Negative Feelings Cause Unwanted Behavior

– Lawrence I. Miller

What are unwanted behavior? Is there anyone out there that has unwanted behavior?

Unwanted behavior includes shyness, intimidationing, messy, perfectionist, procrastination, jealous, angry, smothering, and needy. There are hundreds of other unwanted behaviors and they all keep people at a distance from us. This is how they work: the shy person keeps themselves away from people so they do not have to feel the hurt feeling laying just below the shy unwanted behavior. The bully/intimidating person pushes people away so they do not have to feel the hurt feeling just lying just below the surface. The same is true for the messy person, the procrastinator, the perfectionist, the jealous person, the angry person, the smothering person and the person who needs constant attention.

When we were children, we were emotionally got hurt, most likely by a parent. Maybe your parents were critical about everything you did and criticized constantly. Or, maybe one of your parents tried to control every move you made or maybe the parent was abusive, either mentally or physical, but in any case the parent would say or do things that hurt you. Things that were extremely painful. Because of the hurt the subconscious mind programs in an unwanted behavior, such as shyness, that protected you from getting hurt as much in the future.

The shyness - an unwanted behavior - keeps a child out of the limelight, and as a result the child gets hurt less because the shynews protected them.

The problem, however, is once the unwanted behavior is programmed into the subconscious mind the child continues to be SHY for the rest of his/her life. The shy unwanted behavior that once protected becomes a liability, keeping the person from being the best they can be as an adult. It is a road block on the highway of life.

The person cannot figure out why they are shy, their conscious mind keeps trying to figure it out but has no idea that the subconscious mind programmed the shy behavior when they were children. The conscious mind keeps trying to overcome the shy behavior but it cannot because under the behavior is a painful feeling the shyness is trying to protect the person from feeling. The subconscious mind is still trying to protect the adult just like it was protecting a child from getting hurt.  The adult is, essentially, still the child.

It is the same situation with all unwanted behavior. The unwanted behavior is the device trying to protect the adult so they will not feel the painful feeling they experienced as a child. The subconscious mind does not live in our real world, so it has no idea the unwanted behavior is pushing people away and keeping the adult from being the best they can be. It becomes a barrier to achievement. The conscious mind does not have the power to overcome painful feelings because feelings have power and will wear the conscious mind down as it tries to overcome the feeling, especially if it is a painful feeling.

If you are aware of an unwanted behavior, and you know it is keeping you from being the best you can be and you know you are pushing people away from you, then my suggestion would be to try hypnosis.
