“Think of your mind as a piece of technology that you own – a combination of hardware and software. This technology is powerful, but you can also improve upon its current functioning…
As we mature and learn to think consciously, we can wield greater control over our mental training and thus our mental performance. We can recognize and diagnose problems in our thinking. We can find better and stronger mental patterns and retrain our old ones. We can effectively become smarter and more capable by using our intelligence to upgrade our intelligence.
If you’ve ever consciously captured a new skill, such as playing a musical instrument, figuring out how to use a new app, or learning to eat a different diet, then you’ve already experienced the benefits of mental upgrading. But have you considered how many other ways you could train your mind to gain abilities and increase performance? Have you tackled some of the most fundamental upgrades that could add tremendous richness to your life?
Let’s consider some of these foundation-level upgrades:
Sleep Mastery …
Accelerated Learning …
Turning Fear Into Confidence …
Boosting Your Productivity …
Making Good Decisions Efficiently …
Turning Your Inner Critic Into an Inner Coach …
The nice thing about mind hacking is that one change unlocks another, then another, and then another… Don’t settle for sluggish, defective mental software. Upgrading your mindware may not be as easy as upgrading an app on your computer, but it is doable.” ~Steve Pavlina
