Unconscious Place of Motivation

Many people decide to go to the gym or yoga or for a jog or for kickboxing and never do. You decide to get your car stereo fixed or your house painted or go to your dentist and never do. Why is that? Why can't you just decide to do something, like make an extra 50000 bucks this month, and go ahead and do it? Of course you can. It's how you represent this thought internally that holds you back.

Remember, you learn things by forming neuro-pathways. You have the same neurological equipment as Gandhi, Mandela, Tesla, Donald Trump, Aishwarya Rai, Richard Bandler or anybody else on this planet. The way the equipment is wired is different in each person. You can wire yourself up to achieve anything. You already have the neurology, you just need the right wiring.

In this post I want to show you a powerful place of motivation and how to rewire yourself so that you can motivate yourself effortlessly to go and get what it is that you want.

Think of something that you've been meaning to do but never got around to doing. Learning the guitar, getting a haircut, finding a better job, making more money? What is it, for you, that you really need to move your butt and get going on?

When you think of this you have to make an image of it. Where do you see this image? Left, right, above, below, behind you? where? This is not the place of motivation really. In order to get motivated you have to see the image in a different location.

EXERCISE - To make something a compulsion

1. Unless you're a nudist, you have a compulsion to wear clothes when you leave your house right?

2. Notice two things. When I say, "Do you have to wear clothes when you leave the house?". Notice the location of the image formed. And notice the location of the voice which says 'yes'.

3. They need not be in the same location, you can see the image one place and hear the voice from another place. Now that you have found the sites I want you to begin constructing the motivation devices.

4. Put a large screen, like a multiplex movie screen exactly at the location of the image, see a DVD player below it also see a powerful speaker box in the location of the voice. Now visualise a DVD of you doing the thing you want to do so badly but never get around to it.

5. Push it into the DVD player and press play. The image of you doing it begins to play on the big screen in the compulsion location, ie. in exactly the same place where you saw the image of 'have to wear clothes when I leave the house'. In the powerful speakers you installed play this!

Great!

6. Now build a feedback device from your unconscious so that your unconscious can speak back to you. Draw wires from the screen into your right thumb. When the compulsion is installed tell your unconscious to let the thumb fill with a feeling of warmth.

7. Continue playing the DVD over and over until you feel heat building in your right thumb. Remember this is a message from your unconscious that it understands that you want to build a compulsion to do this thing you've been procrastinating. If your thumb is getting warm it means the installation is complete.

8. Do the installation 5-6 times and elicit the same response from your unconscious.

9. Now you will feel ferociously compelled to do this thing and you will find it extremely easy to do as well.

Try this and tell me how it went. I use this to motivate myself all the time. I have several DVDs in my mind that I play for different occasions when i need to feel compelled and motivated to do something.

PS nudists and exhibitionists obviously feel no compulsion to wear clothes in public, if you're one, please use any other compulsion of yours to find the compulsion location. Mail me if you're having trouble.

Talk Nice to Yourself

Most people are mean to themselves. They keep criticizing themselves. While this has it's uses to find out when you're wrong, you really need to hear criticism only once and take action. There's no need to nag yourself with an internal voice and fester bad feelings and ill health.

So how do you tell an internal voice to shut up?

The voice begins when you think you've done something wrong or when you compare yourself with others or when you feel you've been wronged and deserve more fair treatment, these are common ones but I know people who can nag themselves about pretty much anything!

What begins as a statement gains steam and soon your mind is booming with negative internal dialogue, in bad tonality.

This is good because you can now find it's location. For example, my nagging voice usually comes from my left side about 6-8 inches from my face opposite my cheek and it's directed towards me.

How would it be if your internal voice was this really sexy melting voice and it consoled you instead of criticising you? Read on...

EXERCISE

1. So go on, nag yourself, say all the negative things that you want. In bad tonality. Like you usually do... if you were nagging yourself before you started to read this, great! Build up the voice/ voices.

2. Find it's location in space. Where does the voice come out of. It's obviously directed towards you. So the first thing to do is to change the direction of the voice so that it's talking away from you. This will give you some relief.

3. Turn the volume of the voice down so that you get some more relief.

4. Now visualise little workers putting up a sound proof cabin around the voice so that you can't hear it at all.

5. Think of the sexiest voice that can melt your heart. If this sexy voice said your name you would just become a mush ball. Now take this voice and make it 10 times sexier.

6. Visualise the little workers fix a device on the sound proof cabin so that any criticism comes out only in this sexy voice and only once.

7. Let the sexy voice then say something to console you like, 'But you learned your lesson and are moving on you ...you hot person! Ooooooooooooh...'

8. You will feel a lot of relief from your nagging.

9. Practice this a few times until the conversion of voice happens automatically.

So now you no longer have to tell yourself how bad other people are to you or beat yourself up for something you did. You don't have to justify anything or rationalise anything in your head. You can be free to do all the things you want to do.

