Psycho Cybernetics Test

[Time Traveler]

Hi everyone !

As my experience with previous journal shows, journaling is a useful thing. It keeps me accountable, 'cause, as I've said, I keep promises made publicly better than these only given to myself.

This time I'll try out Psycho Cybernetics.

I was pretty sure long ago that willpower can't get us very far. Actually it is  waging war with myself. Or with a part of me. I know, there are many people who live their lives with clenched fists and hate against life. Not for me.

On the other hand there is nice methods of reprogramming subconscious to change self-image as desired. After one have done this, achieving success runs on autopilot like when we drive a car (so they say).

For me though these methods was hard to learn cause I am terrible at visualization and visualization is a cornerstone of them. So I decided long ago that that's not for me.

But recently watching Leos last video where he mentions Psycho Cybernetics I decided to give it a try.

If bear can learn to drive a bike them I can learn visualize

First evening I listened to 6 hour audio on Youtube before I fell asleep.

I remember  about 2 types of visualization:

1) when I see myself as in movie. In that movie I have reached my goals or act in very effective ways to reach them or (at least) see some scenes from my past where I dealt with something very effectively.

2) when I imagine doing some actions feeling inside my body (used by athletes to train some movements, e.g. basketball player who train throwing ball into basket)

Next morning I decided to try to visualize graphical user  interface to software I need to make fast and it was very useful. Later, when I was actually coding, I felt much better about my project.

I couldn't contrive what to do with second type. Imagine doing some karate kicks ? Or how I will mend my furnace ?

Btw, good idea about furnace, I'll definitely try it.

 

Then there was one relaxation technique I remember where one should imagine some comfortable hiding place but I couldn't think of that one either. I feel stressed wherever I am.

Visualization

I'm not completely hopeless. Although I still cannot visualize big goals and such things, I am training visualizing actions I plan to do today. Like some construction to mend furnace. Strange, but it works better than ordinary designing with pen and paper.

I am starting to use conception of self-image. When I become aware of some negative thoughts, feelings, etc, I ask myself: "what is my self-image at this moment ? Do I wish to be like that ?". And it helps. I then try to change self-image responsive for negativity to such that I wish to see in myself.

From today I am starting my gratitude list as advised in Psycho Cybernetics audio presentation.

Today I am grateful for:

1) my wife's former colleague who drive 20 km just to give me advice on my car

2) my wife's moral support and advice

3) my dog came home after fucking around for 3 days

4) wonderful warm spring day

5) 20 more liters of fresh birch juice 

6) my perfect physical healtf

7) I managed to fill containers with  birch juice to ferment for summer

8) my success with visualization

9) my success with PHP/MySQL studies

Visualization

I was trying to visualize my refuge (a place where I can relax and get ready for new battles) and I decide to try alpine skiing cause I like it very much. I choose shallow place to slide down in a relaxed manner, but route gets steeper and steeper and I go down much faster as I could in reality. At last I cannot take a turn and crashed in woods  This wasn't exactly relaxing, but I got nice shivers all over the body

Today I am grateful for:
