From
Psycho-Cybernetics, by Dr. Maxwell
Maltz, with revisions by Dan Kennedy, we finish our series on these pertinent
thoughts on sparking the imagination.
This
is the second in this two-part series.
6-Imagine
Performing Perfectly
Dr. Maltz says, “Always imagine yourself
performing perfectly. Realize excellent
results in the present tense."
The mindset is “I am doing …” not “I want to
do ...”
7-Resist
Left Brain Interruption
The left brain will often want to
dominate. In order to tune into our
creativity side, we have to quiet the left brain – logical, facts and figures
side. The left brain is great at lists,
schedules, filling out forms,
Allow your right brain with its picture
mindset, emotional sparks and sensory instincts to dominate when attempting to
stimulate the imagination.
8-Use
Instant Replay
What have you done right in the
past? Use those images and relive those
experiences as examples to build upon in creating new imagined scenarios.
9-Mental
Movies and Mental Rehearsal
Movies of the mind is a buzz phrase to
describe this concept. And as Denis
Waitley and others encourage, use perfect practice when playing your
movie. Picture yourself performing a
flawlessly gold medal routine. It works.
10-Capture
Great Ideas
Many of the greats keep some kind of
capture net handy for the times that ideas strike. For me, it is an ever present Moleskin
pocket-size book. Others use digital
recorders on smart phones. Key idea –
use what works for you to capture the idea before it flies away.
