Levers of the Mind

Last blog I suggested that the inter-dependant combination of internal representations, state and physiology, at a point in time, will determine our behaviour, and therefore the results we get. I also suggested that our internal representations are the most flexible lever to align our behaviours to our goals.

Internal representations are a snapshot of our thoughts at a point in time, each comprising of a filtered version of the input from our senses. This can be thought of as a snapshot from a movie, a 5D movie (1 dimension for each sense). To this movie we tend overlay a commentary, commonly known as self-talk. This may be saying “This is impossible!” or “I’ll never be able to do this!” or “Why does it always happen to me!” or “This is easy” or “This is bloody brilliant” etc. So if we’re looking to change our internal representations in order to change our behaviours, we have 6 levers to pull.

So which is the best lever to pull? Well it turns out (generally speaking) that we get most leverage from what we visualise, feel and/or hear in our minds.

But HOW do we pull the levers I hear you cry!?

Well that depends…Can you see the pictures in your mind?
