you repeat the same frame of mind every day by mentally rehearsing a new
ideal of self, over time it will become more routine, more familiar, more
natural, more automatic, and more subconscious. You will begin to
remember you as someone else.
In the previous steps, you also unmemorized an emotion that was stored
in your body-mind. Now it’s time to recondition your body to a new mind
and signal your genes in new ways.
Your goal in this final step is to master a new mind in the brain as well as
the body. Thus, it becomes so familiar to you that you are able to reproduce
that same level of being at will and make it look natural and easy. It’s
important that you memorize this new state of mind by thinking in new
ways; equally relevant is to then memorize a new feeling in the body so that
nothing in your outer world can move you from it. This is when you are
ready to create a new future and then live in it. When you rehearse, you
bring the new you out of nothing repeatedly and consistently, so that you
“know how” to call it up at will.
Creating: Use Imagination and Invention
to Bring Your New Self into Existence
In this step, you’ll start by asking yourself some open-ended questions.
As you pose questions that cause you to speculate, to think in different ways
than you typically think, and to entertain new possibilities, this turns on
your frontal lobe.
This entire contemplation process is the building method for making a
new mind. You are creating the platform of the new self by forcing the brain
to fire in novel ways. You’re beginning to change your mind!
