Comments on: Separating Behavior From Intention

Intention is a wonderful aspect of our lives. It is with intent, aka, grounded awareness, that we become most successful in every aspect of our lives.

As for writers block – I’ve had a fair amount of success with one particular author utilizing Parts Therapy. For this fellow there was a part of him that found reasons to not write, fears surrounding the act of writing. When we were able to uncover those, he was able to get back to his work.

Wishing you all well.

The reason why we do the things we do is oftentimes derived from our motivating condition. In general, emotions drive our behavior due to a perceived level of stimulation. Since behavior is typically based upon achieving a desired emotional state, creating a better modality for coping with our stress is a very entertaining option.

Another consideration is eliminating the source of the emotional state that triggers our troublesome response in the first place. If “peer pressure” was the motivating condition, then a feeling of being accepted would end the juvenile need to belong from an adult’s perspective. The original condition becomes irrelevant because it no longer exists.

Edited comment to above: In NLP we have a core belief. That is: BEHIND EVERY BEHAVIOUR THERE IS A POSITIVE INTENTION. Now this may seem odd in some situations sooo if one adds “FOR SELF” to the end of it, you’ve got it.

Now you know exactly where Keith is coming from. Find that positive intention and build on it.

Those with writing challenges are using the “wrong” mind. The inner mind is the creative part of us. Learn how to turn it loose to do that which it does so very, very well. A good hypnosis training will do wonders for you. As Dr. Richard Bandler said m/l: This book wrote itself. I took my conscious mind and went to Florida on vacation.

Perhaps you can talk Keith into a personal training. He has done that in the past and is quite good IMO.

Yes, I would be fascinated by anything about cures for writer’s block, as a formerly published but now struggling author…

I’m new to hypnosis and fascinated so far. I used self hypnosis to high dive and it worked. Prior I was phobic. Recently I worked at The Jazz Festival in Vancouver for one week. I had amazing experiences. Colourful, bright, rich, interesting, warm, bizzarre, funny and down right neat. I met some famous people. So now, when I sit down and try to write about it, even think about it, I get hit with this energy wave so strong that I am having a hard time channelling the energy into a story. I’m wondering if Keith could post a suggestion. I want to write a great story, and I can, yet there seems to be this………

Hi Keith,

You gave me a good suggestion a while back about success and sabotage and it seems to have worked, still is working, pretty well. Thank you, I completlyu appertciated that. Anyway I’m reading away here and thinking, man this guy is a good writer. I read the add for cds and MP3 downloads. The migrane sufferer. So I’m wondering, what causes writers block and how do you remove it ? That’s a heavy question, maybe too much for this format. But if you could write a couple of lines as a gesture of collective illeviation, it might be interesting.

Well, intention is a word that can have a lot of different meanings. In my post, intention meant the reason why someone engages in a behavior. In other words, what is it they hope to accomplish? Even more specifically, What feeling are they hoping to achieve (or avoid) with their behavior.

So I’m not talking about intention in the sense of what it is you mean (intend) to do.

What I mean is, our behavior is driven by how a person reacts or communicate with, for example if a person is humiliating you in fron of a large crowd, our intention towards that person is either you react verbally or physically.
