These Troubleshooting instructions are for your use when a PaulsRobot session bogs, i.e., it has not been going well and you have not been able to fix it. This works for both PaulsRobot.com and the more advanced PaulsRobot3.com. You might be amazed at the number of people who refuse to do any steps that aren't a quick brush-off, and then wonder why the trouble isn't resolved yet.
The right way
Do these steps in sequence in order to debug the problem. Step 2 addresses only the symptoms (feeling bad), and not the cause, which still needs to be found. With Step 3 and on, if it seems that you have now discovered the reason the session bogged, then test it by going back into session when next convenient. If it's now fixed, great. If not, carry on with the troubleshooting steps.
Step 1. End the current bogged session (if you haven't ended it already).
Step 2. Get outside
Get up, leave the house, and have a good walk around outside looking at things in the environment (trees, houses, the sky etc) until you feel somewhat better, at least for now. While walking around try and keep your attention on the things you are looking at or listening to outside right now and not so much on your internal thoughts or feelings. You can combine this with a shopping trip, or picking up the kids from school, or something like that, but you have to really look at the physical things around you and not so much at thoughts and feelings.
Step 3. Read the manual
Read or reread the instructions for the PaulsRobot3 module you were using to make sure you were doing the session procedure correctly. If new to PaulsRobot read over the pages at PaulsRobot.com or my main Steemit blog posts before this one. It might help to reread them if you read them a while ago and are not very familiar with them.
Step 4. Get really sessionable
If no fix yet, get ready for a troubleshooting session, preferably as soon as possible after the one that didn't go so well but try not to leave it over 24 hours. This means make sure you are sessionable:
- well-rested and not tired
- well-fed and not hungry
- not under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- fairly willing (and able) to have a session from PaulsRobot and follow the instructions as given.
- relatively free from distractions (no urgent chore you should be doing, no kids or pets running around, no sudden traffic noises, no people looking over your shoulder, etc)
- enough time for the session
- nothing else likely to get in the way.
Step 5. Do troubleshooting session(s)
If the issue is not resolved yet, do one or more PaulsRobot.com sessions as the first troubleshooting session action. Use the regular Rub & Yawn procedures, including the 6-Direction technique, to thoroughly cover the period of your life since the last good session. Do not skimp on this step.
The purpose is to clear up all the charge (harmful emotional and mental energy) between when you were last doing well in session and now.
- Include the bogged session, but note that the main reason for the bog probably lies much earlier than the point you realized it wasn't going well.
- If you have never had a good session, start from a point in your life when you were doing well.
- If you have never had a point in your life when you were doing well, start from the best point you can find.
Step 6. PaulsRobot Repair List
If no fix yet and you have honestly done all the previous steps thoroughly, do the PaulsRobot Repair List in session for the next troubleshooting session, including doing the session actions specified. This list includes possible reasons for trouble in session that you might not have considered.
Step 7. Do any further out-of-session actions ...
... as indicated in your troubleshooting session(s). For example, maybe the reason for the bogged session was that your attention was heavily on your broken promise to repair your parents' house. The full fix isn't to simply realise this, but to actually do the hard work of getting the house repaired!
Step 8. If still no resolution...
- ... try a different PaulsRobot3 module. For example, HeavyDuty gets deeper into a topic by zooming in on a dozen different aspects such as emotional factors, multiple viewpoints apart from one's own, spiritual influences, etc. The overall idea of Morph, another simple module, is for you to change many, many aspects of your topic. To the extent that you can change it at will, to that extent it will lose whatever power it has over you. Morph includes 114 different ways of manipulating the factors making up a topic. It uses Rub & Yawn visualization techniques different to those at PaulsRobot.com, namely Attitude (2 options); Color (10 options); Condition (6 options); Dimension (10 options); and many more.
- ... or seek professional help.
