Insights from Psycho‐Cybernetics by Maxwell Maltz We are all born with an automatic “Creative Mechanism.” Our automatic Creative Mechanism works like a state‐of‐the‐art self‐driving car. The conscious mind imagines a goal, initiates action, then lets the subconscious mind do the rest (similar to someone in a self‐driving car who inputs a destination and then allows the car to determine the best route and get him/her to the desired destination). Creatives throughout history have relied on their automatic Creative Mechanism to accomplish huge goals. Charles Darwin struggled to organize and complete “The Origin of Species” for months. Then, one day, he stopped thinking about his book and delivered his challenge to his subconscious. Days later, Darwin was hit with an intuitive flash, and the insight needed to complete ‘The Origin of Species’ came to him. Unfortunately, few of us experience the genius of our automatic (subconscious) Creative Mechanism because we don’t allow it to work. Since we can’t see it working, we worry, overthink, and interfere (we metaphorically grab the steering wheel or hit the brakes because we don’t trust our self‐driving car to do what it was designed to do). We interfere with our automatic Creative Mechanism while on route to a big goal because our self‐image does not align with our ambition. “Whether we realize it or not, each of us carries about with us a mental blueprint or picture of ourselves. It may be vague and ill‐defined to our conscious gaze. In fact, it may not be consciously recognizable at all. But it is there, complete down to the last detail. This self‐image is our own conception of the ‘sort of person I am.’ It has been built up from our own beliefs about ourselves. But most of these beliefs about ourselves have unconsciously been formed from our past experiences, our successes and failures, our humiliations, our triumphs, and the way other people have reacted to us, especially in early childhood.” – Maxwell Maltz “The man who conceives himself to be a ‘failure‐type person’ will find some way to fail, in spite of all his good intentions, or his willpower, even if opportunity is literally dumped in his lap.” – Maxwell Maltz The only way you will get out of your own way and trust your automatic Creative Mechanism to deliver the insights you need to achieve a large goal is to “upgrade” your self‐image so that your self‐image aligns with your goal. Self‐Image Upgrade Exercise: Step #1: Eliminate Tension “In your mind’s eye see yourself lying stretched out on the bed. Form a picture of your legs as they would look if made of concrete. See yourself lying there with two very heavy concrete legs. See these very heavy concrete legs sinking far down into the mattress from their sheer weight. Now picture your arms and hands as made of concrete. They also are very heavy and are sinking down into the bed and exerting tremendous pressure against the bed… Repeat with arms, neck, (and every other part of your body).” – Maxwell Maltz When a hypnotist begins a stage performance, he gets participants on stage to close their eyes and relax their bodies. If participants are tense, they are less likely to accept and believe what the hypnotist is going to tell them later in the show. When you release tension in your body, you are making yourself able and willing to believe the information you’re going to feed your mind in step two. Step #2: Visualize Success Think of a big goal you’re struggling to achieve. Now, imagine waking up tomorrow to discover that you've achieved it. You're not sure how it happened, but it did! Notice small details of your new reality. For example, if you’ve been struggling to start an online business, imagine sitting in your office (see the color of your desk, the make and model of your laptop, and the clothes you’re wearing). Then imagine a colorful bar chart on your laptop screen with your month by month sales and a number for this month’s sales: $51,255. “Our brain and nervous system cannot tell the difference between a real experience, and one that is vividly imagined. Our automatic Creative Mechanism always acts and reacts appropriately to the environment, circumstance, or situation. The only information concerning the environment, circumstance, or situation available to it is what you believe to be true concerning it.” – Maxwell Maltz Step #3: Layer on a “Success Feeling” Think of a string of small, simple successes you’ve recently experienced, like making your bed, cooking a healthy meal, or finishing your to‐do list. Build up a “success feeling” as your recall success after success. Now imagine transferring that “success feeling” to the image you’ve created in step two. When you associate the feeling of success with the achievement you’ve imagined in step two, you are convincing your nervous system to normalize high achievement; you are raising the standard for what you can achieve and eliminating self‐doubt. If you conduct the three‐step self‐image upgrade visualization exercise for 5‐30 minutes a day for the next 21 days, you will see a shift in your confidence. You will feel like success is inevitable and learn to get out of your own way. You will learn to set big creative goals, initiate action, and then trust your automatic Creative Mechanism to take over and provide you with the ideas needed to accomplish your goals. www.ProductivityGame.com Download 370.83 Kb.
