![]() Here’s to a Happy New Year and to getting everything that you want out of 2017! With the New Year you have the opportunity to start with a clean slate and a brand new year spread out in front of you, filled with endless possibilities. How will you harness your potential to create the very best you? I recommend using the teachings of Dr. Maxwell Maltz in his legendary book ‘The New Psycho-Cybernetics'. Dr. Maltz created the original science of self improvement and success, so who better to turn to when you’re ready to take your life to another level. His teachings have stood the test of time.
Take the following and get all that you want out of 2017: 1. Use Your Imagination If you thought that imaginations were only valued in preschool, think again. One of the key points in ‘The New Psycho-Cybernetics’ is the technique of using your imagination to reprogram and manage your self image. You may have been exposed to self improvement strategies that tell you to ‘act as if’ or to ‘fake it till you make it.’ Those typically won’t work because your self image will still be the same. According to Dr. Maltz, your self image is the key to changing your actions and habits. If you want to lose 50 pounds, you first have to think of yourself as someone 50 pounds lighter. Spend time in your own imagination. See yourself 50 pounds lighter. Experience a day in your life at this slimmed down size. Imagine everything down to the smallest detail. According to Dr. Maltz, this imagination time will begin to change your self image to that of a person 50 pounds lighter, and your actions and habits will fall into place. 2. Reject Negative Thoughts Negative thoughts will undoubtedly arise as you use your imagination to see your ideal self. “I’m not really going to lose 50 pounds.” “I’ve tried losing weight before and it never works. I’m always going to be overweight.” “This imagination stuff is bogus. It won’t work for me.” Dr. Maltz says that the instant you receive a negative thought simply dismiss it. Don’t spend any time evaluating or thinking about this negative thought at all. The quicker that you dismiss negative thoughts, the less impact they will have on your self image. Also, you’ll find that fewer and fewer negative thoughts arise once you get into the habit of dismissal. 3. Be Nostalgic For The Future It’s so easy to be nostalgic about the past, especially when you only remember the good stuff. But what good does it do for you to wish for things that are long gone? Dr. Maltz recommends developing nostalgia for the future. In your imagination you’ve already lost the 50 pounds, so start pining for the future! Your self image will lock onto that picture and your nostalgic feelings will fuel the fire. 4. I’m The Kind Of Person That… What kind of person are you now? But more importantly, what kind of person will you be in 2017?
