…describe these as structured forms of self-questioning that a person can perform on himself. Generally, these have rather "New Age" titles: some popular ones include Core Transformation, The Work, the Sedona Method, the Wholeness Process. Tech and computer people are often rather skeptical of such things, but I would recommend giving one or more of them a try. If you don't like mystical or spiritual explanations,…
on “Ask HN: How can I stop being jealous of people who succeed before me?” ↗Yes, I think these are related concepts. I read a whole host of books that are related and have been influential. Off the top of my head (on top of HSP): The Big Leap The Sedona Method The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership Hold Me Tight The Four Tendencies

On the other hand, if you do have someone in your life that is emotionally sane, you could ask them to help you work with techniques from the book. One book that is interesting is called the Sedona Method. I want to preface it to say that, what is written in the Sedona Method is not unique, though sometimes the language might make it appear so. The methods are solid though, and the authors used NLP to…
on “The Powerlessness of Positive Thinking” ↗…bit tense, confused and unmotivated this morning and going through the technique with your app really made a difference. Thanks! For those not in the know, this is based on what's sometimes called the Sedona Method. There's a popular book about it by Hale Dwoskin [0] and the questions (and phrasing) in this app are almost exactly the same (the self-questions are an important part of the technique). I've been geeking…
on “I built an app to fix my depression” ↗I find it amusing when I look up "Sedona Method" I find lots of blurbs in the search previews about how simple and powerful it is, yet none of them actually give any clue as to what it involves (but you can buy a book that will reveal the secret!).…
on “How to stop procrastinating by using the Fogg Behavior Model” ↗@redblacktree Also want to point out ... based on one of your other comments (about releasing and feeling through things rather than dwelling), you might already get some of the stuff in the Sedona Method. I wrote the above because I don't know where you are at now. There are more intense kind of practices, like the one written in Tsultrim Allione's Demon Feeding: Ancient Wisdom for Resolving Inner Conflict.…
on “The Powerlessness of Positive Thinking” ↗My experience with lay practitioners (such as myself) is that you may have to try a few different things to find something that works while living a regular life. The Mind Illuminated, the Sedona Method, Louise Hay, the work of the stoics, yoga, qigong, therapy, all provide different approaches to developing emotional intelligence and managing difficult states of mind. I did zen meditation for a decade…
on “How the heart influences what we perceive and fear” ↗You're right (and I say so in the About section), it is based on the Sedona Method. I found the method to be quite tedious to do on paper and I couldn't focus long enough to do it in my head, which was the original reason I built the app. However, the app works for people who don't…
