneously building “safe” boundaries for what we say is possible, but ultimately disempowering ourselves and limiting our full potential. Negotiating for a car is a stressful occasion likely to trigger such an incongruous response in the body.

The human brain has three major parts called the neo-cortex, limbic system and reptilian brain, which all have a drive of their own. When any of these three parts are in conflict, you will sabotage your conscious will to satisfy the desires of one or more of the other drives. Emotional alignment means all three parts of your brain are rowing together in the same direction to take you where you consciously want to be going.

Suppose your neo-cortex, or conscious mind, wants you to have a successful car buying negotiation. This is rational, logical and a good way to save money. Coincidentally, your reptilian brain, which is unconscious and consumed by survival, is terrified that you’re going to be dominated and taken advantage of by the salesperson. Moreover, your limbic system or subconscious mind is paralyzed by how much the salesperson reminds you of your struggling brother, of whom you’d never dream of taking advantage.

The problem of alignment becomes obvious when described in such a hypothetical way. With these differing patterns of thought and feeling running in the background of your car negotiation, it is very unlikely that you will be successful. In most cases, however, we are clueless about what is going on in the limbic (subconscious) or reptilian (unconscious) parts of our brain.

NET®, or Neuro Emotional Technique, is a technology used to align peoples’ body and mind with the emotional prospect of manifesting their goals, dreams and visions. It creates emotional alignment between the three parts of your brain and your goals, assisting you in producing amazing results in all areas of life. NET uses the connection between your mind and body to uncover the particular patterns that are currently blocking you from manifesting your goals. Once the present and historical basis of your pattern is revealed, the unresolved energy gets released and neutralized and permanent alignment is established. You are then free to create and enjoy an experience of freedom and success in every area of life. To find out more, visit www.clearintentions.net/net.htm.

Frequently, and it’s usually when I’m driving in the car, I thinking about all the little and not-so-little tasks that need completion. For example, fixing the blinds in my bedroom, attaching the bar in the closet or sending my brother a congratulation packet. However quickly or slowly I complete tasks there always seem to be more to put on my list. And, since my projects are usually in various stages of completion, I have accepted that they are a natural part of my process of living life.

So what’s the problem with incompletions? Actually nothing. Incompletions are only a problem if they tie up your energy and drag you down–often without you even realizing what a great force they represent. Incompletions can be a problem if we allow ourselves to feel inefficient, bad, lazy or overwhelmed. Most of us have several lists of incompletions in all areas of our lives, i.e., house, career, education and family. Remember, incompletions are not always physical tasks. Some of us have incomplete communications or incomplete issues – emotional stuff that, if let go or brought to completion, would free up energy and create joy.

What to do? There are several effective ways to deal with incompletions. First, make a list of them. When you list them you may either list them by urgency, time frame or category. Incompletions can be completed in three ways: do them, delegate them or declare them complete. I know this sounds too easy, but it can be. Second, take out your list and decide which ones you are going to do, delegate or declare complete.

Hint: Be honest and complete only the goals you are going to work on in the next 90 days.

Tip: If a goal or project takes you only five minutes to complete it do it right away. You will spend more time thinking about it than it will ever take you to do the actual task. Just do it.

Tip: Very important!! Pick one thing on your list. (Start small)

If you choose to do it, do it 110% until it’s finished and…
Do not think about what isn’t being done, should be done, could be done.
Immediately stop yourself if you find yourself doing this.
