The rest of the beliefs: I can control what people think of me.

[Guest guest]

I'm not going to do all the other beliefs, because I feel like either

the first one took care of it, or this next one does:

Belief: I can control what people think of me.

1) Is it true?

No.

- Whose business is it?

Theirs

2) Can you absolutely know it's true?

No

3) How do you react when you think that thought?

I worry about my looks, my ability to be witty or fascinating enough...

I look for compliments...

4) Who would you be without that thought?

I would just dress for myself... not worry about what others thought...

be okay with awkward silences, etc.

Turnaround

to myself: I can control what I think of me. (Much more true. And yet,

only by watching my thoughts).

to the other: Others can't control what they think of me. (I think

there's A LOT of truth to this. Their nature and nurture determine so

much of this... it has nothing to do with them OR me!)

to the opposite: I can't control what people think of me. (Yup. That's

right.)

another thougtht: Would you really want to control what others think of you?

they might have a very positive thought (eg. what a marvelous hostess, look at

all the trouble she went to) that you've never had about yourself.
