Improving life beyond the trading arenaHow To Improve Yourself WHAT IS PSYCHO-CYBERNETICS AND HOW CAN IT HELP YOUR TRADING AND YOUR LIFE? Introduction (From Zero Resistance Living by The Psycho-Cybernetics Foundation, Inc.) A science can be defined as a tested, proven system of knowledge that can be used to produce predictable, accurate results. The science of navigation allows us to calculate exactly where we are anywhere on earth or in space and to accurately predict where our destination is, and when we will arrive at it. The science of chemistry makes possible new compounds and products that enhance our health, nutrition, safety - every area of our lives. With a single bone, the science of archaeology can reconstruct the world and life of an animal that died millions and millions of years ago. The sciences of aeronautics and computers make it possible to maneuver an unmanned space craft millions of miles away with pinpoint accuracy and to broadcast a detailed photographic record of its journey. So a science can be thought of as a system of information so dependable and true that it can be used to make life better. Psycho-Cybernetics is the first science of human development - a system of knowledge that will allow you to make accurate, predictable changes in how you think, how you feel, what you do and the amount of success and enjoyment you get out of life. PsychoCybernetics moved human development out of the realm of wishing, hoping, and undependable techniques into the realm of predictable, positive results. Youll find no wishing and no hoping in Psycho-Cybernetics. Psycho-Cybernetics is based on scientific knowledge of how the human brain and nervous system work together to produce thinking, attitude and behavior. The underlying principles have been tested and proven in countless experiments in laboratories and research institutions around the world. And the practice of Psycho-Cybernetics has been proven successful by the millions of people who have used it to change their lives in remarkable ways over the last thirty years. Psycho-Cybernetics works at a fundamental level, and the changes it produces effects all areas of life. Some of the following items will be beyond the scope of this book, but PsychoCybernetics has many uses for improving life beyond the trading arena. The more you learn how to master Psycho-Cybernetics, the more you can expect to: 1) Build a strong, positive self-image that expresses the real you, the best you. 2) Set clear goals and achieve them predictably. 3) Stop seeing your mistakes as failures and actually learn to use your mistakes as valuable feedback that guides you to your goals. 4) Be more productive and successful financially and in your career. 5) Forgive others and yourself and wash away resentment that take the joy out of living. 6) Learn how to relax and stay relaxed. 7) Learn how to deal with anger, even how to use it creatively. 8) Learn how think more clearly. 9) Feel good about your life and yourself all the time. 10) Learn how to improve your relationships with everyone in your life - your family, your friends, coworkers, and especially yourself. 11) Feel a sense of overall satisfaction, fulfillment, and peace as you are bringing out the best of yourself each day. Psycho-Cybernetics will not produce these changes overnight. It takes time to learn the new ways of thinking and acting so that they become automatic in your life, but youll begin to experience positive results almost immediately. Psycho-Cybernetics is easy. Youll see that the techniques do not involve willpower or difficult effort. The exercises and methods of Psycho-Cybernetics utilize your creative imagination in a relaxed, playful way. Theyre simple to learn and fun to do, and like any skill, the skill of becoming your best self grows easier with practice. The word cybernetics comes from a Greek word, which means helmsman, a person who steers a ship to port. The science of cybernetics studies automatic guidance systems like those that enable a guided missile to find its target, a computer to solve complex problems, or robots to do complicated sequences of tasks automatically. The science of cybernetics gives us a very effective way to look at the human brain and nervous system. Our subconscious mind is actually a goal-seeking servo-mechanism, in other words an automatic human guidance system. Psycho-Cybernetics is the science of this human guidance system. This servo-mechanism has access to everything we have ever seen or done, tasted, smelled, felt and learned. It is all recorded in our brain. If you provide this servo-mechanism with a goal, it will automatically produce the means to achieve the goal. So human beings are naturally cybernetic, or goal-seeking beings. Its the way we are created. It is the servomechanism that allows you to tie your shoes, fix breakfast and pilot your car through a complicated journey to get to work, while all the time you are thinking of other things. This servo-mechanism is completely impersonal. It works entirely with