Ken does his deepest discussion of The Choice Process in Gathering Power Through Insight and Love.

Usually you do this process in your head, but you can use paper or do it with a partner.

  1. pinpoint your addiction in the canonical form: I create the experience of ______ (emotion(s) ) because my programming addictively demands that ______ (what you want).
  2. My positive intention behind this addiction is to see myself as _____, or to hear inside that _________ or to feel ______. (See the list of positive intentions.)
  3. Three new ways to achieve that same positive intention are _____ _____ _____.
For example, let’s say you are worried you might not have enough money to pay next month’s rent. Note how the three new ways of achieving your positive intention need have nothing whatever to do with the original situation. These are not three ways to solve the problem. They are three ways to get your emotional needs met, whether or not you have enough money for the rent.

The choice process is not a substitute for solving your life problem. It is something extra you do to soothe your emotions while you are solving it.
