I heard so many people mention this book PsychoCybernetics by Maxwell Maltz here on skilledseducer so I just had to check it out.
All in all the book is amazing and it confirmed many suspicions that I’ve had about myself. My self image holds me back significantly from making any lasting change to my fundamentals.
And I know this shit works because I’ve literally felt the success mechanism Maltz talks about. I once subconciously set a goal to have a sexy voice. Over the next few months I could see myself trying out different vocal projections, levels of depth, etc and slowly optimizing my voice.
By the end of it, I had such a smooth and sexy radio voice it was unbelievable. But soon enough my self image reverted again and now my voice is normal. This happens with so many of my fundamentals and I need to put an end to it.
Maybe I just haven’t understood the book well, but I don’t catch the actual process of how to fully reengineer and build a rock-hard self image that demolishes my goals
Heres a list of all the things I want to program into my self image:
Some of the thoughts I have to myself while reciting / visualizing these are: “Look around you. You aren’t rich.” “You don’t have what it takes (work ethic, talent, etc) to do that” “Thats wrong. Look at the past, people don’t treat you that way.” I try and cancel them but they keep coming up.
Sometimes I find myself being lazy and not doing the work I promised to do, even though I know I can blitz it. My negative and distracting thoughts get in the way.
Especially when it comes time to actually do something to make money, its like theres some strong resistance in my mind I need to get over. I’m 18 and I’m going to get rich by 25, so I need to work my inner world before I dominate the outer world
I’ve been trying at this for months and coming up stuck. Do you guys have any insight that could help me reengineer my self image for good
