Stacking Rocks: The Ultimate Mind Hack
How to Program Yourself to Achieve Your Dreams
Understand that mindset is really important. It's crucial. If you don't think something's possible, then you're not even going to try to do it. If you think that you're going to fail you're not going to try and do it either, or if you think you're not very good at something you're not really going to try and do it either.
Having the right paradigm, and having the right mindset is crucially important. Having the right one literally changes your reality; I'm going to show you exactly how I programmed my own mind. I'm going to show you all of the different things I do so that I can program my mind for success, and I'm going to show you how you can do the exact same thing yourself so that you can really start to have some success as well and really hack your own mind, and hack your own reality. I can't wait to share this with you. If you take action on this stuff it will seriously change your life for the better, so you want to pay close attention and read this in its entirety.
In this letter We’re going to talk about reality. What we know about reality, what most of the world thinks they know about it, they've got it quite wrong, and there's so much about it that we don't understand.
We're going to briefly go over what we know about reality, and then we're going to talk about synchronicity and confirmation bias. These are two profoundly powerful things to do with your mindset. Suppose you are interested in buying a new Porsche, and then everywhere you go you start to see Porsches, just everywhere, like all over the place. And you're like, where did all these Porsches come from? That's a synchronicity. Or you might always look at the clock, and when you look at the clock, it's always 11:11, like 1, 1, 1, 1. That's a synchronicity. We're also going to talk about confirmation bias, and how these two things can either serve you massively and really help you achieve whatever you want in life, or they can really make you suffer and cause a lot of anguish and pain. We're going to discuss those two things.
Then we're going to talk about the human mind as an evolutionary algorithm. We're going to discuss how your mind is an algorithm, and I'll describe to you exactly what that algorithm looks like, and how you can really hack it to get what you want in life and in business, and in your finances, and all areas of life. Then I'm going to show you exactly how I've hacked my own mind. I've spent a lot of time, really studying psychology, psychoanalysis, all of kinds of different stuff about human consciousness, and reality. I've been able to really hack my own brain so that things which I'm afraid of, or things which I'm not good at, I'm able to learn them very quickly. I'm also able to make myself very good at them
.
I'm going to show you exactly how I do that, and most importantly how you can do the same for yourself starting today. This is going to be awesome because I'm just going to show you the most important pieces to do with this paradigm and worldview.
Then we're going to take action on it, and we're going to start hacking your brain today so that you can achieve some massive success.
Einstein said, "As I've said so many times, God doesn't play dice with the world," and Einstein got it wrong. The entire world believes that they're living life at the mercy of rigid odds and probabilities. Most of the world believes that everything in this world has to do with odds, and the odds are always against us. Like the chances of you getting some disease, are a certain percent. The chances of you getting sick are this percent, and the chances of starting a successful business is like almost zero. They say that 9 out of 10 businesses fail, and they say that only the elite get rich, and everyone else suffers, and the chance of you being successful is just like 0.0002%.
They say all of these different odds, and it's like most people believe that we live with all of these odds, and that there's nothing we can really do to become successful because the odds are so against us, and really the entire world believes they're living life at the mercy of these rigid odds and probabilities, just like rolling dice. What the whole world doesn't know is that the dice are loaded.
Loaded dice are dice designed to be heavier on one particular side, and they're engineered to roll some numbers more than others. They are essentially cheaters dice, since you know with great possibility that particular outcomes will occur. What they do is they make them way heavier on one side of these dice, and when you roll them, they're almost guaranteed to land on a particular side and always show a particular number. These dice are guaranteed to land and produce a 7 or an 11 every single time.
I’m going to show you how you can play with loaded dice too. Just imagine being able to play with dice that always landed on like a 7 or 11, and you knew that you'd win almost every bet that you got into. If you had the option to play with loaded dice or not to play with loaded dice, you'd definitely want to be play with the loaded dice
Let's talk about what we know about reality. Classical physics tells us that things are things, and objects are objects, like a tree is a tree, a desk is a desk, and a human is a human. If you see a desk you can touch it and it's hard, and you can knock on it. It's a physical object. Quantum physics tells us that these things aren't really physical at all. They are just particles all spinning around, and it's mostly nothing at all. It's like 80% nothing, and then just 20% particles. That's what quantum physics tells us.
