SOUL PALS
Chapter One: A Guide to creating your own PALs
The PALs you have met and will meet demonstrate how to apply the PAL concept. Some PALs you may like and others you may not. In the end, what is most important is that you create or adopt PALs that best work for you. The basic formula for forming your pals is described below:
roblem identified as opportunity for learning & growth
+
pplication of visual image that evokes a powerful feeling from within and
has an important personal message

First, a Problem or challenge is identified as a possibility for growth.
Next a PAL is chosen for whom you already have a special feeling toward.
This PAL is then Applied to the problem by simply focusing on a
picture of the PAL or thinking about it. You then connect words that
begin with the letters used to spell the PAL word. These letters will
embody a phrase or saying that has a special meaning to breakthrough
the problem at hand. Gradually, the repetition of the visual image,
its associated word meaning and the feelings you experience when
bringing your PAL to mind, will Liberateyou from a thought that
may have limited your ability to lead your life as you desire.
Focusing on - you might come up with this: o n eassured,
irmative, & nthusiastic. Now -- by looking at or thinking of this PAL
all of the words that are embodied by the spelling of the PAL come to mind.
By reminding yourself to go in with your head up high like that of a giraffe,
you can help maintain some level of confidence. (Our Giraffe is so tall, we had to put him at the end of the internet to fit his long neck onto the page).
PAL works by attaching a special meaning to a word. A PAL word must be
PABLE, something that a person can actually see with their eyes or
imagine in their mind. It needs to be something that can be visually
bumped into or pictured in your mind during the course of a day.
We can create secret peopals (people pals), who we can call on at
any time to support and re-assure us when we are having insecure and
destructive thoughts. For instance ABE, who reminds us of the
Abe Lincoln, could become a peopal to help prevent us from being
tempted to lie. Just by looking at a penny, we could consider,
that to lways e arnest makes good sense. If we live by this ethic,
we would never have to waste mental energy on worrying about being
found out for having not told the truth.
Like the "palette" of an artist, the pal-its can be used to energize and
form our attitudes and actions throughout the day. A palette is a
thing from which the artist creates the texture and color of a picture.
Similarly, the pal-its are common objects in our life that can be used to
create the texture and feeling for our day. Your mind is your Number "1"
PALACE (pal plus+ ace). Imagine -- a palace where all pal-its are
furnished, so that each time you run across the object in the day you
associate it with its special PAL meaning.
When a word such as becomes an abbreviation or acronym for a special
phrase, like "e nlightened aily," it becomes one of the PALs. What
would the impact be on your thinking if from the moment you got out of BED, you
associated everyday objects with thoughts like, Be Enlightened Daily?
Each time you repeat a positive re-enforcing thought you are regaining
perspective, countering negative messages, and returning to your own
positive resilience.
PAL-ATE (The Food Pals)
Members of the PAL-IT group
Satisfy your personal palate,
Satiate your hunger for individual courage,
Quench your thirst for being the way you want to be,
You are what you eat,
Your are what you repeat.
If we attach personal meaning to a food pal, then every time that we
eat it, we can be nourishing our body and an attitude that we wish to
improve upon and experience. For instance, an APPLE might remind us
that each of us is like a seed within an APPLE's core. The seed must
persist and release itself from the core to reach its full grown
potential - a full grown apple tree. We, too, must persist to reach
our full potential.
ctive ersistence, revails iberating xpression.
Such reminders build power within to change your ways and your attitudes.
You are transforming negative headlines in your mind
into positive ones. More and more you'll be believing
yourself and be believing in yourself.
PALs can be your soul's best friend. Each day your life
can be much more enjoyable and filled with contentment.
As your own erspective wareness evers, PALs help to remind,
refresh, and re-awaken our minds to the positive within us and
the power to live the life we choose. By playing to expand our
perspective, we pop out of negativity and grow into ever exciting and
fulfilling levels of well-being. Your pals are everyday things,
peopl and animals to Personally Activate Liberty and
Play At Life.
By playing with a formula to create PALs, you will make your own
visual affirmations to see and experience life in a new way. You
mobilize forgotten and undernourished powers within yourself by
partnering with your new pals. Each time you see a PAL or bring
it to mind, it brings greater joy and meaning into your life and
dissolves destructive thinking. You provide the prescription, and
your PALs do the work.
