empowering beliefs are more desirable, but how do you truly re-program
your mind?
One powerful method for changing beliefs is called modeling. Modeling
simply means to find a successful person and study them carefully. If you
want to speak English powerfully, for example, you find another person
who has learned to do it. You learn about them. You learn what they did and
how they did it. If possible, you talk to them and learn about their
psychology and their methods. Finally, of course, you do your best to do
exactly what they did.
The more you model successful people, the more your beliefs will
change automatically. By focusing on success instead of failure, you
gradually re-program your brain. This is why I created the Effortless
English Club™. In our community, the most successful members guide and
advise newer members. While I hope this book will help to change your
beliefs, there is nothing more powerful than hearing from another person,
just like you, who achieved success.
Your job now is to find successful English speakers and model them. You
might find them in your town. You will certainly find them online. When
you do find them, ask them about their beliefs and methods. Study their
psychology and their success. This is exactly what I did when I developed
the Effortless English™ system. I studied the most successful English
learners. I interviewed them. I studied their emotions, their beliefs, their
goals, and their learning methods. That is how I created a system based on
success, not failure.
Remember, beliefs are created by the meaning we attach to experiences.
The more you focus on and think about negative experiences, the stronger
the limiting beliefs become. You can make empowering beliefs stronger in
the same way. In other words, you can use “selective memory” to create and
strengthen your positive beliefs.
How do you do this? Simply by reviewing all of your past experiences
with English. As you remember all of your past experiences, search your
memory for any that were positive. Maybe you remember a fun activity.
