I work with clients on helping to identify their negative patterns and habits. Then I teach them how to accept responsibility for these habits and then we go on to change and release these patterns and habits. One of my clients sent me this.

Autobiography in Five Chapters by Portia Nelson

One

As I walk down the street,

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I fall in.

I am lost….I am hopeless.

It isn’t my fault.

It takes forever to find a way out.

Two

I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I pretend I don’t see it.

I fall in again.

I can’t believe I’m in the same place.

But it isn’t my fault.

It still takes a long time to get out.

Three

I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I see it is there.

I still fall in….it’s a habit.

My eyes are open.

I know where I am.

It is MY fault.

I get out immediately.

Four

I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I walk round it.

Five

I walk down another street.
