4. Exercise 4: ______ ______________________________

______ Sets of _________ Reps

“Neutrality” or “Trust”

There are two words used in this section. “Neutrality” implies that there is almost a detachment or a relinquishment. This word was taken from Power vs. Force where I’ve used Dr. Hawking’s word Neutrality. For myself and many of my clients the same result is generated by substituting the word “Trust” or "Faith". Whichever one you wish to use will be fine. Trust will be the emotion used in this section.

Definition of “Neutrality”:

The state of being neutral. Not aligned with or supporting any side or position of a controversy.

Definition of “Trust”:

Reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc., of a person or thing; confidence.

5. Exercise 5: ______ ______________________________

“Willingness” or “Determination”

Once again I’m using Hawking’s word “Willingness” while adding my own word “Determination”. Use whichever word will serve you best.

Disposed or consenting; inclined. Done, given, bourn, used, etc. Cheerful readiness.

6. Exercise 6: ______ ______________________________

______ Sets of _________ Reps

“Acceptance” or “Forgiveness”

Once again using “Acceptance” (Hawking) and “Forgiveness” (my own). Both imply a call to look at something honestly and come to grips with it.  Both are very active expressions of human emotion. Acceptance requires a dealing with a situation “as is”. Forgiveness is an important word to me because it further releases any negative emotions associated with seeing things clearly.

Definition of “Acceptance”:

The act of taking or receiving something offered. The act of assenting or believing.

Definition of “Forgiveness”:

Act of forgiving. To grant pardon for or remission of (an offense; debt); absolve. To give up all claim on account of; remit. To cancel indebtedness or liability of.