There's a contradiction between the two sciences because it's like one says that things are things, but one says that things aren't things at all. Quantum physics is what we observe under a microscope, really zoomed in, but classical physics and material objects are what we observe when we just view things with our eyes, and we touch things.
The thing is that matter, material objects, things that we call reality like a tree, and a desk, and a person, matter can't be observed without a thinking participant. If a thinking participant isn't there, we are not able to perceive anything material. A human conscious mind is necessary to actually perceive anything as reality. Simply put, matter can't be observed without a thinking participant. When there is no thinking participant there to observe it, it's like there's nothing there at all.
If you're like, wait a minute, no, there must be something there if there's not a thinking participant there.
How do you know?
Because the only way that you can know is to go back into that room and observe it. There's no way to know if something is there or not there when we're not observing, because there's no way to observe while not observing. The thing is, is that what we see and experience in life is not reality. It's more reality exposed to our method of questioning. Simply put, your hypothesis affects your outcome. What you believe is going to happen, or what you believe is going to come true, or what you believe is a fact is quite often going to affect the outcome and make it that. Your hypothesis affects your outcome.
Stay with me!
Now we're going to talk about two profoundly powerful concepts called synchronicity, and confirmation bias. These two things are extremely powerful. What is synchronicity? Synchronicity is the simultaneous occurrence of events that appear significantly related but have no discernible connection. Don't worry if that definition sounds too crazy or complex, because I'll give you the plain English simple one in just a minute, but this is what the actual definition of it is.
Here are some examples to really drive home this point.
Everyone will have experienced synchronicity in their life. It is impossible to have lived and not have experienced synchronicity. Have you ever thought of a particular friend, or family member, or whatever? You just think about them, and then it's real spooky because then they might text you right at that moment, or they might call you right at that moment. Have you ever thought of an old favorite movie you like and then turn on the TV only to discover that it is playing at that moment? I know I have.
Quite often people call people and they're like, oh that's strange I was just thinking about calling you. That there is a synchronicity. Another one is you start to notice spooky similarities between you and characters in TV programs and movies. You might start to notice that the movie you're watching has a lot to do with your own life, or the program you're watching has a lot to do with your own life. You might hear a song on the radio and listen to the lyrics, and it's got to do with your own life. These are all synchronicities, and I'm sure that you've experienced at least some of these, probably almost all of them. Because it's really impossible to be alive and not have experienced these different synchronicities.
Here's the thing, most scientists and experts today will tell you that these occurrences are meaningless coincidences, and they mean nothing. They just write them off as coincidences. It's like if you're thinking about someone and then they call you, and you're like, oh wow, I was just thinking about you. It's kind of just like laugh, laugh, and we don't actually know how those things are connected. If we thought they were connected, most scientists and experts would chalk it up to coincidence.
Most scientists and experts are wrong.
Leonardo da Vinci said, "Learn how to see. Realize that everything connects to everything else." Remember what we discussed about reality? When there is no thinking participant there to observe it it's like there's nothing there at all. Look at something on your desk right now. Like I'm looking at this cup of Earl Grey tea on my end table. If I leave the room and I go outside, how do I know if that cup of tea is still sitting there? There's no way for me to observe it unless I observe it, so I don't know what it's doing when I’m not observing it.
Quantum physics tells us when no one is observing, it's like there's nothing there at all. The thing is, is that a conscious observer is necessary to view reality. A thinking, conscious observer is necessary to perceive reality and actually see reality, and see physical objects, and material objects. If we take away the conscious observer, we don't know whether the object still exists or not. Suppose there’s a person here and he's looking at a tree. He can see a tree. He can go up to it, and touch it, knock on it and everything. It's really there. But if we take away the conscious observer we don't know if that tree is still there or not.
If we take away the observer, we take away the tree. You might be thinking, no, the tree will still be there. That's ridiculous. You know, if I go and view a tree and it's there, and then I go away, the tree will still be there. The thing is how do you know? Because there's no way to possibly know unless you go and observe the tree.
Quantum physics tells us it’s as if there's nothing there at all. What we see and experience in life is not reality. It's more reality exposed to our method of questioning. But it gets even deeper than that.
Much deeper!
Stay with me!
This is going to blow your mind!
