Lesson #2: How to Put the Attainment of Your Desires on Automatic PilotLesson Two: How to Put the Attainment of Your Desires on Automatic Pilot “My goal is to be rich by the end of the year.” Those might be called goals, but chances are high that the person saying them will never achieve Why? Because they simply aren’t good targets. Most people set a goal, declare it their target, and then wonder why they don’t hit it. Why? Well, no one has ever explained the inner workings of the human mind quite like I do in my You see, in the past, when you stated a desire and tried to achieve it, you didn’t know that other How to Set Your Target Why do you have inner parts that may not want the same goal you say you want? I’ll explain it to you. This is something virtually no one else has ever understood. Your brain’s activities are divided among four different systems, each involving a major part of • The right brain is fluent in patterns of arrangement, rhythm, and sound. Your “rhythm section”, the part of the brain that “speaks” the language of patterns, rhythm, and The “words and logic brain” is sometimes called the left brain. The emotionally fluent section is the midbrain. And the part that responds to physical stimulus is the brainstem. You have probably experienced them all working together in harmony—and sometimes in For example: Why Dieting Sucks This example ought to strike home for you: Suppose you decide to go on a diet and write a resolution (words and logic). But when you arrive at the dinner table, you unconsciously grab a hot, fresh roll and bite into it Perhaps you get upset at yourself, muttering some obscenity (emotions) and, in response, You refuse the potatoes and gravy (words and logic) and feel better about yourself. (emotions). But pretty soon, something seems to be missing (your patterns are being violated). Meat without potatoes? You think (words and logic), “Where are the potatoes? Potatoes go with Do you get a feel for what is happening? Do you sense the inner contradictions? No wonder dieting doesn’t work! Relax. It can be another way. Framing Not only are the four parts of your brain often in conflict, even when what you consciously want In other words, they won’t give you what they don’t know you want! Why? Well, try the following simple exercise: 1. Close your eyes and imagine a yellow triangle perfectly centered within a red 2. Keep picturing that for as long as you can. At what moment do other ideas, 3. Note what intrudes. If you’re typical and if you’re honest with yourself, you didn’t make 4. What intruded is what I call, “your steam of consciousness.” If you were trying to give someone else instructions and that included your stream of For example, I’m focusing on writing this. Here’s what it might sound like if I were • I want to describe framing. That’s the sort of thing that goes on all the time. Check it out for yourself. Also, notice that each time my unconscious intruded with a stream of consciousness My unconscious was listening to all of that. How could it tell what was important and what was How can it tell when the same thing goes on with you? The answer is: NORMALLY IT CAN’T! It can’t unless you frame what you want it to pay attention to. Whoops! What’s framing? Framing is simply the process of breaking things into logical elements. In this case, it means In effect, putting a bulls eye around what you want. The Success And Failure Process I’m going to show you what you might consider a ridiculously simple exercise in framing and instructing your unconscious. I call it the Success and Failure Process. In fact, it’s so simple, you might think it’s silly. But if you try it, you’ll learn something important – as well as increasing your success rate. 1. Each day, take a clean piece of paper, divide it into two columns, write “successes” at the top of the left hand column and “failures” at the top of the right hand one. Then date the page. Under “successes,” briefly note each of your successes that day, one per line. Include 2. Similarly, under “failures,” list each of what you perceive to be the day's failures. For example, take a look at my morning: Successes Failures 3. Then read through your success list. After reading each “success,” remember the experience it refers to and say to yourself, 4. Next read through your “failure” list. After each “failure,” remember the experience and say to yourself, “That’s a failure. I If you do this every day, you will soon see that the daily list of successes increases and the list of failures decreases simply because you consciously framed the experiences that you consider successes and the ones that you consider failures and told your unconscious to focus on generating the former and reducing the latter. What you focus on is an instruction to your unconscious. If you want more successes, focus on successes. Easy, isn’t it? Of course, what I just showed you is a baby step but it is an effective one. In the next segment, you will receive part three of this free course. It’s called “How to Get This lesson was taken from “How to Get Lots of Money for Anything – Fast!” |