what is programmed into it. Its an incredibly powerful tool that is totally under the direction of the conscious mind. If you give it positive, successful goals it will produce positive, successful results. It will become a success mechanism. If you give it goals of failure, it will just as automatically function as a failure mechanism and produce failure. The Importance of Mistakes All automatic guidance systems reach their goals by constantly correcting mistakes. A guided missile on its way to its target has sensors that detect when its off course. The guidance mechanism then makes the necessary adjustment and proceeds. This is done thousands of times on its journey. The guided missile relies on this negative feedback to guide it to its destination. Without this negative feedback, a guided missile would actually not know where it was going and would never reach its target. The same is true for the human servo-mechanism. It is unfortunate that so many of us interpret mistakes as a failure and suffer feelings of frustration and discouragement when actually the mistakes we make are exactly the information that our servomechanism needs to make the necessary corrections to take us to our goals. Your servomechanism has no opinion one way or the other about mistakes. It simply uses the information to guide it to its objective. What we call mistakes are actually valuable lessons for success. An important part of Psycho-Cybernetics is learning to use mistakes creatively and to remove the negative feelings that mistakes cause. Self-Image The destination or goal of a guided missile is a set of coordinates programmed into its computer. The goals that program our creative servo-mechanism are mental images, mental pictures, voices and feelings which we create by the use of imagination. The most basic and important mental image that we use to program our servo-mechanism is our self-image. Our self-image is our mental blueprint or mental picture of ourselves. We dont usually pay attention to it consciously, but it is there outside of our conscious awareness in great detail. This self-image is our concept of the kind of person I am. It is constructed of our beliefs about ourselves, beliefs that have been unconsciously formed from our past experiences, our triumphs and failures, our successes and disappointments, and also by our observations of the way other people reacted to us, especially early in childhood. From all this raw information we construct a self, who we are, our self-image. Once an idea or a belief about ourselves becomes part of this self-image, we accept it as being true. We dont think to question it so we act as if it were true. Our self-image determines our thinking, our feelings, our actions, even what we think our abilities are. It controls the amount of success, excitement, joy, and satisfaction we have. The kind of life we have, even the kind of world we appear to live in, are determined by our self-image. Self-image explains why positive thinking is so undependable. It explains why willpower is so ineffective and difficult to maintain. Because all the willpower and positive thinking in the world cannot produce change and success if they dont match our self-image. Our self-image is constantly programming our creative mechanism. If your self-image is that you are a failure, your servo-mechanism will find a way to deliver that result to you. If your self-image is that you are a victim of circumstance, that will be reflected in your life. If, on the other hand, your self-image is that you are capable and successful, your creative mechanism will produce those results. The science of Psycho-Cybernetics teaches you to change and to create a self-image that is strong, caring, productive and capable. A self-image that is realistic and reasonable, and expresses your best self, your true self. Imagination - The Tool of Change You built your current self-image from the vivid and detailed mental pictures and feelings youve experienced in connection with the events of your life, especially in childhood. And youll use the same powerful tool, your creative imagination, to construct the kind of self-image that expresses the best of you. You will use your imagination to create images and feelings of success, satisfaction, accomplishment and strength, and with these new positive images you will re-program your servo-mechanism so that it begins to produce results in accordance with your new self-image. Youll learn to use your imagination in a relaxed, playful way, never straining, never trying too hard. This process will take time - you didnt construct your current self-image overnight. But soon the new programming will begin to take. You will feel yourself beginning to think, to feel, and to act in accordance with your new successful image of yourself. Eventually, this new self-image will become second nature, completely natural and spontaneous, and it will bring you success, satisfaction, enhanced relationships and happiness quite automatically for the rest of your life. |