Now I want to discuss synchronicity and confirmation bias on a deeper level. I've already told you a little bit about synchronicity but I'm going to totally blow your mind about how powerful it is. Synchronicity is the simultaneous occurrence of events that appear significantly related but have no discernible connection. Example, becoming interested in a particular model of car and seeing it everywhere
.
A confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, and favor, and recall information in a way that confirms one's preexisting beliefs or hypotheses. An example is believing Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton is a horrible person. Then what happens is you start finding tons of articles, tons of videos, and people who agree with you and rejecting what goes against it. That's a confirmation bias. It's whatever belief we hold in our mind we tend to go out and find more information to support that belief. What does this mean?
Not only is a conscious observant necessary to perceive reality. Their thoughts, beliefs, and theories change the way they perceive reality. So not only is a human observer necessary to see reality, but whatever they have in their mind, whatever beliefs and thoughts they have in their mind, that changes the reality that they observe. A conscious observer is necessary to perceive reality, and the thoughts, beliefs, and theories the observer has will influence what they perceive in reality too.
What we see and experience in life is not reality. It's more reality exposed to our method of questioning. Simply put, your hypothesis affects your outcome.
Whatever you believe to be true, you're only going to go out seeking evidence that supports it, and you're going to reject evidence that goes against it. That's a confirmation bias, and when you have a confirmation bias you experience synchronicity. When you're moving around and you're experiencing reality, if you see anyone or if you see any news that supports your theory that the earth is round or flat you're going to pull that closer to you, but if you see anything that's against it you're going to reject that. That's synchronicity and confirmation bias.
Simply put, your hypothesis affects your outcome, so if you believe in the flat earth hypothesis, that's going to affect your outcome. You're going to perceive a reality that confirms that. That's what's called a confirmation bias.
Now I’m going to talk about the human mind as an evolutionary algorithm. The human mind is an algorithm. The way it works, it's fascinating. The way the human mind works is just like an insanely good algorithm. It's just crunching information all the time.
The algorithm looks like this. You've got your current situation, and then your action, and then your new situation. Your current situation right now could be that you have pale skin and you've been inside for too long, and you definitely need to go outside and see some sun. That could be your current situation. Then your action is that you go to the beach and you start lying in the sun and sun tanning. Then your new situation is that you become sun tanned. That's very simple, very simple stuff. This is how your mind's algorithm works.
Your current situation might be that you're bad at math, and your action might be, so you don't pay any attention to it, and you don't try very hard on the exam and then the new situation is that I knew I was bad at math.
There's one key piece to this algorithm that most don’t account for. It's the hypothesis. A hypothesis, this is the thing which human beings have which is unique in their consciousness. Not only do we have an algorithm, but we have the ability to forecast. We have the ability to look into the future and think what want to have in the future, what outcome do we want to achieve in the future?
Then we're able to form a hypothesis about the future. Then we're able to look at the hypothesis in the future. Then we're able to look at possible actions we could take to make that hypothesis come true. We're able to forecast, we're able to look into the future and play with different hypotheses. We're able to think, okay well what if I wanted to do this, what if I wanted to do that, and then okay well if I did want to achieve that what actions would I take? This is the unique thing which the human mind has. It's not just an algorithm like a computer. It's an algorithm that has the ability to forecast, and think ahead, and set a hypothesis.
You could have a hypothesis about a new situation in the future, then you could have a hypothesis about an action to take. Then with those hypotheses you can then go and take the actual action. The human mind has the ability to hypothesize about the desired outcome it wants in the future, and then hypothesize about what actions might make that desired outcome happen. Just by forming a hypothesis about the desired outcome in the future, and the actions that you believe are necessary to achieve that desired outcome, you're using synchronicity and confirmation bias to your advantage.
So, if I look out into the future and I'm like, well I'm bad at math. My current situation says I'm bad at math, and there's a math exam coming up, and I think out into the future. I think okay I'm definitely going to fail that math exam. That's my hypothesis. If I think well, I'm definitely going to fail that math exam, then my actions are going to be okay well I shouldn't even try that math exam. I should just wait five minutes, or the minimum time and then walk out, because there's no way I'm going to pass it anyway. That's your hypothesis. You had a hypothesis about the future. You're going to fail the exam. Then you had a hypothesis about your action, not to even try, and then that's your confirmation bias.
