8stops7 Method

This is an interesting method that I recently discovered, it is called the 8stops7 Method.

The 8 Stops 7 Method is a technique in psychology and self-help that helps reveal insights into the subconscious mind. Here is an overview:

The 8 Stops:

1. Stop Doing: Stop your current actions and take a pause. This creates space for self-reflection.
2. Stop Seeing: Close your eyes. This removes external stimuli so you can focus inward.
3. Stop Hearing: Cover your ears. This quiets external sounds so inner dialogue can emerge.
4. Stop Talking: Don’t speak. This helps thought flow without interruption.
5. Stop Wanting: Let go of desires. This reduces mental clutter and makes space for introspection.
6. Stop Comparing: Don’t compare to others. This enables seeing yourself clearly, without judgment.
7. Stop Planning: Don’t think about the future. This brings you into the present moment.
8. Stop Meditating: Let thoughts flow randomly without control. This allows the subconscious to surface.

The 7 Questions:

After doing the 8 stops, ask yourself these questions and listen to the answers that arise:

1. What am I feeling right now?
2. What do I really want?
3. What do I need to do about it?
4. What story am I telling myself?
5. Is that story true?
6. How do I know that story is true?
7. Can I see this another way?

This introspective process is meant to provide self-insight and reveal subconscious beliefs that may be influencing behaviors and emotions. The 7 questions help unpack those beliefs for examination and growth.
