Becoming What You Desire

I’m about to share a powerful technique with you, something that can change EVERYTHING in a split second. It’s deceptively simple and it’s something you can do anywhere, at any time. It does take a bit of practice to fully master, but after only a few tries you should be an old pro at it.
What is this amazing technique? BECOME WHAT YOU DESIRE. If you desire to be confident, become confident. If you desire to be successful, become successful. If you desire to be wealthy, become wealthy.
You may be furrowing your brow, wondering what the heck I’m talking about. Isn’t this the old “act as if” technique? Like “fake it until you make it”? Not quite.
What I’m proposing is an actual mental SHIFT. Not faking, becoming. It seems like the same thing, but it’s vastly different. When you “fake” something, you are aware that you are faking it. You are an actor playing a role. You are not “becoming” something or someone else; you are simply pretending to be something or someone else. Therefore, you are not fully invested in the process; therefore you do not receive the full benefits.

When you “become” what you desire, you are stepping into a new reality (even if this new reality exists only in your mind). It’s more than acting; it’s shifting your mind-set so that you FEEL what you would feel if it were your reality, and you THINK what you would think if it were your reality, and you DO what you would do if it were your reality.
Can you sense the power in this technique? I assure you, it’s incredibly effective.
Here’s how to begin:
􀂾 First, consider what you want to “become”. You can start with something simple to begin with, like becoming happy, peaceful or motivated. Take a few deep, slow breaths and try to relax your body.
􀂾 Then, think about what you want to become and consider the feelings that would go along with it. If you want to become happy, you’d likely experience feelings of lightheartedness, joy, and optimism. You’d be smiling, laughing and maybe even humming to yourself.

􀂾 Once you have a firm mental picture of this state of being, mentally SHIFT into it. Imagine stepping smoothly from one state of mind to another. If you do it correctly, you should immediately feel genuinely happy. Your spirits will lift and you’ll have a keener awareness of everything around you.
You can use this very same technique to boost your confidence through the roof! The other exercises in this report will help you to increase your self-confidence over the long-term, but this “becoming” technique can help you feel much more confident any time you need to.
At its core, a lack of confidence simply reveals a limiting belief: a belief that you’re not good enough, strong enough or talented enough (or just “enough” in general). This “becoming” technique will help you change those underlying beliefs.
As you shift into a mind-set of self-confidence, you are in effect CHOOSING TO BELIEVE that you are already confident. You are telling your subconscious mind that your old beliefs were unproductive and you are choosing to embrace new beliefs.
Let’s go through the process of “becoming” confident:

􀂾 As with the previous example, spend a few moments relaxing your mind and body. Do some slow, deep breathing and let all tension flow out of your muscles.
􀂾 Imagine what it feels like to be confident, to be absolutely convinced of your ability to do anything. Imagine the sense of self-assurance and centeredness that would accompany such a belief.
􀂾 Then mentally SHIFT into this new state of being. Instantly you should feel a difference. Fear, doubt and anxiety should have fled and been replaced by a sense of clarity, inner strength and purpose.
If you don’t get it right away, don’t worry. Remember, it will probably take some practice. But once you get comfortable with using this technique – WOW! Everything will change faster than you believed possible. You’ll suddenly realize that you have much more control over your thoughts and emotions than you ever suspected. You’ll be able to choose your mind-set, control your reactions to any situation, decide your confidence level and boost your self-worth - all by performing a simple mental shift.