You can use this to your advantage or disadvantage. If you think you're going to ace an exam, you’re more likely to ace it, and if you think you're going to fail it, you're more likely to fail it, because we experience synchronicity. It's like when you become interested in Porsches, you’re more likely to see Porsches and when you believe that you're going to ace an exam, you're more likely to ace that exam. Just the same, that's synchronicity and confirmation bias. You're literally changing the bias of your own reality by setting a hypothesis.
Let's talk about some examples. You could have a current situation right now that you're bad at math. That might be your reality right now. You might be bad at math. Then you might have a hypothesis about the future, and your hypothesis is that you're really bad at math, and stupid, and you're going to fail the exam. Then you might have a hypothesis about what action to take. That's going to be that I shouldn't even try because I'm bad at math now, in the future I'm probably going to bad at math too, so I shouldn't even try being good at math, because that's silly.
Once we've set the hypothesis about the situation, then we set the hypothesis about the action. The next thing is then we go, and we take the action, and then the action we take is going to be little to nothing, because we hypothesized that we shouldn't really achieve anything. Then we take little to no action, and then we experience a new situation. The new situation is bias towards the hypothesis we set for it. The new situation confirmed that I was right, and that I am in fact bad at math. I knew it. I knew that in the future I would be bad at math, and so I knew not to even try, so then I didn't even try, and then I knew it. I am bad at math, and I got it right.
Then that's going to feed back around and create a feedback loop and it just passes back around. That's just a reinforced belief that I'm bad at math, and it just keeps going around again, and again, and again, and again. This is how the human brain works. This is the master algorithm of your mind. We set the hypothesis about the future, we set the hypothesis about the action. Then we take the action. Then we experience the actual future with enough time.
There's a heavy, heavy, heavy bias towards what we set the hypothesis, because as I've told you, what we see and experience in reality is not really reality. It's just reality exposed to our method of questioning.
Our method of questioning is our hypothesis that we set, and if we set a negative hypothesis, we're going to expose reality to a negative experience. However, if we set a positive hypothesis then we're going to perceive reality as a positive experience. That's how it works, because what we see in life isn't really material objects and physical things. It’s just lots of particles all spinning around, and different possibilities depending on your own state of consciousness.
You could have a current situation that you're bad at sales. You might be introverted, shy, and horrified of sales, and you might have never sold anything in your life ever. Your current situation right now, I'm bad at sales. Imagine this for a second. You're bad at sales right now, and then you set the hypothesis in the future that you're amazing at sales. You're going to kill it. Then you set the hypothesis for the action. The hypothesis that I should try my best, because if I apply myself, I will be amazing.
This time you've set a positive hypothesis. You think you're going to be amazing at it, and you're going to give it all you've got, even though your current situation is that you're bad at it. Then the action is going all out with everything that you have, because you believe that you can do it. Since you believe it's possible, you're just going to go all out and give it all you've got, because that's what your hypothesis was. Then your new situation, after you've gone all out and given it all you've got your new situation has confirmed that I was right, and that I am in fact amazing at sales.
This is what happens. This is how reality happens to everyone. This is what happens when you set a positive hypothesis about the future, then you'll quite often set a hypothesis about action that you should take a lot of action, and then when you do take a lot of action you're exponentially more likely to experience a positive outcome that reinforces your hypothesis. Then what happens is you experience feedback. The feedback is a reinforced belief that I am amazing at sales. I was right. I thought I was going to be amazing at sales and then I was. Whoa, that's amazing. Whatever I say to myself is likely to be true now. You start to build up this feedback.
Each time you start having this loop go around and around, and around, and you hypothesize that you're going to be amazing at something, and then you take action, and then you experience it, you start getting better, and better, and better, and better, and better.
I wasn’t always strong at math, but then I changed it, because I needed to do math all the time, to figure out conversion rates, to do accounting and manage my business. It wasn't serving me to be average at math anymore, so I changed the algorithm, and I just got really good at it all of the sudden.
Setting a hypothesis about what you want to achieve in life exponentially improves your ability to achieve it. It puts the power of synchronicity and confirmation bias on your side, and it loads the dice in your favor. Rolling loaded dice is when you hack, your mind's evolutionary algorithm and set the hypothesis to be exactly where we want it. Everyone in life is thinking that all of these odds are against them and everything, but they don't actually understand that they set the odds. They distort the odds by whatever hypothesis they have.
