HI T
what if what your trying to motivate yourself to do is something that you have tried several times to do and failed. My personal feeling is everytime I try and fail I build a block in front of myself stronger and stronger because it becomes a reality that I will fail. How can I overcome my own personal experience in this way to make myself believe that I can when I couldnt so many times before? How? performance based in a different tactic. This is tactical as opposed to strategic planning. you need to overcome your pre-conditioning to fail. Review your previous tactics regarding your goal. Did you fail due to inadequate planning, poor technique, or lack of balance? Manifesting success is like manifesting failure; you must build the image in your mind that you have already succeeded - and that you are bearing the fruits of that success. Attempting to break a predisposition of failure with the "trying to succeed" tactic - is probably going to feed the failure again. One of the reasons to expand your perception for new and Fantastic ideas --- is the advantage of building your ability to receive those "Fantastic" ones....the ones that you maybe were unable or unwilling to admit to previously. If you are able to literally handle "fantastic" ideas and experiences...this is a building block to control....and part of your previous failures were probably (bet me) based in a lack thereof. "Balance is performance" - is a working concept, T - not just pretty words.
Are there tools you could use to subconcciously remind yourself that you can? If so do they work? Same tools you use now, to fail with. You just change the control vector. Your subconscious mind is like a little girl - it will do for you what you direct it to do - but it doesn't like to be Told what to do....it wants a sense of agreement. And it doesn't work real well with words ---- It likes Images much better.
How do I change the whispered little thoughts that I hear in my mind telling me that I cant? It seems I have little control over them because they move so quickly. Focused thought moves "quickly" - just as trained thought or predisposition - or just as habit-trained vice or virtue or addiction-based actions. Movements performed in synch many times over build a rythym and tune which to the outsider looks "quick". So works the mind. To change these thoughts - you must replace them with those you use more often. The replacement effort has to occur at all levels - not just intellectual.
