- How to train the brain to overcome any obstacle facing you today
- Why thinking of a past instance of you overcoming a major challenge that you didn’t think you could do is the best place to start
- The best strategy for how to overcome obstacles that come your way
- Focusing on this successful completion of you overcoming that past obstacle
- Visualization and making the picture and sounds of your past success as vivid as possible
- Thinking about your self-doubt or inner critic or people telling you you can’t do something
- Making these negative thoughts incredibly small, and the sounds funny or goofy, and taking the picture and throwing it (in your mind) so far off in the distance you can’t see it
- Bringing up the successful completion of you succeeding in your challenge and making this picture even bigger and more vivid than before
- Matching all the feelings of past success with the new success of your challenge
- Replacing the old picture of negative feelings and doubt that you mentally “threw away” with this new picture of amazing success
- Repeating this technique over and over again until you clearly see it all the time and you achieve the success in overcoming the challenge