Free to carry on pragmatic, mature dialogue with yourself. Wouldn't that be nice :)

What if you learned this well and taught it to everyone you have to interact with on a daily basis? Wouldn't that make you really more free. Imagine if everyone was taught to control their internal nagging... we'd have more relaxed people all over the world.

Go on, make a start! Be the change!

Making the Right Decisions and Avoiding the Fudge Factor

Yesterday I watched Akshay kumar's latest movie Chandini Chowk to China, a caricature of Chinese martial arts. The scene that endured however wasn't one with any of the kicks or locks but of Ranvir Shorey as 'Chopstick' making a decision about whether to con the hero into going to China or not.

He vacillates between the voice of his inner angel and inner devil. The angel is dressed in spotless white indian clothes and the devil in bright red Chinese attire! Veiled political comment by the director? Hmm. 

Anyway to the others it looks as though Ranvir is needlessly turning left and right. And in fact Akshay asks him why the hell he's turning left and right. He's listening to his internal voices of course.

This is what we do when we have to decide, we not only hear voices, we see movies or slides too, we also have feelings. But under pressure many people cannot decide for themselves, they base their decisions on false assurances and rationalizations. This is what I call the fudge factor. 

So what I'm going to discuss now is a method that I use to make good decsions, you can use it too because good decisions are the cornerstone of a good life. You see good decisions lead to good experiences and good experiences lead to good feelings which lead to more good decisions... anyone read 'The Secret' and the secret 'law of attraction'? Maybe this is the loop. The secret advises you to enter this loop at the 'good feelings' stage. I just entered the loop at the good decisions stage and it has transformed the quality of my life. And unlike the secret, there's no blind believing required either :)

So here's how you build the habit of making good decisions

EXERCISE

1. Think of a good decision you've made, one that you have no regrets about. If you can't think about one right away, think about brushing your teeth this morning... is it a good decision with no regrets? Notice where you're looking when you think about this. Is it an image you see internally or a movie? In any case the decision with 'no regrets' is located at a specific location in the space relative to you, by your brain. Is it to your left, right, up down, in front, behind where?
2. Once you've located the good decision, think of a lousy desicion you made, one that you regretted considerably later. If you're having trouble with this one I'm jealous! find the location of the 'lousy decision with a lot of regrets' in much the same way.
3. Notice that these two are located at different points in space relative to you. 
4. This sorting is really very sophisticated, if you're old enough to read and understand this, you brain already has made a decision strategy that will make you healthy, happy and comfortable. Remember there is no limit to how healthy, happy or comfortable you can get.There is a state of happiness happier than your happiest till now! Dr Bandler asks, 'How much pleasure can you stand?'  So if you can trust your brain's sorting mechanism you're on the road to great good decisions and a lot of pleasure.
5. Ok now think of something you're undecided about, line up the various options you have and see where they fall, If they clearly fall or lean towards the 'bad decisions, many regrets' location then run a movie of the whole event from the moment you make the decision to the logical end and your unconscious will show you what's bugging you that can actually go wrong. If you find a fix for this problem the decision will magically float to the 'no regrets' place! For example I needed to attend a friend's music album launch at a particular venue, the decision to go to the place fell into the 'bad decisions many regrets' place. I was surprised that attending a friend's album launch could be a bad decision. Then i ran a movie of it, it was at a venue where I was likely to run into some people that make me uncomfortable. And that was what my unconscious was warning me against. When my wife told me that these blokes were not likely to be there because they had some other event to go to, the decision shifted into the 'no regrets' place. I went there and had a great time
6. Build a 'WAITAMINNIT' device before you make a bad decsion. Think of the bad decision location and imagine a motion detector laser in that location. Whenever your unconscious pops a decision in this location let the 'WAITAMINNIT' alarms ring and flash 10 lights like ambulance lights in front of your face. Just build this device. Imagine installing it and test it. Install the wires and the electronics in your imagination. And pop a bad decision in the area. See if you're able to get thoselights flashing and those alarms wailing!
7. To complete the 'WAITAMINNIT' device install a projector that automatically runs the movie for you of the whole event from the moment you make the decision to the logical end. See yourself running the wiring and circuitry for this device.Test this by making a deliberate bad decision a few times. You should hear the ambulance wail and see the flashing lights before the whole movie starts t0 run in front of your eyes.
8. Once you've exposed the fudge factor, you can make a good decision.
9. Whenever you hear this alarm examine your decision, because you're gonna regret it!
10. Ever heard a cash register ring? Wire some motion detector lasers in your 'good decision' location to make that 'trr..ding' sound everytime you decide something good, because this will make you healthier and richer remember?
11. Now's the fun part. Think of a decision you need to make, see where it's floats to, if you've built the devices right. You will automatically start to make good decisions

Tell me if you're having trouble, I'd be glad to help you build this machine in your brain.
