CREATING LASTING CHANGE ™

Emotional pain is always the result of constructing and creating a disempowering meaning
within ourselves. By changing our physiology, focus, language / meaning, we can shift to a more
empowering state and make more empowering decisions.

Example

Rather than talking to an individual about some cognitive principle or thought
process, it may be just as (if not more!) efficient to shift their physiology. Just
by shifting their breathing or perhaps by taking someone who is depressed
on a walk, you begin to change their body. Suddenly, they are able to focus
on something new and come up with a new way of seeing their situation that
wasn’t available to them before.
Another example: If you’re focusing on what you think has been “done” to
you, you feel very different than if you’re focusing on what you can give in
this situation.

One last example: You can create a massive shift by changing your language
patterns. If you are using language like “this sucks” or “this is a big problem,”
you can shift your state by changing the language you use. Imagine the
difference if you replaced this language with words like “This is an interesting
challenge” or “This probably has something to teach me.”

If you know how to change your Triad, you can change your life in a moment. You can change your
state quickly with a radical change in 1) your physical body, 2) what you focus on or 3) the language
you use to define what things mean to you. If you change any one of these three things, you
change your entire experience.

Whatever you focus on you feel.
If you focus on an empowering meaning,
you’ll move into an empowered state.

The only limitation of the Triad is that states are temporary. To make the kind of consistent,
meaningful and lasting changes we want to make long-term, we have to understand what drives
us at a deeper level…
