Life on the High-Rise

by

“You rise above your circumstances when you put your mind on the high-rise. Picture what you want BIG. See it hovering above you. Smile into it and laugh. This is what it means to level up.”

Matt,
I was skeptical if Zero Resistance Living would work for me. Why would i need it since i have read Psycho-Cybernetics? Im still encountering difficulties and challenges. But when i bought Zero Resistance Living, it was fresh air.

Dr Maxwell encouraged us to see negative feelings as opportunities to rise above them. Im glad i bought ZRL. Im at Disc 2 now and the concepts and explanations helped me realise how i can achieve success. Like practice without tension and pressure, which you have mentioned regularly in your emails.

Thank you, Matt, for ZRL.

Sincerely,
Brandon

 

Defeat the Whiner Within

by

Hey Matt,

I just read the foreword by you in the book Psycho-Cybernetics. There you mentioned to relive the moment when you won something big in life and feel that feeling again, my question to you is what you should do if there is no moment in your life where you felt like a winner. Thank you in advance for your answer.

Divyansh

Divyansh, my friend,

Good question. So glad you asked even though this interpretation is a grand misinterpretation. You’re not alone on this one. A lot of people have the wrong idea that your winning moments need to be big.

The real question is “When do you start feeling like a winner?”

In your case, it is the moment you slap the inner whiner to activate your inner winner. It is the moment you real-eyes that any win will do. It’s not about big or small. It’s about “when” you will decide to see any win as a big win.

I suggest you look in the mirror and stare at your eyes. Smile at the inner “whiner” you see who is blocking you from seeing your inner winner. Then, with a light touch, playfully slap your face a few times to turn the lights on in your brain. If you’re still standing after these slaps, you just won your first big fight. Keep in mind that this inner whiner may request a rematch – and each time it does so I suggest you gladly oblige. I guarantee you’ll win this fight every time.

This exercise is no joke, and it may make you laugh! That ain’t a bad thing, is it? Laughing is winning.

Misaffirmations?

by

Misaffirmations are affirmations that miss the obvious. They are untrue statements written or recited with the highest of hopes that they will become reality if you repeat them long enough.

Truthful affirmations immediately free the self to create something more. After stating what is true for you now, you have a starting point, a launching pad to your goal.

Stating what isn’t true as if it is, takes away your launching pad, leaving you mired in the quagmire.

Are You 100% Responsible for Everything?

Are You 100% Responsible for Everything that Happens to You?

Q: Matt, are we 100% responsible for everything that happens to us in life?

A: You’re 100% responsible for paying your light bill, but you’re not the one who sent it. Knowing the difference will pay the difference.

What About Those Limiting Beliefs….

by

What About Those Limiting Beliefs

Q: Matt, what do you think about the process of changing one’s limiting beliefs?

A: There’s no limit to limiting beliefs, so you’re better off picturing what was previously off-limits. Focus on a new mental picture of your goal – inject it with enthusiasm and those old limiting beliefs will become broken records.

Accurate Affirmations Improve Divine Timing

by

Accurate Affirmations

Accurate Affirmations are visualized statements that help you embrace and rise above reality. When you’re not fighting with your mind over what is true – you have more energy to direct toward your goals.

Helpful examples:

• Although I am getting older, I still see myself as young and productive.
• I don’t know how much time I have left but I’m going to start now.
• The scale says I weigh X – and I’m doing something about that.
• I’m frustrated but I’m also determined to get good at this.
• The government doesn’t have my back, but I do.

Note: Words or affirmations alone change nothing. Picture what these words mean to you – and feel the impact.

Ask Me Almost Anything

by

Q: Matt, what do you think about using affirmations that begin with I AM and are stated in the positive, present and personal tenses?

A: When you insist on putting all three tenses into your affirmations, it will make you triple-tense. The secret is in being relaxed, not tense. For example, years ago, when I was in MIAMI, I recognized that I always used ‘I AM GOING TO…’ when I am going to eat there. And MY GOODNESS, I always got exactly what I ordered.