If you set a hypothesis about the future that you are going to be amazing at something, then you're much more likely to make that come true. It's like you're starting to load the statistics on your side. You're starting to load the odds on your side. Rolling loaded dice is when we hack our mind's evolutionary algorithm and set the hypothesis to be exactly where we want it. Our mind then goes to work optimizing for that desired outcome.
Now I've explained all of this to you, I've really tied it all together. Now we've boiled it down. Now it's time to hack. I'm going to show you how I hacked my own brain. I'm going to show you the exact processes I did, the exact things I did. Then I'm going to show you how you can hack your own brain too.
It is absolutely essential to write down your vision, dreams and goals for yourself. One huge flaw as a human is that we forget easily and quickly.
7 Crucial Keys to Remember
• It doesn't matter what is true, only what you believe is true, because with work that will become true. Your thoughts create your beliefs, and your beliefs become your reality. The universal theory of everything and the master algorithm of evolution is beliefs, actions, results, feedback. You must intercept your own algorithm at the beliefs stage, take massive action with your new beliefs, experience your new results, and then listen to feedback and iterate your beliefs and actions again and again each time to perfect the process.
• Where you are in life, your current situation, it's all you're doing. You built yourself and your life, and it's you who's solely responsible for where you are right now and where you go in the future.
• We create our own realities through our thoughts, beliefs, and actions. The best way to live life is to evolve yourself and achieve whatever you want, to become whoever you want to be.
• We are not the highest version of ourselves which we can imagine. We are the lowest version of ourselves which we can accept. What you must do is understand that you will do nothing to achieve your dreams but fight like hell to not breach your standards. If you want to achieve your dreams and goals, you must turn them into irrefutable standards.
• Be constantly aware of your own patterns of existence. As humans we are constantly in conflict between the person we are right now and the person we want to become. The two selves are often at war with each other and create a waveform like pattern of highs and lows. Take note of the highs and the lows and look for markers to warn you of the turns so that you can catch yourself and correct them.
• Nothing is static, and everything in this universe is forever becoming. The real question is: who am I becoming?
• Our minds are on/off systems that are programmed over time to believe certain things, and our experience of reality is simply the result of those beliefs. When we experience something or think of something, we stack a rock on a particular set of scales, either positive or negative. Each belief is a scale, and whatever side has the most rocks on it, that's what we believe. What we believe is our reality.
It might sound repetitive because we've already covered all of these, but seriously I still read these multiple times a day, because the last thing I want to do on earth is forget about this stuff. It's one thing to learn something, but once you learn it and it works you don't want to forget about it. If you're thinking, oh I've already heard this, good. You want to just keep reminding yourself of it until it just becomes you.
Be constantly aware of mental feedback loops. What one thinks is what one thinks about. A circular relationship where cause creates effect, and effect bends back around and feeds back into cause in a self-fulfilling, reflexive cycle. Mental feedback loops can build you up to be the best in the world or break you down until you consider taking your own life. Make sure you catch the downs and feed the ups.
These are things which you want to read every morning and every night, just to remind yourself, because we forget, and this is how you change your paradigm. You've got to remind yourself of what everything is. Then we have daily affirmations. Here's our algorithm again. It's beliefs, and we intervene here. Then we take massive action and then align it with our beliefs, then we experience our new reality becoming, then we experience feedback, and we iterate upon this process and improve. This is the scientific method.
Here's our daily practice. Number one, first thing in the morning, as soon as you wake up, review your written vision, dreams and goals. Remind yourself of what you want to achieve with your life, who you are becoming, and the legacy you have already started to leave. You are powerful beyond measure.
Creating the New You
There are people who say, I'm not a morning person. What a load of crap! You're not a morning person because you go to bed late. A lot of people are say to themselves, I'm not good at math. Yeah, that's because you never studied math. A lot of people say, I don't know how to spell it. It's because you never tried to. Everyone thinks they're this person and everything, but no shit, you never tried to do it, you don't believe it, so of course not.
