DEPROGRAMMING AND REPROGRAMMING Paul says, Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed
by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what Gods will is his good, pleasing and perfect will (Romans 12:2) Tracy rightly observes, Each of us has been programmed to walk, talk, think and act the way we do today. You cannot think, feel or behave any differently on the outside unless you change your master program, your self-concept, on the inside. you can change your program, yourself-concept, by replacing self-limiting ideas and beliefs with liberating thoughts. ( ) It is up to you. Negative ideas must be identified, removed and replaced by positive beliefs and attitude empowering information and data. The mind can be renewed by deprogramming it: By discarding the negative and wrong information which made the old programme Replacing it with empowering positive information and data. Like an engine may be renewed by overhauling it, the mind too can be renewed by removing the negative and replacing it with positive data and information. The good news is that after reprogramming a person becomes more powerful than before. He/she is not weaker like an overhauled engine. Mind set change (Renewal Resources) Some of the resources are external others are internal. External Resources i. ii. iii. iv. Motivational speakers Inspirational literature TV and Radio programmes Preachers and other positive people
Internal Resource i. ii. Silent self-talk Verbalised self-talk.
Examples of negative self-talk to avoid I am doomed to fail I am unlucky person Whatever I try fails I am never organized That house is too good for me Who am I to be invited
I am doomed to fail A Mercedes Benz is out of question for me John is a nasty person I am poor at spelling Examples of positive self talk i. I am a lucky person ii. I will be a millionaire in five years time iii. God loves me iv. My health is silently improving v. Everyday I am getting closer to my dream house etc I am a lucky person God loves me Whatever I ask god gives it to me I love my job I am successful person I always get what I want I keep time and manage it well My Mercedes Benz is gradually getting realized I forgive whoever offends me John is a nice person I am improving at spelling Every day I am getting closer to my dream house My health is silently improving I am in control of my life. This is deprogramming and reprogramming oneself.
