THE POWER OF BELIEFS
1. you can form a belief about ANYTHING if you can find enough references to support it as true.
2. how to change a limiting or negative belief:
a. associate PAIN to the negative/limiting belief
b. associate PLEASURE to the new, empowering belief by finding reasons to support that it is true.
3. Conviction is something more than a belief—it represents something you are absolutely certain of. You do not allow yourself to see things in any other way.

STRATEGY FOR CHANGE
1. All true change takes place in an INSTANT, not slowly or over time.
2. N.A.C.: a process that links pleasure to good, pain to undesirable beliefs.
a. Two prerequisite beliefs for this to work:
i. 1. I CAN change RIGHT NOW.
ii. 2. Only I am responsible for my own change.

THE SIX STEPS TO LASTING CHANGE
1. I have to decide what I REALLY WANT, and what is preventing me from achieving it.

I want to change my attitudes and interactions with women in ways that will lead me to have great success with women of intelligence and beauty that I feel emotionally connected to. My own limiting beliefs and lack of understanding of female psychology are what are currently holding me back from my goal.

2. Gain leverage! Associate a massive, urgent DESIRE TO CHANGE. Get Motivated.
a. What will it cost me if I don’t change?

I’ll continue to suffer the pain and frustration of having limited choice over the women in my life, and constantly being at the mercy of the wants and desires of women.

b. What will it cost me in the future?

Knowing that I COULD have put in the time, effort, and hard work necessary to change my success with women BUD DID NOT will EAT AWAY AT MY SELF RESPECT and my faith in my own drive and passions.

c. What does it already cost me right now?

Frustration, supplication, lack of choice of a mate makes me stressed out because I know I could possibly be with people who match me better.

d. What positive things would this change bring me RIGHT NOW?

A rich, fulfilling social life, more self-confidence, and the momentum to achieve my other goals in life.

e. What will my friends and family think when I achieve this?

”He’s finally getting success with girls who are at his caliber of person”

f. What will I ultimately gain from this change?

A well-rounded, inspiring life that energizes both itself and the lives of those around me.

3. Change your living pattern.
a. Identify my current pattern.
b. How can I interrupt my current pattern?
c. What are some “state change devices” I can use?
d. Watch myself acting out the old pattern, but speed it up and view it as comical, as a cartoon to disassociate the reactive behavior pattern.
4. Create an ALTERNATIVE behavioral pattern.
a. What benefit did I gain from the other pattern?
b. What can I do to replace the benefit of the old pattern?
5. CONDITION the new behavior until it’s a habit.
a. Focus on the new pattern behavior with TREMENDOUS EMOTIONAL INTENSITY
b. Condition the new pattern through REPETITION/practice.
c. Get a SCHEDULE, and REWARD myself for taking steps toward my goal.
6. TEST the new pattern for effectiveness.
a. Is the new behavioral pattern giving me what I want?
b. Is the new behavioral pattern consistent with my values as a person?
c. Make sure the change will be LONG-TERM.
