‘What are the beliefs that I hold causing me to be angry?’
If you are unwilling to challenge your beliefs then the Gremlin will remain and you must accept the consequences.
when you have identified the belief that sits behind your negative emotions you have to replace it with something.
replace the Gremlin with a positive Autopilot statement
Gremlins are often statements that contain rigid words such as ‘must’ and ‘should’.
By replacing the word ‘should’ with the word ‘could’ you will have a truth that you will find easier to live by.
using the word ‘could’ usually evokes feelings of possibility, hope, an option, a choice, empowerment and potential for change.
Each Gremlin seems to reinforce the next Gremlin.
to recognise each Gremlin and how they are working together is to write them down as they appear.
each one needs its own answer that is based on truth and logic
answers that you give must be ones that ring true for you,
write them down and remind yourself of them until they become ingrained into your way of thinking.
important when inputting into the Computer that you think carefully through the experience that you have had and interpret it correctly.
listen to the Human and check out the facts first.
Humans don’t always get it right and Chimps don’t always get it wrong.

Replace ‘should’ Gremlins with ‘could’ Autopilots
return to your Stone of Life and if necessary perfect and redraw your poster.
If the Chimp and the Human are relaxed and are not worried, then you will automatically work with the Computer,
if any danger or unusual circumstances appear then the Chimp or Human will wake up and take over.
You cannot stop the Chimp from reacting to anything that happens
thought through what situations might happen and have a response programmed into the Computer ready to act.
• I am an adult and I can deal with any situation. • Life is not fair. • Everything that happens comes and goes. • Disappointments are tough but they need to be kept in perspective. • Happiness can be found in many ways. • It’s the way you deal with things, not what happens, that gives peace of mind. • Every day is precious.
If we rehearse our beliefs and truths regularly then the Computer will stop the Chimp from reacting.
The Stone of Life is the ultimate power source in our Psychological Mind.
the personality that you display to the world is a mixture of the Human, Chimp and Computer.
your Chimp’s personality has nothing to do with you; it is a machine that was given to you to work with.
most Chimps are dominated by nature
most Humans are dominated by nurture
Your Computer is a good mix ...

The real personality, that is truly you, is the Human.
If you wrote a list of all the things you would like to be, you may write things like calm, compassionate, reasonable, positive, confident and happy, then this is who you really are.
Remember: the person that you want to be is the person that you really are.
you can move forward by getting frustrated with the Chimp and Gremlins and not yourself,
• Developing yourself • Managing your Chimp and removing the Gremlins • Communicating effectively • Having the right people around you • Creating a world for yourself to live in • Looking after yourself • Getting quality in your life