We can design exactly who we want to be, and what we want to achieve, and then we can work on it. We can set the hypothesis in the right direction, and in the right position. Then we can work our character. We can build this character from the ground up. Then we can start hacking our own mind and tracking our performance, and believe me once you hit that 31st day, boom, everything changes.
I used to think I wasn't a morning person. I used to think, I'm not a morning person. I said a whole bunch of crap like that. After waking up at 4:00 a.m. for about 30 days it totally changed. When 4:00 a.m. comes around and my eyes are just like, click. I'm up. I just sit up and I'm on my way.
You really want to build this up to be like yeah that's what I want to become. I want to become this. I want to get this. This is the identity that I want. You do that. These words define you. These words define the person you're becoming. Take different qualities and characteristics from those who possess the qualities and characteristics you desire, and you build them into your character. These things inspire you and they build you up. This all kind of merges together, and it starts to become this new character which you're building.
Most people set their hypothesis for the very thing they don't want. They put it as I don't want this, like I don't want anything bad to happen to me. That's their hypothesis. If your hypothesis is you don't want anything bad to happen to you, then probably something bad is going to happen to you, because that's a horrible hypothesis. If you have a negative hypothesis, you're going to experience a negative outcome. If you have a positive one, it exponentially increases your chances of experiencing a positive one.
It's important to remind yourself of the progress you've already made towards your goal, because sometimes you can forget about that too. Sometimes you can wake up and you feel depressed. You need to remind yourself of everything. You remind yourself of what you want, then you remind yourself of how far you've come, and don't worry if you haven't come very far yet.
So, you're writing down exactly what you want to achieve. My goals have shifted a little bit. When I first started, I just wanted to make money, because I just had survival on my brain, because I was broke. My parents didn't have any money. I just wanted to be able to eat food and have my own place, and have clothes, and have a life. Survival was my first and foremost priority and so truthfully, I just started my business because I wanted to make money.
You want to really put some effort into this. Make it big. Make it scare you. When you read this thing in the morning you should be like, oh my god, it's time to go, like we need to get started now. That's what this does. When you keep reading this about yourself and you're saying it as if it's already happened, it's tricking your brain. Your brain is reading this as if it's already you, and the more you read this and the more these little things start to come true,
The more you start to read this and you're saying I am this, your brain starts to believe that it is. When your brain starts to believe that it is you have a confirmation bias and you have synchronicity start to happen. Things start popping up.
When I was working my 9-5 and had just started my business, this very thing happened. About three weeks into my daily affirmations, I came back from a delivery to find a note on my desk telling me to call so and so. I returned the call and this encounter catapulted by business to such a level that I no longer needed to punch a corporate clock.
It turns out these things, like writing them down, reading them, and doing this work, it will seriously change your life.
Look at your vision board and your goals for the future read them out loud to yourself, and then imagine you have already achieved your goals and your vision. Then make the image in your mind detailed and colorful, and experience the vision fully, and let the positive emotions run through your body again and again. What this is doing is it's stacking rocks.
When you read out your goals, like what you want to achieve, you want to imagine yourself achieving those things. You want to start painting a picture in your mind. Start to really see it. Imagine looking in your bank account and seeing 100 grand or imagine walking out and getting into a Porsche and imagine smelling the leather and everything. Then really start building that picture in your mind.
Then when you can see that picture in your mind clearly let the positive emotions run through your body. Let them just run through and just let that positive emotion run through your body, because what happens is that in order to trick the mind fully it's not just a thought. It needs a thought and an image. You need to say the words, then have the thought, then you need to see that image in your head. Then you need to feel the emotions with it, because your mind uses the image, it uses the thought, and it also uses the emotions. When you get all three of those things together it's like, it just jams it in your brain, and your brain thinks that that happened, and your brain thinks that that's real. That's how you hack it!
I got this wrong for quite a while. I thought it was just about reading your goals, and that was it, and so of course I read my goals and they weren't really coming true, but it's more than that. It's about reading your goals, then seeing the image in your mind. Then playing or feeling those positive emotions run through your body and really just feeling it. Because you've got to have the feelings, you've got to have the thought, and you've got to have the image and the vision. That's how you stack rocks, and we're just stacking these rocks on the right side of the scales for us.
