I immediately said "your house must be a mess with lots of clutter”. He told me that he had recently given up his apartment and had no where to live.
He was just visiting his family in Brisbane while trying to sort out his life, where he wanted to live and what he wanted to pursue as a career. He mentioned that he was interested in joining the Police Force; he was also interested in training as a fireman. He was also interested in being involved in Life Saving and becoming a lifeguard. The other question which he was trying to sort out was that he was uncertain where he wanted to live. He had been living in the country NSW but thought he would like the warmer weather in Queensland. He also liked the idea of either Tasmania or Perth.
By this stage I was getting a very clear picture that this poor guy was totally lost.
I then asked if he had a car. He replied "yes of course". I said "well your car must be quite messy and need a thorough clean”. I said that there was probably lots of rubbish on the floor of the car as well as in the boot and I bet he had not given the car a clean for quite some time.
He said "you are spot on", and wanted to know what made me say make that comment.
I replied "it is simple; you are a product of your environment. You create your environment subconsciously and your subconscious is a reflection of your moods, attitude and feeling. Your car is all you own at the moment so therefore it will reflect how you feel about yourself and your life."
So it seems to me that you life is in a bit of a mess, so naturally your car is all that you own at the moment, so therefore it will reflect how you feel; a mess. You are also dressed in a lot of black tonight.
He was a little taken aback by my comment, and nothing further was said and the subject changed.
Just as the guest were all leaving my client walked over to me and asked how much a consultation would cost.
I replied that what I charged didn't matter; he needed to clean his car before we could talk further. Again he was taken back but my daughter was standing by his side by this time and her comment was, that's just how my Mom works.
That was 11.00pm. At 9.00am the following morning I received a phone call from him asking if he could arrange an appointment. I replied you know our arrangement. He replied "Yes". I was up at 6.00am this morning and my car is cleaned from top to bottom. The tyres are blackened and I have the car booked in for a service later this week.
I said, "well in that case we can meet later tonight."
You see I would have been totally wasting my time and my energy on him until he had decided that he was going to take responsibility of his life, his environment and his actions.
The only person who can really change your life is "YOU".
I met with him later that day and we mapped out action steps to do on a daily basis to get him back on track and back in control of his mind, his body and his life.
We started with colour in his undies and clothes, the colour soap and colour towel he used each day, a swimming program on a daily basis. How to set up his bedroom at the unit where he was visiting. Affirmations to write out and to repeat as he lapped the pool. He learnt the meaning of his numerology. What made him positive and what his natural characteristic and destiny was? The power of his signature.
He learnt how to work with aroma and the importance of smell and how working with simple oil and incense can really unblock the subconscious.
Six weeks on and his was feeling great and ready to move to Perth.
He returned to his teaching profession. Bought a beautiful unit and soon after that meet a wonderful lady and married.
