The change of environment, out of the apartment, was partially suggested to break any suggestions that might be arising simply from the length, in your terms, of his difficulties. He should when possible, for now, wear yellows and greens to work. He should make a definite determined effort to walk home, for his confidence will grow with the success, you see.

When he discovers he can walk home, this difficulty will vanish. There may be, but should not be, some slight difficulty at first, the result of his own idea patterns, but that is all. If he keeps track of himself, no difficulties at all will arise.

He should take frequent walks to build up his confidence, and to break up the patterns further.

When Ruburt replaces the bedsheets, I suggest colored ones. As he goes to sleep this evening, have him try imagining a scene in springtime, with him walking briskly or running. When he walks now on the streets, he should keep the mental image just given in his mind, picturing the whole flexible and fleet image, and the inner self will take steps to see that the suitable adjustments are made. He should remember to give frequent suggestions pertaining to relaxation. This is extremely important.

Once he has given suggestions, he should think of other things, and not check on his progress as this shows doubt. He has, you see, a negative picture of himself walking that must be replaced by a positive one.

His attention while walking has been centered upon his progress. He should think of other things, even he counts trees and looks about him. Activity is good for him now, you see. I emphasize the therapeutic dreams again. Whenever possible, attention should be directed away from the symptoms. This does not mean he should pretend they do not exist, but they will vanish to the extent that he directs energy away from them.