You want to read your affirmations out loud to yourself, and then imagine a situation where you achieved your affirmation, and make that vision detailed and colorful. Feel the positive emotions associated with that affirmation run through your body again and again. Stack those rocks and program your mind the way you want it to be programmed. If you scroll down, I've included affirmations for you.
Affirmations are things that you say to yourself to achieve the things you want to achieve. For example, if you're a procrastinator this would be a good one. If you're a procrastinator you want to create an affirmation that's the opposite of being a procrastinator. You'd say “I always think and act today. I feel heroic, confident, and exhilarated knowing my actions today will create momentum tomorrow and the next day. I feel unstoppable.” We're saying, if we are a procrastinator, we want to create something which is the opposite, which is that we always act today.
Then we want to say this to ourselves every day. We want to start stacking rocks on the positive side of taking action. We want to see the image in our head, and then we want to feel the feelings and the emotions that go with that. We want to really let it all run through our body. If you do this again, and again, and again, before you know it you won't be a procrastinator anymore. You will be someone who takes action. Affirmations are insanely powerful. I can't tell you how much these have changed my life and the lives of many others. These things are really powerful!

You can write your own ones, but design them so that you say the statement, and then you have how you feel, and then you've got to associate an emotion with that, like I feel confident, heroic, exhilarated, unstoppable. Because just saying the thing alone is not enough. You need to say it. You need to think of a situation where that actually happens and comes true. You need to play that scenario in your head. Then you need to feel the emotion and let it all kind of vibrate together. That will start placing rocks on the right side of the scales for you.
That's what you do, and you read your affirmations. First thing in the morning we read these. Then we look at our vision board, and we look at our goals, and then we imagine ourselves having our goals, and then we let those positive emotions go through our body. Then you read your affirmations out loud to yourself, and then imagine a situation where that happened, and then do it again and again. Let the emotions run through your body. That's the key part. If you just read them, it won't work. Straight up, if you just read them it won't work.
You have to read them, see the image in your head, imagine a situation where it happens, and then let the positive emotions run through your body. You've got to do it repetitively. Then listen to your affirmations audio recording while resting on a comfy couch. As you hear yourself state each affirmation imagine a situation where you use this and make the picture colorful and detailed. Let the positive emotions run through your body. Stack those rocks and drum the new programming in.
Training is important. Michael Jordan destroyed it on the court, but the reason why he destroys it is because he trained. This is like hitting the gym. What training did you do today? How many hours? Then mindset work. This is important. Michael Jordan said that he shot more three pointers in his imagination than he ever did in real life. The training ground for a lot of athletes is their own mind. Andre Agassi said he's played more tennis in his own mind than he has in real life. Tiger Woods said he had driven more balls in his imagination than he ever did in real life.
Once you've done all the planning and everything, once you've got your mindset tuned up right, you need to plan your day. Put it on paper. What are you going to do? What's it going to look like?
Then once you've done that it's time to act. It's time to go to battle. You just want to work like a beast. You want to just execute on everything you've put in your plan. Then at the end of the day when you've done that, at nighttime when you're lying in bed, complete this process again.
Whatever I want in life I'm just going to take it. I am not the person today who I need to be to accomplish my goals. Therefore, if I want something then I have to program myself to be able to achieve it. That's what all humans are really is just programing. It depends on the way you're programmed. If you're programmed bad, you're going to have a pretty painful existence, but if you're programmed good, you're going to be unstoppable.
Then of course you want to track it. You want to track every day. What you'll find is you might start taking action, but nothing really starts happening for you on day one, day two, day three. Well of course, it's only three days. The magic happens on day 31. It takes about 30 days to rewire new habits or get rid of old habits. So, it'll seem kind of painful for the first few days, but once you get to day 31 it's just gone. It's just, click, it's gone.
It doesn't matter if you used to be a morning person, or an introvert. I've seen introverts turn into extroverts in less than 30 days. I've seen extroverts turn into introverts. If you do programming for 31 days, it changes everything. You can change your whole life in 31 days. You've just got to design it the way you want it to be. You've got to put the evolutionary algorithm to work for what you want. Then you've just got to execute consistently. Consistency of effort builds mental toughness. Be consistent. Show up every day. Get it done. You can make whatever you want to come true come true, if you do the work as well. You just can't dream of things. You've got to take action as well.
