Читать книгу Replacing harmful habits with ability development. Without willpower, without suffering and without visiting a specialist: only psychotechnologies - Группа авторов - Страница 7

There’s no magic or mysticism involved. It’s a convenient tool for repeating the same phrases. Monks use it for mantras and prayers to stay focused. We need it to reprogram the subconscious. It’s a simple method. Even advertisers use it to implant slogans in your subconscious. For years, we’ve been bombarded with the same ad messages. Despite our disdain, we still buy their products.

Advertising is deliberately designed to be simple and childlike. It’s not targeting you directly, but rather your inner child. Your subconscious mind determines which habits control you, including your shopping behaviors. You don’t make these decisions consciously.

This is how you can bypass the filter of consciousness: it filters one-off phrases and doesn’t allow them into the subconscious. You need to repeat your settings for months, and then your subconscious child will accept them as a guide to action. We have six months for this. The younger a person is, the less time they need.

However, the mobile app sets a maximum of 175 days.

The main thing is a well-formed phrase that the subconscious cannot interpret differently or circumvent.

If the phrase is “I want to quit smoking” instead of “I don’t smoke,” you will continue to want to quit smoking. Likewise with “I quit smoking”: you’ll never stop and will “quit” endlessly. Don’t get bogged down in nuances. For example: “Instead of cutting my skin, I’m talented at math” still leaves other ways to hurt yourself – like pills. Replace “Instead of cutting” with “Instead of hurting myself.” You don’t need to list junk foods if you want to lose weight. Your brain will choose the ways to reach the end goal. Identify the end goal. Mistake: “I don’t eat cakes and potato chips.” Correct: “I live a long and happy life with <the full name of the person you love>.”

What you replace a bad habit with should be in real time, as if it were already true.

Incorrect:

• I want to learn to play the guitar

• I will learn to play the guitar

• I am learning to play the guitar

• I will play the guitar

• I will win a guitar competition

Correct:

• I can play the guitar

• I’m an excellent guitar player

• I won a guitar competition

In the world where you work with the subconscious, there is no one-dimensional flow of time. It’s like starting to count 1, 2, 3, 4… and thinking that 7, 8, or 9 don’t exist yet.

Or imagine cards numbered 1 to 9 on a table, and you’re counting them in order. The cards with numbers 7, 8, and 9 also exist, and you know it. However, your attention is currently on the card with number 3, because that’s the current step. It would be illogical to think you don’t know whether 6, 7, and 8 exist. They do. You can’t think they’ll appear later or might not appear at all. That’s not true. Here they are:

Use this model: “Instead of smoking, I play the guitar perfectly.” It’s very hard to make a mistake with this.

The world where you live without your hated habit already exists, along with other worlds. Neopsychotechnology will guide you to the right world like Ariadne’s thread.

And don’t mention your body weight in your phrases, because muscle weighs more than fat. You can become slimmer while gaining muscle mass. Don’t get creative if you don’t know much about anatomy, physiology, or nutrition. Stop blaming the scale for weight increases. Just focus on building muscle instead of fat. Your weight may rise, but you’ll lose fat and your body will become leaner.

Why shouldn’t the prayer beads be too long? Why is wood better?

For the same reason you shouldn’t exercise for more than a minute: the prayer beads shouldn’t bore or annoy you. One round shouldn’t cause boredom or finger fatigue. Your fingers get tired the first time? The prayer beads annoy your subconscious right away? Then it will just lie in your bag or on your nightstand-especially if your fingers hurt later. So, for the first week, don’t do more than one round. And only a couple of times a day: in the morning when you wake, and in the evening before bed. A minute or two is enough. Therefore, the circle shouldn’t have 108 beads: that’s a surefire way to annoy the child in your head.

Wooden rosaries don’t make as much noise as stone ones. And wooden beads aren’t so cold to handle outdoors in winter. You’ll soon be carrying them with you. A normal prayer beads is shown in the photo at the very beginning of Chapter 2.

The smartphone app uses simple games instead of prayer beads and limits game time.
