Modulo 12 SOFTWARE PARA EL CEREBRO

Psychology of Knowledge: Software for the Brain

The Value of Time

• Rayas Tracey introduces the course, emphasizing that time is the most precious resource in life, valued even more than money by many adults in America and Canada.

Changing Internal Programming

• Tracey discusses how changing one's internal programming can lead to changes in the external world, highlighting impatience as a common feeling when seeking rapid change.

Techniques for Rapid Change

• The session focuses on achieving quick and permanent changes in internal programming through various techniques, referred to as "software for the brain."

Written Programming Technique

• Tracey introduces the "written programming technique," which he claims is simple yet powerful enough to significantly impact results. He emphasizes its effectiveness based on personal experience.

Learning Modalities

• The technique relies on three learning modalities: auditory (hearing), visual (seeing), and kinesthetic (feeling). Combining these enhances acceptance of new information into the subconscious mind.

Concentration and Writing

• Writing requires total concentration, making it an effective method for programming thoughts. It engages visual and auditory senses while also demanding emotional energy.

Daily Goal Rewriting

• Tracey advises rewriting goals daily after reading them. This process can take only a few minutes but can evolve into a longer routine that reinforces goal setting through positive affirmations.

Visualization Techniques

The Power of Visualization and Relaxation Techniques

Importance of Visualization

• The speaker emphasizes the significance of visualizing a desired outcome, suggesting that imagining the feeling of pleasure associated with achieving a goal is crucial.

• It is highlighted that one should envision themselves on the path to their goal, which will eventually align with the right timing for both the individual and their aspirations.

The Law of Relaxation

• Introduced as a key concept, the Law of Relaxation states that in mental endeavors, less effort often leads to better results.

• In contrast to physical tasks where more force yields quicker results, mental tasks require relaxation for optimal performance.

• The speaker illustrates this principle using relationships; excessive effort can hinder natural development, while relaxation allows for organic growth.

Techniques for Mental Preparation

• A technique called "Quick Affirmation" or "Rapid Programming" is introduced as beneficial before significant one-time events (e.g., interviews or presentations).

• This method prepares individuals psychologically and physically by programming their subconscious mind with appropriate responses and behaviors.

Steps for Effective Visualization

• To utilize this technique effectively, one should visualize a perfect outcome prior to an important event.

• For instance, during a presentation, envisioning receiving applause helps set a positive expectation.

Affirmations and Emotional Release

• After visualization, affirmations are recommended; stating success reinforces belief in achieving it.

• Finally, it's essential to emotionally release these thoughts as if they have already occurred—allowing the subconscious mind to process them naturally.

Mental Rehearsal Technique

• The concept of mental rehearsal is discussed as a practice used by high achievers across various fields.

Understanding the Mindset of Winners

The Power of Visualization and Memory

• The speaker describes a mental exercise where individuals visualize past successes on one side of a "split screen" while anticipating future events on the other, creating a powerful emotional connection.

• By combining feelings of past triumphs with upcoming situations, individuals can program their subconscious mind to engage in behaviors that lead to success.

• The distinction between winners and losers is highlighted: winners focus on positive memories, while losers dwell on past failures, which affects their mindset before new challenges.

Shifting Focus from Fear to Desire

• Losers often relive negative experiences vividly, leading to feelings of humiliation and failure. In contrast, winners remember excellence and success.

• Individuals must consciously decide whether to focus on desired outcomes or feared results; the natural tendency is often towards fear.

• A technique called "say 'stop'" is introduced as a method for interrupting negative thoughts and redirecting focus toward desired outcomes.

Maintaining Positive Mental Discipline

• It’s emphasized that maintaining focus on what one wants requires consistent effort against the natural inclination towards negativity.

• Most people lack discipline and tend to slide into negative thinking; thus, it’s crucial to remain vigilant about one's thoughts regarding upcoming events.

Techniques for Success Visualization

• To combat negative thinking, individuals are encouraged to imagine themselves succeeding in various scenarios as if they have already achieved those successes.

• The "standard affirmation technique" involves writing down personal goals as positive affirmations using index cards or paper for clarity and reinforcement.

Steps for Effective Affirmation Practice

• Establish 10 to 15 prioritized goals written as present-tense affirmations. This helps the subconscious mind work effectively with multiple objectives at once.

• Twice daily (morning and afternoon), individuals should read these affirmations aloud clearly, reinforcing their goals through repetition.

Visualization Techniques for Achieving Goals

The Power of Visualization

• Visualizing the outcome of achieving a goal, such as earning $50,000 annually, can lead to tangible results like a better car or a larger house.

• Imagine performing excellently in your current job to generate that income; visualization should focus on the end result rather than the process.

• Envision feelings of satisfaction and pleasure associated with achieving goals, such as gifting yourself a trip to Tahiti.

Enhancing Emotional Connection

• Collect brochures or images related to your goals (e.g., Tahiti), as associating emotions with achievements helps the subconscious accept these goals more readily.

• Use index cards to write down your goals; reading and repeating them multiple times reinforces their importance and aids visualization.

Relaxation and Affirmations

• Being relaxed during visualization exercises enhances acceptance by the subconscious mind; consider using spiral notebooks for affirmations.

• The "sports programming technique" combines mental rehearsal with relaxation, used by top athletes to improve performance through self-conditioning.

Practical Application of Visualization

• To become proficient in sports (e.g., skiing), learn from experts and visualize perfect performances before sleep while relaxing deeply.

• Engage in two types of visualizations: observing yourself perform excellently from an external perspective and experiencing it through your own eyes.

Repetition for Mastery

• Top athletes utilize mental rehearsals repeatedly without failure, programming their minds for success in their respective sports.

• Each time you visualize an action, measurable energy impulses are sent throughout your body, preparing you for actual performance.