The funny thing is, I also noted that “I am going to” worked inside and outside of MIAMI. So I discarded the unnecessary tenses – and this relieved the unnecessary tension that was holding out on me.

How to Clear Your Mind

by

“Upon leaving surgery I also make it a point to spend a couple of minutes in my quiet room, to clear the decks, so to speak, for a new type of action.” – Maxwell Maltz, M.D.

Before and after surgery, Dr. Maltz would clear the mechanism so he could go into his next activity without any emotional carryover or residue.

This might seem as though it is overkill, but when you are as busy as Dr. Maltz was, you’ll understand that this habit led to him being more productive as a writer and speaker.

The good doctor was up early in the morning doing surgeries, then he saw patients. In the evenings, he sat before his typewriter, spinning words into nonfiction books, novels, and plays.

These profoundly different activities require a different type of focus. Failure to reset the mechanism after each activity can lead to a feeling of not knowing how to get yourself started on the next task.

When you don’t clear the calculator (or monitor), it can take hours, and in some cases days, to get yourself going. Consider how long it can take you to recalibrate after a vacation.

Yes, there can be fatigue after a long trip, but these effects can be minimized and eliminated if you take the time to experiment, not only with entering the quiet room of your mind but also with clearing the screen, erasing yesterday’s scenes so you can get back to work today.

Shortly after getting up this morning, I stood in place for ten minutes and cleared my mind with deep breathing exercises. When finished, I made a list of my Daily Do’s. Then I got started on them.

Throughout the day, when I am moving from one activity to another, I keep in mind that a different type of energy and focus may be required. So I shift gears by clearing my mind of what I just finished and picturing what is next.

This process doesn’t take longer than a minute or two. And it’s as simple as pressing a button on the movie screen of your mind.

Are you willing to test the positive effects of clearing the screen of your mind before attempting to go from one type of task to another? The benefits are huge.

The Picture in Your Mind

by

“Pictures are more impressive to your automatic mechanism than words.” – Maxwell Maltz, M.D. Psycho-Cybernetics, Updated and Expanded

Many people are taught to recite positive affirmations as a means of ridding themselves of limiting beliefs. They are taught to use affirmations to think positive and to achieve their goals. These same people are left wondering when these affirmations will start working.

Why? Because most of the time they don’t work.

As Dr. Maltz taught in Psycho-­ Cybernetics, positive thinking or positive affirmations that aren’t rooted in a mental picture are not sending a clear message to your mind.

You can recite “I am rich” all you want, but if you’re seeing poverty and lack in your mind’s eye as you’re reciting these words, or if you have the feeling that you’re “lying to yourself,” this practice cannot work because the picture is predominant.

The mental picture creates the feelings you experience, and if the feeling is off, the imagery is most certainly off.

On the other hand, if you do not use positive affirmations but have a mental picture of what you want and the feeling of having what you desire, a simple word or partial phrase will do.

In fact, if you use the words “I am going to…” while picturing what you want, just as you do every day before eating, this will work magnificently well for you.

This is why I encourage people to begin their goal statements with “I am going to” or “I will.” As you use these words, though, make sure you are picturing getting what you want as well as activating the feelings you will have when you have accomplished the goal.

About “Constructive Criticism”

by

Much of what is passed along as “constructive criticism” is neither helpful or instructive.

When someone’s words are “constructive” they build a skill inside of you that is clearly visible.

The best teacher I have ever had looked at what I was doing and said one word, “No.” Other times he simply shook his head from side to side.

The word “no” was usually followed by a pause that lasted as long as 10 seconds.

The teacher now had my attention.

Then he showed me what to do again. And he continued to show me until I got it.

With this approach I learned far faster than ever before and began using the method myself.

No…

Pause…

Show it again. And again. And again.

Saying less is more.
