Introduction

Emergency Kit is for people who are having a crisis with the conflicting thoughts, beliefs, and feelings of their conscious self versus their subconscious. This crisis can be triggered by an emergency. By emergency I mean an unexpected and unwanted occurrence in your life: for example, a sudden loss of a loved one, a relationship, or your job. Or you experience a disappointment of some kind: a financial setback, a promotion that didn’t come through, a weight gain, a health challenge—the list can go on and on.

Feelings of fear, pain, doubt, resentment, anger, and lack can come over you so quickly that you don’t even realize why you’re feeling so bad— and this feeling can linger long after the event has passed. Days, weeks, months, and sometimes years go by and still you continue to act as if and feel as if the emergency were happening today, and guess what? You are completely unaware of it; you don’t have a clue what’s lurking in the subconscious.

Now, after a string of past emergencies that still affect you today, you’re constantly wondering:

3

“Why haven’t any of my dreams come true? Why am I constantly stuck on the same page of my life?” You may even be discouraged by the tons of self-help books, tapes, seminars, and affirmations that were supposed to work but haven’t. This can happen to anyone. Even people familiar with The Secret and the Law of Attraction can lose sight of their intention.

Sometimes your mind quickly runs toward negativity. Get that speeding train off its current track of negativity, doubt, fear, lack, and the constant focus on what you don’t want. Get back on the track of your positive intentions and focus only on what you do want.

The Self: Conscious of the Subconscious

To better help you through this ongoing state of emergency in your mind, I have included in the first chapter an example of what a conversation between the conscious self and the subconscious would sound like. In this dialogue the self, usually unconscious and unaware of the deep- rooted emotions and negative conditions of the subconscious, begins to get a sense of the influence that the subconscious has on the self. The subconscious accepts and holds on to the

constantly affirmed beliefs, feelings, and emotions of the self. This is the missing piece in many self-help books I have read. That is, if the

5

self is unaware of the subconscious condition, whether positive or negative, the reaction of the subconscious is what creates your surroundings and results.

Who is really speaking? Is it the old, deeply ingrained patterns of the subconscious, which in a state of emergency are the unwanted feelings and thoughts that continue to percolate into your conscious mind, old patterns of negative thinking you have never let go of? Or is it the self, speaking from a place of new, positive awakening. In this state of emergency, the self needs to be conscious as to what it really believes, to be aware of what’s going on in the

6

subconscious. If your self is speaking positively but you really don’t believe it, then something contrary to that positive, abundant affirmation is still held tightly in the subconscious—a contradictory condition or pattern that produces the same negative results.

The good news is that when the self is conscious of its feelings and where those emotions come from, an emergency can be but a moment in your life instead of morphing into negative patterns that get entrenched in the subconscious. As you move forward with a positive affirmation as to what you do want, the subconscious begins to accept the affirmations

7

and visualizations of the new, positive self. The result can therefore only be positive.

If the dialogue in chapter 1 sounds or feels familiar, please take a few minutes to complete the exercises presented in the kit in chapter 3. Not only will these tools help you move out of emergency mode, but they will also place your self and subconscious into a life only you and God can create— life of what you do want!

A Dialogue

Chapter 1

Here is an example of a conversation between the self and the subconscious, if the subconscious could speak its hidden thoughts, beliefs, and feelings to the self while in emergency mode.

SELF

[standing naked in front of a mirror] Yes, I can!

Yes, I can! Yes, I can!

9

SUBCONSCIOUS

Oh yeah, those were the days, admiring yourself in front of the mirror.

We are not as confident since the emergency.

SELF

Yes, I can!

I love and approve of myself.

All is well in my world. I am in a loving space.

SUBCONSCIOUS

I do not love and approve of myself—screw the world!

10

SELF

I am now a size 4 and looking good.

SUBCONSCIOUS

Who are you trying to kid? You are a large size 4teen.

SELF

I am now accepting a wonderful new high- paying job and... and...

SUBCONSCIOUS

How much?

11

SELF

Right... OK, I am a money magnet.

I now accept a wonderful new job worth millions.

SUBCONSCIOUS

Hmmm, really?

How much are you really worth? Millions feels a little high; come down a little bit.

And say it with more feeling.

12

SELF

I am a thousandaire!

SUBCONSCIOUS

How are you going to create that kind of wealth?

SELF

I’m not supposed to worry about the how, just the what. Duh.

SUBCONSCIOUS

OK, smarty pants, what do you want?

13

SELF

I don’t know.

SUBCONSCIOUS

There lies the problem. If you don’t know, I will be happy to continue our negative habits. A whole cake sounds good about now—we are in an emergency!

SELF

I stare down the tunnel of my eyes into my soul. I believe!

14

SUBCONSCIOUS

Nice try! I didn’t feel that at all! You’re not even looking into your eyes.

SELF

Yes, I can? Yes, I can. Yes, I can!

SUBCONSCIOUS

Guess what? No, you can’t! Just look at you! The nerve of you to say that and standing there naked. Put your clothes back on. What were you thinking? Eating your feelings has made you obese, and your job sucks! You’re resentful

15

because you lost your spirit. “Yes, I can”? Self, please!

SELF/SUBCONSCIOUS

No, I can’t.

SUBCONSCIOUS

No, you cannot settle for mediocrity. Mediocrity is easier—a box of donuts for breakfast.

Sound familiar?

16

SELF

I can start over on Monday. Give your Self a break.

SUBCONSCIOUS

That’s right. We’ve been thinking this way for years.

Put off changing till tomorrow.

SELF/SUBCONSCIOUS

Thank God we settled that! That was exhausting.

17

SUBCONSCIOUS

Putting things off feels good, Self, as comforting as a gigantic, crunchy carbo-cookie or an octuplet bacon cheeseburger.

SELF

I have nothing to wear. Nothing fits. I’m so fat. How can anybody love this?

I hate my life. I shoulda, coulda, woulda...

SUBCONSCIOUS
