What are mindtraps?
The Mindtraps Mini seminar is in the process of being
uploaded to the Gold
Members area right now.
Mindtraps are the little
things we do ourselves to keep us trapped in where
we are. They are the
excuses we use to avoid doing the things we need to
do. They are the traps
that we unintentionally set inside of our mind that
can build a cage that has
no escape.
What makes these mindtraps so dangerous is that they are so
elusive. Many
of us have designed our lives to avoid bumping into any of our
mindtraps.
So many of them could be completely invisible to us.
Let me
give you the top five mindtraps that we have discovered.
Expectation --
in any situation we all have an expectation of what the
outcome can be. That
expectation can turn into a trap. It doesn't matter
whether or not you're
talking about expecting success are expecting failure.
Contingency --
when doing one thing depends upon another thing and you have
set a trap of
contingency. Some examples of this our, when I have enough
money I will do,
when I lose five more pounds than I can, after I have
success I will really
try, when I have more time I will.
Comparison -- while comparing your
progress to other people can be
energizing it can also be a mindtrap. Many
people look at other people's
success or failure and decided to not even
try. Some examples are, not
being as pretty, not being as tall, not being as
smart, not being as
dedicated. When you compare yourself to somebody else
and it kills your
motivation than you have fallen into a
mindtrap.
Projection -- in any situation where you take your past success
or failure
and inappropriately attach it to something you want to do, you
have fallen
for the mindtrap of projection. Some examples are, I failed that
this
before, I've done that so I don't have to try.
Perfection -- in
many ways this is the biggest mindtrap. Many people will
not use a new skill
because they are not yet perfect at it. This gets in
the way because in
reality, nobody is ever perfect at any skill. What
happens is you end up
with people who study forever and do nothing.
These five mindtraps are
covered in the Mindtraps Mini Seminar. I have just
uploaded that seminar to
the Gold Members area. The seminar was designed to
allow you to discover
your own personal mindtraps. Until you find the
problem there is no way to
generate a solution.
The seminar is posted on the front page of the Gold
Members area. I would
appreciate if those of you who benefited from being at
the seminar by
attending to our video seminar page on the site, would give
feedback on how
the seminar benefited you.
Have
fun
