Seems like I've spent a lot of time thinking about my thinking. Strange and interesting to say the least. Anyways, I came across an interesting thought.
Instead of trying to short circuit your thinking in the moment, come up with something to short circuit your thinking that has already been prepared. It seemed like a simple idea.
Because I couldn't stop the train wreck of thoughts going through my head during the process. Without a lot of practice, it's almost impossible. Especially if you've been conditioned to think in the wrong manner. And most of my thinking has been in the wrong manner. It's hard to say that, but yeah. Most of my thinking has been flat out wrong. And has been wrong for years.
To say it's wrong is to have some sort of argument with the knowledge that I know the right way. Which is completely untrue. I spent years being conditioned to think incorrectly. It was probably me that caused a bunch of it. But I never stopped it. To say growing up sucked was an understatement. But that crap conditioned me to think incorrectly.
So how in the world am I going to solve this problem? I'm going to try something new. And if it doesn't work, I'm going to try something else. If that doesn't work, I'll try again. Because what I have been doing hasn't been working. There's just too much mental baggage to get my brain going in the correct direction without a prepared answer. Too many years of not believing I was worth a damn.
But what you can do is right down what you want to believe. And listen to it frequently. Listen to it?
Here's the cheating part. Because it's so damn easy.
Come up with your script. Come up with what you want to be.
Write it down.
And record it in your own voice.
And then, play it back frequently.
Try it for a month. See what happens.
See, because you don't rise to the occasion. You fall to the level of your training. So you have to develop a new form of training.
And the easiest way to train yourself is auto-program responses.
Try it for a week or two. I'm pretty sure you'll love the results.
