Personal Habit Tracking as a Spiritual Exercise; Increase Self-connection; Build a Bridge to Your Inner Wisdom

By Bruce Dickson

YOU are the greatest mystery worth solving. Tracking, experiential and hands-on, is a Best Practice in self-connection, self-healing and self-befriending. Do you need a friend? This could be it.

What do you need to do a tracking experiment? You need:

- A question you have high interest in getting a second opinion on,

- Curiosity about your habits, your own Habit Body. What am I doing? What is working for
me? what is NOT workable for me? This facilitates self-healing on all levels,

- A clear idea of who you are asking, which internal part. A simple, workable model of your psyche, is needed here.

- A format in which your inner response yesterday can be compared to your inner response today can be compared.

This book alternates between practical tracking topics; and, sketching out contexts useful for you to have a clear conceiving of what you are doing in your own tracking experiments.

Everyone is more likely to accomplish targets they track tangibly. You don't have to track every day. You don't have to track in a notebook or journal. You can track on digital apps.

A more flexible way exists too, using printer paper, cut with scissors, into 1/4 sheets. One habit-tracking-target per 1/4 sheet of paper.

Tracking is easier than self-testing. If you can already self-test, tracking is easier and will strengthen your ability to self-test.

Health Intuitive Bruce Dickson has been doing tracking most days since 1998. His Habit Body book is in its second edition.

Unconscious Patterns in the Light of the Inner Child and NLP - Most readers grew up learning our psyche is a locked black box. We were taught the contents of our psyche are unknown, probably unknowable. Now we know better. The big Aha! is our unconscious is highly patterned. You can understand and learn these patterns. Up to 95% of our psyche is is patterned. Only 5% of us is NOT patterned, the 5% of us where active, deliberate, conscious choice occurs. Soul is choice. The more aware you are of UNconsicous patterns, the less likely you are to be run by them.
