The Joy Experiment
Activating the Virtuous Personal Positive Feedback Loop

by Alan Steinborn

This could be big time.

I mean BIG TIME!

The end of the world as you know it.

The beginning of your world if you let it.

It is an idea. An experiment.

It came to me a few days ago at sunset while lying under an oak tree in Barton Springs.

And now I am asking you a favor.

I am asking you to try my great experiment.

In return for your participation you will receive a reward.

It will be an extremely valuable reward.

A reward far greater than anything I could personally give you.

If you participate in this experiment you will get a reward far greater than ANYONE on this planet could give you.

Except for one person -- yourself.

By taking part in this experiment you will radically transform your relationship
with the single most important person on this planet: YOU!

By trying this experiment you will be part of a revolution.

• You will be part of a revolution that says that self-appreciation is more effective than self-criticism.
  
  
• You will be part of a revolution that claims that the experience of satisfaction is a far greater cause for action than the search for it.
  
  
• You will be part of a revolution that claims that love is a more powerful mover and shaker than fear.
  
  
• You will be part of a revolution that claims that abundance is a greater impetus for change than scarcity.
  
  
• You will be part of a revolution that claims that ideas you think up with an awakened mind are more likely
  to lead to what you TRULY DESIRE than 'objective facts'.

By taking part in this experiment, you will get conclusive proof that your life is better, more sexy, more successful, and more
enjoyable when you give yourself copious amounts of positive feedback.

So without further ado, the great experiment!

It is called the joy experiment.

You will need under 2 minutes a day for this experiment.

Do this process for 10 days straight.

It is a 4 step process:

1. Call your own telephone number
   
   
2. When your voice mail comes on, leave a message for yourself.
   
   Say the following: "Hi (insert your name). Its (insert your name again).
   I am calling to to thank you for...(say the 1st thing that comes to your mind).
   And then make a statement about what the kind gesture means to YOU.
   
   For example, I could call myself and say: "Hi Alan, its Alan. I am calling to thank you for taking such good care of your body by eating healthy food today. It has given me massive amounts of clarity and energy!" or "Hi Alan, its Alan. I am calling to thank you for how you handled that potential conflict with xyz. It saved me untold amounts of heartache." Or "Hi Alan, its Alan. I am calling to thank you for bringing your work to a cafe this morning
   instead of the office. It is a much more lovely way for me to transition into the work week."
   
   Helpful hint: When you are leaving the message, act like you are calling your best friend or lover, because you are!!!
   
   
3. Then hang up.
   
   
4. Listen to that message fully at a later time. Act as if you are hearing a person who's love is critical to your well-being because you are.

By bringing your attention to what you are doing to support yourself, you discover new ways you can treat yourself with kindness and support.

By giving and receiving positive feedback from yourself, you are more likely to continue to do all the little things that make such a big difference in your life.

You will begin a great love affair with yourself in which you treat yourself with love and respect.

Everyone around you will treat you with more respect and love too.

They will recognize your self-respect and there is nothing more attractive than this.

These are just a few of the results you can expect as you begin to recognize all the wonderful ways you treat yourself.

I imagine there are many results not listed here. Please report them to me.

SPECIAL BONUS: If you Email me and let me know that you are taking part in this great experiment and report how it is going for you,
I will GIVE you a valuable gift!

Yours in Presence,

Alan Steinborn
